The next day, Gou Rixin was woken up by a roar, and the snowplow rumbled over the path in the distance. The little wild cat sleeping at the other end stretched out its head and jumped into the bushes with a meow, while Gou Rixin stretched out with some nostalgia.

He looked up and watched the snowplow slowly approach, two amber eyes staring at the driver for a long time, until they passed him and a mist of snow rose around him.

"Ahh With a rumbling in his stomach, Gou Rixin sighed and left the warm bed. Walking among the grass, he stuck out his tongue and licked the snow, which was cold and bitter, with an earthy smell.

The number of people on the road gradually increased, and suddenly there was a loud shout not far away, and a man scolded and picked up the flannel cloth on the ground, shook it and spread it on the table again.

Squatting in front of a park map, Gou Rixin looked at the introduction on it seriously.

This is Gutan Park, one of the oldest parks in City B, and there are nearly 100 towering trees that are more than 100 years old. Despite the fact that it is winter, the pines and cypresses are still green, and with the light snow falling last night, the park is covered in snow and the scenery is pleasant, and there is an endless stream of people visiting the park.

The smell of roasted sausages gradually became fragrant, Gou Rixin swallowed his saliva, and ran back to the small shop with some excitement. He had heard Qiao Ming talk about this park, which was in the same direction as her school, and could be reached directly by bus. Knowing the way home, he can go home as long as he promises not to freeze to death, starve to death, or die of thirst. He was a little excited.

Wagging his tail and pretending to be well-behaved, he even rolled on the ground, and finally coaxed half a sausage in the hand of a little girl. But he didn't eat a few bites, and he was targeted by two stray cats. Gou Rixin vigilantly picked up the sausage and ran away, causing the people around him to laugh. But when the laughter heard in his ears, he was sad.

Is it really funny?

Most traffic cats didn't dare to get too close to people, and Gou Rixin saw that he was about to be caught up, so he hurriedly chose a nearby bench where people were sitting and jumped on it.

The two wild cats roared angrily at him, but they did not dare to approach. Gou Rixin was missing a front tooth, and it was quite difficult to eat, and after gobbling up the remaining sausages, he suddenly felt panicked in his stomach, and it was a little salty. The two wild cats glared at him angrily and turned to leave.

Gou Rixin meowed and breathed a long sigh of relief. When he jumped off the bench and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar pair of blue sneakers, and he jerked his head up.

I saw a little girl in a black down jacket, sitting on a bench with a schoolbag on her back, looking into the distance with a stunned expression, as if she was in a daze. It's just that the eyes are watery, as if they have cried. The scene of yesterday's escape is still vivid, which makes Gou Rixin's heart palpitate.

Anyway, it's also his savior. Gou Rixin squatted in front of her with a meow, just about to say hello.

A sudden gust of wind rushed behind him, which frightened him to jump away, and he arched himself on guard.

"Kiki, why are you crying, is your dad bullying you again?" said a young woman, sitting beside the little girl, touching her head and comforting her.

Gou Rixin looked at the woman and froze for a moment.

"Okay, don't cry, don't blame him, he's all for your good. Go back and talk to him, do you hear me?"

"You too, the older you get, the more uneasy you are," the woman sighed, her eyes slowly turning red, "it's all my fault, blame me for not being with you." As he spoke, he began to cry.

And the little girl somehow, tears fell from her eyes. Gou Rixin looked at the big and small in front of him, and he didn't dare to come out of the stiff atmosphere.

The woman was wearing a long floral dress, her long hair was scattered, and her whole body was a miserable white blue-gray, and the most shocking thing for Gou Rixin was that she had no feet. The long skirt was empty and swaying in the wind.

The ghost cried for a while, and slowly touched the little girl's head, looking distressed. And the girl buried her head in the palm of her hand and cried in a low voice.

"Hey, your father, sometimes his temper is a little irritable, but he is full of satisfaction and is good for you. ”

As a cat and dog dealer, Gou Rixin clenched his paws, and in his eyes he did not deserve sympathy at all, this kind of person should be reincarnated as a beast after death and experience the pain of being slaughtered by others.

"Do you remember, when you were in elementary school, your dad checked your homework, and you had to count the addition and subtraction with the calculator several times, for fear that you would make a mistake; every time you dictated words and read texts silently, your parents had to sign them, and your dad practiced on paper several times before he dared to write in the book. Now that you are older, you don't need your parents to check your homework, your dad must be very disappointed, he always says, look at how well Kiki writes, no worse than ordinary children. The woman sighed, "You must not forget any of this." Otherwise, how sad he would be. ”

Gou Rixin didn't know why, and he couldn't rest assured, so he had to silently retreat to the side, only poking out his head to stare at the female ghost who kept talking.

"Hey!" A loud shout suddenly came from behind him, and Gou Rixin turned back in horror, only to see that the woman suddenly appeared behind him at some point, floating in the air with a hideous face.

"Meow woo ——!" Gou Rixin was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped and ran to retract under the bench.

"What are you doing sneakily at my daughter!"

"Meow-" An angry scream rang out, startling the little girl who was sitting on the bench crying. Gou Rixin saw the blue sneakers move a few times, and a childish face suddenly leaned over. Next to it, there was also a blue-gray grimace. Gou Rixin was so frightened that he roared.

"Come out! you're scared Kiki!" the female ghost growled with a long face.

Gou Rixin shrank back, but saw the girl stretch out her hand to him.

"No, Kiki, you're going to get scratched by this stray cat. The female ghost suddenly said urgently, "Why are you so uneasy when you're so big, I warn you, put away your claws!"

The surroundings were suddenly cold and biting, like the wind on a cold night. Gou Rixin withdrew his paw and walked slowly towards the girl. Seeing the kitten approach, the girl sat on the ground, and suddenly cried and laughed. And Gou Rixin finally found that whether the girl was crying or laughing, her voice was always strangely hoarse, and something seemed to block her throat.

She has damaged vocal cords and is unable to speak.

No wonder the female ghost just said that she was no worse than an ordinary child.

The little girl took out a ham from her schoolbag, bit it with her teeth, peeled off the package, and fed Gou Rixin.

"Is this your dad leaving you for lunch, you give the cat what you eat yourself, I always say he wants to cook for you, why doesn't he listen. The female ghost next to her was full of anxiety and kept complaining.

When the little girl saw Gou Rixin's gobble, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, raised her hand and gestured for a while, as if she was saying something, but Gou Rixin didn't understand a word.

"Are you the cat she let go yesterday?" said the female ghost in surprise.

"Meow~" Gou Rixin nodded.

The girl was stunned, she stretched out her hand and hesitantly touched the cat's head, seeing Gou Rixin standing quietly and obediently, she burst into tears in an instant, she put her right hand on her forehead, and stretched out her little finger to point at herself.

"It's not you who should say I'm sorry, silly boy, it's all about adults. The female ghost choked up, squatted beside the girl, and touched her head, "It's all your father's sin." ”

The girl sat down for a while, then stood up and walked away with her schoolbag on her back, but the female ghost just looked at the girl's figure from afar, and did not follow. Gou Rixin squinted his eyes and looked at the other party's empty skirt, and felt a chill in his heart. Doesn't this ghost have feet in front of him?

Until the girl's figure disappeared into the crowd, the female ghost sighed and turned around, and seemed to be startled when she saw Gou Rixin.

"Why aren't you leaving? Can you see me?" the female ghost muttered to herself, confused.

Gou Rixin meowed, his pupils shrunk, and he stared at her motionlessly.

"You can really see me!" Before the words fell, the blue-gray grimace instantly enlarged in front of him, Gou Rixin was so frightened that he meowed, arched his body and ran back.

When the female ghost saw it, she was amused and laughed. Gou Rixin pulled his face and looked slightly angry.

The female ghost didn't seem to be surprised, and floated into the depths of the park alone. Gou Rixin hesitated for a moment, and the ghost sent the god to follow. It is true that the appearance of ghosts can be strange, but it is the first time that Gou Rixin has seen such a free ghost. Isn't she afraid of impermanence?

The female ghost floated to the garden reserve, where more than a hundred years old trees were densely populated, each of which could be called towering into the sky, covering the sky and the sun. Perhaps because of the winter days, the garden is so gloomy that there are few tourists, and only the cold wind rustles through the dry branches.

Following the female ghost to the foot of a towering tree, Gou Rixin held his nose and suddenly smelled something unusual. It is a huge pine tree dating back thousands of years, and its stout, craggy trunk is barricaded by an iron fence to prevent visitors from touching it.

A gust of wind suddenly hit him, and the black cat rolled over to dodge with a meow, and saw a pale, young, thin man floating past him.

It's just that, at the moment when he just dodged, he seemed to see something hanging from the tree above his head. Stiffly looking up little by little, he saw dozens of different pairs of feet, hanging from the trees and fluttering in the wind.

Gou Rixin was terrified in an instant, and the cold hairs on his body stood on end.

The lost feet of those ghosts were all cut off and hung here, why?

Does black and white impermanence matter?

Looking at those swaying feet, I was horrified. Who are these feet, so many ghost feet hanging from the tree, it is impossible for black and white impermanence not to know, or, they have no right to interfere?

"Hey!" the female ghost suddenly appeared in front of her, and when she saw Gou Rixin being frightened, she immediately laughed again, "What are you doing here?

"What deal?"

"Shhhhh

"What movie?"

"Shhhh

"I... Just passing by..."

"No one is passing by here for no reason, and has he seen something hanging on it? The female ghost exhaled a cold dead air, and a pair of hands slowly stretched out to Gou Rixin's neck.

With a meow and a scream, the black cat ran away.

Behind him came the terrible laughter of ghosts crying wolf.

Gou Rixin ran out of the ancient forest out of breath, and when he was about to leave, he looked back unwillingly. There is a secret hidden there, a secret about the underworld.

Since seeing his past life in the Thorn Fox Temple, Gou Rixin has always wanted to find a way to reincarnate himself as humane, but he knows very little about the affairs of the underworld, and the only one he has dealt with is black and white impermanence and cold-blooded ruthlessness. There are too few clues he can detect, and isn't it a great opportunity in front of him?

Maybe this time he will not die, and he will be blessed by misfortune? The more Gou Rixin thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, he gritted his teeth and returned to the ancient forest.

The sky was getting overcast, and the garden reserve was getting darker and darker. Gou Rixin cautiously walked to the thousand-year-old pine and looked at the ghosts that occasionally floated in front of him. The ghosts' legs were empty, and a few would stop and look up, only to quickly float away.

After waiting for a long time, the female ghost did not appear again.

"Hey, big brother" Gou Rixin was helpless, and called a male ghost who looked kind, "That, I want to find a female ghost wearing a floral dress, have you ever seen it?"

The male ghost squatted down, stretched out his finger and poked the cat's head with a confused face, "Are you possessed by the cat?

Gou Rixin endured the biting chill and silently took a step back, "I just want to ask someone, a young aunt, have you seen it?"

"Auntie, at this time, they should all be square dancing, right?"

"What?!"

There is a clearing in the middle of the garden reserve, which was a place of worship in ancient times. On the broken masonry, vague sacrificial totems can also be seen. The snow that had fallen last night was swept around by the cleaners, and a few snowmen with red lips and white skin were made. Gou Rixin walked along the road and stepped up the steps.

In the square, there was no music, no footsteps, only a group of uncles and aunts without feet, dancing silently.

Gou Rixin swallowed his saliva and slowly approached. The smell of ghosts is similar.,He's a little unrecognizable.,The cat's faint vision made him squint his eyes slightly and observe for a long time.,Finally, he saw several in skirts.,But which one exactly,He really can't recognize it.。。

"Uh-huh!" Gou Rixin cleared his throat and stood outside the ghost circle and shouted, "Kiki,—"

In an instant, all the ghosts froze, and they all turned their heads to look at Gou Rixin. Gou Rixin took a step back sharply and held his breath.

"Looking for me?"

A voice suddenly came from behind him, and Gou Rixin was so frightened that he jumped out and rolled to the ground, "Meow ——!"

"Are you looking for me?" the female ghost asked again.

At this moment, Gou Rixin was sandwiched between the female ghosts and the group of ghosts, and after the ghosts dancing in the square stopped moving, they all came in the direction of Gou Rixin. The yin qi around him was so cold that he shivered, and Gou Rixin meowed, thinking that it was better to go first.

"It's you, we'll see you at the old place!" After speaking, he rushed away in a panic.

The female ghost raised her head and smiled sympathetically at the ghosts, "Get out!"

On the bench, Gou Rixin was holding a cat's head and trembling, he counted to a hundred, if the female ghost didn't come, he would go home, this ghost nest, don't break in.

"What are you looking for me?"

"Meow-" Gou Rixin raised his head and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I want to ask you a few questions, what are those feet on the tree?"

"We hung it ourselves. ”

Gou Rixin looked surprised, "Why?"

"How do I know what they are?" the female ghost sat in her chair, looking confused.

"What about you?" asked Gou Rixin cautiously.

"I, I can't stand those sufferings, so I left their father and daughter and left first, and now I can't go back if I want to. The female ghost suddenly cried, "He must hate me, so his temper became more and more irritable, and he said that it was better to die than to live, but I really couldn't stand it, Kiki was still so young at that time." ”

"Is there any way to say that you hang your feet there?"

"Of course there is, otherwise what do we do when we cut off our feet for no reason, it hurts so much, we have to do it at that time... It scared the hell out of me..."

"Did you cut it yourself?" Gou Rixin was shocked, "Why did you do this?"

"Petition. ”

"What do you want, and to whom?"

Listening to Gou Rixin's words, the female ghost turned her head suddenly, and her face suddenly turned blue and hideous, "Who are you, why do you inquire about such a thing? Are you an undercover agent sent from below?" As soon as the words fell, the female ghost suddenly stretched out her hand, and her sharp nails flashed with cold light.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gou Rixin fell off the bench and fled. Damn!How does it feel like a triad.

It was getting dark, and Gou Rixin decided to go home first. Thinking that Qiao Ming couldn't find his lost appearance, he suddenly felt anxious. He followed the crowd to a bus stop sign and squinted at the words on it.

Bus No. 42, Station B.

After waiting for a long time, a bus came slowly, stopped in front of the stop sign, and with a bang, the door opened. Gou Rixin bowed up and jumped in.

"Damn!" the driver stood up suddenly, leaned out of the driver's seat and hurriedly pointed back, "That cat, help me get down!"
