It must be explained that the so-called "possession" and "control" seem to be similar, but in fact they are two different things. Possession is like buying a house, and after you buy it, you will live in it for a long time. "Being controlled" is like staying in a hotel or guest house, not staying for a long time, and only staying when needed. So these two look similar in comparison, but in fact the possession will be much more serious.

In principle, every living being has the possibility of being possessed by other ghosts, depending on the degree of resistance of the person himself to the ghosts and the strength of the ghost's abilities. Ghosts are, in a way, similar to illness, in that they target people with poor resistance, and this kind of action is often only due to the condition matching, not the cause and effect.

In metaphysics, compared with some of the more common cases of bumping into ghosts and evil spirits, cases of possession are not too common. If a ghost after death possesses someone else, it is like grabbing a house at a low price, and then refusing to leave anything. But if the ghosts of animals possess them, because they are not very intelligent, they will not think that this is a house, but only that it is their own nest, so they will often leave, come back, leave again, and come back again.

Judging from Granny Yang's condition and the clues I have found, it is indeed very possible. She is old, and although she is a rural woman, her body is weak after all. This gives the ghosts of animals who are everywhere looking for nests an opportunity. So I guess, could it be that the old cat ran out one day, and then died outside for some reason, it habitually returned to its own home, but because it was already a ghost, it lost its sense of proportion, and Granny Yang's body was weak, so it was exploited by the ghost of this cat?

Speculation is speculation after all, and I can't take suspicion as evidence. So I walked to the hall and asked Granny Yang about the old cat before the master came back.

She told me that her old cat was a black cat, which she had not raised since she was a child, but had come from herself. Originally, in rural areas, it was considered unlucky for a cat to come to the door on its own, let alone a black cat. But Granny Yang is alone, in addition to farming, the family does not even raise other poultry and livestock, and she is also lonely, a big cat came, and she didn't leave at home, so she went with the flow.

Granny Yang said that the cat was just looking for food at home at first, and Granny Yang specially prepared a small broken bowl for it. Every day, I eat the leftovers of my own food, and pour it into a bowl as my cat's food. There are many voles in the mountains, and after spring, the snakes gradually begin to come out of their holes. Since the black cat came to the house, the mice have obviously decreased, and before the cat was raised, she heard the movement in the house at night, and Granny Yang found that it was the mouse that came to steal food again, and after raising the cat, whenever she heard the movement again, Granny Yang knew that it was the black cat catching mice.

And this black cat is a little different from ordinary rural cats, it is very clingy. Because rural cats are not kept as pets, many rural cats are kept for the sole purpose of catching mice, just like raising dogs only to take care of the home. Originally, Granny Yang also used this black cat as a tool to catch mice, but the black cat always likes to drill between Granny Yang's feet, and when Granny Yang sits on the stool and dozes off, the black cat will also lie on her lap. Granny Yang said that on this mountain, there are only the three graves in the vegetable field that accompany me, the old woman, and after the old cat came, she was not so lonely. Even if it breaks things in the house and opens its mouth to scold, it has a target to scold.

Since I can't understand Granny Yang's so-called loneliness, I can't empathize. I asked Granny Yang and said, you recall carefully, you said earlier that this situation began to occur more than half a year ago, I just calculated the days, it should be exactly the time after the beginning of spring, right? Granny Yang thought about it and said yes, in those days, the old cat always ran out, and it was always called spring at night. I thought it was in heat, sensitive and impatient, so it would knock over the stool and scratch my wires.

In fact, I really want to tell Granny Yang, even if you have a dog, you may not be able to knock over such a heavy stool, let alone a cat? And if the wire is broken, the light will either not turn on, or the contact will be poor, and it will definitely not be so flickering and dimming. All because your cat left the house more than half a year ago, probably because of a relationship in heat, and died outside at that time. All this movement is caused by the ghost of your cat.

But I didn't say that I had to wait for Master to come back and report back to him. The animal's mind will be relatively simple, perhaps the old cat is used to seeing Granny Yang tear off a calendar every day, so when he was attached to Granny Yang, he also learned to do so. Maybe she saw Granny Yang scattering paper money on the grave when she worshiped her wife and children, so when she was possessed, she threw those torn calendars on the edge of the grave. And last night, maybe for some special reason, it squatted on the grave and called, and the sound attracted Granny Yang, but the old cat did not show up for Granny Yang to see, so Granny Yang thought it was the three graves, making a cat meow.

These conjectures of mine may seem absurd, but they are all plausible. I couldn't help but silently praise my excellent analytical ability, if I don't do this in the future, maybe I can apply for the public security organ and become a master of solving cases. This complacency flashed by because I saw the bowl of water on the ground at the moment, and if all this is true, then what is this "7"?

I think my guess should be more accurate, and the rest is just waiting for Master to come back and confirm it, so what does this mysterious number really mean? At this time, I thought of another thing that Granny Yang had said, that is, when I asked her if she had any events that I thought were actually the work of ghosts, she said that she had a dream.

The "old wife" in the dream beckoned her to follow along, and she also said that she just thought it was the old wife, but she was not sure, because she couldn't remember what the old wife looked like. Appearance? If a person can't remember a person's appearance, the height of the body should always have some memory, the "7" in this bowl, can it be said that it will be the same as the seemingly unrelated "h" in Tian Deping's house the day before yesterday, does it refer to the person?

So I stood up and tried to make a "7" with my body, which I couldn't do except bend down. If this apparition is human, then why is he bending down? Having a problem with your waist? Was it because of low back pain? So I asked Granny Yang, you said that you can't remember the appearance of your wife, so do you remember what illness he was born and died? Granny Yang said that it was because of heart disease. Although his heart did not reach his waist, I did not give up, and I then asked if he would bend over when he was sick, just like me.

With that, I bent over and made a look of heart attack. Granny Yang smiled and said, "Child, even if he doesn't have a heart attack, he usually bends over, he is an old hunchback.

I see, it turns out that the number "7" does refer to a person, a hunchbacked person! It's Granny Yang's wife!

I was very happy because I had finally solved the mystery of the development of the water bowl, but with it came new problems. According to my speculation just now, Granny Yang's situation is because of the old cat who died, why is the main reason for the water bowl to ask, but it is her wife?

Just when I was puzzled, Master pushed the door back and saw Granny Yang sitting on the side drinking water, so I asked her where she had gone. Granny Yang has no memory of that time, but I witnessed it with my own eyes. So I told Master the details of the situation, and then leaned into his ear and whispered my opinion and analysis of this and the development of the water bowl.

After hearing this, the master frowned slightly, and he said that the content of my analysis will not be very different, but there are two things that are completely unreasonable, one is that even if an animal is possessed, the phenomenon of possession will also be the animal's own habits, such as hiding under the bed, learning to meow, scratching the bed board, etc., and you will never learn to tear off the calendar and throw it in front of the grave.

I wanted to quibble a little bit about what is so strange in case this cat is smarter, but after thinking about it, I should not go for scolding. So I said a little angrily, then this is strange, could it be that Granny Yang has been dead for decades, is it afraid that she will forget to tear up the calendar, and still help her? With that, I pointed to the bowl of water on the ground.

My tone was a bit angry, not because I felt that what Master said was wrong, but because I was ashamed of my ignorance. Master whispered to me that in his opinion, the possibility of cats, dogs, and livestock becoming dead souls after death is extremely low that they can go home and follow their masters, and their IQ is not high, and most of them will go to the only path they see in front of them when they die, and if they go down, they will enter reincarnation. But the cat turned back, and it should have known that something was going to happen at home.

Master said that cats are inherently spiritual, and black cats are especially so. The cat's eye can see far more than the human eye. Cats are able to catch mice quickly and accurately even at night when they are not light, relying not only on their keen vision, but also on their strong senses, and they can even sense changes in mood and the energy field around them.

Master said, your analysis is right, this cat is indeed possessed by Granny Yang at some times, which will lead to Granny Yang's actions, but Granny Yang is its owner, even if it is a cat or dog, it also knows the Thanksgiving Picture, Granny Yang treats it well, so its possession is not as simple as finding a nest, in my opinion, it is to protect Granny Yang in its own way.

Master asked me, with what you know about cats, what will a cat do if it is scared? I said I would hide, like under the bed. Master asked again, what would it do if it hid under the bed and saw someone approaching? I said it would sound a warning demonstration and watch the approaching people.

The master stretched out his hands, and then pointed to the bottom of the bed in Granny Yang's bedroom, which seemed to say, you see, it's that simple.
