Chapter 9: The Four-Eared Black Cat
On the road again, I glanced back at Yang Xiaoxiao, I was really a little reluctant, beckoned to her, and drove out of the village.
Walking slowly all the way, I had lunch in Heshui Town, and the sky was a little overcast, as if it was going to rain in Yongning Town.
When I arrived at Miaolong Village, it was less than two o'clock at noon, and it was even darker. It was also drizzling, so we had to take shelter in the roadside farmhouse corridor.
"One?" Jiang Ming took out a cigarette and threw it to me, I caught it, and he handed over the lighter. After the two of them lit their cigarettes, the fat man came over and patted me on the shoulder.
How did he say this Yang Xiaoxiao? I said it's good, it's beautiful, it's well-proportioned, what's wrong? The fat man said you like people?
Isn't this nonsense, who doesn't like beautiful girls, I pointed to his fat belly and said, don't rob me. The three of them joked and joked in the hallway.
Looking at the dark sky on the other side of Yongningwei, as black as thick ink, it should be raining rain, and the lightning and thunder are particularly fierce.
The fat man's face changed, and he said that he might not be able to leave today, there was a heavy rainstorm over there, there might be a flash flood, and we had to find a place to stay.
Although there are tents, in densely populated places on the side of the road, I don't want to sleep in tents on rainy days, and would rather squat in the corridor of people for one night.
Just like that, I watched the rain over there, and it continued to rain for four or five hours, and after four or five hours of thunder and lightning, it was completely dark.
The fat man said, there is a vision in the sky, and there must be a demon when things go wrong, and today's rain is too unusual. Then we decided to turn back and spend the night in Heshui Town.
Hit the motorcycle, the headlights illuminate the front. It's not raining much here, so put on a raincoat and drive it slowly. It should take twenty minutes to get to Heshui Town, and it is better to find a small hotel for one night, which is better than rushing to the night while it is dark, which is too dangerous.
At one corner, my headlights shone on the side of the road in front of me and there was a reflection, as if there were small animals. When I parked it, it was dark and I couldn't see clearly.
Jiang Ming also stopped and asked what he was looking at? I said it was like there were small animals on the side of the road, with the reflection of the eyes, blue.
The fat man turned on the bright flashlight and shone on a small black animal beside the roadside ditch. Jiang Ming parked the car and found a stick and flipped it, and he could move. I squatted down and picked it up, it turned out to be a little black cat.
The little black cat was soaking wet, trembling, and looking pitiful with half-open eyes.
"By this ditch, if it rains a little more, the kitten will be drowned if the water rises, but fortunately it was found early." Jiang Ming muttered.
The fat man was not happy, and said brother, what are you doing? Compassionate? This thing of unknown origin, bad luck, you quickly threw it away.
Jiang Ming said that it is also a life, pick it up and raise it, see if Lan Yue likes it, and give it to her. Then the fat man let out a weird laugh, and I laughed too, people Blue Moon drives a BMW, will you be missing a wild cat?
Jiang Ming didn't care how the fat man persuaded him, he was bent on adopting it, and the fat man said I don't care, you feed it yourself, I'm most afraid of cats, this thing is yin.
Jiang Ming put the cat in the trunk. Then continue to hurry, and come to Heshui Town in about ten minutes. I found a small hotel, drove the motorcycle into the backyard, took off my clothes and checked in.
The hostel is not big, we asked for two double rooms. The fat man snored and slept by himself. I came out of the bath and saw that Jiang Ming was still wiping the water on the kitten's body, and I said to take a bath with hot water, so that the recovery would be faster.
He took it to the toilet, washed and dried it, and went to the shower himself. The kitten was not big, and when it was a little bigger than a fist, it curled up in a cardboard box and drowsy. It's covered in black hair, and it's scary to look at.
I shone it with a flashlight, thinking that there was still some dry food, and I didn't know if the kitten would eat it. But the dry food was in the car, and I just took the clothes. I told Jiang Ming, who was taking a bath in the toilet, that I would go get dry food, and went downstairs.
When I got the dry food and came back, I heard Jiang Ming say when I entered the door, Daheng, come and see, this cat has four ears.
I ran in, turned on the flashlight, and it was really, there were ears on both sides, and now there are two ears on each side, overlapping.
I said that the cat I picked up, will it be unlucky? I've heard of picking up dogs, but I've never heard of picking up cats, otherwise throw them away, right?
Jiang Ming hesitated a little, so I went to find the fat man, knocked on the door a few times, and the fat man just came out of the shower and asked what he was doing. I said Jiang Ming's cat has four ears, do you want to go and see it?
The fat man took a breath and hurriedly followed. Flashlight, use disposable chopsticks to keep plucking the kitten's ear. I couldn't stop saying, this is strange, how can it have four ears. I haven't heard of this either, or Jiang Ming, you can throw it away.
Jiang Ming quit and said that I adopted both ears, what happened to the four ears? And I didn't let you feed it. The fat man had nothing to say, and said that you should raise it slowly, I was tired, go back to sleep.
I didn't care, I went to bed, I drove a motorcycle for a day, took a hot shower, and couldn't open my eyes. I put down my dry food and yawned and went to bed, sleeping with my head covered.
When I got up in the morning, I saw Jiang Ming breastfeeding the kitten, which was unusual, and I asked where the milk powder came from. He said that he bought it in the supermarket, 20 yuan a pack, plus 30 yuan for the bottle.
The fat man called at the door, go to breakfast, hurry up, starving, I didn't eat last night. Jiang Ming said you go eat it, remember to pack it for me.
After breakfast, I was ready to go, today was a cloudy day, there was no sun, Jiang Ming put the kitten in the trunk and covered it with an old towel.
When I arrived at Yongningwei, I saw that the river was rising, and the yellow and turbid river water was about to blow over the bank. Many people on the streets of the town are discussing the heavy rain yesterday, and they also said that many places in Shaniutang have collapsed, and buses can't pass.
The fat man turned around and asked if he could walk, they said that the road on the mountain had collapsed, and the car could not pass, and it was estimated that there was no problem with our motorcycle. Jiang Ming said to go and have a look.
When I got out of the town, I saw a lot of excavators and engineering vehicles, which were organized by the town's Taoist class, and went to the mountains to clean up the landslide.
Walked to a fork road, the fat man stopped, said that the left is the road from the bridge, take Guigang Town, the road is easier to walk, is half farther. Walking straight is to turn over the sand cow pond, which is where the collapse is, and ask which one to choose.
I said take a shortcut, there are engineering vehicles open the road, and it should be passable. Everyone set off again, and before they had driven ten meters, Jiang Ming's cat barked in the trunk.
He stopped and opened the trunk, and saw that the kitten was more energetic, and the fluffy black hair was dry, and it looked very cute.
After soothing the kitten, he went on the road again, and the cat barked again. Jiang Ming said, the road ahead should be unlucky, let's take the bridge. I said it wouldn't be so godly, would you, why don't you try?
Turning around and walking in the direction of the bridge, the cat really stopped barking. The fat man didn't believe it and told us to turn back, and the cat barked again.
After trying a few times, I finally decided that the cat would bark in the direction of Shaniutang. Looking at the construction trucks have gone far, Jiang Ming said, anyway, if you are not in a hurry, let's go to the bridge.
Along the way, I didn't see a landslide, and I went out of the mountain smoothly.
When he was resting, he saw Jiang Ming breastfeeding the cat, and the fat man said that Jiang Ming might have picked up a treasure and could predict the danger. I said that the cat was too small to see, and that it might be a coincidence.
Out of the town of Huangniutou, we went to a small restaurant for lunch. Many people in the restaurant were discussing the Shaniutang landslide. It is said that several cars were overturned, some of them were forced to pass over, and some of them were smashed by a sudden collapse.
The three of us looked at each other, and our eyes couldn't help but fall on the kitten. Jiang Ming, a big man holding a kitten and breastfeeding, also attracted a lot of attention.
The fat man sucked the last vermicelli into his mouth. whispered, Jiang Ming, your cat is really a baby, let it be for me. Jiang Ming turned around and ignored him, I laughed next to me, yesterday you said that the yin qi was heavy and unlucky, and you also said that you were afraid of cats.
The fat man didn't give up, and said that in addition to the fireball, I used something else to change lines with you? Jiang Ming said that you didn't find anything else besides fat, could it be cholesterol?
The fat man's face is not good-looking, people say that he is fat, he doesn't breathe at all, he is used to it. But if he doesn't have anything else, he's not happy.
The fat man said that the entrance to the Tao of cultivation was taught to you, right? And the scary things about fighting, I'll tell you about it. Fat man, I still have a lot of things at the bottom of the box.
Jiang Ming just ignored him, let him say that he broke the sky, and he didn't change it. I said that Jiang Ming rarely got a baby, no matter how he said it, it was his fate, so he naturally refused to give it to you.
You're not willing to trade fireballs, why don't I exchange this unicorn arm for fireballs with you? When I fight, I just throw fireballs. The fat man giggled and said that this could not be changed.
After eating, the fat man said wait a minute, he went to the small shop to call his senior brother.
The fat man's senior brother is the temple Zhu of Nanshan Temple in Mashui Town, and his master is the host of the Xianhu Temple in Bajia Town. How did this temple and the temple come together?
Many small temples in the south belong to the Buddhist family. There are Bodhisattvas receiving incense in the Taoist temple, and there are also three immortal masters in the temple who are worshipped.
When the fat man came back from the call, his face was not good. He said that his master had returned, and that tomorrow was the 14th day of the seventh month, and that he was going to sacrifice. also asked the senior brother to tell him that he should not care about the affairs of the steel factory, that Mr. Qiu is very powerful. Let him return to the Taoist temple immediately and be grounded for a year.
After the fat man finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. There is no fat man, let's deal with that Mr. Qiu, it is estimated that he will hang up if he can't get out of this county.
The fat man is a serious Taoist priest, who has given the urn, and the Dharma he has received is equivalent to graduating from primary school, and the graduation certificate has the seal of the school and the seal of the Education Bureau, and has a record and a student number.
The graduation certificate of the kindergarten does not have the seal of the Education Bureau and the statement of the record of the student number.
This conferral will issue a voucher for the post, so that there can be a Taoist priesthood. With the Taoist priesthood, the chapters in his Jiao can reach the heavens and be blessed by the gods.
Therefore, the fat man can play fireballs, and it is difficult for a wild Taoist priest who does not have a gift to play a fire talisman. For example, Jiang Ming. And I can only be regarded as being favored by the machine spirit.
Watching the fat man ride away on a motorcycle, I asked Jiang Ming what to do, and he said call home, don't go back. Knowing that people are waiting for the net, he still plunges into it, that is the water in his brain.
Tomorrow is July 14, and it is Halloween in the local area. We didn't dare to go home, so we called our family at the store. Say that there are some things to be busy, go back later, so that the family does not worry.
I asked my mom if anyone had been looking for me lately. Mom said no, why can't you get through on the phone? I said I had changed my number, and I didn't have a regular job yet, so I would call home when I had time.
After the call, we didn't know where to go. The fat man's master has grounded him, and we are not necessarily welcome to take refuge there.
We squatted in the shade of the tree to smoke, threw cigarette butts all over the ground, and Jiang Ming was holding the black cat and brushing the fur.
At this time, the black cat suddenly barked, Jiang Ming's face turned pale, and he looked around, only to see a muck truck rushing over less than a hundred meters.
We stood up and looked at the muck truck, and we saw that we were in front of us, and we didn't see the brakes. Frightened, we hurried to the other side. With a bang, Jiang Ming's motorcycle shattered into slag.
The muck truck continued to knock down a few trees before it stopped.
"Daheng, drive your car and run." Jiang Ming hurriedly said. My motorcycle was parked in the shade of the opposite tree and came over to smoke with Jiang Ming, so the motorcycle was fine.
I took out the key and started the fire, and he immediately squeezed up with the black cat in his arms, started the motorcycle and accelerated.
