How to tell if a dog has been replaced?
It’s a bit difficult. No matter how uncomfortable your pet is, you can only send it to a pet hospital to find out what’s wrong with it. As for whether it has lost its memory or something... we’ll wait until the dog language translator is actually invented.
Human beings were confused for a while.
Qi Zhuyue began to think, if even non-human creatures began to be eroded and replaced——
Sensing the concern that emerged from the human being, Bai Su opened his mouth and said a few words of relief.
"Don't worry, the city should be... well, at least it was fine when we left."
"?"
"That is to say, the animals in the city should not be affected. It is normal, but as time goes by, you won't know." The black-haired young man said, and nodded seriously, "Look, all places have The reports seem to say that the doppelgänger incident has spread over a large area, doesn’t this mean that the situation is getting more and more serious?”
There are now a large area of people, and there is no guarantee that the disease will spread from people to animals or even other creatures like in this village.
After all, strictly speaking, the special department has never discovered the real target of the black sludge.
Why do you want to attack humans, why do you want to look like humans, and why do you want to replace humans.
Qi Zhuyue looked deep in thought and did not recover until she reached the door of Wen Jianyuan's house.
When she stood still at the door, she realized that she didn't seem to tell the other three people that their route had changed.
He turned his gaze to Bai Su without any hope. The latter looked at Qi Zhuyue in confusion. After a few seconds, he looked at his left hand with his right hand as if he suddenly understood.
"I forgot to tell Senior Tang and the others, Wen Tao, why don't you go tell me?"
"…Why me."
After muttering, Qi Zhuyue took out her phone and started editing the message.
This time, the circle in front of the bubble box took a long time when the message was sent. The signal in the village seemed not as good as the outside world, but after a while, it was sent out.
Not long after, the OK emoticon was replied to in the small chat group, and Tang Nuo said he would leave soon.
Qi Zhuyue was a little confused as to why the word "wait a minute" was used. There was no other news in the group, so she had no choice but to stand with Bai Su near Wen Jianyuan's house and wait.
Without going in first, they thought it would be better to act together.
While standing there with nothing else to do, Qi Zhuyue remembered Bai Su's previous chat with the little girl. She found that every house Bai Su asked about was introduced by Wen Jianyuan at the beginning, as if to compare one by one.
The little girl's answer is basically consistent with Wen Jianyuan's answer, such as how many people are in the family and what happened at home recently.
However, the children's answers always have a childish tone. Compared with the adults' smoothness and concealment, the little girl exposed some of the contradictory interpersonal relationships of the villagers.
Qi Zhuyue was thinking about the possibility of using the information. She was about to ask Bai Su for his opinion, but found that the other person was focused on playing with his mobile phone.
His expression was so entranced that no one could bear to disturb him.
Bai Su was chatting with others.
There are too many messages accumulated, and my phone may explode if I don’t deal with it.
The operation of blocking him flashed through his mind. Finally, Bai Su opened the chat box and started reading the messages from the top.
The one who harassed him was An Xiangwen.
An Xiangwen's discharge time was completely different from that of Bai Su. Bai Su, who had "work" to do, did not go to the hospital again.
So, An Xiangwen, who considered himself Bai Su's "passed" friend, spontaneously came to visit the day after he was discharged from the hospital, which was this morning.
Then, An Xiangwen pounced.
There was no response when he knocked on the door. This time, Bai Quan didn't even come to open the door for him, because Bai Su had also asked Bai Quan to help him implement the persona of traveling far away.
As long as there is nothing serious at home, let the white dog go in and out of the windows to avoid human sight.
So when Bai Quan heard the knock on the door, he pretended not to hear it and lay flat on the ground pretending to be a puddle of cake.
The curly-haired young man outside the door knocked several times, and finally knocked out the neighbor next door. The neighbor's uncle claimed that Bai Su had left with a bag early in the morning.
"Looking at the size of that bag, you must be going on a trip, right?"
An Xiangwen, who always felt that he had missed something, immediately began to review the playback. After finishing the live broadcasts and recordings that he had missed due to being busy being discharged from the hospital and dealing with friends in the past two days, he found that Bai Su had really gone out.
Where to go? have no idea.
Bai Su is not someone who likes to post on WeChat Moments. Apart from business-related photos such as dogs and food, there are almost no traces of his daily life.
The curly-haired young man thought for a while and decisively started asking through the chat software.
This is the benefit of having contact information!
The messages started to be sent in the morning and continued intermittently until the afternoon. An Xiangwen was about to have dinner when he finally got a reply.
Bai Su glanced at the 99+ messages An Xiangwen sent intermittently. Most of them were nonsense. To summarize, the curly-haired young man raised many questions after he went to his house to find someone in the morning but failed.
For example, where did Brother Bai go to play? What should Brother Bai do with his live broadcast these days? Oh, Brother Bai’s live broadcast has lasted long enough. What about Brother Bai, your dog?
Then the curly-haired young man recommended himself, saying that he had excellent experience in helping people take care of dogs, and sent several photos of him with dogs of different breeds.
Looks a bit like a dog, not sure, let's take another look.
Bai Su moved his fingers as his eyes passed over the smiling faces of several silly dogs on the sled.
[Collecting style]: No, please leave it to someone else.
[I never want to be hospitalized again]: Huh? Who?
An Xiangwen didn't know why he had the attitude of asking for the truth. He wanted to know who had taken away the joy of raising a dog for him.
Bai Su, who felt a little strange, thought, are humans so hungry that even fake dogs have to fight for it?
But think about it from another perspective, does this prove that Bai Quan is very successful in acting as a pet dog...?
[I never want to be hospitalized again]: Xiaobai No. 2 is a very effective dog! Do you know how many people in your fan base want to touch it offline?
Good question, he knows and doesn’t know.
Bai Su faithfully implements the principle of staying away from fans on weekdays. If no one mentions it to him, he doesn't care about it at all.
He did get a glimpse of it in the comments and forwarding sections, but he thought that human beings were just happy with their mouths, just like those who clamored for "words of wolves and tigers".
The curly-haired young man asked, and Bai Su thought for a while.
He rummaged through his social circle, which was small enough to count.
People from the special department definitely can't do it, and neither can Wang Muying. She knows An Xiangwen.
After thinking about it, Bai Su thought of a suitable name.
He reported Qiao Jiang's name, and as expected, An Xiangwen asked "Who is this?"
[Gathering]: I just met someone new at work... let’s call him a new colleague.
[I never want to be hospitalized again]:?
An Xiangwen was a little suspicious, but he had no way to verify it, so he could only believe whatever Bai Su said.
In the end, the curly-haired young man regretfully gave up the possibility of raising Xiao Bai No. 2, and instead asked where Bai Su went to play.
The black-haired young man thought for a moment, raised his hand and took a picture of the sky.
The bloody setting sun is about to sink into the rolling mountains, and the orange-red halo spreads out layer by layer like water waves.
It's a beautiful sunset picture, but no geographical information can be seen.
The photo was transferred for a while before being sent to An Xiangwen's mobile phone.
There are many similar photos that can be found online with the theme of sunset and mountain scenery. The curly-haired young man could only guess that the place Bai Su went to was not one of those scenic spots.
The photo of the sunset put an end to the day's continuous harassment. In reality, the person Bai Su and the others were waiting for appeared in the distance on the road, and he put away his cell phone.
Qi Zhuyue waved her hand beside Bai Su: "You are finally here."
Bai Su raised his hand.
The black-haired young man had no obvious feeling of time passing while chatting with others, but Qi Zhuyue had really stood there in a daze for so long.
She listened to the sound of cooking pots and the voices of men and women in the courtyard gradually dying down, watched the sun slowly sinking into the mountains, and also dealt with a few villagers who passed by to watch them daze under the tree.
Qi Zhuyue always smiled and used the excuse that she was bringing friends back to play, and she laughed for a long time, and her smile was still a little stiff.
Now seeing an acquaintance coming over, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally she doesn't have to act alone here.
The three people who appeared on the road today were indistinguishable. The main reason was that Xia Chengyin and Gao Tianyi, who had put on a peaked cap, were chatting with each other. The one wearing glasses was walking in front of them indifferently.
As you get closer, you can still hear the short-haired police officer's voice suppressing his temper: "...are you still running around?"
The next sentence was the young man's reluctant defense: "I didn't run around. If you hadn't scared me, there wouldn't have been an accident!"
After two words without beginning and end, Bai Su turned his doubtful eyes to Tang Nuo.
The latter shrugged and replied: "After you went out to send the little girl home, the three of us also went out for a walk."
Mainly, the underage high school students ran in front, followed by two adults to prevent accidents. Who knew that Gao Tianyi was so slippery that he slipped out of sight without paying attention.
Qi Zhuyue was attacked just now, so he didn't feel like letting him go alone. Xia Chengyin reluctantly suppressed his beating forehead and quickly caught the minor again within five minutes.
When they found the person, Gao Tianyi's furry head stuck out from the grass that was half a man tall. The young man squatted there, not knowing what he was digging in the grass.
Xia Chengyin stepped forward and pulled the person up by his collar.
"Gao-Tian-Yi-"
"well--"
He lifted the person out of the grass and shook him, throwing away a lot of grass clippings.
The young man who was mentioned just complained that his neck was being strangled, but his eyes were still fixed on the grass.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Chengyin asked, "Don't think that you can ignore the sudden disappearance of something you discovered!"
With his feet off the ground, Gao Tianyi held one arm and dipped his other hand into some moist soil. He put his fingers under the tip of his nose and smelled it, lost in thought.
"That's pretty much the situation." Tang Nuo concluded, "Gao Tianyi said the soil over there is a bit strange."
The three of them were walking towards the outside of the village, but there was no way down the mountain but a hill with dead grass growing wildly.
Originally he was just standing inside the village boundary looking out, but who knew that Gao Tianyi tilted his head and ran away without even saying hello.
When asked how he was attracted, Taoist priest Xiao Gao said that it involved some metaphysical issues.
Xia Chengyin punched him with a dark face: "Speak humanly."
Gao Tianyi held his head in pain: "There's a smell of rotting corpses over there. I think that was originally the cemetery of this village."
"Not now?" Qi Zhuyue asked subconsciously.
Gao Tianyi shook his head: "There is nothing over there now." He squatted there and dug for a few minutes without finding anything, and then he touched a little smelly soil.
If you show this to others, they may not be able to tell.
"Let's discuss this issue later." Tang Nuo raised his finger and pointed to the house next to him, "Why don't you go in to eat first?"
Others felt that it would be better to go back and talk about the specific situation and findings.
Starting with Qi Zhuyue, they knocked on the door, and someone quickly came out to answer the door.
Wen Jianyuan gave "Wen Tao" a big hug as soon as he opened the door, and then invited people inside.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in quickly, Taotao, your aunt has cooked a big meal for you."
The entrance is a courtyard structure with a similar structure. To the south are two living rooms, and the kitchen and dining area are to the west.
Before eating, humans usually exchange a few pleasantries.
The rest of the people were guests, so they were asked a few questions about whether the environment of the house was okay and whether any furniture was damaged. They could help replace it.
After only staying for a few hours, I naturally didn’t have any special impressions, so the person who was mainly responsible for communication was “Wen Tao”.
"I haven't been back for a long time. How do you feel about the village now?"
"It feels almost the same as when I was a kid...right, where is my brother?"
"Oh?...Oh, ask Shengsheng. He is about the same age and has gone out to work. He will probably come back every few years like you."
"Oh, I didn't expect my brother to be old too...but I remember he just...graduated from high school, right?"
"It's terrible. It would be great if that kid went to high school. He's not good at studying. After this year's college entrance examination, he said he doesn't want to study any more. He's an adult anyway, so we let him out."
After saying that, the middle-aged man added a complaint in a low voice: "This is too fast, let the boy wait, wait until the sacrifice is over, and then leave..."
She caught the word "sacrifice" sharply, but "Wen Tao" didn't ask directly. She felt that now was not a good occasion.
She continued on the topic of reading. She said that she could no longer see the school she remembered from her childhood in the village, and asked where children nowadays go to school.
"They're going to school. Weren't there a few cars where you parked before? An adult from the village will drive them to school outside."
"Now the village is not what it used to be. Young people are all running away, and there are fewer children in the village. It is not cost-effective to run a school, so we might as well demolish it to make room... Okay, let's not talk anymore, let's eat first."
After chatting for a few words, we walked to the place to eat.
He opened the door curtain and saw a woman with a simple and kind face sitting there. Seeing them come in, she stood up and welcomed them.
Not to mention how to respond to the elders' welcome, everyone who entered the door paused.
Fish... so many fish.
