To be honest, I don't like cats. Comparatively, I prefer dogs.

Dogs give me the feeling that they are loyal and upright, but cats are always yin and yang. That's why I was able to be good friends with Aunt Xu's big dog, but I had to fight her big cat every two days on average.

However, although I don't like cats, I don't like them, but I don't like them, and I don't like them. But at this moment, when I heard that "meow" in my ears, from my tail vertebrae down my spine to the top of my head, I had a feeling of hairs standing on end, which aroused sexy goosebumps in this cold weather.

Because of that cat meow, the voice was low, and it seemed to be suppressing the throat. It wasn't loud enough, but in this small, quiet environment, every ounce of volume penetrated directly into my eardrums. Frightened, I immediately took a few steps back in the direction of the door, my eyes fixed on the bed. As I stood still, a black shadow the size of a basin suddenly burst out from under the bed with great speed, and before I could react, it passed under my crotch and escaped through the door behind me.

Although I couldn't make out what the shadow was, combined with the cat meow I had just heard, I thought it was a cat. Could this be the old cat that Granny Yang said she had at home? It fled so fast that by the time I turned my head to see where it was, it was long gone.

When I turned my head to look back, suddenly another "meow~~" came out, perhaps because of my preconceived idea, I immediately focused my eyes on the bed under the wooden bed. Could it be that there's a cat down there? The second meow I heard at this moment was exactly the same as the first, that is, the cat that escaped just now was not the one that meowed. The bed board is about a foot and a half high from the ground, and if a person lies on his side, he can also get under the bed, let alone a cat, even if ten cats are more than enough. So I lowered my body and looked at the bottom of the bed, originally I thought I would see a cat with glowing eyes squatting there, but I didn't know that I saw an old woman lying flat under the bed, her face facing my direction, no expression, staring at me with her eyes open, this old woman was none other than Granny Yang.

She just looked at me like that, and then suddenly showed a weird smile, and then let out a nasal "meow~" from her mouth.

It turned out that the cat meow I heard just now was the cat meow that Granny Yang learned. Although I am not very smart, I also know that an old woman of this age will never hide under the bed to learn how to scare people, so I know that Granny Yang must have something wrong with her. Because I was a little scared, I didn't just go and pull Granny Yang out from under the bed, but just looked at her. The cat meow imitated by Granny Yang has a relatively strong nasal sound, even if it is really a cat meow, this kind of call is the kind of call when the cat is a little angry and ready to bow over and attack. This can be proved from my rich experience in fighting with Aunt Xu's big cat in the past.

But after screaming, Granny Yang's expression regained calm, her eyes gradually closed, and after more than ten seconds, there was no movement, as if she was asleep. Is this sleepwalking? Although I have never seen sleepwalkers, I have heard Master describe that sleepwalkers look similar to awake people, they can see things, they know if there are obstacles around them, and they turn their dreams into personal actions. Therefore, sleepwalking is a disease, which can cause schizophrenia in severe cases, and if an aggressive person happens to have sleepwalking, it is actually a bit dangerous for the family. Granny Yang's current appearance looks a bit similar to what Master said about sleepwalking.

Seeing that she was asleep, I slowly squatted closer. "Granny Yang, Granny Yang!" I shouted softly, not daring to wake her up at once, an old man of her age, it is better to be careful. After shouting a few times, Granny Yang shook her head slightly, and then made a hmm-huh sound from her nose, as if a person was about to wake up. So I reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and gave her a few more nudges, and this time she opened her eyes and looked at me blankly.

I pretended to be calm and smiled and said to her, Granny Yang, why did you run under the bed and go to sleep, come out quickly, be careful not to hit your head. Judging from Granny Yang's expression, she seemed to wonder why she was sleeping under the bed, so she stretched out her hand and handed it to me, and I slowly pulled her out from under the bed, and after helping her up, I asked her to sit on the edge of the bed to rest.

After sitting down, Granny Yang was still at a loss, touching her forehead while looking around sluggishly. I said to her, just now I came back with Master, and found that you were not at home, and I thought that you had gone to the barren slope of the back mountain, and my Master went to look for you, but I didn't expect you to hide under the bed and fall asleep, hahaha. I used a joking tone to tell Granny Yang about such a ridiculous act of her own, trying to use my pretense to relax, so that the old man would not be afraid, but I still failed, and after Granny Yang heard what I said, she suddenly came back to her senses, and then said to me that she did not climb into it by herself, but why she got into it, she herself did not know.

I said to her, don't worry, think about it slowly, after I went out with my master just now, we let you sit on the chair, what did you do afterwards? Granny Yang thought for a while and said that she felt thirsty at that time, so she went to the kitchen to scoop up and drink, and then when she walked into the kitchen, I didn't remember anything.

I looked back at the kitchen outside the door, almost 10 meters away from Granny Yang's bed, if it was because I was sleepwalking because my body did what I was doing in my dreams after falling asleep, then at least I had to fall asleep first. This Granny Yang didn't make sense to fall asleep instantly when she walked to the kitchen, right? How can a man fall asleep while standing, and he is not a horse? And even if she fell asleep standing up, she would have to turn around and walk a distance of about 10 meters, then lie down and move herself under the bed little by little, wouldn't this be too incredible for an old woman of this age?

So I secretly kept an eye out, and I planned that when Master came back, the kitchen would have to be properly inspected. Because I think Granny Yang is not sleepwalking, but is controlled by some kind of external energy, and in the case of her own loss of memory, she is manipulated by this energy. And cats like to drill the bottom of the bed, and cats also like to wander around the kitchen, plus Granny Yang's weird cat meows, so I guess that the energy that controls Granny Yang's mind comes from a cat.

This cat is very likely to be the old cat that has been missing for a long time in Granny Yang's house, which can directly affect the living, which means that the old cat has died. So the black shadow that came out from under the bed just now is probably the ghost of the old cat, and the reason why I can't see the appearance of the black shadow clearly is because the black shadow has no appearance, just like the few lonely ghosts I caught in the inner room at the funeral of the old man Wang a while ago.

When I think about it, I can basically conclude that this is a. And since the opponent is a cat, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with, but there may be no way to communicate, so you can only forcibly capture it. So I helped Granny Yang to the hall, then moved the water bowl on the table to the ground, and then took the quilt and filled Granny Yang with a glass of water, telling her not to think about this matter, first rest and drink saliva, and I went into the bedroom again, leaned down, and watched the situation under the bed with a flashlight.

Since the bed is placed in the corner, the space under the bed is surrounded by walls on both sides. The house is white-plastered with red clay walls, and the cobwebs that have been formed under the bed for many years are now particularly obvious against the white walls. Even if you are a person who is not hygienic, you will not just get into it and lie down. However, I noticed a few details, one is that there are many claw marks on the back of the bed board under the bed, which is not difficult to distinguish, as if the cat used the bed board to grind the claws under the bed, but in addition to the fine cat paw marks, there are some thicker, three long claw marks.

I stretched out my hand to touch the claw marks, and then used my own hand to combine the marks with the mark, which can match the shape of my hand, so I think that this kind of claw marks are scratched by people. Judging from the newness of the traces, it was not just caught today, which means that it is not the first time that Granny Yang has drilled under the bed.

This suspicion was confirmed in subsequent discoveries, as the ground under this bed is relatively clean, as it is usually easy to accumulate dust under the bed. It seems that the original dust has been wiped with something, and it feels like it has become much thinner. But just now, when I was helping Granny Yang out, I wanted to help her pat off the dust on her body, but I didn't find much dust. In addition, after Granny Yang lay down, there were several obvious footprints on the wall in the direction of her feet. These footprints are not shoe prints made by wearing shoes, but the pale prints of bare feet. But when I pulled Granny Yang out from under the bed, she was wearing shoes and socks.

These clues suggest that Granny Yang may often lie under the bed like this, and sometimes lie in without shoes and socks when she is sleeping, and those foot prints are the best proof. This is not the first time this has happened, but it has already begun to appear before Master and I came, and even half a year before Granny Yang herself said.

As for why she doesn't remember what happened before every time she wakes up, it is likely that after she fell asleep, she got out of bed by herself, then lay down under the bed, and then returned to her bed before waking up.

Could it be that he was possessed by a cat?
