CH 33.2

After wandering around the mountain for a few days, Xie Wenhuo was familiar with the path on the mountain, and they soon climbed to the top of the mountain.

“It’s such a big mountain, where would they bury that girl?” Because this mountain was so big, the people patrolling here couldn’t find the missing children, much less find a body buried underneath the soil. Xie Wenhuo frowned: “We can’t possibly have to hollow out this mountain ba?”

“One person disappeared yesterday, disappearing with Xiao Hua,” Si Yu said suddenly, “Do any of you remember the area where you last saw him?”

“I saw it.” Xue Xiao heard this and brought everyone to a large area. 

Because it had been dark, Xue Xiao could only barely point out the approximate location with a large rock on the ground. Others nodded and started digging inch by inch nearby.

Fang Zhi manipulated the shovel in his hand and tried hard to find it. Because the area was very vague, they could only roughly dig from the center outwards.

At noon, the sun was very big. Gu Xizhou leaned against the shade of trees and took a small rest.

As they dug, there was suddenly some movement around Xie Wenhuo. The people’s voices trembled, and they dug up the body of the man who had disappeared with Xiao Hua yesterday!

The body had been buried upright in the soil. The rest of the group immediately came around, and they dug up a total of five corpses of different degrees of rotting in the area.

And in the middle of those five bodies, they found a very small body. Right when they out that body–

All the dogs in the whole town barked, those on the mountain and those below the mountain, all barked at the same time.

“Woof woof woof!”

“Woof woof woof!”

Gu Xizhou saw a dog running from a distance, and its rotting body changed, gradually growing more meat and fur.

It could be seen that its owner loved it very much. Its fur was white, and it stuck out its tongue to gently lick the bones of the girl on the ground. This was the first time Gu Xizhou saw it during the day, and it silently dragged the corpse To the town.

After those words landed, Gu Xizhou saw the other half of the missing door appear slowly. Without hesitation, he opened the door.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Gu Xizhou heard a puppy’s bark.

“Woof woof!”

The sound was very soft. It was a puppy.

He was picked up by a pair of small hands, and Gu Xizhou saw a lovely smile, a brilliant grin that was clean and pure.

The picture changed quickly. Gu Xizhou saw several children in the yard appear. The puppy had been lying obediently in its kennel, but was suddenly picked up and put into the pocket of some children. It howled twice.

“Hmph, not letting us play with this dog, we insist on playing!”

“Yes, she’s definitely going to cry when she comes back, hahaha!”

A few children whispered. Gu Xizhou couldn’t see the situation outside, but he could hear the sounds around him, and he guessed that he should be on the mountain now.

Suddenly, the sunlight was dazzling, and irritated Gu Xizhou’s eyes to the point of pain. The dog had been released by several children.

Pain pulled his attention back.

A child was pulling on the dog’s tail. When he saw how the dog couldn’t walk, he laughed, as if he had found some interesting plaything. 

The children picked up branches from the ground and hit the dog. The puppy was beaten until it howled without stopping, and its body trembled with pain. Just when it was desperate, a soft voice rang in its ears.

Gu Xizhou looked at the girl.

One of the boys was pushed by the angry girl who came. She exclaimed: “Li Ming, why do you want to bully Little White?!”

“Heh, I’m not only bullying it, I’m also going to bully you!” The child named Li Ming pushed the girl who had rushed over to the ground with a backhand, and then directed his other companions to continue beating the dog.

“Hahaha, your father and mother gave birth to a younger brother, they don’t want you anymore! They just dumped you here!”

“That’s right, what’s so great about you, do you think they really love you?”

The little girl got up from the ground, picked up the stone from the ground and threw it at Li Ming. “Your father and mother don’t want you!”

The boy did not expect the girl to retaliate. His eyes were red with anger, as if ready to kill.

They bullied the girl just as they had bullied the dog just now. They drove her and beat her with branches. The girl stumbled and rolled down the side of the mountain, until she hit a tree halfway down the mountain. When several children caught up, they saw blood on the ground, and they knew something bad had happened. 

No one knew whose idea it was, but they planned to bury the girl. The puppy saw this and wanted to stop them, but was kicked away. One of its hind legs was broken, but the puppy didn’t give up. It endured the pain and bit at one of the children’s trousers, hoping to stop their behavior.

“Awoo…awoo!”

The puppy looked at the girl who was about to be buried.

Gu Xizhou followed its gaze, and looked at the girl in surprise… She hadn’t died yet, but the children didn’t realise this, and continued to fill the hole with soil. Like this, the girl was buried. 

Buried alive.

The puppy climbed down the mountain to ask for help, but was seen by passers-by and left in the trash.

Time passed in a flash. Little White had been taken back to the city for treatment, and had almost made a full recovery. There had been several attempts to run away from home, but every time, it was found. Later, when there was no one at home, all the doors and windows would be closed and it could not leave at all.

Some time after that, the family brought it back to the countryside on National Day. It didn’t recognise the place at first, but when it entered the yard, it smelled familiar.

“Woof woof woof!” It was them, they buried the little lady!

“Woof woof woof!” The little master is here!

“Woof woof woof!” Let them take me to the little master! I want to dig her out!

The dog knew it wanted to leave, so that day it bit off the rope, and it bit the Li family’s children, hoping they would take it to find the little lady and dig out the little lady.

It did not understand what death was. It naively thought that as long as the girl was dug out of the soil, the little lady could continue to accompany it.

Gu Xizhou saw the scene where it was killed. The dog bit and refused to let go. It wanted to see its little lady.

At the moment when the dog died, Gu Xizhou heard the sound of the chain sliding again.

Gu Xizhou sighed a bit, but in a blink of an eye he had returned to Siyu’s luxurious villa.

The dog’s wish was simple—hoping its little owner could accompany it home.

After they had uncovered the body, the dog dragged it all the way back to the countryside. When someone recognised the girl, it’s body immediately disappeared and completed the wooden door. The voice that spoke… was the daughter of the Tian family. She had always wanted to know if her father really didn’t like her anymore.

If he could, Gu Xizhou really wanted to tell her, that her father had not changed his phone number all these years, always waiting for her phone call. 

When Gu Xizhou looked back at Fang Zhi, the kid had red eyes and opened his mouth, but there was no sound.
