C33 (1/2)
Before he left, he said to Yao Ling: ”Third Brother, it's been so long since you've seen my girlfriend. How about we have a meal tonight after she's done with her work?”
He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette as he replied, ”Okay, you go ahead. We'll talk on the phone tonight, if I'm hungry, I'll go find you. Sister-in-law, we should meet up, but …” The moment I woke up today, I felt like my eyelids were jumping nonstop. Is something going to happen again!? You can go, and we'll talk about it later. ”
Lying on the sofa with the movie in his hand, he felt drowsy, waking up from time to time. He had dreamt about it all afternoon, sometimes on the Korean border, sometimes in the mountains of Burma, sometimes in the middle of the evening. Only then did he wake up completely, feeling weak and sore all over. Only then did he realize that he had received a few WeChat messages from Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji had also sent him a map and told him that he would be having dinner with his girlfriend in the evening, so he asked Yao Yun to come sit with him.
”I'm not going. You guys eat, I'm a bit tired. I'm sleeping at home. Help me pack up some food to bring back. If you don't come back, then that's fine.” Yao Yun sent a message over via WeChat. His mood had indeed turned sour, so he stayed home.
Wei Wuji did not try to persuade her otherwise. He had only sent her a photo which stunned her. He immediately picked up his phone and replied to Wuji, ”Eat first, I'll go over right now.”
Faced with the congested Second Ring Road, even an outstanding hunter like Yao Ling could not help but feel anxious, let alone the little mutt that he sent over on WeChat. Ever since Wei Wuji had told him about this matter, Yao Yun had speculated about what kind of dog it was many times. He had always thought that it would be a rare, large, ferocious dog, but he had never thought that it would be a palm-sized puppy that had yet to open his eyes. The dog was snow-white, with a round head and thin body, four thick limbs, but its tail was extremely slender. Strangely, a bone seemed to protrude from the dog's top door, as if it had a horn growing on it. In the tenth book of the [Thousand Hand Demon Subduing Taroni] from Yao's ancestor, [Vidosa and Luo], there were all kinds of strange things in the world. Many legendary wild beasts were recorded in detail in the book, and among them was this kind of sleeve-type dog. The so-called pocket-sized dog, firstly, was a pocket-sized dog, and secondly, was the most legendary kind of pocket-sized dog, the Sleeve Mastiff. Legend has it that living buddhas in the Tibetan area like to keep this dog. They were extremely small and could normally be tucked into the sleeves of their robes. When living Buddha ate, they would spit out the saliva that contained food residue into the mouths of their dogs to feed them. Although these sleeved mastiffs were small in size, they were extremely alert and aggressive in nature. Whenever there was any movement in the surroundings, they would bark crazily to warn the owner of the temple. And according to the records of ”Ying De Vidosa and Luo”, the Sleeve Mastiff also had a rare treasure that was rarely seen in a hundred years. This kind of sleeved mastiff had a smaller body and was born blind, but it had a horn protruding from its head. Although this sleeved mastiff couldn't see anything, its hearing and sense of smell were unusually sensitive. It could sense some dangerous substances that ordinary people couldn't see. The Tibetan monks all said that it was the embodiment of human nature, of the Godly Beast that shied away from evil and listened. Yao Yun never thought that Wei Wuji would be able to obtain such a rare and magical ancient seed. Naturally, he was extremely excited in his heart. He became restless from the traffic jam, as if the rare sleeved mastiff would be taken away if he was one step too late. He was so agitated that he decided to avoid the congested second ring road.
Yao Yun didn't think too much and changed the route from the Second Ring Road. However, the roads here were pretty much the same. With the help of the unreliable red light, the roads were also congested. Fortunately, he had been around this area since he was a kid, and he knew his way around, so he turned his head and headed into a small alley. Taking a shortcut by driving through an alley was tantamount to betting all the chips on the bet. Either they could successfully reduce the time they needed to reach their destination, or they would be completely stuck in a narrow alley without being able to advance or retreat. However, today was Yao Ling's lucky day. The alleyway was very quiet, and his mood had finally lightened after his crazy journey. He couldn't help but feel pleased with himself. When he was about to reach Hu Tong's mouth, a huge white figure suddenly jumped out from the angle. That thing's speed was extremely fast, Yao Ling didn't even have time to react before it hit the other party. The only sound that could be heard was a muffled bang before that white figure was sent flying high into the air.
Yao Yun knew the situation wasn't good, so she hurriedly stopped the car and got down to inspect her surroundings. What surprised him even more was that the alley was completely silent, as if nothing had happened. If not for the dent on the machine lid, Yao Ning would have thought that she was hallucinating.
He wiped his eyes and turned around in front of the car. He still didn't see the person he had hit. Yao Yun thought to himself as he raised his head to look at the surrounding roofs. He still couldn't find anything. The surroundings were still pitch black, the dim street lamps were barely flashing with a yellow-white light. A thought suddenly flashed through Yao Ling's mind: did I run into a ghost?
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Yao Ling hurriedly raised her head and looked up. From the rooftop of a small house, a big leopard cat had appeared. It was staring at the rooftop in the distance with its back slightly arched, as if it was trying to gather all the strength in its body. Then, with a strange cry, it turned around and ran away without a trace.
Yao Yun Qing knew something was amiss, so she didn't stay any longer. After looking around and finding no one around, she ran back into the car and drove out of the alley.
Did he really run into something unclean? He recalled what happened just a moment ago. That white figure was very thin and long, it seemed like a person, but also a bit unlike that. The thing that confused Yao Yun the most was the dent on the machine cover, which was not big but was very deep, very different from the dent caused by an ordinary car accident. If only he had the sleeved mastiff. Thinking of the Sleeve Mastiff in his heart, Yao Ling stopped worrying about what had just happened. He lit a cigarette, and began to mumble to himself about what was going on. He hurried over to the restaurant that Wei Wuji had reserved.
When they sat across from Wei Wuji and his girlfriend, Yao Yun couldn't help but understand why this childish person would be so willing to put so much effort and energy into this woman in front of her. This woman who introduced herself as Yang Hua was not only beautiful, but she also had the temperament and ruthlessness to attract Yao Yun's attention. For a moment, Yao Yun felt that Wuji was truly lucky. How could such a good girl ask him to hook up with her first? However, Yao Yun quickly realized that Yang Hua seemed to be a little distracted, so she asked, ”Big sis, did I bother you two to make an appointment?” I was being too rash. Normally, a brother shouldn't be the big light bulb, but I really like dogs. I heard that your dog was unusual, so I rushed over in a hurry. Otherwise... You give me the dog, and I'll leave first.
Before Yang Hua could reply, Wei Wuji smiled and said: ”Brother, can you not be so arrogant? ”Little Hua got frightened when he bumped into something just now.”
”Hmm? You met a bad guy? Nothing to you, right? ” Yao Yin asked as she drank the drink ordered by Yang Huawei.
