Chapter 41: The Cat Meows at Night
The ghost said casually, seeing that the vermilion in the sparks had changed, the ghost smiled and hurriedly explained: "It's good to have them."
The ghost ghost pointed to Gu Yan and Li Yixin, and explained: "It is your responsibility to protect them, because you can't help if you go."
Zhu Wen's face became even more ugly after hearing this, could it be that Zhu Wen is so timid? It's that useless?
Zhu Wen was about to argue a few words, and Gu Yan asked: "Why don't you go with the tattoo, he is much better than me."
The words of the ancient sayings were full of sincerity and worship, and Zhu Wen was excited when he heard the ancient sayings say this, and he rubbed his hands and was eager to try.
"I know he's great."
The ghost man spoke, looked at the tent again, and said, "The fat man doesn't know what to eat, Yang Erwa has no other specialties, Yang Eldest Sister is a girl after all, she can't do anything, she still has to rely on you to protect them."
"Then Yixin and I can't follow you?"
Zhu Wen asked unwillingly, if Gu Yan stole his limelight again, then what should he use to win Li Yixin's favor? Their relationship is just a little better, and he doesn't want the girl he loves to miss his rival anymore.
"They have a baby, do you have one?"
The ghost ghost was a little annoyed by the vermilion pattern, and asked impatiently, the vermilion was swallowed speechless and lowered his head, and after two seconds, he suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
"I sued him."
Gu Yan replied, Li Yixin had the same doubts as Zhu Wen, and Gu Yan said: "I think the ghost is a good person, not a bad person, so I will sue him for everything."
After the ancient saying was finished, Zhu Wen was speechless, lowered his head, and hated iron in his heart, what if this ghost was not a good person and snatched the bronze mirror? But thinking that only Gu Yan and Li Yixin could take the vermilion pattern in the bronze mirror, he smiled bitterly at his nosy, so he raised his head and said sincerely: "Then I will stay here, Gu Yan please protect Yixin."
Gu Yan smiled lightly, nodded and replied, "That's natural, I've always treated Yixin as a sister, of course I have to protect her."
Li Yixin was sad in his heart, and he didn't speak, just quietly listened to the ancient sayings and ghosts, Zhu Wen looked at Li Yixin and didn't say anything.
The night was quiet and so was them down the hill.
Wait until late at night to catch those pesky cats.
Small talk, napping, walking in place, grilling fire, grilling fish
I finally managed to stay up until the early hours of the morning.
Li Yixin's eyes were very painful, and she couldn't hold them up, she narrowed her eyes into a line and tried not to fall asleep, rubbed her eyes, put her heavy head on her knees and took a nap, and her hands hung there without strength.
Oniko stuck the peachwood sword in the clothes behind his back, and then pulled out the wood that had not yet been burned to the side and blew it out, and the fish bones and grilled fish were separated into two piles and placed in the same place as last night.
Gu Yan helped bring more firewood over, and the size was divided into two piles. Zhu Wen secretly fell asleep there again, but the ghost ghost did not wake him up, nor did he wake up Li Yixin, who seemed to be asleep. Looking up at the sky, the moon tonight was much rounder and brighter than last night.
"Do you need ropes?"
Gu Yan asked softly, and after carrying the firewood here, he sat down next to the ghost, and the ghost shook his head and said: "It's useless to tie them up, I don't know how many cats are here, look at the fish and bones they stole last night without a sound, I think there are still a lot of cats."
"How are you so sure it's a cat?"
"It's not far from Maoling Mountain, and it's also called Maoling Mountain, of course, there are a lot of cats, as the name suggests." The ghost man glanced at Gu Yan and felt that he was a little too much to ask.
"How far is Maoling Mountain from here?"
It's better to ask when you don't help, in case the ghost catches the cat and is silent like when he first appeared, then wouldn't it be in vain for the past two days.
The ghost ghost didn't think about what Gu Yan thought in his heart, but replied: "Actually, I don't know, the old ghost said that this is even the boundary of Maoling Mountain, I think it's okay to go along the stream, so that you can have water to drink and catch some fish to eat." There will be a house under the stream, this is what the old ghost told me. β
Gu Yan felt that what the ghost man said was quite reasonable, so he nodded, paused for a while and asked, "The ghost ghost should not be your name, right?"
"This is just one of my numbers, used to deceive people." Gu Yan was a little puzzled, but the ghost smiled and said, "My real name doesn't matter, you just need to know that my name is the ghost ghost, and the ghost is me."
The old saying still does not understand why he said that his name is a liar, is he a liar?
The ghost man looked at Gu Yan's puzzled look, smiled again, and said, "You'll know when you catch the cat tonight."
Gu Yan still didn't understand, only heard the ghost say: "I hope tonight is good, I don't want to stay in this place where birds don't poop and cats don't lay eggs."
After speaking, he woke up Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen woke up, the ghost pointed at Li Yixin, Zhu Wen walked over and woke Li Yixin up, Li Yixin's head was groggy, her eyes couldn't be opened, and she was still rubbing her eyes when she stood up.
"Li Yixin, wait until tomorrow to sleep. There's something to do tonight, you go and wake those two girls up. β
After the ghost ghost finished speaking to Li Yixin, he instructed Zhu Wen: "You go and wake up those two people, tell them to stay by the fire and not run around." When we go after the cat, you will burn the fire as hard as possible. Cats are afraid of the fire burning them, so naturally they dare not come near you, and if they come you will burn them with fire, and it is best to burn them to death. β
"Isn't that cruel?"
Li Yi woke up in horror and couldn't bear it, the ghost ghost smiled and said: "Everything has a degree, and exceeding that limit is a disaster, and the same is true for cats, besides, this place is so close to Maoling Mountain" The ghost ghost listened for a while, and continued in a cold tone: "What if these cats really become monsters? β
Li Yixin naturally understands this truth that when the water is full, it overflows, although she thinks that those cats are very pitiful, but she is afraid that they will really come out to do bad things, so she has to feel sad and entangled, and slowly walked over to wake up Jin Ling and Yang Damei.
Li Yixin walked to the tent on the left, and Zhu Wen walked to the tent on the right.
Gu Yan watched them walk over, and the ghost beckoned to him and said, "Come here, I'll tell you what to do"
Gu Yan approached the ghost's ear, and after a while, the ghost left everyone and hid.
The night was very good, and everyone was very sleepy, especially Li Yixin.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, the meow of a cat can be faintly heard.
"Meowβ"
"Meowβ"
"Ahh
"Uh-huh-"
From far and near, it seems to be walking towards here.
