"Didn't you find out? The cat's murderer's wounds were scratched with his own claws. Second Master Tao stared at the blood stains on the cat's chest.

Bai Li walked over and first looked at the scar on the cat's chest. The cat's coat does seem to have been scratched out by sharp claws, because the damage is very irregular, and there are traces of nail scratches. Peeling back the torn lichen, the scars on the cat's skin can be clearly recognized. White bones can be seen in the deepest part of the scar, and its surface is criss-crossed, and it can be seen that when scratching, it is in an extremely manic but unconscious state.

Comparing the scratches on the cat's chest and the flesh residue in the gaps between his fingernails, the same conclusion can be drawn as what the second master Tao said. The cat master was caught dead by himself.

"Second Master Tao, why did you scratch yourself when you said that Master Cat was so decent?"

Second Master Tao shook his head lightly: "I only know that the death of the cat master is related to the dream-eating tapir, but what the specific situation is, I'm afraid only the cat master himself will know." ”

"How did Second Master Tao know that Master Cat's death was related to the dream-eating tapir?" Just after asking, Bai Li suddenly turned around and pointed at the guy with his finger: "I remember, what you just said, saying that the cat master is the second demon to die in our intoxicated building." Who is the first one? Was he also killed by the Dream Eater? ”

The guy scratched his head and replied with some hesitation: "It's true that the cat master is not the first, but it's hard to say if he wasn't killed by the Dream Eater Tapir." The situation that day was similar to what you see now, madam, who was locked in the guest room alone, and stabbed himself to death. ”

"And how do you know he was killed by the Dream Eater?"

"Second Master Tao can smell the breath of the dream-eating tapir, and Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai can also catch the breath of the dream-eating tapir."

"Bai Ze, my husband?"

"That's right, it's Mr. Bai." The man said, "Mr. Bai has a way to see what the deceased experienced in the nightmare by touching the deceased. ”

"I see." Bai Li sighed: "It seems that the death of the cat master can only wait for the husband to come back." ”

The news of the murder of the cat master soon spread throughout the Zuxinlou, but everyone just whispered and did not watch like ordinary people. Bai Li was afraid that the death of the cat master would be strange, and he did not dare to touch and move his body at will. The guy is a clever man, and he asked the second master of Tao to set up a small barrier outside the guest room, in case anyone who doesn't know about it doesn't enter.

Bai Ze, who got the news, came back soon, and he only glanced at the cat master to know what was going on. After calming Bai Li a little, he put his hand on the cat's chest, a white light flashed, and strands of silver silk threads penetrated into the cat's heart that had been stagnant for a long time as if they were alive.

"How? How did he die? Bai Li saw Bai Ze's gaze sweeping, lest he spoil things, but he couldn't control the curiosity in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

"Madame, hand." Bai Ze motioned for Bai Li to stretch out his hand.

"Is that okay? Could it be something bad? ”

"It's okay, what we see is only the residual dream in the cat's mind, and it can't cause any harm to the cat." Bai Ze didn't wait for Bai Li to react, he turned sideways and grabbed her hand.

The moment the fingers touched each other, everything Bai Li saw was gone, replaced by a white mist.

"Bai Ze, are you there?"

"Ma'am, I'm here."

"Where are you, why can't I see you?"

"I'm by your side!" Bai Ze said softly: "Don't panic, it's normal that you can't see me, because we are in the nightmare of the cat master." The dreams created by dream-eating tapirs are very strange. Now, Madame thinks she is dreaming, and she just needs to follow the dream. Madame moved her fingers. ”

"Fingers?" Bai Li raised his hand and found that a transparent silk thread was tied to his little tail finger.

"Madame, move."

Bai Li tried to tug at it.

"Is that you?"

"It's me! This thread is attached to my wife's fingers. Don't be afraid, Madame, pull this silk thread when you encounter danger, and I will immediately pull Madame out of her dreams. ”

"What if, I mean, if something terrible happens to me and I forget to pull the thread?"

"That's okay, if Madame is really scared of being like that, I can detect it."

"Don't lie to me." Bai Li walked forward nervously, and vaguely heard a very familiar tune. It's a pity that she is proficient in cooking, not music. Although this song sounds familiar, there is no way to make out what it is.

The song is like another line, guiding Bai Li to continue to move forward. Because he couldn't see the road, Bai Li could only count in his heart. Five, ten, twenty, fifty, and about a hundred paces when she heard a voice like calling to her.

No, that voice was not calling her, but calling the cat.

By the way, this is the dream of the cat master!

Bai Li took a deep breath and continued to follow the voice. As she walked, she saw a courtyard and then a red plum blossom in full bloom.

A few more steps forward, she saw a cat, a dying cat curled up under the fence.

"Squeak~" The door opened, and a woman in a coarse cloth shirt walked out: "Cat? ”

The woman saw the cat curled up in the corner at a glance, she walked over gently, first squatted next to the cat, whispered a few words to her, and saw that the kitten was not hostile, so she reached out and ran away.

"I'm hurt, no wonder you ignore me when I talk to you. Does it hurt? It must hurt a lot, right? Don't worry, I won't hurt you. You come home with me, and I'll help you heal your injuries, okay? I know you're going to doubt my medical skills. Don't worry, although I am not a professional doctor, I have treated many small animals, including cats. ”

The cat looked up at the woman, her eyes darkened, as if she was suspicious of what she had just said.

"Shhhh Well, come home with me, and I'll cure you. When you're ready, you'll be able to climb up and down like other kittens. ”

Hearing the word play, the cat suddenly twisted its head to the side, and seemed to disdain to hear these two words.

The woman sensed the cat's reaction and laughed. Her laughter, like her voice, was soft and soft, and it was comfortable to burrow into her ears.

Bai Li followed the woman's footsteps into the courtyard. The yard is not large, but it is very neatly tied, and the corners are full of flowers, and most of them are plum blossoms. There are red plums, white plums, and wax plums.
