76 No Shadow (Updated June 19)
The cat can't be taken away because it's dead. It didn't want to be seen before it died, and went to the cemetery alone.
Stretch a smile and play the flute, can calm the soul, kind, gentle, and understand the words of small animals.

The grave keeper pushed open the wooden door of the house, and with a creak, the door opened, and the candlelight flickered in the room.
Then I saw the cow cat at the door meowing, and in the middle of the night, it was quiet all around, and it suddenly crowed, and there was an echo in the silent suburban night, which seemed extraordinarily long.
This room is just a hallway, the space is about ten square meters, there is a set of tables and chairs on the right hand, the front is a screen, there is a cabinet against the wall on the left side of the screen, around the screen seems to be a corridor leading to the inside, want to walk into the house inside.
I took out the contract, flipped out the photo of the cat, and compared it with the flashlight of my mobile phone, and it was indeed exactly the same. The problem is that the old man's family lives in the old town in the center of the city, and this cat has run so far on foot that it sounds a bit mysterious.
"It ...... itself Coming? I scratched my head, turned off my flashlight and put away the contract, trying to get closer to the cat.
The cat was very old, its eyes were a little cloudy, and its beard was nearly a centimeter long, a bit like an old man. But the movement was very sensitive, and when he sensed that I was approaching, he got up and turned his head and ran away without a trace.
I watched in a daze, and ran into the back room, but I didn't dare to go inside.
The grave keeper smiled, "Come in and sit, I just need to wash my face." It was windy tonight, and there was a little dirt blowing on my face. With that, he went up to the second floor.
I sat on a chair in the doorway, and the place was actually quite large, and the house was a typical old-fashioned building. But there is no antique furniture inside, it is all old second-hand furniture, plain and tidy, but also clean.
The Cantonese food at night was very fresh, and my throat was dry and I wanted to drink water, but the grave keeper was not there, and I was embarrassed to run around.
The grave keeper returned not long after he went, wiping his face with a square towel and carrying a wooden barrel. "I don't have water or electricity here, are you thirsty? This is the water from the well, and it's quite sweet. β
It was just in time for the rain, so I quickly thanked him, took the barrel, and he went to a nearby cupboard to fetch me a white porcelain bowl, and poured most of the bowl in it.
I picked up the bowl and poured three bowls into my stomach, and suddenly I felt that my internal organs were moist.
It is a calf to say that Nongfu Spring is a little sweet, but this well water is really sweet. I drank five bowls in a row, and I felt like I was going to burp, and my stomach was full and a little cold, so I put down the bowl.
"Your water is so delicious! Quench your thirst! "Actually, it's not very hot at night, and it's a little cooler when the wind blows, but it's a salvation to come to such a bowl of water when your mouth is dry.
The grave keeper smiled and took the empty bowl.
At this moment I happened to be eye-catching with him, and although the candlelight was faint and dim, I was still firmly shaken.
I just drank water, and I didn't look at it, thinking that the grave keeper who was dressed like a sanitation worker must be an old man in his forties and fifties, but I didn't expect it to be in his early thirties, and he was a guy with a very gentle face who made people look very good.
His face didn't have a little sharpness, revealing a taste of indisputability, like a loose cultivator who cultivated immortals. To use an inappropriate example to describe it, it is to describe a woman who is dusty and unclean.
The clothes he was wearing before had a hat, and half of his face was gone, and of course I couldn't see anything, but now as soon as he took off his coat, he wore an old man's vest and big boxers, revealing a lean and sturdy figure and an extremely clean face, which immediately amazed me.
It's not that this person's facial features are good-looking, the facial features are good-looking or pure, and the genes of the demon spirit are more bullish, mainly because of the kind of friendly and gentle temperament, which makes people unconsciously want to get close to him.
"Dude, are you an immortal cultivator?" I stared at the big accident in front of me in a daze, and he blinked, not understanding what I meant.
"I'm all dead people here, how can I cultivate immortals?" The grave keeper couldn't get my slot, so he answered me seriously. He didn't dislike the empty bowl I had drunk, but poured the last bit of water left at the bottom of the barrel and drank it all in one gulp.
"Let's go back to the cat you're looking for, it might not be very convenient to go back with you." He put the bowl down, sat down on the chair next to me, and looked at me calmly.
Before I could argue anything, I saw the cat run out again, standing under the candlestick next to the floor-to-ceiling screen, sitting like an old monk in meditation.
"Where is it injured and inconvenient to walk? I can hold it and ride it back. β
The grave keeper sighed, "You come with me." β
After speaking, he took me around the screen and walked through a ten-meter corridor, with a fence on the left and a small lotus pond on the right.
At the end of the corridor, there is a formal living room, and there is a much larger courtyard, an ancient well is quietly located in the corner, and there is a rattan swing next to it, which looks extremely warm.
Further inside, there is the master's bedroom and the maid's room in the backyard.
The backyard is actually a vegetable patch, behind the door is a large bamboo forest, and beyond that, there is the cemetery next door.
The grave keeper told me that this house was the original exhibition garden, and when it was first liberated, he considered providing water, electricity and gas, but he did not want the house to be moved, for fear that it would not be able to maintain the original quiet. Out of respect, the house was preserved as it was.
Therefore, the house is an authentic old-fashioned building, and even the way of eating and drinking Lazar is quite conservative.
The vegetables for eating are planted by themselves, the water for drinking is made in the well, the toilet is a thatched house, and the crops can be irrigated, and the grains are reincarnated.
Doesn't that sound like a special paradise?
As long as you can ignore where it's located, it's a pristine experience.
Strictly speaking, the house is sandwiched between two cemeteries, which is quite technical.
Seeing that my expression was a little indescribable, the grave keeper did not explain anything, but pointed to a small mound next to the vegetable patch, on which flowers and wooden planks were inserted. There were no words on the board, and a cat's head was carved with a black spot on its forehead, the same as that of the cow cat.
I suddenly understood something. Turning around, we looked back and saw that the cow cat was following us, and the moonlight was shining down, and it had no shadow.
"This cat...... Already? He's dead? β
The grave keeper nodded, his expression a little more serious, "It came a few days ago, and I knew it was not good when I came." β
After saying that, he and I passed face to face, squatted down and touched the cat, "Cats are animals that avoid their owners before they die, so as not to cause trouble to people." He must not have wanted his master to be upset, and he came to me by himself after running so far from the city center. β
I was still stunned, and the grave keeper said lightly, "Actually, I was quite surprised that you could see it." β
The blood in my whole body was a little frozen, and I felt that my scalp was numb and my brain was overcharged, and I thought about it carefully, as if I had seen the fat man's reaction in the afternoon, and he really didn't see the cat.
