Chapter 44: Halloween Unexpected Discovery
"Ringing Ringing Ring......" Guo Fu was wearing a bib and was cooking in the kitchen, when suddenly the mobile phone rang.
She picked up the phone, and it turned out to be a call from Huang Jiaxi's classmate.
"Nannan, your classmate is looking for you professionally, come and answer the phone. Guo Fu shouted.
Huang Jiaxi was eating potato chips on the sofa and watching "Zhi Q Pet Shop" with Cui Tao. Hearing her mother's scream, she felt very strange, what is the matter with dedication?
"Hey, I'm Huang Jiaxi, my mother said you were looking for me?"
"It's Halloween, I'm with cookies and lemons, and we're going to go out to beg for candy. Jingye said excitedly on the phone.
Huang Jiaxi then remembered that today was Halloween, and there were pumpkin lanterns that his father bought a few days ago. It doesn't matter if it's Halloween or not, it's ...... It's okay to hang out!
"Mom, today is Halloween, and they are going out to play, and I want to go out too!" Huang Jiaxi said coquettishly.
Guo Fu didn't seem to have a reason to refuse her at first glance, the other children had gone out to play, and if she didn't play, she would sulk. "Okay then, but just play for a while and come back early. ”
"Okay, fries! Let's go, the dog expedition is going to move again!" Huang Jiaxi put on his coat and walked out of the door anxiously.
Cui Tao jumped off the sofa, wagged his tail, and followed closely behind Huang Jiaxi.
Halloween is commonly known as Halloween in the West, and children can go out to beg for candy. There are more expatriates in the magic city, and the Halloween atmosphere in the downtown neighborhood is relatively strong. Foreigners love to party, wear strange costumes, and many bars have all kinds of quirky posters and dolls at the door.
When Huang Jiaxi took Cui Tao downstairs, Jingye led the corgi, Biscuits led the Schnauzer, and Lemon led the border herd, and they had been waiting for a long time.
The children chattered around and the four dogs greeted each other.
The corgi wore two big glowing black ears on his head, and Cui Tao smiled: "You show your teeth, you look like a vampire." ”
"It's a five-dollar bargain on the Internet, I'll find a chance to throw it away later!" Corgi said with a frown.
The four children are also prepared for Halloween. Huang Jiaxi carried a pumpkin lantern, Jingye wore a black felt hat, held a Harry Potter broom, and put on a beetle's cape on Biscuits. As for Lemon, she wears a green wig and long nails on her fingers.
"Haha, we're going to be cheeky and beg for candy. Huang Jiaxi shouted.
"If you don't give candy, we'll be trick-or-treated!" added Jingye.
"Yes, we're an invincible dog expedition!" cried Biscuit and Lemon in unison.
Since the last dog expedition discovered the treasure, the four children have been greatly inspired. They are also full of confidence in today's Halloween sugar plan.
Cui Tao knew that the last time they found the treasure was pure luck, and it was impossible to find the treasure every time they explored. Anyway, it's boring to stay at home by yourself, so let's play with them.
The four children quickly planned the route, and they decided to go around the road inside the community, and as long as they met adults, they would come forward to beg for candy.
"Dog Expedition, let's go!"
Four children and four dogs walked on the road with a lot of fighting. Some adults saw them coming and stayed away, while others could not avoid it, and most of them waved their hands in panic in the face of the children's begging for candy.
They have traveled around most of the district, and their record can be described as dismal. Only a mother with a stroller saw that the four children were too noisy, so she took out four candies for them.
The momentum that used to be is now gone. Everyone drooped their heads, and even the team almost scattered.
"Oh, so lovely children!" At this moment, a chubby foreign lady, holding a Chihuahua and Hiromi, came up to her.
Both dogs were dressed up very coolly. The Chihuahua wears a Templar helmet, has a bone on its chest, and a pumpkin balloon rope tied to its left front foot. Hiromi is draped in a white cloth full of holes, a carrot hangs from her chest, and a bow is tied around her tail.
"There must be sugar in the foreigner, let's go over!" Huang Jiaxi gave an order, led the dog expedition, and ran over collectively.
“Trick or treat?”
Cui Tao, Corgi, Schnauzer, and Bian Mu will surround Chihuahuas and Hiromeranian. Cui Tao remembers hearing Corgi say that these two very musically gifted dogs live on the third floor. The Chihuahua is the guitarist and Hiromi is the lead singer of the band.
"Just came back from a party? Corgi stepped forward and said hello.
It can be seen that Chihua and Hiromi are in high spirits, and their four legs are shaking rhythmically, as if they are still immersed in the high-pitched rhythm of the previous party.
"You don't know them yet, do you?" Corgi said to Cui Tao, "They are a pair of living treasures in the community, super music enthusiasts." The Chihuahua on the left is called Messi, and the Pomeranian on the right is called Mildew, and the singing voice is like a heavenly sound. ”
The Chihuahua removed her Templar helmet and struck the different sides of the helmet with her bones, giving the blow a high and low sound. Hiromi removes the carrot from her chest and holds it with her front legs, which she uses as a microphone.
"Knock Knock Knock Knock~~Cut Knock Knock~Knock Knock~~~" Chihuahua plays sonata music, and pulls from time to time, the pumpkin balloon tied to the foot.
Hiromi spread her voice and sang affectionately. “Knock Knock,trick or treat,who are you,I am a ghost I am a little ghost......”
sang so well that Cui Tao listened to it fascinated. The corgi and border herds on the side were also dancing, and the schnauzer was relatively conservative, just listening quietly.
The foreigner bent down, smiled and took out the candy from her bag, and said to the four children: "Honey, these sugars for you".
"Good luck!" the four children took the candy and said goodbye to the female foreigner.
Chihua and Hiromi have gone far, but the beautiful melody just now is still lingering in the dog's ears.
Cui Tao thought to himself, this community is really a place where the dragon is hidden, and there are so many talented dogs.
"You see, a lot of adults don't have sugar on them. Jingye was a little disappointed and summed up the reasons why he couldn't get sugar.
"We are walking on the road, like looking for a needle in a haystack, how can we get sugar?" It seems that Lemon has also lost faith in this event.
What to do, the morale of the team is very low. Huang Jiaxi is also very anxious, and she has always had high hopes for the dog expedition.
"We're going to have to find another way to beg for candy. Biscuit added.
Corgi joked to the dogs: "People's hearts are scattered, it's not easy to carry." It seems that I can go home early today and rest. ”
Cui Tao ran to Huang Jiaxi's side and rubbed her feet, wanting to give her some encouragement.
"Yes, I thought of it!" Huang Jiaxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a clever plan. The three friends gathered around and listened. "Well, Jingye was right just now, these adults on the road don't have sugar in their pockets. So where is their sugar?"
The little friend scratched his ears and cheeks, and soon he rushed to answer. "Sugar, it's usually at home. ”
"That's right, so we're going in the wrong direction for this dog adventure. We should not beg for sugar on the road, but we should go to these people's homes to beg for sugar. Huang Jiaxi continued.
Huang Jiaxi's words made the other friends pause.
"That's right, Jiaxi is right, who will run out of sugar in their house?" Biscuit agreed.
The four children quickly reached an agreement, they decided not to stop people on the community road to beg for candy, but to sweep the building!
They found a target building and rushed into it with people and dogs. They were not able to knock on the door and ask for candy, but shouted a few times on each floor.
"Is there any sugar? Do the uncles and aunts on the third floor have sugar?"
There were several floors with the owner's door open, and the little ones politely came forward to beg for candy. "Uncle, it's Halloween, do you have any candy at home?"
In this way, they received a lot of sweets and chocolates, as well as blessings from others. The way of begging for sugar in sweeping the building is much more efficient than begging for sugar on the road.
The four children were very satisfied, and everyone gained a lot.
However, Cui Tao and the other four dogs were exhausted. Climbing stairs is not a strong point for dogs, in addition to the long legs of the border herders, Cui Tao, Corgi and Schnauzer are all more difficult. When the four little owners begged for candy, they also had to cooperate with the side to sell cute, and many owners also gave the candy for the sake of the dog's face.
There is also the last floor of the tenth floor.
The three families on this floor seem quiet.
"Is there anyone? It's Halloween, let's beg for candy and ......," Jingye shouted.
Rooms 1001 and 1003 are closed, and the door of room 1002 in the middle has a thin slit.
"Forget it, let's go back, there doesn't seem to be anyone here. Biscuits retreated.
Cui Tao sniffed with his nose and smelled a strange smell in the air. He walked to the door of room 1002, and the smell of rot was getting stronger and stronger.
"Napoleon, do you smell something strange?" Cui Tao asked.
"Yes, I smell it as soon as I arrive, and I have a sense of foreboding. "Corgi should.
Curiosity kills the cat, Cui Tao felt that room 1002 was very suspicious, and he wanted to go in and take a look.
"Jiaxi, your fries have gone to room 1002. Lemon saw Cui Tao walk into room 1002.
After Cui Tao, Corgi, Schnauzer, and Bian Mu also walked into the room. "The smell seems to come from the bedroom. "Bian Mu also feels it.
Huang Jiaxi saw that the dogs had all gone in, and said, "The dogs must smell the candy, let's go in and ask together!"
"Is there anyone inside?" shouted the four children outside the door.
The more daring dedication turned on the light in the living room and found that the room was empty. There were a lot of candy and crumpled fruits on the table.
"There's sugar here...... Lemon spotted sugar on the table.
Cui Tao wandered at the door of the bedroom, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see anything. "Edison, can you turn on the lights inside?"
Bian Mu ran to the bedroom door, picked up his hind legs, leaned on the wall with his front legs, and pressed the switch.
With a bang, the lights in the bedroom came on.
Oh my God, an elderly man hanged himself from a chandelier.
The deceased's face was pale, his lips were blue, and he was especially ...... Cui Tao was shocked! Especially the red silk scarf around the neck of the deceased, which also had a peony on it.
Cui Tao was deeply impressed by this red silk scarf embroidered with peonies! It was exactly the same as the red silk scarf in the treasure that day!
Could it be that this deceased has something to do with the treasure that was discovered earlier?
"Haha, everyone, come and see, there's a ghost here!" Jingye saw the hanged person in the house and beckoned other friends to come and see.
Cui Tao felt nausea in his nose, this person had obviously been dead for several days.
"Quick, get the kids out of here! Can't let them stay here!" Cui Tao shouted anxiously.
When Corgi, Schnauzer, and Bian Mu heard this, they hurried out of the house.
"Huh, why are the dogs gone, then let's go too!" Huang Jiaxi saw that the dogs had run away, and he also pulled his friends to run out together.
"Uncle, come down, don't pretend to be a ghost, let's go and ...... first" When the biscuit left, he didn't forget to leave a sentence.
Cui Tao ran to the eighth floor in one breath, and his mood gradually calmed down. The scene just now was so terrifying, I didn't expect to meet the hanged ghost on Halloween!
What made Cui Tao feel palpitations was not the tragic appearance of the hanged ghost, but the peony red silk scarf around his neck.
Why did the deceased have the same red silk scarf around his neck as the treasure? This mystery haunted Cui Tao's heart......
