Chapter 4 Descending the Mountain to Find a Dog

The distance down the mountain is not far, the mountain is shrouded in mist, the mountain stream is bubbling and flowing, there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, called Yeshi Village, there are more than ten families living in it, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the green shade is verdant, under the mountain you can occasionally see a few woodcutters who return with a full load, bending their bodies, staggering on the mountain path.

At this time, it was approaching evening, after a heavy rain, the remnant sun was no longer dazzling, a touch of golden afterglow was sprinkled, and a humanoid skeleton ghost that had been stretched several times was reflected in it, it was Lin Chenben.

The bones are as smooth as jade, leaving no traces of decay of the years, Lin Chenben held the wooden stick in his hand, trembling and walking, causing his body to be distorted, if this strange appearance was seen by people passing by, he might feel pity.

On the way down the mountain, lying in the clear and cool stream for a long time, the leaves above the head are stacked green, the bubbling stream is happily running into the distance, and the anxious and depressed mood is gradually soothed by the rare good time in front of me.

"It's not good to be naked like this all the time, and exhibitionism isn't as exaggerated as I am, so it's better to wear a suit."

"Uh, don't wear it, the style is unique, wear it, it's full of mystery", whether to wear it or not, Lin Chenben looked at himself and touched his head awkwardly.

"Xiao Huanghuang, I'm here" Lin Chenben was in a good mood at this time.

On the way, he did not meet a woodcutter, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he covered his eyebrows with one hand and looked out at the village.

"Hey, why am I blocking my eyes, something."

Smoke curls from every household in the village, and a few children are chasing and playing in front of the house, and a few childish laughter comes from time to time.

"Dog, it's time to go home for dinner"

"Okay, I'll be right away", the boy named Goudan didn't seem to have enough fun, reluctantly threw away the stone in his hand, and went home unhappy.

Lin Chenben touched the entrance of the village, and several children who were playing also went home one after another, as the sunset sank into the mountains, the day was swallowed up by the night little by little, and the surroundings were silent.

Quietly passing through the entrance of the village, there were several clothes of different sizes hanging on the bamboo poles in the courtyard of the dog's house, "the long one should be fine to cover this pair of bones", bent over, tiptoed to the front, and picked up a black robe with bare fingertips.

"Hehe, it's a cape with a hat, God help me."

"The wind blows PP cold, these pants are not bad" Lin Chenben reached out and grabbed the pants and put them on his waist for a gesture.

"Rhubarb..."

A shrill shout rang out, and the quiet village was like a bomb dropped.

A few curses and curses came clearly: Which dead man's hole was dug out? Thrown in the house, see if I don't smoke you to death, where did you die?"

"Whoosh".

A filthy bone flew out of the door, flashed in front of Lin Chenben, and fell to the ground.

Before Lin Chenben had time to put on the clothes in his hand, he quickly lay down, holding the black cloak over his head, motionless.

"I'll go, I'm scared to death, I really can't be a thief, I'm too weak-hearted" Lin Chenben gently bent his hand and slowly touched his chest.

"What's that, a little familiar?"

After a long time, there was no movement outside, Lin Chenben leaned on his stomach, lifted the corner of his clothes, and looked out, nothing unusual.

My heart was relieved, and I secretly sighed, "It's so dangerous, I almost lost it on my head."

Looking at the slender bones covered with dust on the ground, the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"It's... There is nowhere to find it when you step through the iron shoes, God Dad, you are so good to me, love you, Mo Da", he almost wanted to jump.

Lin Chenben crawled over like a turtle against the ground.

The bones were close in front of him, and the white bones that were originally as smooth as jade were dirty at this time, except for a few places where the dog's mouth had bitten and showed white, and the surrounding area was almost covered by dirty dust, and a special smell permeated the surroundings.

Thinking of the way his bones were tortured by rhubarb, biting and licking, this pungent smell that seemed like dog urine, Lin Chen was extremely aggrieved, and he couldn't attack at this time, and his depressed qi began to sublimate again.

"This dead dog, see if I don't smoke you to death, where did you die?".

... This seems to be a bit smooth.

He got up, stooped over to a corner, threw his cloak on, and tied his black pants around his waist.

At this time, looking at Lin Chenben from behind, there is not much difference from ordinary people, the black coat and hat cover the head, the wide cloak dances gently, but the trouser legs seem relatively hollow, as if a bamboo pole is inserted in it, swinging in the breeze, and the toe bones of Sen Ran are looming.

Lin Chenben put his hands on his waist, and his ten fingers could be crossed: "This small waist should be able to break the Guinness record." โ€

"Find a way to clean up the stupid dog first, even if you can't stew it into a pot, a violent beating is inevitable"

What is the way to lure the rhubarb out? It is absolutely inappropriate to clean up the rhubarb in the village, if it is discovered, it is better to say that it is broken up alive, if it is chopped up and fed to the dogs...

Rejecting this idea, Lin Chenben squatted down and thought hard about it, and suddenly saw that there was still a light on in the firewood room not far away, and he immediately thought about it.

The faint light of the firewood room, flickering and dimming, seemed to be extinguished at any time, and Lin Chenben quietly slipped over.

Looking through the window lattice, there was no one else in the house, a large number of dry firewood and branches were piled up behind the stove, and several jars and jars were placed in a disorderly manner on the countertop.

"Well, maybe there really will be, let's go and see first."

The door of the firewood room was in the courtyard, Lin Chenben bowed his body and walked a few steps forward, then stopped and looked around vigilantly, and after a while, he smoothly entered the firewood room.

The firewood room is not big, the stove alone occupies half of the area, seeing the altars and jars on the stove, the blue flame in the eyes suddenly became brighter, the originally dim firewood room immediately became brighter, and even the black bacon hanging on the stove was clear at a glance.

"Wow, there's bacon, that's a good thing. โ€

He didn't care about the blue glow he emitted, he already knew that night on the mountain.

I found a slender wooden stick from behind the stove, took off a piece of bacon, and came to the stove jar, opened it one by one, and sure enough, there was still half a jar of oil left in a certain jar, the oil fragrance was overflowing, and the smell of oil was mixed with the bacon incense, which could make him greedy, and he couldn't wait to swallow the bacon raw on the spot.

"Nima, is this meat really for rhubarb?" A voice in my heart asked.

Originally, it was planned like this: the oil tank was shot, placed at the entrance of the village, the fragrance lured the dogs, and the night was guarded.

"Now, bacon in hand, I have it in the world, haha..."

The thought of being able to beat a big yellow dog is so happy, cool!

He smiled, holding the oil can in his right hand and the bacon in his left hand, holding it in his arms, and sneaking out.

Night in the mountains, the moonlight is faint, ethereal and quiet.

Looking at this quiet night, Lin Chen's heart rippled, his heart was full of emotions, this kind of isolated, simple folk customs, leisurely mountain life may be more suitable for him, there has never been a family dinner, he has never had the love of his parents, he is a lonely person in that world, I can't help but look back, as if I am a world away, looking at the little dim light projection of the old house in the village, I can't help but sigh "... No way... It's the stupid dog. โ€

In the dim light, there stood an unkempt yellow dog, staring at him with bared teeth, it was the big yellow dog that made him miss at a glance.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the dog was there, and the lights were dim. (I hope the big guy will tap o(โ•ฏโ–กโ•ฐ)o)
