I also wiped the water on my body indiscriminately, this posture is more indecent, I know, and then I walked over with Hu Zongren. There are not as many workers around us as there were when we first came out of Mr. Zhang's office, but there are quite a few people, including the young worker who took us to the staircase where the accident occurred. Probably everyone saw that we were dirty, and Hu Zongren still had scars on his neck, as if they had guessed something, so they kept whispering.

Hu Zongren asked everyone, did you have a dog on the construction site before? After everyone discussed for a while, someone finally stood up and said in a puzzled tone that the construction had not started at the earliest, but when the building materials were being prepared, there was indeed a dog on the construction site, but that was a long time ago. So I suddenly thought that when I was in Mr. Zhang's office before, he had mentioned that someone had raised dogs to watch the door a long time ago, but it had always been kept at the entrance and exit of the gate. Hu Zongren hurriedly asked the worker, is the dog dead or lost?

The worker said he was dead. Hu Zongren asked again how he died, and the worker glanced at the workers around him and said that he was killed because he had bitten someone. Hu Zongren thought about it and asked, what about before he died, who was responsible for feeding these? At this time, another short, dark-skinned man who looked to be in his forties raised his hand and said, most of the workers had not yet entered the site, there was not much to do on the construction site, and I was in charge of registering the trucks at the gate that were pulling goods in and out, and I was also feeding the dogs. I interjected and asked him, "How did the dog come about, did you pick it up?" The worker shook his head and said no, it was Mr. Zhang's driver who brought it, and you have to ask him about the specific things. However, this dog was quite well-behaved when he was a child at first, because he was a dirt dog, and he was more good at guarding the door.

Dirt dogs? Are you saying the kind with a black nose and yellow hair? Hu Zongren asked. The worker said yes, it's just an ordinary dirt dog. Hu Zongren glanced at me, and I also felt puzzled, it stands to reason that the size of the earth dog will be relatively small, far less big than the one we met just now, and the most important thing is that the one we met just now is a big black dog! When the worker heard Hu Zongren ask, he smiled and said, "You two young people don't think that the big black dog is the little yellow dog that we raised at the gate of the construction site, you are really a bit of nonsense." After saying that, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, and even the other workers around him laughed too.

I thought about it carefully, in fact, it is not impossible to do this, because the ghost itself has the ability to amplify its own ability, and the dog is no exception, combined with some previous signs, plus I only found the trace of the ghost at the scene, and there happened to be a dog who had died before on the construction site, the point is that the dog was killed, so this can be regarded as increasing the possibility of the appearance of the dog ghost. It's just a matter of color and size, and it's possible to do that as a dead soul. When I thought of this, I pulled Hu Zongren's sleeve and said, it seems that if we want to figure it out, we have to at least ask the driver.

Hu Zongren nodded and said, then let's do it, I still have the call record when he came to pick us up just now on the phone, so ask him. Actually, I'm quite pleased, they all say that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Hu Zongren and I have been working together for so long, and we are changing each other. He also made me understand that there must be cause and effect in everything, and instead of forcibly changing the result, it is better to find the root cause, and give both the living and the dead a joint explanation and a proper attitude. Blindly relying on brute force is always only a symptom rather than a root cause, Hu Zongren has gone his own way from the beginning, fighting at every turn, and now he can calm down and find the root cause, which is indeed very gratifying to me.

Hu Zongren took out the phone and called the driver, while making a call, he walked with me in the direction outside the crowd, and soon Hu Zongren hung up the phone and said, the driver is now on the other side of the gate, in the driver's lounge, let's go and find him. So Hu Zongren and I walked towards the door together, and after inquiring about the specific location of the driver's lounge at the gate, we knocked on the door and entered. In addition to the driver who picked us up before, there were two other people in the lounge, and when he saw us coming in, the driver broke up the other two and said that they would talk about something alone. When the two men got out, he told us with a smile that they were truck drivers. It seems that the person who drives the car for the boss is the one who can call the truck. After closing the door, Hu Zongren asked him directly, there was a guard dog on this construction site before, I heard the workers say that you brought it at the beginning, can you tell me about the situation of this dog?

The driver paused for a moment, apparently he didn't expect us to come to him to cooperate with the investigation. Seeing that he didn't know where to open his mouth, I said to him, you Mr. Zhang said, we can ask all the people who know the situation of Lu Dao about this matter, as long as we can investigate the matter clearly, although we are not sure that what you said will be useful, but since you have asked, let's talk about it. The driver said that the dog was indeed brought by himself, and the reason was this, because they did not have a dog at home, and the dog he picked up one day when he attended an elder's birthday banquet in a community on Lianglu.

The driver said that because the locals like to set up a dam banquet for this kind of birthday banquet, that is, everyone comes to congratulate together, so after he finished eating, he saw a puppy squatting nearby, and he used the remaining bones and meat to tease the puppy for a while, and after teasing it several times, the puppy followed him by himself. The driver smiled and said that after leaving the seat, I was going to drive home, and the puppy followed me all the time, and it followed me wherever I went, and it seemed to be a milk dog of about two months, only the size of two palms. I looked cute and thought to myself that among so many people who participated in the feast, I only gave it a bite of meat to eat, and it followed by itself, which can be regarded as fate, so I took the dog home. After taking it home and raising it for about half a year, his wife's uncle gave him a Chihuahua dog, a soil dog, and a Chihuahua, and the two dogs wanted to compete for favor at home, and the Chihuahua couldn't beat the earth dog, so his wife discussed with him and planned to eliminate one. The driver said that at this time, the construction site of the unit was about to start, and he thought that he had no place to send it, so he couldn't abandon the dog like this, and he was very emotional after raising it for so long, so he brought the construction site and asked it to help guard the materials.

The driver said that at first they also gave the dog a name, Tuan Tuan. In the meaning of Chongqing dialect, Tuan Tuan probably means round and chubby. The driver continued, after bringing to the construction site, because it looks ugly, so everyone doesn't like the dog very much, until one night, I heard that Tuan Tuan successfully stopped a theft on the construction site, when the thief was alerted by several of our workers because of the barking of the dog, and then caught a look, that is, because that day, Tuan Tuan tasted the taste of biting for the first time.

Originally, everyone also regarded Tuan Tuan as a little hero of meritorious service, but after a long time, Tuan Tuan bit people because he caught thieves before, and then he would bite people from time to time, sometimes because someone teased it when it was eating, sometimes because it was bullied by other workers, and it would also bite, but it didn't bite very badly, but everyone didn't like it a little. Hu Zongren asked the driver, what exactly did he do to be killed later? The driver said that it was because of the bite that he had bitten the leg of one of our workers at the time, and the worker grabbed the dog and tied it up, telling the other workers that the dog had bitten himself and that he was afraid that it would become a mad dog, so the worker took the lead in beating him to death that day. The driver was a little gloomy when he said this, and I understood his feelings, after all, he was a dog that he raised. He said that Mr. Zhang and I would come to the construction site from time to time, so I thought that I could see it often when I was here, but when I came that day, I didn't see the dog, and I inquired later to find out that Lu Dao was beaten to death the first night.

Hu Zongren thought about it and asked, is the worker who killed the dog still here? The driver shook his head and said, it was still some time ago, and this will have been fired, the one who was injured by stealing something. With that, the driver stopped, then looked at the two of us repeatedly. And Hu Zongren and I seemed to understand something, so Hu Zongren stood up, patted the driver's shoulder and said, it seems that the person who is making trouble at the construction site is your family's Tuan Tuan, it's wrong, they have been dead for so long, and they still remember that their duty is to prevent theft. After speaking, Hu Zongren pulled open his collar and pointed to the wound on his neck and said.

The driver said in a trance, you mean, Tuan Tuan died but became a ghost, right? I corrected him and said that it was not a ghost, but because it was killed, even a dog would have a grudge. When you had a new puppy at home and eliminated Tuan Tuan, did it resent you? Do you shake your head and tail every time you come? It's been so long since it died, and I haven't seen any revenge on those who killed it in the first place, otherwise your worker would have had an accident long ago, so why wait until he stole something to be bitten? After I finished speaking, Hu Zongren emphasized in a very affirmative tone that yes, even if it is a dog, it is you people who have failed it, even if it dies, it is still helping you to guard the construction site, you living people, can you do it?

Hu Zongren has always been more fond of animals, and he is the only guy I have ever seen who can name the rats in his kitchen, and the name is huge. I once went to their house with Sister Cai for dinner, and when I went to the kitchen with him to serve soup, I heard Hu Zongren look at the messy things on their cupboard in a childlike tone and said seriously, Xiaohui, you are not well-behaved, you steal things to eat... At that time, I was like five thunderbolts, and I really wanted to pretend that I didn't know him. So when he said this, he couldn't help but be a little emotional. Originally, Hu Zongren and I had no position to teach anyone, but the driver also lowered his head, sighed and said, can I do something now?

I looked at Hu Zongren, and then said to the driver, what does Tuan Tuan like to eat the most? The driver said that he liked to eat the leftover ribs that I gnawed, and when I teased him at the birthday party, I gave it the bones. I looked at the time, and it was almost time for dinner, so I said to him, then let's eat ribs tonight.

Hu Zongren asked the driver to report to Mr. Zhang, saying that he would cooperate with me to deal with some things, so that Mr. Zhang could drive home by himself. Maybe Hu Zongren and I were more unkind to Mr. Zhang before, so he also knew that it would not be good for him to make things difficult for us at the moment, so he agreed. At 7 o'clock that night, we had dinner at a home-cooked restaurant not very far from the construction site, and ordered a special pork rib soup, I told the driver, you don't have to deliberately leave any meat, just a little bone, just a mind.

It gets dark early in Chongqing this season, and by 8 o'clock, it's completely dark. So the three of us returned to the construction site with a plastic bag containing the leftover bones. I asked the security guard at the gate to borrow a few flashlights, because we knew that there was no electric light at the entrance of the corridor on the other side of the road. Although many of the workers have not slept yet, there are far fewer people outdoors at the moment. We flashed our flashlights and walked towards the building where the accident occurred, and on the way I asked the driver, are you afraid. He said he was afraid. I said don't worry, Tuan Tuan won't hurt you, with the two of us.

In fact, when I said this, I was weak-hearted, I don't know the world of dogs, especially the world of dead dogs. When I walked to the entrance of the stairs, I was still holding a compass in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and the three of us began to walk slowly inside. The compass began to react, from the point of view of the reaction, it was a little different from the first time when Hu Zongren and I came in alone, our reaction on the compass was vigilance and warning, but at the moment it became very excited and excited, which further confirmed my and Hu Zongren's original guess, this big black dog here is actually Tuan Tuan.

I motioned for the driver to start shouting as we had agreed at dinner. So he stood in the middle of the corridor and shouted, "Tuan Tuan, come on, come and eat, ho-ho-ho." "Woo ho ho" is generally the lip sound we call the dog, after shouting a few times, the reaction is a little bigger, in addition to excitement, there is also a little fear, what are you afraid of? Maybe I was afraid of being lost by this driver again. The driver said, Tuan Tuan, where are you, here are your favorite meat and bones.

At this time, in the dark and cramped environment, I heard a "whine" sound in my ears with the echo of the corridor, which was the slight sound made by the dog with its mouth closed and its nose, usually this sound is coquettish. Then Hu Zongren touched me, and then pouted behind the driver. I looked in the direction and behind the driver stood a large dog surrounded by black mist. As a precaution, I still hurried to put the compass away, and then found the red rope, and the light pillar of the flashlight always illuminated the black shadow.

The driver turned around, he looked scared, but he still pretended to be calm and spread out the meat and bones in the plastic bag, and said with a slight trembling, this is your favorite food, you can eat it quickly. The black shadow stood still, the whining sound still ringing in its ears, its eyes still green, but without the same ferocity as before. Then, the big black dog lay down on the ground, and the black mist on his body began to dissipate, and when the black fog dissipated, I saw the little milk dog that had been two or three months old, with yellow fur and a fleshy body, and a stupid appearance, lying there motionless, with his ears drooping, as if waiting for someone to caress him.

I don't know if it's my delusion, but I felt the driver's shoulders twitch a little at that time, and I couldn't even tell if he was scared or crying. I only saw him reach out and touch the little earth dog, but his hand passed through, and everything went back to the beginning when they were together, but they were separated in two worlds.

I put away the red rope and took out the compass again, the agility on the compass was slight, gentle, and there was no anger at all, maybe the world of animals was originally so simple, and the complicated ones were just ourselves. Seeing that it was quiet, Hu Zongren said that you should lead the way, and after speaking, he walked out of the corridor. I tentatively made a loop around the little earth dog, and then sent Tuan Tuan away. When Tuan Tuan gradually disappeared in front of the driver's eyes, no longer able to see a trace, and the compass began to be quiet, I picked up the driver who was squatting on the ground, and then walked out of the corridor with him.

Hu Zongren had already smoked a cigarette at the entrance of the building, and of course, the cigarette was mine. When the three of us walked back, the driver walked alone in front, and Hu Zongren and I walked behind, his back looking a little heavy, except for the hairstyle and the joy of Commander Kim Jong-un. Hu Zongren is more stupid, he asked me what kind of driver is a little swollen in his eyes, doesn't Hu Zongren know that it is very difficult to widen his eyes in a dark environment? After walking to the gate, the driver called Mr. Zhang and said that the matter had been completed. After hanging up the phone, the driver asked Hu Zongren for a bank account number, said that the commission would be paid to his bank card within three working days, and gave us 200 yuan in cash at the moment, asking us to go out on the road and take a taxi home.

Because of the previous injury, even though it was caused by ghosts, I was still a little worried. So Hu Zongren and I went to the 24-hour emergency room at the entrance of the epidemic prevention station to get a rabies vaccine, and then we took a taxi home together. On the way, Hu Zongren asked me, do you hate dogs? I said no, I actually like dogs. He said what is that, I've never seen you have a dog? I smiled and said, don't you talk about me, don't you also have a dog? Hu Zongren said that I was too lazy to take care of it because of my poor patience.

After thinking about it, I told Hu Zongren that I was because I couldn't bear their eyes when they parted.
