Chapter 112: The Death of the Black Cat
I went out in an edelweiss coat and saw a hairy moon hanging in the sky.
An Xiaowu's gunfire immediately came again, and after a while, the lights were turned on from house to house, and several families began to scold, and I pushed open the door. Walking around the old temple of Grandma Wang's house towards the entrance of the village, I saw that in the open space that entered the village, An Xiaowu confronted everyone with a gun.
"The cats they all want to kill, what's the difference between them and becoming a sperm? If I kill one, I will lose one scourge! An Xiaowu glared at the villagers of Miaozi Village fearlessly, and beside him, a huge big cat was lying there, with two bullet holes on its body.
"Zizheng, look at the people you brought. Look at his eyes, he is a master who dares to kill! An old aunt looked at Ji Zizheng and complained.
As soon as Song Gang heard the old aunt's words, he was not happy. He shouted: "I said auntie, you can't say that, I'm an honest person, and it's this fat man who put the gun." ”
"You haven't put the gun yet? Today I went to the mountains to collect firewood, hit a rabbit and put a dozen shots, and you still said that you didn't release a gun! Another aunt said.
"Which of you saw me shoot a rabbit and shoot a dozen shots!" Song Gang's face turned red when he said it.
Song Gang and the villagers of Miaozi Village said a word, and the two sides quickly quarreled, the sound became louder and louder, and some of the villagers in Miaozi Village dragged out hoes and shovels, but everyone saw the shotgun in An Xiaowu's hand, and they didn't dare to go too close.
In the end, under the persuasion of Ji Zizheng, the fire was extinguished on both sides, and when he was leaving, An Xiaowu saw the big flower cat on the ground that was still struggling with four hooves, and suddenly stepped on the cat's head.
An Xiaowu and the others turned around and walked to Grandma Wang's house, and they saw me standing in the night breeze in my coat, patting me on the shoulder and pulling me back.
None of us noticed. There were no dogs barking in Miaozi Village that night.
The next morning, a white fog covered Miaozi Village, and no one could be seen from ten meters away.
Because Miaozi Village is close to the mountains, the fog will be thicker, the water vapor will choke, and a layer of fog will be stained on the eyelashes after a few steps.
When we got up, Grandma Wang was already busy in the yard building a fire to cook for us.
Ji Zi saw that Grandma Wang was busy early in the morning, and she couldn't bear it, so she asked the old man to rest in the house.
Grandma Wang couldn't resist Ji Zizheng, so he was dragged into the house. But then everyone looked at each other. I was the only one who could cook, after all, when my master and I were learning Taoism in the mountains, I was the only one who cooked and cooked.
After we had eaten, we were about to go to the town to buy ammunition, and when we reached the exit of the village, we saw several people walking towards the back of the village one after another.
"Why didn't the old lady who watched the sun come today?" Song Gang muttered when he saw that there was no one on the empty bench at the intersection in the middle of the village.
I vaguely saw that the back of the village was gloomy, so I walked to the back of the village, and An Xiaowu and the others saw me walking towards the back of the village with a suspicious face, and they also followed.
"Wang Yang, what's going on?" Himeko argued, he knew that I had a Taoist technique, and even if I was seriously injured at this time, I saw more than ordinary people.
"Dead man." After I finished saying these words, I turned into an alley at the back of the village, and after walking a few steps, I saw that the door of a house was full of villagers.
I looked through the gap in the crowd and saw the old lady who had been sitting at the entrance to the village lying on a mourning bed, dressed in a shroud with her head facing the door.
At the old lady's bedside, a few white candles looked a little strange in the dim temple on a misty morning.
What puzzled me was that a man was standing beside her bed, untying the blue strip of cloth from the top of her head and tying it with a strip of black cloth.
When they heard the movement behind them, they all turned their heads to look at me and my companions who were rushing behind me, and they whispered to each other, and my five senses were much more sensitive than ordinary people, so I could basically hear their conversations, but what made me terrible was that I didn't understand a word of their words.
Suddenly, a big black cat came out of the grass and appeared in front of everyone, it was the black cat that crawled to my bed in the middle of the night three times and twice, An Xiaowu saw this black cat pick up the branch on the haystack next to him and chased after it.
When the black cat saw An Xiaowu wanting to hit it, he ran directly to the temple where the old lady's body was lying, and a group of people scolded An Xiaowu for coming to Hu Lai, and dared to hold a dead branch in front of the deceased.
In some villages in the northeast, when an old man dies, the whole village can't take the dead branches, because the dead branches contain dead energy, and when they are on the ground, they will show the way to the ghosts.
An Xiaowu didn't know that Miaozi Village had this rule, and he was scolded by the villagers of Miaozi Village to the point of blood, how could he ever be so angry that he threw the branch in his hand and was going to kill the big black cat.
There was the body of an old lady lying in this temple, and there were white candles lit, and the light in this temple was dim in the morning, and it looked a little gloomy. An Xiaowu was still stunned, and he didn't dare to chase after the big black cat when he saw it running into the temple, but when he scolded the villagers of Miaozi Village like this, the ruthlessness in his heart came up, and he suddenly plunged into the temple to find the big black cat.
The big black cat was hiding in the corner of the temple, his eyes glowing green, but An Xiaowu was not afraid at all at this time, he rushed over with two feet, kicked the big black cat and let out a very sharp scream, jumping up and down to avoid An Xiaowu.
The more the people around the temple scolded him, the more angry he became, it was useless for Song Gang and Jizi to argue with him, and no one dared to come in when the old lady's spiritual bed was blocked at the door, An Xiaowu chased the big black cat a few times like a mad cow, and after the big black cat ran to the side of the old lady's spiritual bed, he jumped suddenly, and jumped over with his belly scraping the old lady's chin.
An Xiaowu hurriedly chased over, but he was stopped by a few villagers in Miaozi Village, An Xiaowu didn't break free, angry he immediately shook his hand, and a raging fire ignited on both hands, everyone was startled by his hand, and showed this hand in the mountain village, and the villagers didn't regard him as a fairy.
Seeing that everyone burned on An Xiaowu's hands for a long time and didn't see him shout a word of pain, everyone felt that An Xiaowu was not an ordinary person, and they all gave way to An Xiaowu.
But after everyone got out of the way, who knew that the black cat hadn't run yet, but was lying motionless by the door, An Xiaowu went up and kicked it twice, but the black cat still didn't move.
"Fell to death?" Not only An Xiaowu, but everyone showed doubts, Shi Xiaoxue glanced at me, and I also shook my head, I didn't know what the situation was.
As the saying goes, cats have nine lives, its vitality is extremely strong, its self-survival ability is higher than that of many animals, and its dependence on humans is not very strong, so cats are not as loyal as dogs, and the flexibility of cats is the biggest embodiment of its strong survivability, especially the cat's jumping ability, even if it falls from a ten-story building, it may not necessarily fall to death.
And this big black cat jumped from the height of the spiritual bed and fell to his death?
I'm afraid that ghosts won't believe it when they say it.
An old man walked over from the crowd, and while carrying the dead big black cat, he said to An Xiaowu: "Now that you are satisfied, it can be regarded as dead in your hands." ”
An Xiaowu didn't say anything, glanced at me, and at my signal, everyone left here together.
On the way, Song Gang said: "That old lady was squatting at the door a few days ago to bask in the sun, why did she die this morning?" ”
An Xiaowu said: "Let's go back to the light." ”
Although An Xiaowu said this, the expression on his face was not so comfortable, and it was obvious that he also noticed that something was wrong, and the cat in Miaozi Village was very wrong.
I also muttered in my heart, and I kept repeating in my mind the picture of the big black cat crossing the old lady, and for a moment it became weak and fell to the ground and never got up.
We traveled a few times to the town, and inquired about a man who was originally a hunter, who was seventy or eighty years old, and who didn't take it seriously when he heard that we were going to buy shotgun ammunition, so he took us to the old yard not far from his house.
After entering my old yard, the old hunter said to an old man in the yard who was making a big bow: "Old Hu, these little babies have come to buy bullets." "Doumu claw.
The man named Lao Hu looked up at us and said, "How many years have bullets been banned, and where are they still sold?" ”
