Chapter 3 Removing Cats
Due to the rising terrain, the water level of this river is not high, but it smells bad, and the water quality becomes more and more turbid the further down it goes.
The old man said that the cat could not be evil as long as it was tied with a red rope, and I spent money to buy an underwater searchlight, and groped at the bottom of the river with the light, and it was all silt, and it was dark and dreary, and there were few fish, let alone cats.
Although it is summer, it is a little cold after swimming in the water for a long time. I was a little unsure of what to eat, and I thought to myself, I was deceived by the fortune teller, and I made up my mind to look for a while, and if I couldn't find it, I went home. As a result, I still found nothing when I dived this time, and just as I was about to surface for ventilation, I suddenly found that my back was like a big mountain, and I couldn't swim at all. I looked sideways, and on my back, I don't know when, there was a black thing, and I couldn't see anything else, only a pair of blood-red eyes looking straight at me.
Devil!
I was caught off guard, startled, and choked on the water, and the weight of the things on my back became heavier and heavier, gradually pressing me to the bottom of the river, I struggled desperately, but I got closer and closer to the silt at the bottom of the river.
Soon, my hands and feet were sunk into the mud, and my head was pushed into the mud with a lot of force. I knew it was trying to suffocate me in the mud. As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, most people are afraid of these gods and ghosts, and I am naturally afraid. But when I was forced to do this, I didn't care about being afraid, I just wanted to live.
I tried my best to keep my head from getting my head down. At this point in my struggle, my hand stuck in the river mud suddenly felt something hard under the mud, as if it was some gold and iron or something.
I was overjoyed and thought, could it be the original body of this cat? Immediately, he didn't care about struggling, and his hand used his strength to pull the thing out, but who knew that what was pulled out was not a cat, but half a stone slab. It seems to be some kind of broken inscription, and there are words engraved on it, and the bottom of the water is dim and indistinct, and with the cat's trouble, I can only see two 'Jigu' clearly for a while, and the rest cannot be seen clearly.
Seeing that it was a useless broken stone tablet, and the strength in my body had been exhausted, in an instant, my whole body was pressed into the river mud. The feeling is like Mount Tai pressing on the top, not to mention the feeling of not being able to move, and holding your breath. In desperation, I remembered the peach wood evil bead in my right hand, which had saved me once under the water, and I don't know if it had any effect this time.
I silently recited the blessing of Taishang Laojun in my heart, and hit my backhand with my backhand, and as soon as I hit it, it was like hitting gold and iron, and my bones seemed to be broken. And the thing on his back also seemed to be a little afraid, and suddenly rolled over, and disappeared into the river mud at once.
I quickly changed my breath, although I was tired and frightened, but I thought that if I didn't get rid of this thing, I might not have a good life in the future, so I gritted my teeth and dived down, groping where it disappeared. This touch, I touched a cold and hard thing, and when I took it out, it was just a big cat.
It was about the size of a human head, black all over, exuding the texture of black iron, with some brass-colored patches on its body, which should be the original color that had not been eroded, and it looked like a raccoon cat that had been squatting, and its two ruby eyes stared straight at me, and it was a little heavy in my hand. In an instant, from that eyeball, I seemed to see my own reflection, but underwater, how could there be a reflection?
The big cat has no mouth, and according to legend, this is a mythical beast in the sea, which can swallow the wind and spit waves, and help Mazu Niangniang to protect the safety of the sea. The two eyes are the eyes of the sea, and if any goblins and ghosts in the sea offend it, they will be sucked into it by its sea eyes.
I didn't dare to look at it more, let alone stay longer, so I quickly tied up the cat and returned home, ready to hand it over to the fortune teller the next day.
But in the evening, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, there was a problem here, there was a big problem!
I may still have been fooled, and I was shot by that fortune teller!
So he turned over and looked at the cat, only to see that there were several traditional ancient characters at the bottom of the cat, and the words 'Yongzhi Iron Workshop' were engraved on them.
Eternal Ironworks? What does that mean? I immediately took a look at Baidu, but there was no relevant information, literally, maybe just the workshop number of a workshop.
The next day, I took the tanuki to the fortune teller, but he never appeared again, and three days later, I saw him again, but this time on TV, and the man was arrested for robbing a tomb by the Huiyong River!
I was stunned, how wrong I thought, and I couldn't help but visit the prison the next day. The fake fortune teller didn't hide it anymore, and sighed: "I think I'm a blind man called a thief's eye, and I also have a nose and eyes on the road, but I didn't expect it to be planted this time." ”
I said angrily, "What the hell is going on, you fucking fuck me." ”
Hu Lao Blind did not hide it at this time, it turned out that under the ruins of the Yonghe River, there was a civil tomb of the Qing Dynasty, and later the Mazu Temple was knocked down, and the cat in the temple became a fine, just blocked at the door of the tomb, Hu Lao Blind went to try it once, and was almost killed, he made up as a fortune teller and walked around, trying to find a way to get rid of the cat.
I went into the water to save people that day, and he also saw it in his eyes, and he was very surprised, how could I not be killed by the cat? Later, I thought that there must be some antiquities on me to ward off evil spirits, so an idea arose and told me to get the cat out. And the reason why I went bankrupt, in the words of Hu Lao, has nothing to do with him, and it is really because of the cat.
When I went down to the river that night to catch a cat, the old boy was watching from the dark. After he watched me tie up the cat, the kid started committing crimes.
He is also really bold, what kind of place is Shenzhen? People come and go, dare to start here, I really don't know whether to say that he is bold, or that he has no heart.
Before leaving, Hu Lao Blind suddenly said to me: "Boy, I know that you are poor and crazy now, the things there are worth a lot of money, and the people above don't dare to move, if you have a kind, go and get it out, hehe, I'm afraid you kid won't dare." When he had said this, he immediately fell silent and turned to leave.
Something there? Does it mean that the civil tomb under the Mazu Temple is by the Huiyong River?
This old thing, when he is dying, still wants to pull me on his back.
I was scolded by this man and almost died, but this is in the police station, and I can't beat him, so I can only consider myself unlucky. When I got home, the cat was still tied up with a red rope, but I don't know if it was my delusion, but I always felt that its ruby eyes looked at me with a very vicious look.
I used to think that I would just gouge out its eyes and sell it for money, but now I'm a little worried.
Now, I only have 2,000 yuan on me, and in this money-rich place, I can rent a house for a month at most, and I have nothing to pay for food. Just when I was at a loss, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang, and I looked at the caller ID, it was a call from one of my brothers.
I was irritable, and I didn't get angry when I answered the phone, and said, "What's the matter, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, I'm busy." ”
This brother of mine, surnamed Dou, is called Dou Bozhi. His parents used to be professor-level figures, and the name also has a deep meaning, which means: indifferent to clear ambition, quiet to far-reaching. But I'm used to calling him 'tofu', a nickname that most people may not understand, but after getting along for a long time, they will have a feeling of being sudden, and praise me for taking it appropriately.
On the phone, his voice was very depressed, and he sighed: "Brother, my seventh spring has blown again." ”
I can't say it, you look like a talent, white and tender, and now girls like white-faced young men like you, and you're also a painter, why do you always fall asleep when you meet love?
Tofu said: "I also wonder, why do you say I am not welcome?" ”
I thought about it and asked him to tell me what had happened. It turned out that the girl went to his house as a guest, and a cockroach ran out on the way, and before the girl could scream, he howled first, and said to the girl: "Help, step on it quickly!" ”
After this kid finished speaking, I had an urge to smoke him, and I couldn't help but say: "You coward, even if you are a rat gall, even the seventieth spring will blow the same." Tofu was not happy, and said on the phone: "Hey, I want you to comfort and comfort me, why did you pour salt on my wound instead, you took gunpowder today?" "I have known Tofu for many years, and our relationship is not ordinary, and I have always spoken casually.
After he finished speaking, he probably sensed that something was wrong with me, lowered his voice, and said, "Brother, is something wrong?" ”
There have been such big changes in the past few days, and I am also very depressed in my heart, eager to find someone to talk to, vent the depression in my heart, so I told him about the business in one go. After listening to this, Tofu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Chen Hang, you kid is really not a thing." ”
I was stunned for a moment and said, "You make this clear to me, why am I not a thing?" If you don't say one, two, three today, believe it or not, I'm looking for someone to rape you. ”
Tofu smiled bitterly and scolded: "Fuck you, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth." Then he said in a deep voice: "You didn't contact me when something so big happened, did you treat me as a brother?" Forget it, I don't say anything about you, if you still treat me as a brother, pack up your things and come to live with me first. ”
To be honest, it would be a lie not to be moved at this time, but this kid can't boast, and if he praises, he will be easy to his tail, so I said: "Okay, since you sincerely begged me, then I will give you a face first and live in your house." ”
The two of us chatted a few more times before hanging up the phone. As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. I usually have a lot of business partners, and I have known a lot of friends who have been drinking and meating over the years, but speaking of which, it seems that the only one that can give me charcoal in the snow is tofu.
In his early years, his family was in good condition, and later when his parents were on a business trip, they died in a plane crash. Relatives and friends deceived him when he was young, and tried all kinds of methods to scrape the family's property clean, and he himself was a child.
Now I have opened a painting training class, specializing in teaching some children to paint in the summer, barely making ends meet, and living is also very poor, and it is not a way to rely on him to help me, not to mention a butt of foreign debt.
When I twisted the big bag to his house, he was waiting for me at the door, from the appearance, more Sven, with glasses, elegant temperament, of course, this is all the surface, the inside really makes people want to kick it, see me and howl: "Damn, your speed is too slow, the children I am waiting for are older." ”
I said, "When you are older, you will be born." The man broke his leg to ask for food, and the woman bought it into the kiln, and the money she earned was increased by twenty-one to five. ”
The two of us didn't change their faces, and the uncles and aunts around us turned back frequently. By the time we packed up our things and settled down, it was already night. In the sweltering summer heat, I couldn't sleep as I lay in bed tossing and turning, and my mind was full of what had happened in the past few days.
Before I made a career, I had a hard time and experienced a lot of things, but this is the first time I have encountered such a bizarre and strange thing.
What is there in the tomb that is worth such a big risk for Hu Lao? Dare to break ground in this place where people come and go?
What does Hu Lao blindly refer to?
For some reason, what I thought about the most was his last sentence: I know you're crazy poor now, and the things there are worth a lot of money, and if you have a kind, go get it out.
