Chapter 4: Awakening
During the lunch break that day, the big black cat slept lazily beside me, as if he knew that he was about to separate, and he was particularly sticky to me. And I lay like an old opium smoker, with one hand on my head, and one hand free to scratch the big black cat's chin. The big black cat will enjoy it, tilting its face, purring in its throat, turning its face around, and asking for a 360° tickle. Seeing the big black cat enjoying it so much, I couldn't help but feel lonely for a while, I am afraid that I will never be able to touch such a soft double chin again, and it has a layer of fur feel.
"Big black cat, big black cat, what do you do after you say I'm gone? With three elderly people, especially my grandfather, there will be no food and clothing. You're fat, oily and slippery, but I don't know how long you've been raised, if you lose weight, it's too ugly! "I was talking to myself as I imagined the big black cat turning into a thin man, it was so ugly, so ugly!
"Look in the mirror and see yourself!" Suddenly a sentence popped up!
I heard this very well, but I was alone in the room!
I sat up in fright, who was talking just now?
The right hand pretended to pull over the quilt naturally, and the left hand grasped the pillow tightly. If you encounter something, there will always be something you can fight back. His eyes looked around every corner of the room, lowered his head, and asked the big black cat in a low voice, "Did you hear someone just talk?" ”
The big black cat looked at me with an expression like a retarded person: "You just said I was ugly? ”
I was so shocked! The big black cat actually spoke, is she a human or a ghost?
"It's not that I can speak, it's that you can understand me. Besides, I'm neither a human nor a ghost, but an old cat. The big black cat meowed lazily a few times and yawned, "I'm sleepy, go to sleep first." ”
She said that she really slept when she slept, and the next second she began to make a slight snoring sound, leaving me with a shocked face.
Do you want to tell your grandmother, they won't think I have a fever and burn my brain, do I have special functions, or do big black cats have special functions?
In a flash of inspiration, I suddenly felt that I was mentally retarded, and I would know if I went out to find a dog!
The yellow dog of the second brother's house has the best relationship with me, so try it. The adults were resting at this point, and I tiptoed out of the door and quietly came to the courtyard of Second Brother Yu's house, and there was no one. It seems that Second Brother Yu was cleaned up enough because of what happened last time, and he was not allowed to wander around the yard at noon.
I whispered, "Ah Huang, Ah Huang..." I saw a yellow shadow burst out of the corner of the house like a sword from the string, and pounced on me, knocking me on my back. Ah Huang whined and screamed in a low and rapid voice, his buttocks were round and his tail was swinged, his tongue licked my face and hands, I stabilized Ah Huang's head with both hands, lay on the ground and asked it, "Ah Huang, can you speak?" ”
"Yueqing, Yueqing, Yueqing, you're coming to play with me again, I'm missing you so much." Ah Huang said happily.
I was surprised, delighted and excited, and I could really understand the meaning of animals! asked Ah Huang: "Where did Second Brother Yu go?" As a result, Ah Huang looked at me with a puzzled expression, his head tilted around, as if he didn't quite understand what I said. I slapped my head, stupid! Of course the dog can't understand people, and it's not me!
Excitedly running home, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the living things in the house: flies, mosquitoes, spiders, cockroaches, and even the frogs by the pond...... But I can only weakly feel their mood swings, thinking that these animals are too low-level and have not evolved the intelligence of cats and dogs.
At this time, the big black cat woke up slowly, and I happily caught her, ready to ask 12345 to come out. She was excited when she saw me, and she didn't slip away. He squatted calmly on the ground and said to me, "Your eyes are open, don't you know?" "It doesn't matter if I know it, how do you know?" You're still not a cat anymore? "That's when I realized that this big black cat was too smart.
"I'm not a cat, can I still be a dog? If you don't pull a few stupid days a day, you still have to save you, and give me less of the whole thing in the future! The deity's body was about to run out...... "She realized that what she had said was exposed, and turned to run. I also heard that something was wrong with the words, so I grabbed it quickly and asked it, "You came to save me?" I believe you are a cat, I am mentally retarded, say it! Who are you. Otherwise, I'll let my grandmother cut off your meat!" ”
The big black cat was pressed to the ground by me, unable to move, his eyes turned to the bone, and he confessed: "Life can be wanted, meat must not be missing." If I don't have enough to eat, how can you let me live? "It's okay to spare your dog's life!" As soon as I thought it was wrong, it was a cat, so I changed my words and said, "It's okay to spare your life, but you have to tell your secrets one by one, and you can't say a word less!" ”
The big black cat didn't resist, but the look in my eyes wasn't quite right, and there was a hint of complicated feelings in his cunning. Then he said slowly: "You know the dragon vein, I was a blue-faced fox growing in the dragon vein, nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, cultivating some Taoism, since you were born, I calculated that you and I have a fate in my life, so I stayed near your home, I wanted to wait for you to grow up, but I didn't expect to meet your mother The monk did not leave, and he took down a fight, and he actually said that he wanted to take me to temper the soul!" Fate should not be extinguished, it happened that a black cat passed by, so I took advantage of the monk's inattention, escaped into the black cat's body and fell asleep, and went back and forth to practice for a great loss, and I could only intimidate the surrounding cats and dogs, snakes, rats, insects and ants. Speaking of which, the root of all this is because of you! So I strongly ask for more dinner tonight, and I will consider forgiving you with two pieces of big fat! ”
I saw that this big black cat was flamboyant, so I wanted to tease it: "Haha, there is no fatty meat, but there is a plate of fried meat with golden sticks, do you want to eat it?" ”
"How can there be such a thing as you, last time I was kind enough to save you, there was no credit and hard work, but I didn't expect it to be able to exchange two pieces of meat." The big black cat complained.
As soon as I thought about it, I let go of it: "It's okay to add meat, mine is for you to eat, do you have a name?" ”
When the big black cat heard that there was meat to eat, his eyes lit up, and he completely lost his previous cold posture, and said: "I used to serve a master, and she called me Angelica at that time. After my master's accident, I wandered into the mountains and became a wild fox, and no one called me that anymore......" The big black cat said, and her eyes dimmed, as if she missed her old master.
"If you're a dog, you're a good dog!" I replied thoughtlessly, and suddenly I was emotionally deficient and covered my mouth.
The big black cat, well, no, it's Angelica, didn't answer, but left sadly.
It turned out that the black cat was hiding a blue-faced fox, no wonder for so many years, there was not a single snake, mouse, insect and ant near this house.
I was bored alone, took out the nameless book of the ancestor and rubbed it, the pages exuded a faint yellow luster, as if made of some kind of animal skin, soft and tough, heavy in the hand is very weighty, but the content on it is obscure, and I can't see any subtleties for a while.
A month was very fast, and it was almost over in a blink of an eye, and my grandmother babbled to pack my luggage and belongings, telling me some messy things, what diseases I had, what medicine to take, what dosage and so on. I'm done thinking to myself, I'm really a piggy! I think of the needles I used to practice, and my butt still hurts!
Angelica also became a little depressed after that day, and it ignored it when asked. But in the past few days, I have discovered some rules: a spiritual and intelligent person like Angelica can talk to it. However, Ah Huang next door can only listen to him talk to himself about the secret affairs of cats and dogs in the village. Further down, you can only feel the mood swings of the other party, such as when you run after a frog, you can feel its nervousness and fear, and when you feed the duckling, you can feel their joy and contentment.
In fact, it is a very happy thing to be able to understand the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of animals, but I never expected that this ability would almost cause a catastrophe after I went to the Northeast...... But that's another story.
The day of departure is getting closer and closer, and the words of my grandparents are becoming less and less, and it can be seen that they are very reluctant to me. My grandfather even started to learn to cook, wanting to cook a delicious meal for me when I was gone, but he probably didn't want me to leave......
The day before I left, Angelica asked me if I could take it to the Northeast. I couldn't make up my mind, and I was sitting on the edge of the pond and hesitating, when the ancestor said faintly behind me, "Take it with you, and you will have many companions on the road, so as not to be lonely." I turned around and bumped into the ancestor's dry face, the wrinkles seemed to be chiseled out with a carving knife, the eyebrows were about to fall out, the drooping eyelids covered a pair of resolute eyes, so many years of wind, frost, snow and rain have brought too much suffering to this old man, the wheel of fate did not treat her more leniently because of the kindness of the ancestor, but let her taste the joys and sorrows of the world, the ups and downs. This is the end of life, and she has to be separated from her relatives, and her fate is so unfair! I couldn't hold back the sadness in my heart, and turned around to give my ancestor a big hug.
The day will always come, and Qianyu waited at the door early on the morning of the last day. It seems that what my grandfather said to cook for me can't be realized. Qianyu carried the luggage that my grandmother packed for me in her left hand, and led me from home to the village with her right hand, while Angelica lay on my shoulder heavily, squinting, as if taking a nap. I didn't dare to look back at my grandparents and ancestors, for fear that I would be reluctant to leave as soon as I turned around, so I lowered my head and controlled the tears that flowed down.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I looked up and saw Second Brother Yu standing behind the cypress tree, looking at me with red eyes and not speaking. At this moment, I also had mixed feelings in my heart, and I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't speak, and Qianyu pulled me forward. The angelica on his shoulder asked softly, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to your second brother Yu?" I glanced back at the second brother Yu under the cypress tree, the tall tree lined with lonely people, it seemed that this scene was even more sad, I couldn't, I turned my head and walked resolutely. But I heard Second Brother Yu shouting at me behind me: "Yueqing~ If you want to come back often, I will wait for you under this cypress tree." Yueqing~Yueqing~I~Want~ You! "I miss you too, Second Brother Yu."
couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and walked behind Qianyu with blurred eyes. For the first time, the little heart really felt the cruelty of the wheel of fate that the ancestor said.
I don't know if I will see you again in this life, my ancestors have warned me countless times to look down on the feelings and thoughts in this world, which is the source of trouble. As long as he is willing, fate will try its best to use your feelings and obsessions to make you miserable. The greatest punishment is not death, but not to survive, not to die, remember.
