Chapter 42: Big Detail, Small Story

The whimpering wind stopped, and the strips of cloth slowly fell.

Sima Bei stood under the tree, looking up at the carcass of the wild cat that fell on the lowest branch, frowning slightly, touching his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, Haiyan came over with a bowl of steaming noodles and said softly, "Let's eat noodles first, Xiao Wu, they won't be able to come back for a while and a half to catch the murderer, and it will take at least five minutes to get here from their security compound...... Five minutes is enough to eat a bowl of noodles. ”

Sima Bei sighed softly and took the noodles, but he didn't start sucking the noodles, but continued to look at the wild cat corpses full of trees, and said curiously, "Why are there so many cats hanging here, and they are still dead." ”

Haiyan was stunned, biting her lip, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

"Inconvenient to say?" Sima Bei blinked his eyes and said, "Could it be that there is something so important about this?" ”

Haiyan seemed to have made up her mind, sighed lightly, shook her head, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a small story." ”

Sima Bei was suddenly interested, and asked, "Can you talk about it?" The short story should not be long, and it will definitely be told in ten minutes, just enough for the captain of the little five to run back and forth. ”

Haiyan looked at the crooked-necked tree full of wild cat corpses, then looked at the bowl of noodles in Sima Bei's hand, and said softly, "Let's eat noodles first, the noodles won't taste good if they're cold." ”

"It's good!" Sima Bei nodded in response, turned around with the noodles and walked to the steps of the courtyard and sat down, patted the stepped stone bricks next to him, and said with a smile, "Sit here...... Let's sit down and talk while eating. ”

Haiyan pursed her lips, walked over and sat down slowly, and watched Sima Bei pick up the noodles and feed them into her mouth, before she opened her mouth to tell the little story......

The story takes place on the night of Starfish's third birthday, and as soon as Haiyan and Starfish have fallen asleep, there is a soft sound on the roof.

Haiyan sighed, but still closed her eyes and slept.

The starfish was upset when he heard this, scolded a few words, turned around, pulled the quilt, and covered his head.

Soon after, there was a ping-pong sound in the kitchen, and it seemed that this time the beast was more unscrupulous than ever, disturbing the starfish that buried its head in the bed.

Starfish simply fanned the quilt, panting heavily, his little face turned pale, but he didn't dare to shout loudly to drive away, for fear of waking up his father, who was already asleep.

After a long time, the noise finally stopped, and the starfish looked at the petrel who was sleeping with her eyes closed on the other bed, and wanted to lie down and sleep.

Suddenly, a miserable cry rang out in the kitchen!

And with the sound of a clatter, it was the sound of claws scratching at the plank.

The starfish immediately opened his eyes again, sat up on the ground, and said angrily, "Find your own death!" ”

He rolled over and got out of bed, walked to the kitchen by the faint starlight, picked up a black burning stick, lit an oil lamp, and shone it on the board, and sure enough, he saw a big orange cat half of its body pressed by the trap box he had set up.

The big orange cat had a small fish in its mouth, waved its two sharp claws, and scratched the board of the wooden box frantically, but because the wooden box was too heavy and the board was too thick, it couldn't break free.

"Well deserved!" Starfish snorted coldly, and felt very happy to think that he had finally caught this thief who had sneaked into the house and stole the fish and shrimp they had worked so hard to catch.

He placed the oil lamp on the board and quietly admired the impotent fury of the big orange cat.

However, the big orange cat's small furry ears and round green eyes made him feel unwarranted hatred in his heart.

So, the starfish raised the burning stick in his hand and struck the big orange cat on the head hard.

The big orange cat let out a more terrible cry, the small fish in its mouth also fell, the sharp teeth were also retracted, and the cold air was inhaled, and the beard on both sides of the nose trembled slightly, as if begging for mercy.

Starfish had not liked bearded people very much lately, but at this moment, when he saw a few beards of the big orange cat, he felt a little pity and sympathy, and put down the burning stick in his hand.

The big orange cat gasped a few times, and seeing that the starfish did not move again, he picked up the small fish again and began to scratch the board of the wooden box with all his might.

Listening to the sound of the starfish, he recalled that he was so noisy by the big cat that he couldn't sleep every night, his brows gradually wrinkled together, staring at the big cat's stunned ears, and said irritably, "Don't make any noise!" It's noisy! Don't you think you're noisy! ”

Naturally, the big orange cat would not answer the starfish's words, but only scratched the wooden box board more and more frantically.

Slowly, the wooden box began to slide off the big orange cat.

Starfish hurriedly raised the burning stick again and smashed the big orange cat twice on the head.

The big orange cat's head tilted and fell on the board, a wisp of bright red flowing from the corner of its mouth.

Starfish put down the burning stick, picked up the oil lamp in his left hand, and slowly leaned over, carefully checked the condition of the big orange cat, saw the bright red, guessed that the big orange cat might be dead, and suddenly felt that he had committed some great evil, full of guilt.

At that moment, the big orange cat suddenly flipped up and bit the starfish viciously on her left hand.

Starfish was startled, hurriedly took a step back, raised the burning stick, and with all his strength, smashed it on the big orange cat's head again and again.

Blood splattered and fell on his face, which looked particularly red in the swaying firelight.

It wasn't until the last bit of strength was exhausted that the starfish stopped, looking at the big orange cat that had become a puddle of rotten meat, stunned and at a loss.

"Starfish, what are you doing?" His father had come to the kitchen at some point, and stood in the doorway and asked coldly.

"Thief cat......" Starfish hurriedly covered the body of the big orange cat with a wooden box, turned around, but did not dare to look at his father's eyes, and bowed his head and replied three words.

"I know there's a thief cat, but what I'm asking is what are you doing? Are you going to kill him, or are you going to let him go? The father at the door, still standing outside the kitchen, stared at the starfish and asked with a frown.

Starfish didn't answer, and buried his head under his shoulders in a nutshell, not wanting his father to see the blood on his face.

The oil lamp went out suddenly.

The father at the door and the starfish in the kitchen were dark, and the faint starlight could barely illuminate their silhouettes, and the expressions on their faces could not be seen.

"Alas!"

The father sighed softly, "After today, you will not be a three-year-old child, but your personality is still like this, you are silent, and you haven't grown at all." It seems that your grandma's revenge can only rely on my old life to fight. ”

Starfish was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked, "I have a grandma?" ”

"Of course, who doesn't have a mother! I alone could not have given birth to you. ”

"What kind of person is my grandma?"

"She's the best person in the world, but she's been killed with the most brutality, so it's up to you to get revenge. I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but they said that people can't remember things until they were three, so they kept it in their hearts. Now you are no longer a three-year-old child, but you still have the temperament of a child, this teaches me what to do! How can you get revenge with such a temperament! ”

Starfish clenched his fists and said with a stalk around his neck, "Abba, I can grow up!" It's past twelve o'clock now, I'm no longer a three-year-old, please tell me who killed my grandma! ”

The father looked at the starfish in silence for a short moment, sighed, slowly sat down on the threshold, and whispered, "Of course, I can only tell you that you have to grow up...... Now, come and sit down and listen to me! ”

Starfish saw his father sitting in the gloomy gray light and shadow, his body was shaking slightly, the red cloth on his face was also shaking slightly, and his weak breathing sound, with endless sorrow, made him feel a creepy inexplicably, and in a blink of an eye, the blood surging in his heart boiled all over his body, encouraging him to go over, ironically saying that he didn't dare to walk over.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, sat down next to his father, and asked urgently, "Father, who are the enemies?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry......" Father suddenly twisted his neck, reached out to wipe the blood stains on Starfish's face, and said with a faint look in his eyes, "You answer me a question first." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Do you want to be a good person, or a bad person?"

"We live in the village of good people, of course we are good people!"

"Excellent! You also have to be a good person because you have the blood of the best people in the world in your veins...... Do you know what kind of person is considered a good person? ”

"I don't know, does Abba know?"

"Of course...... Do you think the thief cat is good or bad? ”

"He is so lazy to eat, stealing our fish, and making us unable to sleep every night, he must be a bad person."

"But do you know why he came to our house to steal fish?"

"I don't know, Abba surely does, right?"

"Nature...... His wife died, and he still had two children, and he lived a very hard life, not because he didn't want to support his family by his own ability, but because the fish lived in the sea, he didn't dare to go into the water, so he could only come to our house to steal ...... He only stole a small fish at a time to feed the two children, but he didn't eat a single bite himself. ”

"Huh? He loves children so much, what ...... Should it be a good person? ”

"If you think he's a good person, then he's a good person, if you think he's a bad person, then he's a bad person, don't ask me, ask yourself."

"I see...... Abba, I think I already know who killed Grandma! Starfish stood up suddenly, his eyes shining coldly.

The father exhaled a deep breath, and then stood up, reached out and touched the starfish's ear, and said with relief, "Go ahead, dig a pit first, and then plant a tree, and you will grow up...... Remember, move lightly, don't wake up your sister. ”

Starfish nodded heavily, walked back to the kitchen, picked up the wooden box containing the corpse of the big orange cat, came to the yard with a white face, dug out a big boxy hole, put the wooden box in it, and planted a small tree.

It was only later that because there were more and more wild cat corpses on the tree, the small tree bent its neck in the process of growth, and finally became a big tree with a crooked neck.

"Since then, no wild cat has dared to break into our house......" Haiyan sighed with lowered eyes, putting an end to this little story.

Sima Bei sighed twice, looked at the wild cat corpses full of trees in the yard, tilted his neck and said, "It's a bit extreme, it's time to find a psychiatrist for your brother to take a look, it's probably as twisted as this tree......"

Just when Haiyan wanted to say something, a hearty laugh came from the bald little five at the door, "Hahaha!" Brother, the murderer is caught, come and see if it looks like it! ”
