Chapter 172 Lauren's Will
The next morning, I was awakened by the sound of a dog barking.
I thought a dog crawled into the room and sat up from **. I looked around and didn't find the dog. The doors and windows were closed.
So I shook my head and thought there was a hallucination.
But in retrosce, I found that the sound of the dog barking was very real just now, and it seemed to be in my ear.
At this time, Nobita also sat up, rubbed his eyes and said, "Where did the dog bark?"
I shook my head and said I didn't know, then put on a dress, came to the window and opened the window.
The wind and snow have stopped. The weather is good today, but it is still very cold.
I shivered and looked out, and there was no trace of a dog.
So I hurriedly closed the window and went back to ** to lie down.
As soon as I lay down, I suddenly thought of something and sat up and shouted, "Damn it! Aren't you leaving for the ruins island today? It's already dawn!"
With that, I patted Nobita's face and said, "Fatty, you're still sleeping!" Let's go today!"
When Nobita heard what I said, he muttered a few times, then turned over and continued to sleep.
But a second later, he almost bounced up from **, jumped up and said, "Yes! Get up, get up!"
After saying that, he hurriedly got dressed and rushed into the hall as fast as possible.
I've never seen Nobita get up so fast and didn't react. It seems that this guy is really panicked.
Shaking my head helplessly, I quickly put on my clothes, quickly straightened my hair, and came to the hall.
Andre and Liang Qian have been waiting for us in the hall. There are fried eggs, fried fish and some side dishes on the table, which looks very delicious.
I smiled shyly, and Daxiong bit half a piece of bread and said to me hesitantly, "Quick! Let's go after eating."
I nodded and finished breakfast quickly.
When eating, Andrea didn't say anything. He just looked at the bright sunshine outside the door and didn't know what he was thinking.
After dinner, Nobita and I went back to the room to get the equipment.
Although you may not be able to land on the island this time, it is always good to prepare in advance.
My backpack was put under the bed. The last time I went to Lop Nur, the backpack was rotten. This time I specially bought an Adi mountaineering bag, which cost me more than 5,000 yuan. I didn't expect to see Andre the next day after I bought the bag. I don't know if it was doomed. It's such a coincidence.
This waterproof and wear-resistant backpack should be more reliable than the previous bag. I really don't want to lose anything halfway.
I lay under the bed, grabbed the strap of the backpack and pulled it out.
At this time, I clearly heard a dog barking: "Wow!"
And the moment the dog barked, my backpack was also stuck by something.
I immediately understood that there must be a dog under the bed.
But how did it get in? When I got up in the morning, the doors and windows were closed.
Although I couldn't figure it out, I still put down the strap of my backpack so as not to break my new bag again.
I thought about it, Lauren is the only dog I have had to do with recently.
So I shouted, "Don't make trouble, Lauren, come out quickly."
The dog was really very spiritual. As soon as he heard this, a dark shadow came out from under the bed. It was Lauren.
After drilling out from under the bed, it shook the wood dregs on its body, shouted at me, and then stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail.
To be honest, when I first saw Lauren, I was shocked by his majestic posture, which was simply a cool wolf king, but now, this guy turned so fast, like a puppy next door.
I have liked dogs since I was a child. When I saw it like this, I smiled, squatted down and rubbed the hair on its neck, and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is there something to beg me?"
"Wow!" Lauren shouted loudly, not knowing whether it was saying or not.
I smiled helplessly and asked, "Where did you come in?"
Laren shouted again, turned her head and looked in the direction of the window.
I was a little surprised and said, did this guy jump in through the window and close the window?
This window is open, and it can't be opened from the outside. Did I forget to plug it last night?
Obviously, if you want to ask Lauren, it can't answer me.
Since it has appeared here now, there is always a way.
Although I can see that Lauren wants to follow me, I'm about to go to the ruins island and can't take it with me.
So I said to it, "Brother, you can come to the village, but don't be seen by too many people. You wait for me here for a few days. I have something to go out and wait for me to come back, okay?"
After saying that, I rubbed the hair on its neck, took out my backpack from under the bed, put it on my back, and then walked out of the door.
But I didn't take two steps and suddenly felt that my trousers were tight.
Looking back, it turned out that Lauren bit my trousers and won't let me go.
I said to myself that I didn't do anything to you. Why are you so clingy?
Seeing me turn around, Lauren let go of my trouser legs, ran to the door and began to circle in place.
I was puzzled. I thought about it and asked, "You mean, you want to follow me?"
"Wow!" Lauren shouted, then spit out her tongue and looked at me tamely.
I thought about it again and felt more and more incredible, so I asked, "Do you know where I'm going?"
"Wow!" Lauren shouted again and circled several times in place, obviously very excited.
At this time, I seemed to figure out something.
The reason why Lauren was suddenly so kind to me was probably that he wanted me to take it to the ruins island, and Andrea once said that its owner Zhuoya probably went to the ruins island.
So, Lauren didn't please me because he liked me. To put it bluntly, he still wanted to find its owner.
Thinking of this, I was a little disappointed, but I was still very moved, because after so many years, the dog is still so loyal, which is simply so friendly.
How can I refuse it when it is so persistent?
So I touched my chin and said, "Okay, but I can't make the decision. I'll try to talk to Andre to see if he brings you."
Laren seemed to be satisfied with my answer and walked away from the door wagging her tail.
I opened the door and walked out, and Lauren came out behind me.
At this time, everyone present was shocked.
Especially the village head and Andre, immediately sat up from the stool.
Andre said first, "This? What's going on? Why is this guy here?
Lauren saw Andre and the village head. Obviously, he was not as enthusiastic as me. His wolf king's posture appeared again, staring coldly at the people present without any other action.
I knew that although these people were surprised, they would not mean any harm to it, so I explained, "Don't worry... Listen to me tell you slowly."
Next, I told Andre the cause and effect of Lauren's desire to follow us to the ruins island.
After listening to this, Andre lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, if you take it with you, maybe you can find Zhuo Ya's body. We owe that child too much and should bring her back to her hometown for burial."
The village head also nodded in agreement.
Laren seemed to understand and shouted, as if she were saying thank you.
Andre laughed and said, "This old dog that has lived for more than 30 years has a different IQ. This dog is a little too smart."
When we heard what he said, everyone present laughed.
Next, I, Liang Qian, Daxiong, Andre, the village head, plus a big black mastiff, walked to the port.
The snow on the road has been swept away, but it is still a little muddy.
There are few people on the way to the port, and there is no grand ceremony, but I am still a little excited.
It's strange to think that when I came out of Lop Nur, I vowed never to go to any more ruins, but after I really experienced those things, I would feel boring after living a plain life.
In addition, Grandpa's matter has not been resolved, so this trip to the ruins island will be an important step in the whole game, and no wonder I will be a little excited.
