Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 22 Wild Dog

During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Shandong was in chaos and killed people like hemp. The imperial court sent troops to annihilate, and the soldiers and bandits clashed, killing and injuring countless people. Li Hualong, a villager, fled back to his hometown from the deep mountains. When the Qing soldiers killed the thieves, they met halfway. I heard for a long time that the Qing soldiers were ferocious and afraid of the fish in the pool. There was no place to hide eagerly. Seeing that the ground was full of dead bodies, the idea moved, he lay stiffly in the pile of dead people, and cheated to avoid disaster.

The Qing soldiers dispersed, and there was silence around him. He secretly opened his eyes and watched. He saw dead bodies with no head and broken arms gathered and climbed up from the ground one after another. One of the dead bodies, with his head cut off and shoulders, couldn't fall off. He said in his mouth and shouted, "The dog demon is coming. What should I do?"

The corpses said in unison, "What should I do? What should I do?" After saying that, a dead body fell to the ground again and stopped moving.

A few days after that, a monster came from afar. The head of the beast knelt down and gnawed it one by one in the pile of dead people, sucking the brain marrow.

Li Hualong was very afraid and hid his head under the body.

The monster reached out and stroked Li Hualong's shoulder and wanted to eat his brain. Li Hualong secretly resisted hard. The monster tried several times, but failed to get what he wanted. He gradually became impatient and reached out to remove the body one by one. At this time, Li Hualong's head was exposed and there was nowhere to hide.

Life and death are on the front line. Li Hualong refused to wait for death. For a while, he touched a hard stone the size of a sea bowl, shouted, and hit the monster in the mouth fiercely.

The monster howled sadly, sounded like a night owl, covered its mouth and was in pain. A mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground and ran away.

Li Hualong stared and searched. He saw two teeth in his blood, about four inches long, sharp at both ends, and bent in the middle. He took them back for his friends to study and details. Everyone was puzzled and didn't know where it came from.
