Chapter 10 Puppies
Soon, the group of children noticed Chen Ling walking on the road and immediately ran towards him.
After running up to him, a sharp-eyed child recognized Chen Ling.
"It's Uncle Fugui!"
"Uncle Fugui, help me, there is a dead man in the pit..."
Chen Ling had already walked towards them at this time.
"Where are the dead people? Where are they?"
With adults around, the children are not so scared.
After hearing Chen Ling's question, the child who first recognized Chen Ling pointed to a ruined temple in the distance and said:
"It's right there, in the tree pit behind the Tutu Temple."
"I saw it too, my clothes were torn, my hair was exposed, and there were bones..."
"It's so scary!"
"Yes, yes, I also saw it The clothes are moving."
"No wonder my mother doesn't let me go to the Tutu Temple, saying that it is the darkest there at night."
"As soon as the sun goes down, the temple door becomes dark. It turned into a monster's mouth, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooole, it seems like my mother is not fooling anyone."
A group of children started shouting without even catching their breath.
As he spoke, he patted his chest with lingering fear, his little face full of fear.
But the more Chen Ling listened, the more something was wrong...
Feeling a little suspicious, he asked carefully and found that these children did not really see clearly.
I just stood on the side and took a look. There were bones, messy hair, and rotten clothes. I thought it was a dead person, so I ran away in fear.
Didn't get closer to see.
Chen Ling was speechless after hearing this.
He was quite nervous just now, thinking that someone really died there. In a short period of time, he even imagined a folk murder drama in the 1990s.
As a result, after listening to what these children said, it is basically certain that these children were wrong and were just scaring themselves.
"Liu Ni'er, why did you run so far away? Is there no place for you to play at the east end of the village? You have to run to the west end of the village, and you're not afraid of someone kidnapping you."
Chen Ling said to the child who recognized him first.
This boy's home is not far from Chen Ling's house, and he has five sisters. When he came here, he thought she was still a girl, so he gave her the nickname Liu Nier early.
It turned out that he was a son, so he didn’t change.
"To the east is the reservoir, and Ida won't let me go."
Liu Nier sniffed and smiled at Chen Ling.
"Okay, you guys go home quickly. Don't go so far to play without an adult following you."
Chen Ling waved her hand and said.
"But Uncle Fugui, there are really dead people behind the Tutu Temple..."
A little girl whispered with a pale face, still looking very scared.
“Don’t talk nonsense about dead people. Didn’t you just have a big offering at the Earth Temple when you were in the first year of junior high school?”
"It's only been a few days. If someone dies, can the adults not see it? Go back quickly."
Chen Ling finally persuaded the children to go back.
However, after the children left, Chen Ling decided to go to the Earth Temple to have a look.
Although I know that 80% of the time it’s the children who saw it wrong, but to be on the safe side, it’s better to take a quick look.
……
The Tutu Temple is not big and has not been repaired for several years.
Just clean it every New Year, hang up fresh red cloth, and repaint the couplets.
It is located alone beside a path in the field. Behind it is a large pit with a depth of two meters, as big as three or four acres. The pit is full of big trees that are more than ten years old.
In summer, the tree canopy covers the sky and the sun, making it a good place to enjoy the shade.
But it looks very dark at night, which makes people feel scared.
Therefore, many adults make up stories about monsters behind the Earth Temple to scare their children and prevent them from running around outside the village. Because there are many child abductors in this era. Once abducted, it is difficult to find them back.
At this time, Chen Ling came to the Tutu Temple and looked around.
The temple door is locked, but the crack in the door is large, and you can clearly see the things in the temple.
There was no one in the surrounding fields.
Only the kites of Liu Nier and several children landed not far away, scattered and tangled together.
Chen Ling walked over, unwrapped the kite string, put it into the cave, and planned to return it to the children when he returned.
Then walked towards the back of the Earth Temple.
I went down to the pit and searched carefully, and soon found what Liu Nier and the others were talking about between two big trees.
Rotten clothes, messy hair, and bones...
When Chen Ling walked over, something was squirming slightly under the ragged clothes.
If you listen carefully, you can hear bursts of 'humming' sounds. The sounds are so subtle that you can't hear them unless you walk close to them.
Chen Ling squatted down, gently opened his clothes, and saw the body of a dog.
The black dog is frozen.
But the belly still squirms from time to time, with two small tails exposed, and weak whining sounds coming from time to time.
Chen Ling immediately knew what was going on.
Carefully removing the body of the black dog, you saw two pups, one black and one yellow, shivering with their eyes still open. They were obviously just born.
After Chen Ling removed the body of the black dog, the two little guys grunted and crawled around, instinctively looking for milk.
Unfortunately, their mother has died. I don’t know whether it was due to dystocia or other reasons. It is impossible for them to drink breast milk.
“These two little guys are probably only two or three days old. They even had diarrhea in the cold weather. I don’t know if they can survive...”
Chen Ling touched the two puppies, feeling unsure.
After all, I haven’t eaten anything since I was born. There are still a few pieces of loose feces on the rotten clothes, which is obviously a loose stool.
Anyone with experience knows that such a puppy cannot survive.
But it’s definitely not possible to just leave it alone. I can only hope that the Sun Moon Cave Sky is magical enough.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Ling grabbed the two puppies and took them into the cave.
...
Inside the cave.
Chen Ling walked to the stream with two puppies in his arms, dipped his hands in the stream water and fed them little by little.
I fed him back and forth several times, and the effect did not disappoint him.
I saw that the two little guys who were extremely weak just now had opened their eyes.
He rubbed his little head affectionately into Chen Ling's arms, as if he wanted to beg for water.
“Good guys, this is a stream, do you think this is for drinking milk?”
Chen Ling looked at the two girls hunching back and forth in his arms, like they were looking for milk to drink. You bastard, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I immediately put them on the ground and fed them several times with water from the stream.
After a while, the two little guys became lively and able to move their legs and run in a small area.
While running, he made a clear and powerful cry.
Now I no longer have to worry about whether they can survive.
Chen Ling smiled when he saw this and carried the two puppies back to the hut.
Then he picked up the hoe and left the cave.
When he came to the outside world, Chen Ling disposed of the black dog's body, dug a nearby hole with a hoe, and buried it in it.
The temperature is still low now, and the black dog's time to die is still short. There is no peculiar smell, but it is not good if it is left here and left alone.
Chen Ling simply buried the hole, filled it with soil, put the hoe back into the cave, and continued walking towards the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.
