Chapter 8

The piece of paper towel on the car window was soon foggy again, and the shadows of the fields and trees became blurred again, but Qi Chen still maintained his posture of looking out the window, not knowing whether he was in a daze or thinking about things.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Liangguang glanced at him and asked.

"Oh, nothing." Qi Chen played with the small wet tissue with his fingers and withdrew his gaze. "It's not easy to live in this area. The house is too far apart. It's probably a bit scary to live in the middle of the night. I've raised many dogs. As we go by, the barking of dogs from far and near have never stopped."

"Baring?" Xu Liang stared at the road ahead for a while, then quickly turned his head to look at Qi Chen and smiled, "What are your ears? Why didn't I hear the dog barking?"

Qi Chen said "ahee" twice, pointing to the wipers swaying left and right in front of the car windows, saying, "Drive and look at your road, don't look at other places. The road is slippery and foggy. The barking of dogs is in the fields, and the windows and doors of the car are closed, so how can you hear it so clearly? It's normal for you to not pay attention to driving."

Xu Liang said "Oh".

"How far is there?" Qi Chen still rubbed the piece of tissue in his hand, without looking up, as if he was too idle.

Xu Liang replied: "It's soon, not long."

Qi Chen responded "um" and nodded.

This time, Xu Liang was probably right. He drove for about ten minutes. He looked around, finally slowed down, and finally parked the car on the side of the road.

There was a dirt road where the parking area was parked, but it was a little narrow, so it was a bit difficult to drive the car in, especially the ice and snow slag on the ground had been turned into muddy black mud, spreading all the way. Even if you barely drive in, if you don’t pay attention, you will easily slide into the fields on the side of the dirt road, which is a bit troublesome.

"Here?" Qi Chen asked Xu Liang in surprise, and then he was too lazy to suck the tissue. He directly wiped a piece of it on the car window with his fingers and looked outside.

I saw a small slope like a pitiful grave at the end of the dirt road, and there were several trees that blocked the wind in front of the slope. Through the trees, you could vaguely see a gray house, and light similar to inferior neon lights and simple signs reflected from the branches.

"Well, it's just behind the tree. It's a farmhouse. Although the decoration is not very good, it tastes quite good!" As he got out of the car one after another, Xu Liang locked the car and turned the hat of the down jacket and covered his head to block the wind and snow. While leading Qi Chen along the dirt road, he reached out to point the end of the way.

Qi Chen brought him under the umbrella with an umbrella, and couldn't help but look back at the roadside where dozens of private cars were parked. It was probably like them who rushed over from the city to have dinner, and they had to get off the car and walk across this dirt road.

But now it’s past mealtime, and everyone who comes has already entered. There are no one else on the dirt road except him and Xu Liang.

There are no street lights on both sides, only a few tall trees that are sparsely planted here, as if they were planted here casually, and they are completely bald. It would be a joke to expect them to block the wind. Their only function is to make this dirt road look dark after nightfall.

Qi Chen was afraid of stepping into the puddle, so he had to take out his cell phone and wanted to turn on the flashlight to take a look.

The weather was extremely cold. As soon as he got out of the car, his hands became cold and he was not very quick to take a mobile phone. He moved his stiff fingers and was about to open the screen lock, but a barking sounded suddenly from not far away in front of his feet. Qi Chen was shocked and his hands shivered. The mobile phone fell out of his frozen hand and fell to the ground with a "splash".

The road with some light just now fell back into the darkness, and the barking of dogs was just the beginning.

Its scream seemed to arouse the interest of other dog neighbors in the wilderness, and they all spoke in harmony, one after another, barking into pieces. When they heard that posture, a few seemed to be running towards this side.

Qi Chen was not afraid of dogs, but he had not been surrounded by so many dogs, so he stopped there as soon as he picked up his phone.

He didn't know if the light on his mobile phone screen was too conspicuous on this dark dirt road, so he led these guardian dogs and wolf dogs over. So he wanted to turn on the flashlight and had to stop his fingers. It was not right to turn on, nor was it not right to turn on.

But soon, he realized that it didn't seem to be the case-

Just looking at the light that was not bright on the mobile phone screen, Qi Chen found that the dogs not far away did not seem to be trying to pounce on them. They just lowered their bodies, blew their hair all over, bared their teeth and made a "huff" threat. But the posture was a bit defensive, as if Qi Chen and Xu Liang moved, they would run away wildly.

With this idea, Qi Chen held an umbrella and took a tentative step forward. After this movement, he discovered another problem-

Those dogs didn't even move their heads, and they still maintained their original posture and angle, staring at the original direction...

And now, only Xu Liang is still standing there.

Are these dogs aimed at Xu Liang?

Qi Chen was a little confused for a moment... If they were to say that they were guarding against strangers, why did they only guard against one of them and completely ignore the other?

Just as he was stunned, a small ball of black objects rubbed past his feet, and rushed to the branches beside him at an extremely fast and light speed, hidden in the night, leaving only a pair of eyes with a glimmering light.

With the limited light on the mobile phone screen, Qi Chen felt that it should be a black cat.

The moment he saw the black cat, Qi Chen suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard somewhere-

Cats and dogs kept clamoring at night, maybe they saw something dirty.

The black cat squatting on the tree screamed very lightly.

Qi Chen's heart thumped, and when it fell, it seemed to smash into a pool of ice water, which made him shudder. The strange and somewhat uneasy mood along the way also spread.

Xu Liang, who was half a step away from him, finally moved a little, and the soles of his shoes were scrubbing in the ice slag and snow mud.

The slight sound of water was like someone throwing a firecracker in front of the group of dogs in front of them, which made them turn around and run. Without hesitation for a second, they shot out like arrows. But they still couldn't control their mouths on the way to escape and barked in a low voice.

Before Qi Chen could recover from the scene of the dogs running, he felt his left shoulder suddenly put on his hand.

He subconsciously took a breath and his body shook violently.

"Orange--" Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and walked to the place that was side by side with him with a smile, "Why are you scared by a group of dogs like this?"

Qi Chen patted his chest and laughed dryly: "Yes, maybe I haven't been surrounded by so many people, and they are all wolf dogs. So are the people here, so are the large dogs. "At this time, he was extremely glad that the road was dark enough, and the flashlight of the mobile phone had not turned on yet, otherwise the stiff expression on his face would have been clearly illuminated.

"Let's go." Xu Liang said, and he was about to carry his shoulders and walk forward.

Qi Chen subconsciously struggled for a moment and pretended to be relaxed: "Go along well, are you still going to let me hold an umbrella with your paws?"

Xu Liang laughed twice, letting go of his hand indifferently, and taking the lead: "What kind of umbrella is it? Just put on a hat. Now the snow is small, how many pieces can be covered with it? You are poor and you are more particular!"

When Qi Chen heard his words, he seemed to be no different from usual. He suddenly felt that he had really had a big brain just now. That night, he had the nerve to tell Team Leader Long that he didn't believe in gods and gods. Just two days later, he slapped himself in the face.

He blamed his thoughts just now on the fact that the atmosphere was too strong, so he shook his head and cleared out the messy theories of gods and ghosts.

"It's such a kind of ability to be so dark. I turned on the flashlight." Qi Chen opened the screensaver of his mobile phone, raised his head, and said to Xu Liang, who was one step ahead. At the same time, he also complained in his heart: I have watched too many novels and movies, but I can actually associate that kind of thing with Xu Liang. How is it possible? The materialist scientific view has gone into the dog's belly.

Before he could complain, he was shaken by something in Xu Liang's down jacket pocket as soon as the flashlight was turned on.

His hand was in his pocket before, and Qi Chen couldn't see anything. At this moment, he took out his hand and pulled down the hat that was covered on his head. The half-open pocket was not closed yet. He could vaguely see a piece of the thing inside, and that piece happened to be the gold-packed interface part. When the flashlight of the mobile phone was shining, it happened to be a little reflective.

That thing is nothing else, it is the golden jade bracelet that was allegedly stolen by Sister Qin, but disappeared inexplicably.

The steps Qi Chen had just taken suddenly froze there again.
