Mom and Dad, you will surely realize that things are not so simple. The facts that happened later also proved this, Lei and I were just deceiving ourselves. In fact, we're all avoiding a question when we're talking about it. That is, why did the right front tire that should have exploded not burst, but the left front tire that the cat sat on above it blew? It's not that I haven't thought about this question, it's just that I can't explain it, or the answer is too terrible to accept. I guess the same is true for Lei.

If it had happened to someone who had nothing to do with me, I might have blurted out the answer: the cat was the embodiment of the devil.

The week was not completely peaceful. Leigh and I got into a bit of a situation. Leigh began to wax and cold at me, leaving me unpredictable. Even the occasional smiley face seems to compensate for the coldness of most of the time. The two get along alone, and there is a feeling of being on the spot. There seems to be something wrong between Yuan and Lei. On the surface, Yuan is still giggling all day long like no one; Lei didn't see anything, but he smoked twice as much as usual. Lei chatted with me privately, saying that don't look at Yuan when everyone gets together and laugh as if it's okay, and put away his smiling face when he is alone with Lei and become another person. Then I suddenly remembered that it seemed that every time Leigh and I forced a smile and laughed, it was when the four of us got along. The two girls seemed to be acting in unison for the other two people. Mom and Dad, you're all from the past, you can't imagine what it means for these things to happen, right?

This day is fourteen days before the pen fairy, and a full week from the last puncture. It's the weekend again, and the four of them have nothing to do after dinner. Lei and I were tired of playing online games, and the two girls were locked in the room and cooing. Finally, Lei couldn't help it: "Let's go for a ride." He closed his computer.

The two girls didn't want to go out, so Lei and I drove out and wandered aimlessly. It was raining heavily, and drops of rain were flying in front of the headlights, and it was unusually clear. Lei and I were both silent, needless to say that we also knew each other's minds, and we were both reminiscing about the terrible experience of last week. Lei learned the lesson of the last time, controlled the speed of the car to forty or fifty yards, and there was no trouble along the way. Passing by a grocery store, Lei got out of the car to buy cigarettes, I sat in the car and saw a white piece of paper on the door of a pet store next to me, I couldn't see it under the dim street lamp, but I could vaguely see the word "cat". So I leaned my upper body out of the window, but I saw that it was written: "Cheap milk cats, pure black, 20 yuan each, 7 for a total of 100 yuan." ”

"Remember that black cat?" I asked when Lei returned.

"Well, what?"

"The pet store just now sold black cats at a discount, a total of seven, which is very cheap."

"Really? Most of them are wild breeds left behind after domestic cats were raped, and they were sold cheaply by their owners. Lei joked. So the conversation opened. As we walked and talked, the conversation gradually turned to the mysterious black cat from last week.

"Why, you say, is that cat sitting on the hood of our car in the parking lot?" I asked.

"I don't know," Lei shook his head, "maybe it's because cats like warm places." A turned off engine dissipates heat from the outside, and the hood is warmer than the rest of the world. ”

"So, is the cat in the parking lot the same cat on the road later?"

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't. But intuitively feel yes. Did you notice that cat's eyes? ”

"Well, it's green, it's eye-catching."

At this moment, the lights in the car suddenly turned on. "Why are you turning on the lights?" I wondered. "Nope." Lei's eyes widened, "God, the door is closed, how can the lights turn on by themselves?" "Who opened it if you didn't drive it?"

"Absolutely not!" Lei argued, "What am I doing with the lights when I have nothing to do?" Besides, you don't know where the light switch is. Have I ever touched it? ”

Indeed, the switch is overhead, next to the light. I took a look and it was hung on the door stall, which means that the light will only turn on when the door opens. "Lines, right?" I reached out to turn it off, but the light went out the moment my hand touched the switch, but not in a normal way, but slowly, from bright to dark. I turned my head to glare at Lei, and he looked at me too.

"The light switch is hung on the door stall." I trembled. "Squeak-" as soon as Lei shook the plate and braked sharply, and I could see the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Open the stall?" He asked.

"Open the stall."

"That is......"

"Yes."

I can totally understand what Lei didn't finish. The lights hanging from the gears automatically turned on and off, and the only plausible explanation was that the doors opened and closed without us even noticing. In a trance, I seemed to see a black hand slowly pull the car door while I was talking and laughing with Lei, get into the car, and slowly close the car door...... I subconsciously jerked my head back.

There's nothing out of the ordinary in the back seat, at least I can't see it. Seat after seat, seat belts sloppy together, the glass window behind the back seat was still bright and transparent, and I could see the rain staining red with the brake lights. Drop by drop, dark red, with glittering rain. It scares me even more. "Back to ...... Go home. I trembled.

After getting back on the road, Lei drove more cautiously, but he didn't say a word. I also stared silently at the wipers swaying from side to side. There was an atmosphere of tension in the small carriage, an indescribable horror. I tried to break the silence several times, but I didn't know what to say. I began to wonder if what Leigh had said seven days later was true. Are we going to encounter ...... again today? What do you encounter? Don't dare to think about it anymore.

"The cat!" Lei suddenly spoke, which startled me a lot.

"What?" I asked, "What happened to the cat?" "When I looked around, there was no shadow of a cat.

"Look you're nervous." He looked at me with a sneer, and I realized that I was too nervous, and smiled embarrassedly: "What do you want to say?" ”

"I mean last week. It must be two cats, they just happen to look the same. If it was a cat, how could it have followed us from the parking lot to our house, and it was still in front of us. Cats don't run as fast as cars, do they? ”

"Of course, that's the case with ordinary cats. It's hard to say anything else. ”

"Okay, okay, stop scaring yourself. You said it was a cat, could it be the father of the seven little black cats just now? ”

"Heh," I said to make a joke to relax myself, "maybe we're having seven black cats behind our butts right now." After saying that, I found that this joke was not funny at all, and my heart began to hair. So I quickly changed the topic loudly: "Of course, that cat may also follow us, and it can follow, well, in our car." "The more you say it, the more wrong it becomes. I looked back nervously. A dark shadow flickered into my vision, and I desperately tried to see it with my eyes wide because I didn't believe it was real.

A black cat is poaching out the back window. The large black tail is erect straight, and the fluffy hair on the top hangs down to appear thick at the top and thin at the bottom, like a black exclamation point. Wet with rain, the hairs are like sharp needles, and I can clearly see the rain slipping down the tips of the needles. Its two dark green eyes were glowing fiercely, glaring at me. I felt the corners of my eyes twitching.

The car braked suddenly—no doubt Lei also saw this scene in the rearview mirror—the cat was thrown straight out by inertia, and I could hear the cat rolling on the roof, and the sharp cat's claws scraped a screeching sound on the roof: "Quack", from back to front, from far to near, as if it was scraping directly on my scalp. With a strange meow, the cat was thrown diagonally, rolled twice on the ground and disappeared into the dark rain.

I looked at Lei in shock, and he looked at me too, and it was superfluous to say anything by this time. "Go home! Come home! "We didn't know it at the time, but it didn't really matter if we didn't go home anymore.

The car stopped a few meters away. "What's wrong?" I asked, for fear that Lei would say something like "the car broke down". Lei's lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't speak. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Speak up! I said urgently.

"Look, where is this?" Lei looked back at me.

There are no street lights on this street. Straight, slightly sloping downwards lead to the front, and at the end is darkness beyond the reach of the car's high beams. There are two rows of trees lined up neatly and symmetrically, with branches crisscrossed above us. When the leaves are falling, some of the branches that have lost their leaves surround us like withered hands, and the remaining leaves are slowly falling with the heavy rain, but in the dark rain, we can't tell what kind of tree it is. It's a road we've never walked before. We're lost.

Lei slowly drove forward again. It's the best thing to do, I thought silently, and instead of sitting here and waiting for death, I might as well go ahead and try my luck. But I soon disproved this theory. Because the further you go, the more weird the atmosphere becomes. I could vaguely see what appeared to be a house behind the tree, but it was blurred, and I didn't see any signs of light. After walking for about five or six minutes, Lei didn't dare to go any further. He stopped the car, and I heard the unknown fruit from the tree clatter on the roof of the carport.

"Lost." Lei sighed, "Do you have a map with you?" ”

"Nope. I forgot my phone. Did you come out with you? If you really can't do it, just call the police, right? ”

"No, where did I get to bring my phone? What to do? Do you think we're going to get out of the car together and ask for directions, or get a phone call? There was an umbrella in the car. ”

I looked out the window at the pitch black, and I couldn't afford to get out of the car and into the darkness. "I—I'm going to try driving?" I proposed.

Neither of them dared to get out of the car, so they huddled together in the car, pushing and shoving. I finally changed my seat, and as soon as I sat down, I heard a "bang" on the door, and it seemed that something not too hard fell on the car.

Cat! Lei and I looked back at the same time, and a dark shadow flashed outside the rear window. I felt my heart twitch. "Let's go! Come on! What are you waiting for? Lei shouted loudly.

I slammed on the accelerator, and both front wheels squeaked and jumped away. I threw myself up the throttle and sprinted, the shadows of the trees on either side of the trees backing back until they were torn into blurred shadows that flew by, but I couldn't see a single sign of reaching the end of the road. Lei shouted, "Slow down, slow down!" Are you looking for death?! I came to my senses and quickly lowered the speed of 156 slowly, only to find that I was in a cold sweat, and even the steering wheel became wet at some point.

"Don't drive so fast!" Lei lowered his voice in annoyance, "Unless you want to die here today." But don't stop and find your way as you go! I nodded again and again, and glanced in the rearview mirror, but fortunately, there were no cats. Don't look at the back, I'll take care of the back. Drive your car. Lei nailed a sentence, probably sensing my vision.

I calmed down a little and drove a little longer, noticing that there were quite a few forks in the road. I didn't dare to rush in, but the road grew longer and longer, as if there was no end to it, and the trees on both sides did not change. My heart is starting to grow again. "Now, where are we going? Still going on? "After another fork in the road, I asked. Lei didn't squeak, lit a cigarette and handed it to me, and lit another one himself. "Turn in at the next intersection." He puffed into a puff of smoke, "Huh? What is that. ”

A large tree in front of it was in the middle of the road, and the road was completely cut off from here, and it was no longer possible to go forward. But I could still see the road stretching straight forward under the tree, sloping downward, seemingly endless. Beyond the tree, there were still rows of large trees on both sides of the road. But we can't go any further. I felt a brush slowly brushing over my heart.

"Go back!" Lei said in a commanding tone, "Go back the way you came." "I had run out of ideas for a long time, so I did what he said. But I have a vague hunch in my heart that it will be very difficult for us to get out of this place today.

Sure enough, after walking for less than ten minutes, the premonition came true. There was an identical big tree in front of him blocking the way, no, it was the way it came. Asking "why didn't we come when we came" doesn't make any sense anymore. "A fork in the road, right?" I proposed. Lei suddenly laughed out loud, and then blushed and didn't make a sound.

"What's wrong?" I wondered how he could laugh. He pointed to the dashboard in front of me, and the oil lamp was on.

"What to do? Get off the bus? I asked, but he shook his head: "No, get out of the car and walk, I'm afraid of ......"

There was another "bang", and we turned around suddenly, but we didn't see anything. Outside the back window, there was nothing but rain and a dark road. I saw that the tail lights reflected the scenery behind it in blood red.

I turned my head to look at Lei with trepidation, and he slowly turned his head and opened his mouth to say something, but I only heard him let out a terrible cry: "Meow-"

It's not him, it's the cat! The black cat appeared on the windshield in front! He was lying on top of the glass with his teeth and claws. I felt my hairs stand on end. A chill came straight through the toes.

"Meow-" The black cat raised one paw against the glass, as if in demonstration. Lei yelled "Get out", punched the glass, and kept attacking, hoping to scare the cat away. I also helped to honk the horn desperately. But the cat was not scared away, "Uh-" It made an angry sound, and the rain-soaked fur stood up in rows, like rows of black teeth. It frantically stretched out its claws, its two front paws clutching desperately at the windshield, making a "squeak-squeak-" sound. The sight of madness made me shudder, and it occurred to me that it wanted to break through the window!
