Chapter 8: The Evil Cat (I)
When Wolf Seven and I returned to the village again, so everyone was stunned, and the so-called gossip was self-defeating, the most shocking of them was Grandpa and a few old people in the village, of course, they were shocked by the old man who came back with the two of us, my grandfather stepped forward to take me and Wolf Qi, and looked at the old man deeply for a long time before saying: Why did you go down the mountain?
The old man who hugged the two of us smiled bitterly and said: I didn't expect your grandsons to be so old, these two children are really bold, they dare to go into the mountains to catch evil cats, they are really heroes and heroes, and none of the Lao Bu family is a bad breed.
My grandfather didn't speak when he heard this, and I don't know whether this strange old man's words were positive or derogatory. My grandfather put me and Wolf Qi on the ground, asked my father to take us home first, and then pulled the old man aside and said: What is the evil cat you just said, why is there a moth in this village that has only been quiet for a few years?
The old man sighed and said: Who knows, if I hadn't been bumped into tonight, it is estimated that your old cloth family would have cut off the incense, it seems that this is not a good sign, tomorrow you should take someone up the mountain to find it, this evil cat is not a good thing, it seems that the village will not be peaceful.
Bah! Bah! Bah! My grandfather vomited a few times on the ground and said: Don't say these frustrating words, besides, there are you in the village, I'm still afraid of a ball, when Lao Yuan entrusted you to me, you can still see death or not.
The strange old man said with a wry smile: Yes, I owe you a great favor from your village, and it's time to pay it back.
That night, my grandfather and several old people in the village, plus the members of the village committee, came to my house, and my house became very lively for a while, and I and Wolf Qi were still sleeping, we were lying on the windowsill and looking out, at this time my grandfather was holding a meeting for everyone, including my unobtrusive father. I only heard my grandfather stand at the front and say to everyone: Folks! I think you still remember that incident ten years ago.
The villagers didn't know why, when they heard that their faces had changed ten years ago, and the bodies of several elderly people were still trembling, as if they had touched their sadness. Below was silent, I patted my grandmother behind me and said: What happened to grandma ten years ago.
Grandma's face was not good at this time, and she didn't say anything after hitting me.
The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense, and my grandfather saw that everyone did not speak, so he continued: "Ten years ago, everyone may not have forgotten, although that incident has passed, but now there is another accident in the village, just tonight, my grandson and the adopted son of the village chief's family, the two met a strange cat, this cat has two tails. Folks, I don't say that you also know, where there is a difference must be a demon, the cat with two tails must have become a demon, and now the evil cat has appeared, it is estimated that it will bring disaster to our village, folks, if you don't want to play the things of ten years ago, then we will start tomorrow, and there will be people in the family who will go into the mountains to catch cats, do you have any comments?
Everyone was shocked when they heard Grandpa mention what happened ten years ago, but they didn't expect that now there will be an evil cat again, and everyone is whispering below. My unobtrusive father stood up and said, "Dad! Xiao Ye and Wolf Qi are not blind, will it be an ordinary cat, children are easy to lie, I think we should investigate it clearly.
My grandfather heard my unobtrusive dad say such a thing, if it weren't for the fact that people would have gone over too early to fly their feet. At this time, several elderly people in the village stood up and said: Everyone is quiet, what Lao Bu said just now is true, we can pack a ticket for this, if you don't want to play what happened ten years ago, then listen to Lao Bu, go into the mountain tomorrow to find the cat.
The people below heard a few older people say this, and this is considered to be quiet, and my grandfather's words are finished, so they let everyone go back, and gather at the entrance of the village tomorrow morning, hoping that everyone will tell each other.
After everyone dispersed, my father stood at the door with a cigarette in his mouth and didn't know what he was thinking, at this time my grandfather walked over and kicked my father's ass, kicking my father in a daze, only to hear my grandfather say: I tell you, in the future, your broken mouth will be nonsense, be careful that I will cripple you.
My dad looked at my grandfather innocently and said: What's wrong with me, it was supposed to be, what can the two little hairy children see, I think you are the calf protector, in case this thing is fake, see how you explain it then. My grandfather was already on fire, and when he heard my dad say this, he suddenly became even more angry, and when he raised his foot and took off his shoes, he was going to beat my father.
My father saw that things were not going well, so he ran into the house and locked the door. My grandfather scolded and scolded into the house, at this time my mother closed the window and was going to sleep, tonight the wolf seven lived in my house, at this time the wolf seven had fallen asleep, maybe just tired, and I couldn't sleep, I saw the grandmother on the side was also doing needlework, so I leaned over and said: Grandma, you tell me a story.
My grandmother smiled, looked at me, put down the work in her hand, held me in her arms and said, "What story do we little evil want to hear?" I thought about it and said, "Grandma, who is the old man who rescued me in the back mountain today, can you tell me about it?" When my grandmother heard me ask this question, her face changed and she said, "Don't keep asking, children.
No, I just want to know, grandma, tell me about it.
My grandmother couldn't think about me for a while and said: That old man no one knows what his name is, he has been here for many years, he was brought by your grandfather Yuan from outside, until now I still remember, that winter, your grandfather Yuan brought back an old man from outside, the old man was dressed in tatters, like a flower, after your grandfather Yuan led the old man to my house, when he saw your grandfather, he knelt down for your grandfather and said to your grandfather that the village wanted to take in this old man. At that time, your grandfather didn't know what was going on, after helping your grandfather Yuan up, and then a few people came into the house and talked for a long time, no one knew what they talked about, in short, my family owes you a great favor to your grandfather Yuan, if it weren't for your grandfather Yuan, your father would have died a long time ago, so your grandfather can't ignore it, no way! At that time, your grandfather summoned several villagers with relatively high seniority in the village to come to my house for a meeting, and finally everyone decided to let him go to the back mountain to guard the temple of the immortals, since he arrived in the back mountain, he has never come out, I don't know why he actually went down the mountain today, how to say that he also saved the lives of you and the wolf Qiyi, Xiaoxie, you have to remember, our old cloth family wants to know the grace of the picture to know.
I nodded, and my grandmother put me down and covered the quilt, turned off the lights, and lay down beside me. But at this time, I couldn't sleep, and for some reason the black cat with two tails always appeared in my head.
Just when I was in a daze, I suddenly heard someone call my name, little evil, little evil.
The wolf sat up suddenly.
