Under the moonless night, a vigorous figure was rushing along the road.

On all fours, it was silent, except for the occasional disturbance of the branches and leaves on the side of the road, and some of the rustling sounds of the wind blowing.

Under the cover of the night, under its vigorous and swift movements,

Even when cars pass by on the highway from time to time, no one notices it.

Occasionally stopping at the intersection to discern the direction, the almond-shaped eyes with golden yellow, reflecting the faint light of the night, look a little shiny.

Immediately after that, he went further.

……

It was the desert cat that Xu Feng and Ah Meng had encountered by chance before.

Although I was scared by Xu Feng and Ah Meng before, I haven't met Xu Feng and Ah Meng again these days.

I didn't encounter a terrifying figure like those two.

Gradually, the courage returned.

And at any time, its strength continues to increase, and it finally breaks through the original range of activities - the survival range that was originally limited by its survival strength can no longer be limited at this moment.

Now, it's running down the road, heading towards the nearest human city.

It's just because of its ignorance and nascent wisdom, and its curiosity about the brightly lit place.

Raising his head, he looked back at the city that was dotted with lights.

At this time, another car came from behind the desert cat, and it seemed that it was also heading towards the city in front of it.

The desert cat sped up a bit of its speed and followed the car.

Cars are speeding down the road, and desert cats are scurrying along the side of the road.

That car can't shake off the desert cat.

……

“…… The forestry department recently issued an emergency notice that due to various reasons such as climate, it is not recommended that tourists or other non-professionals go deep into all kinds of forest ......"

"There was a super dense fog in the Northridge primeval forest, and three botanists disappeared during the investigation...... According to people in the vicinity, the dense mountain fog covers almost the entire mountain range, and it is easy to get lost in the thick of the mountain fog. ”

"A fishery farmer opened the pond a few days ago to collect fish, and found that only a very small part of the freshwater fish in the fish pond were cultivated for a year...... Later, many people carefully rummaged in the fish pond and found that a fish of the same kind as other aquaculture industries in the fish pond had buried itself deep in the wet mud of the fish pond after the water was released...... When it was discovered, it was huge, far surpassing other farmed fish of the same type......"

The desert cat followed the car and entered the human city.

The city is full of bright lights, which attracts the attention of the desert cat.

Instead of following the car, the desert cat slowed down, looking up at the light from the street lamps on the side of the road, and at the shops with some doors open on the side of the street.

However, it was already late at night, and there were not many people on the streets of the city, and most of the shops on the streets were quiet, even if they were still open.

Out of vigilance for the unknown, although it is new to everything around it.

But desert cats are more often hidden in the night, in dark places.

Occasionally, a car or someone passed by, and the desert leaped quickly and lightly, hiding aside.

After walking along the streets of the city in this way, in the silence of the surroundings, the desert was attracted by the sound coming from the front, and little by little, leaning against the dark and dark place, jumping up from time to time, stepping on his feet, and walking over.

When I walked to the door, there was a light shining in front of the door.

The desert cat didn't come forward again, but hid by the door, looking up at the door.

This is a convenience store on the street, selling snacks, cigarettes, alcohol, and trivial daily necessities.

Behind the glass counter with boxes of cigarettes sits a young man.

The young man was playing video news on the computer in front of him, and he had a plate of melon seeds in his hand.

was struggling with melon seeds, watching the news, and collapsed on the seat.

Expert analysis suggests that farmers should regularly inspect the fish fry in the fish pond and release part of the water for observation if necessary...... so as not to cause serious losses of the same kind...... In addition, some invasive fish may also ...... if they are unfortunate enough to mix into the pond."

"Tsk...... Experts are advised not to advise. ”

The young man grabbed another handful of melon seeds, snorted, and continued to watch other videos.

The next video, it's a cute pet video.

In the video, the dog appears to be very smart and has made a mistake, and the dog owner is teaching it a lesson.

It lowered its eyebrows and lowered its eyes, and from time to time it pulled at its master's trouser leg, humming and chirping, trying to fool it out.

The owner of the dog raised his hand and made a gesture to hit it, but before his hand could touch it, the dog lay on the ground and barked miserably.

The dog owner was speechless, and said that it was okay, let him go.

The dog sprang up from the ground as if nothing had happened, wagged its tail and went to play.

"Haha......"

Seeing the young man laughing, and then looking at the comments of netizens, it is also interesting.

"It's true, he sat at the table in front of me during the written exam. Later he came first, and I came second. ”

"Brothers, I don't think the dog is looking at me right these two days. Ever since I took him to the pet hospital the day before yesterday to get his eggs and came back, he has been looking at me strangely from time to time...... Sometimes when I wake up, I find it crouching on the edge of the bed and looking at me...... The thief is scary, what to do? ”

"Or do you tell it that it's useless? Maybe it'll get it. ”

“…… Ah, I said it, but now it has a stranger look, and every now and then it glances below me, and then at the knife...... I'm panicking......"

"Haha......"

The young man watched, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and knocked them on, and laughed again.

Outside the door, the desert cat hiding in the shadows, looking into the shop, looking at the young man,

It didn't know it was a convenience store, but it could see a lot of clutter in the store.

And then the man, sitting there, seemed to be very happy?

The desert cat was a little curious.

Also, what seems to be something delicious on that plate?

The desert cat that has preyed on prey in the jungle on the road is not hungry,

It's just a little curious that this person is eating such happy food.

"Squeak...... Boom! ”

At this time, on the highway next to it,

Suddenly, there was a very shrill sound, followed by a loud crash.

The desert cat, who had been paying most of his attention to the convenience store, was startled by the sudden voice.

In an instant, he rushed to the side, arched his back, looked over vigilantly, and stretched out his claws and limbs, ready to hunt and kill.

But after turning around, the desert cat gradually relaxed.

It was at the intersection of the highway and a car hit a pedestrian at the intersection.

All the way from the intersection, the pedestrian was hit on a street lamp pole on the side of the road.

At this moment, the car with some deformation at the front of the car will still be hit against the street lamp pole that has been turned into it.

Why was it hit by a car?

The desert cat gradually relaxed, and the desert cat entered the city all the way along the road, and saw a lot of cars.

If a car is about to hit it, it can easily avoid it or pass over it.

Is it a human reaction?

Right...... It wasn't as fast as it is now.

The desert cat felt like it had figured it out, and turned back to it.

I saw that in the convenience store, the man stood up.

“…… Why did he get into a car accident again? I'll just say that this intersection has bad feng shui......"

Listening to the sound of the collision coming from the road, the young man paused and stood up,

muttered a sentence and walked out to the door of the convenience store, but the desert cat took advantage of this moment to rush into the convenience store.

The young man didn't notice the desert cat at all, just stood in front of the convenience store, looked at the place where the accident happened at the crossroads, and then picked up his phone.

“…… Hey, city hospital? There was a car accident here at the intersection of Chengnan Road and Xushan Road, someone was hit by a street lamp pole from the intersection, and it looked very badly injured, and there was no driver in the car to get down, maybe he was also dizzy, so you should send someone over quickly. ”

"Right...... This is the place, the intersection where there was a car accident the day before yesterday, and this is still the place. ”

“…… Jinnyima has gone wrong. ”

After the young man finished calling the emergency number, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and then picked up his mobile phone to make a call.

“…… Hey, traffic police? ”

After making the call, the young man stood in front of the convenience store and did not go back.

To be honest, he didn't work in the past, and you can see from here that the people who were hit were deflated.

And...... In the middle of the night, there was no one else on the road for a while, and he was really scared.

After making the phone call and pausing, he turned around and went back to the convenience store, ready to wait for the traffic police and the doctor to come and have a look.

"Let's watch the news...... Really...... If you want me to say, most of the design flaws at this crossroads...... It's outrageous, this car accident every once in a while......"

The young man muttered, went back to the back of the counter, clicked on the previous cute pet video, and prepared to suppress the shock.

Then touch the melon seeds next to it.

"Huh?"

"Where's my melon seeds?"

The young man reached out and touched it, but he didn't touch it, and he didn't touch it when he reached out and touched it.

Looking down, let alone melon seeds, even the plate containing melon seeds is gone.

"Hell yes, Nyima fell to the ground? Didn't hear any sounds? ”

The young man stood up from the counter, looked at the whole counter, and then lowered his head to look at the ground under the counter.

But there is none, just like melon seeds disappeared out of thin air with a plate.

Does he remember that he had been here all along?

When he got up just now, he hadn't touched the plate.

Even if the melon seeds were eaten by him, it was impossible for him to eat the plate containing the melon seeds together.

But this plate just disappeared out of thin air,

And he's alone in the convenience store,

"Made...... It's not really going to be evil, is it? ”

The young man swallowed and couldn't help but curse.

The intersection not far from the house, or the scene of the tragic car accident,

Now that such a strange scene has appeared again, the young man is really a little panicked, and he can't help but shiver.

He wanted to close the store and left.

But looking out of the shop, there was no one else on the street, and the bloody crossroads were still his way through.

He stood in the convenience store, hesitating.

"Doctor, doctor, when are you coming......

And at this time,

Outside the store, against the wall, the desert cat put the plate containing the melon seeds on the ground.

It took two hands to bring out the plate, but it didn't stump the desert cat.

After bringing the plate out, the desert cat tried a few times and learned to eat melon seeds.

At this moment, knocking melon seeds, spitting melon seed skins on the ground,

The desert cat raised its head from time to time and looked at the man in the convenience store,

The man walked back and forth within two paces, and the expression on his face seemed to be about to cry.

Looking at it like this, knocking melon seeds like this,

It seems to be quite interesting.

"Poof......

The desert cat looked at it, and the sound of spitting out the shell of melon seeds sounded very faintly,

The young man in the convenience store apparently didn't hear it either.

Just knocking and knocking, the desert cat turned its head again,

Looking towards the crossroads, there was some doubt in his eyes.

It felt as if someone was coming.

"Hiss......"

Sensing the danger, the desert cat blew up and hissed in front of it in warning.

The danger didn't come any closer, and the desert cat relaxed again.

Turning around, he continued to sip melon seeds, watching the man in the convenience store nervously walk back and forth.

“……”

At this time,

The sound of an ambulance finally sounded in the distance, breaking the dead silence on the street.

Listening to this voice, the young man in the convenience store was about to cry.

It's finally here, and it's scary that he's alone.

Turning his head, he saw that the ambulance had stopped at the intersection and the doctors had already gotten out of the car,

The young man also hurried over,

It's not that he wants to see the horrors of the car accident again,

I really don't want to be here anymore, alone.

Waiting for the young man to leave the convenience store and hurry away,

The desert cat hid by the door and looked, but did not follow,

took a plate with some melon seeds and ran into the convenience store.

Then put the melon seed plate back in place.

The desert cat himself, following the example of the young man before, clicked on the computer indiscriminately,

Then a voice came out of the computer, and the desert cat was lying there, stretching out its paws to grab melon seeds.

I want to see if it's more comfortable.

It seems like a little.

The desert cat just keeps knocking melon seeds.

Until, stretching out his claws again, he didn't touch the melon seeds again.

And at this time,

The young man also returned.

"Hmm...... Cat? ”

A voice of surprise rang out.

The desert cat jumped up from the couch in a flash,

It only left an afterimage in the young man's eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.

“…… it? I'm not going to meet a ghost, am I? ”

The young man looked around again, but he didn't see the desert cat again.

And the desert cat, in fact, has always been in the convenience store, with extremely keen skills,

has been hiding in the blind spot of young men's vision.

……

"The former Zhuang Zhou dreamed of Hu Die, and Hu Die was also lifelike. Self-metaphor and ......"

Outside the back door of the Lethe Inn,

I moved a recliner and sat on the bank of the Lechuan River, with flowers blooming on the other side of my side.

Xu Feng was still reciting the classics gently.

Before, listening to Amon mention the mobile phone of the underworld,

Xu Feng did have some interest, earlier, when he was still alive in the yang world,

As a person who doesn't go out often, mobile phones are naturally also his usual things.

From Ah Meng, I asked for the 'dungeon mobile phone' that looked like a token,

Xu Feng fiddled with it, and then it didn't use it much.

The 'mobile phone' of the prefecture is mainly a communication function, and there are not many entertainment methods that rely on it.

For a lower mana reduction, this is a communicator that can save some mana.

For a man like Ah Meng, this 'mobile phone' in the underworld doesn't even have a communication function, it's just a courtesy inquiry before communicating with other people, such as Lao Bao.

Of course, the important reason why Xu Feng is not interested in this mobile phone at this time,

No matter how entertaining it is, it is difficult to match Xu Feng's immersion when he reads the classics at this time, and his clear understanding of the truth of heaven and earth is even more attractive to him.

Chaowen said, Xi can die.

This feeling of being able to clearly appreciate the truth of heaven and earth is really pleasant.

At this time, reciting the chapter of the "Nanhua Sutra",

On Xu Feng's side, around the blooming flowers on the other side, there were several butterflies fluttering.

Waiting for Xu Feng to finish reading the chapter, several butterflies turned into phantoms again, and after a few more flaps of their wings, they dissipated.

“…… Ah Meng, why don't we eat something else tonight, eat dumplings? ”

Xu Feng carefully experienced, the heaven and earth were reasonable, and he felt that his understanding was deeper.

After a pause, he closed the "Nanhua Sutra", and Xu Feng said to Ah Meng again.

"Okay."

Amon answered.

"Hmm."

Xu Feng also nodded. Although it was said to be dinner, this should probably be Xu Feng and Ah Meng's first meal in the past two days.

When he first came to the underworld, Xu Feng also tried his best to maintain three meals a day and sleep.

Later, Xu Feng didn't have to eat or sleep anymore, but when he remembered occasionally, Xu Feng just slept and ate something, which was regarded as entertainment.

Moreover, there is basically no change of day and night in the underworld, at least the sky above the inn has always been so gray.

Xu Feng said that it was dinner, and that was dinner, and Ah Meng responded.

"Shall we have dinner now?"

"Sit down again. I'll recite another copy of the Nanhua Sutra."

"Okay."

Ah Meng responded, stood beside Xu Feng again, and listened quietly.

Xu Feng opened the book in his hand again, and then recited softly,

"My life has an end, and there is no end to knowledge......"

Immersed in it, Xu Feng had some more experience, and scenes of grand or subtle scenes seemed to be in front of him, allowing him to really see them.

These flowers on the other side of him seemed to be listening to Xu Feng reciting the classics.

When the wind rises out of thin air, it slightly shakes the petals or branches of the flowers on the other side.

“……”

"Anyone?"

First there were small sounds, then a shout.

It came from outside the front door of the inn.

Xu Feng had already stopped chanting when he heard the sound of subtle footsteps.

Got up and turned his head, and in the inn, there were indeed new guests.

"Ameng, let's go."

Closing the book and putting on the deck chair, Xu Feng and Ah Meng returned to the inn from the bank of the Lechuan River.

The guest, still outside the inn door, held on to the door frame of the inn, raised his head, and shouted in the direction,

"Anyone? Is there anyone here? ”

"Someone. This is an inn, come in and sit. ”

Xu Feng answered, and then looked at the guests outside the inn.

The guests wore long trousers and a shirt with neatly buttoned cuffs.

Wearing cloth shoes on his feet.

In his hand he was holding a stick, probably a blind cane.

On the eyes, a ring of gauze covers the eyes.

Standing outside the inn door, holding the door frame with one hand and a blind cane in the other, he was a little hesitant and at a loss.

I probably felt the door of the building, so I shouted outside the door.

“…… Okay, thanks. ”

After a pause, the guests outside the door thanked him, hesitated a little nervously, and walked into the inn by the door.

Xu Feng stepped forward and helped him.

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

The guest first withdrew his hand, and then hurriedly thanked him.
