Chapter Fifty-Eight: An Unintended Visitor
Along the path, Wen Yang trotted and followed Da Bai and Er Bai towards the grove.
Entering the boundary of the grove, Erbai's expression was obviously more cautious, he tensed his muscles, running like a gust of wind, and as soon as the wind blew and the grass moved, he immediately stood motionless, and the two pointed ears on his head trembled at high speeds.
Wen Yang sniffed.
The air in the woods is different from the smell of home, and the smell of the road is also different, it is a kind of aroma with a faint fishy smell of earth and green grass leaves, and in the early morning and after the rain, the air will be particularly humid, revealing a cold smell of rain.
But at this moment, he smelled something uncommon that did not belong in the grove.
Solemnly slowing down, Wen Yang began to move forward, paying attention to his surroundings.
All the way from the path, I didn't notice any changes, and until the edge of the woods, there was no big abnormality, and by the side of the white mushroom hut, the original clumps of thin and straight grass blades fell down one by one.
Around the hut, there were a few small mud footprints, and scattered pieces of mud were scattered around the footprints.
This is the mud left over from the landfill process after Wenyang dug a ring-shaped deep pit to fix the wall made of bamboo mats, the weather has been dry and cold these days, and the mud has also become dry, Da Bai and Er Bai stepped on the soil in the run, so they left a little plum blossom-shaped footprints.

There are small footprints, and there is nothing abnormal, but a few lodging blades of grass press on the footprints of the brothers, and the outline of the lodging blades of grass looks like the footprints of adults.
The owner of the footprints did not try to hide that he had been here, and the small slope was covered with messy blades of grass, especially on the edge of the white mushroom hut, and the traces of human movement were even more obvious. And the breath that did not belong to the grove kept wafting into the nose of a canine like Wenyang.
Wen Yang couldn't say what kind of smell it was, some of which were close to the pungent smell of car exhaust and paint, but not strong.
Da Bai and Er Bai looked a little uneasy.
This is their only "home" in the city, the grove is located in the middle of nowhere, and the white mushroom hut is in the depths of the grove, which is a good place to calm down, but suddenly there are unknown visitors. Seeing the anxious looks of the two brothers, Wen Yang decided that no matter who came, he must find out this guy.
Walking around the white mushroom hut in a carpet a few laps, Wen Yang found that the fallen blades of grass gradually extended in the other direction of the grove, and finally interspersed with a river, and walked along the river bank, and came to the only water source in the woods - a small pond.
Originally, Wenyang wanted to walk some distance along the other side of the river to take a look, but time did not allow it, and it was not early. That peculiar smell and only vague outline footprints were all the clues he had now.
Quickly walked back to the white mushroom hut from the small pond, Da Bai Erbai, who was lying on the edge of the house, stood up, and wagged his tail at Wenyang with a hint of expectation.
There was no way, raising a front paw, Wen Yang gently patted Da Bai and Er Bai's heads as comfort, said goodbye to them, and walked towards Tong Jun's house.
In that bachelor apartment, there is also a literary young man waiting for him to deliver food.
Outside where Tong Jun lives, there are not many snack bars, but there is a vegetable market, a small supermarket and a few convenience stores, and in a farther place, there is also a café.
The two female clerks in front of the cash register were chatting about the Korean drama they watched last night, and they didn't see a husky walking into the store at all.
Could it be that the sensor door is broken?
Just now, I heard the sound of opening the door with a ding dong, but when I turned my head to look, I didn't see anyone, and I had to find a maintenance worker to check it another day.
Fortunately, the position of the lunch box in the convenience store is not too high, Wen Yang tiptoed, pulled two boxes of pork chop rice from the freezer, and struggled to carry them to the cash register.
The female clerk who didn't notice a customer coming in started talking about their Korean drama again, and Wen Yang, who was squatting outside the cash register, was too short to be completely ignored by them.
As a last resort, Wen Yang had no choice but to scream.
To his surprise, the woman's shrill screams rang out, and the two cashiers trembled and stuck their heads out from behind the counter to find a chubby husky crouching outside the counter, looking at them with a bewildered expression.
The plump clerk patted his chest, his expression was rich, and he exaggeratedly sighed: "I'm scared to death!" Why do we have an extra husky in the store! ”
Seeing that he had finally attracted the attention of the two women, Wen Yang took a box of lunches in his mouth, stood on tiptoe, and sent them to the counter, and then put the remaining box of lunches on the countertop.
Looking at the husky's movements, the two clerks looked at each other.
Is this dog trying to buy something?
When Wen Yang took out fifty yuan from his small vest and put it on the counter again, they seemed to finally understand Wen Yang's intentions, and hesitantly put the lunch box into a plastic bag, and put the change they found into the bag.
Holding the bag in his hand, Wen Yang walked away quickly, and the topic of the conversation between the two female clerks in the convenience store finally changed, and they began to discuss with great excitement who has a dog in the neighborhood, whose dog is smarter, and where did this husky who can only buy things by himself come from.
Wen Yang was happy in his heart, holding the bag and revealing a stupid smile.
Tong Jun's door was not closed, Wen Yang used his head to push it, the door opened, and the song of the domestic rock band in the 70s was playing in the house, Tong Jun shook his head enthusiastically with the music like chicken blood.
It seems that it's not just a young man of literature and art!
It may be a young man......
Wen Yang took a deep look at the man, and threw the bag of boxed lunches that kept mixing his legs along the way in front of Tong Jun's heels.
The music stopped abruptly.
Tong Jun turned off the stereo and smiled brightly: "Da Mao, are you back?" It's good, it's amazing! What did you buy...... I'll see. ”
Taking out two boxes of pork chop rice from the bag, and then taking out a handful of change, Tong Jun rubbed Wenyang's head enthusiastically: "How did Gong Jiang train you, so good?" Let me tell you, the dogs I had when I was a child were stupid and stupid. Na, the husky of the old X family is far worse than you, once he had a business trip, it was only a day and a half! Do you know what happened to the house when you go back? Tsk, at that time, Lao X called the police, as soon as the police came, they took a look, said a word to take care of your dog, and saluted and left......"
