Chapter 1: The Beginning of Change

"Mom, I'm not going back to sleep tonight, I haven't been back for a long time, I'll sleep here in the old house tonight. "Well, okay, just come out for breakfast tomorrow morning, the phone bill is expensive, so we won't talk." With that, he hung up the phone.

Lin Feng listened to the busy sound of "beep" on the phone, and his head had a black line, and he didn't say anything, so he hung up the phone, not caring about him at all, is he still his own? Lin Feng felt a stomach in his stomach. But this is my mother! While shaking his head, he walked into the house helplessly.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar dilapidated furniture and objects in the house, Lin Feng was in a trance. This is his childhood! He grew up here and lived here until high school. This is where his childhood and dreams are keen, and he remembers them very well. A few years ago, because the eldest uncle, the second uncle, and the younger uncle wanted to build a house in the village outside, they discussed moving out with Lin Feng's father.

Originally, Lin Feng's father didn't want to move out and build a new house, after all, it had only been seven or eight years since he moved in from the village, and the family had almost spent his family's savings to build this house, and the two children were studying again. But Lin Feng's father is the third of the four brothers, he is soft-spoken, and he thinks that his two children are also about to become adults, and they have lived here since they were children, and they have become a little withdrawn, and they are even afraid to see some relatives during the New Year, and it is good to go out, after all, there are more peers, and it is good to be cheerful.

In addition, this place is surrounded by mountains, and there is only a small road to go outside, and it will not be easy to please a wife in the future, so I gritted my teeth and moved out with my uncle and others.

But it was not deserted, and it was often cleaned up, and when the farm was busy, it was lived, and there were some pigs here, which had to come back every night to feed. Sometimes it's late, and I stay here, so I can sleep here and cook everything. Lin Feng came home from a city vacation not long ago, because he was unhappy at work and wanted to take a walk, so he took the initiative to ask his parents today, came back to the old house to feed the pigs, and by the way, he looked at his former hometown, after all, after graduating and working, he rarely came back here.

Lin Feng's parents also seemed to know that Lin Feng had something on their minds, so they let Lin Feng come, but they were not worried, although the old house was empty for several miles because the remote people had moved away, but because Lin Feng grew up there since he was a child, he was familiar with everything there, so when Lin Feng said to his parents on the phone that he wanted to spend the night here, he was not surprised, and it seemed that he had expected it and agreed.

Lin Feng was still reminiscing in the house, when a wind suddenly blew in from outside, which was very cold, which made him feel excited and pull back his thoughts.

"It's weird, it's only October, and it's still autumn, why does this wind make me feel like winter?" Lin Feng looked outside the house, glanced at the sunset that had not yet set, and frowned and thought.

But Lin Feng didn't think much about it, the pigs hadn't been fed yet, and when the sun set, it was going to be dark, so it would be difficult to work, so he hurried to work.

It was night, at seven o'clock Beijing time, Lin Feng finished everything, and after eating a simple dinner, he started today's homework.

That's two hundred push-ups and a hundred squats a night, done in groups, never stopping and cutting corners. This habit began when he was a senior in college, and it has been almost a year and a half now, because he has been doing farm work since he was a child, and his health is not bad, and he is a little stronger than his peers.

Lin Feng took off his shirt, revealing angular pectoral muscles and quadruple abdominal muscles. Why four-pack abs instead of eight? Because those four pieces are blocked by the fat......

After going to college, because I was studying in other places, I rarely came back home, so I naturally did less farm work, and the college food was also good, so I was in good shape, but because I neglected to exercise and was diligent in Haikou, I collapsed. Seeing that his body was deformed day by day, Lin Feng was also very helpless, so he finally learned from the pain in the year he was about to graduate, made up his mind, and started his own exercise plan. Even after the internship, I didn't stop.

So even after a year of exercise, the body gradually returned, but this habit was maintained, no matter how busy and tired I was.

Lin Feng was already sweating profusely after finishing it, although he was tired, he was very happy. Narcissistically glanced at his figure, very satisfied, although that bit of fat is a bit of a sight, but he doesn't take it to heart, he feels that if he persists, sooner or later he can exercise his eight-pack abs.

After taking a comfortable hot bath, Lin Feng walked out of the door, wanting to see the stars and the moon in the sky. But they found that the whole sky was gray, and there was no light in sight, and the whole earth seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Lin Feng looked at the dark night when he couldn't see his fingers, and suddenly felt a little depressed in his heart for some reason, and felt a little uneasy.

"Woo", a whimper came from his feet and made Lin Feng come out of his thoughts, Lin Feng lowered his head, but it was the old black dog he raised from his childhood.

"What's the matter, Ah Fu. Lin Feng squatted down and gently stroked its head with his hand

"Are you also uncomfortable with this weather?" Lin Feng asked with a soft smile

'Ah Fu' is the name of this old black dog, which came to Lin Feng's house during a rainstorm when he was still a child. That day, Lin Feng's father was doing things in the mountains in the rain, and when he came back, the little black dog was with him.

Lin Feng's father saw that it was pitiful, its thin body was trembling in the rain, and there was no one around, so he concluded that this was a lost puppy, and Lin Feng's father was still thinking about whether to bring it back, but the puppy took the initiative to run towards him, rubbing friendly at his feet.

Lin Feng's father liked it very much when he saw this, and felt that this puppy was very spiritual, so he wanted to take it home, but because he came to work in the mountains, he had a lot of things in his hand, and he couldn't spare his hands to carry it home, which was very embarrassing, because no one in the village had the habit of leaving the guy who was eating.

So Lin Feng's father walked in front and wanted the puppy to follow him home. And the puppy is also spiritual, so he has been following behind, and the puppy who is not as big as a palm on the mountain road for more than a kilometer is stunned, so he returned to Lin Feng's house.

There is a local saying in the countryside: "Dogs come to be rich, cats come to be poor", so this puppy was called 'Ah Fu', so this puppy became a member of Lin Feng's family, and it has been almost eleven years now. From a puppy not as big as a palm to a drooping old man, his oily and shiny fur like black satin began to turn a little whitish and shedding. The strong body began to thin and thin, and it began to like to lie in the doorway, motionless for hours. But Lin Feng's family has been treating it as before, even if it is no longer as brave as before.

After all, it has been about eleven years since he came to this price, and Lin Feng's family has regarded it as a member of the family, and it has also witnessed the growth of Lin Feng's two brothers, covering almost Lin Feng's entire childhood.

Lin Feng gently stroked its head, and Ah Fu also squinted, enjoying this rare warm moment. Lin Feng suddenly found that at some point, Ah Fu in front of him had become so old, and his eyes seemed to have become cloudy. When he was a child, he and Lin Feng went up the mountain to chase hares, caught pheasants, went to swim in the river together in the hot summer, and ran and chased together in the harvested rice fields.....

But since Lin Feng's two brothers went to college one after another, they haven't been able to come back a few times a year, even if they come back from vacation or the New Year, they rarely play together because they no longer have children's hearts. It wasn't until now that Lin Feng found out that Ah Fu was already so old. After all, the normal lifespan of a dog is only ten to fifteen years, and it has been in Lin Feng's house for eleven years.

Lin Feng sighed inexplicably, and found that it seemed that Ah Fu's interest was not high, his spirit was sluggish, and he was even a little uneasy, whimpering in a low voice. Lin Feng frowned for a while, then stretched out, and didn't take it to heart, just thought that it was tired, after all, it was old and frail, and it followed him on a mountain road for more than ten miles, so it was normal to behave like this.

Teasing Ah Fu for a while, Lin Feng stood up, prepared to wash up and go back to the room to sleep, walked to the gate, suddenly turned around, glanced at the old black dog Ah Fu, and found that it was also staring at himself tightly, his two eyes glowed green, his body leaned forward, and the hair on his body stood up slightly, as if he wanted to express something, Lin Feng was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, he smiled at the old black dog Ah Fu slightly, and glanced at the dark night, like a beast that chose people and devoured fierce beasts, suddenly felt a little uneasy, and it seemed that he was about to flee back to the room. The moment he turned around, he saw an iron rod nearly a meter long in the corner of the wall, pondered for a moment, kept an eye on it, and brought it into the room. After all, the performance of the old black dog Ah Fu is not quite right with the night tonight.

.........

Lin Feng fell asleep, and suddenly found himself in a familiar place, and was puzzled: "Am I not sleeping?

So he searched around, and suddenly a bloody zombie with a bloody mouth jumped out of nowhere, and bit him when he opened his mouth, Lin Feng was very scared, and ran desperately, trying to get rid of it, but he couldn't escape. Suddenly tripped over a stone, the zombie behind him finally found an opportunity, opened his bloody mouth, exuded a fishy smell, and opened his mouth to bite down.....

Lin Feng woke up suddenly, and found that the sweat had wet the pillow.

"It turned out to be a dream", Lin Feng exhaled with relief. Looking out the window, I found that it was still dark before dawn.

But I found that something was wrong, it seemed to be too quiet, not to mention that there was no usual insect chirping, not even a trace of wind, and the silence was a little scary.

Lin Feng touched the iron rod at the head of the bed, calmed down, and felt a lot more relieved.

Suddenly, Lin Feng seemed to hear Ah Fu's voice, which was not the same as usual, not barking, but emitting a low roar, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.

"Could it be a thief?" Lin Feng muttered.

Lin Feng squinted his eyes, his expression became resolute, and he crept up, trying not to make a sound, for fear of scaring away the thief. Holding an iron rod in his hand, he didn't turn on the light, and with more than ten years of familiarity with this home, he groped his way out.

Seeing the old black dog Ah Fu not far from the door, his eyes were full of green light, and he maintained a biting posture, like a bow and arrow about to leave the string, the black hair around his body stood up, roared in a low voice, and stared at the distance not far away, as if facing a great enemy.

Lin Feng followed Ah Fu's eyes, and suddenly his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, his cold hair exploded, and he forgot to think for a while, what did he see?

A white skeleton with a faint green glow in its eyes was slowly walking towards this side.......
