Chapter XXVII. dog

In the next waiting time, Hu Zongren suddenly asked Mr. Liu, when he entered the house just now, he saw a photo of the girl, is the golden retriever dog in the photo raised by your family? Mr. Liu said yes, this dog was bought for his daughter when he returned to China, because he just returned to China, he needed to adapt to the domestic environment, and he also needed to gradually become familiar with the model of the family business, and he was very busy with his business on weekdays, and he had little time to accompany his daughter, so he bought a dog as a companion. Hu Zongren frowned and said to Mr. Liu, but if you have a dog at home, it stands to reason that even if it is a haunting, it will be discovered quickly, and it is serious enough to be able to be put on the body, which is indeed very rare.

Mr. Liu probably didn't understand what Hu Zongren was talking about, so Hu Zongren explained to him that there is a saying in China called "dogs look down on people", although this sentence was later developed into a derogatory sentence that looks down on others, but in fact, in the original meaning, the so-called "low" does not mean "inferior", but the meaning of low vision. Hu Zongren went on to say that dogs and humans have a close relationship, and unlike cats, dogs are naturally more lively and close to people. Dogs are also one of the few animals in the animal kingdom that can cause damage to ghosts. For example, dog teeth are used to ward off evil spirits, dog blood can burn or even kill ghosts, and dogs often disregard danger in order to protect their owners. Hu Zongren said to Mr. Liu, you should know the word "dog guts", that is, although the dog is humble on weekdays, no one can underestimate its loyalty, and it can also be bold enough to do many things it would not dare to do.

Hu Zongren saw that Mr. Liu still didn't understand too much, so he said, because you have a dog at home, when your daughter has these symptoms, the dog should be aware of it. There must be some signs, but you just didn't pay attention to it. Saying this, Mr. Liu suddenly seemed to think of something, patted his thigh and said, no wonder, just the day before his daughter's accident, he rarely went home to eat with his wife and children. On weekdays, when the family eats, the golden retriever will lie quietly under the table, and then put his chin on the instep of his daughter. During this period, no matter how everyone rubbed his feet on his body, the dog was always quiet. But the dog wasn't there that night, so during the meal, Mr. Liu asked where the dog went. Mr. Liu said that after asking at that time, his daughter said with an unhappy face that the dead dog was not well-behaved at all, and the owner dared to bite it.

Mr. Liu realized that after his daughter came home that day, according to the habit, he liked to tease the dog before washing his hands, but the dog didn't care about her that day, and as soon as she got close to the dog, the dog ran away by itself. So she kept chasing the dog, thinking it was a joke, but when she caught it, the golden retriever, who was usually very docile, suddenly turned around and barked fiercely, and then opened his mouth to bite her daughter. Mr. Liu hurriedly asked his daughter if she had been bitten to the point of getting a rabies vaccine or something, and her daughter said that she was quick to shrink her hand and didn't bite, but that already made her feel bad, so she didn't tease the dog. But since then, the golden retriever has been staying outdoors in their house, saying that he will not enter the house at all, but through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, while making that whining sound through his nose, he has been staring at his daughter.

Mr. Liu said that because it was a female dog, he thought it was a dog in estrus at the time, because the emotions of animals in estrus are often relatively unstable. And my daughter wasn't hurt, so I didn't take this matter to heart. Hu Zongren said, from the day your daughter became ill, did the dog have any other reactions, Mr. Liu said, where can I take care of it, my daughter has such a big thing, who still pays attention to the dog's movements. Hu Zongren said, let's do it, Lao Li, you are guarding here, Mr. Liu, you take me to see the dog.

I've told you how many times, don't call me Lao Li, make me look old, I'm obviously a post-90s generation. When I was cursing in my heart, Mr. Liu had already taken Hu Zongren downstairs. I can't remember exactly how long it was, but I smoked about two cigarettes, and that's not counting the time I spent thinking halfway through. Mr. Liu's daughter's room door was watching, and I stood outside the door in case there was any disturbance in the room, and I could also respond in time. After a while, I heard a sound of footsteps going upstairs, it was Hu Zongren and Mr. Liu who came back, but Hu Zongren was still holding the golden retriever in his hand.

I didn't understand what he meant, and I said that while it's important to love animals because we only have one earth, you shouldn't be playing with dogs at this time. Hu Zongren asked me with a smile, what will happen if you say that we will put this dog in the room later? So I quickly understood what Hu Zongren meant.

Because my original intention was to wait until it was dark, and then turn on the lights in the house. The lampshade is painted by me, so the entire range that the light can cover is actually shrouded by this dressing, which is a bit like the principle that the teacher taught us to play with a magnifying glass when we were children. Then I also painted the compress on the window, and I also painted two, because the compress must be a complete one, and it cannot be divided, and if the partition is broken, it will have no effect at all. This transparent glass during the day, when it gets dark, is actually not much worse than a mirror. The refraction of the light through the window glass can press the compress directly against the bed. The mirror on the table is the same principle, although it is not much necessary, but it is a double insurance to ensure that even if the ghost in the girl's body is fierce, it will be scattered and flee because of the pressure on me.

And Hu Zongren said that letting the dog in is actually a good way. Because after all, it is a labyrinth, and its purpose is to make ghosts get lost and unable to get out after they enter it. It is not aggressive in itself, it is just a means of blocking. The inheritance of the application has been thousands of years, Buddhism and Taoism on some charms or mantras, there are the same things as the application, this is not an exclusive secret art, but a great assimilation, the difference is only that in the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, the shouting and the title are different. But because it is not aggressive, the ghost in the girl's body may not even struggle, but it may not be willing to be caught. And let the dog in, you can force it to leave the girl's body, and then find a way to avoid the dog, and in the end, it will definitely find that the only safe place in this room is the place under the desk that is not illuminated by the light, and in that place, Hu Zongren and I have put gossip bags on the mouth of the bowl.

"Please enter the urn!" Hu Zongren said with a smile, he must have thought that he was a cultural person. But I have to admit that his trick must be very effective, and the only thing to worry about is being bitten by a dog and breaking the gossip bag. I voiced my worries, Hu Zongren is obviously still relatively rare in his own treasures. But he thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, "As soon as we hear the sound of the bowl falling to the ground, we will immediately go into the house and stop the dog."

After thinking about it, there is only one way. So Hu Zongren and I discussed with Mr. Liu, although the golden retriever itself is very docile, but after all, it is a large dog, and it hurts to bite it. So when we open the door and go in, we'll leave the task of catching the dog to you. Mr. Liu agreed, and by this time, he had basically understood the reason for what we were doing, so we waited quietly while observing the movement in the room and watching the time.

Ever since I met Hu Zongren, this person has not been a quiet person. When he's not having fun, he entertains himself. I was nervous because even after all these years, I still felt a little oppressed every time I was about to face a ghost. Maybe it wasn't the supernatural feeling of facing a ghost that oppressed me, but the anxiety of waiting, because I couldn't do anything while waiting, and I had to be prepared for something that could happen at any time.

I reached for my cigarette and found it finished. So I turned around and was about to ask Hu Zongren if he wanted to smoke, when I found him squatting on the ground, and the cheap dog was on all fours, his tail wagging wildly, looking extremely intoxicated and stupid, because Hu Zongren was pinching the nipple of the golden retriever and playing.

I was shocked by the perverted scene in front of me. looked at Hu Zongren with his mouth wide open, and wanted to scold him very much, but he didn't know how to scold him. Mr. Liu next to him also looked helpless and embarrassed, and smiled at me. Suddenly, I felt extremely embarrassed. I said to Hu Zongren angrily, your taste is really heavy, and you don't even let go of beasts. He still felt that there was nothing to do, and then asked me happily, why do you say that this dog has so many Mimi, why are there only two of them? I was speechless when he asked, and I didn't even understand why someone would ask such a low-level question, as if he had asked me why the rice was white, but why the stool was yellow. Before I had time to scream, Hu Zongren continued to laugh and say, this dog likes me to play with it, and it is happy! I laughed at Hu Zongren and said, then do you want to come while it's hot? I won't tell you about Fu Yunni. Hu Zongren said with a smile that it was still not necessary... By the way, what did you tell me to do? I said I wanted a cigarette. So he reached into his bag and gave me one, the same two fingers he had pinched the dog Mimi earlier, and the filter of the cigarette. I sighed in despair and said I wouldn't smoke anymore.

Finally, when it got dark, I saw that the time was almost up, so I said to Hu Zongren Let's prepare. Then I asked Hu Zongren to stop playing with the dog and give me the dog. Reluctantly, he picked up the dog and handed it to me. The golden retriever is still quite heavy, but fortunately, the is relatively small, and I can still hold it. I held the dog in one hand, pinched the untethered part of the back with the other, and tied the other end to the doorknob of the living balcony, with the rope of Hu Zongren's thunder charm in the middle, and stepped lightly over the grave on the ground and entered the house.

Then I slowly lifted the curtains, and it was already dark outside. Just as I was pushing away, the dog in my arms suddenly began to struggle as if frightened. Without thinking too much, I opened the remaining curtains, and in addition to the whining sound in the dog's nose, I also heard a hiccup-like female voice from the direction of Mr. Liu's daughter on the bed.

When I got to the door, I turned the dog around and threw it on the girl's bed, and then immediately turned on the light switch, quickly flashed out the door, closed the door, and fastened the untethered rope in my hand to the handle of the door of the room.

I felt like my heart was beating faster, and I slammed the door, though I knew it couldn't get out, but I couldn't help it. Then I heard a cry from behind the door like a dog being trampled on its tail, and then another strange bark, if you ever heard the cry of a leopard in the animal world, it looked like someone was imitating a leopard's bark.

It's just that it is the feeling of two voices overlapping, one is a mature female voice, and the other is an immature female voice.
