Chapter 40: The Mysterious Crisis (Part II)
Dagui was honestly afraid, and he didn't care what the decoration workers thought, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, like pounding garlic!
He prayed silently, almost in tears, begging his mother to teach him how to catch the cat, and the cat would not be removed...... Their family has endless troubles, and their own accumulation over the years ...... It's also in vain.
Although the shrine table was eaten in a mess, the rotten wood stakes ...... Or rotten wood stakes, which did not give any revelation because of the piety of the nobles.......
He wiped the dirt off his forehead and went home in a bad mood, but his wife asked him where he had been so late...... After some persecution and verbosity, Dagui poured his anger on his wife's head and beat her severely.
Although the two had a fight, they had the same dream after sleeping, this time they didn't dream that their grandfather came home, but dreamed that the two of them went to the Niangniang Temple together, and it was still a dilapidated house with broken doors and ventilation on all sides.
But sitting in the temple is a complete and polished wood carving Niangniang, next to... There was also a golden boy who looked like a boy of good fortune, with a hazy red halo all over his body, like a god descending from heaven!
Dagui was in awe, his knees were weak, and he knelt down, his mother-in-law was a little confused, just looking at the Western scenery, looking curiously, was dragged by Dagui, angry eyes and teeth, and knelt down tremblingly.
Dagui kowtowed and prayed, saying that the mother-in-law was not sensible, please don't be angry, she was honestly afraid, the cat demon was not caught, and she failed to live up to her mother's entrustment!
The lady on the shrine desk did not speak, but there was a sudden thunder outside the temple, it rained heavily, the wind was raging, and the broken door panel that was blowing was "crackling" as if it was about to fly, and sharp lightning flashed across the night sky, and the room was snow-white.
The two of them were frightened, kneeling on the ground and shaking together, Dagui cried and begged for forgiveness...... Said he was stupid, but he didn't expect the cat demon to have a rescuer, an old leather man brought a group of rats to save it, so he messed things up, begged Niangniang to give some inspiration, this time he will not make a mistake, and said that he blamed himself, he knew it earlier..... Kill the cat demon first, and then send it to be made into a roasted cat.
The thunderstorm continued, and the lady and the "good money boy" didn't say a word, as if they were dead things, and just looked at them silently. The broken temple leaked rain, and the rain cement slurry seeping from the roof hole seemed to be poured on the two of them like "long eyes", and soon the two of them became mud figures, and the surroundings around them became mud pits, like pigsties.
Dagui was extremely desperate, thinking that this was when Niangniang was punishing herself and would not forgive herself anymore, when suddenly a lightning flashed and the ground was snow-white, and he saw a black shadow, and someone was standing behind them.
The two of them turned their heads sharply, but saw an old man holding a cane, wet from the rain, looking at them with a cold face.
The noble couple was extremely frightened, and their minds were nervous and confused, this old man ..... I've never seen it before, and I'm still wearing ancient clothes, like a ghost!
But..... If it was a ghost, there shouldn't be a shadow of the lightning just now? Dagui is a man after all, so he tried to stabilize his mind and asked who the old man was? Go into the house to avoid the rain, and don't get drenched outside all the time.
The old man snorted angrily, glanced at Dagui, entered the house, took out a fire fold, put a candle, and lit it on the drenched shrine table, and said that it was strange, after the candle was lit, the thunderstorm outside stopped, and the wind was much lighter, and the whole world was ...... It seemed to stop in an instant.
Without waiting for Dagui to ask, the old man introduced himself first, saying that it was the former temple in this temple, and it had been more than 200 years since he died......
Because it is in a dream, people's thinking is different from when they wake up, knowing that the other party is not human, Dagui and his wife..... I didn't feel anything afraid, but I was very curious and looked at the old man in awe.
The old man sat on a rotten Taishi chair next to the shrine and told Dagui that he and Dagui's grandfather were good friends, and he couldn't bear to see their family fall into ruins, so he was willing to come forward and give Dagui a few words.
The noble couple just wanted to be grateful to Dade and kowtow to the old man, the old man's face changed instantly, and he stood up and scolded them, saying that as the village head, he was not godly at all, and his family was so rich.
Dagui cried bitterly, saying that he had arranged for someone to repair it, and begged the temple to wish his grandfather forgiveness, and begged his mother..... Then give the magic magic fairy prescription and catch the cat demon to get rid of the trouble. He recounted the process of capturing the cat demon and then being rescued by the rats, saying that the cat had helpers to help control the mice.......
After listening to Dagui's report...... The old man's eyes rolled slightly, and after thinking about it, he told Dagui what to do next......
.......
Jiang Ming was on the roof of the rural credit cooperative, reflecting and pondering..... After all, it's not a solution, this world is dominated by humans, since... The woodcarved fox can control humans, so there's always a way to catch him. Whether it is monitoring or a camera, it is in vain to escape to the ends of the earth, rather than being so bad at pulling and hiding and living, it is better to find the real body of the wood carved fox and be tough with it!
Jiang Ming is still very confident in these hundreds or even thousands of mice, they are almost pervasive, and they will definitely be able to find the hiding place of the wood-carved fox, isn't it wood, the rats gnaw wood, it is definitely a good hand! This time, it will be eaten cleanly, and there will not be even a single scum left.
As for Huang Ya, Jiang Ming was still very sad in his heart, he had ..... before Always treat it as a tool and a dog's leg, but since Huang Ya rescued him from the clutches of the squint-eyed man, Jiang Ming has completely changed his opinion of Huang Ya, and has regarded him as his most loyal comrade-in-arms, a huge weasel, how can people not be sad ...... if they say no, it will be gone?
He was still feeling sad when he suddenly ..... The bell on his neck, "jingle bell, jingle bell" rang for a few seconds, in this quiet night, the slightest sound was particularly obvious, Jiang Ming was shocked! I don't know what kind of moth came out again, this bell ...... Are you calling the police to yourself? Is it not safe on the roof of this bank?
He looked around nervously, climbed up to the top of the building and looked down, but found nothing suspicious, and after a while, the bell rang again, this time for a little longer, a full minute!
Jiang Ming was confused, and couldn't figure out what was going on? Why is this bell ringing? Could it be ..... That fat rat, is it still alive, and it wants to threaten itself? But it shouldn't be, Brother Qiang has already gnawed it to pieces.
Even more terrible things were still to come, as the bell rang unhurriedly, Jiang Ming felt that he was getting more and more sleepy, and his eyelids couldn't open, as if he was ...... He was about to fall asleep again, and the reason in his mind told him that he didn't dare to sleep, he didn't dare to sleep, and if he did, he would never wake up again......
But..... Nothing was up to him, Jiang Ming was groggy and took cat steps, and finally his body went limp, and he fell on the cement slab on the roof of the bank.
