Xie Jin held a torch and got closer while ensuring his own safety.

The dog that suddenly appeared and several gray wolves scuffled together at first had the upper hand, but after all, the gray wolves had the numerical advantage, and no matter how fierce the dog was, it gradually became unstoppable.

Xie Jin looked around. He had just picked up a broken branch with the thickness of his wrist from the ground, and when he was about to put the fire on the branch, another gust of wind rushed past him.

The lighter was almost wiped out by the wind. Xie Jin calmed down and saw that the shadow that jumped over just now was another big dog. With its participation in this melee, the situation was suddenly reversed.

The gray wolves seemed to be very afraid of these two dogs and howled twice in a pretentious manner. The gray wolves glanced at Xie Jin a little unwillingly, and in the end they could only walk away with their tails between their tails.

When he mentioned his throat, he finally let go, Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at the two dogs and didn't dare to lean over for a while.

How can there be dogs in this deep mountain and old forest? Isn't Badong Village taboo against dogs?

The two dogs were quite large. The black one that rushed out to rescue Xie Jin first seemed to have been bitten through several blood holes, while the other brown one was licking its wounds with its head down.

After all, he was the savior who saved his own life. Xie Jinsi thought about it and thought that he shouldn't just leave.

He took out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao powder from his backpack, and put the torch on the ground. He waved to the two dogs and tried to call them over: "Bah, pup, come here."

Xie Jin originally thought that dogs living in the wild would also be hostile to humans, but after he called out, the two dogs actually dragged their injured bodies and walked over with their tails wagging.

The wet tongue licked his palm, Xie Jin frowned subconsciously, he squatted in front of the two dogs, and unscrewed the bottle of Yunnan Baiyao with one hand.

"Good, I didn't mean to hurt you, thank you for saving me, I need to give you medicine now."

Xie Jin saw that the two dogs were looking up, as if they understood, so he carefully sprinkled the powder on the wounds they were bitten by the gray wolf.

There was no anger in the imagination, the two wild dogs that suddenly appeared here were as docile as domestic dogs. They spun around at Xie Jin's feet with their tails wagging, and seemed to like the smell on Xie Jin's body.

"Wang! Wang Wang!" The black dog licked the blood on his body. It seemed to be a little old. In the firelight, Xie Jin saw that its fur had lost its luster and was rough as dry grass.

The black dog took a deep look at Xie Jin, and then it limped forward and looked at Xie Jin again. Seeing it like this, it seemed to want to lead the way for Xie Jin.

Xie Jin hesitated for a while, picked up the torch and walked over to look for it. After he was caught by the half-human tall weeds, he found the mark left by Wen Liang. The direction was right. Now he was even more convinced that the dog wanted to lead him.

He started to follow the black dog, and when the brown dog saw the two of them leave, he trotted all the way to Xie Jin's side, and followed Xie Jin forward while wagging his tail.

"Are you guys running out of Batong Village?" Xie Jin thought it was incredible when he said these words. Maybe it was because he had been with Jiu for a long time. He had become accustomed to talking to small animals, and he always felt that even ordinary animals had spirituality. of.

However, neither the black dog nor the brown dog responded to him. The two dogs seemed to be acquainted with Xie Jin, and taking him out of the woods seemed to be a matter of course.

But Xie Jin was sure that he had never seen them, so he guessed that he might have been in Badong Village for a long time, and his body was infected with the local flavor.

These two dogs might have run out of the village, and when they smelled this, they remembered their previous owners, so they were friendly to themselves.

However, because of the company of two dogs, the gray wolves did not harass him again until Xie Jin walked out of the forest and returned to the place where he got off the bus.

Xie Jin was standing on the broken-tailed cement road where He Nian had stopped. After the boundary between modern society and virgin forest, Ji Duan and Wen Liang were waiting for news from him in the village.

Can't waste any more time.

He pulled out two ham sausages from the few foods, and fed them to the two dogs. When they feasted on the pieces of meat compressed by modern technology, Xie Jin said goodbye to them.

Xie Jin walked forward along the bumpy concrete road when he came. He didn't notice that the two dogs behind him raised their heads after turning around, and there were complex expressions in their eyes, which were not like the emotions that ordinary dogs would show. .

In order to shorten the time on the road, Xie Jin carried a large bag that was somewhat empty and ran and stopped. When he was tired, he changed to walking. After resting, he continued to run.

After walking forward for five kilometers, Xie Jin finally stopped a truck passing by at a fork in the road.

"Little brother, why are you walking here in the middle of the night? Are you not afraid of wild beasts?" The truck driver took the initiative to lower the window, and spoke with a warm accent from the Northeast, "Would you like to give me a ride?"

Xie Jin tugged on the straps of the waterproof bag on both shoulders. He carefully sized up the driver in front of him. After making sure that the driver was not from Badong Village, he forced a smile: "Thank you, if you don't bother..."

"What's the trouble, no trouble! Come on, get in the car!" The truck driver leaned over from the driver to open the passenger door, "There are often beasts in this area, and those beasts will kill people from time to time, eh, right, little brother Where are you going?"

"Heavenly River Town." Xie Jin grabbed the door frame and boarded the van. There was a stench of oil and sweat in the car, and his expression was slightly stiff, "Is the place I'm going to far from your destination?"

The truck driver picked up a pack of crumpled cigarettes from the glove box in the middle of the car, took one in his mouth, and then handed the pack to Xie Jin.

After Xie Jin politely refused, he said: "It's not far, I was going to deliver goods there. Where are you going to Heavenly River Town? I can take you there directly."

"Thank you, I'm going to the train station in Heavenly River Town." Xie Jin had just put on his seat belt, and he had just rolled the window down a gap when he saw the truck driver rush out with a kick of the accelerator.

The stomach that was not wearing a seat belt was still shaking three times as the car accelerated.

In the warm greetings from the driver's elder brother, Xie Jin booked the earliest ticket to Celebration State. Since there is no direct connection, he has to get off at the transfer station on the way, and then switch to the high-speed rail.

As for the identity of the driver's eldest brother, it seems that there is no big problem.

During the chat, Xie Jin learned that he is a truck driver who specializes in transporting timber. This time, he passed by Lipu County in the middle of the night because there was an urgent need for timber goods at the construction site, so he met Xie Jin by chance.

In the end, Xie Jin couldn't hold back the truck driver, and smoked a cigarette while the other party was jokingly laughing, and the small carriage became smoggy. Xie Jin hurriedly turned his head to the window, and at the same time opened the gap wider.

"Hahahaha, brother, you can't do this. It doesn't look like you smoke often." The truck driver held the steering wheel with one hand, glanced at Xie Jin from the corner of his eye while watching the road, and still teased him.

Xie Jin snuffed out the remaining cigarette butts, and he grinned a little embarrassedly: "I don't smoke often. I was not in good health before, but I couldn't smoke anymore because I had no money."

"I see that you are not very old, what's wrong with such a young body?"

The truck driver didn't see the bitterness in the corner of Xie Jin's mouth. He continued to ask, "There are no big things in life, it's nothing more than trivial things at home. I'm satisfied with my wife and children on the bed."

Seeing that Xie Jin didn't answer, the truck driver raised his hand and took out a faded photo from behind the side mirror, "Here, these are my wife and daughter."

Xie Jin put down the phone and he took the picture. The woman in the photo was not very good-looking, but she looked very virtuous, and the little girl next to her was about the same age as Droktada, smiling carefree.

"It's so cute." Xie Jin softly sighed as he stroked the immature face of the little girl in the photo with his fingertips.

"Hey, I got married early, and the children are so old." The driver took the photo back from his hand and put it back in its original place. "And you, are you married?"

Xie Jin didn't expect that he would hear such an intimate question from a driver he had just met not long ago. This kind of question was never even asked by his real father, so he was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer it.

"Not yet, but I have a lover." After deliberating for a long time, Xie Jin chose to use the term "lover" to describe the relationship between Ji Duan and himself.

"Oh? Lover~" the truck driver looked at him with meaningful eyes, and clicked his tongue, "It's nice to be young, then I wish you a happy marriage as soon as possible, and a happy marriage for a hundred years."

Xie Jin buried his face in his chest, and he didn't care whether this posture would cause motion sickness, but just now, for some reason, there was a picture of Ji Duan and himself walking into the hall in formal clothes.

Without speaking again, Xie Jin turned his face to the car window and pretended to be asleep. don't know if it was because of his return to the modern society. Smelling the smell of the car market, Xie Jin really fell into a deep sleep amidst the bumps.

It wasn't until he realized that the car had stopped in the chaos that he opened his bloodshot eyes. The sky was almost dawning. Xie Jin looked at his watch. It was now 4:15, the time since he got on the bus from Lipu County. for nearly two hours.

"Little brother, don't sleep, the train station is here." The truck driver opened the door from the co-pilot, Xie Jin blinked his sore eyes vigorously, and found that he was still carrying a pancake egg and soy milk in his hand.

"Just got out of the car and looked for something to eat, this is for you." The truck driver stuffed the food for Xie Jin, and he watched Xie Jin step on the car slowly from the co-pilot, "Anyway, eat something hot and eat it again." On the road, didn't you say that you were in poor health before?"

"...Thank you, brother." I don't know if it's because he just woke up or because he got emotional all of a sudden, Xie Jin's eyes turned red.

He fumbled into his pocket, took out a leather wallet, and took out two red banknotes from it, "Brother, this is a little kindness, thank you for your hard work..."

"Don't! I'm just on the way, collect the money!" The truck driver was unhappy when he saw the money, and he shoved the money back to Xie Jin very strongly, "Am I really angry anymore?"

Pushing Xie Jin's shoulders and sending people into the crowd at the station, the truck driver sat back in the car and watched Xie Jin's back melt into the crowd.

He sighed and touched the photo behind the rearview mirror again. But this time, along with the photo, there were two neatly folded pink banknotes.

"Oh, this man."

The truck driver picked up the two hundred dollars, held it in his hand and looked at it again and again, and finally put it back behind the rearview mirror. He took out his mobile phone from the glove box and called a number.

"Hello? It's me, I've already picked up the person you're talking about... what? Why didn't I send it to you, ah! He found it, and jumped off the car near the Heavenly River Town tourist area."

Lighting another cigarette, the truck driver snorted out the window, "I don't know where he went, you can check it yourself."

I had a headache when got home after going out yesterday, so I'll update it today, sorry
