Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 181: The Dog Without a Leash (Additional Update 1025)

After the house-guarding medicine was promoted to the Yin Shuai level, Chen Xin could be considered to have completed one stage of his goal.

But there are two follow-up questions.

One is naturally the blood disaster-level water ghost in the Water Ghost River.

Another one is also related to the Water Ghost River, which is the crack leading to the outside world.

Chen Xin built the underworld. Not only did he want to have a secret base, he also hoped to make the members of the underworld feel a sense of belonging.

But if the problem of Shuigui River cannot be solved, it will be useless even if Sanshan Village is built as solidly as possible.

The members of the underworld are not talismans and cannot be thrown into the underworld. After entering through the cracks, they will still be killed by the water ghosts in the Water Ghost River.

But now Chen Xin has no good way to deal with these two problems.

Either Chen Xin needs to upgrade the Staff of Sorrow or Brother Chicken to the next level, or the banyan tree needs to grow a little bigger.

As the banyan tree grows bigger, the range of its roots also becomes larger.

In this way, when the big banyan tree extends its roots into the Water Ghost River, even if it fails to kill the blood disaster-level water ghost, the other party will not dare to approach the crack again.

But Chen Xin didn't understand how the banyan tree grew bigger.

So at present, Chen Xin’s main focus is on improving the level of the town objects.

The next place to upgrade the town object is the Church of the Holy Infant.

With multiple Yin Shuai-level talismans in his hands, Chen Xin has many more means to deal with the Holy Infant Church, so he can naturally give it a try.

If it really doesn't work, borrow the guard town of Sanshan Village first and use it at the Church of the Holy Infant.

After making arrangements for what happened next, Chen Xin regained consciousness.

As for those talismans, they will be placed in Sanshan Village for nurturing.

Time flies and the next day comes.

Just as he was about to use Saturday to think about how to use the existing talismans to deal with the Church of the Holy Infant, his eyes swept over the dressing box.

He remembered that there was one thing he hadn't done.

Help Jiuri look after his parents!
After thinking about it, Chen Xin felt that it would be better to fulfill the agreement first.

Opening the dressing box, Chen Xin took out the hard drive.

"Nine Days: It's finally out. Can I be a dog now?"

"Yan Luo: Let's put aside the matter of being a dog for now. Do you still remember your place in the house?"

Chen Xin waited for a long time before replying on the 9th.

"Jiu Ri: It's a bit vague. I don't remember the specific building number, but I remember the name of the community. It's called Qiuye Community."

"Yan Luo: Which city?"

"Nineth day: Pink Cherry City."

After Jiuri finished speaking, Chen Xin's computer automatically opened the browser, automatically entered "Qiuye Community, Fenying City", and located a location.

"Nine Days: This should be it."

Chen Xin controlled the mouse to look at the situation around Qiuye Community, and then checked the route.

"Yan Luo: It will take more than three hours to get there... Let's go now, I hope everything goes smoothly."

"Nine Days: Thank you."

"Yan Luo: You're welcome. We agreed on this."

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he packed up his schoolbag, put the hard drive into his dressing box, and then put the dressing box into his backpack.

Finally, Chen Xin stuffed another booklet into his coat pocket.

Everything was ready, and Chen Xin left the dormitory.

……

Although Fenying City borders Lingyuan City, Jipin City, and Mubei City, the border area between Mubei City and Fenying City is much smaller than that between Lingyuan City.

It only takes more than an hour to drive from Lingyuan City to Fenying City.

It may be faster to take the high-speed rail from Mubei City to Fenying City.

Chen Xin took a taxi directly to the high-speed rail station, then took the high-speed rail to Fenying City, and then reached his destination from the Fenying City high-speed rail station.

In this way, Chen Xin shortened the original three-hour drive to two hours, which also included the more than ten minutes of waiting for the bus.

After Chen Xin arrived at the entrance of Qiuye Community, he took the hard drive out of the box in his backpack.

Then he typed a sentence into the text message box on his mobile phone.

"Is this the place?"

That sentence was quickly deleted and another one appeared.

"It's here! I know this door. It's definitely here!"

"Okay, when you see a familiar place, you can vibrate it."

After Chen Xin finished typing, he held the phone in his hand, pointed the camera forward, and walked into the community.

Qiuye Community is an old community, and it is even easier to enter than the community where Chen Xin first lived in Huang Minghao’s home.

The old man guarding the gate ignored him and was chatting with other old men and women.

Chen Xin listened to a few words, which were nothing more than whose child kicked the door again today, whose family had a quarrel at night, and whose dog was not leashed when walking and almost bit someone.

Chen Xin even thought that if Jiuri didn't remember where he used to live, he might be able to ask the old man at the door something.

As they stopped and walked along the way, Chen Xin's phone vibrated many times.

Every time Chen Xin picked it up and took a look, there was no useful information.

"I remember this place. When I was staying at home, my mother asked me to come to this small square to exercise. But at that time, there were not so many equipments, and they were not so new. It seems that the community property management has done something."

"Hey, they even built a pond here. How come the property management staff are so elegant? I remember that the property management staff in our community doesn't have such elegance, right?"

"I was wondering how the property could possibly get better. They just spent the owners' money on useless things. They didn't even know to paint the walls of the community buildings? It's a new community, but from the outside it looks like a community from more than a decade ago."

“And this…”

Chen Xin originally wanted to ask Jiuri to stop shaking, but when he thought about how the other party was dead and he had finally come back, he just let him do it.

Just like that, Chen Xin took Jiuri and walked around the community.

Jiuri recognized a lot of places, but he couldn't remember where he lived or what his parents' names were.

In desperation, Chen Xin told Jiuri his idea.

"This is not a solution. I'm going to go to the door and ask the old men and women in the security room. They should know more."

"That's right... Then let's ask them if they remember me. Maybe they still remember Qi Xu. After all, he was a otaku who died suddenly in his room. He should be the only one like him in this community. We can use this as a topic of conversation among them." Chen Xin nodded. He thought so too.

Turning around, he took Qi Xu and walked towards the gate.

But when Chen Xin returned to the fitness square again, the phone in his hand began to vibrate wildly.

Chen Xin picked up the phone and was stunned.

"Those are my parents! Those are my parents!"

Chen Xin glanced around and saw twenty to thirty people in the fitness square, half of whom were old men and women chatting and basking in the sun, five or six children riding bicycles around, two young people walking their dogs, and two middle-aged men and women chatting.

Chen Xin took a closer look at the middle-aged couple in the square.

"Is it the middle-aged couple chatting on the chairs?"

"No, not them, yes, yes..."

Chen Xin frowned. How could he stutter while typing?

"What is it?"

"It's... the elderly couple who are using the fitness equipment to 'scrub their backs'."

Chen Xin was stunned.

He had noticed the elderly couple before. They looked to be in their sixties or seventies.

And according to Jiuri, he was just a otaku in his early twenties, and his parents were at most forty-five or forty-six, less than fifty years old. How could they be the couple in their sixties?

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

"No, I would recognize them even if they turned into ashes, but...how did they become so old?"

Chen Xin remained silent and typed a few words.

"Do you remember the year you died? What year was it?"

“…I don’t remember.”

"Well, it's a bit cruel, but if you're not mistaken, then it's very likely... you've been dead for more than ten or twenty years."

Jiuri didn't speak for a long time, and just when Chen Xin wanted to ask what to do next.

Something unexpected suddenly happened in the fitness square.

……

"Dabai, Dabai!"

The woman among the young couple walking the dog chased after the white dog, which was as tall as an adult's knee. While running, she was smiling and recording a video with her mobile phone.

But as she was recording, she saw Dabai running to the elderly couple who were exercising and stopped.

Before she could go over and tie up Dabai, she saw Dabai being driven away by the old man with his foot.

The woman put down her phone, glared at the old man fiercely, and then shouted loudly: "Dabai, come back."

But the woman obviously didn't understand her dog. As soon as she shouted, her big white dog bit the old man's foot!

"what!"

A shrill cry was heard and the old man was dragged down by the big white dog.

The woman was startled and quickly ran over to pull her dog away and tied it up with a leash.

"How do you walk your dog? Why don't you hold the leash?"

The old man's wife came over and saw the wound on his calf, and immediately scolded him.

But the woman who heard this not only did not apologize, but said with some pride in her eyes: "Who told him to kick my Dabai!"

"You didn't tie up your dog, and you blame others for driving your dog away! You, you are so shameless!"

The old woman was so angry that she was about to die, and the people around her were also talking about it.

When the young woman saw the way everyone was looking at her, she immediately got furious.

"You are shameless. You don't stay at home at your age, but come out to cause trouble to others! Don't you just want money? I'll give it to you!"

As she spoke, the young woman took out a few Daxia coins from her wallet and threw them on the ground.

"Is that enough for you to get vaccinated? Haha, don't skip vaccinations just to save money. If something happens, I won't be responsible."

The woman said this while recording this moment with her cell phone.

This behavior immediately caused people around to point fingers at him.

The old woman was so angry that her breathing became rapid.

"What a fart!"

The young woman's husband walked over and immediately started cursing at the people around him.

While cursing, he also showed off the muscles in his arms.

Seeing that everyone was silent, he looked at the old man on the ground.

"Take the money and leave quickly. Do you know how expensive this dog is? If you break its teeth, you'll lose a year's pension!"

After the man finished speaking, the woman behind him smiled and hugged the man's arm.

"That's right, some people nowadays are worse than dogs... Dabai, let's go!"

The woman snorted and was about to leave, pulling her dog.

But when she pulled, she couldn't move it.

"Dabai?"

The woman was puzzled and turned around to see her dog, Dabai, lying on the ground, wagging its tail, and under it, there was a pool of urine.

"Dabai, what's wrong with you!"

The woman was surprised and immediately squatted down to look at her dog.

But then, she heard a 'woooooo' sound.

She was familiar with this sound. When her dog Dabai was eating, if she dared to touch the rice plate, Dabai would make this sound.

But this time, the voice was not made by Dabai.

And this voice is even deeper and more terrifying!
The woman looked up and made eye contact with a large black dog that walked out of the garden nearby.

PS: The blessings have been received, thank you everyone!
