My name is Su Jiu, I am 21 years old and I am a senior in the Department of Clinical Medicine.

Since I entered the school, I have not been home once.

It's not that I don't want to go back, it's that I can't go back because I have a home.

This matter began more than 20 years ago.

When there was a flood in '98, my mother became pregnant with me, which became a sensational event in Anhe Village. It's not strange to be pregnant, but it's strange that not long after my mother got married, the man died in an accident. When my mother conceived me, she had been widowed for three years. Obviously, this kid is unsightly.

After repeatedly unsuccessfully questioning the child's father, the village chief took advantage of my grandfather's time to go out and led a few people to soak my mother in a pig cage, and took me in her belly for seven months.

When my grandfather heard the news, he rushed back and called a few relatives to salvage along the lower reaches of the river for three days before finally finding my mother's body.

The corpse had long been soaked and swollen, and it was unrecognizable. The body is covered with three long scratches. Especially in the belly, the flesh is flying.

The scar was weird, like a cat scratch. But where did the cats come from in this river?

Although he was puzzled, my grandfather was so sad at the time that he just wanted to let my mother go to the ground as soon as possible. On the way back to the village, relatives who carried the body noticed something unusual.

"I'm not dazzled, am I? Just her belly ......"

Before the relatives who helped finished speaking, a puddle of water came out from under my mother, accompanied by a trace of blood.

The amniotic water broke.

How can the child in the belly survive after three days of death, and several relatives were so frightened that they left my mother's body and ran away.

Grandpa was also afraid, but after all, it was his own daughter, and he had the courage to cut Li Wenxiu's belly open, and actually took out a live baby girl.

That baby girl is me.

In the eyes of the villagers, I was a monster who should not have been born, but in my grandfather's heart, I was all he had after losing his beloved daughter. Even my name was specially calculated by him.

In Feng Shui, ten is the number of fullness, the extreme of things must be reversed, and the extreme prosperity must decline, and nine is the closest to ten, which is the number of the supreme and can prosper for a long time.

To put it bluntly, this name is hard and can live a long life.

But who would have thought that the night I came home, I would almost die.

That night, a black cat slipped in through the window and jumped into bed.

After circling around me twice, hold my neck with both front paws!

I was just a newborn child, and I didn't even have the strength to struggle, and I screamed in a hoarse voice, and finally woke up my grandfather on the side.

"Brute, get out of here!"

My grandfather tore off the black cat and took me into his arms in shock.

The cat escaped through the window, but I was left with two deep cat paw prints on my neck, which could not be erased.

The next day, my grandfather brought back a dark red wooden bead and a small black bottle from outside.

The beads were strung and hung around my neck, and the juice from the black bottle smeared on the marks on my neck. Seven days later, the mark was gone. I haven't seen the cat since. But I'm afraid of the cat's problem, so it's falling. No matter how cute the cat is, I will keep a distance of three meters from it.

Every time I grew up, my grandfather would add an identical bead to the string. Later, there were more beads, so I put them on my hand.

I don't know what kind of wood these beads are made of, but they have a faint fragrance and smell very reassuring.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you can't take the bracelet off, it will keep you safe until you are eighteen."

When I was younger, I couldn't understand it, but when I was older, I would ask my grandfather, "What about after the age of eighteen?" ”

Every time, my grandfather was silent with his brows furrowed, just smoking the dry cigarette in his hand.

After the college entrance examination, my eighteenth birthday is getting closer and closer. One night, in a daze, I vaguely heard a strange cat meow outside.

The cry was hoarse and poignant, like a roar with rage, tactful and long.

It's not like I've never heard a cat meow, but this is the first time I've heard such a strange meow. My intuition tells me that it was the black cat that almost killed me when I was a child!

I woke up and wanted to call my grandfather. I found that my body couldn't move, and my throat couldn't make any sound. But the blood in my whole body seemed to be boiling, and it was rampaging through me. Large beads of sweat dripped down my body and soaked through the sheets and quilts.

There was a loud banging sound on the window, and I looked out of the corner of my eye to see a cat figure slamming into the window. In a few moments, the wind poured in.

A pitch-black cat's paw came through the crack, and I shuddered and closed my eyes, thinking that I was going to die.

At this moment, there was a burning sensation in my hand, and a blinding white light shone from it. I couldn't see anything, but I could feel a large, gentle hand gently caressing my hair.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The man's voice was unfamiliar and deep, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. In just a few words, I feel a lot more at ease.

Two seconds later, I was able to react.

No, how can there be a man in my room?!

"Who are you?!"

The white light faded, and I sat up from the bed abruptly, only to find that the room was empty and there was no one.

Even the black cat is gone!

Don't...... Just ...... everything Was it my dream?

I'm not sure.

But I was so frightened that I lost my sleepiness, and after locking the window again, I ran to my grandfather's room and told him about my dream of a black cat.

My grandfather didn't even wear shoes, so he went outside with a flashlight and stared at the deep paw prints on the window of my room.

That's when I realized that everything that had just happened was true. I can't imagine if that black cat had come into my room, I would have survived.

This night, my grandfather smoked a cigarette in the living room all night, and I also absentmindedly curled up on the sofa and watched TV all night.

The next day, my grandfather went out with my bracelet.

Not long after, I received an admission letter from Huainan Medical University. My grandfather has always been in poor health, I have been determined to be a doctor since I was a child, and now I am finally one step closer to my dream, and the haze of last night is suddenly swept away, and I can't wait to share this joy with my grandfather.

After waiting for more than two hours, my grandfather staggered back. His face was very pale and he kept coughing.

I hurriedly went up to support my grandfather: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

"I'm fine." My grandfather waved his hand and put the bracelet back on my hand.

I looked down at the bracelet and saw that it seemed to be a little different, but it didn't seem to be any different.

My grandfather glanced at the acceptance letter in my hand, entered the room and dragged out a brand new suitcase from under the bed.

My grandfather took me to town a few days ago to buy it for my college use.

In my puzzled gaze, my grandfather packed my few clothes, pushed my suitcase with one hand, and pushed me out the door with the other.

"You go to school now, don't come back if you're fine, and don't come back if you have something."

"Grandpa, it's been more than a month since I left school, why do you have to go to school so early?!" I don't understand.

"Because I want you to live!"

My grandfather had red eyes and handed me a bank card.

"There are 50,000 yuan here, you save some money, if the money is not enough, tell your grandfather, I will call you." But remember, don't come back! It has found this place and will definitely come back! The farther you go, the safer you are, and with the protection of a bracelet, it should keep you safe for a while. ”

"No way, grandpa really can't help it...... cough cough ......"

Grandpa murmured into the house and closed the door. No matter how much I knocked on the door, he didn't answer me anymore.

I could only go to the station crying and enter the university early.

In the past three years, I have studied diligently, worked part-time to earn money, and with my grandfather's 50,000 yuan, life is not a problem.

It's just that I miss my grandfather very much, and every time I call him, I can feel that his body is getting worse day by day, but he resolutely refuses to let me go back. He said that if I dared to sneak home secretly, I would break my leg and send it to school again.

I knew that my grandfather was doing it for my own good, and wanted to keep me out of danger.

But recently, I noticed that the fragrance on the bracelet seems to be lighter.

And my grandfather also took the initiative to call me for the first time.

"Xiao Jiu, I will come to Rongdu to see you in two days. Ahem......"

Xu was afraid that I would hear him coughing, so my grandfather hung up the phone after speaking. I was a little worried about my grandfather's health, but I couldn't hold back the joy of seeing him.

It's been three years, and I've finally been able to see my grandfather!

"It's almost class, let's go."

My roommate Zhang Qian came over and pulled me to walk out, glanced at me, but his footsteps stopped, and he winked at me ambiguously.

"Xiao Jiu, did you secretly have a boyfriend?"

"No, you know, my boyfriend is still in elementary school." I waved my hand and laughed at myself helplessly.

I don't know if Yue Lao forgot my number one when he pulled the red line, others have changed a few boyfriends in three years of college, and I, I haven't even held the hand of a boy.

"And what's going on around your neck? Ghost hit? Zhang Qian pursed her lips and pointed to my neck.

Zhang Qian's words inexplicably made me feel uneasy, I hurriedly ran to the mirror, pulled down my clothes a little, and really saw a faint mark on my neck. Zhang Qian only saw a little bit that was exposed, so she felt that it was an ambiguous ...... Kiss marks.

But actually, it's a little oval.

This shape...... Why do you feel a little familiar and a little creepy?

After a moment of contemplation, my pupils dilated.

Isn't that part of the cat's paw prints!

The fear of being dominated by the black cat returned, and a chill enveloped me from beginning to end.

Is this the reason why my grandfather suddenly said that he came to see me?

"Okay, okay, big beauty, you can take it slowly when you go to class later."

Seeing that I didn't come out for a long time, Xie Lanlan and Zhang Qian came in together and pulled me out of the dormitory.

"I think she won't have the heart to look in the mirror later, I heard that this forensic class is not taught by Mr. Tan, but by the forensic doctor from the Patrol Bureau. According to my grapevine, the forensic doctor is very handsome, and I don't know if it's true. ”

"Doctors can have a few handsome ones, either myopic or bald."

The two of them chatted with each other, but I couldn't listen to it at all, all I could think about was the mark on my neck, and I couldn't help but go all the way to the classroom.

A few minutes later, there was an exclamation from the class.

A man entered the classroom through the back door, and when he passed me, my blood seemed to clotte all over my body.

The smell of his body, I am all too familiar.

And the scent on my bracelet, it's exactly the same!
