Tanuki Gang was originally an unnamed wild forest gang on the bank of the easternmost river in the town, close to the shallow bay where the fishermen of the town moored their boats, the fishermen returned from fishing, carried the fish to the river bank to pick up, and those who did not want the dead fish and rotten shrimp were thrown on the edge of the forest, and over time attracted a lot of wild cats to gather in the forest, relying on the fish and shrimp abandoned by these fishermen for food, and later the villagers in the town called this forest the civet gang.

Feng Sanyan came to Tanzi Gang with a mouse skin, at this time the night was dark, the moonlight was clear, and there was silence around the forest, only occasionally a few cat meows came from the dense forest of Gangzi.

Feng Sanyan followed the instructions of the uneven old way, and walked around the forest of Tanzigang three times quickly. It's strange to say, every time Feng Sanyan walked around, the more cats in the forest meowed, and after three laps, the cats barked one after another, endlessly.

Feng San didn't care much, and returned to Liu Bao's house the same way.

Feng Sanyan walked forward briskly, faintly feeling that something was following him behind him, and when he stopped and looked back, he saw a little green brilliance flickering in the darkness behind him, like a firefly.

It's late autumn now, where are the fireflies? Feng Sanyan wondered in his heart, and accelerated the pace of moving forward more and more.

After a short time, Feng Sanyan returned to Liu Bao's house, and the unfair old man and Liu Bao had been waiting for a long time, so they hurriedly came up and asked him how things were going. Feng Sanyan threw the rat skin in his hand to the ground, raised his sleeve and wiped the white hair sweat on his forehead: "It's all done according to the instructions of the Taoist master."

The old man nodded, made a square gesture towards the outside of the courtyard, and said with a respectful expression. Feng Sanyan and Liu Bao didn't understand who Lao Dao was greeting, and were about to ask, when there was a rustling sound outside the courtyard, and countless black shadows jumped on the roof of Liu Bao's house.

Feng Sanyan and Liu Bao looked at each other, and saw that under the moonlight, the corners of the walls and courtyards and the eaves of Liu Bao's house were full of wild cats of different colors and sizes! Feng Sanyan then woke up, it turned out that on the way back, he was followed far away by the wild cats in the raccoon hill, and those dotted green brilliance were all glowing wildcat eyes.

The two of them were surprised when a wild cat at the gate of the courtyard, which was significantly larger than other similar cats, slowly walked in. The wild cat was sturdy, covered in golden fur, with a round head and small ears, a straight nose and a long tail, and two amber bead-like eyes that shone goldenly. When the group of cats around the yard saw the big cat appear, they all bowed their heads respectfully, not daring to move.

According to the records in the folk "Xiangmao Sutra", this cat is the rarest "golden tiger" among cats. The golden tiger cat is a natural alien species, with tiger power, the eyes of the "golden-eyed night lamp" can see through all the evil and sneaky things, if anyone is lucky enough to raise one, not only the mouse is extinct, but also can drive away evil in the house and protect the peace.

The golden tiger walked into the courtyard and sat in front of the uneven old road, his long tail swaying gently, and his two eyes looked at the old road. Lao Dao looked respectful, as if he regarded this wild cat as a human being: "You really shouldn't be there, but this family has rat spirits to haunt and harm people." The old way of persuasion has no result, so I have to ask you to deal with the demons! ”

The golden tiger seemed to understand the old words, nodded slightly, and a whining sound came out of his throat.

The uneven old man hurriedly turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to the inner room, and then called Feng Sanyan and Liu Bao, and led the golden silk tiger to swagger towards the house. In the yard, other wild cats jumped down from the walls and roofs, and all of them crowded at the door of the house.

As soon as the three of them entered the back room, Liu's mother smiled and said, "Liu Bao, my good son, what delicious food did you buy to honor the old lady?"

Liu Bao didn't dare to talk, the golden silk tiger flashed out from behind the three of them, jumped lightly on the table, and bowed down to scream at Liu's mother on the bed, and the golden hairs all over her body exploded.

When Mother Liu saw this golden tiger, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she shrank into the corner of the bed with an exclamation, trembling like chaff, and called Liu Bao screaming: "My son, get this wild cat out!" Fast! ”

This rat is afraid of the cat is nature, although the rat spirit attached to Liu's mother has some Taoism, but this golden tiger is the spirit of the cat, born with a tiger, how can the mouse spirit not be afraid?

The uneven old man twisted his eyebrows and said to Liu's mother: "Bold demon, now you know that you are afraid?" Leave quickly, I'll keep you safe! ”

Mother Liu was frightened in her heart, but she still refused to give up easily, gritted her teeth and said: "Stinky cow nose, it turns out that it is all a good thing you have done!" The grievances between me and the Liu family are not so easy to settle! Since you forced me, I will immediately call this sick old woman to return to the west! With that, he slammed his neck into the wooden post in the corner of the bed.

"Don't!" Liu Bao and Feng Sanyan exclaimed at the same time, and it was beyond the reach of the whip to step forward to stop them! Liu's mother has been sick and weak for a long time, if she is hit like this, where can she still live?

At this moment, the golden silk tiger on the table roared angrily and rushed towards Liu's mother like lightning! In mid-air, he squirted a mouthful of saliva at Liu's mother's face.

Mother Liu was caught off guard by the spittle in the mouth of the golden silk tiger and spewed all over her face, and immediately stiffened and couldn't move, as if she had been immobilized.

The golden tiger landed on Liu's mother's chest, whining and whining in her throat. The rat spirit in Liu's mother's body was so frightened that her eyes were round, and she couldn't move, so she could only open her mouth wide and scream.

Jin Sihu brought his mouth and nose to Liu's mother's mouth and took a long breath. A gray-black turbidity gradually floated out of Liu's mother's mouth, and all of them were slowly inhaled into her body by the golden tiger.

The black gas in Liu's mother's mouth was endless, and the golden silk tiger kept absorbing it, and the more she sucked it, the more her belly swelled, and in a moment it was like a huge ball, as if it would explode at any time.

After touching a cup of tea, Liu's mother no longer spit out black gas from her mouth, and her body collapsed on the bed.

Jin Sihu licked his mouth with satisfaction, jumped off Liu's mother, shook his head and tail, shook his whole body, straightened his body and opened his mouth to burp a long time. As the burp was released, the golden tiger's abdomen, which was originally bulging like a ball, immediately collapsed, and returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

Jin Sihu "meowed" at the three of them, turned his head and walked towards the door, the unfair Daoist was overjoyed, and said to Liu Bao: "The rat spirit has been removed!" After speaking, he followed the golden tiger out of the back room, hugged his fists and arched his hands: "Thank you, thank you!"

The golden tiger nodded slightly, jumped on the courtyard wall, and whispered at the group of cats in the yard.

In the room here, Liu Bao came to the bedside early to check on the old lady's situation. Liu's mother was already unconscious after this toss, but she was still breathing between her mouth and nose. Feng Sanyan helped call the doctor in the town, and the doctor cut Liu's mother's pulse, saying that she was frightened and her life was safe. Liu Bao was relieved.

Soon after sending the doctor away, Liu's mother woke up slowly, Liu Bao hugged the old mother and cried bitterly, Liu's mother was at a loss, I don't know why Liu Bao was crying, Liu Bao asked the old lady how she felt these days, Liu's mother only said that she seemed to be groggy and fell asleep for a long time, and she didn't know anything else.

Seeing that Liu's mother was already sober, the unfair old man and Feng San looked at each other and smiled, quietly left Liu Bao's house, and returned to Shiniuguan together.
