"This is a criminal case, didn't you report it?" Xu Tian asked.

"Report it, of course report it! We also have a town police station on this island, but that case has not been solved until now. Lao Li said.

"What does this have to do with the dog factory?" Xu Tian continued to ask.

"Not long after that incident, about three and a half months later! It's the season. One day the whole village had the same dream, no, to be precise, it should be the adults of the whole village, and there was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child who also had the same dream. Lao Li said.

"Dreams? Is that woman dreaming of you? Teacher Jin asked.

"Yes! We dreamed that the woman was transformed into the giant dog on the surface of the sea, and she was incarnated with a broken leg in her mouth, and in front of her there were three missing women, the giant dog chewed the broken leg in its mouth, and one paw was pulling three ropes, and the ropes were wrapped around the necks of the three women, as if the three women were used as hunting dogs to open the way, and they all wore collars around their necks. Lao Li said.

"That dream that the whole village had together? Are you sure? Teacher Jin asked.

"I'm sure, if you ask them or not, all the people over the age of forty here have that dream, and there are some people who are thirty-six or seven years old, you just ask them." Lao Li desperately hoped that the people present could testify against him, but none of the people present spoke.

"What about the dog factory?" Xu Tian asked.

"We didn't understand the meaning of the dream, and the villagers talked about it for a week or so. It was a rainy winter day, a small boat was docked in the harbor, and a young man led three earth dogs ashore. Lao Li said.

"Young people? Male or female? Xu Tian asked.

"It's a man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and because the villagers had that strange dream before, everyone was very scared when they saw someone leading three earth dogs ashore." Lao Li said.

"Wait, that young man just landed on the shore and your whole village knows about it? And it's a rainy day, everyone is not at home to take shelter from the rain, is it all in the port? Teacher Jin asked.

"It's not like this, there is a very complete message system before the relocation here, there are villagers on the beach who take turns to stand guard, as long as they find that there are ships that want to dock, the people standing guard on the seaside will immediately ring the gong to notify, and then there is also a person standing guard on the big slope, the person on the big slope will run down the gong along the village road in front of the door after hearing the gong from the seaside, and the villagers will know that there is a boat about to dock when they hear the sound of the gong. Naturally, everyone went out to the port to see what was going on. Lao Li said.

"So that's what happened, go ahead!" Xu Tian said.

"The young man jumped out of the boat and let go of the three earth dogs, and then shouted a few words to the villagers, and he said that he had come to deliver the message, and I still remember the young man's exact words." Lao Li said.

"What is it?" Xu Tian and Teacher Jin asked in unison.

"That's what the young man said." Old Lee paused and said. "I'm the boy of Inugami-sama, your villagers violated the injured Inugami-sama, and the three Inugami-sama promised to release them back, and then your villagers will rebuild the Inugami temple on the island, remember, the incense can't be broken, as long as the incense is broken, the Inugami-sama will be powerful, and then your whole village will die."

"These words have stopped you?" Teacher Jin asked suspiciously.

"I can't help it! The young man was talking about the Tao, and the adults in the village all had the same dream, which made people have to believe it! Lao Li said.

"And then you let the young man go without doing anything?" Xu Tian asked.

"No one dared to stop it, so the villagers had to build the Dog Temple, which is the location of the current dog factory, and all the land of the dog factory was the Dog Temple." Lao Li said.

"So, you later demolished the Dog Temple?" Xu Tian asked.

"It was about 2003, and it was just about half a month into winter, and that year was a year of frequent disasters, when there were suddenly no fish and shrimp in the nearby seas, and no seafood could be fished. Later, a family secretly killed a dog, the villagers were frightened, after the incident that happened in 97 years, the villagers did not dare to touch the dog at all, the family killed a dog and stewed it, at that time everyone was frightened, thinking that the dog god was going to be angry, but who knows, that time the dog god actually sent out mercy to the villagers. Lao Li said.

"How did the dog god inform the villagers? It can't be another dream, right? Xu Tian asked.

"It wasn't a dream, it was the same season, and it was a day when it was raining in winter, and the young man came ashore again, and he shouted to the villagers, telling them to go back to their old business, build a dog factory on the site of the Inujin Temple, and exchange the cooking methods of dog meat handed down by their ancestors for hundreds of years, saying that the injuries of the Inugami had been healed, and the resentment of the Inugami towards the villagers had been eliminated. The young man also told everyone not to be afraid of Inugami-sama, and that the incident in '97 had done no harm to Inugami-sama, and he said that Inugami-sama was a kind fairy, and as long as the villagers did not do evil, Inugami-sama was willing to sacrifice his children to help the villagers get through the difficulties when they were in distress. In this way, the dog temple was torn down and a dog factory was built in our village. Lao Li said.

"There's no logic, and it doesn't make sense." Teacher Jin said.

"There are a lot of suspicions, have you heard from the three missing women so far?" Xu Tian asked.

Lao Li shook his head.

"And where are the three earth dogs that the young man let go of when he first landed on the island? Is that really three? Xu Tian asked.

"It was indeed a female dog, and the families of the three women each took one back, and then they all died while they were raised." Lao Li said.

"What about the village chief at that time?" Xu Tian asked.

"It's been five years since I died." Lao Li said.

"Alright! So why do villagers now have a dog in every household? Is it to pay homage to Inugami? Xu Tian asked.

"It's not like that, because later there was a notice of relocation, and no one operated the dog factory, and everyone wanted to take a lot of money to move to live inland, but who knew that the developer gave too little money, no, there are many people who haven't moved out yet." Lao Li said.

Xu Tian and Teacher Jin looked at each other, and at the same time showed a hint of a smile, they had almost touched the doorway inside.
