Xu Er was the first to walk out of the dilapidated mud house.

Lai Zi was sitting by the small mud intersection smoking at the moment, and from time to time he glanced nervously at the dark little house.

Seeing Xu Er walking out calmly, he quickly put out his cigarette, stood up, and walked forward hesitantly.

The tall and sturdy man looked so timid at this moment, which was particularly funny and ridiculous.

Xu Er looked at him calmly for a few seconds, and in his frightened eyes, he suddenly raised his foot and kicked him on his injured knee.

Lai Zi took two steps back, his face flushed red.

He stretched out his hand to cover his wound, gritting his teeth and glaring, veins bulging, but he dared not shout. Finally, he could not hold on any longer, gasping for breath and falling to the ground, with painful sounds coming out of his throat.

"Get up." Xu Er's voice was soft and calm, and if you didn't pay attention, it would seem that these words would be lost in the wind.

But Lai Zi heard it.

He supported himself on the ground with shaking hands and slowly stood up, but his legs couldn't help shaking, and some dark marks were faintly visible in the gray cloth.

"I've packed." Zhang Chunliang carried the luggage in one hand and held the big dog with difficulty in the other hand, and moved out of the house.

Lai Ziqiang endured the pain and stepped forward to take his suitcase.

But a beautiful and strong hand got there before him and placed it on Zhang Chunliang's hand holding the box.

Lai Zi stammered and turned to look at the dog with a sullen expression.

Then, as it struggled violently, he clamped it into his arms.

The dog was incredibly ferocious, and even in its dying state, its strength was so great that it almost escaped his shackles.

In order to prevent making the same mistake again in front of his elder brother, he used some strength to restrain the dog tightly.

Then he heard the dog suddenly let out a long, mournful howl, which sounded extremely pitiful.

"Brother Lai Zi..." Zhang Chunliang looked at him apologetically, "This dog is a little disobedient. It seems to be afraid of strangers..."

The dog clamped a piece of flesh on his waist with its toothless mouth. The amazing bite force made him frown in pain.

My goodness, where did that old beast get such a fierce big beast? It's more ferocious than a wolf cub! If it grows teeth, his meat and kidneys will be gone!

Wait, are you shy? He really wanted to remind this ignorant little devil that they saw the dog together...

Zhang Chunliang saw that Lai Zi had a ferocious look on his face and guessed that he had been tormented badly by the big dog, so he sighed and hugged the big dog in his arms again.

The big dog finally calmed down and leaned on Zhang Chunliang's shoulder with wet eyes.

Suddenly, a sinister gaze swept across its body, making the big dog tense instantly. It looked at him vigilantly and fiercely - Xu Er's eyes were cold and full of malice, looking at it.

Oh, it's my father. The big dog turned the tip of his ears as usual, put his chin on Zhang Chunliang's shoulder again, and rubbed his neck affectionately with the tip of his nose.

"Dirty little dog." Zhang Chunliang cursed it in a low voice.

The big dog's tail suddenly began to sweep happily.

……

The room Lai Zi found was adjacent to Xu Er's home, which was within Zhang Chunliang's expectations.

"I have a big bathtub at home," Xu Er pointed to the bloodstains on his face licked by the dog and smiled, "Do you want to take a bath?"

It has to be said that in some rural areas with harsh conditions, villagers may only take a bath once every few weeks or even a month.

Not to mention that the small river has strict water extraction requirements, which limits the villagers' bathing time. Being able to take a comfortable bath at night is something he would never dare to dream of.

Zhang Chunliang coughed lightly and asked in a reserved manner, "Is it okay? Would it be too much trouble for you?"

Xu Er looked at his expectant eyes and showed his friendly dimples again: "It's not a problem. We always have hot water on the stove at home."

So Zhang Chunliang happily washed himself clean and returned to his new room comfortably.

——Because the big dog was injured, he was a little worried that it would catch a cold after taking a bath, so he had to leave it alone in a small woodshed and carefully applied medicine to it.

As if knowing that he couldn't sleep with Zhang Chunliang, the big dog's eyes were full of pleading, and he kept making petty sounds in his throat.

But Zhang Chunliang was hard-hearted. In the end, he slapped its big head and left without any mercy.

"Woo woo ah——" the big dog cried miserably.

It called for a long time, and found that Zhang Chunliang had no intention of coming back, so it lay on the ground in frustration.

Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the door. He stood at the door of the woodshed for a long time and slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

The big dog had already assumed an attacking posture. It quietly hid in the shadows, without making any sound, and slowly walked towards the blind spot of the wooden door.

Xu Er's eyes swept across the woodshed, as if he was casually looking for some prey. Finally, he keenly caught a slight noise suddenly appearing at the door behind him.

Xu Er raised the sharp saw in his hand and smiled gently.

……

[My friend, looking forward to your reply.]

I admit that I am guilty. Please stop running around for a sinner like me and bothering the prosecutor.

I plead guilty. I am unworthy of our sincere friendship and your unconditional trust.

I plagiarized Zhang Lao's work because I was too impatient. We obviously entered the daily newspaper at the same time, but he was too outstanding. He came from a wealthy family and had studied abroad, which were things that a mediocre person like me could not achieve.

As long as he was here, I would never be able to fulfill my dream of becoming a great journalist... So I was obsessed with it, I... plagiarized his brilliant reports and took them for myself. I stole 762 yuan from him and used it to buy furniture, books and daily necessities. I also tried to bribe the editor-in-chief with the money, but failed. To prevent the matter from being exposed, I put a huge amount of strychnine in the tea cups of the editor-in-chief and the administrator.

I will be punished, and I deserve it.

My friend, you are right. Maybe I should believe in religion. Everything has its consequences, and I will have to bear the consequences myself.

My friend, farewell forever. May you continue to be an optimistic and upright person, and never be defeated by the evil and stubbornness of the world. You must be a loyal warrior and continue to fight against all evil forces to the end. 】

Zhang Chunliang closed his notebook thoughtfully and felt a headache.

Again, as a player, he became a “player in the game”.

He has not forgotten the mission - there is a person who is "guilty" on the bus heading towards the creek, and the guilty person will be tried after thirty days.

Now, his notebooks were almost irrefutable evidence that he was guilty.

This kind of thing must never be discovered by others.

Otherwise, players who are driven crazy by the main storyline of the game will not have the patience to listen to his explanations and inferences, and will just tie him up and put him on "trial".

As for what would happen to him after being "judged" by everyone, he really didn't dare to think about it... No one would show mercy to a "guilty person".

All he could do was take it one step at a time. Zhang Chunliang sighed deeply, blew out the candle, and forced himself to fall asleep.

He didn't know why, but he always couldn't sleep well. There were strange noises coming from outside the house, like the sound of a saw rubbing against a hard object.

On the second day, Zhang Chunliang had a big surprise.

He stared at the solid big bed with mortise and tenon structure in amazement, and could hardly believe that Xu Er had spent an entire night to make this.

He sat on it in amazement. The bed was wide and thick, with a fresh wood fragrance. He felt safe and secure, as if the bed would remain motionless no matter how he moved around on it.

"That's awesome!" he murmured, and that admiring look made Xu Er's earlobes turn red.

He avoided Zhang Chunliang's sight somewhat embarrassedly, coughed lightly, and said awkwardly: "There is one thing that I did privately without discussing it with you."

Zhang Chunliang showed a puzzled look on his face, and as he moved, he looked towards a corner of the large courtyard - there was a wooden hut less than half a person's height, with a pointed roof that was very wild, and the walls were polished smooth and clean. The person who built it also carefully applied a layer of oil, making it look beautiful and decent.

"It's like this." Xu Er's expression was gentle and sincere: "After making the big bed, there were still some materials left, and I didn't want to waste them."

A droopy head seemed to have heard a familiar voice and poked its head out from the wooden doghouse with a somewhat aggrieved look. There was an iron chain tied around its neck, making it look very unimpressive.

"...I think the environment here will be better. Why don't you just leave the dog here? I will take good care of it."

Under Zhang Chunliang's grateful gaze, Xu Er smiled warmly and harmlessly: "If you want to visit it, you are welcome to come to my place anytime."
