It must be said that dogs are exceptionally intelligent animals. Even though Hu Tudao was pretending to smash them, they were still wary and didn't dare to get too close, following us at a distance while barking wildly.
"Damn it, those three beasts! Once I buy a car, if they dare to come out, I'll floor the gas and run them over!" Hu Tudao cursed, still shaken.
After we rode our bikes for a while, the three vicious dogs stopped chasing us. At that moment, I was thinking, I hadn't seen these three vicious dogs the previous two nights. Could it be that they were afraid to come over because I had something dirty on the back of my bike?
But isn't it said that all evil spirits are afraid of dogs?
"Changming, why aren't you saying anything? Those three beasts just rushed out, why did you dodge? Why didn't you just run them over and kill them?" Hu Tudao took his hand off my waist, patted my back, and said indignantly.
"Brother, if I hit them with my electric bike, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? You might not know this, but when you encounter dogs while riding a motorcycle or electric bike, never hit them. It's not that you're afraid of being bitten, but their fur is too slippery. If you hit them, they'll twist their bodies, and your front wheel will swerve to the side. You'll definitely fall." I explained impatiently with a dark face.
I remember about half a year ago, I saw a man in Luojia Village who hit a dog with his motorcycle. He was thrown around so badly. The dog only howled a few times, got up, twisted its body, and left. But the man flew out of the car and lay on the road like a toad. Large chunks of flesh were scraped off his palms, elbows, knees, and ankles. When I passed by and saw it, I felt pain all over my body.
"Hmph, I don't know why, but those dog thieves never come to our village. It would be best to poison these three vicious dogs." Hu Tudao sneered and cursed.
I shook my head and didn't reply. There's a reason why dog thieves don't come here. Our village is like a pig cage; they come from one place and have to leave through the same place. If someone is caught stealing a dog in Liuluo Village and manages to escape, all they have to do is make a phone call to an acquaintance in another village, who will then stand guard at the crossroads with a stick. They won't be able to escape then.
After passing the threshing ground in Liuluo Village, it wasn't far from Hutudao's house. In less than two minutes, I took Hutudao back to his home.
Hu Tudao took out the pig's head and the duck, and left the chicken for me.
When I got home, it was almost one o'clock. I put the chicken in the refrigerator to chill, took a shower, and felt a little hungry. I didn't go to find anything to eat, and I just lay down and fell fast asleep.
"Zuo Changming."
"Zuo Changming, thank you for bringing me the food."
In a daze, I seemed to hear someone calling my name. I tried hard to open my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open them and couldn't see the person calling my name.
"Who are you?"
"Zuo Changming, thank you for letting me have a full meal. I am Ma Jiajie."
"Ma Jiajie? Weren't you sent away by Hu Tudao?"
"Yes, it's me. I haven't left yet."
"What? Then...where are you?"
"I don't know where I am, but I've already left that place. I guess I'm going to be reincarnated."
"Oh, didn't you already talk to your parents? Are you coming to see me now because there's still some unfulfilled wish?"
"No, I want to see my parents, but I can't find my way home."
"What? You possessed Hu Tudao's body, that is, the yellow-robed sorcerer, and you've already communicated with your parents?"
"No, after I finished eating, I found you being called by that fierce woman. I reminded you, and then you were led away by something."
"I see. So, you've come to see me now because you have something to tell me?"
"Well, I'm leaving soon. I came to thank you. Please tell my family to take good care of themselves. Also, there's a very fierce woman at the traffic light intersection. She's the one who locked me up there. If you hadn't fed me, I wouldn't have had the strength to escape."
"What? Then what exactly is she?"
"I don't know, I'm leaving..."
"Hey, Ma Jiajie, are you still there?"
"Ma Jiajie?"
I suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily, and opened my eyes to find that it was already dawn.
"Am I dreaming?" I reached up and touched my head, which was a little sore, and found that my forehead was covered with sweat.
I looked at my watch; it was already six o'clock in the morning.
I closed my eyes and carefully recalled what Ma Jiajie had said to me in my dream.
Ma Jiajie said that after he finished eating, he was going to be reincarnated, and there was a fierce woman at the traffic light intersection.
I'm not sure if I was just having a wild dream or if Ma Jiajie really did appear in my dream.
I shook my head, got up, washed my face and brushed my teeth, ate a bowl of congee in the kitchen, and was about to leave on my electric scooter when I remembered that the box on the back of the scooter had contained some grease from the previous night's use of sachets and similar products. I thought it would be better to clean it to avoid soiling other people's packages.
I found a damp cloth, opened the box to wipe it, and suddenly saw an egg lamp in the box on the left.
My expression changed instantly. I clearly remembered that I had given the egg lamp to Ma Dajun last night, so how did it suddenly reappear in my carriage?
Could it really be that Ma Jiajie appeared in my dream last night?
I recalled how Hu Tudao was possessed by Ma Jiajie last night, and the things he said. Something felt off. Hu Tudao said he would be very weak afterwards, but when he jumped off the car to grab the duck, he was too fierce.
Even though it was broad daylight, I wasn't scared. I took out the egg lamp, carefully wiped the carriage clean, and then put it back. Since Ma Jiajie said in the dream that she was going to be reincarnated, then this matter was over. I could go to work in peace. As for the things I wanted to say to Ma Dajun, I could go in and tell them when I had the chance, or make a phone call.
On my way to work, I found a trash can and threw the egg lamp in. Whether Hu Tudao was playing tricks last night or not was no longer important. Anyway, Ma Jiajie was gone. I took a deep breath of the morning air and immediately felt refreshed.
I went to the small shop in Liuluo Village, bought a pack of Hongzhenlong cigarettes for 6.5 yuan as usual, opened it, took out a cigarette, lit it, and was about to ride away on my bicycle.
"Changming, where's your girlfriend?" Old Mrs. San asked with a smile as she wiped the cigarette cabinet with a rag, looked up at me.
A few black lines appeared on my forehead. I didn't know how to explain, so I awkwardly replied, "We broke up."
After saying that, I hurriedly rode away. In my rearview mirror, I saw the old woman waving a rag at me with her mouth open and closed, but I couldn't hear what she was saying because of the distance.
