Chapter 2 The dog barks in the middle of the night
The mayor who presided over the fish split suddenly died tragically, and the matters in Tangbian now fell on a man named Liao Ji.
In Weinan Town, besides the mayor, Liao Ji has the greatest prestige.
Because this person had a relative who opened an escort agency in Gusu City, and he had been in his relative's escort agency for several years and learned some skills, he naturally had a high prestige in this small town.
Because what happened to Lu Shandian was too strange, Liao Ji did not rush to take out the golden beads from the sarcophagus, but instead asked someone to reseal the lid of the coffin and carry it to the ancestral hall in the town.
He roughly divided the parallel goods caught from the boil, and then threw some of the small fish fry that he had caught before back into the boil.
Since the sky was getting darker after the fish was divided, the sarcophagus was not processed that day. After discussing it, everyone decided to wait until the next day to deal with it.
At this point, the matter of harvesting fish in late autumn came to an end.
After nightfall, a strong wind blew. Cooperating with the temperature of this season, the residents of the town closed the door early.
Although it was late autumn, those men who became families were filled with spring after closing the door. They vented the evil fire that had accumulated on their bodies during the busy autumn harvest and farming.
It’s just that the single old bachelors were pitiful, and after nightfall, they had to comfort the long night with the five girls.
...
“Hu~Hu~”
The night wind slapped on the eaves of the window, making a sound. On the east side of Weinan Town, a few loud coughs came from a dilapidated small house.
The person who coughed was Chen Jin, a little boy who was just ten years old. Five years ago, his father went to the mountain to hunt and was taken to another world by the black blind man. His mother was too sad and died of serious illness in the same year.
Therefore, since Chen Jin was five years old, he had been asking for food in the town and watching others' faces grow up.
Because his parents died early since childhood and were despised everywhere, his personality is somewhat deformed compared to ordinary children.
This deformity has not been said before since his parents passed away. In addition, he is young and has no teaching, and his spirit is somewhat different from that of a normal child.
Therefore, everyone in the town called him Xiao Crazy.
This poor and crazy little orphan fell into a turbulent Xiang River next to the town seven days ago.
After falling into the river, no one in the town cared about him. In the eyes of the people in the town, if this little crazy person really drowned in the river, it would actually be considered a kind of relief, and he died early and was born sooner.
But one day after Chen Jin fell into the river, he climbed up from the Xiang River again.
Although this matter is a bit strange, the people in the town didn't care too much.
Because in their eyes, Chen Jin, the little lunatic, was already mentally ill, so they thought he might have been playing in the river for a day or something.
In fact, people in the town didn't know that the real Chen Jin had already returned to the scent of the nine springs after falling into the water.
His body was tied up by the aquatic plants under the river. After soaking for a day, he suddenly regained his vitality.
At this moment, Chen Jin was actually another person, he came from another world.
In that world, his name is Chen Jin, a 17-year-old high school student who grew up under the Red Banner. He still remembers swimming in the river with his classmates, and then was dragged to the bottom of the water by a strange force and lost consciousness.
After waking up, I was in the current world and became a poor child who was only ten years old and helpless.
After adapting these days, he had a rough understanding of this world from Chen Jin's memory, but since he got up from the bottom of the river that day, he had a severe cold.
So he has been lying at home for recuperation these days.
"Cough~Cough~"
After coughing a few times, Chen Jin, who was pale-faced, staggered to a wooden table next to the bed and sat down. He reached out and picked up a broken kiln pot containing water on the table, and poured several large mouthfuls.
After drinking the cold water, Chen Jin, who was originally listless, recovered a little. He stood up from the table, walked into the backyard in the dark, took out a big sweet potato and returned to the room.
During the days when he was sick, he relied on the sweet potatoes in the backyard to maintain his life. In his memory, the sweet potatoes in the backyard were from Chen Jin before in other people's fields.
Just as Chen Jin returned to the room and chewed with sweet potatoes, the wind outside the room became a little stronger. A cool breeze penetrated into the room through the gap between the windows and blew out the oil lamp.
In the howling wind outside the house, not long after, a dog barking suddenly sounded.
It has been a few days since I came to this world. In the past few nights, every time it was dark, the outside of the town was very peaceful, and no one would sleep outside the house overnight.
But today the dog barked very strangely.
After listening carefully, you can hear that the dog outside the house was barking while running, as if chasing something.
"Is it a thief?" Chen Jin did not ignite the oil lamp.
Although the room was pitch black, he knew exactly what decorations there were in this house and where it was placed.
So, after Chen Jin put the sweet potato in his hand on the wooden table beside him, he walked towards the window.
In Weinan Town, two rows of houses are built opposite the streets of the town from east to west. On the streets to the west, there is also a short cross street, and the size of the entire town is in the shape of a "ten".
His house is on the easternmost part of the town, outside the house is the street, and opposite is the ancestral hall in the town.
In Chen Jin's memory, the ancestral hall opposite the house is very large in scale and was built collectively by the town. Its function is not to worship ancestral tablets like the ordinary Zong ancestral hall, but to pray for gods and practice rituals.
For example, on February 2nd, on March 3rd, on April 4th, on the God of Underworld...
He walked to the window with doubt in his heart, and a cool wind blew on him through the gap between the windows, making him tremble.
Tighten the torn cotton coat he was wearing, Chen Jin leaned his head against the window and looked out through the gap.
The light outside the house is very dark, but it is brighter than inside, because there is still a little dim moonlight in the sky.
Through the dim light, Chen Jin saw several figures coming from the west of the town towards the direction where his home was. At the same time, behind the figure, the barking dog was followed.
After seeing this, he felt a chill on his back and his pores stood up in an instant.
Although the light on the street outside the house was dim at this time, he could see clearly that the few figures coming from the west of the town were definitely not humans, because there was a faint gray light shining around them.
