A dog that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time was scurrying around the deserted streets, and the only thing that could be recognized by the big head was that it was a schnauzer, and it had to be judged by its trademark beard, but it still looked like a dirt dog. From time to time, it stopped and looked back, barked a few times, took a few steps back, stopped and ran forward.

This is a bridge hole, the old bridge deck is still the oldest cement building, the bridge is very close to the ground, from the surface of the face must walk up a long stairs, enter the bridge deck must bow your head, otherwise you will be knocked down.

The rain washed the ground, this was the first rain since the beginning of winter, and the snow that had not yet melted because of this sudden rain added a new ice feast to the city.

The air was filled with the pain and coldness of the raindrops hitting the skin, and no one wanted to leave the house in such bad weather, not even the homeless people who chose to walk around in such bad weather.

The rain showed no signs of stopping, and the needle-like raindrops fell on the bridge deck, and the earth dog stopped and turned around again, pricked up his ears to listen to the crackling sound in the bridge hole, and then barked twice alertly, and ran to the entrance of the bridge with his limbs open, raising his head and continuing to bark.

The raindrops fell on its head, and it seemed to be pierced by the raindrops that looked like ice needles, and it retracted and whined. Limbs stamped into a stained pool, splashing onto the concrete wall. It ran forward, the bridge as never-ending as an endless tunnel.

Only there was some light at the entrance. The deeper you go, the more bottomless you get. Occasionally, there is a creaking sound of electricity, proving that there was once a light here, but it is now dilapidated.

Card rub! Card rub!

Something fell from the entrance, and it sounded like something was being dragged and struggled. Soon a shadow emerged from the light, no, to be exact, it looked more like a mutated lizard walking upright. The bark of the earth dog came from far and near, and it stood in the darkness and roared at the strange form, defending its territory.

The figure stopped on the stairs. The backlit thread could not reach its face, but from the outside, the thing was holding itself back, with one foot in the waterhole. The other foot was still hanging on the stairs, and he was lying sideways, his big head glowing, and a rough white mist came out of his skull.

The earth dog took a step back, his eyes still refusing to relax, not letting go of the strange visitor in front of him.

Perhaps it was frightened by what it saw, or perhaps it didn't realize that there would be goods under such a bridge, and it hesitated for a long time at the earth dog and continued to drag its strange figure down.

There was a rumbling sound overhead, and a lot of lime water was shaken, and the earth dog immediately shook his whole body to shake the dirty waste water out.

It passed by the earth dog. The walking posture is unusually strange, always stepping out of the left foot first, then waiting for the heel of the other foot, and then stepping out of the left heel and the right foot, never more than another step, repeating and repeating.

When the earth dog saw this thing clearly, it let out another roar, and inadvertently saw its hair stand on end, entering a kind of total vigilance. The animal's intuition is sensitive, and when it senses danger from the outside world, it will adopt an instinctive defensive posture of protection. It started shouting at it and running around in place.

It stopped abruptly and turned its head to the earth dog and squealed. A lump protruded from its round body, as if it was about to pass through the thick surface, but then disappeared again.

"I'm not in the mood to see blood today!"

It's not a monster, it's a person. A man you can't see, a man wrapped in a rubber raincoat. The man left behind the already mournful earth dog and continued his strange trajectory towards the darkness. And this is the earth dog, but it is crazy to run out of the entrance. …,

"Animals are far more alert than humans." The man pouted and smiled as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

The bridge is located at a railway crossing in the city and the suburbs, which is basically abandoned, and occasionally trains pass through, and it is also a special train used to transport materials between yards.

Because of the rainy day, the top of the bridge cave can not be seen thoroughly, and the entrance of the bridge can vaguely guess from a few large paint characters that this place was once a farmer's market, and you can also imagine the liveliness at that time, and now in addition to the darkness or darkness, the musty smell of damp and slippery greasy walls on the moss, a foot of a foot may step on the shit or pothole, fall can not kill, but how much will make you hang a dot.

The man seemed to know the place well, avoiding the obvious pools and not falling into the traps of nature because of the darkness. The earth dog ran in again with its wet body, and this time it stopped barking and silently followed the man. The meat pad stepped on the ground and made a very soft 'clang' sound. The man in front of him snorted, and he walked more slowly.

A man and a dog form a very strange scene in such a bridge hole, stop and go. The horror of silence made the darkness seem much quieter.

Finally, after a period of darkness, there was a faint light in the distance, it was an old-fashioned chandelier, a round bulb with an iron shell similar to a fisherman's hat, but it didn't matter, it was fortunate to have a little light in such a dark place where you couldn't see your fingers.

"It's here!" The man was talking to himself, and his face was darker than the slightest expression of happiness at the light. He shook and shook the water from his raincoat to the ground, and the earth dog behind him was hit by the disaster because he didn't dodge it in time, but it still didn't dare to say anything, and lowered its head aggrievedly.

Hands groping along the wall, he searched.

By the faint light ahead, he looked very carefully, not even the screws that had been inexplicably nailed to the wall, but despite this, he did not seem to find what he had imagined, and let out a sigh of frustration.

"Is it wrong?"

Talking to himself, he continued without giving up. The walls of the bridge were wide and long, and the earth dog stared at the man with its round eyes, its dark brown pupils refracting golden light in the light.

The fingers were as thick as his, the joints were large, and they were not a good pair of hands, and the earth dog tilted his head, then took two steps back, hiding in the other corner.
