Chapter 12: Corpse Tricking and Kissing
"This time it's a dead deal...... I closed my eyes tightly, my heart pounding, and I even imagined the scene of these relatives tearing me to shreds with anger on their faces.
But after a long time, the fantasy did not happen. When I opened my eyes, I realized that the people in the room were not looking at me. Instead, she tightly surrounded Mrs. Zhang on the straw mat.
"You kid, what are you doing here, why don't you leave quickly." The wrinkled mage looked at me and frowned
I quickly stepped aside, not daring to speak again
"Everyone guards the house, once you find a cat coming in, drive it away immediately, and never let the cat get near the old lady's corpse," after yelling at me, the mage commanded everyone with a solemn expression
It was only then that I discovered something strange. Listening quietly, it seemed that there was some strange sound outside the house, this sound, like a cat meowing, and like a baby barking.
At first, the cat's voice was very weak, but gradually, the sound of meow and meow became more and more, coming from all directions, making people unable to find the direction, in the dark night, the cat's voice, cold seeping everyone's heart. I don't know how smiling I was when I was born, but I don't think it must have been as weird as the meow of the cat tonight.
Now, I finally understand why this mage is so cautious. For no other reason, it was Mrs. Zhang's corpse that attracted the cats.
Cats belong to the Western Yin Gold in Feng Shui, and the folk have the title of Nine Lives Cat, which is an extremely yin and extremely cold animal.
If someone dies in a village, there is no need to say hello, and the cats will come in a flock.
If you accidentally let the cat touch the dead body, the corpse will change, and in severe cases, the corpse will be scammed. Especially people who died unjustly and have a grudge in their hearts that they can't swallow, let alone let the cat approach. Once the cat is approached, the dead body will turn into a walking corpse. Even if the grudge is finally removed, people will choose cremation rather than burial. Because the corpse that has been angry with the cat, even if it is buried, it will be bad luck for future generations.
I have heard these allusions in the mouths of old men more than once, but I never thought that one day, I would really encounter such a thing.
Moreover, this cat ...... Although I haven't seen a cat appear, I can imagine from the strange green light outside the door, I can imagine that I can't count the cats outside the house, I'm afraid I can't count my fingers and toes.
I don't know when it started, those pairs of green eyes suddenly appeared in the dark night, exuding a strange cold glow, staring at the room tightly, dense, countless.
Slowly, the sound of cats got closer and closer, and wild cats emerged from the darkness and probed into the house in groups.
Seeing such a strange scene. Rao knew that he had five ghost protections, so he couldn't help but shudder and shrank back.
The mage couldn't help but gasp when he saw so many cats. Then, as if sensing that something was wrong, he pinched his fingers and counted it.
"Oops, why am I so careless, I don't know that today is the day of the confrontation, the time when the yin qi is extremely strong, alas......"
The mage patted his forehead with remorse, and listening to his words, it seemed that he had chosen the wrong day for tonight's funeral, which caused the cats to rush in.
I pursed my lips and said in my heart: "I regret it when I have time, I might as well find a way to deal with this stubble in front of me, and then the cat rushed in, I see how you cry." ”
Who knows, I'm not done yet. The mage yelled at the man beside him, "Rice." ”
A young man dressed in the same clothes beside him respectfully handed a bowl of rice to the mage.
After the mage took the rice, he took the three sticks of red incense, stomped his feet a few times, closed his eyes, and gestured with both hands towards the bowl of rice in his hand.
Then, the mage shouted out the word "edict" from his mouth, and with a shake of his hand, he sprinkled the bowl of rice out of the door.
"Meow woo" The surging group of cats dispersed, as if they were afraid of the rice, and some cats were sprinkled with rice, as if they were roasted by fire, and rolled on the ground in pain.
Seeing this scene, I opened my mouth wide, what is the rice in the mage's hand, how can it be so powerful.
What surprised me even more was that these cats all stepped back, not daring to approach the place where there was rice, even if there were only one or two grains of rice on the ground. The cats all regarded it as a forbidden place, and they didn't dare to touch it at all, so they had to bow their bodies outside the rice circle, erect their hair, and stare at the mage with their teeth and claws, but they just didn't dare to take a step forward.
The rest is much simpler. Those who have a broom take a broom, and those who don't have a broom pick up the chairs and tables at home, in short, they are trying to drive away the cats around the door.
There was a flurry of chickens and dogs jumping until the meows of the stumbling people were gone, and the cats were gone. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the house.
They turned back, which means that I am doomed to fail tonight, and the white cloth will never be able to get my hands on it.
I was thinking about how to sneak out, and the words of an aunt in the house made my heart tense.
"Hey, whose child is this, why is this so faced, you look at his eyes, why are they white?" The aunt pointed to my left eye and said something like this, which focused the eyes of everyone in the room on me.
"It's miserable this time...... "I sighed in my heart, and a wry smile broke in my heart, master, master, your apprentice was miserable by you today, if the apprentice is beaten flat, Qingming Chongyang, you remember to put on a few more pillars of incense.
I closed my eyes and waited for the anger that would ensue from these relatives.
It was at this moment that the unexpected happened again. An inaudible cat meow sounded in the room, which once again tensed everyone's nerves and diverted everyone's attention.
"Oh no, that's my cat." An old man exclaimed
"Day and night, it's hard to prevent thieves, this cat cub, if he is caught by the old lady, he must be beaten to death" is another aunt, and took the old man's words.
"There's a for talking so much, get that cat out." The mage's face changed and he roared
So, everyone was scrambling to find the source of the cat's sound again, and I also hunched over, pretending to help them find the cat, but my footsteps moved back as quietly as possible......
Who knows, the mage's body is right behind me, and he's looking for the cat, but he just blocks the space for me to move back.
With a wry smile, I could only continue to keep my body down, looking aimlessly.
Suddenly, I saw a bright light under the table, still dark green.
Just as I saw these eyes, with a whoosh, a thin body quickly passed by me and rushed towards Mrs. Zhang, who was sleeping on the straw mat.
"Quick, catch that cat," the mage yelled behind me, but it was too late, and the cat passed me, and in less than a breath, it stepped through the front door of the corpse and slipped away. The white cloth that covered the corpse's head was also touched to the ground by the cat's paws.
After the white cloth fell off, Mrs. Zhang's face changed in a breath, from black to blue, from blue to purple. The face was like a leaky balloon, and it quickly deflated, which was even more wonderful than magic.
"Get out of the way......" The mage's face changed behind me, and he waved vigorously at the man standing next to Mrs. Zhang.
Standing next to Mrs. Zhang was a very handsome young man with a fair face and a high nose.
Although the young man heard what the mage said, he still stood there with a blank expression, not reacting.
So, something happened that made everyone's mind spin.
After being straddled by the black cat, the corpse of the old lady stood up in a 90-degree style, just in the direction of the young man, and slammed. The two were face to face, mouth to mouth.
This scene almost shocked people's jaws down.
What's more, instead of being scared first, he burst out laughing.
Until the mage yelled, "Quickly separate them, don't let the corpse suck away the popularity." ”
The stunned crowd hurriedly stepped forward to break the kiss of a person and a corpse.
The old man and the old lady who spoke just now knelt on the ground and cried: "Mother, my son has caused you to lose your old age, and you are guilty." ”
I...... No matter how you look at it, I think Mrs. Zhang is cheap, after all, the young man is young and tall, and he is also a handsome guy.
I didn't have time to think about it, but while they were in a hurry, I quickly picked up the white cloth on the ground, grabbed it in my arms, and quietly slipped out.
When I got out of the door, I trotted hard again, and when I was far away and looked back again, I saw a young man crouching in the doorway, clutching his throat vigorously.
Eldest brother...... I can only silently mourn for you.
