【073】 Missing
When Zhong Kui rushed to Old Man Xia's house, the courtyard was quiet and he did not see the body of the black dog. When he entered the courtyard, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to hold up the crumbling door, but was surprised to find that the door seemed to have been repaired.
Same, but it didn't tilt to one side.
When Zhong Kui entered the courtyard, he held down the scabbard on his waist, looked around with alert eyes, entered the inner courtyard at a very fast speed and quickly dodged into the kitchen room.
Zhiqing and Wengen buried the black dog behind the house, at the lower end of the old well. As they walked, they talked about how the black dog died so tragically, with its neck torn open and its entire throat broken by something.
.
Is it a dog fight? But no matter how you say it, you can’t explain it! In a radius of more than ten miles, there is a single-family house owned by Old Man Xia. It would make sense to say that a black dog went down the mountain to find his little lover, but it would be reasonable to say that it was a wild dog here.
They fought hard and bit off its throat, so... there must be some traces left!
Zhong Kui, who had just entered the kitchen, suddenly heard voices and footsteps coming from outside. He tensed up and immediately jumped a few steps to the outer wall of the kitchen. He leaned close to the outer wall and looked out.
Zhiqing wondered why the courtyard door was open. He glanced around, held the door with his hand and pushed it casually.
At this moment, a man suddenly ran out of the kitchen door and shouted: "Uncle Chen...Brother Wengen."
"Hey! Is this really Zhong Kui?" Zhiqing said happily.
"You're not dead?" Liu Wengen said humorously. As he said that, the two started pushing and fighting in front of Zhiqing.
Zhong Kui's nose felt sore and he almost shed tears. He said excitedly: "Uncle Chen...Brother Wengen, I really miss you."
"We... miss you too." Zhiqing stretched out his arms to hug Zhong Kui and said emotionally.
"You know, the scoundrel is dead..." Zhong Kui looked at Zhi Qing and said with red eyes.
"I know, we just came here after burying it." Zhiqing said, suddenly looked up at Zhong Kui and asked, "How did you know it was dead?"
"Last night, I came in the dark. When I came, I saw the dead guy at the door. Then I came in here." Zhong Kui gestured and said, "As soon as I came in, there was movement at the door. I didn't know who it was, so I quietly
Watching, what do you think I saw?"
Zhiqing and Liu Wengen felt nervous and asked in unison: "What did you see?"
"A person, but he doesn't look like a human. He has a pair of green eyes." Zhong Kui said with a solemn expression and a serious tone.
"Ah!" Wen Gen said in confusion, his eyes showing a hint of distrust as he looked at Zhi Qing, who was frowning in thought.
"Are you sure what you saw was not an illusion? Did you really see it?" Zhiqing's smile suddenly dropped, and he looked at Zhong Kui without any expression and asked.
"Sure."
Zhiqing looked at Zhong Kui's serious and dedicated expression and was convinced that he was not lying or alarmist. He immediately felt that the situation was far more serious than imagined.
When Zhiqing and Liu Wengen arrived, they carefully inspected the black dog's wounds. Not only did they find that its throat had been bitten off, but not a drop of blood spilled from its body. There was not even a drop of blood on the ground where it lay.
It seems that the black dog's blood was sucked dry by something.
Zhong Kui was still in a state of excitement because he saw Zhiqing and Liu Wengen. He explained to them one by one the conditions of the children in the ruined temple, and expressed his inner thoughts, hoping that
The two of them found a place for the children in the ruined temple.
When Zhiqing first heard that there were several children in the ruined temple, he was very surprised. In addition, the cause of death of the black dog was unknown. He immediately arranged for Liu Wengen to go down the mountain and quickly found a car to move the children from the ruined temple. He was so scared.
Even if children suffer the same fate as black dogs, it will be too late to regret it.
Liu Wengen was so timid! Zhiqing asked him to go down the mountain alone, but he was timid and left to do things. He was too embarrassed to express his fearful thoughts, so he just stayed in place silently like a wooden man.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhiqing looked at Liu Wengen and asked.
"No! Master, I went down the mountain alone, this... this."
"Uncle Chen, why don't you come together and I'll go and say hello to the children to stop them from running around. How about we meet under the big locust tree in Donghua Village?"
Zhiqing finally saw Zhong Kui and didn't want to separate him for a moment, but Wengen didn't go down the mountain to find a car. He originally wanted to go down the mountain, even if he found a stand car. It would be better to take the children away in one go than to go there alone.
The pick-up should come as soon as possible! I didn’t expect him to be too timid to go down the mountain alone.
Zhiqing looked at Zhong Kui with a solemn expression and asked: "Zhong Kui, can you tell uncle that you can do it alone?"
Zhong Kui saw the concern in the other person's eyes and was very moved. He shook his head resolutely and said to Zhiqing: "Uncle Chen, don't worry! I am a child of the mountains. There is no difficulty that can stump me.
"
Zhi Qinghe and Wengen hurriedly went down the mountain, hoping to find a nearby shelf truck. This kind of shelf truck is very common in rural areas. In cities, you can occasionally see a shelf truck full of goods passing through intersections.
A frame cart is made up of two wheels plus a horizontal bar. On the horizontal bar is placed a custom-made wooden frame connected by wooden planks. In this way, you can easily pull hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of goods. It is easier to use than a chicken car.
Zhiqing finally rented a sturdy stand truck at the village house at the foot of the mountain. Then he and Liu Wengen took a detour from another entrance, entered Donghua Village and passed the storage room, and then waited under the big locust tree at the intersection.
Zhong Kui also hurried back to the ruined temple without stopping. Surprisingly, when he arrived at the ruined temple, the children were gone. However, he found that there were several white-faced steamed buns on the place where the Buddha and Bodhisattva were worshipped. The buns were crawling on them.
There were a lot of small black flying insects.
Zhong Kui was stunned when he saw the steamed buns. He remembered that the children had finished the steamed buns before. How...
Seeing no one, Zhong Kui became anxious. He didn't have time to think about anything. He was so anxious that he shouted loudly. After shouting for a while, he paused and listened carefully. Except for his voice calling for the children, which echoed from Shanlian, there was no one else at all.
answer him.
By the water pool! Zhong Kui suddenly thought of the water pool, and immediately turned around and ran towards the water pool.
The sound of flowing water in the pool, the shadows of green plants swaying in the pool, creating circles of thin ripples. On the branches of the trees on the shore, birds chirped happily.
Zhong Kui was dumbfounded when he came to the waterhole. If the children were not here, where would they go?
Zhong Kui remembered that when he left the ruined temple, the children were pulling tree branches to make slingshots, and visually the rubber bands were broken. One child seemed to say something...
Little Huya was cutting a branch with a knife, and a child next to him seemed to be saying, "There are thick rubber bands in the purple bamboo forest, let's go look for them."
Purple Bamboo Forest? Did they go to Purple Bamboo Forest? Zhong Kui's scalp felt numb, and his heart was suspended in an instant.
