Chapter 474 Chapter 52: The Ghost of the Dog

"Weasel spirit?" Auntie asked in surprise. "You don't believe it?" Xu Qin already knew that they wouldn't believe him, "Hehe, if I wasn't a hunter, I wouldn't believe it either. But if a person often shuttles between the mountains and forests in the middle of the night, he will gradually become I found many weird things that ordinary people can't find." He looked around, as if he was afraid that others would hear, and whispered to his aunt and sister Si, "Actually... in many hidden corners... there are many things happening that we don't know..."

His aunt's emotions were affected by him, and she looked around nervously. "Think about it, almost every hunter has a dog, right?" Xu Qin asked. Aunt and Sister Si nodded. "A hunter is not a complete hunter if he lacks two things. One is a shotgun, and the other is a dog." Xu Qin stretched out two fingers and said slowly, "But you must not know that there are some hunters who... Another thing..." Although Sister Si didn't have any affection for this hunter who came on a blind date, her attention was deeply attracted by his words.Sister Si couldn't help asking, "Anything else?"

Xu Qin was quite happy to see Sisister taking the initiative to ask. "The other thing is the Inugami." "Inugami?" Sister Si frowned. "Inugami is not a god, but a dog's ghost. It is not difficult to raise an Inugami. You put delicious food in front of a dog that has been tied up in advance, but you just don't untie the rope for it to eat. The harder it struggles, the more it wants to eat. The desire will become more concentrated. Then cut off the dog's head with a sharp knife and throw it far away, the dead soul of the dog will haunt it, and it can be raised as a dog god." Xu Qin's eyes glowed said, as if he were doing this horrible thing.

Sister Si's hairs stood on end when she heard that. "A dog is the most loyal animal, so even if a hunter does this, it will not betray its former master. With the hunter of the dog god, it is much more powerful than the general hunter who drives the dog with a gun. If you hunt at night When encountering something dirty, the dog god can play a role that ordinary dogs cannot do." Xu Qin was triumphant, as if he had such a weird dog god.However, neither Aunt nor Sister Si noticed that this man only brought a shotgun and prey when he came, but there was no dog sticking out his tongue behind him.

"Isn't this too unfair to the dog?" Sister Si always had a kind heart. "What's so unfair? If I catch a prey, I will still offer meat to it, no less than when it was alive. If you were born a mouse, you have to avoid cats; if you were born a chicken, sooner or later it will become a plate in the owner's bowl." dishes. If these are unfair, then there has never been fairness." Xu Qin disagreed. Sister Si gave him a sideways look, and said, "It's dead, you give it back meat?" Xu Qin nodded, "Yes. On the surface, the meat it has eaten is no different from other meat, but if you take a bite, you will find that the meat it has eaten has no taste at all, and it tastes like It’s as indifferent as eating dirt.”

Sister Si snorted and said sarcastically, "It's as if you have raised a dog god." Xu Qin turned a deaf ear to Miss Si's sarcasm, and said carelessly: "I shot it a few years ago, and it has never come to me for revenge, it is afraid of me. Since it came to my aunt's house today." He offered a flattering tribute to his aunt. Smiling, he continued: "Then let me help my aunt catch this weasel essence as a gift. Use the weasel essence to make soup, drink it to prolong life, nourish yin and nourish yang, and it is a hundred times and a thousand times more nutritious than ordinary weasels. Weasel meat It has a certain medicinal value and can cure leukemia, hepatitis, anemia and various blood diseases. It is an excellent folk prescription for treating leukemia. Eating a weasel meat a day for seven days will be effective. This is its great Uses. For small uses, use it to fry oil, apply it to scabies and kill insects. Its heart and liver can cure abdominal pain. Hehe, from this we can see that the meat of weasel essence is comparable to thousand-year-old ginseng.”

Auntie squinted her eyes with joy and applauded again and again, wishing she could prepare the seasonings for the soup now, just waiting for the weasel to come to the pot obediently. "You want to catch that weasel spirit?" Sister Si asked suspiciously. "Didn't you say that your shotgun hit it or let it escape? It has a hundred years of practice, and you have only lived for more than twenty years. Can you fight it?" Xu Qin replied: "You will know when the time comes." The aunt said happily: "That's fine, let's have dinner here tonight. You can communicate with us, Si'er. The first time is raw and the second time is familiar." After finishing speaking, the auntie went to the kitchen to take down the basket hanging on the wall and replace it with a worn-out basket. black cloth shoes, to pick vegetables in the vegetable field near the forest farm mountain.

Sitting on the threshold of my house, I watched my aunt slip away like a thief carrying a bamboo basket. The vicious sun is shining, what vegetables to pick! When Sister Si saw her aunt gone, she left Xu Qin behind and went back to the gate to guard the grain drying yard, driving away the chickens and ducks that were eating wantonly on the ground. Xu Qin had a cold face, but he was not discouraged. He came out with a small stool, sat down beside Sister Si, and said courteously, "Just sit on the chair, and I'll help you get rid of these greedy things." "Greedy? No matter how good they are, they can't eat enough for one person, right?" Sister Si said coldly.

Xu Qin heard that there was something in the words, and knew that she wanted to drive him away.But he doesn't understand, I stayed here to catch the weasel spirit who harassed you secretly, there is no credit but hard work, so you don't hate me so much, do you? Could it be... Impossible, if she fell in love with a weasel, she wouldn't be so eager to go back to the city.Xu Qin thought so. Xu Qin thought about how Fa'er and Sister Si chatted with each other. In the unpleasant atmosphere, the sky darkened unknowingly.Smoke rose from the roofs of surrounding houses.Sister Si stood on tiptoe to look, but she still didn't see her auntie...

My aunt is the one who pays the most attention to eating on time and at fixed points in our large family. Sister Si murmured: "It shouldn't be..." It was getting darker.On the other side of the mountain in the distance, large groups of dark clouds gathered, as heavy as cotton soaked with ink, and seemed to fall down. "Could it be that you are sitting and chatting at someone's house, have you forgotten the time?" Sister Si comforted herself. With the help of Xu Qin, the rice in the ground was put away, and after waiting for a while, the aunt still did not come back.Sister Si finally couldn't sit still, she took a flashlight and went to find her aunt.By this time it was completely dark.

Xu Qin got up quickly and picked up his shotgun. He untied an iron pot from his waist, drank a couple of sips, and handed it to Sister Si. Sister Si looked at the rusty iron pot and asked, "What is this for?"
