A group of people walked to several graves, planted incense, burned paper, set off firecrackers, and knelt down.

Zheng Si watched them complete that series of actions, and when they went to the Gu family's old mansion, he followed Jiao Yuan and Xiao Yuzi to the grave.

When the people who went to the grave over there walked back, Zheng Si was also about to leave, but he didn't expect to be seen by a little kid.

Among the group, the little kid seemed very happy after seeing Zheng Si, it is estimated that it is a bit boring to follow his parents and grandfather to the grave here, after all, at his age, he can't understand the mood of the elders to go to the grave, and finally saw a cat, so he was excited, and ran towards this side.

However, before he could run far, he tripped over the large clod of soil under his feet, and when he fell, a gadget in his hand flew towards Zheng Si's side.

The child's mother quickly stepped forward to help the child up and patted him with stains on his body.

"The big is gone." The child didn't cry, but he looked depressed, and raised his empty palm to show his mother.

Big?

Zheng Si looked at the thing that flew over just now, it was a Q version of the local tyrant golden chicken toy, like a key ornament.

From Zheng Si's side to the child's side, there is a ditch in the middle, the ditch is quite wide, about one meter five, there is not much water in the ditch, but there is a lot of mud, and there are some dead grasses next to the ditch, which is more obstructive. If it is a young man with strong athletic ability, it must be easier to cross this ditch, but now there is no one in this group who looks athletic, and the middle-aged man who talked to Jiao's father is wearing a valuable formal suit and stepping on leather shoes, which is very inconvenient. And it looked like the middle-aged man wasn't ready to step over immediately.

"Go ahead. From there, you can go over there, go around and pick it up. The middle-aged man said.

The child didn't pay attention to his father's words. Pushing away his mother's hand, he pointed to Zheng Si on the other side of the ditch and shouted, "Cat! ”

"Yes. That's a cat. The child's mother thought that the child was just recognizing things, and praised.

"Cats!"

"Yes, a big black cat." The child's mother patted the dust off the child's pants and prepared to lead him away.

Throwing off his mother's hand again, the child pointed to Zheng Si on the other side of the ditch and shouted: "The cat throws it over~ Let the cat throw it over~"

"The cat can't be thrown away, will I let Dad pick it up for you later?" The child's mother patiently explained.

"Let the cat throw ~"

"Cats can't throw ......"

Before the child's mother could finish the word "throw", she heard a soft snap. The Q version of the little rooster that reflected the golden light in the sunlight fell to the ground next to her.

Mother of the child: "......"

The child didn't have as many tangled emotions as his mother, and happily picked up the golden rooster on the ground. After trying one of the buttons on it, the golden rooster immediately made a rooster crowing sound. It's not bad, it's good. So, the child grinned and smiled quite happily.

Zheng Si didn't plan to pay attention to them just now, but when he saw the child like that, after thinking about it, he still fished the golden rooster toy to his side, and threw it over with a hook of his paws. It's not too out of place to throw a gadget, is it?

Zheng Si flicked his tail and left without looking at them again.

"The cat...... Was it raised by the family we saw on the highway? The old man looked at the black cat running away. Wondered.

"Isn't it? There are many people who have cats here, and now that people are open-minded, there are many such black cats, and some people even think that this kind of black cat is auspicious. I went to buy this pure black cat. The child's mother said.

Although it felt a little weird, the old man and the middle-aged man didn't talk much about this topic.

According to Jiao's father's plan, he will stay here for the fifteenth year and then return to Chuhua City. And that grandma has a word first, so. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jiao's father took Zheng Si to find her.

It's still a little far away. Zheng Si heard the sound of pulling the erhu from the place where the grandmother lived.

Zheng Si doesn't know how to appreciate music, and he doesn't like to listen to erhu very much, but listening to this sound at this time, he always feels a sense of indescribable vicissitudes.

When Jiao's father pushed open the fence door and walked into the yard, Zheng Si saw the grandmother sitting on a chair by the door in the house and pulling the erhu. At this age, I didn't expect the erhu to be able to pull so smoothly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, Zheng Si would definitely think that this old woman had invited someone to come and pull it.

Dad Jiao didn't interrupt Abora Erhu, and found a place to sit down first.

Zheng Si looked around, the three-legged tortoiseshell cat was lying on a wooden chair in the house, fatter than when Zheng Si first saw it, squinting there as if it was napping, but its ears twitched with the tone of the erhu. There are a lot of New Year's gifts piled up on the desk in the house, and it seems that there are many people who visit this old woman during the Chinese New Year.

After the song was played, Grandma put the erhu aside and said to Jiao's father, "It's here." ”

"Well, I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning, so I'm going to come to you today." Jiao's father said.

The old woman didn't say much, her eyes turned to Zheng Si, and she saw that Zheng Si's heart began to furnish again.

"Black cat, come here." The old woman beckoned to Zheng Si.

Zheng sighed hesitantly, looked at Jiao's father, then at the old woman in front of him, and pulled his ears. Forget it, the past is over, anyway, Jiao's father is here, this old woman shouldn't do anything that everyone is angry about.

When Zheng Si approached, the old woman patted her leg and motioned for Zheng Si to jump up.

This time, Zheng Si didn't think about it for too long, and jumped on her lap after a pause.

The old woman put her hand into her pocket, digging, digging, and took out a jade pendant, on which there are words written in seals, Zheng Si only knows one of the "yang" words, and he is not 100% sure whether it is "yang", he has not studied seal calligraphy, but he has seen some by coincidence, most of them do not remember.

The lanyard of the pendant was re-changed and woven into a small loop, just enough to fit around Zheng Si's neck.

After setting it up, the old woman looked at Jiao's father and said, "Let it help me save this thing, okay?" ”

Zheng Si tugged at his ears again. You've got it all.,There's a fart to ask for advice now?

Jiao's father was puzzled. Even if this jade doesn't look like hundreds of thousands, it is definitely not comparable to something that costs tens or hundreds of dollars. But. What does it mean for grandma to give a cat something so important? People who don't know will definitely think that this person must be crazy.

"I'm just asking you guys to help save it, if. One day, you see a man wearing a jade plaque like this. Just tell me. My biggest wish is to see my relatives before I leave, but unfortunately, I don't even know if they are still there. The old woman sighed, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Jiao's father: "Can you help with this favor?" ”

Jiao's father: "......" You have also set this jade card, and you have said it, and only now have you asked me if I can help with this favor?"

"Help, this favor will definitely help." Dad Jiao nodded, and said, "But." You are such a precious jade plate, it seems inappropriate to put my cat, my cat likes to run around, what if I accidentally lose it? ”

"That's it," the old woman took down the jade plate around Zheng Si's neck and handed it to Jiao's father, "Then you can help collect it first, and then give it to me at this time next year." ”

Zheng Si, Jiao's father: "......" always feels that this old woman is unreliable in doing things, inexplicable.

"But Grandma. I'm going abroad this year, and I won't be back this time next year. Jiao's father explained.

"Then push it back. You're not going to settle abroad and not come back, are you? Grandma asked nervously.

"No, it won't." Jiao's father affirmed. However, he was not sure that when he came back again, the grandmother in front of him would still be there. After all, according to some old people in the village, Grandma is already quite old.

"That'll do." The old woman waved her hand, and saw that Jiao's father wanted to speak and stopped. said: "Don't worry, don't say more." I can still live after three years of old wife. ”

Jiao's father, who was said to be thinking in the center, coughed embarrassedly and quietly listened to Grandma's next words.

Grandma came to this village more than 40 years ago, I heard that she was a refugee, at that time most of the country was very difficult, Grandma found a place to live in the village alone, and after recuperating from her illness, she has been living in the village ever since.

"I tried a lot of methods in the early years, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find them, and for a while I didn't even give up hope, alas. If I can't find anyone, this jade plaque will be worthless to me. Grandma sighed.

Zheng Si muttered in his heart, since he didn't have hope, why did he find himself and the Jiao family? It's been more than 40 years, who remembers you? Moreover, isn't this old woman a goddess? Can't you do the math yourself?

Thinking about it, Zheng Si glanced at the old woman, and happened to meet the meaningful eyes that the other party looked at. Suddenly, Zheng sighed in his heart, can the paralyzed old woman see what the cat is thinking?

Some people say, this person, when he gets older, either the more he lives, the more confused he becomes, or the more he lives, the more shrewd he becomes. Zheng Si's feeling was that the old woman in front of her was pretending to be confused.

Jiao's father was thinking about things, and he didn't notice Zheng Si's small movements, and said: "In recent years, the Internet has gradually emerged, and you can use many channels to find people." ”

Grandma waved her hand, "Forget it, it's fate to not find it, I can't ask for it." ”

Zheng Si patiently listened to the old woman's chatter before walking out of the yard with Jiao's father. The old woman is really very good at pulling it, and once she pulls it up, she can inadvertently deviate from the topic, and then inadvertently go back around.

What to do with the jade plate given by the old woman, Zheng Si is too lazy to care, then leave it to Jiao's father, he is just a cat now, just eat and sleep well and don't have anything to do.

Early in the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the four members of the Jiao family and one cat drove out of the village.

It didn't take long to drive before I saw the familiar BMW emerge from the fork.

Originally, Jiao's father didn't plan to stop and say hello, but he didn't expect that there was a traffic jam on the wide road in front of him, and this time the two cars stopped next to each other and the windows were open.

"See you again."

"yes, it's fate."

Jiao's father greeted the other party with a smile and took the business card that the other party took the initiative to hand.

Zheng Xuan, general manager of a company in Nanhua City.

If the time he went to the grave was just a suspicion, this time Zheng Xuan was sure that the black cat who was calmly looking at him from the car window at the moment was the one they met when they went to the grave.

Zheng Xuan believes in fate, but he doesn't believe in fate easily, and the businessman's suspicion and caution make him have to do this. But as long as you feel that this fate does exist, the attitude is different. (To be continued......)
