Chapter 8 The cicadas chirped outside the window in the dark night, and a round of...
The chirping of cicadas could be heard outside the window at night. A crescent moon had already hung in the sky. The night in the mountains was particularly dark, making the bright moon appear too bright.
Su Huaiwang looked at the two little ones in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally tied them up with a rope.
If she went out alone, the two dogs could of course run freely, but today was different, because there was someone else with them.
Lin Jue.
The moment she thought of Lin Jue, Su Huaiwang instantly felt like she had no desire to live. He treated her as a friend, yet she wanted to sleep with him. This made her feel completely ashamed in front of Lin Jue.
Big Gray raised his neck with a bit of pride and let Su Huaiwang tie a handsome leather chain on him.
Smelling the sweet scent of shower gel on the dog, Su Huaiwang felt a little better. She put her arms around Dahui's neck, hugged it and sighed deeply.
Then he stood up
"Let's go."
Pushing open the door, the coolness of the summer night like water flows in the air. There is no human sound. The farmers at the foot of the mountain have turned off the lights early, leaving only the headlights of the party branch still on.
The artificial lights and moonlight mixed together, dimly shining on Lin Jue's vague face, making her look gorgeous, like a treasure that did not exist in this world.
Su Huaiwang's breath was choked, and after being surprised, he showed an expression that was almost painful.
She suddenly felt that she was not so heartless. Could she be blamed for Lin Jue's appearance?
After finally suppressing the restlessness in her heart, she walked forward a few steps with the two dogs.
"Good evening." Lin Jue greeted her with a smile, moving his gaze down from the moon and focusing on her.
"Good evening."
"Can you give me a rope?" Lin Jue did not forget what excuse she used to ask Su Huaiwang out. She looked at Su Huaiwang's hands tightly tied by the rope, and her mood, which was originally comfortable because of the moonlight, became slightly worse.
"Okay, which one do you want?" Su Huaiwang raised his hands: "Big Gray or Little Yellow?"
Lin Jue looked at the two palms open to her in front of her, resisted the urge to put her hands on them, and chose the thick rope belonging to Dahui.
"Big Gray," she said with a smile, glancing down at the wolfhound.
This is undoubtedly a well-trained guard dog, with shiny fur, muscular body, sharp and loyal eyes, and a mouth full of fangs clenched tightly, ready to explode at any moment.
Su Huaiwang squatted down and patted Dahui's head: "Be a good boy when you follow this sister."
After that, he stood up and said to Lin Jue, "It's very energetic and sometimes rushes very fast. If you don't hold it tightly, it can easily get hurt. Is that okay with you? If not, you can hold Xiao Huang."
When Xiao Huang heard that his master was going to send him out, he immediately clamped his tail together and whimpered at Su Huaiwang twice, as if begging for mercy.
Lin Jue still looked gentle and soft: "It's okay, I'll hold on to it."
The wolfhound was very well behaved this time. It did not rush up to bite her, but just stared at her with its eyes.
Lin Jue didn't look at it. The time he spent with Su Huaiwang was too short and he had no time to spare for it.
The two of them walked up the mountain road. Although it was called a mountain road, it was not very wild. The government had allocated funds to build the road and even installed lights, so it was easy to walk on.
As the gentle breeze blew at night, Su Huaiwang's heart finally relaxed a little.
"With you here, they are both much better behaved today." Su Huaiwang said to Lin Jue with a smile.
"Really? Then it seems I am still useful. Aren't they usually very well-behaved?" Lin Jue said, his eyes falling on the puppy jumping in front of him. Xiao Huang, who had finally become happy, suddenly looked around suspiciously as if someone had pricked his butt with an ice pick.
Su Huaiwang didn't directly say whether they were obedient or not, but just sighed: "Dogs have their own nature. If you choose to love them, you have to learn to accept their bad side."
"What if that side is unacceptable to you?" Lin Jue's tone was a little strange.
Su Huaiwang thought for a moment: "I haven't encountered it yet... For example?"
"For example, it's not actually a dog, it's a cat, and it's been lying to you."
Su Huaiwang laughed out loud: "What's going on?" As expected of a young person, she had a rich imagination. Su Huaiwang selectively ignored the fact that she was also young.
"It wouldn't be a bad thing if it was a cat, right? Cats are cute. Lying to me isn't a big deal. We can't understand each other, and we often deceive each other."
For example, she was lying to Lin Jue right now. They were supposed to be friends, but every night he had erotic dreams about her, and Su Huaiwang began to feel depressed again.
"Indeed, the example I gave was not quite right. Do you have any animals that you hate?"
Su Huaiwang turned his head to look at her: "Do you really want to go down this path to the end? Generally speaking, I will continue to love it no matter what it becomes." She looked at the two dogs running and jumping in the distance, with tenderness in her eyes.
Lin Jue did not miss this tenderness, and jealousy emerged like a tightly tangled black line, but fortunately it was dark and Su Huaiwang did not notice it.
"Why?"
The girl's voice was originally clear and transparent, but now it sounds inexplicably dry.
Su Huaiwang wondered if there were any throat lozenges left at home, wondering if he should send her a pack. He replied, "We've been together for so long, there's no way to just say it's not a dog and erase it. Besides, even if it's not a dog anymore, as long as it likes me, won't I continue to like it too?"
Lin Jue's lips were moving, and it was unclear what he was going to say.
"You're a very good person."
"Thank you for the compliment..." Su Huaiwang was a little confused, not knowing why she suddenly praised him: "You are also a very good person."
In the shadow that Su Huaiwang could not see, Lin Jue clenched his fists tightly, and blood flowed from between his fingers, staining his clean and white skin with a weird look.
She took a step back, allowing more shadows to cover her body, leaving only the beautiful face that Su Huaiwang liked.
But Su Huaiwang regarded this action as a sign of discomfort.
She took a step closer worriedly: "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"Nothing." Lin Jue gave a forced smile.
Ghosts tend to become restless at night. After hearing what Su Huaiwang just said, all she could think about was why those two dogs could roar but she couldn't. Now, they were relying on a small clear area to restrain themselves from taking her away.
Lin Jue's behavior made Su Huaiwang even more certain of his guess.
"If you feel unwell in the village, tell us immediately. Medical facilities here are relatively scarce. Although you are still young, it is not good to resist. Go home first. I will give you a quick check, okay?"
During the two years of living alone, out of necessity, Su Huaiwang accumulated a lot of medical knowledge.
"Are you going to... invite me?" Lin Jue's breathing suddenly became heavy.
"Hmm?" Su Huaiwang frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
"I mean, it doesn't seem right to bother you so late at night."
Never invite ghosts through your door at night.
But Su Huaiwang didn't understand this taboo. Her eyebrows relaxed: "We are all girls, what's the big deal."
She was the one being raped even in her dreams, so Lin Jue could rest assured because she had confidence in herself.
"Then..." Lin Jue had just opened his mouth when a sharp sound came from behind, like a scream and a flat tire, followed by the roar of two dogs.
Su Huaiwang hurriedly turned around and saw that the two dogs who were originally playing happily were now howling excitedly at the darkness in front of them.
"What's going on?" Lin Jue spoke at the right time.
Su Huaiwang's expression became serious: "I don't know, I'll go and take a look."
She turned around, took two steps forward, and suddenly fainted, falling into Lin Jue's arms.
Black air emerged from Lin Jue's body, and the girl's slender and beautiful swan neck was covered with black lines that concealed blood, extending all the way to her delicate and small chin.
She obviously looked even thinner and frailer than Su Huaiwang, but at this moment she held him firmly in her arms.
Amber eyes stared at the darkness in the mountains.
"Want to eat me?"
The still darkness began to move, surging and howling. A large number of faces, some weeping tears of blood, some with mouths stretched from ear to ear, mixed in it, eager to pounce on Lin Jue.
The two dogs lost their original majesty, with their tails tucked between their legs, but they still stood loyally in front of their master.
Lin Jue waved his hand, and black air covered them.
"Be careful, you can't die."
She drooped her eyelashes and rubbed her cheek against the forehead of the person in her arms. The long-lost feeling of contact made her pores almost expand, as if she had returned to the days and nights of the past.
Lin Jue showed an obsessed smile on his face, but the black energy behind him cruelly rushed towards the darkness and violently tore it apart.
"Luckily I didn't see it."
Lin Jue carefully protected the back of Su Huaiwang's head. That thing was too ugly. Su Huaiwang was afraid that she would get stye if she looked at it.
After all, not all ghosts have a beautiful human body like her.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Jue's lips curled up unconsciously again.
"Okay, time to go."
She called the two dogs, and she had sucked up the darkness until not even a trace of it was left.
The two dogs finally figured out who was a good person, and they came up to her, wagging their tails and sniffing her.
"You're starting to like me? How realistic." Lin Jue wanted to pat their heads, but he was still holding Su Huaiwang in his arms, so he had to let the black energy do it for him.
The two dogs that were hit on the head by the black air were both scared and happy, showing an extremely strange state.
They surrounded Lin Jue, wanting to see what was wrong with Su Huaiwang.
"She's fine, I just let her fall asleep." Lin Jue patiently explained to the two dogs.
I don’t know if they could understand, but after hearing this sentence, the two dogs obviously relaxed a little.
With his tail raised again, Little Yellow ran to the front proudly and led them, while Big Gray trotted close to Lin Jue, occasionally looking up at Su Huaiwang who was sleeping soundly.
Lin Jue walked slowly with Su Huaiwang in his arms. The moonlight fell on her, making her feel as warm as if she were in a hot spring.
But even the moonlight that I loved most in the past is not as warm as the person in my arms.
Lin Jue hugged her tighter again.
She also wants to try to like the things she likes, and she also hopes that one day Su Huaiwang will be able to forgive her like he did to the two dogs.
Forgive her.
Love her.
