After covering the dummy's body with two layers, Xia Hongyu was no longer worried about the golden retriever biting the dummy's skin.

It's just that with such a cover, Xia Hongyu will pay attention to the things lying on the ground from time to time, and there is always a feeling of seepage in her heart.

The next time she sat in the living room and couldn't concentrate watching TV, her eyes would always be unconsciously aimed at the covered dummy, she simply turned off the TV and went directly to the bedroom on the second floor.

There is also a TV in the bedroom, but Xia Hongyu is no longer in the mood to watch it, so she leaned on the bed and read a book on medical equipment for a while, and then picked up a book of life philosophy essays and flipped through it for a while, then went to the bathroom in the bedroom to wash, and then went back to bed and turned off the light to sleep.

When she first lived alone, because she had just divorced and was still recovering from her injuries, she would put cats and dogs into the bedroom when she slept, so that these two guys could lie on the bed, feeling companionship and solace in her heart.

But later Xia Hongyu found that these two goods really can't be connived at, the big girl will use its sharp cat's claws to cut the bedding if she has nothing to do, and even if she scratches it, sometimes she will get into it and pee out.

And the golden retriever is more honest, at most he will tear the bedding and quilt cover, and he will not leave a mark on the bed, but this guy is too fast to remove his hair, although he often takes a bath, but the yellow hair on that body falls off faster, so that Xia Hongyu will have a few hairs in his mouth from time to time.

Later, she kicked the two out of the house, and closed the bedroom door in advance of her sleep.

It's just that the golden retriever and the big girl are not used to the emperor-level treatment at the beginning, and the golden retriever whimpers non-stop outside the bedroom door every night, and the big girl scratches the door with her paws.

It took Xia Hongyu two weeks to finally put these two guys to sleep in her own home at the bottom of the stairs.

But her bedroom is basically closed, because if she doesn't pay attention to open it one day, the cat and dog will immediately run to the bed that she has been longing for for a long time.

After all, in terms of softness, where is there such a big bed in the cat's kennel and dog's kennel.

When she woke up, Xia Hongyu was woken up by the barking of a dog, she opened her eyes in a daze, remembering that the golden retriever barked several times just now, but because she woke up from her sleep, she couldn't tell whether the golden retriever was barking outside the door or on the first floor.

Xia Hongyu's first reaction was that there was another disturbance between the golden retriever and the big girl, and she definitely wanted to go into the bedroom to sleep, but at the moment she was barking outside the bedroom door.

She sat up from the bed with some annoyance, put on her slippers and walked to the door, because the golden retriever was more than one person tall when she stood up, and she usually used the dog's paw to press down to open the lock, so Xia Hongyu usually locked it up after closing the door.

She turned on the bedroom light, then twisted the latch, opened the door, and looked down.

It was quiet outside, and nothing was seen.

Xia Hongyu poked her head out of the corridor and looked left and right, there was a sensor light in the corridor, as long as someone or an animal passed by, it would automatically turn on, not voice control.

But at this moment, the lights in the hallway only came on after she went out, indicating that they had been turned off before.

Without hearing the sound of the golden retriever running, this guy couldn't have run from the second floor to the first floor in such a moment.

Xia Hongyu came to the corridor, subconsciously walked to the staircase leading to the first floor and stood still, looking down at the spacious living room on the first floor, because there was a light in the corridor, which illuminated part of the living room downstairs at this time, which made her probably see the middle of the living room.

I saw that next to the luxurious coffee table in front of the sofa, there was originally a dummy for anatomy, but at this moment, the quilt covering it had fallen aside, and there was no dummy in sight.

Xia Hongyu was surprised, moved her standing position slightly, looked at the other side of the living room, and found that not far from the quilt, the thin blanket that was originally on the innermost layer of the dummy also fell to the floor at the moment.

Xia Hongyu's first reaction was that the dummy must have been dragged away by the Golden Retriever!

She was shocked, for fear that the golden retriever would bite this expensive dummy, but in fact, the price is not the most critical, the key is that this thing is not sold publicly on the market in the first place, and she finally bought it through a relationship.

If it's damaged, you may never be able to buy a second one.

Thinking of this, Xia Hongyu immediately ran downstairs and turned on the electric light in the living room at the entrance of the stairs downstairs, and the sufficient light instantly made the room bright.

She immediately turned her head to look around, and at the same time shouted, "Maomao, where did you drag the dummy?" Come out! ”

But he didn't see the golden retriever, and he didn't hear the dog barking.

"Maomao!"

Xia Hongyu was angry, and while shouting, she ran to the kennel to take a look, and indeed she didn't see the golden retriever.

As soon as I walked out and looked up, I saw the big girl squatting on the back of the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling window, the cat hair on her whole body exploded slightly, and she was staring at herself intently, without any expression.

Xia Hongyu knows that the big girl is usually a maverick and ignores everyone, so don't expect it to help her.

She immediately went to the door of the living room to take a look, but found nothing, turned around and walked around the kitchen, but still didn't see anything.

Immediately walked towards the small corridor leading to the storage room, the sensor light in the corridor immediately lit up, and at the moment it lit up, Xia Hongyu immediately saw a pair of bare feet at the door of the storage room, and then suddenly moved, and the feet obviously moved a little parallel to the inside.

She was startled and shouted, "Maomao, don't delay!" Relent! Otherwise, I won't give you food! ”

When the words fell, I saw that the feet moved into the storage room again, Xia Hongyu didn't feel angry, walked over quickly, looked down into the dark storage room, and seemed to see the body of the dummy lying on the ground in the dark, but she couldn't see the golden retriever.

She immediately reached for the door and turned on the light in the storage room.

The moment the lights were turned on, Xia Hongyu was slightly stunned, only to see that the dummy was indeed lying on the ground, and the whole person had been completely dragged into the storage room at this time, but there was no golden retriever around the dummy.

I looked up and took a closer look at the scene in the storage room, this storage room is not large, about fifteen square meters, you can see all the corners at a glance, and there is no golden retriever.

Xia Hongyu thought that this guy might have heard her coming, so she hid behind a suitcase, and was about to enter the room to look for it, when there was a sudden sound of rustling at the entrance of the corridor not far behind her.

When I turned my head to look, I saw the golden retriever standing there, his tail wagging slightly, tilting his head and staring at himself.

Xia Hongyu was surprised at first, and just stared at the golden retriever.

Immediately, I saw that this guy suddenly opened his mouth and barked three times, and he didn't come, just wagging his tail there.

At this moment, a thought popped up in Xia Hongyu's mind.

"If the Golden Retriever is at the entrance of the hallway, who dragged the dummy into the storage room just now?!"

She had just witnessed the dummy's body moving inward.

As soon as this idea appeared, Xia Hongyu didn't think much about it, and immediately grabbed the doorknob and slammed the door of the storage room shut, and in a hurry, even the electric lights in the storage room were turned on.

She immediately said to the golden retriever who was still standing at the entrance of the corridor: "Maomao, go...... Go...... Take the keys, coffee table...... in a drawer. ”

The Golden Retriever seemed to understand most of her words, turned and ran to the coffee table, sniffed in front of one of the drawers, and then stretched out his paw and gouged in front of the drawer several times, but could not open it.

"Woo-"

After whimpering a few times, the golden retriever ran back to the entrance of the corridor and shouted at Xia Hongyu twice in a row.

Xia Hongyu realized that it couldn't open the drawer, and she was so anxious that she didn't dare to let go of the doorknob.

She took two deep breaths, forced herself to compose, and pressed her ear to the storage door to listen carefully.

Didn't hear any noise inside, Xia Hongyu immediately bent her legs, made a running posture, quickly let go of the doorknob and rushed to the living room, came to the front of the coffee table and opened the drawer with the keys, took out a string of keys to the door in the house and pinched it in her hand, and quickly turned around and rushed to the storage room.

When I got to the door of the storage room, I first grabbed the doorknob to prevent someone inside from opening the door, and then inserted the key with the storage label into the lock hole, quickly twisted twice in the opposite direction, made two clicks, and finally locked the door.

A series of actions were done in one go, and after doing these, Xia Hongyu came back to her senses with trepidation, felt that her legs were a little weak, and her whole body began to tremble slightly.

At this moment, the golden retriever came over with his tail wagging and sniffed around the door of the storage room with his head down.

Xia Hongyu was about to get her mobile phone to report to the sheriff, but she still leaned on the door and listened for a while, and there was no sound coming out of it as before.

But just now I saw the dummy moving towards the storage room, and at first I thought it was Mao Mao pulling inside, but it turned out that Mao Mao was standing behind him, which made Xia Hongyu suddenly have a creepy feeling.

She now instinctively thought that there might be a thief or someone else hiding in the storage room, somehow why she had dragged the dummy she had just bought inside.

After a little consideration, there is no choice but to report to the sheriff first.

Let the golden retriever guard the door of the storage room, Xia Hongyu quickly ran upstairs, first grabbed her mobile phone, then took out an anti-wolf electric shock device from the bedside table, pressed the switch, and made a crackling electric shock, and then went downstairs.

While going downstairs, I made a phone call.

About ten minutes or so, two male sheriffs arrived.

However, after Xia Hongyu opened the door of the storage room, the sheriff did not find any other people inside, except for the dummy lying there on the ground.

For this dummy, Xia Hongyu made a good explanation, saying that she was in the medical device business, and this dummy was used to show the use of medical devices to customers.

The two magistrates didn't ask too much after checking, and checked the other rooms in Xia Hongyu's house by the way, except for the golden retriever who had been following them all the way, the big girl was still lying on the back of the sofa, quietly staring at everyone's movements, but at this time it didn't blow up again.

After about half an hour, the two sheriffs ruled out the possibility of someone illegally invading the house, replied to the report center, and explained to Xia Hongyu the precautions for living alone, and then left.

After they left, Xia Hongyu still locked the storage room inside with the dummy, and didn't touch it for the time being.

I'm going to wait for the next day when the wooden bed I booked arrives before opening the door.

……

The next day.

Shen Xing chose to close the wood carving shop in advance and returned home with Fei Fei.

After opening the store in the past two days, business has started to boom again, and it has not been affected by the intermittent time he has opened the store.

In addition, he only sold the wall-facing wood carving for 20,000 yuan yesterday, Shen Xing is not the kind of person whose primary goal is to make money, and after having some surplus money in his pocket, he returned to his usual appearance.

Unless I made wood carvings in the store, I forgot the time when I put myself into it for a while, so I took Fei Fei home to cook, and after dinner, the two went out for a walk, and when they came back, they chose to continue to do wood carving, and fell asleep when they got to the point, this is the beautiful life that Shen Xing currently imagines.

But there is another reason why I chose to go home early today, and that is because the gift I bought for Fei Fei, that is, the doll, finally came by mail.

The time of arrival was two days later than Shen Xing expected.

Fei Fei was so happy that she didn't even put down her schoolbag, so she dragged the adult doll that Shen Xing was holding in her hand.

The doll was a little heavy, but Fei Fei could barely hold it, put the doll on the floor of the living room, and brought a small pair of scissors to carefully cut off the outer packaging, for fear of hurting the doll inside.

Seeing her careful appearance, Shen Xing couldn't help but smile, returned to his bedroom, put the finished seed IV wood carving on the workbench, and then went to the bathroom to wash his hands, ready to go to the kitchen to wash and cut the vegetables.

After waiting for a while, I ate and took a walk, and then came back to absorb the characteristics of the people facing the wall to see if I could improve my ability a little more.

But when he just walked out of the bathroom, Shen Xing suddenly saw Fei Fei's face a little ugly.

The little girl's schoolbag had been put down at this time, and she stood there, looking at herself with a sad little look.

"What's going on?" Shen Xing smiled.

Fei Fei took a step to the side, and after letting go, she pointed to the puppet behind her and said, "Didn't you say that she was a beautiful young lady?" How so? ”

Shen Xing looked at it, and the whole person was stunned, only to see that the doll sitting on the ground in front of him was not the one he had purchased before, but a male doll with short black hair and wearing a lilac suit.

The man looked very young, no more than twenty years old, and had a shallow smile on his face.

But this is really not the beautiful girl doll I bought and still wearing ancient costumes - Changge.

Usually a doll will have a tag on its clothes, with the doll's name and some parameters written on it, but the man's doll does not have a tag on his body, and it is not known what his name is.

Shen Xing took a few steps closer, carefully approached the doll, and looked at his facial lines and clothes on his body.

The workmanship of this man's doll is also very fine, and the technique should also come from the master of fine carving named Motu, Shen Xing, as an expert in this area, can distinguish a rough idea at a glance.

It's just that I saw that the other party took the girl doll called Changge into the store room, and I should have gone to pack it, but why is it this man who is receiving it now?

Could it be that the store sent the wrong mail? Or deceive yourself and deliberately use another puppet of a much inferior quality that will produce the uncanny valley effect to deliberately shoddy?

Looking at the boy doll in front of him, the workmanship is also very fine, and the fabric of his suit is not bad, with this quality, Shen Xing intuitively thinks that it is not worse than the girl Changge.

"Maybe the store really sent it by mistake, wait until I ask him."

He comforted Fei Fei and went back to his bedroom to find the business card he had brought home from the doll shop.
