Chapter 18: The Inugami Appears
When Xu Tian and Teacher Jin rushed to the gate of the bolt's house, the courtyard door was locked, and the curtains were still drawn in the bolt's home.
"Strange! It's just past noon, are you all taking a nap? Xu Tian said suspiciously.
"It's not like this for a nap, are the doors and windows closed? And according to the customs of the countryside, it is a very shameful act to draw the curtains like this during the day. Teacher Jin said.
Xu Tian shook the door and shouted inside. "Plugs?"
There seemed to be someone in the plug's house, because Xu Tian and Teacher Jin both saw the curtain inside move, and then a shadow left the window, as if returning to the bed.
"It looks like the bolt is inside, and he looks at us and goes back to bed." Teacher Jin said.
"It's so strange, is it that everyone in the village is sleeping? Could it be ......" Xu Tian suddenly realized.
"Maybe the villagers here have different schedules than we do, and now it may be for the villagers to spend the sleep time they should do at night." Teacher Jin said.
"It's so weird, no, we have to see the plug as soon as possible." As Xu Tian spoke, he climbed the courtyard gate and jumped into the courtyard of the bolt's house sensitively.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Jin also jumped in, and the two of them knocked on the door of the bolt together, and after three minutes of persistence, the bolt finally opened the door.
"What are you doing? Why are you keeping an eye on me? "Bolt was wearing a dirty nightgown that looked like it hadn't been washed for three or two months, and a dusty coat that looked like he wore for farm work.
"Can we go in?" Xu Tian said with a straight face.
The timid bolt had no choice but to make concessions, opened the door and let Xu Tian and Teacher Jin into the room.
"Are all the people in the village sleeping?" Xu Tian asked.
"Yes! Now is the time to rest, and you'd better not wander outside, the streets are not clean during the day. The bolt said secretly.
"Not clean? Are you referring to the fact that the village can be haunted during the day? Teacher Jin stood in front of the window and said.
"It's not a ghost, it's a dog god! You can't go out during the day, to be precise, you can't go out from 11 noon to 8 p.m. The bolt beckoned Mr. Jin to sit on the bed where he slept.
"There is a dog god during the day? Are you afraid of the dog god? The dog god should be the god you offer, right? Isn't Inugami a kind deity? Teacher Jin didn't move, still standing in front of the window.
"Come and talk! The window is not safe. The bolt beckoned to Mr. Jin and said.
"It's not safe in the house?" Teacher Jin said suspiciously.
"The dog god can kill people through the glass, and the previous village chiefs all died like this." Bolt said with a look of horror.
Xu Tian and Teacher Jin looked at each other, and both of them felt that this information was very important, because Lao Hei died like this, and Lao Hei's death scene looked like the bolt said, and he was killed by the dog god through the glass of the door.
"Has anyone ever seen the dog god? Or did you just hear rumors that Inugami haunts during the day? Xu Tian asked.
"I've seen it, of course I've seen it, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen to sleep at home during the day, and now it's basically a curfew that starts at 10 a.m. and can't go out until 8 o'clock at night, because it's easy to die outside when you go out during the day." Bolt said.
"It's too, it stands to reason that it's easy to have an accident when you go out at night, and it's the first time I've heard that going out during the day will be dangerous, and the danger is the so-called dog god who can't be seen or touched, it's too." Xu Tian said.
"Don't believe it, I've seen the dog god several times at home!" Bolt said.
"How did you see that? Inujin came to your house? Teacher Jin asked.
"That's not true, if the dog god came to my house, then I wouldn't be alive now." Bolt said.
"Where the hell did you see the dog god?" Teacher Jin asked again.
"Right at home, Inugami often haunts the streets, even during the day, and sometimes in the evening, so we set a safe time after eight o'clock in the evening." Bolt said.
"And when was the last time you saw Inugami?" Xu Tian asked.
"It was several years ago, the day the old village chief died." Bolt said.
"And before that? How many times have you seen the dog god? Teacher Jin asked.
"It was very frequent before, almost every ten days and half a month, and it was not always after the rain, sometimes it came just after the rain, and sometimes it would come the next day after the rain, but only during the day, and the dog god would never appear after dark at night." Bolt said.
"Then why are you so afraid of the dog god? Is it because the footprints of the dog god appeared at the death site of the previous village chiefs? Xu Tian asked.
"Yes, the village chiefs were all killed by the dog god, I know you outsiders may not believe it, but I have really seen the dog god." Bolt said.
Buzzing......
While he was talking, Xu Tian's mobile phone suddenly rang, and the sudden ringtone startled Xu Tian and Teacher Jin.
"Is the signal restored?" Xu Tian took out his mobile phone and said in surprise.
Looking at the number, it turned out to be Xiao Ai's call, and Xu Tian connected Xiao Ai's phone without thinking about it.
"Hello? Xu Tian? Where are you and Mr. Jin? Hurry up, you hurry up and look into the street, and the dog god is running into the village. Yang Qi on the other side of the phone said.
Xu Tian opened the curtains in the bolt's house, and at this time, a huge white furry thing moved from the direction of the seaside, but Xu Tian felt that this thing was not running as Yang Qi said, Xu Tian felt that this thing seemed to be squirming.
"What is this?" Teacher Jin stared at the big guy on the street and said.
"Inu...... Inugami...... It's a dog god! The bolt was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank onto the bed.
At this moment, the thing on the street that was pointed out as the dog god by the bolt suddenly turned its head to look at the window of the bolt's house, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin couldn't believe it, it was really a dog's face, and it was very similar to the dog god described by everyone, and it was also very similar to the dog god who was running on the sea photographed by Xiao Ai and Yang Qi.
However, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin felt that the body of this dog god seemed to have changed a lot, and it was not as huge as it appeared on the sea.
The dog god outside seemed to be very angry, and Mr. Jin immediately clicked on the camera function to shoot, and before the two could move to the door, the dog god on the street quickly raised his legs and ran towards the interior of the village like a rabbit.
"You stay here, I'll chase you." Teacher Jin said.
Xu Tian understood what Mr. Jin meant, and this time he would definitely not fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
