In the evening, I finally saw Patel and Chari in the cafeteria again, and at this moment Patel was languishing, leaning over and looking at the fried rice in front of him in a daze. I said hello to Chari and sat next to the two of them, Patel seemed to sense my movement, he raised his head, grinned at me, I felt that Patel at this time was like a gentle and reserved normal person, the atmosphere of the scene was so comfortable and quiet,

After a while, Patel muttered to himself, his voice not as urgent and dry as before, but so deep and magnetic.

"Frankly, I was very scared of hounds, and it probably had something to do with what happened to me as a child. When I was 10 years old, I had a puppy called a Samoyed and Hiromi skewer, and my name was Honey Bean, and we had been together for more than three years. One morning in the summer of that year, I took my puppy Midou to the back mountain to catch dragonflies and Zhizhi as usual. Maybe I was so involved in the fun that I got lost, and after several turns, I unconsciously returned to the road I had walked before. Later, because I was so tired, I sat down on a pile of rocks to rest. The weather had turned from sunny to cloudy, and the white mist had floated around, gathering around me in layers. The foggy fog seemed to have a hypnotic effect, and soon I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, it was already dark, and the thick fog that was thick and thick was increasing, and the fog was flying all around me, like gray lead, unusually ghostly. I was worried about my puppy, Pea, so I immediately called for him, but there was no response, and the surroundings were as quiet as a desolate graveyard. Just when I was in a hurry, suddenly there was a light in front of me, and a ...... A strange oversized Barley Town dog appeared, it was all white, but the black spots that had been all over its body were now all shiny golden yellow, and it was also surprisingly large, the size of a muscular male lion. The eyes also shimmered with a shiny golden yellow light. Its appearance was really not ordinary bloody horror, the corners of its salivating mouth were stained with a large area of red blood, apparently it had just devoured a small animal, and I thought that nine times out of ten it was my poor little dog Honey Bean. At this time, it crawled on its unusually muscular body, and bared its teeth at me brutally, as if to foretell that I would be its food in the next second. I was so frightened that I turned around and ran. As I ran in a hurry, I could smell the foul smell of the barley dogs. By the time I was discovered by the adults who were looking for me, it was already the next morning, and I was lucky enough to lie on the side of a swamp and pass out, but they found that I had already crossed the back hill and entered the deeper mountain forest. I died nine times and picked up a life, but the imprint of fear resided deep in my heart. I told everyone about it, but no one believed it, only my dad who always looked at me worriedly. After that, I had the same nightmare every night, and each time I woke up crying in fright. As time went on, as I grew up, I felt like I had forgotten about it, and then I realized that I was just hiding it in a deeper place. A few years ago, I dared to go to the back mountain again, but I didn't expect to see a bunch of huge paw prints, although messy but very clear, I didn't expect this barley dog to be alive in the world, I was so scared that my heart was about to jump out. Since then, I have never dared to go to the back mountain, but my heart is still trembling. And I started to have nightmares again, and nightmares often either started with or ended with this event. Not only that, but in my dreams, the big Maicho dog was not just a lonely one, but there were surprisingly many of them, and they were everywhere, which made me really miserable. ”

His throat tightened a little as he spoke. I felt the same way, but I couldn't think of any good way to resolve it, so I could only find a few words of comfort to enlighten him. While I was still hesitating to say something, Charry said quickly, "We might as well go to the back mountain to see this terrible barley dog." ”

Charry's expression was overflowing with emotion, and it must have been Patel's crucial role in his memories of his childhood. Obviously, the chances of such words appearing are almost non-existent, or they are not heard for the first time. At this time, Chari turned his head to me, and I immediately understood, and hurriedly added, "Yes, it's time for us to grasp the power of this Barley Town!" ”

"It's a good idea, let's go together and see the real face of this big dog." At this time, Patel seemed to have made up his mind, and in his deep gaze there was a murderous aura that looked at death as if he were at home, and at the same time, it was intertwined with a timid and frightened life-saving nature, making it difficult for you to distinguish which was more important.

Privately, Chari excitedly told me that Patel's remarks had never been mentioned before, and that it must be a good omen, a new beginning, and as I expected, "Why don't we hurry back to Patel's hometown?" ”

Charry said confidently, "Not really. Patel's hometown is 108,000 miles away from here, time does not allow, far water will certainly not quench the thirst of the near, but this is not a difficult thing that cannot be solved, there are also many small hills on our small island, just find a relatively strange and weird one. I think Purple Maple Mountain is a good choice, with rugged and steep peaks and relatively gentle valleys, and the terrain is complex and varied, which can easily be confusing. I think that as soon as Patel enters, he will definitely fall into it, and he will not be able to distinguish between the real and the fake. ”

"I hope it can reach the point where it is real." Although I said this, my heart couldn't help but beat a drum.

Over the next few days, Chari was well prepared with several doctors and nurses, and I was at Charry's side. We have conducted a detailed survey of the topography of Zifeng Mountain, and we have also arranged a comprehensive emergency plan, and we have placed enough guards around Zifeng Mountain to prevent unexpected accidents. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

On a breezy night, we finally got into action. The earth has fallen asleep, and the bright moonlight is sprinkled in every corner, and occasionally a few small shining stars twinkle quietly in the sky, which seems so quiet and elegant. But in my eyes there is a different picture. None of the plants or trees were as real as they were during the day, and under the shadow of the moon, they all glowed with vague, ethereal colors, as if they were peeking at us in the dark. And the soft moonlight inlaid the treetops around the high slope with elegant lace, like the edge of a goblet, and the silhouettes of these peaks reflected in the shimmering light seemed darker and more evil by the minute.

Ever since he first heard Charis talk about going to his hometown to find out, Patel was naturally caught up in it. It seems that this is the thing that he has been hovering in his heart but feels deeply unable to do, and we just happened to accompany him to pursue the victory and beat him down.

At this moment, Patel, who had always been stuck with the status quo, changed his previous conservative timidity, and strode ahead of the two of us, not only swinging his arms stiffly, but also clenching his two large hands tightly into fists. His eyes were staring straight into the distance, as if he had entered his love-hate homeland and the valley where secrets were buried.

Chari was also cautiously watching the movements around him as he went, lest some unexpected flaws disrupt the deliberate deployment.

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Patel suddenly started running, and he ran faster and faster. Charry and I hurried after him and galloped as well. Just as I was about to fall, Patel stopped suddenly. It didn't matter if he stopped, I didn't have any defenses at all, and my whole body was planted on the body of Chari who had not yet stood firm in front of me, causing Chari to stumble and almost fall out on his back.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! "I helped Calry to hold it down.

"It's okay!" It could be seen that the joints in Charry's calves were twisted lightly, and he bared his teeth in pain.

But at this time, Patel had no time to pay attention to our feelings, he only focused on the dark valley in front of him, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he asked in a hurried whisper, "Did you hear anything?!" ”

Chari resisted the pain in his heart and looked around, "It's quiet, I didn't hear any movement. ”

Patel walked slowly with small steps, and suddenly he stopped again on the slope of the valley, and his voice was full of fear, "Dog! ”

"Where?" Chari followed his blank gaze and looked ahead.

"Dogs! Big dog! Patel's eyes turned to the other side.

"Dozens of big dogs!" Patel's eyes instantly slid to the opposite side again, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed the word out of his mouth.

But we didn't see anything, the sky was still the same sky, and the earth was still the same earth, and nothing had changed.

We were about to hint at Patel when he suddenly ran up behind me. It was an unexpected situation, he didn't hide behind the strong Chari, but chose my short body as a bulwark, but I was firmly wrong. At this moment Patel was clutching at my thin clothes, perhaps because he was trying too hard, or perhaps because he was holding on to too many clothes, and I immediately felt my breath short.

Patel hysterically shouted, "Dog! Dogs!" From his frantic cry I suddenly realized that the reason why he did this was perhaps because I was obviously weaker than Chari, maybe because I was a young woman after all, so the meat was more tender in comparison, and anyway, now Patel's intention was too obvious, which was to push me to a pack of wild dogs to make a good meal! Although I knew that all this was fake, it was all imaginary, but for some reason I seemed to be indulging in this kind of strange phenomenon, and at this moment I was so terrified that I felt as if I was only a thin line away from death.

Chari was right next to me and Patel, and at this moment he carefully grasped Patel's big hand, and quietly tried to pull away from his grip on my clothes, but to no avail, Patel's big hand was like a steel plier firmly entangled in my clothes. At this time, Chari knew that pulling hard would not work, and that it might be worse, but he was worried that I would not be able to bear it, and that there would be some unexpected details, so he had to make a look at the guard who was hiding next to him, so the guard decisively fired a tranquilizer at Patel.

Patel collapsed in response, and at the moment he was unconscious, he was still muttering "Dog! Dog! ”

The operation ended in failure.
