Chapter 8: The Black Dog

In the dimly lit room, the blue shroud is particularly eye-catching.

The moment I saw the shroud, my head was dizzy, my heart seemed to contract violently, and my breathing became extremely rapid.

I remember throwing the box in the trash can downstairs last night, how could it be that someone has been here now?

If someone sneaked into my room, it must have been to steal something, but now I don't have lost anything at home, but I have an extra shroud.

It's weird, who would be idle and send back something that someone else threw away, and it's still a shroud!

I don't know if it's because I didn't sleep well last night, but now my head is full of mush, as if it was messed up with a stick.

I was worried that I had a dream last night, so I looked back at the old lady standing in the door and asked her if she had seen me throwing garbage into the garbage can when she passed by the garbage building in the early morning.

She had just gone up to the second floor when I met the old lady, and she should have just been about to enter the building when I stood in front of the garbage building.

The garbage building is more than ten meters away in front of the residential building, and there are street lights all around the downstairs, so it stands to reason that she should be able to see me.

As long as she is sure that she sees me, it means that I have thrown the dress away, and it proves that I was not dreaming last night.

The old lady probably was old and not very good at her head, so she thought about it for a while before nodding her head, saying that she did see me standing in front of the garbage building last night, but I didn't seem to be throwing garbage at that time, but putting a black thing in the box.

The old lady's words made me a little confused, I didn't open the box at all after I went downstairs, let alone put things in the box, could it be that the old lady was dizzy and misunderstood?

"Auntie, are you dazzled because it's dark, I didn't put anything in the box?" I looked at the old lady with a puzzled look and asked.

"If you want to say that I am old and my head is not bright, I will not be tough with you, but if you want to say that I have a problem with my eyes, it is impossible, don't look at my age, I dare to walk at night at night, my eyes are like the tricks of the wolf, I will never be wrong......"

Before the old lady could finish speaking, she paused for a few seconds, during which she glanced towards the bedroom, and after a moment her eyes widened suddenly, and she raised her hand and pointed in the direction of my bedroom: "I remembered!" You're wearing this shroud when you're standing in front of the garbage building! ”

The old lady's words made me feel a chill down my spine, as if someone was constantly blowing cold air into it.

Last night I just opened the box and glanced at the shroud, I didn't even move, how could I wear it on my body.

Besides, I remember the story my father told me vividly, he said that wearing an unknown shroud might lead to disaster, and he might even die because of it, how could I go against my father's will!

"Auntie, think about it again, I was wearing a zebra-print pajama last night, but not this shroud, are you mistaken?" I watched the old lady continue to ask.

The old lady was just about to speak, when the pregnant sister next to her glanced in the direction of my bedroom again, and then her eyes showed a look of horror, and she said tremblingly: "Although the fire was a little dim when I burned paper with your eldest brother in the early morning, I remember that you were not wearing zebra print pajamas, as if ...... It's like a dark blue dress......"

After the pregnant eldest sister finished speaking, my scalp was numb, and it may be dazzling to say that one person is wrong, but two people can't be wrong at the same time.

If the two of them weren't lying, then when did I put on my pajamas, could it be that I just went downstairs in my shroud and just threw the box away!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and just wanted to continue asking, but the old lady hurriedly dragged the pregnant eldest sister downstairs.

When I went downstairs, the two of them glanced at me a few times, and the panicked look was as if they had seen a ghost!

As the door closed downstairs, I suddenly felt that my room was eerie, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching me, and he could see my every move clearly.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses after standing in front of the door, and there must be something wrong with this shroud anyway, and I have to dispose of it first.

After returning to the room, I found a black plastic bag, put the shroud into the plastic bag and hurried downstairs, this shroud made me unsettled, only throw away to completely solve the root problem!

Walking out of the building, I was just about to go to the garbage station to throw away my shrouds, when I suddenly heard a miserable cry coming from the direction of the garbage station.

When I looked up, dozens of passers-by gathered in front of the garbage station at this time, and the crying came from the crowd.

"Which beast killed my wife, my wife has been with me for almost twenty years, how can I live when it dies......"

The hoarse cries continued to sound from the crowd, and the hairs on the body stood on end.

I squeezed into the crowd with a plastic bag of shrouds and looked in the direction of the crying to see an old woman in black and gray hair slumped in front of the garbage can.

The old woman looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, and she was crying with tears in her eyes.

Hearing the old woman keep shouting about my wife, I thought to myself that there was a human death, so I immediately looked around, but there was nothing else around except the garbage can, what was going on?

The passers-by who watched the excitement around were probably worried that the old woman would cry and lose her breath, so they stood aside and kept persuading, but the old woman always turned a deaf ear, clasped her hands around her chest, and seemed to be holding something in her arms.

Since the old woman's blouse was loose and the black sleeves covered the contents of my arms, I went to the other side to get a good look.

After coming to the old woman's side, I glanced into her arms, and my body suddenly shook, and I was holding the box of shrouds in her arms!

At this time, the box was covered with dark red bloodstains, and I dared to take a step forward, and when I saw the contents of the box, I was stunned.

The box contained the black dog I saw in the garbage building last night!

The difference from last night is that at this moment the black dog has lost his breath, his limbs are broken and scattered in the box, his abdomen is open, and his intestines are all over the box.

But what struck me the most was the black dog's head, which looked like it had been torn off by something, and the fracture was extremely uneven.

What's even more strange is that this black dog's eyes are wide open, and the expression on his face is exactly the same as when he saw me at that time!

"I have to kill this beast with my own hands, my wife is my life, even if my wife is on the line, I have to find out who killed my wife......"

The old woman shouted to her wife while holding the black dog in her arms, which made people sound creepy.

Although the death of this black dog has nothing to do with me, I vaguely feel that something is not right, when I was upstairs before, the old lady said that in the early morning she saw me standing in the garbage building and going to the box to contain black things, could it be that the black thing is this black dog! ,

I remember that I had seen this black dog, but I had no contact with it, so what was going on?

I was pondering when I inadvertently glanced at my eyes, and suddenly saw the old woman staring at me with a cruel and strange look, and after a few seconds she asked coldly, "Did you see my wife last night, do you know who killed it?" ”

The hoarse voice and the old woman's cruel and strange eyes made me tremble, and I quickly shook my head and walked out of the crowd, and then threw the black plastic bag in my hand into the trash can on the side.

I didn't go home after throwing away my shroud, and went straight to a nearby breakfast restaurant for some breakfast.

As the saying goes, there is food in the stomach and there is no panic in my heart, perhaps because I am full of food and drink, my originally flustered mind has calmed down a little.

After calming down, I began to think back to what happened last night, and it seems that the source of all the weirdness started with this shroud.

Before I got this shroud, my life had been very peaceful, except for wandering around the street during the day, and at night I was chatting with tourists on a live broadcast at home, and I had never encountered anything weird.

This shroud was given to me by a tourist named Always with You, why did he do this, I really wanted to find him out and ask him clearly, but after opening the mobile phone live broadcast software, I found that he was still in the state of account cancellation.

I couldn't have figured it out without any contact information, and the only prayer now was that the shroud would disappear from my life completely, and that my life would be at peace, as if nothing had happened.

After eating, I was just about to get up and leave to find a place to relax, when suddenly a dark shadow appeared in front of me.

When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing an off-white Tang costume on his upper body, a pair of black slacks on his lower body, a pair of sunglasses on his face, and a bowl of tofu brain in his hand.

"Young man, there's no one sitting here, is there?" The man in sunglasses asked as he sat down.

"Nobody, I'm just finished eating, I'll make room for you."

As I spoke, I picked up the empty bowl on the table and was about to return it to the vendor, but just as I was about to get up and leave, the man in sunglasses took out a folding fan out of somewhere, and slammed my palm with a snap.

On the surface, the man in sunglasses didn't use much strength, but I just couldn't lift my hand, and in desperation, I looked at the man in sunglasses and said angrily: "Big brother, what's the matter with you, let's meet in Pingshui and you hold me and don't let me go, I'm in a bad mood these two days, you'd better not hit the muzzle." ”

The man in sunglasses laughed instead of being angry, pulled the folding fan in his hand down, and said in a slurp: "You kid is not short-lived, why do you only have so many days left to live?" ”
