Big Red also lowered its head and bit the rope that tied it to the pillar.
They were behaving very strangely tonight.
Qiao Lian'er thought, "I should go and take a look."
They took off the big red ribbon, and together with Da Shun, they went upstairs.
"Lian'er, where are you going?" Da Yong's voice came from behind.
Looking back, I saw that Dayong and Xiaomeng had also gotten up.
“Da Shun was barking loudly at the road above, and Da Hong was also acting strangely, so I went to check it out.”
“We also heard Da Shun’s bark,” Xiao Meng said.
"Let's go check the situation together."
It wasn't just Da Shun barking; all the dogs in the village were stirred up and started barking, creating a commotion in the air.
Many villagers were awakened and began cursing at their own animals.
Some, however, were very vigilant and went in groups to check their surroundings.
There is an official road above Datian Village, and people and horses often pass by, even at midnight. The village dogs are used to it.
The fact that it provoked such a strong reaction suggests there must be something going on.
In case a notorious thief breaks in, or a robber, after all, most families are short of food these days, and theft has increased in the surrounding villages. Some families even have to take turns keeping watch at night.
When they were almost at the top, Da Shun suddenly stopped shouting, lowered his head, and looked somewhat dejected.
Qiao Lian'er's first thought was that the petty thief had been scared away.
The dogs in the whole village were barking, and even the most audacious person would avoid them.
Da Shun darted up, sniffing here and there, and then barked in the direction of a mountain.
The moonlight was dim, barely enough to make out the road. Across the way, to the north, stood a massive, majestic mountain, its enormous form hidden in the darkness like a beast that would devour everything.
Qiao Lian'er understood that Da Shun meant that the person, or those people, had run towards that mountain.
It was the middle of the night, so it was impossible to chase after them there, since they hadn't stolen anything.
"Let's go back." Da Yong said helplessly, his voice tinged with weariness. He had been training soldiers at the camp all day and had just gotten married. If he didn't get enough sleep, his body wouldn't be able to take it.
Xiao Meng tapped Da Shun on the head.
"They're still up there and you're already yelling, making us chase after them. Da Shun, are you out of your mind?"
"We can't even be sure if he's a thief."
"Look at your dog head, it's getting bigger and bigger, but it's all for nothing."
Da Shun was very indignant and protested loudly, his voice tinged with grievance.
Oh no! Song Laosan has run away, but he can't speak human language, so all he can do is worry.
That Song Laosan, don't let his current downfall fool you, he's incredibly cunning. What if he gets lucky again and tries to take advantage of the family?
But now he's run away, gone to that mountain, and can't be found. Alas, we can only hope that Song Laosan fell off a cliff somewhere, so as to avoid leaving any future trouble.
Big Red wanted to chase after the mountain, but the mountain was full of rocks and dense trees, so it couldn't maneuver at all.
Its mood was just as anxious as Da Shun's, and even the snorts it exhaled were much heavier.
As Qiao Lian'er returned with a horse and a dog, she felt uneasy.
