Chapter 143 (1/2)
Luo Jian stayed in the old house until the evening. Grandma came back from the market with a basket of vegetables, and then cooked a table of good dishes for the two cousins, with soup and meat. When the family was not rich, it was rare. Even eating meat was a luxury.
Because those chairs in the countryside are wooden benches, one of which can be used by several people, so Luo Jian simply sat beside little Jane. He held up a red umbrella and watched the child eat. Luo Jian realized that she was not picky when she was a child and ate everything. She and her brother would eat all kinds of food. He would swallow all the dishes her grandmother and her brother brought him.
Luo Jian didn't think that she was so obedient when she was a child. She was very quiet. She couldn't help feeling disappointed. Now he can't remember those days. If she didn't come here today to see all this, maybe she couldn't remember that she had such a happy childhood in her life.
After eating, Jane left a bowl and filled it with some food. This action was quite unusual. His cousin Luofeng asked him, ”what are you doing?”
”Stay for dinner!” Jane looks serious.
”For whom?” Luo Feng was surprised.
Jane seemed to be puzzled by this question. She felt her head and said, ”I don't know.”
Luo Feng couldn't help laughing: ”don't know what to stay?”
Little Jane was also stubborn and insisted on keeping it. Only later did she know that she was taking her job to feed the dog outside. Then Luo Jian remembered that recently, an old man died in the neighborhood. After the funeral of their children, they left the village, and the house was locked. The old dog of the old people had no one to take care of. Occasionally, she would go door to door during meal time. This time, she rubbed against the door of luojian's house.
Luo Jian remembers that she liked that dog very much when she was a child. There were many dogs in the country. When she grew up in the yard, she especially protected the owner and caught thieves. At that time, she followed her cousin to pick peaches in other people's courtyard and was chased two miles by the dog. Luo Jian ran out of breath, and finally was carried home by his brother, and was severely scolded by her grandmother.
Luo Jian followed ah Jian out of the door and saw him squatting on the dark mud road to feed the dog. Although the dog is old, it is very fierce. It was also brought up in this small village. Every time an outsider came to the village, he would bark twice when he met anyone.
This time, it seems to smell something. It actually calls at Luo Jian, which makes Luo Jian a little surprised. He still has a red umbrella However, it is also true that the dog nose is very sensitive, and there are even rumors that many dogs can feel the spirit, ghost and so on. It is not impossible to detect the existence of Luo Jian.
Next to the small Jane is inexplicable, the dog eat well, suddenly toward a no one place crazy cry, he can't help but stretch out his little hand to touch the dog's head, pacify it: ”darling, don't bark!”
The old dog didn't listen to him. He walked a few steps closer to Luo Jian, continued to bark and scream, and put on the appearance of protecting a little Jane behind him. Luo Jian, who was standing there, couldn't help crying and laughing. He was also reluctant to look at the old house and the cousins and grandmothers who came out to check out the dog's barking.
Then she turned her umbrella and walked away.
”I have to go somewhere else and wait quietly the next time I cross space and time.” Luo Jian talks to herself.
However, after two steps, Luo Jian reluctantly turned her head and looked at it. The dog came with her. Dou's small eyes glared at her fiercely. She followed her and barked all the way. Xiaohe also followed the dog, causing several families nearby to light their lights and look out. Luo Jian even heard their voices.
”What's the matter? The old Hu family dog barks all the time
”It's called out in front of nobody.”
”It won't be a problem. It used to be called by outsiders.”
Old people in the countryside are superstitious. When they see dogs barking at places where there is no one, they naturally want to go somewhere else. Some young people carrying old oil lamps actually follow the dog, which makes Luo Jian helpless. He has to speed up and get rid of the old dog.
I don't know if it's the dog's habit of chasing things. The faster Luo Jian runs, the faster the dog chases. Luo Jian can't go back and kill the dog angrily. On the contrary, the speed of a large group of people chasing after the dog is slower, and the children are more flexible. So little Jane has been running behind the dog's buttocks, and has a happy smile.
Is there any such thing in my memory? Or did my arrival affect all this?
Along the muddy path, Luo Jian ran to a small forest, and rose to the tree. The dog finally stopped, hesitated and did not dare to move forward. It seemed that she was afraid of the forest. She turned around several times under the grass, then jumped over the fence of a family nearby, and disappeared.
On the contrary, Jane, who ran after the dog, did not find the old dog. She was still looking left and right, trying to find the dog.
Among those who followed him, cousin Luo Feng also came. Because he was worried about his brother, he kept calling ah Jane's name. The little Jane under the tree didn't know why, and didn't hear her cousin's voice, she obediently went home. The child didn't know what to think, and even lifted his feet into the woods.It's still night. The night in the countryside is very dark. Moreover, in those days, there were few farmers with flashlights. Most of them were carrying oil lamps. The light was not particularly bright. There was still light on the muddy road. Most of them were the light in the houses of nearby farmers. However, when we entered the small forest, we could say that we could not see our fingers.
Luo Jian didn't know what the child thought. Maybe he was curious. He was still young. Even though he was weak, he still looked fearless. Luojian watched him walk into the forest, which made her worried. So he floated down from the tree and fell beside the child.
It's too dark in the woods.
In fact, Luo Jian was not afraid of the dark. Anyway, he could see clearly in the dark. He tried to get the child out of the woods so that he would not get hurt or fall in the forest. But what should he do? Maybe we can give him a hypnosis.
Luo Jian thought, he put his hand on the child's shoulder to prevent him from running around. Then he shook his umbrella, lowered the voice line, and said quietly, ”Jane, go home.”
But this time, Luo Jian was disappointed. The child was not affected by hypnosis. He even shook his head in the dark and said in a low voice: ”who? Who's talking? ”
Doesn't work?
Luo Jian thinks it is impossible. He has failed at Luo Feng once before. Although Luo Feng still obeys his will in the end, Luo Jian thinks that the same kind of failure can not happen to him twice.
