On How to Raise Loyal Dogs in a Science Fiction World

Lu Kui and Su Luo walked downstairs on the small creaking wooden stairs, and there was a steaming hot breakfast on the small square table in the main room.A plate of steamed crystal clear buns, a plate of pickled golden radish strips, a large bowl of boiled red bean and white rice porridge.Su Luo sat down at the table in a good mood and started shouting: "Aunt! Aunt Chen!"

A simple middle-aged woman came out from the kitchen in the side hall with bowls and chopsticks. "Come on, come on. If you don't get up again, I'm going to call you!"

When the two first arrived here, they searched for several hotels. Su Luo was disturbed by all kinds of noises and couldn't sleep peacefully. Finally, he found this renter in the depths of this small town.The landlord is this Aunt Chen, who lost her husband in her early years, and her children who have worked so hard to raise her are unwilling to stay in this small town, and went to a bigger and wider place to work hard.The lonely and lonely Aunt Chen wanted to rent out the vacant second floor, because the yard was almost in the deepest part of the town, and many people gave up coming and going because of the inconvenience, until the arrival of Su Luo and Lu Kui.The two paid the rent for several months at a time. After a warm invitation to eat together, Su Luo fell in love with Aunt Chen's craftsmanship, so he started to eat together again.Aunt Chen liked the two young people who were as quiet as her own children, but Su Luo's unfluent Chinese always made a lot of jokes, such as this Aunt Chen.

"Auntie, I want sugar. A lot of sugar!" Su Luo squeezed the steaming buns and stuffed them into his mouth.Lu Kui got up and took the bowls and chopsticks handed out by Aunt Chen, scooped up a bowl of porridge, put two spoonfuls of sugar in it, and blew in his mouth: "I want to call you Auntie, not Auntie."

Su Luo chewed the bulging steamed stuffed bun stuffed in his mouth and muttered a bunch of English, and Lu Kui handed over the cold porridge. "Speak Chinese, no more sugar."

Aunt Chen was not used to the relationship between the two at first, but she gradually felt relieved when she learned that they came back from abroad and that they were no different from ordinary couples.Wiping the water stains on his hands on the apron, he picked up the porridge that Lu Kui had bitten and said, "It's okay, Xiao Luo can call you Auntie if you want, it's the same."

Su Luo smiled brightly. Seeing Su Luo's happy smile, Aunt Chen put another bun in Su Luo's bowl: "Eat more, why don't you see that you are fat?" Kui Wanli: "Eat more too, don't patronize Xiao Luo." A table of people like a family ate breakfast in the warm sunshine.

Su Luo was basking in the sun with his feet up under the vines in the yard, when suddenly a soft sigh came.Su Luo sat up nervously, closed his eyes and began to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear anything anymore.Su Luo was a little anxious and wanted to go out the door. Seeing Su Luo's strange behavior, Lu Kui grabbed Su Luo who was in a hurry to go out, put on a windbreaker and said, "I forgot what you just promised me yesterday. ?”

Su Luo didn't have time to explain and pulled Lu Kui, so he walked out the door, looking around for something.After a while, the two walked to a dam at the foot of the mountain outside the small town.The bottom of the dark green cistern could not be seen at all, and several police cars parked on the dam and pulled up a yellow cordon to keep people away.Lu Kui frowned and pulled Su Luo, who wanted to pass, Su Luo came back to his senses.

"It's not him..." Su Luo was a little disappointed.

"You can hear it so far away now?" Lu Kui was concerned about another question.

"Yes, calm down." Su Luo recalled the details just now.

"You're so young, why don't you want to jump into the reservoir!" said someone from the crowd of onlookers in the distance. "Yeah, when my family members arrived just now, they cried and said that they had just been admitted to college!" Another person agreed. "Now there is only one child in the family. Who can bear such a thing?" Another person commented.

"He didn't jump off by himself." Su Luo said softly.

Lu Kui squeezed Su Luo hard: "Don't worry about it."

"But he is sighing." Su Luo stared at the young boy's body wrapped in a black body bag that was about to be carried out in the distance.

"This is China!" Lu Kui dragged Su Luo away.

Su Luo followed behind Lu Kui unhappily. Over the past few years, with the growth of age and the constantly changing environment, his ability seems to be getting stronger and stronger. He can hear voices from far away or from a long time ago. Uncontrollable situations, such as last night.But this enhancement still made Su Luo excited, because it was one step closer to the goal.

"Go directly to the funeral home? Are you really not going to let us dissect it?" The police on the side confirmed to the family.

"No, everyone is dead, let him live in peace." The family member said, wiping away tears.

Su Luo stopped moving forward and held Lu Kui tightly. "He has something in his mouth."

Lu Kui turned his head to look at Su Luo, and Su Luo looked directly at Lu Kui without retreating: "He couldn't speak clearly, he seemed to have something in his mouth."

Lu Kui held Su Luo tightly and walked back to prevent people from turning back. Su Luo struggled desperately behind.The movement of the two caught the attention of a young policeman, "Hey! What are you two doing?"

Lu Kui took a deep breath, relaxed the strength in his hands, and said to the policeman, "Passing by!"

Su Luo yelled directly in English: "He has something in his mouth."

Lu Kui turned to the roaring Su Luo and said in English, "Don't you want to stay here anymore?"

Su Luo shut up uncomfortable, Lu Kui took the opportunity to pull Su Luo away.The young policeman understood Su Luo's loud roar, stopped the car that was going to the funeral home, opened the body bag, disregarded the exclamation of relatives and the dissuasion of the police, and opened the young man's mouth.The corpse that had been soaked for a while was very stiff, and the young policeman had to pry it open with great effort.

"Xiao Chen! What are you doing!" The captain next to him wanted to drag the person who got into the car.

Xiao Chen carefully searched for something in the mouth of the man's corpse, but after carefully looking at it several times, there was nothing in his mouth.Just when Xiao Chen was about to give up, the captain pulled him up, and from a higher and oblique angle, Xiao Chen saw something bright and reflective in the man's throat. "Captain! If there is something, call the forensic doctor to come over with tweezers!"

As soon as the captain heard the situation, he called the forensic doctor decisively. The forensic doctor used a flashlight and tweezers to take out a ring from the man's throat—a platinum ring with fine diamonds.

After showing it to the family members for identification, no one recognized the platinum ring, and the size obviously did not match the size of the dead body.Who would kill himself with a ring in his mouth?So there was a possibility of homicide in the case.

The captain patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder: "Not bad, as expected of a young man who graduated from a famous foreign university, how could he think that there is something in the mouth of the corpse?"

Xiao Chen rubbed his head and couldn't answer, the two men who just appeared have disappeared...
