Chapter Twenty-Four: The Black Cat Ebony

At half past eleven, Liujia Lane was unusually quiet.

Even the annoying chirping of cicadas has died down. Only the heat has not completely disappeared, and the night is still extremely hot.

In the third building of Liujia Lane, Liu Lou, the second eldest of Liu Wu's family, has just gotten off middle school. He had a miner's lamp on his head and was naked. With a cigarette in his mouth, he hummed a song that only he could understand.

After middle school, he drank some sweet potato wine. It's a habit, and it's a helplessness. Coal miners, who work in a cold and damp underground environment for a long time. Generally speaking, there are rheumatism, frequent pain this and that.

Sometimes I can't sleep at night without drinking.

There is an old saying that if you create evil in your previous life, you will strike iron in this life, and your ass will be warped and your stomach will be tucked. In fact, if you want to rank the hardship of the occupation, coal workers are at least the top three, if not the first.

But most of the children of Pingkuang are content. After all, compared to some farmers who dig in the fields all year round and are often hungry with their chests and backs. The treatment of workers in the coal mining system is quite good. Fixed wages and various welfare policies make these children of Pingkuang feel bitter.

Liu Lou was drunk, walked and walked, and arrived at the mouth of Liujia Alley. At a glance, you can see that there is still a light outside the door of your house, and you seem to be half tired of it. Liu Lou quickened his pace, hoping to get up early and go home. As soon as he stepped into the mouth of Liu's alley, a black cat suddenly jumped out of the side and stopped on the road, staring at Liu Lou motionless.

Liu Lou was startled, took three steps back, and looked at it and found that the black cat turned out to be the cat raised by the sixth uncle next door, Ebony, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. The people in Liujiaxiang, in fact, most of them are related to each other. So the relationship is good, some children eat, go out and serve a bowl, can eat from the end of the alley to the end of the alley.

Liu Lou has a better relationship with the sixth uncle's family, after all, they live next door. And Uncle Six's cat Ebony, Liu Lou has fed it since it was a child. Ebony is not like some domestic cats, which are fed and eaten by individuals. In the entire Liujia Alley, except for the sixth uncle himself, only Liu Lou fed it to eat.

Liu Lou has always felt that he has a fate with it. Sometimes there is a fish at home, and I don't want to eat it myself, so I have to keep it for it.

Ebony also became more and more human, and a few times he came home from the night shift. You could see it hanging far behind him, and he didn't turn away until he got home.

Ebony heard from the old man in the family that the black cat was psychic, and he also believed that Ebony was protecting him every time.

Today Ebony is very wrong, staring at himself all the time and blocking the way.

Liu Lou knew that the situation was wrong, so he woke up and shouted in a low voice.

"Ebony. ”

The black cat Ebony didn't walk over as usual, but kept staring at him. Suddenly, it exploded all over its body, took a look, and quickly ran away.

Liu Lou felt a chill behind him, rushing to the bottom of his heart, and his whole body couldn't stand the trembling. Liu Lou knew that there must be something behind him.

He stood upright, not daring to look back.

Liu Lou remembered that the old man said that there are three yang fires on people's shoulders to protect themselves. If you turn around, the three yang fires will be extinguished.

Liu Lou is getting colder and colder, shivering with cold, and there is always a voice in his ear that makes him turn around, sometimes like his dead mother, sometimes like his grandfather.

As soon as these voices appeared, Liu Lou made up his mind that he would die on the spot and never look back.

More than ten meters away from him, two phantoms loomed in the darkness.

Both phantoms are watching this side.

A golden phantom appeared on one of the chests, exclaiming.

"This kid is a bit clever. In this case, you can also hold back and not let the three fires on your shoulders go out. I have to say that he is also a talent. ”

The other silver phantom on his chest did not answer immediately, but looked around. Finally found the black cat that had just run away, it was still lying on the tree not far from Liu Lou, trembling all over, but it didn't leave, its eyes kept staring at Liu Lou.

"That's a member of the Liu family, even if he changes his surname to Liu, he is also a member of the Liu family. But he should be a good guy. ”

A golden phantom appeared on his chest, and he said strangely.

"How did you see that? Did you bring the mirror from the temple door?"

A silver shadow appeared on his chest and did not answer, and his hand pointed to the place where the cat was hiding.

A golden phantom appeared on his chest, and he was surprised.

"Hey, it's unbelievable that this black cat didn't go far. The black cat is the most afraid of death, and generally it can't deal with things, even if it is the owner, it will at most warn and flee away. Well, now I believe what you say, he's such a nice guy. It's a pity that I am destined to die here today. ”

The silver phantom on his chest shook his head.

"With this god, he can't die. ”

The silver shadow on his chest said softly in the direction of the black cat.

"It's called Ebony, I heard him call you that. Since you can decide, then your wish is accepted by God. ”

Ebony, the black cat hiding in the tree, looked this way, and the very humane front paws were raised, and he bowed down.

A silver phantom appeared on his chest, and he stepped forward, revealing his true body. He has a green face, a golden hoop on his head, a blue robe, and a small chain in his hand.

"The silver lock general of the capital city god temple is here, and the fierce spirits must not run rampant. ”

Before the words fell, the chain in General Yin's hand grew with the wind, exploding to hundreds of meters long and mopping the ground. The chains were on the ground, turning in circles, slowly forming a formation.

The formation centered on Liu Lou and slowly spread. A sharp ghost cry rang out in the air.

Liu Lou couldn't see the chains surrounding him, and he couldn't hear the sound of ghosts crying. But I can feel that people are relaxed, and the cold meaning is gone, and at this time, a strong mid-bass male voice came from my ears.

"I am the capital city god sat down with the silver lock general, and the fierce spirit was trapped by this god. Don't look back, keep running home. ”

Liu Lou was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, nodding frantically. There are gods in the world, and no fierce spirit dares to pretend to be a god.

Liu Lou obviously knew this truth, and the heart he had been carrying it was put down. At this time, the tears and snot that he had just frozen were all flowing down all at once, all over his face, and Liu Lou didn't wipe them.

Liu Lou was afraid that he would turn back, nodded slightly, and ran home with all his strength, saying non-stop as he ran.

"Thank you, General Yinsuo, thank you, General Yinsuo, you are very kind, the kid will definitely go to the temple to kowtow to your idol in person. ”

At this time, the strong mid-bass male voice sounded in his ears again.

"No, you owe no one. Ebony says you're good to it, and it's willing to die for you. After three days, Ebony will die. In these three days, you have been nice to it. ”

Liu Lou, who had been running all the way home, suddenly stopped. Because the stop was too urgent, the person kept moving forward, and almost turned over.

Liu Lou finally stabilized his steps, but he stood motionless, only his shoulders kept shaking.

After about ten seconds, Liu Lou burst into tears. At this time, a sharp cat meow came from behind, and Liu Lou's whole body trembled, and he was about to look back.

Another cat cry came anxiously, and Liu Lou screamed and rushed all the way.

Liu Lou still has more than ten meters to run to his house, and the lantern hung up in his house yesterday has been lit by itself, and there is a faint light on it.

A gunshot pierced the silence of the entire night sky, and a bullet exploded at Liu Lou's feet, and Liu Lou was blown five or six meters high by the air wave.

When Liu Lou's bullet exploded into the sky, he thought he was dead. But when he fell, he found himself intact. Liu Lou saw a familiar figure on his left, standing with a knife. When Liu Lou looked at him, he was also looking at himself, his face full of apologies.

At this time, the gunshots rang out again, and a bullet went straight to Liu Lou's face. This is a headshot, and Liu Lou himself didn't react. The person standing on the left had already moved first, and in an instant, he took three steps and slashed.

The movement was so fast that Liu Lou didn't see it clearly at all, he only felt that there was a sound of breaking the air in his left ear, and when he reacted, he saw a hot bullet falling on the ground and burning a small crater.

At this time, a huge figure in the darkness behind him instantly stepped over Liu Lou's side and rushed straight towards the location of the gunshot. In less than thirty seconds, a scream came from that direction.

After the screams rang out, Liu Changsheng bowed to the ebony position very formally.

"Brother Lou, I'm sorry. Didn't expect Ebony to do that. ”

Liu Lou stared at Liu Changsheng deadly, his two eyes were bloodshot, and they were blood-red.

"Changsheng, kill them for me, and avenge Ebony. ”

Liu Changsheng nodded affirmatively, and showed a very weird smile at Liu Lou. After that smile unfolded, Liu Lou felt that the chill in his body rushed straight to his head, a hundred times colder than the yin chill just now. He didn't dare to move a single step, feeling that if he moved, he would immediately splatter blood and his head was in a different place.

Liu Lou remembered in his mind that when the sixth uncle told him mythological stories, he always said that there were swordsmen who rushed to the sky. At that time, he never understood what murderous spirit was.

Now that he understood, Changsheng chuckled lightly with his sword, and his murderous aura soared into the sky.

Liu Changsheng pointed at the ground with the tip of his knife and said softly.

"Brother Lou, when I go home, stand upstairs and watch, I will definitely not let Ebony die in vain. My old Liu family is not only invincible when the old man is alive, but I, Liu Changsheng, can also kill the enemy with a knife. ”

When Liu Changsheng spoke, Liu Lou felt that the chill on his body was gone, nodded at Liu Changsheng, and ran home without looking back.

Once inside, close the door quickly. At this time, the lantern hanging outside his door was all lit up.

After Liu Changsheng saw Liu Lou enter the house, he dragged the knife all the way forward, and the tip of the knife splashed sparks on the ground. He walked faster and faster, and the sparks on the ground shone brighter and brighter. It's as if a firebird is about to fly out of Mars.
