CHAPTER 10 Serpentine birthmarks
"Please, kind and merciful lord, save the lives of cats and animals. The blue and white cat, who could only speak human words, looked at Mo Banbrown with an aggrieved face and said, the four little paws sat together obediently, and the two front paws were raised, making a pretentious appearance, looking very well-behaved.
"Don't look at me like that, how did you get this weird look?" Mo asked the blue and white cat with soft fur with half-brown eyes open, "People are not people, and animals are not animals." ”
"It's all because of the beasts, I'm greedy for a while! When I went to Evian Pavilion some time ago, I saw some small pills on the ground, and I just felt that the smell was sweet. I swallowed it a lot, and when I woke up, I heard that the people in the whole restaurant were looking for the missing person Rui, and I realized that the soft and glutinous meatballs were actually priceless people Rui. Later, somehow I was able to speak. The blue and white cat said, dripping tears as she spoke, and her voice was also crying, "When I first spoke, I frightened two people, and then scared away a few cats. When I'm like this, my fellow citizens are afraid of me and think I'm a monster. ”
"There is no distinction between man and beast, it is indeed a monster. Mo Banbrown smiled and said, "But you are not a shallow beast, and if these many people eat it, you are afraid that you will live longer than ordinary people." How many people dream of immortality, but you have to go to it indiscriminately!"
"Master, I see that you are one of the few people in this Fenghua City, your weather is like a fairy, I am here to join you! Now, I am not tolerated by cats and animals, I just want to follow the master and ask for a way to live!" said the blue and white cat, "But with the old man saddle before and after the horse, there is no other word." ”
Mo Banbrown yawned. "If you want to follow, follow it, you have the wisdom of people, and your mind will naturally be restricted, otherwise it is easy to go the wrong way. Okay, I'm going to get some sleep, don't bother me. ”
"Yes. The blue and white cat said obediently. The cat gazed at everything in the room, and he quietly closed the window to keep it quiet, and then walked softly to the base of the wall, and sat cross-legged, pricking up his ears to hear the sounds outside. He regarded this man as his own master in his heart, and trembled to exercise a gatekeeper's errand. Maybe this will make him feel a lot more at ease, half human, half cat.
When Xiangyu was sorting the golden reed grass, a few golden reed plants touched the serpentine birthmark on her wrist. When you touch the birthmark, there is a cool feeling, just because this grass is precious and has a cooling and soothing effect. I didn't think deeply about why I just felt this cool feeling when I touched the birthmark.
That afternoon, Xiangyu had a dream in which she saw a familiar back, although the person was unfamiliar. But she always felt that person was her clansman, and there was always a sense of déjà vu. The man walked up a long staircase, walked and walked, he opened a treasure box, and then the whole dream went dark.
In the dream, there was a voice like a bell, reciting eight words: vain opening the box of desire, affecting generations. The sound kept repeating, and it was terrifying. When she woke up from a nap, she still remembered these eight words and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Xiangyu, are you dreaming too?" Xianglian asked Xiangyu in a low voice, her voice was faint, and she was very scared when she had always been timid.
Xianglian also dreamed that there was a strange voice chanting those eight words repeatedly, and she always felt that it was not simple, not like ordinary good dreams or nightmares, the dream just now seemed to be capable, and the person who caught it did not dare to think deeply in his heart.
She woke up frightened and had a cursed feeling. In addition, being pregnant makes me more sensitive to these things physiologically and psychologically.
"What did you dream about? Tell me about it. Xiangyu asked Xianglian, and an intuition appeared in her heart: I am afraid that it is the same dream.
"Eight words: vainly open the box of desire, affecting generations. Xianglian said, looking at Xiangyu. She carefully observed her expression and noticed that there was a slight twitch between Xiangyu's eyebrows, and there was a deep shock in her pupils.
"I'm afraid it's the problem of this golden reed grass, our sisters' sachets are all made by you and me, when we are picking up the golden reed grass...... Yes, it must have been because of a serpentine birthmark. Xiangyu was shrewdly aware of it, "This golden reed grass must have something to do with the curse of our people." ”
"This golden reed grass is precious and rare, and we don't have much in our hands. Xianglian said, "Indeed, there is a slight feeling of coolness when I touch the birthmark. Her voice rose unconsciously.
"Shhhh Xiangyu motioned for Xianglian to silence her, not to wake up the sisters, "Then while the sachet is still in our hands, let's first separate the golden reed grass, store it in the red and black box that sent the spices, put the other spices into the sachet, and distribute them to the sisters and everyone in the pavilion." ”
"What are you going to do?" asked Xianglian, who had always been the most undecided and always afraid of getting into trouble. She saw that Xiangyu had always been the one with the most ideas, and Xianglian was afraid of things, for fear that Xiangyu would think of some bold ideas that were afraid of the dead. I wanted to know in advance, but I didn't dare to ask openly.
"I don't have any specific plans, but this golden reed grass must be useful. Xiangyu said, wrote a note, and wrote eight words on it: "Vainly open the box of desire, affect generations", and put it into the red and black box. "Let's first put these golden reeds in our hands into this box and store them. Wait until it's useful. ”
Xianglian agreed. The two of them began to work on the one hand, dividing the spices on the one hand, making the sachets on the other, and by the time the sisters woke up in the afternoon, these things had been done seamlessly. By the end of the evening, everyone in the Pavilion had been given a sachet.
During the time when Ajing went to Qixia Mountain, Tao Sheng received a flying pigeon from his family, and when he saw the content of the letter, he was thinking about how to find his uncle Mo Banbrown. After all, this is a family matter, so I didn't tell a group of friends from Xiuyan Market, who lived in the Changsheng Theater.
In the evening, when Ah Jing came back, he informed Ah Jing of what was said in the letter, and wanted to find someone to discuss, "If you want to say that this uncle and grandfather are not half-brown, I have never seen it, how do you say I should find it?"
"Let me ask the Book of Heaven. Ah Jing said, "This kind of thing, the book of heaven has a strange use." "Er Liangshi, please tell me where Tao Sheng's uncle and grandfather are. Ah Jingxin said.
"He was in this immortal theater, drinking downstairs by the window, and he was accompanied by a blue and white cat. The book of heaven said, "When you go, you will see." ”
The two came downstairs and found that there was a silver-haired and energetic man who was drinking, and Ye Xing happened to be serving him food. Beside the man, there was really a five-pink, blue-and-white cat that looked human, with shiny fur and a straight face.
"Uncle, grandfather. Tao Sheng shouted at the old man from afar, and the man almost choked.
Mo Ban Brown looked at it carefully and said, "When did I have a grandson of you? You little ghost, why do you call Uncle and Grandpa when you meet people?" Mo Ban Brown muttered.
"Uncle and grandpa, you are really my uncle and grandfather, and Mo Banlan is my grandmother. Tao Sheng said, reminding his uncle and grandfather between the words. It seems that he doesn't recognize the names of some acquaintances if he doesn't report them.
"What's your name?" Mo Banbrown asked. He looked at this kid, he looked good, and he had the temperament of a good person. If it is really his grandson, he will not suffer.
"Tell my uncle and grandfather, I am Tao Sheng, my father Tao Lian, and my mother Xijuan. Tao Sheng said.
"Xijuan...... Pity...... Yes, my sister is married to the Xitian family of the Shanhao clan, and your mother's surname is Xi......" Grandpa Mo looked at Tao Sheng, "It seems that you kid is really my grandson." ”
"Uncle, my mother wrote a letter, hoping to find you to save people. Tao Sheng said and took out the letter, "The matter is urgent, please take a look at your uncle." ”
The letter said that the woman still needed to be found. Mo Banbrown said, "Where to find it? ”
Ah Jing just quietly asked Tianshu, the woman who had an affair with Uncle Chang, named Xianglian, was already pregnant and was now in Shenxie Pavilion. Ah Jing didn't know how to explain the matter of the Book of Heaven, so he whispered in Tao Sheng's ear about the woman's whereabouts.
Tao Sheng had already expected that this woman was in Shenxie Pavilion, but he didn't know her name, and now the book of heaven said it, and this person was confirmed.
"We already know that she is in the Shenxie Pavilion in this city, and she is a woman named Xianglian. Tao Sheng said, "We'll look for her tomorrow." ”
"Well, it's important to save people. Mo Banbrown smiled, "Come on, grandson, you two haven't eaten yet, it's just a meal, and the dishes are ready, eat together." The two of them did not refuse, and agreed with a smile.
"The boss, help us add two pairs of chopsticks. Mo Ban Brown shouted to Ye Xing.
"It's coming. Ye Xingmali served two pairs of cutlery. Ah Jing and Tao Sheng are used to Ye Xing's disguise, and they know that he is Cheng Mu, which can also be said to be a "star".
"This is a fish for the cat. Ye Xing took a small bowl with three or four pieces of fish in it. The blue and white cat "meowed" to express its gratitude.
"Yo, some people still call you master. Mo Ban Brown said, "It's better for you to call Xiao Ye in the future, Ye and Ye have the same sound, as a cat, wild and untamable, you have to hone your heart." Mo said while eating meat.
The cat barked, very well-behaved, and couldn't hide a bit of arrogance in his eyes.
"This cat is so cute. Ah Jing stretched out his hand to touch Ono, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I won't touch you when I eat." ”
Ah Jing found that since he came to Fenghua City, Tao Sheng dreamed that he was poisoned, and he was careful before eating and drinking, probably in the dream, there was a plot of poisoning and dying, so he had palpitations.
Ah Jing comforted Tao Sheng, "Not everything in dreams will come true, things will take a turn for the better." Look, didn't you dream that someone from your family had come to collect Uncle Chang's body? As a result, don't we have a way to save him now?"
"Well, this kid is right. Mo Ban Brown said, "Grandson, everything, you have to think about it, this matter has changed a lot." I see you, a bless boy, like me. You just eat and drink carelessly, and I will protect your life!"
Tao Sheng was a little relieved and relaxed a little.
