Chapter 29 The Strange Barking Dog
Chapter 29 The Strange Barking Dog
The villagers of Luojia Village still maintain a semi-primitive living condition, and the village guest house is also a Tukang Datong shop, but fortunately only Shiqi and his party live there.
Uncle Luo took them to register at the front desk, and took them up to the second floor very enthusiastically, "You are the first ones to come this year, and there are still single rooms on the second floor. If you come a few days later, you probably don't have any."
The single room that Uncle Luo talked about is actually similar to the standard room in an ordinary hotel. There are also standard rooms for two people and standard rooms for three people.
After taking them to the room, Uncle Luo left his home address and left happily.
Xu Yao learned from the front desk that because there are many taboos in Luojia Village, after tourists come, they will first find a villager with fate to be a tour guide, and many villagers rely on this way to make money.
Uncle Luo should feel that he is destined to be with Shi Qi and the others, so he enthusiastically helps them.
It's a pity that Shiqi and the others have no money.
The temperature in this world is very low, but because Shiqi and the others are not from this world, they can't feel the cold. Although the guest house is leaking everywhere and the heating is insufficient, the three of them still sleep comfortably.
The first person to wake up the next morning was Xue Jiran, he was woken up by starvation.
Xue Jiran, who went downstairs to ask for breakfast, came back soon. At this time, Shi Qi and Xu Yao also woke up and were washing up.
"There are two more groups of tourists." Xue Jiran said while holding a vegetable cake, "the equipment is very complete, most of them are people in their 20s."
"male?"
"There are also a few girls."
Shi Qi said "um", "It has nothing to do with us, let's take a stroll in the village after eating later to see if there is anything unusual."
Xu Yao glanced out the window, "When did it start snowing again?"
"It started to fall when I got up just now, and I heard from the elder sister at the front desk that there has been snow these few days." Xue Jiran thought for a while and added, "I heard that there will be visions only after the snow stops."
"Oh," Xu Yao was a little disappointed, "Then we have to wait for a few days."
Shi Qi didn't speak, just ate the vegetable cake in his hand.
After the three of them finished their breakfast, they went downstairs.Sure enough, it was snowing heavily outside and the cold wind was raging. The eldest sister at the front desk saw that they were dressed so thinly, so she persuaded them a few words.
When going out, there happened to be a villager bringing a few tourists to stay. There was a very beautiful girl in the team, leaning tremblingly in the arms of a boy, she looked like a couple.
Shi Qi took a few more glances and was spotted by Xu Yao, "Damn, Seventh Sister, don't you want to empathize with someone else?"
I really admire Xu Yao's magical brain circuit, Shi Qi looked away, and said lightly, "You think too much."
Xue Jiran sneered, "I really admire your brain circuit, why didn't you just look at her because Shi Qi thought she was weird?"
"What's so strange, isn't it just a little bit prettier?" Xu Yao pouted, "It's not as good-looking as my seventh sister."
Xue Jiran convinced, "Strange doesn't mean beautiful, maybe it's strange in other places."
Shi Qi didn't want to hear the two of them quarreling, and they talked about each other behind their backs before they left. She felt that Xue Jiran really stayed with Xu Yao for a long time and became mentally handicapped.
Uncle Luo's house was in the middle of Luojia Village, so it was quite conspicuous. When Shi Qi knocked on the door, he was the first to hear a dog barking.
The one who came to open the door was a little girl in a flower padded jacket, about seven or eight years old, who was still a little blushing when she saw Xue Jiran.
"Father has gone to the woods, you wait for a while." The little girl led them into the house, where a black and white cat was lazily sleeping on the kang.
Shi Qi took a look at the furnishings in the room, a few simple pieces of furniture, and a kang took up half of the room.
"Little sister, where is your mother?" Xu Yao asked while sitting on the kang while petting the cat. The little girl sat cross-legged on the kang, "Mom has gone to the temple to offer incense."
Xu Yao couldn't believe it, "Go to incense in this weather?"
The little girl said "I'm too lazy to talk to you" and stopped talking.
Xu Yao, a courtesan, had a rare encounter with a wall, and kept pestering the little girl with questions, but the little girl didn't say anything.
Xue Jiran sneered, "Look, you must be disgusted by others."
Xu Yao was not convinced, "Ask if you have the ability, and see if she ignores you."
Shi Qi glanced at them and shook his head, Xu Yao still didn't make any progress at all, didn't he see that the little girl blushed when she looked at Xue Jiran?
Xue Jiran asked, "What's your name?" The little girl replied blushing, "My name is Yaya."
"What grade are you in?"
"Third grade."
"Why didn't you go out to play?"
"It's snowing, my parents won't let me go out."
"Then why did your mother go to the temple to offer incense today?"
"When it snows, you have to go to burn incense."
"..."
"Why do you have to go to offer incense when it snows?" Shi Qi interrupted suddenly, and Yaya looked at her tilting her head for a while before answering slowly, "Mom and Dad said, it's because when it snows, there are people on the mountain. The gods have nothing to eat, so we have to send food to the gods."
"immortal?"
"Yeah, there is a very powerful fairy on the mountain."
Shi Qi and Xue Jiran looked at each other without further questioning.
Xu Yao snuggled up to Shi Qi and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qi, didn't Uncle Luo say yesterday that there are people-eating mountain ghosts on the mountain?"
"I don't know," Shi Qi said casually, "I guess it's just a saying that tourists are not allowed to go up the mountain."
Xue Jiran and Yaya were chatting, Xu Yao hugged the cat and didn't let go, the cat seemed a little speechless, and kept trying to break free from Xu Yao.
Shi Qi looked at the snow that was getting bigger and bigger outside the window, and suddenly felt a little flustered.
"Don't wait, let's walk around the village by ourselves." After waiting for a long time before Uncle Luo came back, not even Ya Ya's mother, Shi Qi exhausted his patience and stood up to leave.
"Seventh sister, you can't see anything when you go out now, why don't you wait?" Xu Yao was a little bit reluctant to part with the cat.
Shi Qi glanced at her, "It's been a long time, we don't have so much time to waste."
In the end Xu Yao let go of the cat with a look of reluctance, and the cat ran away in an instant.
Yaya was a little bit reluctant to part with Xue Jiran, and kept holding on to Xue Jiran's clothes at the gate, "Brother, wait a little longer, Mom and Dad will be back in a while."
Xue Jiran was a little helpless, "No, we have very important things to do."
Yaya was a little disappointed, but she still let go of Xue Jiran's clothes.
Xue Jiran heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out the door, he didn't know what he saw, and suddenly looked back.
"what happened?"
Xue Jiran looked terrified, and Shi Qi frowned and looked into the yard. There was nothing in the small yard except a few piles of firewood. Where was the shadow of the dog?
"Damn, we clearly heard a dog barking just now." Xu Yao was a little scared, and dared not let go of Shi Qi's arm, and Xue Jiran also carefully shrank behind Shi Qi.
Yaya was very puzzled when she heard what they said, "What dog?"
"Does your neighbor have a dog?"
"No, no one in our village keeps dogs."
"Fuck," Shi Qi swears uncommonly, Ya Ya was taken aback and shrank his neck, "Mom and Dad said that dogs are unlucky things, and people who keep dogs will be punished by gods."
Shi Qi nodded with a sullen face, and pulled Xu Yao and Xue Jiran away from Uncle Luo's house.
Xu Yao was a little scared along the way, "Seventh sister, if there are no dogs in the village, how could we have heard a dog barking just now?"
Shi Qiyin had a pretty face, "I don't know either."
Both Xu Yao and Xue Jiran were a little silent. They were used to Shi Qi being omniscient, but suddenly encountered an accident, and Shi Qi said that he didn't know, and felt even more flustered.
Since this is a weird place, the unexpected situation is not worth being angry all the time, but she thought about it, the dog barking was heard a few seconds before Yaya opened the door, but Yaya obviously didn't hear it.
There are two possibilities, either only people outside the village can hear it.
Or they can only hear it at Shiqi.
She was eager to verify it now, so she took Xu Yao and Xue Jiran back to the guest house.
There happened to be a group of people who were going to find the tour guide. Xu Yao went up and briefly told them about how he had been released by the tour guide. He hoped to be with them. The tour guide was very happy and took them along.
There are five people in this team, four men and one woman. The girl is the beautiful girl Shi Qi saw just now, her name is Sun Jiangxue, and the boy she was leaning on just now is called Wang Rui, who is her boyfriend.
The leader of this team is Chen Jue, and Wang Rui and the other two boys are college roommates. They came here only after seeing posts about Luojia Village on the Internet.
"It's also a coincidence that I met Brother Luo just as we got off the car, otherwise we wouldn't know where we would get lost in the snow." Chen Jue looked scared, "But just now Brother Luo said that there is something wrong at home, so we just asked him to go to the house." Let's get settled first and go find him."
Xue Jiran said "Oh", "Do you have any plans? What are you going to do today?"
Chen Jue looked at Shi Qi who was silent along the way, "I don't have any plans, I just wandered around the village, and everyone came."
Xue Jiran nodded in agreement, then Chen Jue pulled him and asked in a low voice, "Boy, which of these two is your girlfriend?"
"Ah?" Xue Jiran was stunned, how could this person think so, he was a little dumbfounded, "No one is my girlfriend, we are classmates."
Chen Jue was visibly excited, and pointed at Shi Qi, "Then does she have a boyfriend?"
Xue Jiran, "..." I don't have a boyfriend, but will I tell you about having a girlfriend?
Xu Yao heard it clearly from behind, poked Shiqi, and whispered, "Sister Qi, your rotten peach blossoms are here again."
When Shi Qi heard the words, he raised his head and glanced, just in time to meet Chen Jue's gaze.
"After verification for a while, we will go our separate ways." Seeing the other party's eager eyes, Shi Qi was a little annoyed, and asked coldly, Xu Yao said "Oh", and rolled his eyes back at Chen Jue.
Next to Shi Qi was Sun Jiangxue, who took all this into his eyes, smiled when he saw Shi Qi's indifferent attitude, and said in a low voice, "I hope you can really get rid of him."
Shi Qi raised her eyes and glanced at her, "Yes." Sun Jiangxue was amused by Shi Qi's reaction, and laughed for a long time.
Chen Jue and their tour guide lived at the head of the village, and it took a long time to find it. When Chen Jue went up to knock on the door, Shi Qisan and the others held their breath unconsciously, and then they heard a dog barking.
Chen Jue and the others seemed to have heard it too, and were stunned for a moment, "This family even has a dog."
"Haha, isn't Wang Rui most afraid of dogs? Dare you go in, Wang Rui?"
Wang Rui laughed and cursed, "Get out, save me some face in front of my girlfriend."
Sun Jiangxue smiled and said nothing.
After being verified, Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Xue Jiran and Chen Jue to talk about something, and suddenly had to leave first.
Chen Jue was very unhappy, "Didn't you agree to play together, why did something happen all of a sudden?"
"Oh, it didn't happen suddenly, but I just remembered."
"Don't delay playing, just stroll around the village, soon." Chen Jue and Xue Jiran were talking, but their eyes drifted to Shi Qi.
Xue Jiran was a little embarrassed, looking at Shi Qi.
Shi Qi gave Chen Jue a cold look, and was about to speak, when he heard Sun Jiangxue say, "Chen Jue, if they have their own things to do, let them do it. We can play by ourselves."
As soon as Sun Jiangxue's words fell, Wang Rui also echoed, "That's right, what is your intention to stop the girl from leaving so desperately?"
Chen Jue blushed a little at being squeezed by them, and scolded "Get out", but at least he let go.
Xue Jiran breathed a sigh of relief, and the three of them turned around and walked towards the guest house.
"Seventh sister, shall we go back to the guest house now?"
"No." Shi Qi frowned, "Let's go to the temple."
The village temple is at the foot of the mountain, which is the other side of the village. It is also the only place worth exploring that Shiqi has mastered. It must be visited.
Xue Jiran didn't talk all the way, Xu Yao and Shi Qi had nothing to say, so he went to tease Xue Jiran, "Hey, why don't you talk?"
"I found something strange." Xue Jiran frowned, "Shi Qi, you were closest to Sun Jiangxue just now, did you notice that something was wrong with her?"
Shi Qi paused, "Look."
"Yes, it's the eyes." Xue Jiran was a little excited, "She looks a little over 20, but her eyes look particularly vicissitudes, as if she has experienced a lot."
Shi Qi noticed this strange thing from the first time he saw Sun Jiangxue, after all, that eyes and that gorgeous face really don't match up very well.
"Then is she..." Xu Yao tentatively asked, Shi Qihe cut her off, "She is alive."
"Oh", Xu Yao failed to guess again, but he was not disappointed, and turned to torment Xue Jiran.
Shi Qi thought about it, Sun Jiangxue must be a living person, but whether it has anything to do with the things on the snow mountain is not certain.
