The woman seemed to have fallen, sitting on the ground rubbing her head and crying and laughing, only the little boy with an apple in his hand staring at us with a bunch of big round eyes.

This seems to be a family of four, they are wearing extremely torn clothes, only the "best" for the children is a set of crumpled shirts, Uncle Liao and I don't understand what is going on here, it is obviously a ghost house where the cat-faced old lady lives, how can there be such a family of four living in it? I saw the old man put the candle on the table and rubbed the woman's head and said, "I told you not to walk around, but if you are disobedient, will you still be obedient after suffering a loss?" ”

The woman with wrinkles on her face nodded with tears in her eyes like a child and said, "It hurts, it hurts." ”

At this time, the little boy also walked to the woman's side, snuggled up in her arms, and put the apple in the woman's hand, and the old lady snatched the apple and handed it to the boy and said, "This is a gift from your grandmother, and your mother doesn't need you to give it." ”

At this time, the woman suddenly cried loudly like a child, and said, "I don't, I want to." "It's like an ignorant child competing with someone else for snacks.

The boy stuffed the apple into the woman's hand again, and smiled at the old man, his expression was cute and sensible, which made people feel a sense of pity from the bottom of my heart, but the doubts in my heart grew bigger and bigger, and I couldn't help asking, "Old man, what is going on?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "I also said before, as long as there is a little way, who will live in this kind of place, my child died of cancer at the age of thirty, in order to treat him spent all the family's savings, after the child died, the old man went to work on the construction site in order to make money to pay off the debt, but was crushed to death by the cement slab, the relatives at home are good, and I don't have to pay back the money I owe, but after all, I am so old, how to support the elderly?" ”

"Later, I thought of my own situation but the cat-faced old lady is very similar, I simply lived here, anyway, I didn't want to live for a long time, and I lived for ten years, this couple I met when they were like now sleeping on the road crazy, no one cared about no one asked, at that time the woman was still with a big belly, I pity them and brought here, and then gave birth to a child, but for me, a lonely old lady, there is nothing to complain about when I am old and can still have a family to accompany me."

This situation is really unexpected to me, I didn't expect that there would be four homeless people living in the former residence of the cat-faced old lady, and they lived for ten years, thinking of this, I couldn't help but wonder: "Old man, you haven't encountered any situation in this house for ten years?" ”

At this time, the woman had fallen asleep in the old man's arms, and the old man said: "Actually, as soon as I entered the yard, I knew what you were here for, but I still want to persuade you to say a word, some money is not good." ”

"Are you worried that we're no match for the old youkai?"

"Of course I don't mean that, all of you are prepared, no matter how powerful the cat-faced old lady is, she is not a fairy, but I still hope that you don't make this kind of money, because of the loss of conscience."

I really didn't expect the old man to say such a sentence, although the old man is old, there will be no more ups and downs like young people, but although it seems to be very calm, but that kind of angry heart is still clear to people, I said: "I don't understand why you want to stop me, is it just because you need to live in this house?" ”

"Even if I say it, you won't believe it, because you haven't experienced a miserable life, but the cat-faced old lady has, of course it's not just me and it, a little messenger do you know how many homeless homeless people there are? Where do they all live? When you've met these people, you'll know that killing a cat-faced granny won't save anyone, and you're helping a bunch of rich people who don't need help at all.

I really couldn't understand what she said, so I frowned and said, "Old man, can you be more specific?" I think that a zombie is making waves in the city where people live, and lives by sucking people's essence and blood, and if this monster is not removed, who can live in peace? ”

"But have you ever thought about it, why can I live in the former residence of the cat-faced old lady for nearly ten years? During this time, my family and I were kicked out of the house by those real estate developers more than once, and almost froze to death on the streets. ”

I said, "You mean that the cat-faced old lady is not a big threat to ordinary people who are not too happy with your life?" ”

The old lady didn't speak, there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes, she gently put the woman on the ground, covered the quilt and said: "Young man, you must have grown up from a small worry-free food and clothing to today, now the building is getting higher and higher, and many people's lives are getting better and better, but no matter how rich people are, there are always poor people, those dirty and messy bridges and holes, only exist in the underground smelly and damp sewers, no matter how bad the conditions in those places are always people living in them, people who live in high-rise buildings will not care about their life or death, But do you know that in this place, many people like me, when they can no longer rely on their labor to get food, how do we survive? ”

I was just about to speak, but I saw the figure shaking in the gap of the wooden window lattice, and then a cat face appeared, I was so frightened that I was about to take out the corpse talisman from my pocket, Uncle Liao pressed my shoulder and shook his head.

This time I could see clearly, the cat-faced old lady was not half human and half cat-faced, as the legend said, but had a huge tanuki head, and I saw that its eyes were blazing and stared at each of us for a moment, and then reached out and threw in a string of salted chicken legs strung with rope, and a large bag of steamed buns, and then the terrible cat face disappeared above the window lattice.

I thought that looking for the cat-faced lady would be a very complicated thing, but I didn't expect its whereabouts to be completely exposed soon after we acted, and what was even more unexpected was that the cat-faced lady was a completely different behavior in the mouth of this old man, and the innkeeper said that it was completely different, and what I saw with my own eyes The old man said is the real behavior of the cat-faced lady, and I couldn't imagine that this person who has become a monster has been giving support to these people who are poor and incapacitated.

Could it be that there are also loving "zombies" among zombies, I can't help but want to laugh when I think of this, but I can't laugh.

I only heard Uncle Liao say: "It's normal, the cat-faced old lady was indeed lonely and miserable in her lifetime, but it is precisely because of this that it will have such behavior after death, you let a person who was clothed and well-fed suddenly become a spirit who can sympathize with the poor and pay for it after death, this is simply unreasonable." ”

I heard the old man sigh again and said: "Young man, this is what you have seen with your own eyes, this rich man's life-seeking ghost is actually the most important person who keeps us alive, it is not an exaggeration to call it a benefactor for us, not only me, but also those who live in the largest sewer of the general order, and the food is also provided by the cat-faced old lady, and if you kill it, it is equivalent to killing all of us, so I beg you to be merciful." "After that, the old lady actually knelt in front of me.

I was about to help her up, when I heard the old lady say: "It's no pity that I'm dead, but who will take care of this child, and let those big bosses of developers?" Or is it someone else? Young man, can you think of a future for this child? ”

I sighed deeply, I didn't know how to refuse this old man, of course, it was different from what she guessed, the most important reason why I killed the cat-faced old lady was for that piece of jade pendant, if I just let go of everything and give up, I really feel a dilemma when I think of this.

Thinking of this, I said, "I think I can solve these things with the local civil affairs department, I don't believe that a zombie can do things, people can't do it." ”

Uncle Liao smiled: "If these things can be solved by people, can you still see these homeless people in this horrible residence today?" Will anyone else live in the sewers? Will they need a zombie who has become an elf to carry food for them? ”

"What then? So it seems that this matter is going to be unsolvable? I said.
