On the morning of the same day, the Sangou family and the Mingyue family decided to send someone to find the three dogs together, and asked about the situation of the last time Laifu met the three dogs, and according to the direction of Defu Niang, they decided to go to Shidu first, and then follow the road of Shidu to Twenty-eight Capital, all the way to find it.

Hearing that she was going to find Sangou, Mingyue jumped up from the bed and wanted to follow, Mingyue's mother pulled her and said: You have been hungry for a day, no, you have to eat enough before you can leave.

Mingyue went into the kitchen and took out a big white bowl (white porcelain bowl) of white rice, and ate it to her mother.

Originally, it was decided that the three dogs, Mingyue, and Mingcheng would go to find the three dogs, but Mingyue must go, and the three dogs' mothers must also insist on following.

Everyone asked all the way to Shidu, and then went up the river, to Liushiyan, Feifengguan, Liushikeng, and all the way to Damenling, there was no news, and there were several teams of pickers on the road, but they all said that they didn't know that there were three dogs.

Continue along the mountain road to the twenty-eight capitals, climb up the gate ridge, to the road pavilion at the bottom of the gate, it is already noon, everyone on the water of the spring stream next to it, eat some dry food, take a short rest, and then climb the mountain.

The more the mother of the three dogs climbed, the more sad she became, looking at such a high and steep mountain road, it was hard to walk empty-handed, but her son Sangou, who was still underage, had to carry a heavy burden and cross the mountains and mountains; This is simply treating people as cattle and horses.

Mingyue didn't think about it so much, the back mountain in the village is not high, and she usually doesn't want to climb it, but now she has been thinking about Sangou in her heart, and she wants to find him as soon as possible, but she forgot the hardship of climbing the mountain.

Sangou Dad and Ming Cheng Dad are familiar with each other, when they were young before, they also picked up Pucheng, this road has been walked a lot, looking at the familiar scenes along the road, I can't help but sigh, but I don't have too much to think about these.

Everyone climbed all the way up to the top of the mountain, under the scorching sun, and asked the people in the village, and they said that this person had never heard of it, and there were so many porters coming and going on this road every day, who could know which one was the name.

There was a person next to him who said that on the way down the mountain in the direction of Twenty-eight Capital, two people died, and I heard that they were pickers; The others talked about it and said:

The night before yesterday there were bandits here, the movement was big, we didn't dare to open the door to come out to see, and then I heard that it was the bandits over there in the twenty-eight capitals, chasing and killing a group of Guangfeng's pickers, and it is estimated that the two dead people were killed by the bandits.

Irrelevant others, when these words come out of their mouths, they are understated, but they can be heard in the ears of the three dogs' mothers, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and their feet are weak and their faces are pale.

The three dog fathers handed out cigarettes next to people, regardless of men and women, and many women in the mountains also smoked, even if they didn't smoke, they took it and took it home for men to smoke.

Mingcheng's father was patient, and then asked the person who knew the news, and the man said:

It was in the grass halfway up the mountain, there were two dead people, they were found yesterday afternoon, and today the mountain people went to report to the official, and it is estimated that there are still police there, and you can see them all the way down the mountain road.

After everyone thanked them, they rushed down the mountain in a panic, and the heart of the three dogs' mothers was about to jump out of their throats, and they didn't know that because of too much force, Mingyue's hands were white.

The mouth kept silently reciting Amitabha, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless him, and the dead man below was not the three dogs, and the three dogs were still fine and safe.

Mingyue was also extremely nervous, and the hand that was grabbed by Sangou's mother was very tight, but she didn't feel pain, but the palms of her hands kept sweating, and the palms of her hands were all wet.

Everyone was in a hurry, and they didn't notice the time, and after a while, they were halfway up the mountain, and they saw several chiefs dressed in black in front of them, probably policemen, holding notebooks on the side of the road to remember something.

Everyone trotted over and found two dead bodies lying on the side of the road, but their heads were covered with rotten straw mats, and they couldn't tell who they were.

Mingcheng's father calmed down a little, and asked the chiefs in Jiangshan dialect and official dialect, saying that he was looking for someone who was a porter. When the policeman heard that Mingcheng's father could say a few words, he was much more polite and said:

We also just received a report today, now come and check, you can see for yourself, is it the person you are looking for, said, and motioned to Mingcheng's father to uncover the rotten straw mat himself.

The three dog fathers uncovered the two straw mats, setting off countless flies flying, that terrifying scene, almost scared everyone to the ground at once, the corpse, there was no human body, the whole body was cut by the knife and the flesh was blurred, where can you tell who is who?

In addition, it was not yet fully autumn, and the weather was still very hot, and the two corpses had begun to stink, and the flies flying on them swooped up again, and if you looked closely, there were some fine maggots crawling out.

When Mingyue saw it, she suddenly couldn't stand it, she supported her knees with both hands, turned over the river and the sea and vomited violently, vomiting everything in her stomach, and she couldn't stop being nauseous.

Sangou's mother had never seen this kind of scene, and she couldn't help but vomit, but when she saw Mingyue vomiting, she couldn't suppress the surging in her stomach anymore, and she vomited wildly on the side.

The three dog fathers endured the nausea, broke a branch of the tree, chased the flies, and Mingcheng's father and Mingcheng who covered his mouth, carefully identified the corpse together.

After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see the reason, the heads and faces of these two corpses were cut with knives, and they began to rot in the summer, and the only remaining facial features were also deformed, and I really couldn't see the appearance.

The mountain breeze came slowly, blowing the smell of corpses, which spread everywhere, making people sick, and the policemen couldn't help it, and slowly retreated not far away.

Sangou Mom and Mingyue, who were hiding in the distance, looked at Sangou Dad and they couldn't be sure for a long time, but they also plucked up their courage, held their noses, and stepped forward to identify.

Before she got closer, Mingyue suddenly trembled all over, screamed, and fell to the ground, so frightened that everyone quickly turned around to help her up, seeing that her eyes were closed and her breath was like a gossamer, Mingcheng's father pinched her middle (in the middle of the upper lip under the nose).

After a while, Mingyue woke up leisurely, and as soon as she woke up, she grabbed her father's hands and cried incessantly, everyone hurriedly asked her what was wrong, she was speechless, so she had to use her fingers to desperately point to the arm of one of the corpses.

Everyone followed her fingers to look over, and at this time, Mingcheng's feet were weak, and he sat on the ground, his face turned pale, and shouted:

"That's three dogs, it's three dogs." After shouting, he began to cry loudly.

The three dog fathers were so anxious that they glared at each other, grabbed Ming Cheng, and suddenly roared:

"Which is the Three Dogs? Why is it three dogs, say it quickly. ”
