Chapter 35: The little girl who buried the cat and erected a monument

"Will there be any trouble next?" He Yin'er looked at Yu Zhile next to him. Although his face was pale, the bottom was there, and he was impatient.

"Who knows?"

The sun was shining, and Yu Zhile clapped his hands and yawned.

"It doesn't matter if it's troublesome, we can only endure it if there is trouble anyway."

Yu Zhile said indifferently, "Who called us crippled, crippled?" ”

He Yin'er was a mage with high offense and low defense, and no one was there to take care of her, so she died quickly.

And the warrior assistant who belonged to her, now sat there like a sick seedling, looking like she was going to burp at any moment.

If you are in trouble, you can only hide.

"Then you still threaten that old blind man, not afraid that he will break the jar? Determined to deal with you? ”

Yu Zhile shook his head, "As long as he is in the mind of a living person now, then he won't dare to do this." ”

"What's the explanation?" He Yin'er was a little puzzled.

Yu Zhile suddenly felt a little tired and didn't want to explain, he patted his ass and stood up, "You will understand in the future, figuring out human nature, knowing human nature, and using human nature are the basic principles for living in this world." ”

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, what kind of nonsense." He Yin'er pursed her lips, although she said that, she still thought about it in her head.

She stood up and followed Yu Zhile's side.

"Go out and take a look, there are some things that you need to see to know."

Yu Zhile hugged his head, walked out of the yard, and bathed in the sun.

Huai Village looks very large, the village road is vertical and horizontal, a cement road is far away, surrounded by mountains, forests and ridges,

A mountain village is not a small town, and the houses are not next to each other.

At most, one or two households side by side.

Walking along the path leading to the main road, they could see the occasional house standing on the hill in the distance.

It doesn't look like much, and it's all far away.

This is the countryside, which is very much in line with the depiction of ten miles and eight villages.

Occasionally, villagers were working in the fields, and when two people passed by, they would look at them with their hoes in their eyes.

It seems to be guessing whose baby this is, or whose baby's friend it is.

"There don't seem to be too many people here." He Yin'er looked at the villagers who were working in the fields, there were not many, only one or two, and only one from afar.

"Depending on the growth cycle of the crop, the timing of care is also different, everyone has their own things to do, things are different, you can't see people working in every field."

"It's like rice in a field." Yu Zhile pointed to a paddy field in front of him, where the rice was lush and green, and the yellow ears had not yet begun to hang.

"Some people have fish and shrimp in the fields, so they take care of them once in a while, but some people don't, so they don't need to take care of them, as long as it's not a big drought, they just have to wait for the rice to ripen, and they don't even need to look at it again."

"Farmers don't work every day, and they don't work at the same time."

"It's very different from the white-collar workers in the city who commute to work on time."

Yu Zhile withdrew his hand and put his hands in his pockets, "In the city, no matter the wind and rain, the scorching sun, as long as you want money, and there is no reason not to go, you have to go to work, but it's different here, it's too hot, let's wait for the temperature to drop down before we do it, it's just at home when it rains heavily, it's very free and leisurely, but unfortunately it doesn't make much money." ”

"But for them, it doesn't matter."

He Yin'er looked at Yu Zhile, "You grew up in the countryside?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Zhile nodded.

"No wonder." He Yin'er understood in her heart.

Looking at the scenery that she would not be able to see for a lifetime, He Yin'er's eyes flickered slightly, "I suddenly understood why some people in the city like the countryside." ”

"This one works well." Yu Zhile laughed.

"People in the mountain villages want to go out of the mountains, but people in the city want to go out into the mountains."

"Countrymen don't understand anything when they go into the city, they see everything fresh, but they are said to be dirt buns, and people in the city are entertained with delicious food and drink when they go into the mountains, and they are afraid that the hospitality will not be good, and they have to be careful when they speak, what do you say is the truth?"

Yu Zhile looked at He Yin'er.

He Yin'er frowned slightly, "Is that so?" ”

"Isn't it?" Yu Zhile asked rhetorically.

He Yin'er fell silent.

Yu Zhile shook his head, and suddenly he stopped, his eyes resting on a crying little girl.

The little girl was holding a cat in her hand, which looked like a dead cat, the kind that was already hard.

"What's wrong? What's the problem? He Yin'er noticed the little girl, and also noticed the cat, it was a black cat, not big, just weaned.

The black cat stuck out its tongue, rolled its eyes, and was dead.

"Take a look." Yu Zhile found a place to stand, he wanted to see what the little girl did with the dead cat.

He Yin'er was a little strange, but didn't say anything, just watched.

The little girl stopped under a big tree crying, then took out a small hoe that had been placed here beforehand from the side, and began to dig a hole under the big tree.

After a while, a small pit was dug out, the little girl pouted, carefully put the black cat in, and then reluctantly muttered something, after about two or three minutes, she buried the black cat, and after a while, a small mound appeared.

Then, in the surprised eyes of the two, the little girl actually took out a piece of wood and stood in front of the small mound.

Immediately afterwards, the little girl did an extremely outrageous thing, she actually knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times to the little dirt bag.

After doing all this, the little girl picked up the hoe and left step by step.

Yu Zhile looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Although He Yin'er didn't understand, she felt a little weird.

"This ...... Is it normal? He Yin'er asked hesitantly, she didn't know if it was the customs here or the little girl's own opinion.

"Normal fart......" Yu Zhile rubbed his face, "Wait here for a while, if the girl's family doesn't come, let's go fish out the cat and hang it on the tree, and we have to get away." ”

"Something is going to happen?" He Yin'er's eyes narrowed slightly.

", believe it or not, if no one deals with it, something will happen at night." Yu Zhile stared at the small mound, "You open your eyes and see if there's anything wrong." ”

Hearing this, He Yin'er did not hesitate, her closed eyes opened, and the green and faint ghost eyes looked directly at the small mound of dirt, directly penetrating the covered soil.

The black cat was motionless under the dirt, and its open eyes were covered by the dirt, but suddenly, the black cat's miserable white eyes turned sharply, staring directly at He Yin'er.

He Yin'er's face changed violently, and she closed her eyes directly.

"It'...... It's not dead? He Yin'er was a little puzzled, and her eyes were a little uncertain.

"It's dead, it's dead, but it's starting to turn ghostly." Yu Zhile took a deep breath, "There are few living people in this village, and that little girl may also be a ghost, but in this village, she is a living person, and her previous actions are equivalent to transforming her identity, making the cat that should have died become a ghost." ”

"Guess?" He Yin'er looked at Yu Zhile.

"It's just speculation." Yu Zhile let out a breath, "In a normal village, the existence of one ghost is enough to make this village a ghost village, but how many ghosts are there in this village?" ”

He Yin'er recalled slightly, if you don't count what they encountered outside the village, then there are at least two in this village, which is only the least.

"A lot." He Yin'er was silent for a while and said.

"This is the weirdness of the Spirited Land, which means that there seems to be nothing wrong with it, but everything is running according to the established rules, and as long as the laws are triggered, the village will reveal its original appearance."

"So, I didn't go to the embroidered shoes immediately after I woke up, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go out after I got them."

Yu Zhile looked at the mound, "In the supernatural land, you have to consider folk customs, for example, now, when a cat dies, it must be hung on a tree, not buried in the soil, even if it is not a cat, the rest of the dead animals, dogs, chickens, ducks, geese or birds, these can be buried in the soil, but it also depends on the situation, anyway, no matter what, no monument can be erected." ”

"This is a folk custom, in a supernatural place, most of the folk customs that deviate from it will have an accident."

"These are all what Grandpa Yu told you?" He Yin'er blinked and looked at Yu Zhile.

"Why can't cats be buried in the ground, what do you say?"

She was a little curious.

"Also, why can't a monument be erected? What's the point of this? ”

Looking at He Yin'er's curious eyes, Yu Zhile was silent for a while and began to tell the folk customs he knew.

"The ancients often said that cats have nine lives......"
