The dogs were barking non-stop, causing Shen Jiaming to be annoyed. He was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The uncle beside him slept soundly, and the barking did not wake him at all.
The barking grew louder, as if it were getting closer and closer, as if it had already crawled under the window of the house. Shen Jiaming could not help but get up, put on his clothes and walk down the brick bed, wanting to see what was going on.
When he came out of the house, he saw Sheng Jiuzhou, dressed in his cape, sitting on the threshold of the house facing the door.
At some point in time, the door to the house that was originally tightly shut had been opened. The moment Shen Jiaming stepped out, he could feel a burst of cold air that caused even the crevices in his bones to feel cold. He walked over to Sheng Jiuzhou and stood beside her asking her: "Ah Jiu, what are you doing sitting here in the middle of the night? "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Sheng Jiuzhou slowly turned his head, his face expressionless, his eyes unmoving, like a puppet without a soul, startling Shen Jiaming.
After calming himself down, he looked at Sheng Jiuzhou again. He felt that his eyes were blurry, and that Sheng Jiuzhou was still his original appearance, there was nothing unusual about her at all.
When the two of them looked at each other, the barking outside continuously became louder and louder. Shen Jiaming was so annoyed that he wanted to cover his ears.
He complained in a low voice, "Is this dog crazy? Why is it so noisy in the middle of the night?" Ah Jiu, are you also unable to sleep because of the dogs? "
While he was speaking, he had already picked up a fire poker from the stove. After he finished speaking, he passed Sheng Jiuzhou and walked out of the doorstep to look for the dog.
As soon as he went out, the barking stopped. It was the kind of abrupt stop, especially abrupt, without any forewarning at all.
Shen Jiaming looked around the courtyard, especially searching through the windows for a long time, but he did not find even a shadow of a dog. He could not help but mutter: "This bastard actually ran really fast, or else I would have definitely whipped him a few times."
"It just doesn't understand."
A voice suddenly came from behind Shen Jiaming. Shen Jiaming was not prepared at all, he was extremely frightened, and instinctively took two steps back, and after turning his head to look at Sheng Jiuzhou, he gasped for breath while patting his chest: "Hey, how did you suddenly come over here, I can't even make a sound walking. Luckily, your brother I was bold, and the timid one was scared to death by you."
Sheng Jiuzhou was originally sitting on the doorstep, but now that he was suddenly behind him, he actually did not hear anything, it would be weird if he was not given a fright.
He remembered what Sheng Jiuzhou had said, and asked, "Ah Jiu, what did you say just now? What do you not understand? "
Sheng Jiuzhou did not look at Shen Jiaming. Instead, he turned his head towards the outside of the wall and slowly said: "It just doesn't understand why it would become the host's plate when it was obviously obedient."
Her voice was very soft, causing Shen Jiaming to not be able to hear her clearly. He could only hear the words "lunch", and he was unable to understand what Sheng Jiuzhou wanted to say.
He turned around and took a few steps, discovering that Sheng Jiuzhou was still standing foolishly in the courtyard. Then, he retreated and pulled her arm, urging her, "It's already the middle of the night, little miss, quickly go back and sleep, we still have to hurry tomorrow."
He stuffed Sheng Jiuzhou back into his room, closed the door, and then went back to sleep.
The villagers' uncle seemed to have been woken up by him. He rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze, "Young lad, it's the middle of the night, why aren't you sleeping?"
Shen Jiaming said: "I heard a dog barking just now, so I went out to look around."
"Dog barking?" The village man sat up and listened, but didn't hear anything. He fell down again, muttering, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. How dare you speak nonsense. What dog's barking?"
