It was already half past six when we arrived at the real Fu County. At first glance, I found that this Fu County was even poorer than Yun County. We wandered around the only old street for a long time before we looked for the sound of dogs barking and found a place in a different place.

In an eye-catching corner, I found a small farmhouse hotel that provided food and accommodation. Dinner was certainly not as delicious as the delicious mutton dinner at noon. However, I was so hungry that everyone still ate the food like a storm.

After dinner, I was curious that the half of Feng Shui Zhou's hand was said to be a broken totem he dug up in the mountains behind Fu County when he was young. I wanted to borrow it from him to play with. Unexpectedly, Feng Shui Zhou frowned, snorted, stood up and walked straight away.

After returning to the room, Ren Gaomaocai couldn't stop him despite repeated greetings. The senior deputy had to call Lin Hui to pay the bill. Uncle Dachuan was much more easy-going. When he saw me and several young people being hung up, he took out his optical zoom lens.

Using a camera lens and a mobile phone that looked like a camera, I pulled out a few digitally restored photos of the totems and explained them to a few of us young people in a half-hearted manner.

It turns out that this kind of totem is called Panhu, which is the incarnation of an ancient divine dog. Its image is similar to Anubis, the dog-headed god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology, except that the proportions of the head and body are different, and the image is different, exactly: a bloody mouth.

, with a big head and a small body, a little less solemn and more ferocious. After Uncle Dachuan sent the photo to our mobile phones, he also got up and prepared to go back to the room. Axia looked at the photo and screamed. It turned out that she suddenly remembered her childhood.

She once heard her aunt tell the story of Panhu, and when she heard the words, she naturally coaxed her to tell her story.

Axia nodded, and several young people gathered around the dining table curiously. Uncle Dachuan seemed to be very interested, stopped, turned around and sat down next to his ear.

Panhu is a character in ancient Chinese mythology. It is said that during the time of Emperor Gaoxin in ancient times, the hostile Quanrong tribe was very powerful and often invaded the border of the Gaoxin clan. Although Emperor Gaoxin repeatedly organized troops to attack, he could never win.

He had no choice but to put a heavy reward on the head of the leader of the Quanrong. It was said that if a capable person captured the head of the leader of the Quanrong, he would be rewarded with a thousand catties of gold, enfeoffed 10,000 households, and married his little daughter. As a result, half a year passed.

However, no one stepped forward to defeat the enemy and receive a reward. Seeing that the Quanrong tribe was getting stronger and stronger, Emperor Gao Xin panicked and quickly asked the tribe's wizard to pray to heaven all night to find a hero who could conquer the enemy.

A few days later, the guards brought an old woman who had fled. The old woman asked the emperor for water and food. The emperor took pity on her and gave her food to let her stay in the tribe. Unexpectedly, the old woman had a headache after eating and drinking. The emperor called for a witch.

The doctor treated her and used a medicine hook to pick out a hard-shelled insect the size of a silkworm cocoon from the old woman's ear, but the old woman patted her butt and walked away as if nothing happened. The emperor asked the witch doctor to put the hard-shelled insect in a gourd with a lid.

Cover it and prepare to burn it to death at noon the next day. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the hard-shelled insect turned into a black dog with five-color stripes on its body. When the witch doctors saw it, they all knelt down and worshiped it. When they saw it, it was coiled in a gourd and ladle.

When it was born, it was called "Panhu" and said it was a gift from God. The emperor had no choice but to order the witch doctors to raise it well.

Soon, the witch doctor reported to the emperor that Panhu was missing. The emperor was about to cure the sins of his servants, but Panhu ran back with a bloody human head in his mouth. The emperor took a closer look and saw that it was the leader of the Dog Rong.

The emperor remembered his promise and said to the ministers in embarrassment: There is no problem with the bounty and enfeoffment, but how can I let my daughter marry a dog? The ministers quickly agreed, saying that Panhu was a beast.

How could he bear the marriage of the princess, so it was better to drive Panhu away. So the emperor ordered the hard shell of Panhu to be burned, and ordered his followers to raise their swords and guns to drive Panhu away. Panhu was outnumbered and had to flee to

At the edge of the cliff, he turned around and stared at Emperor Gao Xin with his blood-red eyes, which made the emperor glare. Then he roared ferociously and jumped off the cliff.

As a result, the river flowing from the cliff that had been nourishing the Gaoxin tribe dried up, and then famine began, and the people who died of starvation triggered the plague. One-third of the Gaoxin tribe died in one fell swoop.

When the emperor's youngest daughter heard about this, she went to reprimand her father: Your Majesty has promised me to the hero who killed Quanrong. Now Panhu has come with his head in his mouth and has eliminated the harm to the country. This is God's gift to him.

Is this success and achievement just the wisdom and strength of a dog? A king values ​​promises, and a hegemon pays attention to credibility. You cannot violate my promise in front of the world because of my slight stature.

A public oath, this is a disaster for the country. When the emperor heard this, he thought of the misfortunes in the past few days, and was afraid of God's blame, so he had to obey his daughter's request and let her leave the tribe to find Panhu.

The princess found Panhu, and the Gaoxin family stopped the disaster. Panhu didn't blame her, and took the princess up Nanshan Mountain to a cave. Then the princess took off her luxurious palace clothes and combed into a servant's clothes.

She put on clothes that were convenient for working, and settled down in the cave with Panhu. However, as time went by, she remembered that the female companions she grew up with all had their favorite partners, but she had to face them all day long.

It is still inevitable for a dog to lament and sigh. After Panhu noticed it, he ran out every day and brought back some colorful stones to cheer her up.

Finally one day, Panhu did not take back the five-color stone. Instead, he spoke to the princess in a human voice and said: I am the dog god in the sky. I came down to earth to relieve the suffering of your tribe. However, I was unable to go back because of the emperor's treachery. Now I am in the cave day and night.

To cultivate, you can finally cultivate your human body. All you need to do is put me in the pit I dug out at the entrance of the cave tonight when the moon is full, cover me with five-color stones, and then find a big gourd and gourd to cover me, and wait until dawn.

If you scream, I can become a human being.

When the princess heard that she was overjoyed, she quickly prepared as Panhu said. When the moon rose in the evening, she promptly covered Panhu who was sleeping in the five-color stone pit with a gourd and ladle. So the princess waited for Panhu with anxiety.

Hu woke up, and then fell asleep after being unable to sleep any longer.

On the other side, the emperor missed the princess very much after she left, so he came to visit her with his entourage and gifts. He walked for a day and a night until he reached the entrance of the cave at three o'clock. The emperor's servant happened to bring a big rooster, and the rooster was far away.

From a distance, I saw the brilliance of the five-colored gravel under the gourd at the entrance of the cave, which was like the glow of dawn. I instinctively raised my neck and let out a long cry. When the princess heard this, she woke up, thinking it was dawn, and ran away quickly.

Looking at Panhu, she happily opened the big gourd covering Panhu. When she saw it, she was dumbfounded: Panhu had turned into a human form from the neck down, and only the head was still a dog's. The princess quickly covered the big gourd, but the five-color stone brilliance appeared.

They scattered and turned into ordinary gravel. Panhu woke up and found that his success had been short-lived. He was furious and roared, scaring away his father-in-law, the emperor, and his party. Fortunately, the princess persisted and gave birth to six pairs of children with Panhu.

However, the daughters are normal, but the men, without exception, have dog heads.

After telling the story, Axia looked at the photo of the totem again, and felt more and more that the image resembled the roaring Panhu. Uncle Dachuan remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something. But the guy next to him, Ear, had been there just now.

There he was muttering about how stupid the emperor was, and how the father-in-law, who cheated his son-in-law, should wipe it all away. Suddenly, he asked me: What are you licking me for?

I was puzzled, and just about to answer, when I turned my head, my face was licked by something, and it was suddenly filled with fishy saliva. I was startled, and quickly jumped away, only to see a rickety man more than two meters tall who didn't know when to stand.

When he got behind me and Er Er, we saw that the weird man had all hands and feet and extremely strong bones. However, from the collar of the worn leather coat, a black dog head protruded impressively!

"Oh my God!"

As soon as the ear saw it, he yelled and pushed Axia and I aside. At the same time, Uncle Dachuan also moved Feng Jinhua and Zhang Yan behind him. In this way, we were divided into two groups by the sudden arrival of the kobolds, and went to the round table respectively.

The two sides receded. However, behind Axia and I was the disinfection cabinet, and in front of us, we were blocked by the scammer Ear who was panicking, and we were inexplicably squeezed into a dead end by him.

The monster may have seen that its ears were weak and weak, so it forced it towards us. Or maybe it felt that we were already the prey of its mouth. After taking two steps closer, it stood still, and the long tongue in the dog's mouth stretched out from time to time.

, the yellow fangs seem to be stained with blood...

Seeing this, his ears trembled into a ball. If he couldn't stand firmly, he would slip. I quickly grabbed his armpits to steady him. Unexpectedly, the guy's feet still weakened. He fell to the ground in fright, and then hugged him.

My legs seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, and I couldn't move. I was so anxious that I yelled at him: Damn, you bitch, this is not the first time I've seen this thing! I yelled at my ears, but it was

After letting go, I wanted to hug Axia's thigh but felt it was inappropriate, so I had to help her roll behind us in a hurry.

Maybe the monster thought that the three people on the other side had retreated to the door of the wing, so he simply ignored it and took another step towards us. Seeing that I was only three or four meters away, I could almost smell the smell coming from the dog's mouth.

The smell of blood. I couldn't help sweating from the top of my head. Axia was in a similar condition. Things were over, so I had to ask Er Er to see if there was anything in the disinfection cabinet that could be used as a weapon. As a result, Er Er was busy working for a long time and only handed it to me.

Two stacks of dishes filled with pickles.

Me! I was sweating profusely, and suddenly I remembered that there was a porcelain bottle of shochu in my bag that Brother Hamachuan gave me at noon, so I had to take it out and hold it in my hand. When I saw this, I whispered to me: Do you think this monster tastes good? I

I felt dizzy and replied angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, I'll throw a bottle at its head and we'll fight together!"

I touched my body again, and it seemed that I didn't touch anything except my mobile phone. Axia pulled out the square stool used as an extra seat in the corner and put it against my chest, so Axia and I exchanged glances.

He held the square stool steady with his left hand, and aimed at the monster with his right hand, preparing to throw out the soju.

"Wait a minute." At the critical moment, I suddenly heard Uncle Okawa's voice, "I remember there were seven of us just now. By the way, where is the tall guy?" Uncle Okawa's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it made me feel like

Suddenly I felt calmer.

Hearing this, Axia and I quickly scanned the people in the room, and yes! Liang Hu was the only one missing. Looking at Zhang Yan, she didn't seem as nervous as before.

Looking closely at the monster, the terrifying dog head has attracted attention. Apart from the worn leather jacket, the "Kobe Bryant 10th Generation" Nike basketball shoes under the dark jeans are not standard equipment for Liang Hu's worldly treasure.

Which one again?

Hahahaha! I saw the monster unbuttoning its leather jacket, and Liang Hu’s curled-up head was immediately revealed, and what was tied to his back was the big black dog guarding the courtyard at the door. It turned out that Liang Hu was halfway through listening to Axia’s story

, went out to solve the internal emergency, and everyone was so absorbed in what they heard that they didn’t even notice. When Liang Hu came back after relieving himself, he saw the big black dog in the nursing home and the old leather coat at the bottom of the kennel, and he suddenly came up with a plan and decided to make a joke with everyone. Speaking of which,

There are indeed people in the countryside who like to feed nursing home dogs raw meat to keep them bloody. My hometown does the same thing. And the smell of blood in the black dog's mouth is actually mixed with the smell of pork and beef, which would not be the same under normal circumstances.

I got over it, but I was listening attentively to Axia's stories about monsters and monsters in the middle of the night, which heightened the atmosphere. Being told such a sudden trick by him really short-circuited my brain.

wipe.

Seeing that it was a false alarm, everyone calmed down, sat back at the round table, pretended to be nonchalant, touched the leftover tea from someone on the table, and drank it all in one gulp. Feng Jinhua also pretended to be

With a steady look, he folded his hands in front of his chest to calm down, and then freed up one hand to give a thumbs up to Liang Hu, who took off the rope and let the black dog run away, and praised: Brother Hu, your acting skills are so good, even I was fooled.

I was scared, yes, yes! He spoke very tactfully, but his legs were still shaking. The two took the opportunity to brag and compliment each other, which made Uncle Dachuan, who had always been steady, a bit dumbfounded. He left with a forced smile and went back to the room.

Yan Ye frowned and complained that Liang Hu was having too much fun and took him back to his room to sleep. The rest of the people also dispersed. Axia shared a room with Lin Hui, who left first, and left alone. I followed Er Er's trick.

In the goods room, although the monster just now was fake, I still felt chills running down my back when I thought about the pits in my ears.

After washing, my ears had already fallen asleep, and I quickly took the time to lie down and prepare to rest. However, after all this tossing, my body was still in a state of excitement and I couldn't sleep at all. The black dog's saliva on my face felt like obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I didn't wash it thoroughly. Several times, as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt like there was something behind my head trying to grab my head. When I opened my eyes, I was frightened by the reflection in the curtains and the dog crying outside. I am a nervous person.

, I would feel urgent to urinate, so I turned over several times and did not fall asleep. Instead, I held a large amount of urine. I had to get up and kicked the ears of the man next to me who was sleeping like a dead pig. I saw him turn over.

But I fell asleep again. I had to brave myself and go out to pee myself.

The quality of a farmhouse in a poor area cannot be compared with that of a regular hotel. Not to mention you have to provide hot water yourself. The bathrooms are shared on all floors. I opened the door and went to the public bathroom at the end of the corridor opposite the door. I finally made it to the end.

, pulled the door handle, but it was locked! Hey, I thought to myself, my luck is not that bad. I was about to go downstairs to call the store, but I heard a sound of water flushing in the bathroom. After a while, the door opened. It turned out that

It was Axia. When she saw me, she seemed to have guessed that I probably couldn't sleep, so we smiled awkwardly at each other. When she saw that my face looked ugly, she blushed and quickly exchanged places with me and let me go.

Enter the bathroom.

After I finished removing my hands and came out, Axia was still outside the door. I asked her to go back to sleep. She agreed, but apologized to me and said that she shouldn't have told that weird story before. I quickly comforted her and said it was okay.

It's not the kid Liang Hu who is playing tricks on her that makes us nervous. Moreover, in the real world, there is no such outrageous thing as a dog turning into a human or a human turning into a dog. Axia nodded, as if she wanted to say something,

I waited for her for a long time, but she didn't say anything. When I asked her, she abnormally said that she had forgotten what she wanted to say. I had no choice but to say that I thought Uncle Dachuan was quite reliable, and there should be nothing wrong with this trip.

Axia also agreed. After chatting about some light topics, I suggested going back to sleep, so we each went back to our respective rooms. After lying down this time, it went relatively smoothly, and we fell asleep in a short time.

In a daze, I seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, I turned into the emperor of the Gaoxin clan, and Axia became my daughter. The leader of the Quanrong army actually had the face of Liang Hu.

It was so lifelike... Although I missed Axia in the end, I still remembered not to let my entourage bring the big rooster to see Axia. Finally, in the end, Panhu succeeded in becoming a complete human being, actually an ear! However, the ears were not there for some reason.

After putting on the dog-headed mask that Feng Jinhua handed him that popped out of nowhere, he transformed into a panhu with a dog's head and a human body. He chased me all over the ground with a bloody mouth the size of a millstone and white teeth...

I slept until dawn, and it was Ear who woke me up. It shocked me. When Ear saw this, he said in confusion: I'm afraid of a ball, I'm not Panhu!
Chapter completed!
