Chapter 9: Arrival
"I think it's better to steal the black dog from Lao Gao's house next door and slaughter it." Daddy's eyes lit up and he said.
Lao Gao lives behind our room, runs a small shop, and has a lot of sheep at home, early in the morning, those sheep, and his black dog, just bark endlessly, making our whole family get up early, Dad has long been very unhappy, and now there is a chance, of course he will say so.
"That's good when you notice, but who's going to kill you when you get it back?" I scratched my head and said I agreed with him, but I didn't dare kill it.
"As long as you get it back, don't you worry that no one will kill it? Walk. After that, Daddy led us straight home.
Back home, dad specially prepared a few pieces of cooked meat, and then soaked in wine, until the afternoon, their family has a habit, every day at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, will go out to herd sheep, know seven o'clock home, and this time, just when people finish eating, there are basically not many people outside, I and my dad secretly came to Lao Gao's house, opened the door, just entered, I heard the black dog's "Wang" bark.
"Even if you cut your throat, no one will be able to get you this time." Daddy looked at the black dog and smiled, and then threw the cooked meat that had been soaked in wine all afternoon to the black dog.
After the dog picked up the meat, he pounced on it as if he was dying, and in a few bites, he ate a large piece of cooked meat. The effect of the wine didn't seem to have been brought into play, and Daddy ate another piece of it.
This time, as soon as the piece of meat was finished, the black dog began to stagger, and after a while, it fell there and did not move.
"Hurry up, don't let anyone see it." Daddy admonished, and then walked directly to the black dog that had fallen to the ground, took out a sack from behind him, and put the black dog in it at once.
In this way, the two of us secretly sent the black dog to the house of a good friend of my father, and they had already prepared the stove, and after the black dog had cleaned the snow, the rest of the matter was basically thought of.
I came back early, because I didn't like the taste of dog meat, so I didn't stay, knowing that in the evening, my father came back from drinking groggily, and didn't say anything, he just lay on the sofa and fell asleep. I put all the things I had prepared in our storeroom, and then sat alone in the courtyard with the bottle of wine.
I don't know if Professor Li found anything there, and whether the contents of the leather scroll and copper plate have been translated. Anyway, I was worried about so many things that I felt extremely upset.
After drinking a bottle of wine, I was a little upset, and staggered back to my bedroom, falling asleep before I knew it.
For two or three days, we didn't do anything, just waited, waiting for the arrival of Hou Zifeng and Zhang Huanqing. During the period, the three old men came to visit, and when they saw me sitting in the yard leisurely drinking wine and chatting with Zhang Man there, the face of Zhao Mine Chang was almost green, but there were two other people beside him, and it was not easy to get mad, just glared at me a few times, of course, I didn't pay attention to him, just said to them, "I said a month's time, as for when to start, anyway, I won't be more than a month." Several people were helpless for a while, and they didn't have the heart to continue to stay at my house, so they left directly.
In the afternoon, the weather was not bad, my good father and mother, and Zhang Man had nothing to do, so they roasted rabbits in the yard to eat, which was sent by a relative of my mother, and made a fire, just roasted two, and there was a knock on the door outside.
I just wanted to eat, but I heard a knock on the door and had to open the door, which made me a little unhappy, "Who?" ”
There was no speech outside, it was still knocking.
"Don't knock, you're sick!" I swore and walked to the gate, opening it.
The first thing I saw was a face with a cheap smile, "Surprise no!" "Isn't that Hou Zifeng?
"Damn! Why did it take so long to come over. I yelled, then reached out and slapped him.
"I don't need time on the road, I'm saying, it's so far, I'm still hungry, I just smelled a fragrance as soon as I came, alas, it seems that I came at the right time, you get out of the way, I miss your wine." With that, Hou Zifeng pushed me away, and then walked towards the courtyard.
Zhang Huanqing, who was standing next to Hou Zifeng, just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
Mom went back to pack her things, and the five of us sat outside, and I told them about what was going on here.
"Then do you mean that there is no road to the ten realms of Tianxin except for the place where there are strange scorpions that can be entered?" Hou Zifeng looked at me suspiciously and asked.
I nodded, "I can't get in anywhere but there." Unless there's something I don't know. ”
"I don't think so, since what you said about the Ten Paths of the Heavenly Heart has something to do with the collapse of the mine, it means that the mine should have something to do with the Ten Paths of the Heavenly Heart behind it, and maybe there will be an entrance inside." Zhang Huanqing, who was sitting on the side, put forward his own ideas.
"Actually, I thought so, but the mine has collapsed, and the road inside is blocked, so if you want to get in, it's impossible at all." I said helplessly.
"Then there is no way, we can only go in from where you said, if not, let's prepare more ignition oil and burn the stone mountain first." Hou Zifeng proposed.
"Now we can't see what it's like there, we can't tell, tomorrow we'll go straight over, and when we see it, we'll know what to do." Zhang Huan said lightly.
We all agreed with Zhang Huanqing, and after we were full of wine and food, we all went back to the house and prepared to rest.
As soon as I lay down, Hou Zifeng came to my bedroom, and then stared at me with a smile on his face, that kind of look, I was a little hairy, "What are you going to do, brother is a serious person." ”
"Damn! Your mind is full of dirty thoughts, and you're a serious person. I'm here to tell you the good news. Hou Zifeng glanced at me, and then said proudly.
"Good news? What's the good news? Is there any good news for you? I glared at him, and said suspiciously, he usually came to me, except to say that he had found the tomb, that is, to ask me for a drink.
"Your uncle, how do you talk about that. I'm here to tell you that Daddy is going to be a father. Hou Zifeng looked at me proudly and said loudly.
"That's some good news.... What do you say? No way! ”
