Chapter 6: The Vicious Dog (II)
"Brother Ermao, get out of the way!" I screamed in fright, I didn't have time to say anything, and immediately flew up and kicked the two mao away, at this moment, but I saw the crazy big yellow dog fiercely pounced on the sacrifice, opened his mouth to eat the sacrifice prepared in advance, and ate it into his mouth in three or two, not far away the two mao rolled over and climbed up in panic, and he was also dumbfounded when he saw the big yellow dog in front of me.
As soon as I made a move, I only heard a whining sound from the mouth of the big yellow dog, and it seemed that I didn't want to come forward to disturb it and destroy the worship ceremony, but I couldn't be angry when such a mad dog ran out for some reason, it actually disrupted my plans for tonight, and the sacrifice was eaten clean by it, I'm afraid the ghost won't appear!
Gritting my teeth in a huff, I slowly retreated, then reached out and grabbed a stone from the ground and smashed it hard at the vicious dog. The vicious dog seemed to react quickly, suddenly dodged away, and then pounced on me, and grinned with a fierce appearance, especially its blood-red eyes, which made me feel like I had seen it in a trance. By the way, when Master and I entered the village earlier, we seemed to see these blood-red eyes outside the village.
But strangely, instead of pounced on me, the vicious dog turned around and ran in the direction of the village. At this moment, Ermao in the distance shouted loudly: "Ergou, I recognize this big yellow dog, it is from our Niuwa Village, it, how could it run over and make trouble?" ”
Looking at the figure of the big yellow dog far away, I also spread my hands helplessly and said, "How do I know?" It's just that there is something unusual about this big yellow dog, and its eyes are ...... By the way, Brother Ermao, whose dog is this? If we don't go over and have a look, I always feel that this dog didn't break in by accident, but more like he came to make trouble! ”
Ermao turned his head and glanced at the messy sacrifices, and all the incense and candles were knocked to the ground by the vicious big yellow dog, and the sacrifices were also eaten up by the big yellow dog. Er Mao said with a bitter face: "But these sacrifices ......"
"Alas! Don't worry about it, the worship is like this, the goblin doesn't look like it's coming, let's go after that vicious dog! I sighed softly and turned to stare in the direction where the vicious dog had disappeared.
Er Mao thought for a while, then nodded heavily, and said: "I recognize that big yellow dog, it is a dog raised by Widow Liu at the head of the village, but it used to be very tame, how could it suddenly become so vicious?" The scene just now is really a little scary, the big yellow dog seems to have turned into the appearance of a fierce beast, if it wasn't for the second dog you kicked me away in time, maybe I would have been bitten by it! ”
Saying that, Er Mao took me and walked back to the village, but I heard him say that the vicious dog was originally a dog raised by a widow in the village, and I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart......
But since I have made up my mind, I can't wipe my face, and Ermao's expression seems to be a little embarrassed, but after all, I still didn't say it, so we entered the village and walked all the way to the head of the village. But in front of a house, Er Mao stopped, pointed to the house and said: "Er Dog, that family is Widow Liu's yard, and the big yellow dog is her family, but she died of her husband at an early age, and she has no children or daughters, so she is at home alone, and we went in in the middle of the night just for a dog, it seems that there is something ......."
"It's not good." I also smacked my lips, but the vicious dog still filled my heart with doubts, since it lived here, why did it suddenly run to the foot of the back mountain to make trouble? And it ruined our worship, so he ran back directly, this vicious dog, is it intentional or unintentional? After thinking about it, I took a look around, and whispered to Ermao: "Brother Ermao, now that there is no one, why don't we take a sneak peek into the yard?" It's just for the evil dog, and nothing else! ”
Er Mao suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Even if it's for something else, it can't work...... Words are terrible......"
"I'll you! Don't say it, the more you talk about it, the more you feel like we're thieves! I glared at Ermao angrily, and then quietly came to Widow Liu's courtyard wall, and glanced at the courtyard, to say that this courtyard is also an ordinary courtyard, the courtyard wall is also very low, you can see everything inside by holding the wall, the house is a row of three, there is no separate stove house, but I want to come to Widow Liu alone, it is useless to ask for so many houses.
On the west side against the courtyard wall is a well, and on the east side, I frowned suddenly, only to see that the east side against the courtyard wall, there is a big willow tree, and the appearance of this willow tree is also very strange, three feet from the ground, it is hunched over, the trunk is very thick, but it does not grow up, but hovers in the yard. As soon as I saw this, I immediately waved my hand to Ermao in shock, and whispered: "Brother Ermao, take a look!" That vicious dog is lying on top of the old willow tree! ”
Cats climb trees, dogs love nests, this is a rural saying, that is to say, climbing trees is something that cats like to do, while dogs prefer to love the nest at home, and will not climb high or low at all, let alone climb trees. But then again, the trunk of this old willow tree is coiled only three feet above the ground, and it is indeed good to make a nest on the trunk, and it does not violate the normal nesting of cats and dogs. It's just that I'm still a little strange that a dog comes back from outside, and instead of hiding in the house or under the eaves, he just lies on the trunk of a tree to rest, which is a bit rare!
Er Mao also stared at the big yellow dog lying on the trunk of the tree in surprise, and said blankly: "I haven't heard of anyone's dog going to a tree, this is really a bit strange." However, why didn't the big yellow dog bark twice when we all went outside the courtyard wall in the middle of the night? Dare it not be a gatekeeper?! ”
Hearing Ermao's words, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Haven't you heard that dogs that bite people don't bark, but dogs that don't bite people will bark." This vicious dog looks very quiet, but it is crazy and vicious, like a hungry wolf, not to be underestimated, let's not provoke it for the time being, wait for us to go back and inquire about what is abnormal in this dog of Widow Liu's family recently, and then make a decision! ”
"Huh? Still want to ask? Ermao looked at me in disbelief, and then said, "Isn't it just a dog, it didn't bite us anyway, and we can't compete with it, don't we still have something to do?" ”
I nodded and said, "It's true, but hasn't our previous one been mixed up by it?" Do you think it was an accident that stirred up our business? I don't think so, I think it just went to destroy our worship, you see how honest it is now, honest is a little abnormal, such a vicious dog, quiet as a virgin like a rabbit, crazy is everyone is afraid, there must be a problem. Let's go back first! ”
Ermao thought about it noncommittally, but didn't say anything more, and followed me home.
Master and Old Man Wang watched us come back with empty bamboo baskets, and first Master asked with concern, "How is it?" Have you ever met that goblin? Ergou, did the demon refining pot accept the ghost?! ”
I looked at each other, both drooping our heads, and sat down on each side, and I said, "The goblin hasn't gone yet, so he killed a vicious dog halfway and ate all our sacrifices, and then we went after the vicious dog......"
"What? Stirred up by a dog?! Master suddenly glared at me and said angrily, "What are you doing?" If you're afraid of ghosts, it's just that, how can you practice your legs and feet, and you're even afraid of a dog? Why not stop that dog from messing around? I actually watched that the worship was mixed up, and also, I went to chase after you, you are really idle and have nothing to do! ”
Ermao hurriedly said aggrievedly: "Yes, it was Ergou who let me go, I said don't chase it, it was Widow Liu's dog, I also recognized it, but Ergou said that there was a problem with the dog, so I ......"
"Hey! Brother Ermao, you can't sell me, it's the idea of the two of us to chase that vicious dog! "I was afraid of being scolded by the master, so I hurriedly dragged Ermao into the water and shared this matter with me.
Master then said, "What the hell is going on?!" ”
I stood up, lowered my head, and told Master about the past and 1510. After listening to my words, the master was also stunned, he turned to look at the old man Wang, and asked, "What is the reputation of Widow Liu's dog in the village?" Have you always been so crazy on weekdays? ”
Old man Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Speaking of Widow Liu, it stands to reason that you shouldn't speak, most of our villagers in Niuwa Village avoid talking about Widow Liu, just because ...... It's just because her reputation in the village is not very good, but since this matter is related to the worship of our Wang family, I have to talk carefully with Mr. Yang, regardless of Widow Liu's person, just say that the dog she raises is indeed a very docile dog, counting, there are five or six years, I have never heard of biting people, but recently people in the village have talked about Widow Liu's dog, saying that her dog is very strange, often likes to lie on the trunk of the yard to rest, and does not fall in love with other people's dogs, At that time, the people in the village talked about it as a joke together, I never thought that the dog would suddenly go crazy and become so evil, fortunately it didn't hurt the two of them, otherwise I don't care if the little old man is famous or not, I have to find the widow Liu to make it clear, let her tie the dog well, and can't go out to bite people again! ”
As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and most people are very reluctant to talk about the things in front of the widow's door, but this time Widow Liu's dog has become strange, but it is not an ordinary thing. When the master heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "I thought that there were just ghosts and ghosts making trouble in Niuwa Village, why is there an inexplicable vicious dog to stir up the situation now?" It seems that things in Niuwa Village are not as simple as they seem! ”
