"Thanks."

Da da da……

"sit."

"Thanks."

"You... want to ask about the house on Tianmu Road?"

"Yes. Did you hear what happened at the house?"

"Yes. I sold the house to a colleague of mine a few years ago... I also heard about the recent troubles at his house."

"What happened when you lived there?"

"..."

"Huh... Actually, it's nothing. I just like dogs. It's not like I like them. To be honest, my wife's colleague has a dog, and she likes it. When his dog gives birth to puppies, she just I want to take him back. I don’t agree. The main reason is that she wants to buy a dog house, buy dog ​​food, and buy all kinds of dog toys and dog clothes. It’s not that expensive to raise a child. Well. I have this kind of money, so I might as well raise a son. She acts like she has to serve Lafayette. Her colleague has a brain problem and keeps nagging her when she has nothing to do. What nutrients, what conditioner, tsk...huh——"

"You didn't get a dog after that?"

"We had just gotten married at the time. I talked to her and asked her to give up. She also got pregnant not long after and had no interest in it. It was good. But she later had a miscarriage and did not keep the child. It was hurt. The doctor said that she had to take care of herself and not be pregnant for the time being. She was also very unhappy. I asked someone from my hometown to help me pick out a puppy. Send the dog. She likes it very much."

"What happened to the dog?"

"died."

"What is the cause of death?"

"……call--"

"Isn't it convenient to say it?"

"No. I actually... don't know much about it. We have raised that dog for two years. It's really... a little puppy, which was quite fun at first. We gave it meat, clothes, and played with it. My wife was resting at home, and it was nice to have a dog with her. But as she grew older, she couldn’t bear it when she was alone at home. It's broken, the floor is scratched by it, and shoes and clothes will be damaged by it as long as they are left outside. My wife's colleague told her to walk the dog and take it out to consume some energy. I took him out, bit someone, and I had to pay for the medical expenses. My wife and I were annoyed by all the trouble. Her colleague who raised the dog came to see it once and said it was a rough dog with a bad temper. Not suitable for raising a family. I don’t think it’s the same thing. The first time the dog chewed up the shoe and peed in it, my wife rushed over to protect it. She was really stunned. What's the use of trying to reason with a beast when it's a human being? If there was a dog like this in my hometown, it would have been beaten to death. This matter should be obeyed... —”

"Um."

"She stopped staying at home and found a new job. Her health is almost healed. The dog was at home by itself during the day, so we were worried. I made a cage, locked up the dog, and provided him with food and drink. Put it all away. Later, a neighbor told me that it kept barking during the day. People posted notices in the corridor and scolded our house. I had no choice but to find someone to make a muzzle. We tried various methods. My wife couldn’t bear it anymore and we finally sent the dog back to her hometown.”

"That dog died in your hometown?"

"Yeah. He must have died there. I went back during the Chinese New Year, and when my wife asked, they didn't say anything. I knew it as soon as I saw it. The dog must have been killed. I just don't know how it died. Maybe. He was beaten to death, maybe he escaped, or someone captured him and ate him. This kind of thing is quite common in our place. To be honest, I think it’s okay for my wife. As a girl who grew up in the city, she thought that in the countryside, my parents would not be at home or in the fields like those on TV. She had to farm there all day long. She felt that the dog should live well there, with someone to accompany him, and in a place as big as the countryside, and with other dogs. Hey... Huh-"

"What happens after that?"

"After that, a friend of hers was having nothing to do and was messing around... She told her friend about the dog and about the New Year. I don't know if that person was mentally ill... He just I asked her if there was a meat dish on the Chinese New Year table. It was delicious and not pork or beef. She said that our family chopped up the dog and burned it. We do eat dog meat there, so there was no reason to hide it from me. There was no dog meat at all that day. After hearing this, she started thinking wildly and quarreled with me several times. We couldn’t get along anymore. We had quarrels every day, so we got divorced. I sold it to Xiao Li.”

"Have you encountered anything strange since then?"

"No. I didn't. My wife always said that she dreamed about that dog during that time. After the divorce, we didn't have much contact. I heard that she was doing well and nothing happened. About Xiaoli... I didn't either think."

"What did Mr. Li tell you?"

"He... I don't know who he listened to. We don't have an intermediary when buying and selling houses. We are all colleagues. Once the procedures are completed, the money transfer is done, and the keys are handed over, that's it. I They all handed it over. He didn't know who told him that he thought I kept the keys. When we got divorced, she took the money and gave me the keys to the house. I didn't change the door when I moved in. That's pretty much it. I heard that his parents' dog was killed when they couldn't find anyone, and they were very angry when they came here. I didn’t say it clearly. It was just a sneaky thing. When I knew it, everyone thought I was a pervert.”
