"I said, as a prayer teacher, you can't be so economical, right?" Miao Yi jumped into Gu Qi and Xu Peirong's house from the window, rummaged through the garbage cans in the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and looked at it, and walked into the living room with a disappointed face.

"Yikes! Meow! Xu Peirong put down the dishes and chopsticks, happily rushed over and hugged Miao Yi in her arms, scratching her forehead.

"Please call me by my full name, in addition, although I have become a cat, I used to be a person, and I also have a respectful ...... as a human being" Before Miao Yi's words were finished, Xu Peirong had already scratched its chin, and it immediately aimed at its eyes and straightened its neck, with a look of enjoyment.

"There should still be some fish bones in the garbage can." Gu Qi said lightly.

Miao Yi was furious: "Bastard! Knowing that I was coming to you, I didn't prepare some fresh black sea bream and whitefish, and let me eat fish bones? What if a fish bone gets stuck, or eats my noble body? Who can afford this! ”

"It's inland, and I can't afford to eat seafood." Gu Qi picked up a pickled cucumber and put it in his mouth.

He is a person who doesn't care about the taste of food, and his cooking skills are gradually getting better because of Xu Peirong's more picky taste buds, but she is only interested in taste, and she doesn't have any requirements for ingredients, and she has always felt that making the best food with the most ordinary ingredients is a real skill, but she will try to ask Gu Qi to buy cheap things.

As a prayer teacher, this kind of life is indeed too light.

"Did I buy my cans? It's easy to shop online. Miao Yi no longer had the idea of eating seafood, and asked seriously.

"Canned chicken, huh? Wrap it around me. Xu Peirong had already put Miao Yi on the ground and scratched it all around.

"Huh? Can you hear me? Miao Yi opened her mouth wide and looked at Xu Peirong.

"Of course, it's a pity that I don't have the ability, otherwise I would be a prayer teacher." Xu Peirong's expression was a little lost, and she stopped what she was doing.

"Well, there's no need to worry about this, it may be that I haven't found a way to awaken yet, or it may be a matter of age, I know a prayer master, and I only have the ability at the age of seventy-two." Miao Yi tried to comfort Xu Peirong, or she probably hoped that she would continue to tickle herself.

"Seventy-two? Won't I become an old woman? Xu Peirong sighed resentfully.

Realizing that she had lost her words, Miao Yi got up and asked Gu Qi, "Uh...... Let's go? ”

"In such a hurry? What's wrong? Gu Qi ate the rice in the bowl and took out a cigarette.

"If I'm not mistaken, the lair of the half-body souls should be on the west side, ten to twelve kilometers from here, and they appear at the school at midnight, and if they climb to the school, then they have to leave the nest before nine o'clock, and I can't find them after they leave, I don't know when, if we set off now, we will definitely be able to get there before eight o'clock." Miao Yi analyzed.

"Can you smell ten kilometers away?" Gu Qi was a little surprised.

"If it's a real smell, then of course not, the smell will be affected by the wind, I basically can't smell the fishy smell two kilometers away, but the soul is different, the special smell of the soul is not affected by the wind, ten kilometers is not a problem." Miao Yi said very surely.

Gu Qi nodded: "To the west, ten to twelve kilometers...... It should be the Treasure Elephant Cemetery. ”

Miao Yi also nodded: "It's the same as I thought, let's go, don't want to dump me, the Baoxiang Cemetery is so big, I still have to find the specific location." ”

"Half-souls? What is that? Xu Peirong asked curiously.

"We don't know, we're going to investigate." Gu Qi stood up as he spoke, holding Miao Yi's stomach and putting it on his shoulder.

"Oh, be careful." Xu Peirong sat back at the table and continued to eat her dinner.

…………

Gu Qi walked downstairs and came to the courtyard, Miao Yi squatted on his shoulder, kept flicking his tail to maintain balance, obviously still a little uncomfortable.

"Your family is so shabby, you don't have to expect to take the car, right? Taxi to? It was almost dark, and the driver was afraid that he would not dare to run to the cemetery. Miao Yi muttered, Gu Qi and Xu Peirong could hear it talking, for ordinary people, its words were just cat meows.

"I don't have the money to get a taxi, but I do." Gu Qi said and walked into the bicycle shed, and came to a long-fashioned permanent 28-inch bicycle that had been discontinued for many years.

The bike looks very old, but it's well maintained, the rims are still bright silver, and the seats are original without a single crack.

"Isn't it? You stole it from the museum? Miao Yi's pupils shrank into a slit, and the age of this car was estimated to be several rounds older than Gu Qi.

"Strong and durable, not afraid of gambling cars, not afraid of running out of electricity." Gu Qi unlocked the lock, pushed the car out, and asked, "Are you sitting in the back?" ”

"No, I'd better sit on your shoulder, my claws can't hook the frame." Miao Yi shook her head desperately.

Gu Qi rode his bicycle to the west, encountered many red lights along the way, and it took thirty minutes to ride to the foot of Baoxiang Mountain.

Baoxiang Cemetery full name "Anming City Baoxiang Art Cemetery", covers an area of more than 900 acres, opened has been less than 20 years, the terrain is the three hills that are inverted "product" and together, is in use is the first mountain, the second hill has just been developed, and there are several years to build.

There is only one road leading to the top of Baoxiang Mountain, which can only accommodate three cars in parallel, and ten days have passed since the Qingming Festival, even if someone goes up the mountain to sweep the tomb, it will not be chosen at this point in time, so only Gu Qi's bicycle is driving on the whole road.

The mountain breeze was cool, so Miao Yi closed her eyes, the mountain road was very gloomy, and the prayer master was naturally not afraid of this atmosphere, but after the bicycle drove up the mountain road, they invariably stopped talking, and all they could hear was the "rustling" sound of the leaves rubbing against each other.

The main entrance of the cemetery is richly decorated, there is a large parking lot in front, the gate is closed, and a small door is open next to it for people to enter and exit, and there is a gatehouse in the back, and there are lights inside, but there is no one.

Gu Qi didn't plan to enter from the main entrance, he turned onto the path leading to the side door, which was a circular road driving in an anticlockwise direction, connecting the four gates at the front and back, left and right, and it was generally forbidden for vehicles to notice.

Riding between the main gate and the side door, Gu Qi stopped the car, hid the bicycle in the small forest next to the road, put Miao Yi on the ground, and said, "Okay, let's start looking." ”

"Well, the smell of the soul is strong, and it will take some time." Miao Yi nodded.

But the next moment, it suddenly grinned, narrowed its eyes, and revealed a strange smile.

Seeing this smile, Gu Qi's heart jumped violently, and he thought of the word "trap", and hurriedly looked around, but saw nothing.

He frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Laugh?" Miao Yi put away her weird smile, thought about it blankly, and said angrily: "Laugh at a fart!" You guy who doesn't understand cats, my second olfactory organ is in the roof of the mouth, called Jacobson's organ, and when I use this organ, I will open my mouth, wrinkle my nose, and have a special expression on my face, which is called 'sexual olfactory reflex', also known as 'pheromone reaction', and that's not a laugh! My expression is good, some cats will have a dull face and stiff limbs as soon as they have a sexual olfactory reflex, and lions and tigers will even stick their tongues out like tired dogs, if you can't trust me, why do you want to come with me? ”

"I didn't suspect you for any reason, so I came with you, and your olfactory reflex looked like it was laughing, so I doubted, sorry, you continued." Gu Qi stepped back a few meters, leaned against the wall of the cemetery and lit a cigarette.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the moonlight was not as bright as usual, and the trees on the opposite side of the fence had become tall black shadows, swaying by the wind, as if they were about to come over, Miao Yi's eyes were shining with green light, and if you looked directly, it would make people feel a little dazzling.

About ten minutes later, Miao Yi was in the northwest direction, and said in a deep voice: "Over there, the distance is still very far. ”

Gu Qi also glanced to the northwest, but his view was blocked by the wall, he thought for a while and said, "That should be on the second mountain." ”

"Let's go, what else do you need to prepare?" Miao Yi's expression became stern.

Gu Qi thought about it, raised his right hand, pressed the junction between the back of his hand and his forearm with his thumb, and pressed the scar there into two, last night his arm was scratched by a half-body soul, the wound extended from the elbow to the back of the hand, and passed through the important joint of the wrist, after the scab, the scar became very hard, affecting the movement, and it was no problem to press it like this.

Miao Yi saw that blood was spilling out of the gauze on Gu Qi's wrist again, and she squinted her eyes, knowing the reason why he did this, but she still teased: "You have masochistic tendencies, right?" ”

Gu Qi ignored it, put on his hood, put it on his shoulder again, and walked briskly towards the second mountain, and it took more than ten minutes for him to come to the junction of the two mountains.

There were originally deep ditches here, most of which were filled in, and several temporary aisles were piled out with earth, on which there were many traces of solid tires and tracks, and the second hill is now a huge construction site, and it is said that it is planned to be a tourist cemetery, and a memorial park and a patriotic education base will be set up, and the construction period is still very long.

The trees on the hill have been cut down and are bare, and the construction site is close to the center of the hill, surrounded by blue colored steel tiles, and there is an area full of small mounds of earth next to the site, which resemble graves.

"It's definitely on this mountain, but I can't smell it." Miao Yi's voice was so soft that only Gu Qi could hear it.

"I can only find it, the half-body soul usually crawls with its elbows, and jumps with its hands when it travels quickly, the ground here is relatively soft, and it will leave elbow marks either way, it's up to you." Gu Qi said and walked up to the second mountain.

The earth was dark brown, and he couldn't see any elbow prints by moonlight alone, but cats were different, except that their pupils could dilate to a large extent, and the number of "rod cells" used to sense light in the cat's eyes ranked first among mammals, and their ability to see in the dark was not trivial.
