From this day on, my hard days kicked off, I had to get up at three o'clock in the morning, first go to the mountain spring to take a bath, and then wipe my body and get dressed to clean the deer park. These deer were donated by pilgrims, and they were very timid, and when they saw me open the door and come in, they hid far away. I'm going to clean up their droppings, clean the troughs, and bring clean water.

In fact, it is easy to say that these jobs are nothing more than hard, and the hardest thing is the wild cat. When I arrived at the back mountain, I stood on the dirt slope not far away and looked at the cats resting on the high cliff convex rocks, completely helpless.

The plan I designed at the beginning was to lay traps in the Buddha hall, which was a good idea, but when I really put it into practice, I found that there were many problems, such as how to arrange the traps, what to use as bait, and so on. This is a monastery, there could be no rat traps or anything like that, and then I found a broken basket and supported it with a small stick with a rope tied to it, and I couldn't catch the bird after a few attempts.

When I was testing the trap, Bei Bei was also watching, the child was very excited, elated, seeing that I couldn't catch anything, he giggled, let a child laugh like this, I really can't hang it on my face.

Bei Bei asked me, brother, do you want to catch birds to eat, but Mrs. Shi won't let you eat meat.

I told him that I was going to catch a wild cat, and that I was designing a trap, a task that had been assigned by the teacher.

The kid immediately became excited, puffed out his cheeks and said I'm going to participate too, take me one.

I was immediately discouraged, what was originally a very serious matter has now become a game to play with my children. It's not bad to think about it, with such a clever ghost by your side, maybe you can come up with some good ideas.

When Bei Bei and I were fine, we guarded the Buddhist hall full of paintings, watching when the cat would come, and mastering its routine. We stared at it for a day, and after a long time, I admired this kid a little, Bei Bei looked like he had ADHD, but he really wanted to do something, and he was extremely serious. The two of us hid in the office opposite the Buddha hall, and I could see the door through the window, I was a little tired of staring for a long time, but Bei Bei was still watching intently, and he also said to me, brother, if you are tired, go to rest, I will help you keep an eye on it.

How could I let a child do this, I had to fight my spirits. When she was bored, Bei Bei lowered her voice excitedly: "Brother, the cat is here." ”

Sure enough, the big gray cat named Mimi swayed step by step like visiting the vegetable market, and came to the front of the Buddha hall leisurely, the door of the Buddha hall was closed, it actually stood up, lying on the door vertically, and pulled it with its paws, the door opened a gap, and it "slipped in" and got in.

Bei Bei excitedly took my hand: "Brother, I want that cat, it's so smart." ”

I patted his little brain, my mind kept calculating, and I thought of an idea, why set a trap, this Buddha hall itself is a big trap! All I have to do is close the door and lock it, and the cat will be a turtle in an urn.

I laughed lewdly twice, and then thought of the question, if you close the door, you can trap it, but how do you catch it? Forget it, take it one step at a time, trap it first.

I waved my hand: "Little ones, follow me." ”

Bei Bei's face was red with a smile, I took his hand out of the office, we crept all the way to the door of the Buddhist hall, I made a silent gesture, we looked into the door together, the cat was indeed sitting on the futon, staring at the painting on the four-sided paper door.

I smiled, grabbed the sliding door with my hand, and slammed it shut, and the door closed immediately, and the gray cat inside was obviously aware of it, and there was a "meow".

I hurriedly said to Beibei, find something to block the door.

Bebe ran away happily, and after a short time he carried a chair over, and the child had to move it very hard, so I asked him to stare at the door, and I went over and brought the chair over, and put it on the opening and closing of the door, and used the principle of levers to push the door to death.

I suddenly realized a problem and said to Beibei, "Did you hear the cat meowing inside?" ”

Babe shook her head.

I listened closely, and there was really no cat meow in it. This cat is so cunning that it may be playing with me in an empty city, and when I open the door to check, it will run away.

Just when we were tossing, Master Green Snake and Master Wang Lan came in from the entrance of the courtyard, and the two came to visit the temple again, and when they saw me and Bei Bei here, Wang Lan smiled: "What are you two doing, one big and one small?" ”

Bei Bei said: "Grandma Wang, my brother caught a cat in it. ”

Wang Lan smiled happily: "That cat is so easy to catch?" ”

"Believe it or not, my brother locked it up." Bei Bei said anxiously.

Master Green Snake didn't speak, just smiled faintly, and said to Wang Lan, keep walking. The two walked away slowly, and Wang Lan's laughter could be heard from time to time.

I was so annoyed that I said to Beibei, you play first, I'll guard here, and I won't finish if I don't catch that cat.

Beibei took my hand, "Brother, don't hurt it, I still have to play with it." ”

I reassured him.

Bei Bei looked at the Buddha Hall reluctantly, and turned his head to leave, when I suddenly thought of something: "Bei Bei, you can help me find a sack and a stick." ”

Bei Bei nodded, and ran away like a joy.

I sat in my chair with my door against it, listening intently to the movement inside, and there was silence. Not good! Will there be another door leading to the outside? This Buddhist hall is special, the four walls are paper sliding doors, these doors may be alive, after opening I don't know where to go, maybe the cat has escaped.

I sat and waited for a long time, and Babe hadn't come yet. I really can't sit still, Bei Bei is a child after all, it is impossible to do things like an adult, where can he find those tools, I can't wait, go in and have a look.

I was about to go in, when I saw Bei Bei coming, and sure enough, he brought a sack and a stick, and I patted him on the shoulder happily: "Good boy." ”

Bei Bei whispered, "Brother, you can't hit it." ”

With a stick in my right hand and a sack in my left, I opened the mouth of the sack and gave Babe a look and told him to open the sliding door.

Beibei's nervous little face flushed, and she slowly opened the wooden door, and when it was enough for one person to enter, I shouted to stop and let him stay outside.

I was actually nervous, but I mustered up the courage to dive in.

I was dumbfounded when I entered, the Buddhist hall was empty, and the cat was gone.

I didn't dare to go over easily, standing at the door, attacking and retreating, and observing the entire Buddhist hall first. This cat is so deceitful, maybe I can't tell where it's hiding. I looked up and down, back and forth, and on the beams, but there was none.

It's a strange thing, I walked around the temple twice, and the cat disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Bei Bei poked his little head and came in: "Brother, did you catch it?" ”

I shook my head: "Strange, it's missing." ”

The two of us looked around the house, I pulled the paper sliding doors, I didn't dare to push too hard, and after pulling them, I realized that these doors were decorations, not doors, and they couldn't be opened. It's really weird, the paper paintings on all four walls are intact, where can the cat run?

When I was wondering, Bei Bei suddenly said, "Brother, come and see this." ”

Bei Bei is looking at a painting on the paper sliding door, the painting is deep in the courtyard, a lady is holding a fan to flutter butterflies, and the close-up is a pair of jade-colored butterflies, as big as a fan, up and down, as if dancing in the wind. I couldn't see any clues, so I asked what was wrong. Bei Bei pointed to the bottom of a large cluster of peony flowers, "Brother, look." ”

Behind the peony bushes, a cat's face was faintly revealed, lying on the ground very alert, with long and narrow eyes, and the expression seemed to be peeking at us.

I was shocked, I, isn't this the gray cat, how is it painting? As soon as I thought of this, I heard a cat meow in the dark, and before I could react to what was going on, a big gray cat suddenly jumped out of thin air on the paper in front of me, as if it was magic.

Bei Bei and I sat on the ground together, watched the cat leap over our heads, fluttering on the ground behind us, looked back at us, "swished" out of the crack, and disappeared.

I sat on the ground for a long time and didn't relax, Bei Bei puffed up her little hands and said happily: "It's so funny, it comes out of the painting, brother, I want to go to the painting too." ”

I rubbed my eyes, unable to believe what was happening in front of me. But I wasn't shocked to the point, after all, I had encountered similar things before, my earliest acquaintance with Liu Jiajia was because of painting, and Li Blind also taught me how to look inside into painting.

Now the situation is different, before entering the painting is to enter the introspect, the body is still outside the painting, this time it is even more mysterious, the cat can even enter the painting with the flesh, it is really like a scene hidden there in the painting, the mystery is very, unimaginable.

When I was stunned, I heard laughter behind me, and when I looked back, Bei Bei was holding Wang Lan's hand. The child was anxious, and his speech was a little stumbling: "Wang, Grandma Wang, the cat just now was hidden, in the painting." ”

Master Green Snake twisted the Buddha beads beside him, smiling without saying a word.

Wang Lan came over and pulled me up: "Frightened, right? ”

Master Green Snake said at this time: "Master Feng Shi also has a practice, so he should be able to see it without being surprised. ”

As soon as my mind moved, Master Green Snake was just that, this Wang Lan Jushi was obviously also a master, she obviously knew what was going on here. I hurriedly clasped my hands together: "Please also ask the master to teach." ”

Wang Lan Jushi took Beibei's hand and stood aside, and Master Green Snake walked to the paper door, looked at it attentively, and said, "These paintings of yours before were painted by a layman named Silver Fox. She paused and said, "He's my senior brother." “
