Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Black Cat
The old man's face was hideous, he gritted his teeth, glared at Lingling, and wanted to take his cane to beat Lingling.
Can the old man tell that Lingling is a demon? Or is it sick and talking nonsense?
The village chief repeatedly said sorry to us, and we were kicked out by the village chief's father.
On the way back, I couldn't help but say, "Lingling, you have already caught that cat child, why did you escape from your arms?" ”
Lingling smiled mysteriously, "I deliberately let it go." ”
"Huh?" I was stunned, "Deliberately let it go?" We finally caught the child, and you deliberately let it go? ”
Ling Ling said, "I held the child in my arms at that time, and found that the child did not have any demonic energy, it could not be a demon at all, so I thought...... These things are not that simple, I have injected my demonic energy into the child, and I can find him wherever the child flees. ”
"Oh?" It turned out that Lingling had already made arrangements, and I said, "What do you mean? Someone is behind this? You have to know that after the child escaped. Where did it go? ”
"Yes." Ling Ling said, "I have seen Liang Caiyun's previous cases, during pregnancy, I did several B ultrasounds, and the child was fine, but the child had problems at birth, since there was no problem." After the child was born, there was a problem. ”
"Every time a child is born, there are night cats worshipping and burning incense, and I am afraid that someone will plan this later, or it may be related to what happened three years ago."
"Tonight, we'll go. Find the child. ”
Lingling's thinking is very quick and clear, and letting the child go is also Lingling's temporary decision.
I said, "Why don't you catch the child and hand it over to the horse?" Senior Ma will definitely give us a solution, like this...... Wouldn't it be better? ”
Lingling said: "I have been with the master for more than four months, I have learned a lot of things, nothing can be solved by the master, the master is very busy, the master said, if you want to be normal, many things, you have to deal with it yourself, do it yourself, if you encounter a predicament, you can find the master." ”
"Otherwise, everything depends on the master, how can it be done?"
"Besides, our business this time is to go to the Medicine King, we can check the matter here, but if we can't find out, we will finish our own business first."
Lingling has indeed matured a lot, and he is no longer the simple child he used to be, and it seems that he has indeed learned a lot in the past few months.
So, we went back to Han Dongzhu's house, took the supplies, and prepared to go, the spirit came, the child fled in the direction of the mountain, and we were going to the mountain to find the medicine king, just on the way.
As soon as he packed his luggage and went out, Han Dongzhu in the back followed.
"I'll go with you." Han Dongzhu said, "You are not familiar with the mountains, the map you are holding is a map from decades ago, and there are no signs in many places, so I will show you the way." ”
I didn't expect Han Dongzhu to go with us.
"Oh?" I said, "Don't you have to take care of your wife and children?" ”
Han Dongzhu said, "I also want to know the truth, in the hospital, my brother and my brother-in-law both want to find the child, no matter what the child is, it is their child, besides, there are so many things happening in the village, the two of them are helping to solve it, how can we villagers stand idly by?" ”
Before, when we visited each villager, we offered to let the villagers help lead the way, but no one was willing to go, and now Han Dongzhu has come forward, and we are very pleased.
Han Dongzhu went to the kitchen and carried a few large pot helmets, which were made by his wife, and also took bacon and pickles, and brought a machete and axe.
Han Dongzhu took out two military coats and down jackets from the box and handed them to us, saying that it was cold in the mountains at night, and asked us to bring them for spare.
The three of us hit the road and went all the way up the road. There were crops everywhere, and there were many small footprints on the road, which were left by the child.
"The child is very sane," said Lingling, "and he did not flee from the surrounding fields, but went up the road, and tonight, we must find the child." ”
We climbed a few small hills, walked through a withered jungle, and by about four o'clock in the morning, we were really tired, found a small wood, drank some water, and set up a simple tent to rest.
It was very cold in the mountains, and from time to time there were bursts of strange cries of night insects in the depths of the woods, and I slept for hours in a daze, and was woken up by the spirit.
After dawn, we continued to walk into a dense forest, Han Dongzhu told us that we could walk through the forest in about four hours, and that there were occasional snakes and insects in this forest, so we should be careful.
The weeds on the ground are not high, but there are no roads everywhere, and if I come with Lingling, I may get lost, Han Dongzhu said that when he was a child, he often came here with his father to catch some rabbits and go back to appetize.
He was familiar with the place.
After more than four hours, we walked out of the forest. Then there was a wasteland, and the spirit responded to the child's position and walked to the east.
Han Dongzhu said, "From here, ten kilometers away, there is a canyon over there, and there are stinky puddles everywhere. The road is hard to walk. ”
Sure enough, we walked along the winding road to the end, and there was a small canyon in front of us, because of the rain all year round, there were many stinky puddles, and some weeds and vines grew around these puddles.
There are frogs and crickets all around.
But. We went into the canyon, but went around the left side of the canyon, and the child did not escape from this way.
Han Dongzhu said, "There is no road over there, it is a cliff, and if you go up the edge of the cliff, you are blocked by the mountain." ”
No road? We looked at the map. There's really no road over there.
"Let's go and see, and the boy has fled over there." ”
Han Dongzhu asked puzzledly, "How do you know the child's escape route?" ”
Ling Ling smiled: "I'm a mage, so naturally there is a way to find it." ”
Han Dongzhu didn't ask much, we stepped on the weeds and yellow leaves, there were many large and small stones on the road, and occasionally a few scattered big trees. The air around is very dry, and the smell of stinky gutters can be heard in the distance.
After more than half an hour, we reached the end, a wasteland, with unfathomable cliffs in front of us, deep ravines on the left, and mountains on the right. There are no roads in the three directions, only the one we came from.
Han Dongzhu said, "If you want to go deep into the mountain, you have to enter the canyon, in fact, there is still a lot of fertile land on the canyon, but there is no water source, and there are too many ditches in the canyon." The road is too difficult to walk, otherwise, no matter how far it is, we will all grow crops. ”
"So, for so many years, the villagers rarely went deep into the mountains, except for those who wanted to hunt. Go once in a while. ”
Ling Ling's brows tightened, "I sensed that the kid was nearby, within five hundred meters of us, in the direction of the top of the mountain. ”
The mountain and the ground are 120 degrees, with the highest point being more than 200 meters and the lowest point being 40 or 50 meters. There are a lot of weeds and trees on the mountain.
I asked, "Is it possible to take a detour here?" ”
"No, you can't." Han Dongzhu said, "This is a big mountain, there is no road to go up, of course, there is a long ladder of more than 50 meters to go up, but no one is idle to go up." ”
Ling Ling said, "We don't have a 50-meter ladder, and we can't bring it here, but we still have a 50-meter rope. ”
Han Dongzhu said, "You can't go up even if you have a rope, are you sure the child is on it?" How is it possible to climb the mountain from here? ”
Ling Ling smiled mysteriously, "Of course I have a way. ”
I took the backpack off and pulled a large roll of hemp rope from inside. Lingling put hemp rope on his shoulders and tied it to his waist.
Lingling took off her shoes and socks and walked to the mountain wall.
Next, an astonishing scene emerged.
Lingling directly grabbed the rocks protruding from the mountain wall, and slowly climbed upwards without any assistance!
"Oh my God, this ......" Han Dongzhu looked stupid. The surface of this stone is so smooth, how can it be grasped? ”
I was also stunned, and my hands and feet seemed to be able to stick to the rocky mountain wall, which reminded me of Spider-Man.
Lingling is a snake demon, and the snake has the ability to attach to the mountain wall and swim from the mountain wall, perhaps. This is the instinctive power of the spirit.
Watching Lingling move forward slowly, Han Dongzhu and I were amazed, and after seven or eight minutes, Lingling had already climbed up.
Soon, a roll of rope was dropped, and Lingling told us to tie the rope to our bodies and tie our bodies. She dragged us and she could pull us up.
Ling Ling's words made Han Dongzhu even more suspicious, is it possible to drag a person weighing more than one hundred and fifteen from fifty meters?
In Han Dongzhu's suspicion, I had already tied myself up and wrapped the rope around me five times, feeling like a zongzi.
Then, I grabbed the rope and stepped on the mountain wall to go up step by step, it was so difficult that I couldn't climb up on my own, and soon, there was a strong force from the rope, and my body moved half a meter at once.
Lingling's strength is so great!
I successfully reached the top, above which was a large wasteland more than 20 meters wide, with mountains of varying heights on the left and right sides, and a large area of woods could be faintly seen in the distance.
Next, Ling Ling pulled Han Dongzhu up.
After Han Dongzhu came up, he looked at Lingling with a shocked expression, as if he was looking at a monster.
Lingling put on his shoes, and the three of us rested for a while. Keep going.
It was already evening, and the setting sun on the horizon had covered the mountain peaks with a beautiful sunset.
"Meow!"
We had just walked a few steps when suddenly, a black cat sprang out more than twenty meters away.
The black cat barked a few times in our direction, baring its teeth, as if demonstrating to us.
"Let's go!" Lingling rushed over.
The black cat barked a few more times, then turned and fled. Disappeared into the grass not far away.
We searched for a moment, and the black cat disappeared without a trace.
Ling Ling said, "Isn't that black cat just now very familiar?" ”
I thought for a moment, "What do you mean...... The black cat that we saw twice before in front of the temple burning incense? ”
