Gu Xizhou: "..." What has life done to you?Let you, a local tyrant, think that picking locks is a necessary skill?

Fang Zhi: "..." My handcuffs were about to move.

"Come on, go in and have a look first." Si Yu ignored Gu Xizhou and Fang Zhi, and said to a few people around, "Go in and see if there are any clues."

So several people walked in together.

Gu Xizhou walked in front of the few people, and he could smell a dusty smell as soon as he walked in.

The first thing that catches the eye is the simple furnishings, wooden sofa, large wooden square table, a few benches, old and yellowed newspapers are pasted on the window facing the courtyard, and there are two beds in the two rooms inside. , There is a wooden chair in one of the rooms, the people who made it are not good at making it, and the table and chairs are very rough.

Xie Wenhuo and others followed behind Gu Xizhou, and looked carefully at the furnishings in this room, but they didn't see anything special, which was completely in line with what the 'woman' told Gu Xizhou. The clothes and things left belonged to the two old people. Obviously, there were only traces of the life of the two old people here, and there was nothing special about it.

Together, they rummaged through all the drawers and furniture in the closed house, most of which were daily necessities, which were very ordinary.

"Contact book!" Fang Zhi found an address book under the landline, with phone numbers written on it, obviously left by two old people.

After searching for a while, Gu Xizhou and the others found the phone number of the family surnamed Tian.

Son's phone number: *****

Gu Xizhou and the others looked at each other, and one of the men asked Chi: "After so many years, is this call still available?"

Leaving aside whether the phone can be reached or not, it is not clear whether the person who answered the phone is a ghost or not. The people around saw the phone number and hesitated.

At this time, Si Yu took out the mobile phone in his bag, and dialed the number in the address book without saying anything.

buzzing-

The phone is on!

"Hello, who are you looking for?" A lazy male voice sounded.

Gu Xizhou heard that Si Yu made up an identity and lied that he was from the man's hometown, "Hello, I'm sorry to call you suddenly."

"Oh, fellow? What's the matter?"

Si Yu: "I heard that your family has a very expensive dog. I want to ask if it has any puppies. I just want to raise one here. I'm willing to spend money to buy it! Is it possible?"

"Oh... You said it was the Samoyed! That dog died last year, didn't you know? And Xiaobai is a male dog and can't give birth to puppies."

"Male dog? How did it die?"

When Gu Xizhou heard the word "male dog", he hummed. Male dogs can't give birth to children, so they can't protect their cubs and bite people like bitches.

"During the National Day last year, we went back to our hometown with Xiaobai. I don't know what happened to Xiaobai. He suddenly bit people, even seven or eight children. When we came back, the dog had already been beaten to death by several neighbors in the yard. No matter what happened, it was our fault, and after we lost money, we hurriedly buried Xiaobai."

"Why did the dog bite? Do you know?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? Xiaobai has always been very obedient at home and never bites anyone."

"Well... Although it likes to bite sofas, floors, shoes, clothes, etc., it doesn't bite people. Even if my second child sits on its head, pulls its fur, and steps on its tail every day at home, Xiaobai won't make trouble. He didn't blush just once. Xiaobai is naughty, but he will never bite for no reason, I still believe it."

"Actually, I have always suspected that it was bitten by those half-grown children who provoked it. Unfortunately, our family has to apologize and lose money."

Si Yu hung up the phone, and the people around were silent for a while.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with this Tian family. The problem lies in the poisoned dog." Xie Wenhuo looked at the address book and said.

Xiao Hua held Xue Xiao's sleeve tightly, and said with some fear: "Those dogs? Then, could they be the life of the person who poisoned them?"

The little painting who spoke was the girl who had been crying all the time.

Xie Wenhuo heard the words, but remained silent.

Leaving Tian's house, several people got together again.

The discussion was fruitless, and in the end they could only go home and ask the npc parents about the situation.

Gu Xizhou had just finished taking a shower, and the woman thoughtfully gave him a set of pajamas, "Baby, come here, mother is here to bring you clothes, after taking a shower, blow dry your hair, don't catch a cold."

Gu Xizhou nodded. Although the person in front of him was an NPC, women were really good to children.

It's National Day now, and Gu Xizhou's two NPC parents are at home. The middle-aged man Gu Xizhou first met was sitting next to him, flipping through a newspaper in his hand. When Gu Xizhou came out, the man stopped him.

"Cub, the children of the Li family and the Liu family haven't been found yet, so don't go out casually at night, pay attention to safety, you know?" the middle-aged man gently urged.

Gu Xizhou: "Yes."

Man: "If something happens, just call Mom and Dad, we will protect you."

The man's eyes were sincere and his tone of voice was calm. He looked at Gu Xizhou with a pair of eyes full of love. However, when Gu Xizhou heard this sentence, he thought about the two situations of asking the npc to protect himself and himself to protect himself. more reliable.

After hearing the advice from the men and women, Gu Xizhou responded, and soon Si Yu and Fang Zhi came to look for him at the same time, and chatted with men and women.

"Uncle and aunt, do you know what happened to the dead dog in the Tian family? It bit us as soon as it came to our yard?"

With a clean voice, Gu Xizhou didn't need to look to know that Si Yu was getting mad again. Gu Xizhou turned his head and looked silently at Si Yu, who was smiling with his eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly pulled.

Sao, bro.

The woman showed no signs of being caught, and frowned and said, "What's the reason? That dog has a bad personality. Dogs in the city are squeamish. They don't eat leftovers. They have to eat canned food, dog food, or soil." Good dog, just eat some leftovers."

"I heard that the dog liked to bite things when it was at home, because it was beaten several times. When Tian came back to the National Day that year, he brought the dog back with him."

"It didn't eat on the first day, and barked every day, at night, and during the day, making people in the yard unable to sleep because of the noise."

"It barked violently when it saw you children, and it was very fierce. The Tian family beat it several times because of this, but it kept barking at night, and the eight dogs in the yard also barked, not only in our yard. , the neighbors next door have opinions."

"I remember that Tian's family couldn't help it, so they decided to go back to the city early. They were going to a relative's house that day, so there was no one at home at the time, and you boys were at home. The dog bit the rope and chased you madly. Well, the dogs at home were also bitten by it to protect you, and the dog bites people so hard that they don't want to let go! It's like having a deep hatred with you."

"Until we beat him to death with a shoulder pole, the dog didn't let go. At that time, the dog was covered in blood, and the blood splashed all over the yard."

The woman recalled that she still remembers that scene vividly.

The dog was so ruthless that all the bones were broken in the end, and it still bit the Li family's child fiercely, and did not let go. In the end, it was beaten bloody and bloody, and they rescued the Li family's child from the dog's mouth.

"Thank you, auntie." Si Yu's handsome brows were slightly frowned, and the situation was similar to what the male master of the Tian family said.

After the three left, they told Xie Wenhuo and others what they had just asked.

That Samoyed may be unaccustomed to the life here, barking during the day and night, which annoyed the children in the yard. They may have beaten the dog when the Tian family was away. The dog bit the rope in retaliation People, the last Samoyed was beaten to death.

And because the dozen or so children had been bitten by a dog, they also had a psychological shadow on the domestic dog at home. They were afraid when they heard the dog bark, so after discussing with the children, they poisoned the domestic dog.

Xiaohua sighed a little, "Those eight dogs protected them from being poisoned to death, maybe it's really because of this, they want revenge..."

The people around were silent for a while, and it is true that the eight dogs did nothing wrong. From the woman's words, it can be known that the eight dogs not only did not bite people, but stood up to protect them when the Samoyed bit a few children. In the end, he was poisoned to death by his master.

They therefore feel resentment, which is justified.

"Go to sleep." Xie Wenhuo had a cigarette in his mouth, and he should have brought it with the mobile phone. He smoked the cigarette and said lightly.

The crowd dispersed, and the three of Gu Xizhou had just closed the door for a while, when suddenly there was a scream outside the yard!

"what--"

At the same time, dogs barking sounded throughout the yard. The barking kept coming and going, but it disappeared quickly.

Before Fang Zhi had time to react, Gu Xizhou had already opened the door and rushed into the yard. In the darkness, there was the sound of pattering footsteps from the alleyway. Xiaohua stood by the corridor, her eyes showing fear and panic, "Yes , There is a dog... there is a dog outside...it..."

Xie Wenhuo, Xue Xiao and the others also all went to the yard, and saw scarlet blood flowing out of the alleyway, and blood spattered out from time to time, as if something was biting, making the sound of bones being crunched .

Just as Gu Xizhou was about to take a step forward, Si Yu reached out to stop him, "Don't go out."

Gu Xizhou glanced at Si Yu, did not stop, but took two steps in three steps at the same time. In the darkness, he vaguely saw a pair of eyes looking at him. Gu Xizhou's feet took a step, and suddenly the dog barking sounded again, all around him It seems that there are seven or eight dogs barking at the same time!

"Are you looking for death?" Si Yu yelled at Gu Xizhou unceremoniously, and at the same time pulled him into the yard. When he entered the yard, the barking of the dog stopped.

"Woo woo... woo woo..."

"What did you see?" Si Yu asked.

Gu Xizhou shook his head and said, "It's too dark, I couldn't see clearly, I only saw a pair of eyes."

After hearing Gu Xizhou's words, Xie Wenhuo turned to look at Xiaohua, grabbed her collar, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Xiao Hua was trembling all over, pointing outside: "I, I saw it, it was dogs, there were dogs, they rushed out suddenly, bit Haige...dragged...dragged him out..."

The sound of gnawing bones lasted for a long, long time, as if an animal was chewing those bones carefully, those sounds were always there, Gu Xizhou listened to it for a long time, originally wanted to speak Xiaohua was frightened by this sound Trembling, broke down and cried.

Finally, when it was almost dawn, the voice gradually disappeared, but Xiaohua's lips turned pale and she couldn't say a word. In the end, they had to let Xue Xiao, the only woman, stay with her. Xue Xiao patiently comforted Xiaohua for a long time, this girl mood stabilized.

"We left Brother Xie's room just now. I wanted to go to the bathroom, but I was afraid by myself, so I asked Brother Hai to accompany me. He stood there waiting for me. When I came out, I saw... those dogs biting him. .” Xiaohua said.

Gu Xizhou glanced at Xiao Hua in surprise, and asked, "Why doesn't he call himself?"

Xiao Hua: "I can't bark... a dog bit... bit his neck, he can't speak..." Xiao Hua said here, crying bitterly, "It's all my fault, if I don't ask Hai Ge to accompany me If I go to the bathroom, he won't die..."

Hearing Xiaohua's words, Xie Wenhuo's face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked outside.

"Did Xiaohai do anything special?" Xie Wenhuo's eyes were red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was eager to ask for proof of death conditions.

Xiao Hua recalled it carefully for a moment, and finally shook her head. Her face was pale, and she obviously had lingering fears. She swallowed and said, "No."

Apparently, several old people around showed disappointment. They didn't find the relevant death conditions, which was very unfavorable to them.

After about 10 minutes, it was already bright.

Gu Xizhou and the others saw that the corpse on the alleyway was similar to the one yesterday. The body was mutilated, and the death was extremely tragic. Blood was splashed all over the floor, and the bitten off head was just casually thrown in the corner.

Seeing such a tragic scene, one of the men turned pale, as if he would faint at any moment.

After breakfast, Xie Wenhuo took people out to inquire about the news, but there was no valuable news.

When they came back, the corpses and blood disappeared in the alley at the same time. Like the man yesterday, it was only at noon that they found another child missing in the yard.

……

In Xie Wenhuo's room, several people were sullen, and one of them said uncertainly: "We are running around like headless chickens now."

"Could it be that they have to fight their lives for their lives so that they can appease their hatred?"

Eight dogs, life for life, that is, at least eight people must die.

There are eleven people who came here. If it is really necessary to risk their lives, then only three people can leave alive!

"We didn't poison them, why!"

As soon as this remark came out, the people around became a little nervous, and Xiaohua started crying again. Xie Wenhuo glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later, and continue to inquire about things related to dogs in the afternoon."

after lunch.

Gu Xizhou and the others followed Xie Wenhuo and asked the npc at home about the dog, but there was no new information.

Because they are all local dogs, and the people in the small town don't pay much attention to these things. When the dogs die, the bodies are thrown away casually, let alone a few dogs that were poisoned to death. remain.

The conditions of death were not found out last night, so tonight Gu Xizhou could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the team was very oppressive, probably because that thing could enter and leave the hospital at will, so that night, Gu Xizhou glanced at a few rooms outside the window. The lights were still on, only the lights in Gu Xizhou's room were turned off.

Si Yu and Fang Zhi were lying on either side of him. Fang Zhi was similar to the others, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He looked at Si Yu, who had already closed his eyes and rested, brewing sleep.

Gu Xizhou thought about the information collected in the past two days, and was a little uncertain.

Although Gu Xizhou only had a quick glance last night, he was sure that he only saw a pair of eyes, but at that time he did hear the barking of countless dogs.

It was around three o'clock in the morning, and Gu Xizhou, who was sleeping in a daze, heard a scream!

The scream came from the room diagonally opposite, and Gu Xizhou subconsciously got up and rushed over. The difference from last night was that no one in the other rooms left his room, but someone opened the window.

"What's going on?" Gu Xizhou kicked away the room where he was calling for help. There was a man and a woman in the room, and the woman was crying and pointing to the yard, "There are...there are dogs, I saw them, they...they are looking inside! "

Gu Xizhou looked at Xiao Hua who was crying hoarsely, she pointed out tremblingly, but Gu Xi took a look, there was nothing outside.

"Ah! They're coming!" Xiao Hua cried, she pushed the man beside her away, and rushed out frantically, at the same time, she anxiously shouted at Gu Xizhou, the three of them and the man, "Run! They're coming!" Behind you!"

Gu Xizhou saw any shadows, as if only Xiaohua could see those dogs, but that's it, in the sudden silent night, the barking of dogs just confirmed Xiaohua's words!At this moment, there seemed to be countless dogs yelling in the yard, which made the man tremble subconsciously and collapsed on the ground.

When Gu Xizhou chased him out, Xiao Hua had disappeared.

After returning to the room, Gu Xizhou frowned and said to Si Yu, "Is there a problem with the direction we are looking for?"

Si Yu nodded slightly, "I also think there is a problem. The mission world will never allow us to die with our lives. Too many people will die like that."

At this time, Gu Xizhou suddenly looked at Fang Zhi, and Fang Zhi suddenly opened the drawer in the room and started searching everywhere.

Seeing him like this, Gu Xizhou smiled, "What are you doing?"

Fang Zhi said: "Changing the direction, the Tian family has no clues, maybe we have them in our own family, and didn't Brother Si say that? The mission world will not give a condition of death."

Gu Xizhou nodded, and accompanied Fang Zhi to search in the room, but unfortunately there was nothing useful in Gu Xizhou's room.

In the early morning, everyone gathered together again, and someone whispered: "I think that Xiaohua and Xiaohai must have touched the mortal condition. Otherwise, the rest of us didn't see that thing, only she saw it." !"

But a few people recalled Xiao Hua and Xiao Hai, neither of them had done anything special, they had been with them all the time, if it was true that they triggered the death condition, then all of them should have triggered it The conditions are right.

In the morning, Gu Xizhou refused to go out with Xie Wenhuo and the others to inquire about the news, and chose to search at home, and finally found a photo in a photo album in Fang Zhi's room.

There are thirteen nine- and ten-year-old children in the photo, comparing scissors hands to the camera. The background is a lush grove, nothing special, but because he didn't want to miss any clues, Gu Xizhou took the photo and looked for his own. npc mother.

After seeing the photo, the woman said, "This photo should have been taken when you went to play on Muguan Mountain."

Photos don't seem to be of much use.

Until late afternoon, Gu Xizhou did not find any other useful clues.

The three of Gu Xizhou were in trouble, when there were whispering voices outside, the voice was very familiar, it seemed that Xue Xiao was talking to someone.

When they opened the door, they saw Xie Wenhuo and others who came back. Xie Wenhuo had a smile in his eyes, and raised his chin, "Guess who we found?"

Gu Xizhou glanced at him, "?"

"Her?" Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment, seeing Xiaohua coming out from behind Xue Xiao, "You're fine!"

Xiao Hua was covered in blood, but it was obvious that someone had treated her wound. She was sobbing and trembling all over her body, obviously she hadn't recovered from what happened last night.

"I don't know what happened, but I saw those dogs staring at me. I was very scared. I lost my mind at that time, so I kept running outside," Xiaohua said in a trembling voice.

"I ran to the edge of the town, and saw the mountain we climbed during the day. I was chased... I was in a hurry, so I went up! Then those things kept calling at the bottom of the mountain, and they didn't go up. I stayed on the mountain all night, and I didn't dare to come out until this morning when I heard Brother Xie's voice."

Because Xie Wenhuo confirmed a condition, he said very easily: "Even if those things find us, we don't have to be afraid, they dare not go to Muguan Mountain."

He had a cigarette in his mouth, and his expression was freehand and a little lazy.

Because he found the solution, Xie Wenhuo was in a much better mood. After getting rid of his previous unhappiness, he started to pack his things in the afternoon, preparing to live on Muguan Mountain at night, and he simply left this world after seven days.

The three of Gu Xizhou looked at each other, and Gu Xizhou asked Si Yu: "You have experienced many worlds, what do you think? We want to go with them?"

"I don't want to go out. It's dangerous to think about being on the mountain in the middle of the night, and the name of that mountain sounds unlucky." Si Yu said lightly.

Fang Zhi: "Unlucky?"

Fang Zhi was a little impressed by the name of that mountain, Muguan Mountain, and the combination of the two words Muguan is the coffin of the coffin, which is indeed very unlucky.

Gu Xizhou nodded, "I don't want to go up the mountain either."

The three of them decided to stay in the yard. Gu Xizhou believed the words of those npcs, it was safe to stay in the yard, even if it was not safe, as long as there were no rules like Broken Mirror, Gu Xizhou could handle it.

Seeing that the three refused, Xie Wenhuo didn't make much persuasion, and took the others to Muguan Mountain before dark.

The three of Gu Xizhou went back to the room directly. Gu Xizhou took the photo and looked left and right. There was indeed nothing special about it.

"I always think that girl is weird." Gu Xizhou frowned and glanced outside at the still dark sky, and said, "She said there were many dogs chasing her, but I obviously only saw one pair of eyes."

"It's not necessarily true. There were indeed a lot of dogs barking at the time."

Just as Gu Xizhou put it down, he suddenly picked up the photo again.

"What?" Si Yu looked at Gu Xizhou strangely.

Gu Xizhou said: "This photo is wrong!"

"Ok?"

"This picture is not 13 people, there should be 14 people."

Fang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then recalled, and said, "There's another person who takes pictures!"

Gu Xizhou nodded, he rushed to the living room next door, found the npc parents who were watching TV, and asked.

"It seems so..." The woman stared at the photo for a while, "No one went to the mountains with you at that time, and it was busy at that time... Wait... I think I remembered!"

The woman clapped her hands and said, "The one who took the photo for you is the little girl from the Tian family!"

Gu Xizhou was taken aback for a moment, "The daughter of the Tian family?"

"That's right! It's that very well-behaved little girl who lived in our yard when she was a child. Oh, it's normal if you don't remember. When you were in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, that little girl was abducted."

"Abducted?"

The woman sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know if he was abducted, but I just couldn't find it, just like the children from other families, I couldn't find it."

Si Yu suddenly sat up and said, "There is something wrong with that little painting!"
