Rules of the Strange: Starting with the Weird Peppa Pig

Seeing this, Li Fan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and wildly waved the spatula forward while shouting.

"Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

However, he swung the spatula for a long time but didn't hit anything, and he didn't feel any pain from being bitten by a dog.

He opened his eyes with some confusion and looked around.

Little Huang had somehow bypassed him and run to Wu Xin's legs, affectionately rubbing against Wu Xin's trouser leg.

Wu Xin stood there helplessly, not daring to move an inch.

She remembered Li Fan saying that the dog was very emotionally unstable, so she was afraid that if she moved even slightly, the vicious dog would bite her legs.

Li Fan reached out to grab the dog by the scruff of its neck and pull it away, but as soon as he did, Xiao Huang lunged at his hand.

Fortunately, Li Fan dodged in time, and Xiao Huang didn't bite him.

It didn't continue chasing and attacking Li Fan, but instead continued to rub against Wu Xin's trouser leg.

Wuyin, who had come downstairs, saw the scene before her and looked thoughtful.

He slowly walked down the stairs, and only squatted down in front of Xiao Huang, looking directly into Xiao Huang's eyes.

Li Fan was afraid that the dog would suddenly have another bout of illness, so he hurriedly went forward to try to pull his older brother up.

But he froze on the spot after taking only two steps.

This dog... it's such a good actor!

Chapter 241 Memories Without a Core

When Xiao Huang turned around and saw Wu Yin, his expression instantly turned pitiful, as if he had been bullied by Li Fan, and he kept making whimpering sounds.

Seeing the pitiful dog, Wu Xin remembered what Li Fan had just said about the dog's extremely unstable emotions and the possibility of it biting someone at any time.

She turned to look at Li Fan with a questioning gaze, as if to confirm, "Are you serious? This dog is emotionally unstable; it might bite?"

No wonder this dog looked so aggrieved.

Faced with his younger sister's judgmental gaze and that dramatic dog, Li Fan was completely at a loss.

So you're targeting me alone, huh? You bastard.

Don't let me run into you alone again, or I'll make sure I live up to my bad reputation and give you a good beating!

Wuyin reached out and gently pressed her hand on Xiaohuang's head, her gentle voice carrying a hint of guidance.

"Do you... know any clues about the dean?"

Upon hearing the word "Dean," Xiao Huang visibly trembled.

It rubbed its nose against Wuyin's wrist, then ran to Li Fan.

Li Fan immediately took off the pot lid from his head, preparing to defend himself against the attack, but Xiao Huang just lay in front of him and turned back to look at Wuyin.

Wu Xin looked at the startled Li Fan, her eyes filled with sudden realization.

So that's why Brother Li Fan said that—he was afraid of puppies…

Li Fan looked at Wu Xin's expression.

No... I... it... it wasn't like this just now!! Waaah...

This is truly a case of "no amount of clearing one's name can ever do."

Wuyin didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two people next to her, and just whispered to Xiaohuang.

"I see."

He stood up, dusted himself off, and looked at the two people beside him.

"Let's go into the room first."

Wu Xin and Li Fan nodded.

The three people and the dog walked into their small room. Wuyin closed the door and went to the cabinet first, the one where the dean's skin was kept.

Following the scent, Xiao Huang arrived at the cabinet, its eyes revealing a longing that was not typical of ordinary dogs, and a surge of excitement coursed through its body.

It knew that this was what it had been looking for.

Its canine nature makes it unable to resist howling at the sky when excited.

"Woof."

A strong hand instantly pinched its muzzle, interrupting its cries.

Little Huang seemed to know it had done something wrong, whimpering pitifully and scratching at the cabinet door with its two front paws.

Wu Xin looked at this scene and said with some doubt.

"Little Huang seems to really want the dean's skin. Could it be a dog that the dean used to keep?"

But we've never seen the dean keep a dog before. Could it be that he's keeping one secretly?

Wuyin chuckled softly, took the Dean's skin out of the cabinet and placed it on the ground, then turned to look at Wuxin and Li Fan.

"What if I said...it is the dean?"

Wu Xin and Li Fan were instantly shocked. How could the dean turn into a dog?

Li Fan quickly accepted this premise. Strange things happen all the time in the world of ghost stories, and it's not impossible for a person to turn into a dog.

Wu Xin found it hard to accept that an old man she once loved had turned into a dog; she was filled with mixed emotions.

The three of them fell silent after hearing this, all looking at Xiao Huang with complex emotions on their faces.

Little Huang kept nudging the dean's skin on the ground, as if trying to crawl inside, but it couldn't fit in no matter what it did.

Li Fan hesitated and looked at Wuyin.

"Then how can we make it back to its original state?"

Wuyin stroked his chin and thought for a very long time, so long that they could hardly bear the silence.

Then he whispered a sentence.

His voice was very soft, but just enough for everyone present to hear.

Wu Xin and Li Fan were stunned when they heard this, and their feelings became even more complicated.

Wu Xin couldn't help but ask.

"Are you...are you serious? So they really did...the dean..."

"Ah."

He remained silent, his expression complex.

All clues point to the same truth.

Even though the world of ghost stories is bizarre and strange, everything originates from reality.

The director couldn't have turned into a dog out of nowhere, and a stray dog ​​wouldn't suddenly appear in this orphanage.

So the only truth is that the dean was stuffed into a dog skin…

"Actually, I had already thought of this, but there are still some details I am not sure about."

I just patted Xiao Huang's head hard, actually to confirm my guess.

Sure enough, its skull wasn't that of a normal dog; it was a broken human skull.

Wuyin looked at Xiaohuang, who was still covered in human skin, and sighed softly.

Wu Xin felt dizzy after hearing this and almost couldn't stand up. Li Fan, who was next to her, quickly supported her.

Aside from her brother, the person she respected and cared about most was her grandfather, the dean.

She was the youngest in the orphanage, but she spent the most time with the director.

Because the other children usually came to this orphanage when they were a little older, but she was brought back while she was still an infant.

She knew that she used to have conflicts with others in the orphanage, and that the director would favor her.

In her mind, the dean was no different from her own grandfather.

She was lost in heavy memories.

……

"Xiaoxin, you've sneaked out to play again. You're so young, do you know there are many bad people outside?"

Grandpa Director stood at the entrance of the orphanage, his aged face contorted with anger, his wrinkles crinkling into a deep knot.

He was staring at the little girl who had just slipped back from the orphanage gate.

"The orphanage is so boring, I'll just go out and play for a while. There won't be any danger."

Wu Xin stuck out her tongue, then rushed over and grabbed the hospital director's hand, gently shaking it.

"Grandpa Dean, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry."

She noticed fine beads of sweat on the dean's forehead; he must have been standing there for a long time, trying to catch her red-handed.

The headmaster looked down at the little girl who was shamelessly acting spoiled towards him, feeling no anger, only worry and affection.

After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, it's not that Grandpa intentionally wants to keep you in the orphanage, it's just that you're too young."

Human traffickers are rampant these days. If something happens to you, how will your grandfather explain it to your brother?

Looking at the worried look in the dean's eyes, Wu Xin felt a little guilty.

But she didn't change.

Next time she needs to be more careful and try not to let Grandpa Dean find out that she has sneaked out.

"What are you doing running around outside every day?"

Grandpa Dean suddenly stared at Wuxin and asked, he was very curious about what a little girl was doing running out every day.

Wu Xin's attention was immediately drawn to the butterfly flying by. She ran to catch it while saying something.

"Hmm... just look at the flowers, grass, and trees, feel the wind blowing outside, and catch little insects."
