Chapter 018: Cats and Mice in the Same Hole

I pinched the photo, inadvertently flipped to the back, and there were eight words written on it: cat and mouse in the same hole, unlucky, leave quickly.

How did these eight words come about? Yesterday didn't come yet.

Could it be that Uncle Niu sensed the danger and left it for me before running away?

These eight words are very easy to understand, it is unlucky to appear in the same hole as a cat and mouse, you have to leave quickly, but this is impossible to happen, how can a cat and mouse be in the same hole?

I put the picture in my pocket and walked cautiously out, and as soon as one leg reached out of the house, and before I could land, I heard a terrible cat meow.

I was so frightened that I quickly withdrew my legs.

The weeds in the yard suddenly began to shake, and the cat's meows got closer and closer, and finally disappeared at the root of the east wall, and after a few moments, the weeds also stopped shaking.

I called Uncle Niu twice, but no one answered.

I took a deep breath, took a stick from the house, walked to the east wall with trepidation, looked at the weeds, and was shocked in place.

Under the hole in the east wall squatted side by side a black cat and a fat mouse, one cat and one mouse shivering, the black cat's fur exploded, and its mouth whined.

Oh my God, what's going on?

The weeds in the yard shook again, and there was a faint sound of heavy wheezing, and my scalp was numb in an instant, my legs and stomach trembled, and my voice trembled: "Who?" ”

"It's me." Uncle Niu came out of the weeds, frowned, and said, "You're not in the house, what are you doing here?" ”

I pointed to the hole at the base of the wall, "Cat and mouse are in the same hole." ”

Uncle Niu looked at the pit and laughed out loud, "What kind of cat and mouse are in the same hole, that's a cat eating a mouse." ”

"Huh?" I looked down and saw that the black cat was biting the mouse's neck viciously, and the mouse was staring at the little eyes, and it was already out of breath.

I wiped my face and thought to myself, I really saw it just now, a cat and a mouse were shaking in the hole, and the black cat didn't attack the mouse.

I went back to the house with Uncle Niu in a daze and asked him what he was doing.

He took out two hot baked cakes from his bag and handed them to me, saying, "Just now I went to Xincun to inquire about the specific location of the cemetery. ”

I chewed on the pancake and asked inarticulately, "Why don't you call me?" ”

He glared at me, "Who said I didn't call you, I asked you specifically, you said you want to sleep, don't go out." ”

I scratched my head, embarrassed, "I slept so soundly." ”

Uncle Niu didn't say anything more, and sat down to the side to sort out the rune paper in his bag.

I bowed my head thoughtfully, and the doubts in my heart deepened.

I sleep lightly, and I can wake up with a little movement, not to mention that in this kind of place, as long as Uncle Niu calls me, I will get up and go with him no matter how sleepy and tired I am.

So, I can be sure that he didn't call me.

So why did he lie to me?

I glanced at the pocket of the photo without a trace, Uncle Niu didn't mention this stubble when he came back, indicating that eighty percent of the words on the photo were not written by him.

Could it be that while I was sleeping, someone came in quietly, tore up the photo, and wrote on it?

Thinking of this, my heart instantly lifted.

The purpose of the person who left the letter for me to leave was obvious, to prevent us from digging graves, and Uncle Niu was bent on digging graves.

Could it be that there is some hidden secret in the graveyard?

In the end, I decided to follow Uncle Niu to the cemetery according to the previous plan, and now the top priority is to make up the Wuyue Formation first.

At ten o'clock in the evening, I set off with Uncle Niu to the cemetery, and I was in good spirits, for fear that something would happen on the road.
