Chapter 42: The Lost Dog
Luckily, they threw their sticks for a while and then they were all gone, but they still chased after me. Suddenly, I saw a shanty town in front of me, and the alleys here were so tortuous and complicated that I couldn't get rid of them, so I found an alley and went in. When I got to the alley, I turned and turned around, and I didn't know where to go. But fortunately, the footsteps behind are getting quieter and quieter, and it seems that they have been thrown off.
It's just that I don't know how to get out now, so late, all the portals have already turned off the lights and rested, but there are a few dog barks from time to time. I didn't dare to walk around, for fear that if I ran into them, it would really be over, so I had to find a place to hide first. But these alleys are empty, and you can't find shelter if you want to.
Suddenly, I heard a dog barking not far away, and I thought it must have been recruited by those people. Gradually, I could hear the footsteps, and I continued to walk, only to turn a corner!
I was just about to turn around and go in the other direction, when I suddenly saw a bastard appear on the opposite side of the alley and quickly hid against the wall. Then I heard a voice say, "Go over there!"
I couldn't sit still, and while he was still some distance away, I jumped hard, grabbed the wall with both hands, and flipped into it at once, trying not to make a sound. But as soon as I landed, I heard a dog barking frantically! It turned out that the family also had a dog.
The lights in the house came on in an instant, and the big courtyard was so empty that I had nowhere to hide! After a while, an old peasant dressed in sackcloth, holding a shovel in his hand, came out of the house and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?" At this time, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old leaned out from behind him, staring at me timidly. The old farmer pushed her and said, "Go back, who let you out!"
I opened my hands to show that I had no malicious intentions, and I said, "Uncle, there are bad people chasing me behind, and I have no choice but to climb over the wall and come in, please let me hide here!"
At this time, I heard a noise outside: "Boss, there seems to be a situation here!"
"Go in and have a look!"
"Yes"
Then I heard the sound of noisy footsteps from far and near, and my face changed slightly, and I looked at the old peasant with a begging gaze. The little girl in the back dragged the old farmer and said, "Dad, seeing that this big brother doesn't look like a bad guy, let him come in and hide." The old peasant frowned and said, "Come in, hide in the back room." ”
I folded my hands, bowed to him, and hurried into the house. The house was simple enough, with a stove and a square table for eating, and nothing but a clay kang and a dilapidated wardrobe in the back room. The little girl led me in, closed the door, and said, "Big brother, just hide here for a while, my father will drive them away." ”
It is said that every time you slaughter more dogs, you are a scholar with a negative heart! Such a poor family can be so kind and selfless to help a stranger. I said, "Thank you, little sister. When I go back, whatever you want, I'll buy it and give it to you!"
The little girl shook her head and said, "Dad said, you can't just ask for other people's things!"
Oh my God, I've only seen this simplicity and kindness in books. I said, "How can it be casual, you saved my life, and I should repay you!"
The little girl shook her head again and said, "Dad said, we don't help others to get something in return!"
I think the so-called upper class in the Dahua Club in suits and leather shoes will also blush in front of the little girl.
After a while, I heard the slamming of the door outside, and then there was a commotion.
"Old man, did a boy about twenty years old come in?"
"Who are you? No one in my house has come in, get out!"
"No, what's wrong with your dog?"
"So many of you are running around in the middle of the night, of course the dogs are going to bark! Get out of here, you're not welcome here!"
"You can't hide it, do you? Brothers, search for me!"
"Stop, are you robbers!"
"Get out of the way!"
I secretly said that it is not good, these people are like dog skin plasters. I took a look, and there was so little room to hide, and the best thing to hide was this wardrobe. I whispered a few words to the little girl, and quickly hid, and as soon as I did, the door was pushed open.
I heard someone say, "Look at the closet!"
The little girl said, "You can't touch it!
"Hmm, don't let you touch it? Is there someone hiding inside?"
"No! You are not allowed to move!"
"Get out of the way!"
Then I heard the little girl's "ah", she should have been pushed. And then the "squeak" closet was opened!
"Boss, nothing!"
"Well, let's go! go look elsewhere, I don't believe he can still fly with wings!"
After waiting for a while, the little girl said, "Big brother, come out." They're all gone!"
I lifted the quilt and came out, and the quilts were stacked on the kang in this shantytown, and I put them in a corner, and I curled up behind the quilt. I deliberately let the little girl block the wardrobe, in fact, to attract their attention and ignore it.
I came out and asked the little girl, "Are you alright?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "Big brother, I'm fine, those bad guys have been deceived by me, am I very powerful!"
I touched her head, "You're the best! Thanks to you, I would have been miserable today." ”
The little girl smiled proudly.
At this time, the old peasant came in. He looked at me and asked, "Young man, why did you provoke those people, they don't look like good people!"
I told them a little bit about it. The little girl said angrily, "Those people are so bad! Let the police arrest them all!"
I saw that the time was almost up, and they should be far away, so I got up and said goodbye: "Uncle, thank you for taking you in! ”
The old farmer took a puff of dry tobacco with a big cigarette stick: "Young man, don't provoke those people in the future." Seeing that you are not very old, don't put yourself in it for the rest of your life, it is not cost-effective. ”
I said, "Well, I'll take notice." ”
In fact, I deliberately provoked them, this society is like this, sometimes if you don't make trouble, there are always those troublemakers who provoke you, you put up with them and they will become worse, if you don't bear them, you will be your enemy, and try to retaliate against you.
Bidding farewell to the old farmer and my little sister, I walked alone in the alley, and I didn't remember the way when I ran seven or eight times just now, so I had to look for one direction and keep walking. It's a new moon tonight, it's dark, there's not even a street lamp here, and I can't see the road, so I can only walk slowly. After walking for more than half an hour, it was easy to come out of the small alley.
"Boss, he's here!" a voice shouted more than ten meters away from me, I looked closely, and I could indeed vaguely see a figure, it turned out that they were all waiting for me outside. But it's really persistent, don't you sleep at night?
I spread my legs and ran forward, not caring whether I could see the road clearly, when I heard the footsteps behind me start to become dense.
"Catch him, don't let this kid run away again! Toss us all night, clean up later!"
As soon as I heard that I was running faster, not long after I ran out, I suddenly fell and rolled down, and then fell into the water with a "thud". It turned out to be a riverbank, I didn't notice.
The river was cold at night, and goosebumps all over my body instantly rose. By this time some of them had already run to the riverbank, and I cursed and began to swim in the opposite direction. I don't know if any of you have crossed the river at night, it would have been a punishment, not to mention that I was still clothed and had a hard time swimming.
"Boss, he's gone down the river. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, swim over!"
"Yes!" Then I heard two plops, and then "Ah, no, boss, this water is so cold, I'm going to cramp when I go in!"
"Waste! Find out if there's a bridge nearby to cross. Then they walked away.
I swam for five minutes to reach the opposite shore, and as soon as I climbed up, a gust of night wind blew, and I shivered, it was so cold! Suddenly my calf cramped, and I sat down on the ground at once, and my calf hurt and could not move, and my big female toe was bent as if it were stiff. I shivered and endured the pain, took off my shoes, and pulled my big female toes back, and every time I broke the tendons on the back of my calves, my heart hurt. After a dozen times of back and forth, I finally eased up a bit.
I was afraid for a while, I had to go ashore to have cramps, and if I had pumped in the water, my life would have to be here. Being so embarrassed by a group of little bastards, I was angry and wanted to laugh.
Wait for me to go back, I have to teach these little deflated three a good lesson, or everyone will really come and step on me.
I took off my clothes, wrung the water vigorously, and put them back on. Even so, it is only a little more relaxed, and whoever wants to bring a military coat at this time, I will not hesitate to change it with him with tens of thousands of clothes. There was a small forest on this side of the river, and I had no way to go, so I went in and saw if I could find my way. Now the sad mobile phone is also flooded and can't be used, and there is nothing on the body, even if you find the way, you don't know how to go home.
This tree must have been around for a long time, and it was already as thick as one person hugging it, and it was overgrown with weeds. Before I came out tonight, I couldn't have imagined that this would end up in any way. I folded my arms in front of my chest and walked forward tremblingly, my feet tripped over dead branches and rotten leaves from time to time, and I was panicked like a lost dog.
I didn't expect this forest to be so big, and it stands to reason that we would run so far to the suburbs at most, and not too far from the city, unless I went in the opposite direction. I'm in a bit of a dilemma, I don't know how far I can get out, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back, I go so long and then turn back, in case I run into that group of people who really cry and can't find a place.
Having made up my mind, I pulled myself together and continued on my way.
