"yes—but I don't think cats eat people. It was supposed that other more ferocious animals ate them, and it just so happened that the dog meat shop had a cat, and the cat had some sticky hair when it crawled over. Miss Tie said.

"I hope so." Daddy's brows furrowed.

After a few days of preparation, Daddy finally waited for fifteen.

On the afternoon of the fifteenth, Miss Tie's men took down Wei Jiaquan, who was resting in the hotel. Grandpa changed into Wei Jiaquan's clothes, led his dog and rushed to the Liu family's dog meat restaurant in the north of the city.

When I arrived at the Liu family's dog meat restaurant, my father found that the security here was really tight. The dog meat restaurant is guarded on all sides, and there are dogs patrolling the bridge. Those people were all bears and tigers, and they carried earthen guns on their shoulders. The only exception was the man standing in the doorway, his face pale and bloodless, his hands and feet as thin as sticks, his sleeves and trouser legs looking empty, and his hands as slender and wrinkled as birds' claws.

His way of checking does not seem to be equal to the vigilance outside. He didn't ask for the name of the ghost dealer, nor did he check if the ghost dealer had a weapon on him, but just looked at the dog he was holding and waved people in. He was forgiven for doing so. The ghost dealers will encounter all kinds of unforeseen accidents on the way to Baoding, and there are many internal strife, so there are many newcomers among the ghost dealers here every year. In the face of different faces every year, it is naturally difficult to easily distinguish whether the person who comes is real or fake. Therefore, the only way to identify it is to confirm that the dog is indeed a Horcrux with a soul.

Daddy didn't know what the man relied on to distinguish between a dog with a spirit and an ordinary dog. But the man's eyes were indeed as cold and arrogant as eagle's eyes, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

Grandpa remembered that Miss Tie had said that she could see a person's momentum, and she felt that the most imposing and terrifying thing for her was her father's eyes.

The eyes of this gatekeeper are terrifying, and even if it is a experienced grandfather, he can't help but secretly worry that he will see through it. Grandpa thought to himself, I don't know how cold and stunning Miss Tie's father's eyes are?

The ghost dealers in front of the queue were put in one by one by the man, and it was finally Daddy's turn.

Daddy Bridge's dog walked up to the man.

The man looked at the dogs, then glanced at his father.

Grandpa was immediately shocked by his eagle-like eyes, which were very strong, as if the surrounding air was condensed. Daddy felt a chill to the bone! It's as if a bird sees an eagle, as if a mouse sees a cat. It was the only time in my grandfather's life that he was shocked by someone's gaze.

When my grandfather talked about my father's memory, I didn't understand why my father was shocked by a person's gaze. Children are afraid of their father's anger, students are afraid of teachers' contempt, the weak are afraid of the revenge's hatred, and those with low self-esteem are afraid of the contempt of their friends. But after all, the eyes have no direct lethality, and it is impossible for people to be scared to that extent. What's more, Grandpa is not a timid person.

After listening to my grandfather's story, more than ten years later, I suddenly realized how my grandfather felt at that time.

Because I encountered it once more than a decade later.

That time I was on my way to work. The road was next to a large hospital, and I was walking on the sidewalk with cars coming and going. Just around the corner, a man appeared in front of him, about fifty years old, of medium height, with a large back, smooth and shiny hair, and wearing a suit. When I first saw him, he was facing away from me, as if waiting for someone or waiting for a bus.

I don't know why, but when I saw his back, I chuckled and wanted to walk around.

But the subconscious mind told me that in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, how could I have this kind of mentality? So I didn't listen to my sixth sense and kept walking, getting closer and closer to the man.

About five or six meters away from the man, the man suddenly turned around, his face was pale, and his eyes were sunken in deep sockets. For some reason, his eyes were staring straight at me, as sharp as a knife!

I was swept by his gaze and immediately felt a huge chill rushing over my face! I couldn't help but shiver, and immediately got goosebumps on my body. It was summer, and the morning sun was quite hot, but I was so cold that I almost had to hug my arms.

I was scared, but I didn't know what I was afraid of.

After arriving at the unit, I still felt cold, and even wanted to add a jacket, but when I looked at the colleagues in short clothes and short sleeves around me, they were all hot and sweaty.

When I got home that night, I had one of the worst ghost presses in my life.

I've had nightmares before, and I can hear the sounds of people talking and moving around me, but I just can't get up and feel like I can't move. But this time it was not the case. I distinctly felt my wrists and ankles being pressed against each other, not the whole thing. Even when I raised my hand, I was pushed back by a force.

I knew I couldn't be afraid, I couldn't give in, so I roared in my dreams to strengthen my courage. In fact, my roar was suppressed, and I could only make a faint sound even if I tried my best. But I kept yelling, trying to break free.

I've never been afraid of ghost presses, because I can break free from them very quickly. But this time, I fought hard for a long time, and the suppressive power on my hands and feet did not disappear. And I felt more and more tired, almost running out of strength.

Just as I was about to give in, and for the first time in my life I thought about giving in in a nightmare, I heard a shout.

"Phew!"

It was like a sudden cry when the singing martial arts shook his feet, short and loud.

The force pressing on my hands and feet disappeared.

I woke up and saw the windows wide open and the curtains blown by the wind. Although I couldn't see anything outside, I felt something hiding outside my window, watching me there.

I have never been afraid of evil things, even if I wake up in a nightmare, I can go back to sleep, even if the nightmare continues, I believe that I can repel it again in my dream.

But this time, I was a little scared and hurriedly turned on the lamp next to the bed.

Looking around, the wardrobe, desk, computer, kettle, and chair are all quietly in place, and there is no suspicious shadow. I don't know what it was just scolding.

I got up and went to close the windows and close the curtains. I know it's a sign of weakness. I used to sleep in the wilderness without the slightest fear.

When I returned to the bed, I sat on the head of the bed for a while, remembering that my grandfather was gone, that my grandmother was gone, that my grandfather was old and weak, and that my tears had not fallen, but my heart had already cried.

For a moment, I felt like I had lost my protection.

I guess I'm still too vulnerable. When his grandfather lost the opportunity to take the imperial examination, when he encountered all kinds of difficulties in his travels, when he found that his father's time was short, when he was looking for millet, when he saw millet at the wedding, when he lost Zhao Xianyun, and when he was driven out of the old house of the Ma family, who had lived for several generations, how could he ever need protection?

My grandfather didn't tell me if my grandfather had a nightmare after being scanned by the eagle eye at the Liu family's dog meat restaurant, and whether he woke up in the middle of the night. I think people who are as strong as him and kind as him should not have nightmares and not wake up in the middle of the night. But not necessarily, many people have unknown vulnerabilities behind their strength. That's how Xiaomi is.

Xiaomi looked at her grandfather who was being inspected in front of the dog meat restaurant from a distance, and asked Miss Tie worriedly: "Miss Tie, Ma Xiucai won't be recognized at the door, right?" ”

Miss Tie comforted: "Don't be afraid that you can't get in, we have a lot of helpers lurking outside." I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out after I get in. This comfort doesn't sound like comfort.

The man glanced at his grandfather and asked, "What about Wei Jiaquan's people?" ”

Grandpa was shocked and guessed that he must have recognized this as Wei Jiaquan's dog. It's not good to remember a person's face, but a dog who only looks at it for half a year can recognize it, and this eyesight is incredible.

Grandpa hurriedly calmed down and replied, "He was sick when he was in Cangzhou, and he couldn't walk here, so he asked me to come over and help him trade." "Grandpa originally wanted to say that Wei Jiaquan stopped in Cangzhou, but he thought that Miss Tie's people could keep an eye on the ghost dealer's every move, and Zesheng's people could also do it. If you say nonsense at this time that Wei Jiaquan stopped in Cangzhou and did not come to Baoding, maybe he will be recognized by the other party, it is better to say that he has arrived in Baoding.

Grandpa deliberately said that Wei Jiaquan was sick in Cangzhou, in order to create the illusion that he had come all the way here with Wei Jiaquan, so that the other party would think that he was Wei Jiaquan's trusted friend.

The man waved his hand and motioned for Daddy to come in.

In the distance, Mi and Miss Tie both breathed a sigh of relief.

After Dad went in, he found that the furnishings in this dog meat restaurant looked like a small theater or cross talk hall. It is unknown whether this kind of decoration was specially renovated for tonight.

The ghost dealers who had already come in sat down.

Grandpa was worried about meeting Boss Wei and his gang, so he chose a very remote position to sit down. Fortunately, the whole hall is not well lit, and it seems that the organizers did it on purpose.

Several dogs that originally belonged to Wei Jiaquan have found out that they have changed owners, but they don't bark or roar. Dogs are very faithful animals and are very difficult to change once they recognize their owners. If they don't bark or roar, they don't immediately submit to their father, but that their father learned dumb dog skills from Shen Yulin, so that they can't make a sound.

Daddy sat idly for a while when he heard a squeaky sound overhead. When I looked up, I saw that the bamboo slippers were already perched on the beams of the house.

Daddy nodded to see it, but it still squeaked and behaved abnormally.

Daddy coughed twice and signaled it not to make noise.

The bamboo slipper finally stopped barking, but its original fluffy hairy roots stood upright, like a hedgehog.

Daddy knew that it would only do that when it was scared. Daddy thought to himself, what did it find? Could it be the ferocious animal that Miss Tie said can eat people into bloody skeletons? Dogs eat bones, and it's certainly not dogs that bite people. Could it be that there are other evil spirits and beasts here?
