Chapter 61: The Cat Demon (1)

When we couldn't see clearly, suddenly a terrible cry startled me and my junior brother Tianning, I threw the firewood in my hand to the ground, trying to touch the ghost knife behind me, but I didn't touch anything, then I remembered that in order to pass the devil's level, my ghost head knife and rifle were hidden in the car, and there was nothing on my body.

My brother is also the same as me, that thing cries bitterly, and at first it sounds like someone is crying heartbreakingly, but after a long time, I can hear that something is wrong, this cry is not human, it is a bit like a cat called spring, and the cat is called spring, and people in the countryside are very familiar with it, that is, the cat makes a sound similar to a baby's cry in the spring night, and the male and female cats will call spring, but the name is different, generally at night. The male cat's name is Chun, and the voice is very low, and it makes a sound from the larynx, "whoa, whoa". The female cat's name is Chun, and her voice is not loud, and she makes a trembling "night, night" cry like a sheep. At the same time, he will lower his body very low, raise his buttocks, face his tail to the side, and lie on the ground with his two hind feet stepping on each other.

Cats are very spiritual, and there are countless legends about cats in various places. You may know a proverb, that is, the cat hangs on the tree, and the dog dies and the water flows. There is such a legend among the folk: once, when the cat asked the tiger for advice, the tiger was trying to learn from the cat to suck blood, but the tiger knew that the cat was cunning, and was afraid that after his kung fu was taught, the cat would learn to lose the contract, so he emphasized that there should be a guarantor.

At this time, the cat saw that the dog was present, so he begged him to come forward to protect him. The dog agreed, and the tiger was about to teach all the skills of "showing power" to the cat, and the cat really learned the skill, so he hid in the tree and refused to teach the tiger to suck blood. After being deceived, the tiger flew into a rage and vowed to tear the cat apart. When the cat saw that the tiger could not climb the tree, he leaned on the tree and boasted of his skills, and made fun of the tiger's inability to climb the tree, threatening that he would die on the tree even if he died, and would never let the tiger destroy the corpse, so that it did not have to be stupid. As soon as the tiger heard it, he was furious under the tree, shouted in vain, and pounced on the dog even when he looked back, and asked the guarantor, and the dog ran away when he saw that the situation was not good, and it happened that the roadside was a field, and he broke into the bush to hide, and the leaves were green like a cover, covering the dog, so that the dog was spared death. Therefore, the dog was grateful for the saving grace of the reed, so he vowed not to hurt the reed, and after his death, he would turn it into water and fertilizer to irrigate it to repay his kindness. Therefore, since ancient times, dogs have refused to eat it. At the same time, when the dog sees the cat, it always growls and chases to get revenge for being deceived. As a result, the folk have the custom of hanging on the tree and the dog abandoning the water.

But this is just a folklore, in fact, the cat is the medium of the yin and yang worlds, a very spiritual thing, giving people the deepest impression that the dog can be tamed and loyal to the owner, and the cat has always been vigilant and wild. There is a folk dog to report the good news and the cat to report the funeral, for no reason the dog comes to the house, generally will make good luck, and the cat comes, it indicates that something is going to happen at home, of course, this is just a folk saying, what will happen, there is no way to study.

However, about the cat hanging on the tree, it is known to everyone, especially in the past, if the cat died, it was not buried in the ground, I remember that the fundamental reason was that after the cat died, it would be buried in the soil and become a cat demon, at that time, it was not possible to eat cat meat, saying that cats have nine lives, and after eating cat meat, the cat will use the reincarnation of the ninth world to retaliate against the person who ate it, and there is that after eating cat meat, he can't cross the Nai He Bridge, and falls into the blood river under the Nai He Bridge.

So at that time, after the cat died, the people in the village would find two little boys who were over six years old and no more than ten years old, such children could not only understand the meaning of adults, but also be child men, and the yang energy was vigorous, I did this when I was a child, the family of the dead cat, gave me and another child two eggs, and then let us carry the cat corpse with wooden sticks, crying and hanging on the tree, I didn't know what it meant when I was a child.

In fact, it is quite related to cats, the cat king is one of the cats, the fat and fat guy, it is harmless to humans and animals, but it is a threat, which directly makes people stunned, and the cat not far away screams sadly, and the sound makes people listen to it very uncomfortable, and the eyes in the dark make people feel bottomless.

We didn't have weapons on us, but there was a lot of ground on it, and I grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it at the night cat, and with a bang, the sound was a bit hollow, not like it was hitting a wall. The screaming cat shut up suddenly, and then the pair of green and faint eyes, parallel to the retreat, then I saw that something was wrong, the cat had a problem, it was said that the cat should turn around and run away, but the cat was like a person, slowly retreated, I saw that something was wrong, grabbed the torch of my junior brother Tianning, picked up a dead branch from the ground, and chased directly towards the cat, and when I chased it, the cat disappeared without a trace.

Senior Brother Tianning caught up with me, and I said to Tianning, "There is something wrong with that cat. ”

Senior brother Tianning said: "Senior brother, you have too much heart, just an old cat." ”

I said, "No, there's something wrong with that old cat, it's lying on its stomach very high, like it's lying on a wall, but there's no wall at all." Empty, that cat can't be flying in the air, right? ”

The junior brother said, "Senior brother, don't think so much, let's go back quickly." ”

As soon as I heard this, I nodded, then handed the torch to my junior brother, and then went back with the dead tree stick, and as soon as I went back, I asked, "What's the matter with the second brother?" Why is the cat's meow so desolate? Cats are called spring in March, this is in July, isn't it called spring? ”

I said, "I don't know what's going on, the wild cat was there and screamed, but I shot it away." ”

At this time, the housekeeper said: "I think something is wrong with this, the cat meow just now, like an old lady pretending, maybe there is really something dirty here?" ”

After finishing speaking, Tian Ning looked nervous, and said: "There are so many of us, we are afraid that it will be a bird, and besides, we still have guns, and we will take out all the guns in a while, as long as that thing dares to come, we will kill its brother-in-law." ”

Tianning's words have not yet fallen, Zhong Dabiao and the housekeeper said no at the same time, Zhong Dabiao said: "We are in a very dangerous situation now, there are devils everywhere here, if we shoot, the devils will surround us, those devils are almost like beasts, we have few people, and we are not very familiar with this area, so we can't attract devils." ”

The housekeeper said: "Yes, this master is right, if we shoot now and attract devils, not only will we not survive, but we will also affect my master, and then it will be troublesome." I beg you, don't shoot. As long as you reach the realm of Fusong, there will be no devil turret there, and you can kill devils as many times as you want. ”

I listened and nodded, and then said to the housekeeper: "Butler, I don't take a gun, take out my ghost head knife, give us self-defense, my ghost head knife can ward off evil spirits and protect everyone's safety." ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly said, "That can be taken out, as long as it is put back and hidden tomorrow, there will be nothing wrong." ”

After I listened, I asked my junior brother Tianning to hold the torch, and we went to find the ghost head knife in the car together, the car was loaded with messy things, the ghost head knife and guns were placed at the bottom, we finally found the ghost head knife, after finding the ghost head knife, the two of us carried the ghost head knife and went to pick up branches and the like, because we had to burn all night, we had to pick up more, this time, we didn't meet that kind of damn wild cat, so I picked it up four or five times, it felt enough, we went back to the fire, the high flames, lit up the surroundings, We ate something, Zhao Zhong prepared a lot of food for us, among which there were a lot of jerky, some were venison, which had been salted and pickled, I took out some of them, and used Zhong Dabiao's knife to cut the jerky into small pieces, and then threaded them with branches and roasted them on the fire to eat.

Don't look at the jerky has been dried, but put it on the fire to roast, slowly a layer of oil will come out, so that the jerky becomes oily, then the fragrance will float out, just smell and smell can make people hungry to death, we are there while roasting the jerky, while talking, the matter of the wild cat, has long been thrown out of the clouds, I didn't expect the cat old lady to come at night.
