Chapter 78: Meow

Chen Beibei heard the news that the child had woken up on the morning of the third day.

When walking by the river, the women who were washing clothes in Qinghe Town said.

They said that the children in Zhao Tiezhu's cousin's family had come back to life.

They said it was a strange Taoist priest who saved the child.

They also said that when the children woke up, their expressions were demented, and they always said that they saw cats in the house.

Help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west.

Chen Beibei decided to go to the child's house again.

"Quick, that master is here again......"

This is what the child's mother said to the child's father after seeing Chen Beibei.

The child's father hurriedly ran in front of Chen Beibei, "Master, come and see my child." ”

The child's father stretched out his hand to help Chen Beibei, but when he was about to touch Chen Beibei's clothes, he immediately retracted his hand.

It seems that he is afraid that his hands will stain Chen Beibei's clothes.

However, Chen Beibei's clothes were originally very dirty, because he felt that if he was dirty, he would be more like that kind of wandering half-immortal.

"Are your children awake?" Chen Beibei asked.

"Well, thanks to that fairy talisman of yours, our son has only picked up a life, which is...... It is...... Now I'm a little demented, as if I'm mentally ill......"

The man replied.

"Where are your children now?"

"...... in the bedroom"

Chen Beibei walked in, and both women and men followed him respectfully.

A black cat jumped out of the window the moment Chen Beibei opened the door.

Chen Beibei saw the child squatting on the bed, holding his legs, his head resting on his knees, his eyes were distracted......

"Master, how is it ......?"

The man asked in a whisper.

It stands to reason that Chen Beibei's talisman has already woken up the child.

Then the condition should be better, right?

Now that such a scene has appeared, Chen Beibei can't think of a good way for the time being.

Chen Beibei shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.

The eyes of the couple dimmed suddenly.

Chen Beibei couldn't solve it for the time being, and planned to leave.

However, the couple insisted on getting the wine and food and letting Chen Beibei finish eating before leaving.

After all, it was Chen Beibei who woke up their son.

During the banquet, he thanked him thousands of times.

Chen Beibei doesn't like to drink, but he also drank some.

The man drank heavily while urging him to drink.

"You drink less...... Wait a minute, and get drunk ......."

The woman whispered.

Obviously, the man is begging to get drunk and use alcohol to kill his sorrows.

In front of Chen Beibei, the couple also forced a smile.

After all, their children are still demented.

The sky was getting dark, and a first quarter moon hung in the sky outside the window.

The man was still drinking, and the woman was thinking about something with a slightly sad expression.

"I've eaten well......"

Eating in such an atmosphere, Chen Beibei really has no appetite.

But there is indeed a feeling of fullness in the stomach.

When Chen Beibei got up, he saw through the window that there was a pair of eyes looking at him on the trees outside.

The moonlight dimmed, Chen Beibei slowly walked to the window, and a black shadow jumped down from the branch and disappeared......

"What's wrong?"

The woman walked up to Chen Beibei's side and asked softly.

Be...... Cat bar......?

When they first met the mother and son, it was a black cat who followed them.

At the funeral, too......

Is there any reason for this?

"Have you done anything lately that you shouldn't have done?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Whew...... Whew......"

The man had drunk so much that he had fallen asleep on the table.

"...... about cats"

Chen Beibei added.

The woman fell into deep thought, and then her face became solemn.

"Have done ......"

"What's going on?"

"Last month, our cat gave birth to four kittens. We gave the kittens out......"

"Did you just send it out?"

"Nobody wants kittens, but we don't need five cats either. So...... So we put the kittens in cardboard boxes and put them on the hill......"

Such things often occur in Chen Beibei's hometown.

A family only needs one cat, and it's useless to keep more.

Therefore, after giving birth to a kitten, if you can't give it away, you will choose to throw it away.

This is a very normal thing......

"Is that all?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Hmm."

"Take me there."

Chen Beibei still wanted to recover the little child, so he planned to take a look.

The woman shook the man, who was already very drunk and did not wake up.

Chen Beibei had no choice but to walk up the mountain with the woman.

"Smack......

As soon as they were out the door, there was a crunch in the room.

It was the drunk man who slammed the glass to the ground......

The woman's expression has always been a little embarrassed, as if she has something to say to Chen Beibei.

But it has not been spoken.

In the dark night, the two of them walked silently, and the noisy insects and frogs sounded in their ears.

In the woods, from time to time, some small green dots of light flickered.

In such a place, there are still many fireflies in the summer.

Soon, the woman took Chen Beibei to find the box with the kitten.

Chen Beibei squatted down and opened the carton.

"Meow ......"

A plaintive cry rang out, and I don't know where it came from.

In the cardboard box, there are four kittens, shriveled corpses.

Small, small......

"It's our fault......"

The woman finally spoke up.

Chen Beibei knew why those cats died.

These cats are still too small, and it is estimated that they were thrown away after a few days of birth.

Although the kittens in Chen Beibei's hometown will also be discarded, those are things that will only be faced more than a month after the kittens are born.

At that time, the kitten was already capable of surviving on its own......

For such a thing, Chen Beibei can't make any evaluation.

After all, everyone has their own life and their own ideas.

All Chen Beibei can do is in his heart, hoping that there will be fewer such things.

"Bury these kittens......"

Chen Beibei said.

When the woman was about to walk over and pick up the cardboard box, her foot seemed to step on something.

The woman leaned over and saw that it was a black cat, with a broken leg, already dead.

That's her cat......

I don't know why this happened, but the reason doesn't matter anymore.

She felt that they had done something wrong, and now she had to bury the cat's carcass.

The woman buried the five cats together, and then erected a stone tablet without words.

It was late at night, and Chen Beibei returned to his home.

The woman invited the monk from the Sparrow Temple the next day.

The monk went to see her child and the grave, and since then, her child has returned to normal.

It's just that on a hill next to the cherry blossom city, a very small wordless stone tablet tomb was left forever.
