Seeing Qin Feng's convulsive message, he put the phone back in his pocket.Walking around, I took out my mobile phone and took out the photos of the victims. I walked into several shops that were still open, and asked if I had seen these little girls. The shop owners said that they saw hundreds of people every day in the shop. I can recall everything.He wanted to get surveillance cameras, but these shops were small businesses. The camera broke once, and there was nothing valuable in the store for the thief to worry about. If it broke, he didn’t bother to change it. Hanging it on the wall was useless, so Zhou Yuan had no choice but to give up.

After walking around, for some reason, I came to the door of a pet shop that was still open. The WeChat notification sound was still ringing. Zhou Yuan walked into the pet shop and said to the shop owner inexperiencedly: "Give me a set of daily necessities for raising dogs." .”

After a while, Zhou Yuan walked towards the side of the road where he put his car with his big bag in his hands. He walked a little fast, and the dog food he was clutching in his hand fell off.Zhou Yuan sighed, and was about to put down the dog cage, kennel, and dog leash in his hands to get the dog food, when suddenly a pair of hands that were chapped from hard work picked up the dropped bag of dog food, and handed it to Zhou Yuan: "I ran out to buy dog ​​supplies during Chinese New Year. Did you just get a dog?"

Zhou Yuan took the dog food, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. It was an elderly sanitation worker who was sweeping the street with a big broom at the moment.Zhou Yuan nodded his thanks to the sanitation worker aunt: "My friend just gave me an ugly dog."

"But if you like it, then it's not ugly." The old aunt laughed, and began to clean up the garbage on the street again. While sweeping, she said without raising her head, "My family used to have a dog. My son can I like it, it’s good for it, but after all, this dog came to my house halfway, and I didn’t know how to raise it, so it bit my son. Alas, although my son likes it very much, we still discussed it and sent it to other more People who know how to raise dogs. If you raise a dog, you have to teach it not to bite people, or you will hurt yourself and it.”

Hearing what the sweeping aunt seemed to be talking to herself, Zhou Yuan stopped talking, nodded to the old aunt, and returned to the car with big bags and small bags. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Qin Feng: "Dog food, I have already bought the dog cage, kennel, and dog rope. You can deliver it to the gate of Liufang Temple at six o’clock. I will take it to the pet shop to take a bath and kill insects. Hurry up, I will drive back now, or you will continue to keep it .”

As soon as he heard the news, Qin Feng seemed to be blown up, sent more than a dozen emoticons, and said excitedly: "I knew A Yuan that you would adopt this poor homeless dog, and I will immediately launch a rocket to your temple. "

Before driving, Zhou Yuan replied to Qin Feng: "But this dog is really ugly. It has a long mouth and a long face, like a horse's face. After meeting, I may dislike it even more."

"How good-looking a stray dog ​​do you want? A good-looking dog won't stray anymore." Qin Feng rolled his eyes a few times.

Zhou Yuan decided to ignore Qin Feng. He looked back at the figure of the old aunt who was still hunched over and sweeping the street during the Chinese New Year holiday, started the car, and drove towards Liufang Temple.

At [-]:[-], Qin Feng finally took the dog to Liufang Temple.Zhou Yuan had been standing at the door in the wind and cold for more than ten minutes. He stared impatiently at Qin Feng who was walking up slowly, and turned the corner of his eyes to see the dirty stray dog ​​behind him. On the dog, he raised his eyebrows in disgust, "It's uglier than I think, if I get into my car directly, will it pollute my car?"

"Probably." Qin Feng replied angrily.

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Qin Feng, looked at Qin Feng with horror, and asked him what he wanted to do, Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched, "Ah Feng, you carry the dog in the car, I don't mind letting you sit My car."

"Don't say whether it is willing to let me hold it, at least I don't want to hold a stray dog ​​that looks like it hasn't been bathed for many years. If you want to adopt it, you can adopt it. If you don't adopt it, you can drive it away. Anyway, I brought it here. I'm going home now, let's go!" Wouldn't it kill him to let him hold a dog with a lot of lice and a smelly smell?After the words fell, Qin Feng fled in despair.

Later, the WeChat group rang again, and Zhou Yuan sent him another message.

"I just took it to a pet shop for a bath. After a professional bath, my beauty has improved a little bit, but it's still ugly." Following these words, Zhou Yuan posted a few photos of stray dogs in the group, and continued: " But there is a fleshy ball on my leg, I don’t know if it’s a tumor, and the pet store doesn’t know what it is, so they told me to take it to the pet hospital.”

"So troublesome? It costs money to take it to the hospital? You can just throw it away."

Zhou Yuan didn't answer Qin Feng's words, he said: "No, I was added to the car when I got in the car, it is my dog. I am a little worried that it is dead, and I will deal with the situation in the bureau tomorrow." Take it to the pet hospital."

Putting the dog in the temple, this stray dog ​​probably experienced too much wind and rain in the past, so someone took him in, and he was very grateful.Zhou Yuan divided it into several bathroom areas, regardless of whether it understood it or not, told it some rules about living with him in the temple, and then went back to the room to deal with the bureau's affairs.

He took out the audio, put an external speaker on the computer, sat on the chair, closed his eyes and listened quietly.All kinds of car sounds, the screams of the victims, looped over and over again, echoing and circling in his room over and over again, rippling and undulating in his mind.

What do the sounds in the five recorded audios have in common?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the sudden "dong dong" sound broke the panic-stricken scream and brought Zhou Yuan back to his thoughts.When he opened the door, it was Uncle Deng standing by the door.

The audio in the room was still playing, Uncle Deng looked sideways at the room slightly, and suddenly laughed.He has known Zhou Yuan for more than ten years, and he is no stranger to these strange behaviors.He laughed and said: "I just heard the sound of the garbage truck. I thought the garbage truck came to take out the garbage so early today. I hurried out the door, but I didn't see the sound of the garbage truck. I heard the voice wrong." He paused, and then said: "But you can take out the garbage truck in your room, I don't know when that truck will come to collect garbage, I just take it out when I go back."

Zhou Yuan tied up the garbage bag in the room and handed it to Uncle Deng, "Thank you, be careful on the way back."

"Okay, it's better for you to rest earlier and stay up less late. After you come back this year, you seem to have lost a lot of weight." Uncle Deng took a few steps with the garbage and quickly turned around and asked, "By the way, do you want me to come over tomorrow?" Bring you some pumpkin porridge?"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand: "No need, I'll go to the bureau to eat tomorrow."

After sending Uncle Deng out of the temple, Zhou Yuan saw him put the garbage bag in the trash can opposite the temple gate and strode downhill to his residence, then he turned around and bolted the temple gate, and went Go to the locked room at the far end of the temple.

It was a room for enshrining signatures. Zhou Yuan walked in and closed the door. There was only a slightly dim light inside. As soon as the light was turned on, the front three sides of wooden grids filled with signatures were reflected. wall.A small incense burner was placed on each wooden grid. Instead of incense, a black wooden stick was inserted into the incense burner, and behind the wooden stick was a piece of red paper with densely written words, It's just that looking at the past, each piece of writing on the red paper behind the wooden grid is only half written...

Zhou Yuan walked up to one of the wooden grids, and fixedly looked at the sign sticking on the incense burner. The sign read: Ugly female body exposed.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pushed the wooden lattice. He thought that the fixed wooden lattice was like a door. When it opened to both sides, a doll made of wood appeared inside. , The shape and expression look like a replica.

"Are you the avenger, or the victim?" Zhou Yuan looked at the old wooden doll covered in red paint expressionlessly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but felt that the wooden doll's eyeballs moved up and down as soon as his voice fell. Shake it.

Zhou Yuan and the terrifying mahogany doll looked at each other for a moment, then reached out and pulled the wooden lattice, the wooden lattice was closed again, the female ugly doll was blocked behind the wooden lattice, Zhou Yuan turned around and walked towards the door , he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I will definitely find it this time."

He opened the aged thick wooden door, the "squeak" sound of the old shaft was accompanied by the sudden barking of dogs outside the door, the sound was like thunder, and at the same time, there was another slight sound in the room. Zhou Yuan turned his head and found that the wooden lattice where the female clown had opened a gap for some reason, and when he looked into the exposed space, he felt that the female clown was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. , and the black stick that was originally inserted in the incense burner fell out at some point.

Zhou Yuan glanced at it, didn't stop there, turned off the light, locked the door, and walked towards the yard.

The barking of the dog became more and more vigorous. The temple had been quiet for too many years, and Zhou Yuan frowned unaccustomed to the sudden noise.Seeing him coming out, the dog immediately shook its head and tail, walked up to him coquettishly and stuck out its tongue, as if it wanted to rub Zhou Yuan's trousers to please him.

Zhou Yuan flashed hastily, and facing the dog with the soles of his feet in a "don't come over" posture, he frowned and said, "Hey, don't come over, although I've adopted you now, I'm not that familiar with you now .”

The puppy seemed to understand Zhou Yuan's words, thinking that Zhou Yuan disliked him, his tail drooped in an instant, and he pursed his lips in a sad and pitiful look at Zhou Yuan, lying half a meter away from him, motionless.

Zhou Yuan couldn't bear to see it as a dog that was seriously sad. He sighed and squatted down to watch it try to ease the relationship between his servant and dog: "I haven't named you yet, have you? If you follow me, you can't let it go." You have no name or surname, so your name is Apple, how about that?"

Dogs are also extremely spiritual creatures. Seeing Zhou Yuan's softened expression and tone, he knew that he was discussing something with him at the moment, and he shook his head like a pug, sticking his tongue out and smirking, regardless of whether he understood or not. .

After the name was chosen, Zhou Yuan stood up and asked Apple: "What were you barking at?"

Hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Apple rushed towards the temple gate as if flattering, barking non-stop outside the gate.He had never raised a dog and had heard about dogs protecting the family and the master. Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows and walked towards the door. The dog barked even harder.Zhou Yuan took a wooden stick from the side of the door and held it in his hand, slowly opened the door and looked out...

Liufang Temple is located in the suburbs, and there are only scattered houses every few hundred meters.Looking out at this time, the wind blows over the side branches and makes a rustling sound, especially in this winter night.Zhou Yuan looked around, but didn't see anyone. He looked down at Apple and raised his eyebrows slightly.

People are under the eaves, and dogs also look at people's faces.Apple knew that Zhou Yuan had misunderstood him, so he ran out of the temple gate and barked in the direction ahead. Zhou Yuan looked in the direction it was staring at, only to see the taillights of cars drifting away.

Turning around again, I found that the trash can that was full of garbage was empty, so I knew that it was a garbage truck that just passed by.Zhou Yuan turned around and walked into the door, and said to Apple: "Are you telling me that the garbage truck is here to take out the garbage?"

Apple grinned like a silly dog.

Zhou Yuan shuddered and let Apple in.As he walked towards the room, he muttered to himself: "Why does this dog look not only ugly, but also a little silly..."

The author has something to say: Apple: I am very cute.

Zhou Yuan: Poor and unloved?

Apple: ... I know I'm ugly and cute.

Zhou Yuan: You are quite self-aware about ugliness.But Moe, you seem to have misunderstood its meaning.
