The cat-faced mother-in-law, also known as the cat-faced old lady, is a folklore in the Northeast.

Legend has it that the cat-faced mother-in-law is an old lady with a cat-face, pushing a stroller, holding a rattle, and moving around at night. Whoever cries a child, she will run to someone's house, steal the child and eat it.

This kind of story is completely made up by adults to scary children, so that children can sleep obediently and not cry.

Now that Zhao Jingjing suddenly told me that the cat-faced mother-in-law really existed, and she also stole her child, I was also taken aback, and I didn't know if I should believe it for a while.

didn't get my answer, Zhao Jingjing seemed to be stimulated. She stood up at once, grabbed my hand, and shook it vigorously.

She was emotional and asked me urgently, "Xiao Ning, you are a fairy girl, you have seen the fairy family and ghosts!" They can exist, and of course the cat-faced mother-in-law can exist! I didn't lie, it was the cat-faced mother-in-law who broke in and took my child away, I wasn't crazy, and I didn't throw the child away! I'm not crazy...... I didn't lie......"

"Sister Jingjing, calm down, I believe you." I hurriedly said.

But at this point, what I said didn't work anymore. She was caught up in her emotions and cried and screamed wildly.

The village chief came over and hugged Zhao Jingjing, but he couldn't separate Zhao Jingjing from me.

At this time, Shuobai walked over.

He raised his hand and tapped his fingertips lightly on Zhao Jingjing's eyebrows.

Zhao Jingjing's body trembled suddenly, and then as if she had been given a tranquilizer, her eyelids slowly closed, and she fell asleep.

The village chief was shocked. He hugged Zhao Jingjing, looked at Shuo Bai, and then looked at me anxiously.

I hurriedly explained, "Sister Jingjing is fine, she just fell asleep." I don't think she's in the right mood, Uncle Zhao, you can tell us what's going on. ”

Hearing that Zhao Jingjing was fine, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.

He helped Zhao Jingjing sit down on the stool, turned his head to look at me, and said with a sad face, "Xiao Ning, to be honest, whether it is the cat-faced mother-in-law who is causing trouble, or my daughter is really crazy, I can't tell the difference, I will tell you everything I know, you judge for yourself." ”

The village chief said that Zhao Jingjing was depressed when she was in college, accompanied by slight schizophrenia. She has been taking medicine, her condition is well controlled, and she has not been sick again for so many years. But after marriage, in order to get pregnant, the medicine was stopped.

So now whether Zhao Jingjing is mentally ill or not, the village chief is not sure.

Ten days ago, Zhao Jingjing gave birth to a son by caesarean section in the hospital. After being discharged from the hospital, he was confined at his mother-in-law's house.

Yesterday, the son-in-law suddenly sent Zhao Jingjing back to the village chief's house. The son-in-law said that Zhao Jingjing was crazy and lost their son, and said that there was a cat-faced mother-in-law.

The village chief thought that Zhao Jingjing was sick at first, but Zhao Jingjing told the process of the cat-faced mother-in-law stealing the child in great detail, except for being emotional, the logic was clear.

Of course, the village chief preferred to believe that Zhao Jingjing was normal, so he went to my house. My grandfather told the village chief that I was in the Taoist temple. The village chief brought Zhao Jingjing to the Taoist temple to find me.

I nodded, and asked again, "Uncle Zhao, how did the cat-faced mother-in-law steal Sister Jingjing's child?" ”

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Jingjing said that the cat-faced mother-in-law went to her house for three days......

On the first night, in the middle of the night, Zhao Jingjing heard the sound of cats barking and rattles.

Zhao Jingjing married into the town and lived in a building. Her house was on the fifteenth floor, but the sound of cats and rattles came from the window. It's as if someone is standing out of thin air outside the window on the fifteenth floor, leaning against the window and shaking a rattle.

These voices frightened Zhao Jingjing so much that she didn't dare to sleep all night. As soon as the day dawned, the sound was gone.

During the day, Zhao Jingjing asked her mother-in-law's family if anyone heard strange noises in the middle of the night. The in-laws said they didn't hear it.

Zhao Jingjing didn't dare to say more, because she also suspected that it was her auditory hallucinations and that she had fallen ill without taking medicine for a long time.

The next night, it was still the middle of the night, in addition to the sound of cats and rattles, Zhao Jingjing also heard someone singing nursery rhymes by the window. It was the voice of a hoarse old woman, with a long pitch, and her singing was ancient and eerie.

Zhao Jingjing was so frightened that she didn't sleep all night. At dawn, the sound disappeared.

On this day, Zhao Jingjing was in a panic all day. She was afraid that she would hurt the child if she fell ill, so she proposed to her in-laws that she should go back to her parents' house. Temporarily handed over the child to her in-law's family, she went back to her parents' house for treatment.

The in-laws knew that she had this disease and agreed.

The mother-in-law helped pack up the things, and the son-in-law gave it to her. Unfortunately, the family car broke down, and taxis were not allowed in the community. Zhao Jingjing had a caesarean section, and the incision had not yet grown, and the pain was unbearable with every step.

The in-laws couldn't bear her to go out of the community to take a taxi, so they proposed that they would not miss this day and wait until the next day.

In this way, Zhao Jingjing stayed for another night.

That night, Zhao Jingjing didn't hear any abnormal noise. Just when she thought her condition was getting better, she suddenly heard a nursery rhyme ringing in the living room.

The nursery rhyme grew quieter and quieter, as if it was walking through the living room and about to leave through the door.

Zhao Jingjing was scared and curious, she opened the bedroom door and peeked out through the crack.

This look almost scared her to death!

She saw a small-footed old lady in a gray cloth tagome walking towards the gate with her son in her arms.

Because she was sick and worried about hurting the child, her in-laws didn't let the child follow her. At night, the child sleeps with his grandmother.

But the child who was supposed to be sleeping with his grandmother was held by an old lady with small feet and was about to go out!

Zhao Jingjing screamed and rushed out, she only thought about her son's safety. What to be afraid of, the pain in the body, all these are forgotten.

Hearing her shout, the old lady with little feet turned her head to look.

With this turn of face, Zhao Jingjing saw the appearance of the old lady with small feet.

That's a cat face!

Zhao Jingjing froze in place.

While she was in a daze, the cat-faced mother-in-law went out from the gate with her son in her arms.

The door was open, and the cold wind poured in.

When the cold wind blew, Zhao Jingjing woke up instantly, and she chased towards the door while crying.

Zhao Jingjing ran all the way down the stairs, she ran outside the community, and when she was looking for her cat-faced mother-in-law everywhere on the street, she was found by her mother-in-law's family.

Zhao Jingjing cried and told her husband that it was the cat-faced mother-in-law who took their son away.

Her crazy appearance made her in-laws even more convinced that she was sick and secretly took the child away, not knowing where she left the child.

No matter how she asked, Zhao Jingjing said that her cat-faced mother-in-law did it. But who can believe that the cat-faced mother-in-law really exists?

The in-laws were furious, and as soon as the morning dawned, the son-in-law sent Zhao Jingjing back to the village chief's house.

"The son-in-law's family is now looking for children everywhere,"

Speaking of the lost little grandson, the village chief was moved, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to me, "Xiao Ning, you cut me off, is there really a cat-faced mother-in-law?" Where was my little grandson taken? The little milk baby who has just been born for ten days, how can it withstand the toss, but don't lose his life. ”

At the end, the village chief began to cry again.

I couldn't make up my mind, so I turned my head to look at Shuo Bai.

Zhao Jingjing was already mentally ill, and it was possible that she was sick and secretly took the child away and threw it away.

And we should take care of this matter, a baby who has just been born ten days ago, if he is not retrieved as soon as possible, can he still die?

Even if I can't protect myself at this point, I want to take care of this matter.

I didn't speak, but Shuo Bai seemed to see through my thoughts.

He gave me a reassuring look, and then said to the village chief, "We're going to your son-in-law's house to have a look, the cat-faced mother-in-law has been to his house, maybe we can find the clues left by the cat-faced mother-in-law at his house." ”
