Although Luo Youning spoke slowly, Qiao Jing listened patiently.

The rumbling train is like a swaying cradle, and the closed carriage is like a closed memory. The narration brings him into that period of time that he has never experienced.

There, the vegetation is lush, the sky is clear, and the tragedy has not yet come, and they have just become green teenagers.

"During that time, children in several nearby villages often disappeared, and the police in the town couldn't take care of them. The village even formed a self-defense force to patrol the village at night. Dayu's family also issued a restriction order, and we could only do our homework at home. Only once , we took advantage of Dayu's grandparents going out to visit relatives, so we sneaked out to play basketball—"

It's still the winding slope, or the open field.

During that time the weather was always gloomy and the sun could not be seen.As a result, the tall trees with lush foliage became more and more rampant, casting thick shadows and separating a dead and silent territory.

Perhaps because they were afraid that they would hit the window again, high iron fences were erected around the house.

Outside the iron fence is still a playground for children to play, and inside the iron fence is a gloomy house like a haunted house.

As soon as the basketball bounced off the ground, it was intercepted by the agile Luo Youning.Yu Bingwen hit from the side, Luo Youning dodged left and right, rushed to the basket in three or two steps, and threw the ball.

The basketball spun between the basket and the net with a bang, unable to fall for a while.Luo Youning raised his head and stared at the ball, but from the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced up to the second floor of the house, and he saw a small figure by the window.

It was a little boy wearing denim overalls. He stood by the window and stared straight at them. After a while, he couldn't see enough. He pressed his face against the window glass desperately. Pressed into a sheet of paper.

His appearance was really funny, but Luo Youning couldn't laugh. The boy's eyes were empty and his face was expressionless, just like the little girl that day.

The ball hit the ground with a bang, and then swished into the bushes nearby. Luo Youning felt panic all of a sudden, and hurriedly turned around and called, "Da Yu! Come here!"

"Wait," Yu Bingwen said as he bent down to look for the ball in the bushes, "The ball fell into the ditch!"

With just this time of turning around, the little boy by the window disappeared in a blink of an eye, replaced by the tall figure of the man.

Luo Youning raised his head, while the man stood by the window and looked down at him.The eyes of the two collided. After a long time, a strange smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth. He raised his hand and closed the heavy curtains to block all prying eyes from the outside world.

Yu Bingwen came back after finding the ball, and muttered, "How dare you despise me, because you threw the ball so far."

"I'm not playing anymore," Luo Youning heard the creaking sound of the door of the house, as if the man was pushing the door and coming out, fear grew in his heart, he suddenly grabbed Yu Bingwen's hand, "Go! Let's go back! Go back right now !"

Yu Bingwen didn't know why, but he still followed Luo Youning's wishes.

The two hugged the ball, and they chased each other for a while, and when they reached the door, they were caught by the grandfather of Yu's family who was returning home from a visiting friend.

The grandfather of the Yu family was strict and never condoned his grandson, and he never condoned his grandson who didn't do his homework.

The two were separated, each writing their own summer homework in a room, and did not get together until after dinner.

Luo Youning was restless for a long time, and finally went back to the house after dinner, turned off the lights and went to sleep, then grabbed Yu Bingwen and told what he saw today, and finally said bluntly: "I think there is something wrong with your cousin. Those children were killed by him."

Yu Bingwen was a little hesitant: "Did you get it wrong again? It's impossible. I think he likes children very much, and he is quite attractive to children...how could he abuse children?"

Luo Youning said: "Didn't you say that he committed crimes in the city before, and was arrested and imprisoned, what else can he not do?"

Yu Bingwen was right when he thought about it: "It's too late now, uncle and the others are out on patrol too. I'll tell them when I get up tomorrow!"

Luo Youning felt at ease: "You must remember to say it tomorrow."

Yu Bingwen said: "I don't remember, do you still have you?"

However, before they could tell, the village self-defense team found the murderer in the uninhabited back mountain in the early morning of the next day——

It was a wild dog several times bigger than ordinary dogs.Its eyes were red, its body smelled of rancidity, its big gaping mouth was dripping with saliva, and there were pieces of meat hanging between its fangs.

According to the patrolling villagers, the dog was hiding in the grass at that time, and when someone turned his back to it, he suddenly jumped out and bit the neck of the man at the end of the team. Fortunately, they had a hunting gun with them and escaped unharmed. .

They beat the vicious dog to death with sticks, and when they dug out its stomach, they found the broken remains of one or two children in its stomach.

The truth was revealed, and the disappearance of the children was finally blamed on the vicious dog.

"They dragged the dog back to the village. I saw that dog looked very familiar. It seemed to be the one from Dayu's cousin's house." Luo Youning sighed softly, "But Dayu's family said that the cousin's dog was a dog when he was a child." I was bitten by a local dog in the village, and I am very afraid of dogs, and my family has never raised any dogs."

Qiao Jing gently held his hand: "What happened next?"

Luo Youning slowly curled up her fingers and grasped the corner of the quilt: "Later..."
