Chapter 193: The Old Man and the Tanuki

Since that experience, "Human Gu" has left an indelible impression in the heart of Old Uncle Huang.

Speaking of this, Lao Huang took a deep breath.

Secretary Wang Jili saw that the two of us finished speaking, and hurriedly walked over: "Director Zheng, several!" Either come to my house for a cup of tea first! There's a lot going on...... I want to ......"

Lao Huang smiled bitterly, scratched the back of his head, turned to Director Zheng and said, "Go ahead!" I want to walk around with Xiao Xie and see if there is anything I find. As he spoke, he pulled me into the darkness to the side.

I don't know what Lao Huang thinks, but I am convinced that what he did must be justified, so I hurriedly followed.

After the two of them walked more than ten meters, I heard another cry behind me. I subconsciously turned around, and saw Xiaobei's parents lighting a pile of valuables, muttering something in their mouths, and throwing paper ingots into the fire.

At this time, a sudden gust of wind blew the ashes of the paper money into the air, making the whole scene look very weird.

I couldn't help but shrink my neck, and I had the feeling that this village must be hiding some secret.

I followed Lao Huang along the street, and I could see that he was also walking aimlessly.

At first, neither of them spoke, but in fact, there was nothing to say, and after walking for three or four minutes, Lao Huang spoke: "Little evil, I think this village is abnormal......

"What's not right? Do you mean people or something else? ”

"Pattern! The layout of the whole village seems to be intentional. ”

As he was talking, he saw a person walking over from the opposite side, and he could vaguely tell that it was an old man.

Seeing someone coming over from the other side, Old Uncle Huang's words came to an abrupt end.

"Dude! It's so late, why don't you come home yet? "When I walked in, I saw that this was an old man in his sixties.

The old man raised his head and looked us up and down, but did not speak, but shook his head and continued to walk forward.

"There's a problem!"

After the old man walked ten meters, Lao Huang muttered, turned around and chased back.

"Dude, are you looking for something?"

The old man stopped and glanced back at Old Uncle Huang.

"I'm looking for Wangcai!"

"Wangcai? Your dog! I replied casually.

"No—Wangcai is a cat, a tanuki I've had for seven or eight years."

Lao Huang smiled and continued to ask: "Cats are nocturnal animals, and they are very wild at night!" When the morning dawned, I would naturally go home. ”

The old man shook his head again: "No! My Wangcai is very well-behaved, I never went out the night before, and I don't know what happened tonight! I left home as soon as it was dark. ”

It can be clearly seen that although the old man is not too old, he does not seem to have good eyesight, and he always squints his eyes when he walks, poking his head to look left and right. Seeing his appearance, I suddenly remembered my grandmother.

A few days after Zhang Xiaohai got married, because of me, my grandmother became a blind old lady, and she walked like this.

"Uncle, I'll help you find it!"

Without waiting for Lao Huang to speak, I was impulsive and spoke.

After saying that, I immediately regretted it, this time I followed Director Zheng to such a remote village, I came to investigate the murder case, at this critical moment, how can I help people find cats! I was afraid that Lao Huang would object, but I didn't expect him to agree with a smile.

Seeing that Lao Huang nodded in agreement, I was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the old man: "Uncle, what is the coat color of your cat?" ”

The old man snorted coldly: "You young man looks very energetic, it turns out to be very second!" I told you you were a tanuki, of course! ”

After the old man finished speaking, he continued to walk forward, poking his head to look at both sides as he walked.

I said in my heart, the old guy has a bad temper, help him to return like this!

I think so, but it's not appropriate to say it.

"I'll help you find it!" As he spoke, he hurriedly followed.

Tanuki cat? Tanuki cat?

As I looked around, I imagined what color the tanuki cat was.

In fact, I am both familiar and unfamiliar with cats.

Wang Qianmo has always had a black cat, but grandma has never allowed her to raise a cat, not only did she not let me raise it, but she also did not let the cats in the neighborhood get close to her. The evil thing is that the cats in the village are also afraid of grandma, and there has never been a trace of cats near our house.

I followed the old man for seven or eight minutes, but I didn't see the shadow of the tanuki, but I vaguely felt that there were always eyes staring at me in the dark.

"Uncle, it's so late, I'll send you home first! Your cat should come home on its own......"

The old man smiled: "That's not good!" If I can't find it before twelve, it's going to cause a big deal. ”

"Troublemaker? What can a cat cause trouble? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I remembered what Director Zheng and Secretary Wang Jiliang said before, in the past year, there have been a lot of chickens, ducks and geese in the village inexplicably—could it be that all this was done by the old man's tanuki cat?

As I was thinking, I suddenly heard a cat meow in the darkness, and with my extraordinary eyesight, I saw a fat tanuki lying on a willow tree behind an old house, and its eyes glowed blue.

"Uncle, is that just your cat?"

I shouted as I pointed to the cat in the tree.

"Prosperous! Wangcai will come home with me......"

The old man hooked his hand at the tanuki.

The tanuki seemed to be very human, and made a "meow" at the old man, and threw himself into his arms.

I'll go! Is this a cat? It looks like a little lamb, very fat.

The old man hugged the tanuki like a child, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face. I guess it's because I saw a stranger! The tanuki glared at me warily, and a "purr" sound came out of its throat, as if it was demonstrating.

"Thank you both! Helped me find Wangcai - yes! You're not from this village, are you? ”

I replied, "No! The two of us followed the police from the police station to solve the case, Xiaobei's kid ......"

"O'...... Xiaobei is a poor child! I didn't expect it......"

Lao Huang suddenly asked the old man: "Brother, I'm a little thirsty, is your home far from here?" I want to ask for a glass of water. ”

"Go to my house? My house is dirty and messy, you better go to someone else's house! With that, the old man turned around and walked back.

"Brother! It was past ten o'clock, and the villagers went to bed early...... Any little water, even if it's cold! ”

Hearing Lao Huang say this, the old man stopped again and sighed: "Okay then!" You just come with me, but you have to leave quickly after drinking water, this village is not the place for you to stay! ”

After speaking, he walked forward by taking care of himself.

Unexpectedly, the old man's family lived at the very edge of the village, and standing at the gate of his yard and looking out of the village, I could vaguely see that there was a cemetery.

The house is also dilapidated, and it is estimated that it will leak when it rains heavily!

I wondered, how could he live in such a place? Is it an old bachelor again?

"Both! There's no electricity in my house, so I'll wait at the door for a while while and I'll light the kerosene lamp......"

As he spoke, the old man pushed open the door and walked into the dark room.
