A foreign city, dear you

This is a place called Shalang Village, about two kilometers away from Heao Village.

Most of the buildings in the village are relatively old, with patches of rust visible on the security windows, and a layer of gray fog on the exterior walls.

The houses are inconspicuously arranged in rows, making the alleys in the village appear crooked and deep.

There are many lines intricately gathered under the eaves on the first floor, all densely tied together.

In a slightly sloping alley, a man and a woman were walking side by side.

The man is wearing a thin casual coat, has a slender figure, handsome appearance, and a faint bookish aura;

The woman wears a purple long-sleeved shirt with a crisp collar and carries a small black backpack. She has a gentle appearance, a petite figure, and an intellectual and elegant temperament.

These two people are none other than Teacher Xie Bin Xie and Teacher Ye Lianye.

Today is Wednesday, the school's home visit day, so the school ends early so that the teachers can go out for home visits earlier.

There happened to be several students in Ye Lian's class and Teacher Xie's class in Sharon Village. In addition, a student in Teacher Xie's class had been behaving a little abnormally in the English class recently. She also wanted to visit with Teacher Xie. So she and Teacher Xie went together.

It's late May, and the weather along the city is still so weird. I've been wearing short-sleeves for the past few days, and turning on a fan to cool down at night. But the temperature suddenly dropped yesterday, causing people to switch from cooling mode to keeping warm mode. .

When Ye Lian left school, she forgot to put on the coat she took off in the office, but now she wears a long-sleeved one, which feels comfortable and she doesn't feel cold.

They have already visited several students, and they have also visited the home of the student Ye Lian in Teacher Xie's class wanted to visit.

It looks like it's getting dark.

According to the plan, Ye Lian is now going to visit the home of a female student named Yang Li in Class 2 ([-]).

Teacher Xie said that he had almost finished visiting the students at home and he could accompany Ye Lian.

Ye Lian had almost never been to Shalang Village on weekdays, and the alleyway was full of twists and turns, which made Ye Lian feel dizzy and didn't know where she was.

After asking around while walking, and with Teacher Xie having some memory of this place, I was finally close to finding Yang Li's home.

Ye Lian visited Yang Li at home not because Yang Li couldn't keep up in her studies or was undisciplined in class. On the contrary, Yang Li was very well-behaved and her grades were excellent.

But recently, Yang Li has shown a tired look. She sometimes falls into a trance in class. Her assignments are not written as cleanly as before, giving the impression that she is struggling to finish them.

Ye Lian has always loved Yang Li very much. Based on a teacher's intuition, Ye Lian thought that something must have happened to Yang Li.

She tentatively asked Yang Li, but Yang Li refused to say anything.

Therefore, taking advantage of this home visit to Shalang Village, Ye Lian wanted to go to her house to learn about the situation.

From when I inquired about the road conditions just now, I learned that walking up this cement slope and walking a little further should be the address of Yang Li's home.

The two people walked and looked around.

"Woof! Woof!" A fierce dog barked suddenly from the front.

"There's a dog ahead!" Teacher Xie said, walking in front of Ye Lian very vigilantly, and at the same time searching around with his eyes, trying to find something to defend himself against.

However, Teacher Xie didn't find anything useful.

Both slowed their pace, both wary of the dog in front of them.

Suddenly, a big black dog came out quietly from an alleyway on the left!

Ye Lian was shocked.

Why are there dogs everywhere here?

The big black dog happened to be standing on the slope, with its head held high and its ears erect, its eyes fixed on the two of them. There was a kind of eerie terror that made people intimidated.

Ye Lian has been afraid of dogs since she was a child, and this time she was so scared that her heart went crazy.

I heard people say that a barking dog does not bite, and a biting dog does not bark. This dog is very quiet. He won't jump up and bite people, right?
