C16 Ferocious beast
Following the markings we made when we entered the Xiao Xi Kou, we smoothly exited the forest.
When they just got out of the woods, they saw a few flashes of light. Then they saw their aunt, the village chief and the others walking up to them. They were happy to say that the child had found them.
But when they saw the bloody Wang Kuisheng lying on the stretcher, they were all stunned.
The reason why they were stunned was not because of their shock, but from fright. In an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with fear.
The moment they saw us walk out of the forest, there were still people in the crowd saying, "Looks like this Xiao Xi Kou is not as amazing as they thought."
At this moment, everyone's surprise was replaced by fear.
Wu Ji said: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and send them to the hospital."
The village chief finally regained his senses and organized a few people to carry Wang Kuisheng, and then jogged back to the village.
When she saw that we were fine, she let out a breath of relief and then asked us how Wang Kuisheng was injured.
After I briefly narrated the situation, First Aunt paused before saying, "How many years has it been since anyone has entered the forest? I can't guarantee that there won't be any beasts. It's best to stay far away from them from now on."
Wu Ji did not say anything the entire time. Seeing his solemn expression, the aunt asked him if he could see anything.
"I'm not sure." Wu Ji shook his head.
"If I can't be sure, then it means that I have gained some knowledge? "What is it? Tell me!" I asked urgently.
Wu Ji shook his head again, "I'll tell you about it after I'm certain."
When he made up his mind not to say anything, even the eight oxen couldn't tear their mouths open. I rolled my eyes at him resentfully.
When we walked back to the village, Wang Kuisheng was already bandaged up at the village clinic. The doctor said that the wounds on his body looked scary, but they were not fatal, it was just that there were too many wounds, so he fainted from excessive blood loss. Because we brought him back in time, he only needed to rest and he would be fine for a few days in the hospital.
I couldn't help but exclaim. Previously, Wang Kuisheng said that he wouldn't risk his life just for five thousand, so he abandoned us and went back alone.
However, his choice caused him to almost lose his life for the five thousand yuan. If he had accompanied us on this journey, this matter might not have happened at all.
Sometimes things are unpredictable.
Afterwards, Big Aunt said that Lin Shouyi's son was found less than an hour after we entered the forest, but he was unable to reach us on the phone. The Village Chief was trying to gather people to go into the forest to find us, but he did not expect us to come out first.
I asked the boy where he had found it.
The aunt said that the child saw a very big dog and ran after it, and unknowingly chased it to the west side of the field of bracts, and fell asleep again.
Lin Shouyi said that the villager who saw the child walking towards the west said that he only saw the child walking by himself, and did not see anything else.
As soon as I said that, I, Wu Ji looked at each other.
"What did that big dog look like?" I asked my aunt.
However, the aunt shook her head and said, "The child didn't say it clearly either. She only said that it was a very big dog that she hadn't seen before in the village."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hand.
From what I can see from my aunt's gestures, that guy is at least two meters long and one meter tall. He can be considered a huge dog, and even if there really was a dog as big as that, it would have already been blown up long ago.
Aunt did not want me to be involved with Wu Ji, so she urged us not to think too much into it after what had happened.
But after experiencing all these, Wu Ji and I were even more curious about that Xiao Xi Kou and the big dog that children talk about.
The next day at noon, we first went to see Wang Kuisheng. He had already woken up, but we can't remember what attacked him last night.
All he could remember was that a shadow had suddenly pounced on his back from behind, that he had been thrown to the ground and then scratched and then dragged along by the shadow and knocked unconscious, and then he remembered nothing more.
I was disappointed at the answer, and was about to hear something more surprising from him.
When we were about to leave, Wang Kuisheng thought for a moment and said that he felt that the thing that attacked him was a ferocious beast like a tiger.
Hearing that, Wu Ji and I looked at each other as we had our own thoughts.
The child saw the big dog and wondered if there was a connection between Wang Kuisheng being attacked by a tiger-like wild beast.
After that, Wu Ji and I went to the Village Chief's house.
Upon seeing the two of us, the Village Chief became extremely enthusiastic, saying that the two of us are young, willing to take the risk and enter Xiao Xi Kou in order to save his grandson.
When Lin Shouyi saw us, for the first time ever, he did not even put on a face.
Wu Ji and I have not come to the Lin Family to seek favors.
While he was talking, a five or six-year-old boy ran out of the house. He held a plastic toy sword in his hand and was waving it around.
"Is this precious?" I asked.
Lin Shouyi's child was called Lin Gui. From this name, it could be seen how precious this child was to the Lin Clan.
The village chief called out to Lin Gui and greeted us.
The child ran over with a toy sword in hand and called her big brother and big sister with her rosy face.
Wu Ji squatted down, and smiled gently as he asked Lin Gui: "Do you know how to use the sword?"
Lin Gui immediately brandished his sword at the side.
After that, Wu Ji laughed and said that he wanted to teach Su Yun how to use the sword, so he took the toy sword and walked a distance away.
The few of us watched from the side, only to see Wu Ji raise his power, and the toy sword in his hand released a few sword flowers, and with light footsteps, he turned his body, forcefully putting the cheap toy sword in his ancient costume.
The village chief and the other two villagers clapped their hands and cheered. I was also stunned by what I saw.
We spent some time together, but we never knew he knew how to use a sword.
Wu Ji returned the sword back to Lin Gui, and asked him why he ran out by himself yesterday.
Lin Gui looked at Wu Ji as a hero, and naturally asked him what he wanted to say.
Originally, everything happened exactly as Aunt had said, but under Wu Ji's guidance, Lin Gui recounted the events more accurately.
Lin Guisheng was playing in the yard at noon when he suddenly saw a big dog standing at the entrance of the yard. At first he was a little scared, but then he noticed that the big dog didn't look that fierce, so he curiously went over.
But as soon as Lin Gui walked over, the big dog immediately stood up and started walking slowly. However, Lin Gui was unable to catch up to him, and eventually he reached the field of bracts. He did not know why, but he fell asleep.
I asked him what the big dog looked like and how big.
Lin Gui said that the big dog had red, black and yellow fur, a particularly large tail, and two antlers beside its ears. Its face was even bigger than their foot wash basin, and its four horns were even taller than his.
The more I listened, the more mystified I became. Not to mention if there really was such a big dog in the village, why would the dog have antlers on its head?
"Are you sure it's a dog, not a deer? A dog's head won't grow horns. " I gently asked Lin Gui.
He said firmly, "I've been to the zoo. If a deer doesn't look like that, then it's a dog!"
Wu Ji and I looked at each other and thought that we wouldn't be able to find anything more useful.
The village chief walked us out of the courtyard and asked softly: "Wu Ji, Nun Qing, what do you think the precious thing is? I asked his father a few times yesterday and he insisted that it was a big dog, but there's no way there could be such a big dog in this village. "
The village chief's words implied that he was worried that some evil and obscenity would come to him.
Wu Ji comforted her: "Even if it's really a spiritual item, since there's no damage value, it should be fine."
Only then did the Village Chief nod his head. Although he hesitated, he did not say anything else.
The two main parties had already asked, but not only did they not get the answer, the matter was even more complicated.
I had always been impatient, but now I was a little discouraged.
However, Wu Ji said that there was one more person that we had yet to ask.
As he reminded me, I immediately remembered.
I sent for the mayor and told him to take us to see the neighbor who had reported to his house yesterday.
Without another word, the village chief led us to the man.
After some questioning, he confirmed that Lin Gui was the only person he saw yesterday, and that there wasn't any big dog in sight.
Moreover, he also said that when he saw Lin Gui, that child's eyes were dull. He didn't even respond to several shouts, as if he didn't even see anyone walk past him.
If he had not felt that the child was abnormal, he would not have gone to inform the Village Head.
