Chapter 010: Human Face
I wondered if the big black dog was hiding in the surrounding woods, ready to attack me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
So I almost found the mountain spring in a panic, and then filled two and a half buckets of water in a panic, and then carried it on my shoulders and went back to Uncle Zhang's hotel.
As the saying goes, "It's not hard to see people carrying the burden, but you can break the spine by yourself", although I don't break the spine, but my two shoulders really hurt.
Even more flustered, I stumbled along the way.
Fortunately, the big evil dog did not appear, Meng Xiang saw that I was nervous, and couldn't help laughing at me: "I just said that you are a hero, why are you panicking, what are you afraid of?" ā
"I'm afraid that black dog will suddenly come out of nowhere!" I was embarrassed to explain, "I always feel like it's lying in ambush and staring at me!" ā
"It's weird! Fortunately, there is still half a tank of water in the tank, but I don't know how long it has been placed, so I can only heat it up at night for bathing. Meng Xiang said, pausing slightly, before asking me again, "You say...... Who will raise that big black dog? ā
"If it wasn't raised by Uncle Zhang, then maybe it was raised by a nearby mountain people, right?" I say.
"But after the murder, I came here to investigate, and the nearest mountain family had to walk for two hours. This black dog is so ferocious, how can it be so easily locked in the house? ā
Come to think of it, it's hard to have a clear reasoning.
So I shook my head and asked.
"I'm very curious, it's very difficult to get here from Baokang County, even the motorcycle, how did you transport Chu Feifei and Yuan Wang out?"
"The helicopter was called!" Meng Xiang raised his face, "Do you think that now is still more than ten years ago, and only big cities have helicopter configurations?" ā
"More than ten years ago, it was difficult for even big cities to have helicopters for the police to call, right?" I replied with a smile.
"Yes! It has really developed too fast in the past few years, and it can really be said that it is changing with each passing day! Meng Xiang smiled playfully at me, "Forget it, don't talk about this, let's hurry up and wash the vegetables and cook, I'm almost hungry!" ā
When I went out to fetch water, Meng Xiang had already gone to the back vegetable garden to pick two handfuls of vegetables, and I helped her clean them together, and then made a fire to cook.
It was still an earthen stove for burning firewood, and it took us a long time to make a fire.
Fortunately, when I came last time, Meng Xiang saw Uncle Zhang steaming rice in an iron pot, so she also tried to put water and rice, I added fire to the stove to steam rice, and she began to cut vegetables and meat.
Finally, a meal was ready, and she and I couldn't help but laugh "haha".
A few dishes were fried okay, but the rice had a layer of blackened pots, and the whole pot of rice was stained with a burnt smell.
I remembered the black dog, so I first filled half a bowl of rice, poured some vegetable soup into it, and put a few slices of bacon on it.
Then take it out and put it under the eaves in front of you.
"You're pretty careful!" Meng Xiang laughed at me.
"Dogs are the most humane, I'm kind to them, maybe they won't bite me!" I replied.
Meng Xiang didn't say anything more.
Originally, the rice was not steamed much, and a small half of the pot was wasted, and then half a bowl was served to the dog, leaving Meng Xiang and I only half full.
After that, Meng Xiang boiled a pot of hot water, and first took a wooden basin into room 1 to take a bath.
I went into room 3 to check it out.
The furnishings in the room are the same as those in Room 1, which is a simple wooden shelf bed with mosquito nets and a simple square wooden stool.
The exterior wall also has a window open, but the glass is intact and the latch is attached from the inside.
I found that this Uncle Zhang loves to be clean, although he doesn't often have guests to stay, but the room is neatly tied.
Even the window panes are wiped to a bright light.
After that, I had the courage to go to room 2 - that is, the room where Luo Luo had a strange dream with Li Zi and Yuan Wang and Chu Feifei had a murder.
The furnishings in the room are also similar to those in rooms 1 and 3, except that the windows face due west.
The other wooden bed seems to be slightly different.
The wooden beds in rooms 1 and 3 are boxy wooden shelves with no other accessories or decorations.
The bed in room 2 is much more magnificent, not only has a flat backrest at the head of the bed, but there is even a beautiful relief on the backrest.
I wanted to get closer to see the relief, but I didn't want my phone to squeak and squeak.
The voice was hoarse and ugly, and it wasn't the text message tone I set.
I straightened up and pulled out my phone to check.
The unpleasant "squeak" sound disappeared at this time.
However, I took out my phone and looked at it, but I didn't notice anything unusual.
So I put my phone back in my jacket pocket and bent over the head of the bed again.
That "squeak" sound sounded again.
I straightened my back, and the voice disappeared. As soon as he bent down, the voice immediately rang out.
I felt a little strange, so I simply stayed away from the head of the bed and bent down again.
There was no sound, and the phone sat quietly in my pocket.
I went back to the bed, and this time instead of bending over the head of the bed, I sat directly on the edge of the bed.
The "squeak" sound sounded immediately.
Standing up, the voice disappeared again.
I simply took out my phone and put it straight on the bed.
The phone doesn't seem to have any movement, and the display screen doesn't light up, but the "squeak" sound keeps coming out of the phone.
And this time, it's louder than when it's in my pocket.
I picked up my phone and moved away from the bed, and the sound disappeared.
A strange feeling welled up in my heart, and when I suddenly looked up, I couldn't help but let out an "ah".
I saw a human face on the transparent window.
It was only the moment I looked up, and the face receded.
I immediately leaned closer to the window to look, and it was pitch black outside, and of course there was no one to be seen.
I was furious in my heart, but I opened the door of room No. 2 and went out. Then open the back door of the house and rush to the back of the house to take a closer look.
Bright light was shining on the ground from the windows of Room 2, and at least as far as I could see, there was no one in sight.
I glanced at the dark mountains and forests in the distance, and I didn't dare to go near the mountains and forests to check them anyway.
I didn't even dare to turn around and enter the house, but slowly retreated to the back door while checking the movement around me.
I was already very nervous, but at this moment, I heard a scream of "ah".
It was Meng Xiang's cry.
I immediately forgot my fears, turned and rushed through the back door of the house.
One glance, I almost screamed.
The hall was brightly lit, and I saw Meng Xiang standing at the door of Room 1 with a wooden basin.
Next to her, the two front doors were open left and right, and a huge black dog stood in front of Meng Xiang, staring at Meng Xiang with fierce eyes.
