Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 314 Girl and Dog
"I said, is it okay for you to follow me?"

The black-haired young man held the wedding invitation card between his fingertips and looked at the human boy following him.

The minor had changed into a fleece sweatshirt with a hood today. Now he buttoned the hood over his head and put his hands in the connected pockets in front of his abdomen.

"It doesn't matter." Gao Tianyi whispered, "Brother Xia definitely doesn't want to see me now anyway."

The young man squatted on the ground, clutching the turf on the ground, looking a little languid. He was not as energetic as he was two days ago.

He was actually scolded before going to bed in the early morning. Even in his dreams when he took a nap at dawn, it was Xia Chengyin's face, scolding him for disobeying orders and acting privately.

Well, he does have this problem usually, but nothing has ever happened to him.

To put it simply, what happened last night was that they were already preparing to retreat. He suddenly had an idea in his mind. He picked up his fingers and tried to catch one of the monsters with unclear faces that was chasing them. If that didn't work, he would pull some of them off. Might as well go back and do research.

The young man thought this way and acted this way, and then he was almost killed by a strange monster.

After eating the talisman, it was broken up. He seemed to have done enough damage, but he didn't expect that the phantom monster would reappear in the next second, caging above his head and about to pounce on him.

When two adults took him away, one on the left and the other on the right, because of the venue, one hit his face and the other got his foot sprained.

Fortunately, fortunately, the monster in the illusion escaped from the mountain road and returned to the Wenjia Village. After passing the stone monument at the entrance of the village, it did not appear again.

"I'm reflecting on it." Gao Tianyi muttered, "I'm really reflecting on it."

Bai Su stared at the human boy speechlessly.

He couldn't tell. He couldn't tell whether Gao Tianyi had reflected on it. He always felt that he had reflected on it, but it was not sufficient.

It's really enough. I won't run here with him.

At least he said hello to Tang Nuo, who was walking at the end because his leg was still a little lame. He took the wedding invitation from the human and slipped away in the middle of the road.

He didn't care that there was a little tail on the back of his butt. Humans would find someone to keep up with him. Compared to Tang Nuo and Xia Chengyin, Gao Tianyi was actually easier to deal with.

Human beings will settle their disputes later. After confirming that Gao Tianyi had no intention of returning, they stood at this T-shaped intersection, waiting for the wedding team to pass by.

The sound of firecrackers went off one after another. The place where they stood was still some distance away from where the gongs and drums sounded. The nearby villagers seemed to have gone to watch the fun, and they were the only ones standing there.

This road should be the only way to welcome the bride.

Bai Su judged based on his wandering around the village yesterday and Wen Jianyuan's directions. Unless the groom's team wanted to find another way, then he could only take the human boy to another place.

"Speaking of it." The black-haired young man nodded his chin and asked, "How does a wedding ceremony usually proceed?"

No one responded for a long time, and the young man who was scratching at the ground realized after a while that Bai Su was asking him.

The human boy was stunned for a moment, thinking that Bai Su didn't understand rural customs.

"Cars... Cars can't be driven here, so bicycles, three-wheeled tractors? As for animals, horses, donkeys, cows, etc... If it's more traditional, it's a sedan."

Gao Tianyi counted them with his fingers and still felt that the middle ones were more likely.

Sedan sedans are really too traditional, and even wealthy families cannot use them. It can't be... This village shares a sedan or something, is it called a shared sedan chair?

The young man's thoughts spread out and he was amused by his own thoughts.

He laughed twice and found that his voice was a bit abrupt. He quickly grimaced, loosened the grass clippings in his hands, clapped his hands and stood up.

Gao Tianyi raised his head and put his hands in front of his eyebrows, as if looking into the distance.

"It's getting closer, it seems like it's coming soon."

The smoke and dust raised by the explosion of firecrackers approached. The villagers walking in front set a long string of red firecrackers on the ground, lit the fuses and ran away.

Just a crackling sound was heard, and the sound of gongs and drums was approaching.

The procession to welcome the bride was really lively, even a little noisy when you got closer.

The human boy next to him had already covered his ears. Amidst the noise of gongs and drums, he gestured with his mouth to express what he wanted to say and glanced at the back of the team.

There is no sedan as imagined. It seems that Wenjia Village is not that traditional. The groom uses an ox cart to pick up the bride.

But... Bai Su's black eyes penetrated the white smoke and saw the people on the bullock cart covered by the smoke.

Their expressions were quite wrong, they didn't feel as happy as they imagined they would get married.

There was a smile on the groom's face, but the smile did not reach deep into his eyes. It only floated on the surface, as if a mask was embedded in his face.

And what about the bride on the other side?Probably accompanied by the bridesmaid, the two of them were talking quietly together. Although their expressions could not be seen clearly, they were definitely not smiling, and they were not even looking at the groom.

The team that could be seen clearly by the monster kept knocking closer and further away, with a long list of villagers following behind, and a few children running around nearby.

Among them was a little girl that Bai Su and the others had met twice before. She had changed into a very festive red dress today, and was jumping behind her with a big yellow dog.

The girl looked around, and from time to time she approached the villagers to ask for candy. Until she looked at where Bai Su and the others were, the smile on her face froze.

There was an obvious stiffness, and even the jumping steps stopped. The person stood there, leaving only the big yellow dog still rushing forward.

With this rush, he rushed to Bai Su's feet.

The big yellow dog that was "brand new from the factory" had no memory of the black-haired young man's terror and its previous reaction of trembling with its tail between its legs.

The native dog unconsciously circled around their legs, and ran back wagging its tail after being called by its little master's name.

As soon as he returned, the little girl wrapped his arms around the big yellow dog's neck and hugged him tightly. The girl's eyes stared at the two of them warily... mainly at Bai Su, wary of Bai Su's approach.

The black-haired young man, who had no intention of doing anything, at least not during the day, spread his hands.

If he met him at night, he might be greedy and take a bite.

Thinking like this, Bai Su took a step forward. In contrast, the girl also took a step back.

Then the above scene reappeared, knowing that the girl had no choice but to retreat.

The girl holding the dog did not hit the wall, but bumped into Gao Tianyi who spontaneously circled behind and blocked him.

The young man was a head taller than the girl, and he cooperated with Bai Su to block them one after another.

It seemed like a bad visitor, but unfortunately there were no other spectators. Most of the villagers followed the procession of welcoming the bride and walked away.

Bai Su squatted down, and the girl was like a cat being strangled by the fur on the back of her neck, her neck shrunk and her eyes widened.

"Don't be afraid." Bai Su originally wanted to say that he was not a bad person, but then he thought that the wording was not accurate, so he changed his words and said, "I don't eat people."

Now, the girl was even more vigilant. The experience of being forcibly taken away yesterday was still fresh in her mind.

Gao Tianyi looked at the girl's attitude from the side and felt that no, the conversation could not go on.

Although he didn't know why Bai Su wanted to find this little girl, it seemed like it was the first time he saw the face of the little girl in the red dress, but adults always have their own ideas, so the young man went up to smooth things over.

"Little sister, we are going to a wedding banquet. If we don't know the way, we'll wait here." It's a far-fetched reason. Anyway, as long as the person telling it is believed, "Well... where are your parents? Why are you the only one here? here?"

"...Grandma has difficulty with her legs and feet, so she went to the dining place to wait in advance."

Perhaps she felt an unknown threat, the little girl explained honestly.

Except for the dog in her arms, barking and barking, looking fearless.It is really completely different from the native dog I saw the night before yesterday. Could it be said that there will be some changes in the individual after reconstruction?

Bai Su stretched out his hand and placed his fingers in front of the big yellow dog's mouth, causing the native dog to bared its teeth.

Gao Tianyi: ...

Gao Tianyi: Brother Bai, stop playing!
Seeing that the black-haired young man was more interested in dogs than girls, the human boy slowly raised a question mark.

Why did things become like this? Three minutes later, Gao Tianyi was holding the little girl's hand while he, Brother Bai, was holding the big yellow dog. Gao Tianyi couldn't understand.

The young man looked at the little girl in his hand, and then at the native dog in Bai Su's arms that went from barking to shaking like a quail, and felt that something happened in between, something he didn't know about.

Bai Su, who held "food" in his arms, felt much better. He seemed to have finally remembered the business and started asking questions.

"Yesterday...or should I say early this morning, did you lose something important in your village?"

"I don't know." The little girl pursed her lips.

A child sleeps so well at night, she has no idea what happened late at night.

Bai Su didn't expect to get the answer from the little girl. He just felt that the people in the village were emotionally drained very quickly. Even though they lost important things during the night, they were able to hold the wedding as usual during the day.

Obviously, it is an important thing related to the survival of the village.

It's also possible... As deduced before, the day and night in Wenjia Village are separated.

"Then let's change the question." Bai Su pinched "Food"'s dog paw, raised it and waved it, "Do you know the groom and bride who are about to hold a wedding?"

They are now walking on the way to the wedding banquet venue. The little girl personally guides them. They don't need to take detours and can take shortcuts.

Of course the little girl knew the groom and the bride. Wenjia Village was only so big, so everyone looked up and down.

Due to the dog's presence, the little girl answered and answered a series of questions that Bai Su asked later.

How good is the relationship between the groom and the bride? How long have they known each other? Was the marriage agreed upon early in the morning?Many questions of this type have been asked.

Bai Su spoke very quickly, not giving the little girl much chance to react. Moreover, the child's mind didn't move that fast, so it was too late to make up a lie.

Except for a few obviously stuck sentences, they all sounded like real answers.

The relationship between the groom and the bride is not very good. They have known each other for a long time. However, the little girl is not very clear about this. She only hears it from adults occasionally.

The marriage was decided early in the morning. Even if the bride and groom were not the bride and groom today, there would be other candidates.

In other words, it doesn't matter who the two people getting married are, as long as they are a man and a woman. It's just that there happen to be suitable candidates in the village, so just bring them over and put them together.

"Then - the one who celebrates his birthday tomorrow?"

"Second aunt's birthday is next week." The little girl whispered, "But everyone in the village said they should celebrate it for her in advance."

The old man's own wishes are not very important at this time, everything is for the village.

What is this for?The black-haired young man thought to himself.

As we walked, the sound of firecrackers had stopped long ago, but the sound of loud music continued. It could not be said to be very pleasant, and there were occasional wrong sounds, but the main theme was joyful.

It was full of joy and everyone's emotions were aroused.

Bai Su stood at the door. He turned to the human boy and asked, "Are you really going in?"

From outside the open door, you can see that there are tables filled with tables. Many people are already sitting at the tables, and there are several plates placed on the table.

Taking a quick look around, you can see that there are fried golden and crispy dried fish on the plate.

"Do you really want to go in?" Bai Su asked again, "If you just sit in and don't eat anything, you will be stared at."

Bai Su stated a fact that is likely to happen.

He touched the invitation card and came here because he saw the food at the wedding banquet, but what should humans do?

To eat fish or not to eat fish, that is the question.

Gao Tianyi was asked, and his eyes returned to the dinner table two days ago. The delicious and plump "fish" was served on plates and bowls, and the owner of the house had an obviously unusual attitude.

"Ah..." The young man opened his mouth and couldn't help but tighten his hands, "I..."

It's very risky to go in, but if you don't go in, it's obviously not appropriate to leave Bai Su alone in there... Wait!
The minor thought about what Bai Su said and felt something was wrong.

Why did he acquiesce that they were going in to eat?
Can't they not go in?

Gao Tianyi turned his head suddenly, and the black-haired young man smiled gluttonously.

No, no, no, they can't!
"I think you can eat it. You see, I ate a whole table at Wen Jianyuan's house that day. Isn't it okay now?"

"...I think Brother Bai is just an example, and you can't generalize from an example."

"Well, actually I think you can give it a try."

"It's better not to..."

Gao Tianyi resisted with all his strength, and even tried to get the invitation that Bai Su held between his fingertips.

As long as he gets it, Bai Su will be able to dispel the idea of ​​going in and taking a look in person.

However, the young man was restricted by his height. Even if he jumped up, he would still be a few fingertips away from the black-haired young man's raised arm.
They coerced them all the way... The girl they brought over: Are they sick?
The little girl in the red dress couldn't understand, and she didn't want to understand either.

Seeing that the two "bad guys" in her eyes had no time to care about her, even though she wanted to get the big yellow dog back, she was weak on her own, so the little girl ran in.

After a while, she led an adult out.

When she walked to the door, the little girl didn't say anything. She raised her hand and pointed at the native dog held in Bai Su's arms.

The adult who accompanied him frowned. He didn't think Bai Su was a dog snatcher.

But something not so wonderful happened yesterday. The master cleared his throat seriously: "This guest, can you please return Wen Hong's dog?"

Bai Su's raised hand paused, and the invitation was taken away by Gao Tianyi who jumped up.

But it doesn't matter. It's unlikely that a human boy will tear up the invitation in front of others.

Bai Su glanced at the little girl with a smile and put the dog on the ground obediently.

The big yellow dog ran away as soon as its legs hit the ground, and hid behind the little girl with its tail between its legs. Even though the little girl was not big enough to hide it, it still hid there.

Look, now the dog is full of fear of Baisu's existence like its predecessors.

After the adult helped get the dog back, he began to study the identities of Bai Su and Gao Tianyi. His eyes passed over the invitation in Gao Tianyi's hand.

"Oh, you are Wen Tao's friends, right? Only people she knows need to come with invitations."

"I'm here for a wedding banquet, do you want to go in now?"

A not-so-good, and to a certain extent, death invitation was sent.
