Chapter 106: Cat Change! (below)
The matter of the cat becoming a fine gradually spread ten, ten to hundreds, and even the landlord knew about it. Who can be calm when they hear such a thing? The landlord listened to it and insisted on evicting Ah Zhi and her son.
But the Azhi family has lived here for many years, and they have been living here since her husband was alive. Therefore, Ah Zhi was really reluctant to leave here, so he kept begging the landlord, and cried very sadly, saying that she would dispose of the cats with him, as long as she didn't let the mother and son move, she could do anything.
In fact, everyone is just disgusted with those cats, and they still have compassion for Ah Zhi's mother and son. And this time, Ah Zhi's attitude was really good, so after everyone discussed, they no longer forced her to move, but instead used their energy to fight those cats.
The landlord thought of a good solution.
"The first two times we didn't completely solve this problem was because we just drove them away, not killed them. This time, we'll just sink them to the bottom of the ocean and drown! If you leave this kind of refined cat in the world, maybe something will happen and endanger everyone. So we need to be thorough so that we can never come back. β
This method was quickly adopted, and this time, instead of just sending three representatives, they mobilized all the men in the vicinity to do it.
Ah Zhi also knew that once she did this, she would never see these cats again, but she couldn't think of anything better, so she had nothing to say but to appoint.
However, when people came to pick up the cat, she made a request.
"I want to feed them before they hit the road, okay?"
It wasn't a big deal, so everyone agreed. That day, Ah Liang didn't go out to sell fish, so Ah Zhi specially asked his son to make fish and cook rice after asking people's permission. When the things were ready, she summoned the cats and personally distributed the fish and rice to the plates and placed them in front of them.
When the cat saw such a sumptuous meal, he munched on it with joy, and in the end, he ate not only the rice and fish, but also the bones of the fish. Ordinary people may have seen a cat eating, think nothing unusual, but, twenty cats eating together, I am generally afraid it is difficult to see, they grab the food on the plate, fierce looks, no longer have the usual good look, people look at this scene, no longer think the cat is cute, and only Ah Zhi, in such a situation can also give birth to sad emotions, in front of everyone, from time to time to turn their heads, sad to wipe tears. Everyone only felt that this seemingly bleak scene concealed horror and weirdness.
The next thing was very simple, according to the plan, the cats were all drowned in the sea and never came back.
Without the harassment of cats, people's lives are much more peaceful.
Azhi's life went on as usual, and she was neither very sad nor very disappointed when she lost those cats. And her son Ah Liang still goes out to sell fish every day to maintain the livelihood of the mother and son. On the surface, nothing is different.
However, on the seventh day after the death of those cats, Ah Zhi also died!
The house to the south of Ah Zhi was unoccupied, so no one knew how Ah Zhi died, but the carpenter's family lived in the north, but when Ah Zhi died, it was evening, the carpenter did not come home, and her wife went out to buy vegetables as usual, so it is not clear how it happened.
However, the locksmith's wife was the first to find the dead body, and it is said that when she returned from her errands that day, she just walked into the alley and saw the door of Azhi's house open. She thought it was Ah Liang who came back, because since the cat was gone, Ah Zhi had been closed, the door was always closed tightly, and it would only be opened when Ah Liang came back, and when she passed by, she wanted to say hello to Ah Liang. However, she shouted and found that no one in there answered. She felt strange, and saw that it was getting late, and the visibility was not very good, but the lights in Azhi's house had not yet been turned on, and the house was dark and silent. The locksmith's wife felt that something was wrong, so she stood outside the door of Ah Zhi's house and looked at it, and then quietly walked in and looked into the house, only to find that there was a person lying in the doorway, motionless. She was a little scared and a little uneasy, but she still looked at it carefully and recognized that it was Ah Zhi, so she quickly called someone over.
Neighbors heard the shouts and rushed to the scene, and someone reported it to the landlord, who came non-stop.
Judging from the scene, everyone can only speculate that Ah Zhi died suddenly, but no one knows whether it was a disease or a homicide. However, there is one thing that people think is strange, there is such a big thing at home, where is Ah Liang? There was also his fish basket and flat pole in the corner, and since his fish basket and flat pole were at home, he should have come back long ago. Now that Ah Zhi has died suddenly, and the family is in chaos, but he has disappeared, it really doesn't make sense. But things always have to be done. In view of Ah Liang's temporary absence, the landlord finally came forward to invite a doctor to examine the cause of Ah Zhi's death.
The results of the examination came back quickly. There was nothing abnormal on Ah Zhi's body, except for a wound on the top of his head. However, the doctor could not tell whether the wound was caused by someone else or whether Ah Zhi had hit himself when he fell. Considering that Ah Zhi is so old, it should be caused by a fall on his legs and feet.
At this time, Ah Liang still did not come forward. Just when everyone was speculating about Ah Liang's whereabouts, Ah Liang suddenly came back dejected, his expression was a little dazed, and his face was not good. His friend Aggie followed him, as if he was worried.
Aji is a man in his thirties, who is five big and three thick, and also sells fish for a living.
Everyone didn't understand why Ah Zhi had an accident, and Ah Liang's first thought was not them, but Ah Ji, whose home was far away from here? Could it be that Ah Liang always minded the neighbors killing his mother's cat? Is it a disguise that he is kind and angry every day? Does Ah Liang think in his heart that if the cat hadn't died, his mother wouldn't have died so soon? In this way, Ah Liang should have a grudge in his heart, right? A chill suddenly felt in everyone's hearts.
Aggie didn't even look at the neighbors, and asked the doctor directly: "Excuse me, what's going on?" β
The doctor said, "It must have been caused by a fall." β
At this time, Ah Liang kept crying, he was really an honest child.
With the help of Ah Ji, Ah Liang completed the funeral of his mother Ah Zhi, during which the neighbors came to help, and Ah Liang did not refuse.
Because Ah Zhi has the title of "cat mother-in-law" and followed the drowned cat, people from ten miles and eight villages have come to see the excitement, and the funeral was completed in an unprecedented excitement.
Ah Liang, who has no mother, began to live alone, he saw that his neighbors were still amiable, he always kept a smiling face, without any emotional fluctuations, but people gradually gave birth to a strange feeling in their hearts, always felt that his smile was different from before, when his mother was alive, it was a smile from the heart, but now people always feel that this smile is mixed with something, what is it? People think about it for a long time before they remember, that's hypocrisy, this child may not be as honest as it seems, and some people say that cats just have a smiling face, you see how much he laughs like a cat. Only the carpenter's wife didn't believe these talks, she said, you are all mediocre people, psychological effects! This kid is the same as before!
One day, Ah Liang suddenly disappeared! He sells fish every day with a flat pole, goes out early and returns late, and I don't know when he disappeared, and his weak figure never appeared in the alley again. Aggie also came to him, saying that he hadn't seen him for days, and the neighbors shook their heads, saying that they hadn't seen him for days.
Aggie went to the police station to file a report.
The police station sent people to search around, and two days later, the results were finally obtained, and the police saw Ah Liang's floating body on the beach. Coincidentally, the place where Ah Liang fell into the water was the same place where people drowned the cats at that time.
Ah Liang's death caused a sensation, first the cat, then the cat mother-in-law, and then the cat mother-in-law's son, this is also too weird, right? There was a lot of talk, and most people agreedββββ and it was the neighbors and landlords who bullied and drove orphans and widows to death. This can make the people in the alley and the landlord cry out for wrongdoing, they seem to have suffered a great shame, and swear that there is no such thing, they all say that Ah Liang was locked by the cat soul, not only Ah Liang, but even the "cat mother-in-law". Now people have said again, why is your main culprit okay, but the mother and son are fine? Didn't you throw the cat into the sea? The neighbor and the landlord were dumbfounded, and the carpenter's wife said that maybe it wasn't our turn yet. This unintentional sentence reminded the big guys that people are moving one after another and are not living here. When the landlord heard this, he burst into tears.
But the police station sent a notice that no one was allowed to leave until the case was found, and every family in the alley was to be investigated. Combined with the death of the cat and the cat mother-in-law, the police speculated that Ah Liang may have been killed by his neighbors, and it is impossible for Ah Liang not to be full of resentment for the death of his mother, and it is impossible for him and his neighbors to live in peace anymore, has he ever threatened his neighbors?
The people were investigated with resentment and annoyance, and it was clear from the calm expressions of these people that they could not be the murderers.
At last the policeman came to the carpenter's house, and the carpenter went out to work, but only the carpenter's wife was at home, and as soon as she saw the policeman, she enthusiastically gave up her seat, made tea, and said that she had something to say to them.
"I tell you," said the carpenter's wife, glaring, "O Zhi, that old lady, she has become a cat!" It became, and the cat demon became! β
The policeman said, "What are you making up a story?" β
The carpenter's wife said anxiously, "I know everything!" I'm telling you, Ah Zhi, there's something really wrong with her! That's true. β
The policeman thought she knew something, so he asked, "Are you so sure, did you see it with your own eyes?" β
"Yes! I did see it! I didn't dare to mention this to outsiders, you shouldn't know that Ah Zhi always asked his son to keep fish for the cat, right? If those cats were still there, it would be reasonable for her to let Ah Liang keep the fish, but after those cats were sent away, she still insisted that Ah Liang do so, which is inexplicable. When my husband found out, he went to ask him, and the child reluctantly said that his mother had to let him do it. β
The policemen looked at each other and felt weird.
The carpenter's wife continued: "Ah Liang didn't know what his mother Ah Zhi was doing this, he just kept the fish in the kitchen every day as instructed, and the next morning, the fish were gone. Ah Liang felt strange, so he asked his mother again, but his mother Ah Zhi didn't speak, since those cats were sent away, Ah Zhi seemed to be a different person, and he didn't speak anymore. Later, it was my husband who gave him the idea to stop bringing fish into the house and see what would happen. Ah Liang thought about it and finally agreed to give it a try. On that day, Ah Liang came home after selling the fish as usual, and the fish basket was empty, and I was a little curious about what Ah Zhi would do if he knew about it, so I sneaked to the door of his house to peek. I only heard Ah Zhi look at the empty fish basket and say very unhappily, "Why is there nothing today?" Then there was a terrible change in her face, her ears stood up, her eyes began to glow green, and her mouth grew bigger and bigger, almost under her ears! That look, from a distance, where is still a person, it is clearly a cat! β
After the carpenter's wife finished speaking, she still looked frightened, as if she had seen the scene of that day again.
"Is there such a thing? And what about later? The police asked, and they were a little convinced.
"Yes! There really is not a word of falsehood! Think about it, how scary that scene is! At that time, Ah Liang should have been frightened, only to see him pick up his flat shoulder and smash it hard at the cat's head, maybe it was too hard, maybe it hit the key point all of a sudden, Ah Zhi didn't even have time to scream, and fell straight to the ground. When Ah Liang reacted, it was too late, he first stood in place, stared at the corpse for a while, and then went out, I saw him come out, I was so frightened that he hid behind a big tree in the yard, judging from what happened later, he went to call Aji, he has a friend named Aji. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to breathe, and just wanted to go out from behind the tree, I saw a person coming in the yard, I thought it was Ah Liang coming back, no matter who it was, I had to hide, so I continued to hide, I peeked outside, and found that it was the locksmith's wife, she saw the corpse lying in the doorway, and went out screaming in fright. I was even more frightened when she called me like this, and I hurried home, by this time, it was almost dark. Until the day of Ah Zhi's funeral, I didn't believe that it was Ah Zhi who was lying there covered with a white cloth, but a cat demon, but the cat did not show its original form, her white hair was exposed, and I never saw the cat head again, I thought, could it be that the soul of those dead cats borrowed Ah Zhi's body? Either way, it's not clear. This is Ah Zhi's death, so everything is the cat's trouble, Ah Liang's death must also have something to do with the cat, this kid, has always gotten along well with the neighbors, he has never complained about anything, at least not on the surface, which makes us more guilty, how can we harm him? We didn't have time to help him, and our neighbors were still discussing a family affair for Ah Liang, but we didn't expect Ah Liang to go suddenly. β
The carpenter's wife finished. There was silence in the room, and everyone was shocked and immersed in it.
This case has not been investigated, and the words of the carpenter's wife make people suspicious, and the case has become an unsolved case.
