Chapter 1 Picking up a cat on the side of the road

Next Chapter

The day of my mother's funeral was July 15.

Qin Sisi's eyes were red, and he slowly walked out of the funeral home, his steps a little vain.

The gate of the funeral parlor is very large, but there are few people, and the pedestrians passing by are in a hurry, as if walking slowly may be contaminated with the cold atmosphere here.

Qin Sisi glanced back, it was already past the summer heat at this time, but the weather was still a little stuffy, but the building in front of him with a special role made people can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

This is Qin Sisi's second visit to the funeral home, and the first time his father was killed in a car accident ten years ago.

Goodbye, Mom and Dad. From then on, I was left alone.

Qin Sisi said silently in his heart, turned around and walked forward, his thin back was extremely lonely in the evening afterglow.

Qin Sisi's hometown is in a relatively remote town, she works in S City, because of her mother's illness, she has often asked for leave recently, and her boss has obviously been a little dissatisfied, so Qin Sisi decided to rush back to S City tonight and start work tomorrow. And, keep yourself busy, maybe you won't think about it so much!

Qin Sisi sighed faintly, raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, his heart was as gloomy as the sky.

After more than two hours of riding on the bus, when he arrived at S City, Qin Sisi found that it was raining in the sky, dripping, as if it would not stop.

Without an umbrella, Qin Sisi could only walk on the street in the rain, his thin clothes were quickly wet, although the solar calendar was not yet September, but it was late, and because of the weather, a cool breeze blew, making people shiver with cold.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the long hair was wet and draped on his back, which was very uncomfortable, Qin Sisi finally compromised, found a wider eaves and stopped, planning to wait for the rain to be lighter before leaving.

Qin Sisi stood under the eaves, hugging her shoulders tightly, wanting to give herself a little warmth, but the cool breeze that kept hitting made her feel more and more cold. The long cotton skirt was glued to his body, and a few strands of soaked hair hung down on his forehead.

Qin Sisi bit her lip. I must be embarrassed now, right? But what does it matter? No one will feel sorry for me anymore, right?

Thinking in my heart, my nose was sore, and I was about to cry again.

"Meow ......"

Just as Qin Sisi was thinking wildly, a weak cat meow came into his ears.

Qin Sisi was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a cat lying in a corner three or four meters away from her, its body shrunk into a ball, but its head was slightly raised, as if it was also looking at her when she looked at it. Even on a dim rainy night, Qin Sisi could see its jewel-like eyes, shining with dazzling light.

Qin Sisi's heart moved, and he walked in front of the cat, and then squatted down to look at it carefully.

The light on the side of the road shone over, and Qin Sisi saw clearly that it was a black cat, its whole body was like ink, without a trace of other colors, although it was curled up in the corner, its hair was clean and shiny! Probably because of the cold weather, its fleshy and fluffy body was trembling slightly.

Qin Sisi couldn't help but feel a little pity, and couldn't help but raise his hand and caress it a few times, the black fur was actually as smooth as satin.

Little black cat, why didn't you come home? Don't you have a home at all, just like me?

Qin Sisi stretched out his two hands and carefully hugged the black cat in his arms, one person and one cat snuggled together, and there was actually a trace of warmth.

A kind and soft feeling arose spontaneously in the bottom of his heart, Qin Sisi whispered softly: "You are also homeless, then go back with me!"

The black cat snuggled obediently in Qin Sisi's arms, and gently "meowed", as if she understood her words, her beard curled slightly, and she seemed to smile in a trance.

Qin Sisi was stunned for a moment, blinked vigorously, looked at the little black cat in his arms, and hooked the corners of his lips helplessly, he was really stupid, how could a cat laugh?

Although Qin Sisi's shallow smile was a little bitter, this was the first time she had smiled in these days, but unfortunately, her face soon returned to her previous loss and sadness.

"I heard that black cats are unlucky, it's okay, I'm also unlucky, we are together, maybe we will be negative. ”

Qin Sisi muttered to himself in his heart.

After her father died in a car accident, I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that Qin Sisi's life was too hard, and her father was killed by her. Mom didn't believe in this, and loved her and protected her as always, but some relatives were the same, intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from their mother and daughter.

This time, my mother fell ill and died, and rumors spread again.

Look, that girl's life is too hard, she killed her father ten years ago, and now she has killed her mother too.

Qin Sisi rubbed his eyes, looked up, and found that the rain didn't know when it had stopped.

Qin Sisi walked out of the eaves with the cat in his arms, and could only feel the rain that seemed to be there, but the wind was still very cold, Qin Sisi tightened his arms and walked quickly in the direction of his rental house.

Qin Sisi rented a small room in an old community, because it is the sixth floor of the top floor, so the rent is relatively cheaper, although it is still a little more expensive than the tube building, but fortunately, there is an independent kitchen and bathroom.

Qin Sisi likes to be quiet, and the thought of sharing the kitchen and bathroom with a group of people can't help but go crazy, so he would rather pay a little more rent to have a quiet heart. However, if you get it, you will pay, pay the rent every month, and then remove all kinds of necessary expenses, there is very little money left, Qin Sisi can only try to live frugally.

When he was about to walk to the door of the community, a gust of cold wind struck, Qin Sisi shuddered, his arms tightened, looking at the holly bushes that were swaying not far away, he felt a little strange in his heart, how could this wind be cold and gloomy, as if it was cold to the bones all of a sudden.

Just thinking about it, suddenly with a "meow", the black cat suddenly broke free from Qin Sisi's arms, and ran in the direction of the holly bushes lightly and quickly, before Qin Sisi could react, the black cat had already burrowed into the bushes, and he couldn't even see the shadow.

"Hey, little kitten!" Qin Sisi was taken aback, and chased after him at a trot, carefully picking up the bushes with his hands to find the strange black cat, and suddenly there was a trance in front of him, and a dark purple light was silently scattered from the bushes.

Qin Sisi subconsciously hurriedly raised his hand to block his forehead, his eyes were still illuminated by the strange light and lost focus, only a blur was left in front of him, a feeling of dizziness suddenly hit, Qin Sisi shook a few times, and slowly fell to the ground holding a small tree beside him.
