Chapter 113: The Old Cat
Zhou Xuanshui's hometown is not far from Yangcheng, that is, dozens of kilometers away, in the next county of Zhou Zifei's hometown, when I was on the way, I asked Zhou Xuanshui's master which hero he was.
Zhou Xuanshui didn't understand, but said that his master had come to Yangcheng some time ago, which made me understand a little, it should have been during the magic knife incident, which also made me vigilant, don't be pitted.
When we arrived, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, there were not many people in the village, originally the young and strong went out to work, and left some old people and children at home, but now the old cat happened, most of the people ran away, went out to hide from relatives, and only dared to come back during the day.
There is an ancestral hall in the village, which is well repaired, and more than a dozen young adults are guarding day and night with knives and sticks, and they can't keep it, if they let the old cat get close to the old lady, it will be terrible to deceive the corpse, and a village will suffer.
"Zhou Xuanshui is back, is the master coming back?"
"It's coming, it's coming, has Aaron woken up?"
"When I woke up, I was in the wing of the ancestral hall"
Aaron is the veteran, this morning determined to get rid of the old cat, took a knife to kill the cat, but he didn't expect to be knocked down by the old cat, just woke up not long after.
"Lao Zhou, this is the master you invited, so young, can't you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a master recommended by my master, you know a fart, apologize to the master"
"I'm sorry, master, I'm talking nonsense, don't you care"
A person was suspicious of my identity, but Zhou Xuanshui told him very seriously that this was a master recommended by his master, how could it be wrong.
"It's okay, let's go see Aaron first"
"Okay, let's go in"
Zhou Xuanshui led the way in front, there were wings on both sides of the ancestral hall, they used to be inhabited by people, but now no one lives, clean up and use them as utility rooms, put tables, chairs and benches, and these tables, chairs and benches are taken out when there are collective activities.
"Aaron, how are you?"
"Uncle Zhou, I'm fine, but I'm a little dizzy"
"Aaron, I found a master to show you, you listen to the master"
"Aaron yes, I'll show you, don't be nervous, open your mouth first, yes, don't move, I'll look at your eyes, it's okay, it's okay"
I went up to check on Aaron, and he wasn't seduced, but fortunately, otherwise things would be a little troublesome.
"Master, what's wrong with me?"
"It's okay, it's just that you've been hit by ecstasy, when you look at that old cat, do you feel that the world is spinning, and then you lose consciousness"
"Yes, yes, that's it, I feel so tired, I can't move, and then I feel like the world is spinning, and then my eyes are black and I am unconscious"
"That's right, small things, sleep well, go to the pharmacy to grab a little soothing medicine to eat, find a Chinese medicine doctor, just say that you were frightened, and you will get better soon"
"Thank you master, it's okay, they all said that I was hooked by the cat demon and scared me to death"
Ah Long breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the people around him said that he was hooked by the cat demon, and he was so scared that he didn't want it.
"It's okay, let's go see the old lady"
"What's so nice about the old lady"
"Let's see"
I shook my head, and then went to the ancestral hall to see the old lady who had died, the old lady looked very old, although they brought ice cubes and piled them next to them, but in three days there was some smell, if they were not sent for cremation, then it would really rot by then.
"Mr. Li, the old lady's death is not strange, it is really old, the oil is running out, and the people in the village have seen her breath with their own eyes, this is the old lady's grandson, great-grandson's family"
Zhou Xuanshui said beside me, there is indeed nothing strange about the death of the old lady, people in their nineties, the oil is exhausted, and the lamp is dry.
There are a few people who came with Zhou Xuanshui who were wearing gray linen clothes, wearing linen and wearing filial piety, this is the rule, the older ones look like they are in their fifties, they belong to the old lady's grandson's generation, the old lady's son has a long lifespan, and he walked in front of the old lady, and his great-grandson is also about twenty or thirty years old.
The old lady's family was very frightened, to be honest, if it weren't for the fear that the people in the village would scold them for being unfilial, they would have run away, and they were frightened by the old cat, so as soon as they saw me, they said that as long as I could get the old cat, no matter what the price was.
The economy along the eastern coast is developed, and the old lady's family members have also made a lot of money, and now they are not distressed about money at all, the main thing is to solve the old cat and let the old lady settle down.
"Do you know where the old cat is?"
"Know, in the old lady's house"
"Take Me There"
"Mr. Li, it's dangerous over there"
"Dangerous?"
"Well, the cat demon summoned the domestic cats and wild cats from the nearby ten miles and eight villages, there are more than two hundred, all of them are in the old lady's house, and they are very fierce, they don't let people get close, they will attack people."
Zhou Xuanshui replied, there are more than 200 cats, many of which are big cats of more than ten catties, and the cats in the countryside are not pet cats, the paws are not trimmed, they are very long, and there is a blood mark when they scratch it, and they are afraid of rabies, and they will have to be injected when the time comes.
"The village is quiet, and the dogs won't all be scared away."
"Mr. Li guessed correctly, the dogs in the village were scared, and they either ran away or were taken away"
Zhou Xuanshui said that even seventy or eighty pounds of black backs were killed by the old cat, and the rest of the dogs were scared to pee, plus there was no habit of tying ropes, most of the dogs in the village ran away, and many villagers lived in relatives' houses on the grounds of looking for dogs.
"It's okay, I'll take a look from afar"
"Oh well"
Zhou Xuanshui took me out of the ancestral hall, and then walked to the end of the village, I didn't go far to arrive, there were no lights, but in the yard, on the balcony, dense with green eyes, I didn't get close, I heard the cat's cooing low roar, which was to warn us not to approach.
"Brother, it's terrible, let's withdraw"
Zhou Zifei glanced at it, and suddenly felt sweaty behind his back, and kept swallowing saliva, if he was attacked, he could eat people alive.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, is there a flashlight, it can't be a mobile phone, it's very bright."
"Yes, I'll get it"
Zhou Xuanshui replied, and soon, he brought a flashlight, which was the kind of powerful flashlight used by security guards.
I turned on the flashlight and shone it on the cats, and one by one the cats exploded, and the whole village rang out with the sound of cats, and it was the kind with the warning of attack.
"Mr. Li, get out of the way, there are a few cats ready to attack us"
Zhou Xuanshui pulled me back, because on the left and right of us, there were a few cats slowly approaching with their bodies low, this is the standard posture of cats when hunting, and the people in the village know that when they get close to a certain extent, they will attack.
"Mr. Zhou, didn't the owners of these cats come to chase them?"
"Mr. Li, who dares, the news has already spread out in three days, no one dares to come up at all, and someone said yesterday that they wanted to come to the live broadcast, and they were scared away after seeing it"
"Then if these cats are killed, I won't be responsible."
"That's definitely not necessary, we should lose money and lose money, we are responsible"
"Okay, arrange a car from the crematorium to pull people tomorrow morning"
I nodded, I'm relieved to have his words, it's just a bunch of beasts, can it still be turned upside down?
"Mr. Li, these cats are not to be worried, the key is the old cat"
"I understand, so you go and rest tonight, and I'll guard the ancestral hall."
"Ah, Mr. Li, you can think about it"
"Of course I've thought it through, get me something"
I nodded, and then told Zhou Xuanshui what I asked for, and asked him to collect it, it was not a rare thing, and it was collected quickly.
"Zhou Zifei, what about you, do you want to keep vigil with me?"
"Brother, I think so, I have to drive tomorrow, as a driver, I must not drive tiredly"
Zhou Zifei said righteously, what are you kidding, there are dead people in the ancestral hall, and there are cat demons in the village, do you stay to find death, if you don't get caught by the cat demon, you have to be scared to death.
"Okay, let's find a place to rest."
I didn't ask for much, and soon returned to the village, Zhou Xuanshui had already found what I wanted, mainly cardboard and film, and then tied to the blank space of my hands and feet, which was mainly used as armor, otherwise the old cat's scratch would be really bloody.
"Mr. Li, we are in the building opposite, everyone is here, keep talking at any time, or you shout, we are still in our twenties."
"Good"
Zhou Xuanshui didn't run away with people, but went to a house on the side of the ancestral hall, the doors and windows were locked, and then they all crowded on the windows to observe the ancestral hall.
The gate of the ancestral hall was open, and there was no one to guard it, and I sat in front of the old lady, and beside me, there was a bamboo pole, a set of fishing nets, and the kind of fishing nets, the kind with handles.
I sat like this for more than ten minutes, I heard movement on the roof of the ancestral hall, the roof is made of glazed tiles, there are things moving on it, I looked up and saw that a big cat appeared, really big, at least thirty or forty centimeters long, more than a dozen catties, bigger than Teddy's dog, the breed should be the kind of raccoon cat.
The old cat came to me step by step, crouching down, green eyes full of hostility, and a cooing growl in his throat.
"Up"
As soon as I pulled the red rope beside me, five puppets were immediately erected around the old lady, one on the top of the head and one on all four limbs, and as soon as the puppet was erected, the old lady's breath disappeared suddenly, and the old cat immediately stopped, and there was a hesitant look in his eyes.
"Haste as Commandment"
I pinched the trick with both hands, and then put a talisman on my body, and there was a tuft of hair in the talisman, which belonged to the old lady, and soon, the old cat looked at me in shock, and began to meow at me, without any hostility, but as if she was coquettish.
I disguised the old lady's breath and disguised it as the old lady's breath for this moment, and then I took out a can of fish, opened it, put it on the ground, and beckoned to the old cat.
"Meow, meow, meow"
The old cat didn't suspect it, and slowly walked up to me, rubbed it on the leg of my trousers, and then lowered his head to eat the canned fish.
"I'm sorry"
I said a silent thought to myself, then I spilled my fishing net and covered it over the old cat.
