Maybe a dog has the mind of a dog!

The two men and women threw themselves into the river again, washing the sand and grass that had covered their bodies.

"Black Tiger, come down and take a bath too!" Liu Xingmei beckoned to the black tiger on the shore.

The black tiger was invited by its hostess, and it jumped into the river with joy and swam to the two with its head on its back. The dog's creative swimming is a special skill inherited from its ancestors, and Tao Zhenkun has also trained it.

So the two of them frolicked in the water with a dog.

Tao Zhenkun touched its head and washed it and sighed: "Thank you, my friend, you are a meritorious man today!" ”

Liu Xingmei said coquettishly: "You are not ashamed to say this?!" ”

"This is a normal human thing, what is there to be ashamed of."

After bathing the black tiger, when they went ashore, when the two looked at each other's bodies, they both smiled and bent over after a hint of embarrassment. As soon as Liu Xingmei touched her wrist, she let out a "yah".

"What's wrong?"

"The red head rope is gone."

"If it's a dark day, let's go back like this. But don't touch anyone, I'm afraid it will kill you! ”

"What do you mean?"

"When you see it, you don't have to think that a female ghost has entered the village?!"

"You just don't want me to be good!"

I didn't wait for the water stains on my body to dry completely, so I got dressed and walked back. When passing by the big willow tree that was struck by lightning by the river, Tao Zhenkun couldn't help but step forward and touch the side of the bare and dead tree pole, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Liu Xingmei saw that he was suddenly so abnormal, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This used to be a place for my dad to remember and be sad!"

"What's going on?"

"The young grandmother was killed by thunder when she was carrying the rain under this tree, and the second aunt who was carrying the rain together became mute!"

"And this?"

"I've never seen grandpa and grandma!"

"Where's Grandpa? It stands to reason that his age is not too old now, and I heard that he is ——? ”

"Dad said that my grandfather went out to work, but he never came back, it has been more than 20 years, and now I don't know if he is alive or dead!"

"It's unpredictable!" Liu Xingmei took his arm and looked up at the top of the tree, where a crow's nest was hidden among the luxuriant foliage, and it seemed that the crow had gone to the nest and emptied.

That's it.

A man.

A daughter.

A dog.

Walk towards the village.

In the days that followed, the affair about this wild love became a beautiful memory for the two of them countless times.

Back at home, Tao Zhenkun will find that the strange phenomenon of his father's ghost is not mentioned to his mother and wife, not to say whether they believe it or not, but to say that this "haunted" event will cause panic or deepen the longing for deceased relatives.

He didn't believe in demons and monsters before, but after experiencing this strange and strange thing, he began to have doubts.

Is there still a heart-to-heart attachment between humans and ghosts? This made him unknown, but it strengthened his memory of his father!

The next day he got up early and went to the grain field, and saw the corn that had been knocked down by his buttocks, and outside the field he was surprised to see the handful of grass that his father had left behind, scattered there as if to prove that everything was true. This time he squatted there and hugged his head and cried, but the tears could not wash away the erratic back of his father in front of him! He wandered his mind between the two thoughts of whether his father was alive or dead, and when he calmly and firmly carried the pickaxe to face a grave, he lost the courage to open the coffin under the wavering, and a majestic sadness was cruelly and mercilessly devouring his body and mind, and he was haggard in exhaustion!

The demon was born of his heart, and this hallucinatory spirit caused him to fall into a long nightmare, and he was trapped in it and struggled.

Since then, the ghost of his father has never appeared again, and even the father's voice and smile, which used to appear frequently, have never patronized his son's dream again. Everything in the past is like a blank page turned over, leaving no trace of the pen weaving and ploughing.

Day and night, inadvertently and freely were sent away, like flowing water and sand, intending to wash away everything in the past, leaving no trace. However, for everyone, although the past is in the past, the indelible memories are still entangled with the past!

Qiu Lanzhi's condition is as good as people's emotions, in order to take better care of her, after some discussion, Tao Zhenkun decided to move to his mother's house to sleep, which has been a good time. Liu Xingmei also thought, but she was indeed frightened by the fierce appearance of her mother-in-law who wanted to ruin her appearance that day, a young and beautiful woman, who would not care about her appearance, to be able to have this beauty that others can't expect, all thanks to her parents, who doesn't know how to cherish it? Because of the unprecedented scruples in her heart, if her mother-in-law took advantage of her unpreparedness to suddenly make a ruthless move and disfigure her face, it would be an abyss of nightmare for her! In fact, she can also understand some delirious mothers-in-law, who still have the consciousness of "red face and trouble" in their madness, for the sake of her son and for her as a daughter-in-law, and if she disfigures her appearance, she may not cause trouble, it is undeniable that this is a prescient idea to prevent trouble. She herself is unwilling, not to say, is Tao Zhenkun, who is her husband, willing?

It was on the third night of Tao Zhenkun and her mother's company, Liu Xingmei finally couldn't stand the torment of the long night of sleeplessness, there seemed to be an invisible net in the lonely and empty darkness that salvaged everything in her heart, and even suspected that the ghost of her father-in-law was wandering endlessly in the room, some strange words and deeds of her mother-in-law added to the terrifying atmosphere of fear, and then there was the terrible cry of the night owl outside the window like a nightmare shrouded in the light of the past. So, she resolutely picked up the futon and pillow and went to the East House, so that her husband's body was separated from her mother-in-law, as if this distance could also give her a sense of security.

Qiu Lanzhi fell asleep on the kang.

Liu Xingmei was lying on the top of the kang and was nested next to Tao Zhenkun.

Tao Zhenkun was a little surprised by her actions, so he asked in a low voice, "Why did you move here too?" ”

"I'm scared, that pesky night owl is here again!" She hugged Tao Zhenkun as if she had been wronged.

"What are you afraid of in this house and that house?!"

She didn't give a reason, but she felt that sleeping next to her husband would make her heart feel more solid.

Early in the morning of this day, Wu Long, Wu Xiang, Cheng Maoran, Yuan Yongtao, Xie Tianwu, and Yang Zehu rode horses, and Xin Dongfang drove a carriage with only one horse, and the tarpaulin on the car was covered with a full of wine jars and medicinal materials. Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei took out a few skins and asked them to sell them.

Tao Zhenkun watched them go away, and there was a little more gloomy melancholy in his heart!
