Chapter Twenty-Six: The Nine-Dead Cat
Wang Mengmeng's words were very abrupt and elusive, and everyone was a little puzzled, and they didn't know why she suddenly took the animal knowledge test.
Is it just to lighten the mood?
Seeing that no one answered, Wang Mengmeng simply found a vacant lot, and didn't know when she took out a piece of cotton cloth from her bag, bent over and spread it on the ground, turned around and bent her legs, and actually sat on it.
This sitting, everyone was caught off guard and stunned for a long time, until Wang Mengmeng took out a few pieces of cloth from her bag and urged them again and again, then they raised their eyes and looked at the eyes that were shining with a strange light not far away, suppressed their fear, and sat next to her together.
After they were all seated, Wang Mengmeng began to say, "Do you know cats?" ”
"Cats, I still have a few at home! That cat and I are so affectionate! Although Mr. Liao was a little scared, as soon as he opened the topic, he resumed his unrestrained surname.
Wang Mengmeng glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "Actually, you don't know cats." ”
One sentence made Mr. Liao speechless for a moment, looking at her blankly, with puzzlement in his eyes.
"You mean the ones in the back are cats?" Wang Shaoyi heard the meaning of her words and asked tentatively.
Wang Mengmeng didn't answer him directly, but said suddenly: "Animals are a very strange thing, grandpa used to teach us, but if you have animals at home, you can only raise dogs, not cats, you know why not?" ”
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
"I wonder if you've ever heard a saying, a saying about dogs and cats?" Wang Mengmeng continued to ask.
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
Wang Mengmeng likes to hang her appetite when she speaks, and Liao always gets a little impatient, supporting her knees with her hands, and sticking her neck to urge her.
Wang Mengmeng said at this time: "There is a difference between dogs and cats, the older generation has such a saying, saying that when the owner of the dog dies, it will guard the owner's body for more than a week to avoid the owner's body being damaged by other animals, and some dogs that are vaguely accompanied by the owner will keep guarding until they starve to death, similar to the owner of the cat, it will also guard the owner's body for more than a week, but it is very different." ”
Wang Mengmeng paused when she said this, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, with a hint of seeping cold light in her eyes, and then said meaningfully: "The difference is that they are watching from afar, guarding your corpse, just to confirm whether you are dead or not, and after it is confirmed, they will come up like hungry wolves and eat your corpse clean." ”
As soon as Wang Mengmeng finished speaking, everyone felt a chill on their backs, and shrunk their necks suddenly, as if they were already those who were about to die, and those things in the darkness were watching from afar, confirming that they were dead.
Mr. Liao was even more frightened, shaking his body violently, and his flesh trembled.
It's just that I don't know why, Wang Mengmeng, who has always been very timid, didn't react when she said this, maybe the degree of fear has passed.
"Actually, I should have known about it a long time ago." She turned her head to look at Mr. Liao and said, "Mr. Liao, it's good that you didn't pick it up just now, that thing is not a night pearl at all, although it looks very similar." ”
Wang Mengmeng's way of speaking is a bit crazy, always engaging in suspense. But Mr. Liao didn't say anything this time, and I don't know if it was because he was scared just now, or if he remembered something.
Wang Mengmeng looked at him and said a little jokingly: "Mr. Liao, you should have also seen it, splashed with black dog blood, if you touch it again, the living things in there should move and run away." ”
Wang Shaoyi and Wu Liancheng both gasped and looked at each other, there is something alive in the Night Pearl?
"The thing in that is called a cat worm, and the cats that were barking just now are not ordinary breeds. The names of these cats are very," Wang Mengmeng said here and paused, not knowing how to describe them for a while. She thought for a moment, then said, "I guess it's special, they're called Nine!" Life! Corpse! Cat!"
Wang Mengmeng said it word by word, although everyone had guessed that it was a cat in the darkness in the distance, but when they heard the name of the cat, they couldn't help but tremble a few times in fright.
Damn it! It's with the word "corpse" again!
But immediately, Wang Mengmeng said with some struggle. "The so-called cat worm is actually a kind of food raised by this cat, and their nest is very similar to a cat's eyes, and it glows in the dark. The reason why those cats are called nine-life corpse cats is because these cats have nine tails and live on corpses, which is why they don't usually see them. Of course, it is also important to note that the reproduction of this bug is inseparable from the feces of the Nine Lives Corpse Cat, which is like a boarding relationship. ”
Wang Shaoyi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at her suspiciously: "Is there anyone in this cat who specializes in eating corpses?" ”
"Yes, this cat has nine lives in legend, just like the nine-tailed fox, and every time it dies, it loses one of its tails. Now that I think about it, my previous guess may have been wrong, those urn lids may not have been opened artificially, it should have been these cats who opened them and then ate the corpses inside. This kind of cat lives underground all year round, and it moves very quickly, and ordinary zongzi can't catch up with him, but don't worry for the time being, these cats don't have the surname of active attack, they are only interested in the dead. ”
After Wang Mengmeng finished speaking, she got up and patted her buttocks, which seemed to be stained with mud. Then she suddenly called the others to get up too, she put the flashlight on the ground, leaned over her head and whispered to them, "Although those cats don't have the surname of attack, those insects can bite." I sat down to attract the bugs here, but now I have to get out of here. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of insects crawling all around, just listening to the sound, the dense feeling made people's hairs stand upside down, and their hearts were worried for a while.
Wang Mengmeng suddenly took Wang Shaoyi's hand, beckoned Mr. Liao and Wu Liancheng to extinguish the flashlight, and while walking, they sprinkled glutinous rice on the ground, and when they reached a distance, they turned around and saw that the eyeballs around them before, as well as the sound of insects crawling on the ground, gathered towards the flashlight placed on the ground, and formed a circle around it.
Seeing such a scene, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to turn on the flashlight for the time being, several people held hands, and walked forward for a long distance, and only when they couldn't see those eyeballs at all, they turned on the flashlight, and several people got together, only to find that Zhao Jie had not come back.
What's even worse is that they threw a flashlight there, what if Zhao Jie goes there?
A few people hesitated for a while, and it was not to go back, nor was it to go back. After a few moments, the damn eyeballs moved back towards where they were. Now it's even more entangled, turn off the flashlight, I'm afraid that Zhao Jie won't find them; Don't turn it off, those bugs will be coming up again in no time.
Just when they were hesitating and in a dilemma, those eyeballs in the distance suddenly seemed to have encountered something, and they scattered and retreated like a tide. Where those eyes retreated, from a distance, it looked vague, and it looked like a flashlight was in the air, floating towards them like a ghost.
There's something weird about that scene. They breathed low in the darkness, their eyes fixed in that direction.
As the flashlight kept getting closer, the temperature around it suddenly dropped a lot, and a cold aura invaded. It makes people pull their clothes up involuntarily.
A few of them seemed to be frozen by something at this time, and they couldn't even mention the thought of moving backwards.
In the blink of an eye, the flashlight was only about ten meters away from them.
It wasn't until they got closer and followed the direction of the flashlight that they could see that the flashlight was not floating, but was being held in the hand of a person. Under the reflection of the light, the person gradually saw clearly.
Slender figure, fair face, frivolous steps, high nose bridge, right hand diagonally holding a sharp sword, left hand holding a flashlight up and down a small amount of swaying.
Before he could see it, a slightly weak voice had already sounded: "Shaoyi, is it you?" I am back. ”;
