"It's time to get off work, thank you guys. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" The manager on duty clapped his hands and shouted, "Everyone go back early to rest, see you tomorrow!" ”

"Okay~ Goodbye manager!" Yu Xiaocao and several little girls in waiter costumes answered in unison.

Although she sounded full of vitality when she shouted this, she was actually too tired to do it.

It's a hot pot restaurant, and these days, it seems like it's the only hot pot restaurant that keeps these increasingly discerning diners warm. And because the hot pot restaurant she is in has a rich base and a unique taste, business is always good, and the girls are busy almost every day with backache, but the salary is pitiful.

With such a job, there may not be many girls who can see it. If she could, she wouldn't want to. She is an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. A few months ago, she graduated from high school, but she did not report to the university she was going to - because she was 18 years old and an adult, and the orphanage had limited conditions to continue to cover her tuition and living expenses, she dropped out.

She is not reconciled, but compared to studying, supporting herself is the most important thing at the moment. In this way, only with high Chinese, she finally found a job as a waiter in a hot pot restaurant, so no matter how hard and tired she is, she will grit her teeth.

She looked up at the clock on the wall, fortunately, it was only nine o'clock, and the day ended early. She took off her hotpot overalls in the locker room, changed into her T-shirt and jeans, tied her ponytail again, said goodbye to the manager, and hurried home.

This small city has not been peaceful lately. Speaking of which, it's been the last year or two.

In the beginning, there were always people who had strange diseases, such as fever, vomiting, drowsiness, weakness of the limbs, and in severe cases, they would fall into a coma. Because these diseases are scattered and difficult to unify their characteristics, the hospital has not diagnosed what the disease is. What's even more strange is that these people have been cultivating for a month or two, and then inexplicably recovered. There are still many people who suffer from the disease over and over again, but people are not as frightened as they were at the beginning. It seems to treat it as a minor illness like a cold, thinking that a few night's sleep will restore health.

In addition, dogs in small cities will always bark inexplicably, and in some remote communities, dogs can bark for almost a week, making people unable to sleep. Finally, someone with good deeds suggested that a ban on dogs should be imposed in the city, that is, all dogs should be slaughtered. Of course, some dog lovers refused, but they didn't expect the people's voice to be too high, and the government had to pass a ban on dogs. So now the dogs in the small town can be killed, sent, and escaped, and there is hardly a single one in sight.

There are also rumors of strange things appearing in the small town. It is said that at night, someone saw a strange figure appear on the roof of the house, but it disappeared again in a flash. Others passed by dark corners and saw dark red eyes staring at him coldly. There are also people who experience a similar situation even at home.

Some so-called gods and demon masters have made up their minds to chaos, and all these visions are caused by demons, and the world is going to be in chaos.

Of course, people who are afraid of death believe it, and they do not hesitate to ask God to embrace the Buddha. Even a few little girls in the hot pot restaurant each have a talisman in their hands and hang it close to their necks.

Yu Xiaocao didn't care about this. What demons, what chaos in the world, as long as she can have something to eat, a place to sleep, and a high ground when the sky falls, what does she care.

Yu Xiaocao walked on the bright streets, she only wore a thin T-shirt, and the wind blew in the night, shivering with cold.

"It's so cold, when the salary is paid, I'm going to buy a bunch of clothes, change one every day, not the same for a week!"

For such an idea, if the girl who works with her hears it, she will definitely laugh at her like this: "Yu Xiaocao, are you so good?" ”

Yes, that's all she has to offer. It's easy to eat and clothe yourself.

However, she is reluctant to spend her hard-earned money like this. She wants to save it, maybe she will have the opportunity in the future, and she can go to university again? Then this money will definitely be used.

She lives not far from the shop where she works, in an old neighborhood. Yu Xiaocao likes this, mainly because the price is cheap, only 600 yuan a month, and water and electricity are included! But the environment, ahem—see for yourself.

Just across the road one more time, you can see the gate of the dilapidated neighborhood.

However, Yu Xiaocao was not in a hurry to go back, she looked around at the intersection, turned to the left, walked a hundred meters, and walked into a deserted bush.

The trees are overgrown with weeds, and the dense foliage hides a glimmer of light inside, making it a good place to hide. Yu Xiaocao skillfully walked through a bush with his waist on his waist, and finally reached a slightly empty place in the center of the bush. She straightened up, patted her head full of leaves, took out a bag of things from her bag, and said in a low voice, "Big Ash, it's time to eat, what do you see I brought you?" ”

But there was silence in the bushes, and there was no sound.

It's strange, isn't Big Ash waiting for her here today?

Big Ash is a dog, probably.

Its fur is dirty gray, I don't know if it's too dirty or if it's gray in the first place. The first time I met it, it was also on such a night after work, it curled up in the bushes on the side of the road, if it weren't for Yu Xiaocao's bright eyes, and her nerves were bold, she saw the faint shining eyes in the bushes, and stepped forward to throw a few pieces of bread to it, it might have starved to death.

"Eat, Big Ash."

She gave it the name of Big Gray without permission.

But the dog was not ordinary cold, even though he was so hungry that he was shivering all over, he didn't even glance at the bread in front of him, but raised his head and spied on her secretly with two ghostly eyes.

"Hey, where are you from?" Yu Xiaocao was speechless to herself after asking, it was a dog, how could she answer her, so she changed the subject and said, "Are you a husky?" No, huskies are darker. So you're Hiromi? Well...... It doesn't seem right, Hiromi isn't that big. So, are you a Samoyed? Well...... Although the body size is a little smaller, it should not have grown up yet, and the appearance is similar, and Samoyed seems to have gray ......"

Yu Xiaocao likes dogs very much, and when she met other people's dogs before, she had to come forward to play with them. But after the ban on dogs was imposed in the town, no dogs were seen. Now I met one here, and it seems that it is also a victim of the dog ban, and I am a little more excited.

As he spoke, Da Ash seemed to relax his guard against Xiaocao, and seemed to roll his eyes at her, then slowly lowered his head and continued to lean his head on his front paws, listening to Yu Xiaocao's tirade with great interest.

Seeing its actions, Yu Xiaocao laughed excitedly: "Haha, it turns out that you are really a Samoyed!" ”

didn't notice that the big gray gave her a slap in the eye.

"Big Ash, you must eat, you are still growing your body, and you can't grow up if you don't eat. By the way, I know a place where you can hide, you are not safe here, and if you eat the bread, I will consider whether to take you to that place. Ash raised his head as if he understood, and his ears pricked up.

Hell, how did Yu Xiaocao think that its eyes were like people, with a questioning look.

"I'm not going to lie to you."

Hearing this, Da Ash actually moved his legs, got up and stretched, and then slowly took a bite of the bread slice and ate it carefully. Yu Xiaocao watched it with relish, in fact, she had never seen a dog so depressed and behave as noble as it.

I can't help but secretly speculate: Is this big gray the prince of the dog kingdom? Did you accidentally end up in the world?

The answer is, of course, unknown. However, since that night Yu Xiaocao brought it to this bush, Big Ash has almost all hid here. In order to make it more comfortable, she also built a kennel for it. After work, he also buys two of his favorite chicken thighs. I thought she was so good to it, it should be as close to her owner as it was, but the dog still had a kingly attitude that was proud of the world.

Yu Xiaocao said that she was helpless.

Today, as usual, after hearing her voice, Ash would gently walk up to her and rub his head against her leg - this was the most affectionate gesture Ash had ever done to her.

But Yu Xiaocao waited for a while, and it still didn't come over.

There was a strange smell in the air.

She turned on her phone and used the light of the screen to look for the figure of Big Gray in the trees. The moment the light swept over the kennel, Yu Xiaocao saw the big gray lying in it bloodily, and when he panicked, the mobile phone fell to the ground with a "snap".

"Big Ash!" Yu Xiaocao even forgot to pick up her mobile phone, and hurriedly knelt beside the kennel, eager to confirm the condition of Da Ash.

There were several holes in the big gray's belly, and the blood flowed so much that its hair and claws were blood-red, and the cushions under its body were also soaked with blood. The entire kennel was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made Yu Xiaocao's stomach churn.

The big ash had not yet breathed, its eyes were slightly open, and its eyes were not as bright as usual, like an oil lamp about to be extinguished, and the oil lamp had withered. Seeing Yu Xiaocao, its originally dull eyes moved slightly.

This subtle move caused a sour nose in the grass. Big Ash was so proud, he definitely didn't want her to see this.

"Big Ash, who did such a cruel thing to you?" Big Ash couldn't give her an answer.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the bushes, as if someone was approaching this way. As if sensing the danger, Big Gray moved his leg a few times, but he was too badly injured to stand up.

Yu Xiaocao gently stroked its back with her hand, trying to calm it down.

As the sound grew from far to near, a figure emerged from the bushes. It was too dark in the bushes, and the light on the mobile phone screen had been extinguished, so Yu Xiaocao couldn't see the person's face clearly. But I don't feel good, and my back is cold.

"You, who are you? Are you the one who caused the big trouble? ”

The man said coldly, "Get out." I just want that guy's body, and if you want to live, get out of the way. ”

"I won't let you hurt Ash again! A dog's life is his life, how can he let you come nonsense! ”

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you together!" There was murder in his tone.

Is there any royal law left? Are criminals so rampant now? Yu Xiaocao is a bull temper again, and he is unwilling to bow his head easily to the evil forces. She raised her voice and said, "If you have the ability, you will kill me!" ”

Now that it is a legal society, she doesn't believe that this person is so bold.

Her hand rested lightly on the big gray head, trembling unconsciously. The big ash has no sound, and I don't know if it's dead.

"Okay! I will fulfill you! ”

The man shouted angrily, and Yu Xiaocao only saw something shining with a cold light, so he flew towards her, touched her chest, and easily pierced through her chest.

A tearing pain came from the heart, and the thing suddenly left the body again. She felt as if her heart had stopped beating, and her hand trembled and touched her chest, a slimy liquid.

Could it be her blood?

She felt the strength in her body pass away with something, and her whole body went limp, and she fell to the ground with her head up.

Could it be that she died like this?

Although she was unwilling, her head became heavier and heavier, and her vision became white, and the man seemed to be laughing at her, but she couldn't hear the specific content clearly.

Fortunately, he didn't cut her neck, otherwise it wouldn't look good to be a ghost. Thinking like this, the pain in her body gradually became unfelt, and her body became fluttery, and Yu Xiaocao unconsciously closed her eyes......

Yu Xiaocao, died, at the age of 18.

(Haha, joke~~ Let's see who can revive the silly hat heroine~~)
