Chapter 21: The Tiger

"Knock Knock ......"

"My subordinates meet your lordship."

In the Lethe Inn, at the dining table.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng are eating dumplings cooked in Meng Po soup.

The inn door was knocked again, and Xu Feng and Ah Meng turned their heads one after another.

But it wasn't the guests who came, but the old cow Chen Da.

Chen Da knocked on the door with a bull's head, and after knocking on the door with some honesty, he lowered his body and saluted Xu Feng and A Meng.

"Don't be so polite, have you eaten, let's eat together?"

Xu Feng stood up and beckoned.

"No need, sir."

Lao Niu Chen Da stepped into the inn and smelled the aroma of dumplings cooked in Meng Po soup.

I was a little greedy, but I swallowed my saliva and held back.

"Ah Meng, you can scoop up the remaining dumplings in the pot."

"Okay."

Xu Feng turned around and said to Ah Meng, who answered and went to the back kitchen.

Old Niu Chen Da stood there and smiled innocently.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Thank you, sir...... It was Your Excellency who asked me to come and inform you that the evil spirit you captured earlier has been dealt with. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Feng sat down at the table again and answered.

"Because jealousy breeds joy and evil, and destroys living beings. After death, he did not think about reincarnation, but still wandered in the world, harming many lives, so that many people died in vain. He was sentenced to 500 years and was sentenced to be reborn for 500 years, and he was sent to hell and suffered a lot. ”

Chen Da said these words with some twisting words.

Xu Feng listened, nodded, and didn't say anything about it.

When the evil spirit dies in vain, it may be pitiful,

Later, when you suffer, you inflict your pain on others repeatedly.

So that he was gradually completely blinded by evil thoughts, and only the desire to kill remained.

What started as a poor ghost has become a complete demon.

"I see, is there anything else?"

"Also, most of the souls who were killed by that evil ghost have already been judged to have been judged in this life, entered reincarnation, and reincarnated in another ......life."

Probably because he had learned the old bag, Chen Da stopped from time to time while talking.

"yes, okay. I got it, too. ”

Xu Feng nodded again.

At this time, Ah Meng had already walked out of the back kitchen with a bowl of dumplings.

Putting it on the dining table, Xu Feng stretched out his hand and pushed it to Chen Da again.

"Sit down and take two bites."

"Thank you...... Thank you, sir. ”

Some mouthful, Chen Da hurriedly sat down,

Pick up the chopsticks, and when you want to eat, you look up again,

Seeing Xu Feng signaling him to take care of himself, Chen Dacai lowered his head again and began to eat.

The bowl containing dumplings is a little bigger than Chen Da's huge bull's head.

Buried his head down, took chopsticks, and shaved a few bites into his mouth, Chen Da finished eating the dumplings.

"Hmm...... Well...... Thank you, sir. ”

When the old cow finished eating, he poured all the soup into his stomach and drank it.

Put down the chopsticks and stood up again, thanking Xu Feng.

"My lord, then I'll go first. Your Excellency is still waiting for me to return to my life. ”

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Feng nodded and stood up.

Old Niu Chen Da answered again, and turned to leave.

watched Lao Niu walk out of the front door of the inn, and the figure disappeared.

Xu Feng sat down again,

Then he ate the dumplings in the bowl in front of him.

“…… Ah Meng, why don't you wait a while, let's go to the capital city again? ”

After a pause, Xu Feng asked Ah Meng.

"Okay."

Ah Meng only responded softly to Xu Feng's words.

……

"Sister Mao, do you want to order melon seeds, I'll give you some more?"

The vehicle is driving on a mountain road.

Ji Liang drove the car, and the desert cat sat in the co-pilot,

There was also a plate of melon seeds in front of the co-pilot.

A man and a cat are on their way to travel.

A few days ago, after Ji Liang saw the cat god who seemed to have become a sperm, he couldn't wait to immediately shout the words 'change for the master'.

But I don't know if the cat god can't change yet, or if he doesn't want to respond to his expectations.

I haven't seen the cat god change yet.

But after a short time together, I found that the cat god didn't seem to be too aggressive.

Even if he slapped him to the ground with a slap, it seemed that there was still some mana, and the skill protected him, so that he was basically not injured except for a little pain in his face.

Now, out of anticipation, curiosity, excitement and other emotions, Ji Liang tried to let the cat god stay.

Who doesn't want a kitten that has grown into a sperm, maybe it can 'change'!

Then, after he kept promising many benefits to the cat god, he told the cat god that all the food in the store could be eaten by the cat god.

The cat god really stayed.

As for the desert cat, the dazzling array of food that this man gave him for free was quite delicious.

Although she is able to easily live in the wild and in the city, hunting.

But after eating those snacks and food, she felt that the things she had hunted before were not very tasty.

It seems good to stay here and accept this man's offering.

And in a few days, the desert cat followed Ji Liang and ate everything that could be eaten in the convenience store one by one.

I also learned to play with Ji Liang's mobile phone and Ji Liang's computer.

Last night, when Ji Liang got up in the middle of the night, he saw that on the sofa in the living room, the mobile phone was lit up, reflecting a cat's face.

It's a desert cat holding a mobile phone, rubbing the mobile phone screen, and playing a game.

It seems that the desert cat has gone from being a top hunter who hunts vultures easily in the desert to a dead house.

Ji Liang, who is familiar with desert cats, has also changed his title to Sister Cat.

And this time,

Traveling is Ji Liang's proposal.

For desert cats, is it interesting to go somewhere else?

It's better to stay in your own territory and play on the computer, and watch those movies on the computer for fun.

The desert cat listened to Ji Liang's words, raised his head, and glanced at Ji Liang.

"If you don't eat melon seeds, Sister Cat, I'll open a can of Coke for you?"

"Meow ......"

The desert cat nodded casually, and replied weakly.

With his hands on the door next to him, the whole cat collapsed on the co-pilot, still wearing a seat belt.

"Give...... Sister Cat, you can open it yourself. ”

Ji Liang took out a can of Coke from the side and handed it to the desert cat.

The desert cat stretched out its paws to take it, the sharp claws on the cat's paws stretched out, and with a slight pull on the Coke hook, he opened the Coke can and drank it.

He tilted his head a little further and glanced at the seat behind him.

The rear seats, including the trunk of the car, are piled with a lot of snacks and snacks, eating and drinking.

If it weren't for Ji Liang moving all the food in the convenience store to the car, the desert cat wouldn't have come to travel with him.

“…… Sister Mao, look at the green mountains and green waters outside the car, how beautiful. ”

Ji Liang and the desert cat talked.

The desert cat glanced out the car window boredly.

Staying by Ji Liang's side these days, the desert cat understands the meaning of what he says to people.

What's the meaning of this, it's either grass or trees, she's seen a lot.

There are no lights that come on everywhere at night in human cities.

"Sister Cat, isn't it pretty...... Also, Sister Cat, you are well-informed, and you must be used to all of this. It's not like me, looking at these mountains, forests and clouds, I think it's very beautiful. ”

"Sister Cat, look at the sea of fog in the valley over there. The clouds and mist were churning there, and the setting sun was setting over the sea of fog. ”

At this moment, it is the evening sunset outside the car window,

As the sun sets close to the distant peaks, the afterglow is scattered on the sides of the passing vehicles and on the sea of clouds in the valley.

The afterglow shone on the sea of clouds, and also through the car window, spilling into the car.

Looking at this spectacular scene, Ji Liang was a little excited.

The reason why he came out to travel was to relax.

The few accidents he had seen at the intersection before really had a big impact on his soul, making him suspect that the location of the convenience store he opened was not good in feng shui.

But the convenience store is his, and it's not easy to replace it.

Looking at the sea of clouds at sunset now, Ji Liang felt that his soul had been washed.

And the desert cat just followed Ji Liang's gaze, turned his head and glanced out of the car window again, and then turned his head again,

Holding the can of Coke, I drank it slowly.

"Sister Cat...... In fact, it's not good that you're so old and paralyzed. Maybe you can have time to cultivate more? ”

Ji Liang turned his head again and spoke carefully to Sister Mao.

Practice?

The desert cat didn't understand, and turned its head to glance at Ji Liang.

"It's just getting stronger gradually, Sister Cat, you shouldn't be as powerful as you are now, right?"

Oh, the desert cat understands.

However, she can gradually become stronger when she lies down, is it true that she is cultivating while lying down?

Then I must cultivate well, and it's good to become stronger.

The desert cat blinked and lay down a little more comfortably.

"Wait for Sister Cat, you will succeed in your cultivation...... Maybe you can become a human. ”

"That's what I am...... Phew...... Ahem, become the appearance of those young ladies on the street. ”

Ji Liang said quietly.

The desert cat glanced at him again and looked at him strangely.

Why did she become a human?

Is there something wrong?

Ji Liang is not as strong as her, very weak.

"Ahem...... Sister Cat, you didn't say it to me...... Sister Cat, we're about to get to the place, and the village in front of us is where we can live tonight. ”

Along the mountain road, continue to drive forward, talking as you go.

The afterglow of the sunset outside the car window gradually disappeared as the sun set back into the valley.

It gets dark quickly, and night falls.

The thick fog that had lingered in the valley before was filled,

Let the visibility around this night become lower,

Ji Liang could only turn on the headlights and drive slowly along the mountain road.

However, fortunately, it is not far from the place to go.

Following the mountain road and driving slowly for a distance, Ji Liang drove the car and took Sister Cat to the place.

"Sister Cat, this is it. The car in the village is not easy to drive. We'll get off here, and the car will stop right here. ”

Following the mountain road, the car drove to the entrance of a mountain village.

The fog that had been permeating the road before seemed to be blocked out of the village, but there was no fog around the village.

Further inside the village, the village road is relatively narrow, in order to avoid the car from hitting the courtyard wall of other people's houses for a while, Ji Liang stopped the car and got out of the car with Sister Mao.

"Sister Mao, I've done all the raiders, this is an authentic homestay, and only some old backpackers know about this place."

"Wait for tomorrow daylight, follow the mountain road pointed out by the villagers, and we can go to the top of the mountain to see the natural scenery and sunrise...... How do I know, I read the posts on the Internet. ”

The entrance of the village is estimated to be a flat land deliberately opened up for tourists to park.

There are also several cars parked on the flat ground.

got out of the car, Sister Mao jumped directly onto Ji Liang's head and squatted,

And Ji Liang is used to it these days, anyway, Sister Mao's light body is not heavy at all, just squat.

"But that's what I said...... The posts are all seen by me. Is it reasonable that there are no villagers who come to the village to solicit guests to stay here? Sister Cat? ”

Ji Liang and Sister Mao were talking as they walked towards the village.

"Maybe it's the off-season for tourism, so I thought no one was coming, after all, there were two cars parked at the entrance of the village, well, it was reasonable."

"Huh? Why is there no one in the village to light up......"

Although accompanied by Sister Mao, Ji Liang walked to the village on the village road, and he was still deterred by walking.

"People in the village go to bed so early? Still maintaining the concept of life at sunset and sunset? ”

"Haha, anyway, this hasn't been powered yet!"

The slower and slower he walked, the more panicked Ji Liang's heart became, and finally he simply stopped.

With a laugh in his mouth, he made a joke and wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

But in the blink of an eye, there is a 'original' B&B next to him.

There was also an unlit sign hanging at the door of the house, which read 'Accommodation, Meals'.

Ji Liang picked up his mobile phone as a flashlight and looked at it, the red tube on the light sign was reflective, which made Ji Liang panic when he looked at it.

“…… Sister Cat, why don't we travel to another place? ”

Ji Liang raised the flash of his mobile phone and looked into the village.

Here near the foot of the hill, there are probably twenty or thirty households.

Most of them are in the business of homestays.

The village that was supposed to be brightly lit was only at night at this time.

But there were no lights on, and I couldn't see half of his figure except him.

The whole village was pitch black, and there was not a sound.

There was not even a normal night of birds and insects at the foot of the mountain, and there was a dead silence.

In the night, you can vaguely see some things that were originally hung on ropes in the yard.

It could be bacon sausages, it could be some dry clothes,

At this moment, it is still shaking slightly.

But Ji Liang didn't feel the wind around him.

"It's impossible that there is a power outage in the village, and everyone is hiding in the dark and playing hide and seek silently, right?"

Ji Liang looked at this strange and dead village, and he was about to cry.

But the more panicked, the more words came out of my mouth.

", don't scare me, I was just scared out of these things to relax, why did you come here again?"

"Is there some strange constitution in me, me...... Sister Cat, can you cover it? ”

While saying that, Ji Liang had already retreated out of the village.

The voice is also getting lower and lower.

The darkness of the village was so dead and silent that he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Somehow it's gone? Moved en masse? The car is still parked outside the village, don't you want it......"

Just when Ji Liang was getting more and more panicked, suddenly,

A voice rang out in the dead village,

"Squeak......

A tooth-sour voice sounded from the side of the house next to it,

The old doors of the houses seem to have been pushed open from the inside.

Ji Liang was excited, and he could still feel that the cat sister squatting on his head was also fried.

When I turned my head to look, I saw that the door gradually opened outward with the sound of creaking.

Then, in the darkness, a figure slowly fell down the open door until it fell to the ground.

"it...... Damn! ”

The figure fell to the ground with a dull sound, but it was still very clear in this dead silence.

Ji Liang's goosebumps crawled all over his body in an instant, and he turned around and ran towards the outside of the village.

And the desert cat squatting above his head,

Now he jumped straight over his head,

A trail of afterimage rushed forward, and he ran away.

"Sister Cat, Sister Cat save me, Sister Cat!"

Ji Liang watched Sister Cat run away, and shouted a little miserably.

It was about this time that the desert cat sounded and there was such a person,

The afterimage that flew forward was stunned, and soon came back again,

Raising his paw was a slap on him, and then jumped back on top of his head.

Ji Liang felt that his whole body was lighter in an instant, and the afterimage of his feet and legs was thrown out, and he was about to fly.

With an unimaginable speed, he rushed out towards the entrance of the village.

At this time, in the dead village, in the darkness,

And again there sounded the roar of a beast,

"Roaring ......"

The roar tore through the dead silence of the village all day long,

But I still didn't hear the voices of the villagers in the village.

Ji Liang was faster, and took Sister Cat to the location of his car, opened the car door and rushed in.

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car ran away with the desert cat and Ji Liangwai outside the village.

“…… Sister Cat, call the police...... Alarm...... Yes, call the police...... You help me make the call. ”

"That's scary,! The whole village is full of people! ”

……

“…… Buns, the best buns to eat......"

"New dishes, fried candles with sugar, are waiting for you to taste!"

Xudu City, that lively snack street.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng said that they would go to the capital city later.

But the concept of time is obviously a little different from normal.

I read ancient books and books for a few days on the banks of the Lethe River and recited a few scriptures.

After a few days, Xu Feng remembered this matter again, and went here again with Ah Meng.

In the city, the snack street along the street is still lively.

The food provided by the world can always make the food stalls on this food street endless.

But

The noodle stall that Xu Feng and Ah Meng had eaten before was gone.

The original noodle stall has been replaced by a steamed bun stall, and the people behind the stall have also changed.

“…… Come on two meat buns. ”

"Okay. Two of you taste, my buns here are made with the best ingredients, I woke up and kneaded for a long time to get this noodle out, this dough is ......"

asked for two meat buns at the bun stall, and Xu Feng asked casually.

"Well, it tastes good. But wasn't it a noodle stall some time ago? ”

"Yes, you mean Lao Qian, he was reincarnated a few days ago, I don't know where he went, he gave me this stall before leaving, and told me how to make noodles at his house, if there are guests to come, you can eat. Little brother wants to eat, I'll give you the next bowl? ”

"No need."

"Two more buns? Don't wait a while, I'll leave too, and this bun will be unpalatable. ”

"Then let's have two more."

"Okay, I'll come back after eating something delicious."

Holding the meat bun, Xu Feng and Ah Meng walked around the snack street here.

After eating the buns, Xu Feng went back with Ah Meng.

Back in front of the Lethe Inn,

Before entering the door, Xu Feng paused.

Because

Just go out here for a while, in the Lethe Inn,

In addition to the old cow who called to see the store, there was also a figure.

It's a tiger.
