The cat's four paws were pressed tightly to the ground, and each pad of flesh was blooming, while it was biting a weed with its beak, trying to pull it out in one direction.

"Poof......

Weeds growing in the cracks of the stone slabs were pulled out.

The three-flowered cat quickly stabilized its body to avoid being stumbled, and then it dragged the weed until it reached the door.

There is a small pile of weeds here, about a dozen of them.

Next to it was a bunch of large ones, half a man high.

The three-flowered cat stopped, turned his head to look at Song You, who was bent over not far away, and then looked at the huge gap between the two piles of weeds, there was no expression on his small face, but he secretly envied the dexterity of human beings in his heart, and then immediately ran back to continue his great cause of pulling weeds.

Half an hour later, the courtyard became tidy.

"Sanhua Niangniang."

"Huh?"

"Could you please go to the roof and pull the weeds off the tiles?" Song You almost stood at the door, stretched his neck to look at the roof, hesitated for a moment but decided to let go of those vassoons, even though there is a saying among the people that "the family is ruined and the long vassoon" is considered unlucky.

But they're really pretty.

"Remember not to pull out the vassons that look like flowers."

"Got it."

The three-flowered cat went up to the roof in two or three clicks.

The tiles tinkled for a moment.

Seeing this courtyard become more and more like a human habitation with the efforts of himself and Sanhua Niangniang, even if it is a rented house, Song You feels very good.

Then I cut down the bamboo and cut the plum branches, and it took about a morning.

In the afternoon, I spent shopping for various things.

Song You was not in a hurry to buy everything at once, and immediately wanted to make the entire yard perfect for his living habits, but took Sanhua Niangniang to wander around the street outside, and when he saw what he needed, he bought it back, and he didn't deliberately rack his brains to buy something.

It took an afternoon.

In and out this afternoon, the neighbors still looked at him with strange eyes. Song You wanted to inquire about what had happened in this courtyard, and it could be regarded as knowing more about his residence and neighbors under the same roof for a period of time in the future, but when he was busy, he felt that it was unnecessary.

To others, a haunted yard may be scary, but to him, it is just a little dirty.

Inconsequential.

Before I knew it, it was dusk again.

Song You moved an old chair and sat in the courtyard, listening to the sound of bamboo leaves blowing in the wind and watching the broken cumulus clouds with glow in the sky.

The three-flowered cat wandered around the yard and said a few words to him from time to time, such as complaining that there were no rats in the yard, saying that the people next door also had cats and so on, and he would generally reply to it patiently and chat with it.

In this era, a day is not long, but it is not short, because of the lack of entertainment, Song You gets up early every day, but also sleeps early.

Compared with the life of the previous life, it has more early mornings when the sky is just dawning, and I can feel that the early morning day is extremely complete. On the other hand, it has many fewer nights that have just begun after dark.

I think it's good to get used to it.

Gradually, the clouds overhead turned golden yellow from dusk, and after a while, they were dyed pink, but the pink only lasted for a short time, and the clouds turned dark gray like burning ashes, and this pure sky seemed to remind Song You of the era he was in.

"It's getting dark......"

The light in the courtyard gradually dimmed.

Song You felt a gust of wind, and a cold aura spread from the direction of the bamboo forest, and when he turned his head to look, there seemed to be a vague shadow, and he couldn't see clearly.

At the same time, Sanhua Cat ran over and stopped in front of Song You, looking left and right vigilantly.

"Is Sanhua Niangniang protecting me?"

The three-flowered cat did not speak, still looking left and right.

There are shadows flickering between the bamboo shadows.

Song You looked carefully, as if someone was dancing.

Ornamental bamboo grows against the white wall, and when the light dims, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is bamboo or bamboo shadow on the white wall. There are figures disappearing between the bamboo shadows, and the white wall seems to have become the background board for her performance, every time I see her figure, it is a different action, and she is as light as a crane, free and casual.

Rent a cheap house and have cabaret performances.

It's quite worthwhile to think about it.

Until the dance is stopped.

Song You got up and saluted that party again: "Since the lady has become a yin ghost, why do you want to stay in the Yang Mansion?" But what is there hidden or obsessed? ”

No one replied, just like yesterday.

Song You thought about it before he understood-

She may be obsessed, and it is the ultimate to be able to keep her ghost away, but she no longer retains all the memories and wisdom in front of her. This kind of ghost has a very low IQ, if it is an evil ghost, it will only harm people, and if it does not harm people, it is difficult to communicate, and it will only do things according to the habits of life preferences.

That's fine, just don't bother each other.

Song You stretched his waist, and when the ghost dissipated, he looked at the three-flowered cat at his feet, and suddenly asked:

"Sanhua Niangniang."

When the three-flowered cat heard the shout, she turned her head suddenly:

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"Were you a domestic cat or a feral cat?"

"Why do you ask?"

"I suddenly want to ask."

"Not a house cat anyway."

"Is it a wildcat?"

"I have a mother."

"And then?"

"Starving."

"I see."

The feral cat here does not refer to the wild cat breed, but to stray cats, cats that do not have owners.

Sanhua Niangniang is obviously not a wild cat breed, it is a three-flowered cat with long-haired cat blood, and it is born delicate and beautiful. According to it, its mother is likely a house cat that has been away from its owner. The kitten's attitude towards people largely depends on the words and deeds of the mother cat, and its mother is used to getting along with people, so it is close to people.

"I've always wanted to know how you got there."

"That's it."

"It's okay......"

Song You shook his head, didn't dwell on it, just thought for a while, and then asked Sanhua Cat: "Then Sanhua Niangniang should be a female cat, right?" ”

The three-flowered cat immediately looked at him with the eyes of a fool.

“……”

Song You had no choice but to shake his head again, when he didn't ask.

After sitting in the courtyard for a while, listening to two tunes, there was nothing else to do, so Song You also went back to his room to rest.

He had a hunch that maybe the night would be like this for a long time to come, and when he thought about it, he was grateful to the ghost of this courtyard, which more or less added some fun to the boring night.

……

A few days later.

Song You went out to buy an oil lamp, made a pot of lamp oil, and spent a huge amount of money to buy a copy of "Jisheng of the Land".

"Jisheng of the Land" is a popular travel guide book in this world, which records many scenic spots and their transportation routes, accommodation along the way, surrounding specialties and delicacies, etc., and also records some fairy mountains and famous waters, palaces and temples.

to help Song You temporarily watch the world.

When he got home, he saw a bunch of people sitting under the big tree next door, some were enjoying the shade, some were playing chess, and he couldn't help but stand over and take a look.

A couple of old men, playing chess.

Two people are down, three or five people are watching.

There was a group of people sitting not far away, chatting about trivial matters such as whose daughter was going to get married and whose son couldn't get a daughter-in-law.

In summer, there are many mosquitoes and poisonous, and people here hold pu fans in their hands, and the sound of pu fans hitting their bodies at night is high and low.

In the past few days, the attitude of the neighbors in the neighborhood towards him has changed visibly.

At first, everyone had the mentality of watching the excitement, and did not think that he could live here for a long time, and often discussed in private that he could last a few days. But in the past few days, I have seen him go in and out every day, without panic or fear, with a posture that has settled down here, combined with the Taoist robe he wore when he first came, many neighbors looked at him with more respect.

Song You watched for a while, and someone came to talk to him.

"Did the little gentleman eat at night?"

Song You turned his head and saw that it was the hostess of the house diagonally opposite, and vaguely remembered that the male owner seemed to be a public person.

"I've eaten it."

"This yard hasn't been rented out for several years, and even if someone comes to rent it, it will be surrendered on the same day." The woman asked curiously, "Is it true that the little gentleman is not afraid to hear the sound of this ghost singing every night when he lives here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, in the dim light of the evening, many eyes looked at Song You.

Apparently everyone is interested in such a topic.

Perhaps in the past few years, this haunted courtyard has helped them spend a lot of boring after-dinner. Everyone has been talking about it for a long time, and this is the first time that someone has lived in it for so many days, so naturally a new topic has been added to it.

But I saw Song You staring at the old man playing chess, smiled and said, "Aren't you also able to hear it?" ”

Sure enough, I'm not afraid!

Someone has a heartbreak in his heart.

I thought he slept early and died, and he couldn't hear.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

"We know that the ghost can't get out of this courtyard, not to mention that when no one lives in, she only makes a fuss once every three or five days." The woman said, "And we do not do anything bad on our days, and we are not afraid of a ghost knocking at our door at night." ”

"That's right."

Song You was still staring at the old man playing chess.

Wooden chess pieces hit each other with a crisp sound.

After death, people become ghosts, ghosts are naturally weaker than people, ghosts who are stronger than humans are already Taoist, and most ghosts are weaker than people. Even if many evil ghosts harm people through deception and intimidation, a normal person is not greedy or afraid, and there is not much need to be afraid of ghosts.

Even Song You had heard of a strong man who met a ghost at night, but in turn bullied the ghost.

Then I heard the woman ask,

"Sir is a capable man, in that case, why didn't he get rid of that ghost?"

"That's just a wisp of remnant soul, thanks to her, I was able to rent such a cheap yard, how can I take revenge?" Song You turned around and smiled at the sister-in-law, "What's more, the long night is boring, and having her is a little more interesting." ”

As soon as these words came out, many listeners suddenly understood-

This little gentleman is not only really not afraid, but also really capable, a ghost that ordinary people can't avoid, but in his opinion, it is not worth mentioning.
