In the evening, Wang Yao was still at home. The dog on the mountain went down straight to the village at an extremely fast speed. It was like a tiger going down.
“God, such a big dog,” a villager said.
“Whose dog is that?” another villager asked.
Many people in the village had never seen such a big dog. Plus, this particularly dog stayed on the mountain and rarely went down.
Woof! Woof! It roared a few times like a lion or a tiger.
“God, I don’t suppose it will bite someone, will it?” The villager who wanted to get a closer look soon rushed to the side in fear of being bitten.
“San Xian?” Wang Yao, who had returned at home, rushed out of the house and saw San Xian running over. “What happened?”
Woof! Woof! The dog barked a few times.
“Something’s happened? Show me the way!” Wang Yao followed behind the dog and left the mountain village. “Hurry up.”
The speed of the dog suddenly increased. Wang Yao followed quickly. Like an arrow from a bow, he moved 32 feet in less than a second.
The dog did not go to Nanshan Hill. Instead, it took Wang Yao to the place where Xishan and Nanshan were adjacent to each other.
No! As soon as Wang Yao entered the rock battle array, he was stunned. He saw an old man kneeling on the ground. He hurriedly squatted down to check him. He was breathless.
No! What he was most worried about was happening. He hurriedly carried the old man on his back and went down the mountain.
“Oh, Xiao Yao?” Seeing him carrying the old man down the mountain, villagers hurried forward.
“Uncle died,” he said.
“That is Jian Guo!” a villager exclaimed.
Another person had died in the village. It was undoubtedly big news.
The old man who died was 70. He wanted to go up the mountain to get some wild vegetables for his children living in the county. Many city people now liked to eat lettuce and shepherd’s pie. Suddenly, he fell on the mountain.
“Dad!” Upon hearing the news, his children rushed over. “Why did it happen?”
“He was fine when I came back last week, ” one of his children said.
They naturally asked Wang Yao. He just said that their father had fallen on the mountain and was discovered by the dog.
He was worried that the death of the old man was related to him. He must have entered the stone battle array when he was digging wild vegetables in the mountains. He died from being frightened and anxious, as well as other reasons.
“Is it because of the disease on the mountain?” The villagers who did not know the truth thought of the disease that broke out some time ago.
“It’s possible,” a villager said.
“Hey, who dares to go to Xishan now?” another villager asked.
“Xiao Yao, what did he die from?” Wang Fenghua asked.
He heard that the dog had gone down the mountain, and his son hurriedly went up the mountain and carried the old man down.
“It was not the disease,” Wang Yao said. “By all the signs on his body, I guess it was caused by a heart attack.”
“Yes, my dad did have heart disease, but this time he was quite good,” one of the man’s children said.
“He might have seen something terrible on the mountain,” Wang Yao said.
The rock stone battle array he arranged was a terrible thing for most people. Once entering, they would feel very anxious and have a hard time getting out of it.
“A terrible thing? Like a snake?” one of the man’s children asked.
“I am not sure,” Wang Yao said.
He felt he was being very hypocritical. Although he knew the real reason, he couldn’t say it. If he did so, Nanshan and himself would become the target of public criticism.
“In my view, Xishan should be sealed up. Don’t allow anyone to go up,” a villager said.
“Yes! Anyway, the farmland on it is just little,” another villager said.
In the evening, Wang Yao returned to the mountain. He couldn’t sleep. He went to the place where the old man fell. The dog was next to him.
“San Xian, it was my fault,” Wang Yao whispered.
Woof! Woof!
Wang Yao turned a few laps in the rock stone battle array. Afterward, he came outside of it and stood for a while.
There were already two rows of trees outside the rock stone battle array blocking the mountain road. Wang Yao had specially sealed it for fear that someone would mistakenly come up the mountain and enter the battle array. But, someone still came.
He went back and forth several times and thought about it carefully. He decided he should ruin it. He did not need to break all the points. Just destroying a few points would make the stone array lose its original effect.
I can cultivate trees as a fence to encircle it as an isolated place!
In the family of the old man who just died, several children got together.
“Hey, we can’t let dad pass away so unclearly,” one son said.
“Yes. When I came last week, he was still very good. Now, after a trip to the mountain, his life is gone,” a second son said. “It was discovered by Wang Yao. How can it be so coincidental?”
“Do you think is it possible that dad’s death is because of the dog?” the first son asked. “I heard from people that the dog is scary. It is bigger than a calf, even like a lion, and father’s heart had some problem itself.”
“Maybe,” the other son said.
“Wang Fenghua should take the responsibility,” the first son said.
“But, we have no evidence,” the second son said.
“Evidence? I will go up the mountain tomorrow,” the first son said.
“You should pay attention. I hear that Wang Yao has a unique background,” the second son said.
“Background? So what?” the first son asked.
The next morning, Wang Yao got up early.
“San Xian, from today ion you will patrol the mountains. Once anyone is close, bark at him from a distance to expel him,” Wang Yao said.
Woof! Woof! The dog barked to respond.
“Where is Xiao Hei?” The dog went out. After a while, a black snake crawled over.
“Xiao Hei, go on patrol on the mountain frequently,” Wang Yao said.
The black snake spit its tongue, which seemed to be thicker again.
After making the arrangement, he went to the place where the accident happened before heading down the mountain.
On the other side of the mountain, one of the dead man’s sons came out from his home.
“Hey, fourth brother, don’t go! The villagers said that the terrible infectious disease broke out from Xishan some time ago. Recently, there have been very few people who dare to go up the mountain,” the eldest son said.
“I don’t fear that.” The fourth brother went straight out of the house and up to Xishan.
His older brother couldn’t help but shake his head. “He is still so stubborn. I hope nothing happens to him!”
The fourth brother went up the mountain alone. He thought, Where did Dad pass away yesterday?
He didn’t know where his father died. In fact, none of the siblings knew where their father had died. They only knew a general location.
On Xishan, he went south along the mountain road. It didn’t take long before he reached the pile of rocks.
Is it here? he wondered.
He slowed down and searched around, hoping to find out what had been going on. He found a small bag of tobacco and looked at it carefully. It was the one his father used.
It was here.
Woof! Woof!
Suddenly, he heard the sound of barking, which scared him. He hurriedly got up and looked at the direction the sound was coming from. He saw a big dog. In fact, he had never seen a dog so big. He had seen Tibetan mastiffs, but this dog’s head was bigger than a Tibetan mastiff’s. It was like a lion’s.
He turned back without hesitation, but he did not dare to run. He took a few steps and looked back. The dog stood quietly not chasing him.
“God, it didn’t catch up.” He sighed with relief and discovered he was sweating a lot because of the scare.
He hurried down the mountain.
“How was it?” After returning home, his sisters and brothers gathered.
“Brother, is it OK?” Seeing his complexion was not good, the eldest sister was worried.
“It’s nothing. I met the big dog,” the fourth brother said swallowing his saliva.
“Were you bitten?” his sister asked.
“No, but I was scared. The dog too scary.” If the dog had rushed over and injured him, it would have been impossible for the man to come back down the mountain. “Dad must have been scared by the dog!”
“Are you sure?” his sister asked.
“You didn’t see the dog. I was shocked so much it made my heart beat fast. I was scared out of my wits, so I can only imagine how Dad felt,” he said.
“Although you say this, we have no evidence at all,” the sister said.
“Evidence? I heard it yesterday that it was the dog who went down to ask Wang Yao up to the mountain. It must have been the dog that found our dad had a problem and went down the mountain to get Wang Yao,” the fourth brother said.
“It is so inconceivable,” the sister said.
