Thirteen's cry was high-pitched and high-pitched, a demonstration that a feline would only make when it encountered an enemy. Thirteen's cry and the direction of its gaze both indicate that there is something unfavorable to Zuo Ascending behind the peak.

Just when Zuo Dengfeng was sweating in horror, Thirteen suddenly rushed forward, Zuo Dengfeng hurriedly turned his head, he couldn't distinguish things in the night, he could only see Thirteen rolling and scratching in the snow in front of the grave.

This scene frightened Zuo Dengfeng to the extreme, because he only saw Thirteen, and he didn't see Thirteen fighting with anything.

Zuo Dengfeng was frightened and wanted to turn around and run away, but this thought was quickly restrained by him, Thirteen was obviously protecting himself, and it was too unrighteous to abandon Thirteen to flee by himself.

Just when Zuo Dengfeng hesitated, Thirteen stopped screaming, and at the same time, Zuo Dengfeng felt that the hazy feeling in his mind was swept away, and this feeling was like suddenly taking off the tight hoop on his head, and in an instant, his mind was clear, and the sense of direction that had been lost for a long time also returned.

After clearing his mind, Zuo Dengfeng found that Thirteen was dragging a snow-white animal towards him, and judging from Thirteen's movements, the size of the animal was not small.

Zuo Dengfeng struck a match and found that the animal dragged by Thirteen was a bit like a wolf, but it was smaller than a wolf, its whole body was snow-white, and blood was gurgling outward from its neck.

Although Zuo Dengfeng has never seen this animal, he has heard from the older generation, so he knows this animal, this is a skin, the skin is a mysterious canine, very similar to dogs and wolves, wolves and dogs are about the same size, the skin is slightly smaller than them, the tail is shorter, the dog's tail is cocked, the wolf's tail is dragged, and the skin's tail is hanging, the tail is thick and fluffy, like a broom.

Fur is a very mysterious animal, in different seasons the fur presents different colors, it is said that it will sleep people, that is, to control people's minds, Zuo Dengfeng's cousin was once a child by the skin, was taken to the mountain, the family searched several times and finally found him on a slope in the mountain, he told the family that an old lady brought him here, and gave him noodles to eat, he couldn't climb the hill The old lady was still pushing him behind. Later, his family found the place where the old lady fed him noodles and found a lot of dead earthworms piled up on the tiles. And he was still wearing open crotch pants at that time, and his butt was covered with claw scratches.

"Thirteen, let's go back." Zuo Dengfeng threw away the match that was about to burn out and stood up, although Thirteen had already killed the skin, Zuo Dengfeng still felt very terrifying.

To Zuo Dengfeng's surprise, Thirteen Wenyan did not turn back immediately, but ran towards the grave. Zuo Dengfeng struck the match again, and found that Thirteen jumped on the broken tombstone, sprinkled a soak of urine on the tombstone, and then ran back. As it runs back, the yellow color of its right eye fades and is replaced by the same light blue as its left eye.

"Thanks to you." Zuo Dengfeng touched Thirteen's head.

Hearing this, Thirteen shouted calmly, turned around and ran forward, Zuo Dengfeng picked up the earthen spear and followed it.

The two returned to Qingshuiguan, it was already midnight, the gate of Qingshuiguan was closed, thirteen jumped straight up the courtyard wall and entered the Taoist temple, Zuo Dengfeng stepped forward and knocked on the door, just knocked twice, the door was opened by Wu Xinyu, which shows that she has been standing behind the door.

"Did you encounter something?" Wu Xinyu looked at Zuo Dengfeng with concern.

"It's okay, you're doing a good job, I'll be late when I come back in the future, you just wait at home, don't go out to find me." Zuo Dengfeng handed the rabbit to Wu Xinyu. He was very appreciative of Wu Xinyu's performance, and it was wisest for Wu Xinyu not to go out to look for it, in case he got lost, he would be in trouble. She was right to close the door, which meant she knew how to protect herself. She stood at the door and waited for Zuo Dengfeng to show that she cared about him very much. All of the above not only proves Wu Xinyu's concern for him, but also proves that Wu Xinyu is smart and knows how to protect himself.

"Why did you come back so late?" Entering the house, Wu Xinyu began to serve food from the pot.

"I met a skin, and I fell asleep by it, thanks to Thirteen." Zuo Dengfeng let out a long breath.

"Is Leather a weasel?" Wu Xinyu asked suspiciously.

"It's not." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said. The skin is the skin, the weasel is called the yellow skin, this is the local name of Shandong, and the people of the Northeast call the weasel the yellow skin is also the saying that the Shandong people broke into the east of the country.

"Your illness is cured, don't rush out." Wu Xinyu said softly.

Zuo Dengfeng nodded and agreed when he heard this, people are especially easy to be slept by those animals when they are unlucky or when they are recovering from a serious illness.

Wu Xinyu didn't eat, the two started to eat after a simple conversation, after the meal, Zuo Dengfeng disemboweled, in order to thank Thirteen for his heroic rescue, Zuo Dengfeng not only gave the hare the water to it and gave it half a hare, but compared with rabbit meat, Thirteen is more interested in the hare's internal organs, which is the instinct of the animal.

After eating, the two of them packed up and got on the kang, Wu Xinyu asked about the previous experience again, Zuo Dengfeng did not say in detail, he didn't want to scare Wu Xinyu.

Lying on the kang, Zuo Dengfeng thought about two questions in his mind over and over again, one was why Thirteen's right eye turned yellow tonight, and the other question was why Thirteen peed on the broken tombstone when he left.

Zuo Dengfeng thought about these two questions for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, and finally fell asleep. Because of the previous fright, Zuo Dengfeng did not sleep well, and was awakened by a nightmare in the early morning, Wu Xinyu hugged and comforted when he saw this, soft and slippery made Zuo Dengfeng feel a sudden life, but thinking of his mother's death, Zuo Dengfeng could only contain his **, and it was unfilial piety to have sex during the mourning.

If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short, the winter snow melts, and the spring blooms.

Spring arrived, Zuo Dengfeng began to open up the wasteland and farm, there is no shortage of land in the mountains, Zuo Dengfeng sowed corn on a large scale, the corn seeds were given to him by the villagers outside the mountain, the collar on the neck of the thirteen was sold by the chief of the Bao, each family was divided into more than a dozen oceans, these villagers did not spend [***] after they had money, but bought all the land. They knew that they were able to share the money because of the "Zuo leader", so when they met Zuo Dengfeng in the village and learned that he was going to the market to buy seeds, they dug up corn seeds from their own tanks and gave them to him.

Zuo Dengfeng asked about the situation outside by the way, and the villagers were talking about the rumors and rumors they had heard, and these hearsay had no basis at all, some said that he was about to call, some said that he was driven away, and in short, there was anything to say. In the end, Zuo Dengfeng didn't bother to listen, and he could only be misled if he listened.

The quiet life is quiet and peaceful, farming and labor in the spring to plant rations, fishing and mushroom pickling and drying in the summer, Zuo Dengfeng and Wu Xinyu seem to live in a paradise, after the autumn comes, the two harvest the cultivated corn, the land in the mountains is very fertile, and the corn yield is very high. At this time, few people grew wheat, and corn and sweet potatoes were the staple foods.

After the beginning of spring, Thirteen will not be at home, go out to hunt as soon as it gets dark, and come back to sleep at dawn, after nearly a year of recuperation, Thirteen is completely [***], weighing nearly 100 catties, the flesh is bulging all over the body, and even the cheeks are fat and folded. Even so, Thirteen was as light as a swallow, and the courtyard wall more than two meters high jumped over.

Where there is a satisfactory place, there must be an unsatisfactory place, Wu Xinyu has never shown signs of pregnancy, and Zuo Dengfeng doesn't care about this, it's been a long time, and he is not in a hurry.

Happy life will be broken one day, one afternoon in the autumn day, Zuo Dengfeng and Wu Xinyu were carrying corn out to grind in the house, and there was a knock on the door outside the Taoist temple.

It is common for ordinary people to visit the door, but this Taoist temple is in the deep mountains, and no one usually comes at all, so this knock on the door is very abrupt.

Just when Zuo Dengfeng and Wu Xinyu stopped talking and looked puzzled, there was another knock on the door, followed by a voice of "Is Leader Zuo at home?" ”

"Don't go out, I'll take a look." Left climb the peak and go down to the kang shoes. The sudden visit of the security chief surprised him.

Wu Xinyu nodded in agreement, Zuo Dengfeng opened the door and came out, covering the door casually.

When he opened the door of the Taoist temple, he found that outside the door stood the chief and two people he did not know, both of them were thirty-five or sixteen years old, not tall, one was thin in a coat, and smiling. The other, a slightly chubby one, had a horsewhip in his hand, and looked like he was dressed as a groom.

"Chief Cui, what's the matter?" Zuo Dengfeng did not invite the three of them in.

"Leader Zuo, this is the senior shopkeeper from the provincial capital." Cui Baochang made a speech.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Zuo Dengfeng's courtesy surname nodded at the man in the coat.

"A small courtesy, not a tribute, please Mr. Zuo smile." The shopkeeper raised his hand and gave two packets of big fruits and two bottles of liquor.

"Cui Baochang, what does this mean?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at the shopkeeper Gao suspiciously, and then asked Cui Baochang. These two packets of dim sum wrapped in leather paper are baked by flour and cooking oil, which are high-end gifts at this time, and bottled liquor is even rarer. These gifts seemed too heavy to Zuo Dengfeng, which made him very stunned.

"Leader Zuo, that's the case, the shopkeeper Gao is the one who bought the golden circle in our village, he heard that the golden circle was made from the cat's neck, and he thought it was very interesting, so he wanted to come and see the cat." Cui Baochang explained.

"Oops, oops." After a short period of astonishment, Zuo Dengfeng began to pat his thighs, showing regret and regret.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Cui Baochang looked puzzled.

"That cat died the day after I got it, it's a pity, it's a pity." Zuo Dengfeng deliberately pretended to be covetous, staring at the gift in the hand of the shopkeeper Gao. The reason why he wanted to pretend to have this expression had two purposes, one was that he didn't want everyone to enter the house, as soon as everyone entered the house, they would see Wu Xinyu, and then the terrifying atmosphere of Qingshui Temple would be dissipated, and outsiders might come to disturb the surroundings. The second purpose is not to let everyone see Thirteen, he already knows the origin of Thirteen, this high shopkeeper is likely to feel Thirteen's strangeness through the collar, so he came to see, Zuo Dengfeng didn't believe that he was just looking at it.

As soon as Zuo Dengfeng's words came out, the three people outside the door showed disappointed expressions, and Zuo Dengfeng once again aggravated his salivating face when he saw this, staring at the gift in the hand of the shopkeeper Gao.

"This small gift is for Mr., we have come from afar, and we are very thirsty." Shopkeeper Gao said and handed the gift to Zuo Dengfeng.

Zuo Dengfeng was stunned holding the fruit and liquor, he didn't expect this high shopkeeper to be so powerful, the gift he gave Zuo Dengfeng was fake, and he wanted to use the excuse to ask for water to go in and see if it was true.

"You wait a minute." Zuo Dengfeng returned the gift to the shopkeeper Gao, turned around and closed the door, scooped a scoop of water from the water tank and brought it over.

The shopkeeper Gao took the scoop of water and drank it all, Zuo Dengfeng was puzzled when he saw this, looking at the way he drank the water, he seemed to be really thirsty.

"Thank you, sir, little gift, take it, goodbye." After drinking the water, the shopkeeper Gao handed the water scoop and the gift to Zuo Dengfeng, and turned to leave with the person next to him

"Leader Zuo, is the cat really dead?" After the two turned to leave, Cui Baochang looked in again.

Zuo Dengfeng was just about to say something to answer, but he was shocked by the whispered conversation between the tall shopkeeper who had already walked out of the country and the groom beside him.

"Leader Zuo, what's wrong with you?" Cui Baochang saw that Zuo Dengfeng's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, you go." Zuo Dengfeng angrily stuffed the bag of gifts to the chief of security, and then closed the door.

The reason why Zuo Dengfeng was angry was because the high shopkeeper was not a shopkeeper at all, and the groom was not a groom, after they left, they talked in a whisper, and the two of them each said a word,

'Daisa Fujisaki, what now?' ’

'Surround here!'
