Non-Human Sub-district Office

The fire and rain outside stopped at the same time.

The duration of this rain was not short, and it was completely dark when it stopped.

Lin Mu glanced at the dog who was sleeping very soundly on an old blanket that had been folded several times, and opened the door, ready to see what was going on first.

The clouds dissipated and the mist cleared, and there was a bright river of stars in the middle of the night, and the entire sky was washed out extremely clearly.

Those days and nights that had been burning for a long time were returned to ashes, falling inside and outside the courtyard, and growing again, dots of small white flowers bloomed in the night, reflecting cold white fluorescence.

Lin Mu turned on the lights in the yard, walked to the outside of the yard, and carefully looked around.

Ordinary flowers and plants showed no sign of being burned at all, but in the places where the growth was dense in the morning and evening, there were a lot of black ashes, which flew up when the wind blew.

These ashes are probably what Dahei said - demons and ghosts who have done bad things.

The ashes left behind were quite heavy, and Lin Mu didn't dare to think about how much was burned, and he didn't understand why so many ghosts and ghosts suddenly appeared.

In the first 20 years of his life, he obviously lived in peace and ease, and he never encountered any monsters or ghosts.

Lin Mu looked at the ashes flying lightly towards his eyes, and subconsciously felt a little familiar, but after a closer look, he realized that it looked like the bag of seeds that Dahei had given him before.

forest:"……"

It means that I walked all the way with a bag of ashes and buried them in my yard.

Lin Mu hissed lightly, staring at the pile of ashes outside the house, after much deliberation, he still felt that it should not be wasted.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Mu simply went back to the house to get a small brush and a garbage shovel in his hand, went back to the outside of the yard, rolled up his sleeves and swept up the ashes.

Lin Mu didn't plan to store the ashes, so he swept around his yard, holding the garbage shovel piled up with ashes, circled around the yard, and drew a crooked edge on the outside of his circular yard , reluctantly painted into a sun.

After painting the sun and looking at the newly grown little white flowers, Lin Mu went back to the house contentedly, and then carefully picked up the dog who was sleeping soundly: "Go! Take you to the hospital!"

Yan Xuanjing woke up suddenly, and pressed his paw on Lin Mu's face with his backhand. Realizing that the half-demon showed no malice, he quickly retracted the protruding claw, pressed the pad of the sole of his foot on it, and struggled.

Lin Mu didn't realize that he was almost disfigured just now. After being pinned on his face, he tilted his head back in a panic, put down the struggling dog, and let out a little gasp after glancing at its front paws.

The swollen right front paw had subsided, and the horrific red-purple color had faded because of the swelling.

The left paw was not as bloody and bloody as before, and scabs had formed after he carefully cleaned it, and the condition seemed to be much better.

Seeing this situation, Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that he didn't cause secondary damage because of his tampering.

"But I still have to go to the hospital." Lin Mu said.

No matter how well he handles it, he will not be as good as a doctor, not to mention that he has to give the dog a full set of examinations, internal and external deworming vaccines and the like-although it is not so particular about raising dogs in rural areas, but the dog he picked up No matter how you look at it, you don't want to be a native dog that can be raised rough.

It looks like a half-sized Samoyed, with slightly pointed ears and dark eyes that are quite spiritual, even though the fur has been cut into holes by the trees, it still can't stop it from being beautiful.

It looks like a good-looking breed of dog. This kind of dog is generally very delicate. It is not as resistant to falls and beatings as Dahei's type of big wolfhound, and can also guard the house.

Like this kind of docile pet dog, Lin Mu has also seen news such as "thieves burglarized the house and the owner's pet dog greeted him with slippers". Basically, such a pissy housekeeper can't be expected, he can only be a dog son Pampering and raising barely maintains a life like this.

Lin Mu leaned closer to check the dog's exposed wounds again, and reiterated, "I have to go to the hospital."

Yan Xuanjing didn't know much about the Central Plains, but he did understand the term hospital.

He raised his paw and pressed it on Lin Mu's face again, expressing his rejection.

He is a majestic nine-tailed fox, a big monster, and his skin trauma will heal in a day or two, so there is no need to go to a hospital.

A dark wound that won't heal within a day or two needs to be recuperated, and it's useless to go to a human hospital.

Lin Mu's cheeks turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to carefully hold the dog's paw, met its gaze, blinked, and asked tentatively, "Aren't you going?"

Yan Xuanjing pulled out his paw from Lin Mu's hand, and pressed it on his face again.

Lin Mu paused, then asked again: "Go?"

The dog withdrew its paw.

Lin Mu was stunned for a while, and felt that this was really wrong.

He even felt that the dog seemed to be communicating with him.

No, it seemed to be quite spiritual when I picked it up yesterday.

Lin Mu frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple.

He looked at the dog for a while, and decided to follow the dog's wishes first, not to go to the hospital, and ask Dahei about the dog tomorrow.

"That's fine." Lin Mu straightened up, glanced at the time, and it was quite late, "Go to bed first."

Yan Xuanjing watched Lin Mu go to close the gate, then turned around and picked him up with a fox and a blanket in his arms, and went up the stairs with a windy walk.

Lin Mu directly moved the dog into his room.

Lin Shu's room is not small, and it is more than enough to add an extra dog.

He looked at the dog who had been looking around after he moved it up, thought for a while, and explained: "I'm a very light sleeper. If there is something going on at night, I can wake up if there is any movement."

In any case, this is still a wounded person, so he needs to be taken care of.

Anyway, the dog was not burned day and night, Lin Mu felt that the problem was not serious.

He settled the dog, took a shower, dried his hair and lay on the bed, saying good night to the dog next to him.

After speaking, he was stunned for a while, tilted his head and looked at the ball of fluff lying on the blanket for a while, then suddenly laughed, and turned off the light when the dog looked up.

Lin Mu felt that his happiness was really simple.

It's nice to have someone to say goodnight to before going to bed.

After his mother left, no one would come to say good night to him every time before going to bed, in the university dormitory, the roommates would rub their arms and say good night to big men every day in the first semester. I always feel gay, Lin Mu Just shut up.

As a result, after being alone for a long time now, even seeing a dog has a beautiful face, and saying goodnight to the dog makes him physically and mentally happy.

Lin Mu lay down on the bed, looked at the dog who was still very white in the dark room, closed his eyes happily, and fell asleep with the sound of insects and frogs on his pillow.

Not long after Lin Mu fell asleep, Yan Xuanjing, who was also resting on the blanket with his eyes closed, raised his ears, and suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes glowing green in the darkness.

Lin Mu's bed was next to the window, and at this moment, a fat little hand was protruding from the window sill, and some red spots were dangling in the dim light. After a while, another little hand came up.

Immediately afterwards, a small head poked up on the window sill, it was a little doll with a bunch of small red fruits on its head, with a little baby fat on its face, it was icy and cute, with a beautiful flower branch in its mouth.

Right now, he was struggling to probe the edge of the window sill, trying to see the situation in the room clearly.

With this probe, he met the eyes of the nine-tailed fox in the room.

Yan Xuanjing silently and dignifiedly looked at the little doll who climbed the window, and slightly let go of his restrained breath.

The little baby was startled and shivered suddenly, his two short hands were not steady, and he fell from the window sill on the second floor, landed on the canopy built in front of the forest and rolled to the ground again, making a slight muffled sound.

Yan Xuanjing recognized this smell, it was the smell of ginseng dolls.

There is a morning and evening here, and it is quite normal that there will be well-informed little monsters running over to seek shelter.

After all, those weak monsters basically have no ability to do evil, and they are treated as a nutritious meal by some fierce monsters. It is neither beneficial nor harmful for them to come to Chaomu's protection circle.

Yan Xuanjing slowly withdrew his gaze from the window sill, and glanced at Lin Shu. This half-demon who claims to be a light sleeper remained motionless during the process of the ginseng doll climbing up the window and then falling down, not even changing his breathing. , slept extremely sweetly.

Yan Xuanjing: "..."

Oh, half-demon.

He withdrew his gaze and lay down again.

Early the next morning, Lin Mu got up to wash up, stewed a pot of bone soup, steamed buns and rice, took the buns in his mouth, brought the bone soup and rice upstairs to Gou Zi, and carefully inspected Gou Zi Also exposed wounds.

The swollen right front leg was no longer abnormal, and the blood scab on the left paw had already clotted, so it didn't look so miserable.

The speed and extent of recovery have been surprisingly good.

"It seems that there is really no need to go to the hospital." Lin Mu muttered, withdrew his hand to examine the wound, hesitated, and said, "I have something to go out today, and I will leave a small door for you. If you want to leave, you can Go out through the door on the left end of the first floor."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he looked at the dog, pursed his lips, and added, "But I still hope you can stay."

Yan Xuanjing's two front paws overlapped, looking dignifiedly at Lin Shu who turned his head to pack his things after speaking, his ears trembled slightly.

Lin Mu passed by his mother's studio, glanced at the few notebooks he had put on the table yesterday and hadn't opened them again, paused, closed the door quietly, turned around and went downstairs.

The weather was fine today, Lin Mu opened the gate, pushed the little eDonkey and left the house.

He is still planning to go to the office today. Although it is not yet the official work date, Lin Mu feels that a proper favor is necessary.

For example, help repair things like doors and windows, and plant some plants to cover up defects that cannot be repaired, such as exterior walls.

At least it doesn't look so shabby.

After he left, Yan Xuanjing finished the bowl of bone soup and rice in a leisurely manner, stood up and shook his left paw to shake off the congealed blood scab on his left paw, then went downstairs as well, and left through the door that Lin Mu said go out.

When passing by the main entrance of the yard, he turned his head and saw the flower branches inserted on the front wooden door, and a few white and tender ginseng whiskers on the flower branches.

This is the certificate of the ginseng doll, and the nine-tailed fox who knows the rules of monsters knows it very well.

It's a pity that Lin Mu left in a hurry and didn't notice anything extra on the door of his house.

Yan Xuanjing glanced at it casually, but also pretended that he didn't see anything, turned his head and left.

He has something to do too.

——About the channel between the Central Plains and the Great Wilderness.

There are also monsters responsible for guarding the Central Plains. Yan Xuanjing got an address from his own father before coming here.

Qingyao Street Office, No. 404, Qingyao Road, Zhongyuan District, City A.

This is the address of the monster in charge of guarding the passage in the Central Plains.

One person and one fox walked without turning their heads. The wind swept across the empty courtyard and a small bunch of red ginseng seeds hidden under the vines of the fence, taking away a whimper of grievance.

The author has something to say: Ginseng doll: button up but not slip up
