Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Little Building
The flames swayed in the wind, big and small, and Bello's mood swayed with the flames, sometimes rising and sometimes falling. Whether it can burn until dawn is a very big question.
Bello suddenly felt as if he didn't have the same fear and fear he had at the beginning. As the saying goes, the unknown is scary, and when a strange cat stood in front of him, Belo actually felt much calmer.
Is this unusual: "Since you've had psychosis, you're feeling better?"
Bello looked up at the cat in the shadows, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Dude, how about we discuss it?
The cat didn't react, and Bello muttered: "This idiot, I don't know the cost performance at all, my fire can burn until dawn, you are here until dawn and don't leave?"
How long is it until dawn?
Now there is no watch, only the moon to determine the time. Bello looked up to see the moon, only to find that the moon was gone, and the sky was full of red clouds. The cloud was low, gloomy, and still tumbling and disturbing, like a dark cloud before a rainstorm.
This!
Bello feels like he's not a crow's mouth! Does this count as not dying if you don't set up a flag?
What to do? It's going to rain?
Bello looked at the cat and the old god was lying there, and seemed to recognize it, and was going to die here.
"Big brother, can you spare me! What do you want to make clear, can I see you off?" Bello wanted to cry without tears, and the leaky house happened to rain overnight, and the broken boat was hit by the head wind. When people are unlucky, there is no reason to talk about it at all.
What to do?
Bello was so anxious that he didn't know how to solve the problem at hand.
"Meow!" another cat meow. The cry made Bello feel a kind of fear that went straight to the marrow.
Well?
Bello suddenly realized that the source of the cat's meow was not the direction of the gray cat.
Don't?
He turned around in disbelief and saw a black kitten not far from the firelight, this kitten had slightly long fur, all black all over, and only four feet were white. The cat is very young, and it has a round head and a round brain, and it is very cute to be furry.
This is the black cat?
This is the black cat that the crow mentioned?
How do you follow a black cat?
This hairy kitten, which looks like a pom-pom, is cute and cute, squatting next to the fire, and looks very cute.
Is it just following the cat? How to follow it?
Bello looked at the black cat suspiciously, not knowing how to follow it.
Seeing Bello's gaze, the little black cat seemed to notice, and it stood up from its squatting state, turned around and took two steps in one direction. There was a raised slate on the ground, and the kitten accidentally tripped over the slate and almost rolled on the ground with a weak foot. I couldn't help but scream "meow" again, the voice was sharp and thin, soft and glutinous.
After barking, the little black cat looked back at Bello, then turned around and took two more steps before looking back again. Bello immediately understood that the kitten was letting him follow him.
Looking at the little black cat, Belo thought about it, picked up a few thick door frame planks directly from the ground, put these planks and wooden strips together, lit them, and pinched the bundle of lit wood with both hands as a torch, and then followed the little black cat.
"Meow!" a sharp meow came from the direction of the gray cat, and the gray cat saw that Belo was leaving, meowed, came out of the darkness, and followed. It just hung far away from the edge of the firelight, and didn't step forward, just trailing Bello.
Bello was a little scared in his heart, and he didn't dare to let the fire go out, he followed the little black cat, and prayed in his heart that the little black cat would go quickly. As if he could hear Bello's heart, when the little black cat started, he took two steps to look back, and saw that Belo was following vigorously, so he couldn't help trotting up, following the road of the village, turning left and right in front of a small stone building, and it squatted in front of the small building and did not move.
Looking at the torch in his hand, there was still half of it left, and Belo hurriedly looked around for the ignition materials. Fortunately, there were a lot of broken door frames on the small building, and Belo removed the door frames and door panels of the small building, piled them together, and lit them, and there was a lot of raging fire in the yard after a while. The fire was very large, and the whole courtyard was illuminated, and the gray cat was forced to retreat to the gate of the yard by the firelight, and looked at Belo in the yard with burning eyes, but refused to leave.
"Brother, I won't accompany you now!" Bello laughed, humming a little tune. He took two burnt matches and walked over to the little black cat. The little black cat didn't leave, but just roamed left and right at the door of the small building and didn't go in.
Is this to enter the building or not to enter?
Bello tilted his head to look at the little black cat and saw that the kitten was also tilting his head to look at him. I couldn't help but smile and asked, "Do you want me to enter the house?" The kitten looked at him, and then at the door of the small building, and didn't seem to understand what he said.
You have to make your own decisions.
Belo drew the gourd in the same way, picked up a few door frames again, pinched them together, and as a torch, stood in front of the building and looked, this building was made of stone, and the stone of the building was cut into neat squares, like city bricks. I don't know how many years this house has existed, compared to the time when the stone road was made, the walls here are not very weathered, but there is a lot of dust, and the doors and windows are dry and decayed and used by Belo to make a fire.
When I walked inside with the fire, I saw that the house was full of dust, and the ground was an inch thick, and the dust was blown in by the wind and accumulated on the ground evenly.
The entrance door is a hall, which is four meters horizontally and five meters longitudinally. The room was empty, and near the walls, there were some rotten things piled up, and Belo went up to kick the dust away, and saw the rotting cloth and wood underneath. It should be something like the previous seat, which has not survived the passage of time.
To the left of the hall is a small staircase leading upstairs, two doors on the right, and a door next to the staircase. The door on the right is one to the right and one to the back. The door is decayed, but it still stands on the door frame.
Bello went up and gently pushed with his foot, and the door immediately collapsed, and there was a "bang", and the dust was all over the sky. Bello quickly held his breath and took two steps back, watching the dust spread in the firelight. A smell of old decay suddenly came out.
The two houses on the right were decaying and collapsing beds, and the walls of the interior walls had not been preserved, decaying into fly ash that had fallen off at the base of the wall, making the dust at the base of the wall look a little higher than the rest of the place.
Nothing.
Bello entered the door on the left, still empty, nothing.
Walking up the stairs, there is only one room upstairs, not divided, a huge hall. This hall has a fireplace and huge windows. It seems to be the master's study plus living room. But because of the large window, the things here deteriorated faster, and there was hardly anything left, only the dust in the fireplace was faintly dusty, indicating that it was once inhabited.
Bello searched the upper floors carefully, but found nothing that caught the eye.
He began to wonder: Why did the black cat lead people into the building? Is it just for people to come here to see? He walked out of the door and saw that the black cat was still squatting in front of the door, licking its fur from time to time, looking at the door, as if waiting for Bello to come out.
How, exactly?
Bello looked outside the gate, there was already a faint thunder on the dark clouds, and the wind began to get stronger, with a cool air, rolling wildly in the sky. The trees whirred and crackled from time to time, as if something had been blown up by the wind and had fallen to the ground. The fire in the yard was pressed by the wind and looked down, and there were signs of extinguishing it. The range of the fire is much smaller.
Belo saw that the gray cat had run into the yard, clinging to the wall, and it seemed that he still wanted to get close to him.
No, you need to light a campfire in the house. It rains for a while, and the fire outside will definitely be extinguished. Fortunately, there was a lot of rotten wood in the house, and it was enough to burn until dawn.
Bello gathered the woods from the room and lit a smaller fire in the hall on the first floor. Now he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he should be safe.
Even if you don't know why the little black cat brought people here, at least it should be fine to stay in this small building until dawn. It is impossible to sleep anymore, there are two strange cats next to it, and Belo doesn't dare to close his eyes at all.
Since you can't find anything, you can just sit here until dawn. After some tossing, Bello didn't feel sleepy at all. Full of spirits, I found a wooden plank next to the fire on the first floor and sat down.
The little black cat saw Bello sitting on the first floor and didn't want to move, so she couldn't help but "meow" again.
Belo looked at the kitten suspiciously, and muttered to himself: "What do you want to do? What do you want to do, say it quickly! I don't know what you mean, how do you know if you don't tell me?"
The little black cat patrolled back and forth twice, and when he saw that Bello was unresponsive, he seemed to be in a hurry, pacing back and forth, and walking more and more urgently. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he jumped into the door, and Belo was startled, and quickly stood up, and saw that the kitten seemed to be facing some enemy, hunched over, making a "purring" sound, and moved forward step by step.
Bello followed the kitten and saw it reach the staircase, lowered its head, and made a "meow" sound on the ground.
Is this? Bello wondered! On the ground! What was on the ground?
Bello walked over and saw that it was still dust, and there was nothing but the footprints he had just stepped on when he had gone upstairs.
When the kitten saw Bello coming, he shaved twice on the ground with his paws, and then yelled at Bello, "Meow~!"
This is?
Do you want to get rid of the dust?Bello watched the kitten's movements and secretly guessed. He found a large wooden plank, used it as a dustpan, and scraped it vigorously near the little black cat, and scraped away a layer of floating dust, revealing the floor.
There is a mystery!
There was a distinct mark on the floor, and Bello quickly scraped away the dust from the trace, only to see that it was a stone lid that seemed to be a door to the basement.
The little black cat saw that Bello had understood the meaning, and ran out directly with a "meow", as if it was unbearable to stay in the house.
All right!
Basement!
There's a basement in this house!
Bello cleared out the entire extent of the lid, which was the normal range of stairs. Lifting the lid, he asked, and a moldy smell came from inside.
Bello was also bold at this time, he looked down diagonally into the basement, the light was a little blurry, and he couldn't see clearly.
