When Mr. and Mrs. Gu arrived at Shengjiawu, Wang Ping had already arrived home and was groping in the dark in the living room refrigerator to see if there was any leftover fried meat jerky.
Hearing the sound of a car engine stopping outside the gate, he didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was Gu Lao San who had returned from the Magic City. But after a while, there was still no movement at the gate, and he felt something was wrong.
If it was really Gu Laosan who came back, he would have been outside the door shouting for Dahei to open the door. Even if grandma had gone to bed early, Dahei would have been able to hear her if she had shouted softly. She wouldn't have to climb over the wall to go back to her own home, right
However, just as I thought of this, the badger's fur ears moved slightly, and I really heard the sound of someone climbing the wall outside, as well as the sound of someone talking in a deliberately low voice. It sounded sneaky and there was something fishy going on.
For some reason, no one in the yard heard Dahei's movement. Given the dog's hearing and vigilance, it is possible that he did not hear it. Thinking of the legend circulating in the village about dog dealers stealing dogs in the middle of the night, Wang Ping's eyebrows wrinkled.
These people are really brave!
After closing the refrigerator door, Wang Ping ran to the yard to take a look, only to find that the dog thief outside seemed a little stupid. After such a long time, he couldn't even climb up the wall. From a distance, he could hear the sad panting sound.
"Oh, can you do it? How about I do it instead!"
Gu Ma's low voice came from outside the wall, and Wang Ping was stunned. Then he looked at Dahei, who was standing at the door of the doghouse, looking in. No wonder the dog didn't make any noise, it was the "house thief" who came.
"No, let me do it. You are wearing a skirt, what are you talking about?"
Gu's father's voice sounded one after another, followed by a humming sound while holding his breath, and then his well-maintained white hands were seen clinging to the wall tremblingly.
"Emm..."
Wang Ping raised his paw to support his chin and narrowed his eyes.
Forget about cutting meatballs, maybe it was a misunderstanding, but he couldn't stand the fact that his fried meat jerky was taken away. He just checked, there was nothing in the refrigerator, and the last bag his grandma brought him this morning was the last one.
Turning his head to glance at Dahei, who had a calm face, Wang Ping ran into the living room and went straight to the stairs.
Given Dahei's personality, no matter how he tries to befriend him, he will never help him scare Gu's father. But Wolf Xiaosi is different. He is a guy who shines brightly when he sees a little sunshine. He will definitely like such a fun thing.
In the yard, Dad Gu climbed up the wall breathlessly and whispered to Mom Gu, "Wait, I'll open the door for you." Then he jumped inside.
"thump!"
"Uh ah..."
The scream he made with his voice held back was extremely heartbreaking. Perhaps it was because the leather shoes he wore were too hard, or he was not familiar with the posture of wall jumping. The moment Dad Gu landed on the ground, he felt a sharp pain in the arch of his foot, and he lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.
"Honey, are you okay?"
Mother Gu's anxious shouts were heard from outside the wall. Father Gu quickly responded while holding his old waist and climbing up.
"fine…"
Just as I was about to walk towards the door, I heard a noise in the hallway and a low growl that was suppressed in my throat rang out.
He looked up and saw that Dahei, who was standing at the door of the doghouse, had crouched down again and seemed to have closed his eyes. On the other side of the steps, two pairs of green night vision eyes, one above and one below, were staring at him.
Before Dad Gu could figure out why there were two pairs, he saw Wolf Xiaosi pouncing at him with his teeth bared in the moonlight.
Outside the courtyard, when the gate was opened from the inside, Gu's mother was about to go in with her small bag, when she saw Gu's father, who had originally climbed in, rushing out again in a hurry and rushing straight to the car parked outside the gate.
"Why?"
Just as Mrs. Gu was about to remind him that the car was locked, and that he had locked it himself, a shadow rushed past her and scared her.
"Woof~"
Wolf Xiao Si excitedly pounced on Gu Dad, and just as he was about to howl at the top of his lungs, he was slapped by a badger. He was right at the gate, and it would be bad if he woke up grandma.
Seeing a wolf rushing over, Dad Gu, who pulled the car door twice but failed to open it, decisively bypassed the front of the car and ran straight towards the village entrance.
Now Wolf Xiaosi became even more excited. His face was full of joy under the moonlight, and he ran after him.
"Husband? Bowen! Gu Bowen!"
Mother Gu shouted several times from behind. Seeing Father Gu running away as if he was on hormones, she wanted to get in the car to chase him. But when she got to the car, she remembered that the car keys were not with her.
It is hard to tell whether Dad Gu was afraid of being bitten by the dog or of being scolded by grandma after being woken up, but as he ran away and probably could no longer be heard from the courtyard, the shouting and barking of dogs (wolves) sounded at the same time, as if by appointment.
"Mom, mom! Our dog is crazy! Please save Bowen..."
Mother Gu ran to the yard with a frightened look on her face. After a while, the lights came on.
After receiving a call for help from Gu's father, Gu Laosan took Wang An and Yang Jie to the parking lot again. When they got back to Shengjiawu, two hours had passed. If Gu's father really waited for him to come to rescue him, the cucumber dish would have been cold.
In the end, grandma was woken up by the noise and asked Dahei to bring the two guys back home. In front of Gu's father, who almost lost his shoes, she gave each of them twenty strokes of the ruler, and only then was the matter temporarily settled.
The old man is old and can't stay up late. Even though Gu Dad and the badger still hate each other, they pretend to reconcile for the sake of grandma. One of them comforts himself silently in his heart and doesn't argue with the beast. The other one is holding back his bad intentions and waiting for the next opportunity.
So when Gu Laosan arrived home, what he saw was a quiet courtyard, as if nothing had happened.
Not daring to disturb grandma again, Gu Laosan first took Wang An and Yang Jie quietly to the second floor and pushed the badger's door. After being rejected, they were convinced that the badger had indeed returned.
He quietly apologized to Yang Jie and asked her and Wang An to squeeze into the guest room on the third floor for the night. He then went to his parents' room to ask about the situation. Father Gu, who was so angry that he couldn't sleep, took the opportunity to give him a lecture. Then he returned to the second floor and hid in the study to check the estrus period and behavior of the honey badger.
The next morning, grandma made fried meat jerky again. Seeing a badger eating and occupying the whole bowl, I suddenly felt that my so-called anorexia was an illusion. The foodie is still the same foodie.
"Happy!"
After watching the Mercedes-Benz and the Wrangler leave the yard, grandma turned around and called out to a badger who had just touched the remote control while sitting on the sofa: "Come on, go for a walk with grandma!"
In fact, Wang Ping didn't want to go out at all. He was waiting for his grandmother to go out so that he could play games in Gu Laosan's study. But since his grandmother was rarely willing to take him out, the badger obediently put on his hat and climbed onto Dahei's neck.
The one who likes to run around the most in the family is probably the wolf Xiao Si. As soon as he gets out of the door, he runs away happily. A badger secretly despises this wolf in his heart, thinking that this wolf is completely useless. However, following the footsteps of grandma, he found that the direction of his walk seemed to be up the mountain.
"Don't you ever go up the mountain, grandma?"
Wang Ping was secretly curious. It felt strange that his grandmother, who never went up the mountain, suddenly wanted to take him up the mountain so early in the morning.
But before they reached the tea mountain, they only reached the woods at the foot of the mountain, and then grandma changed direction and walked towards the pond on the other side. From a distance, through the gaps in the woods, Wang Ping saw a tombstone located in the woods on the north side of the pond.
"This is... Grandpa?"
