Chapter Seventy-Nine: An Inspiration
After a short time, the four of them walked to the alley where Femojia's house was. This alley is actually a dead end, somewhat remote, as far as the eye can see, in the cramped and dim alley, on one side is a mottled wall, on the other, a row of low slab houses, it seems that there is no bottom of it.
Femogar's home, however, was deep in the alley, near the end. The four of them stepped on the uneven narrow stone road, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, suddenly, something at the foot jumped quickly, Qi Fuyan "ah" let out a low voice, and the burden in his hand swayed and rolled to the ground, and a snow-white hot meat bun inside rolled straight to the front from the gap in the baggage.
The four of them hurriedly took a look, but they were two wild cats, one black and one flower. The two cats ran a few steps, the black cat grabbed the rolling bun in one bite, turned around and stared at the two flashing eyes like bright lights, and looked at the four people who stopped in amazement as if demonstratively, and then greeted their companions in a hurry, and the two cats disappeared into the depths of the alley briskly and quickly with one step after the other.
It turned out that because this place was remote, wild dogs and wild cats gradually gathered, and after getting along with people day and night, they gradually no longer feared humans, and some were bold, and even openly snatched food from people.
There were only two wild cats, and they had already smelled the smell of meat in the baggage on the hands of the four people. After quietly following the road for a while, he felt that the time had come, and the cat suddenly accelerated and pounced on Qi Fuyan's burden. Qi Fuyan was defenseless, and as soon as he was pounced by the cat, the burden fell off, and the cat had already taken advantage of the situation.
By the time the four of them reacted, the cat had already run away. Qi Fuyan couldn't help but burst into foul language, and after a few steps forward, he hurriedly picked up the burden on the ground and hugged it to his chest, for fear that another uninvited guest would come and snatch his full stomach away.
This has become a tricky killer, catch Lao Tzu and peel off its skin! Qi Fuyan still hated and hated, and looked around vigilantly after taking a few steps. Duochai and Zan Youdi laughed, saying that the cat was fast and dexterous, and it really wanted to snatch your bun, and you couldn't even catch its shadow, and in the end you had to stare dryly, in vain.
Feng Liang's brain flashed, and the whole person froze. The three of them chatted and talked, and walked forward for more than ten steps, only to find that Feng Liang did not follow, and when he looked back, he saw that he was stunned on the spot, standing still. The three of them saw him dumbfounded, but they didn't know why, and were about to turn around and ask what was going on, but they heard Feng Liang burst out a word without a head: "Cat!" ”
The hour had passed, and it was dark. In the inner room of Femoga's house, the light of a candle was faintly dim, swaying and writhing. The room was silent, except for the sound of gentle chewing one after another.
Duochai and Zan Youdi also ate most of their fill, and were slowly drinking water. Femojia had already dressed and sat next to his mother-in-law, eating steamed buns. Qi Fuyan sat on the ground with his legs crossed, one in each hand, still chewing in his mouth, and on the ground between his legs, several lotus leaf burdens were scattered there.
Feng Liang's stomach was full, and now he sat on the chair, closing his eyes and pondering. At his feet, next to him, lay four animals with their paws bound and gagged, and when they looked closely, they were four wild cats of different sizes, writhing in vain, raising their heads and struggling.
Just now, Feng Liang saw that the wild cat stealing food was agile and fast, and his heart couldn't help but move. He had the idea of using the feral cat's ability to move at night and set fire to the granary. So he hurriedly explained to the three of them, and the four of them spent half an hour, using only two buns, and caught the four wild cats with live ropes.
Feng Liang thought for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "Come here, let's discuss and discuss." Duochai and Zan Youdi had already eaten and drunk enough, so the three of them looked at Qi Fuyan, who was still chattering. Qi Fuyan held the bun in his mouth, took one in one hand, and saw that the buns on the ground were gone, so he stood up and walked over.
Eating didn't delay his ears, Feng Liang didn't care about him, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, cheered up and said: "Let's talk about how to use a cat to set this fire." ”
The four heads came together and whispered in the west side of the room. Mr. and Mrs. Fei Mojia sat on the edge of the bed at the east end, only the feeling of fullness in their stomachs conveyed a little warmth to them.
Fei Mojia sat on the outside of the woman, as if he was having a nightmare, he had fought with Shangguan very much, and it was rare to be approved to rotate on duty, and he could go home to rest for two days, which was good, he was very annoyed in his heart, he knew that he had encountered such an unwarranted disaster, and he was willing to go up to the city tower to be on duty for ten days without sleep.
There should be no problem with personal safety. Since this group of people is willing to give food, they must not come to harm his life again. Fortunately, I met a group of thieves with a clear conscience. Looking at the situation, most of them are fine works sent by the Han people in the north, but recently I heard that Chengguo in the south is also a little nervous. Alas, being a big leader is not such a good thing. Fei Mojia thought to himself, and his mind was like a tiny candle flame that jumped and flickered.
Here, everyone expressed their admiration for Feng Liang's idea of using a wild cat to set fire. But when it comes to reality, some people say that the torch is tied to the cat's leg, and some people immediately retort that the torch is too big to tie and that the torch is small and will not work, saying that this is purely a matter of course.
Someone said that the torch should be tied horizontally to the cat's mouth, and this proposal was also rejected. A fire is burning in front of his eyes, and according to the cat's cautious and subtle temperament, he must be half frightened to death, and he must get rid of this terrible thing in his mouth no matter what, where will he run.
At this time, Zan Youdi changed his mind and said, if you just pour oil all over the cat's body, light the fire outside the granary, and then quickly throw the cat in, the cat will be on fire all over, and it will definitely jump around, then the whole granary can be ignited.
Everyone was silent for a while, and in their own thoughts, they all felt that this idea was still desirable. Qi Fuyan hiccuped and said, "The solution is not bad, but there is still something wrong." ”
Zan Youdi's head was in front of Qi Fuyan, and he was so smuggled by Qi Fuyan that he almost fainted. He hurriedly avoided his head, resisted the desire to gause, frowned and said with disgust: "Damn...... Why do you think it's wrong? ”
Qi Fuyan saw that Zan Youdi couldn't wait to jump away, and the virtue that he had smoked by himself, he couldn't help but smile complacently, and said unhurriedly: "Lao Tzu's fairy breath is cheap for you kid." What do you say, why is it not appropriate? ”
He looked back and forth, and saw Feng Liang and Duochai looking at him puzzled, so he spread his hands and said: "How big is this cat, if you pour oil all over your body and light a fire, then drink a glass of water, this cat will have to burn and can't walk, and if you can't drink a bowl of porridge, you will have to burn to death." When the time comes, it doesn't take two steps and it doesn't move, how can you expect the cat to jump around and start a fire? ”
His round and large flat face, a pair of small mung bean eyes, the candle flame flickered. He smiled coldly, "According to me, in this way, just knot the clothes into a cloth rope three or four feet long, thicker." Then soak it in oil until it is damp and then tethered to the cat's tail. ”
"When he got to the barn, he lit the strip of cloth and threw the cat along the wall, one by one, one on the east, west, north and south. The cat's buttocks caught fire at the back, and it ran like crazy, and the cloth rope dripped the oil from the fire all the way. ”
