Night 136 An old cat
Panic at midnight, please close your eyes when it's dark! I'm a ghostly maniac, and I'll start our story "An Old Cat" today!
Grandma Wang is kind-hearted, both for people and for small animals.
Grandma Wang is a retired worker, her wife died very early, they only have one daughter, and they married to other places, and they can't come back a few times a year, so Grandma Wang is the only one in the family on weekdays.
It is said that the elderly don't like to be lively, in fact, that's just a prevarication, Grandma Wang also hopes that her daughter can be by her side, but the girl who marries out, the water that spills out, and the children are now grown up, they have a lot of things to be busy with, it is impossible to be by their side all day, and they can come back to see themselves in a year, and the old people are already very content.
Later, Grandma Wang also found a lot of companions, don't misunderstand that these companions are not old men of anyone's family, but a group of abandoned and homeless kittens and dogs.
With the company of these little guys, Grandma Wang's face also showed a long-lost smile, and her mental state became better and better.
On this day, Grandma Wang was in the yard, basking in the sun with these kittens and puppies she adopted, when she heard someone chanting the Dharma horn and saying loudly, "Ani Buddha ~!".
When Grandma Wang walked out of the door, she saw that she was an ascetic monk wandering around, wanting to get a little food from the old man's house.
The ascetic monks have to work harder than other monks, and every day they only have nine households, and if there is nothing to eat in the nine households, then they will be hungry all day.
Grandma Wang was originally a great good person, and when she saw such a monk, she took out the best things in the house to entertain the monks, and the monks did not eat meat, and it happened that Grandma Wang only ate vegetarian food on weekdays.
The monk only needed two white-flour steamed buns, and was about to leave but found that the water in the gourd on his back had been drunk, so he asked Grandma Wang for some water.
Grandma Wang invited the monks into the courtyard to wait, and the cats and dogs in the courtyard who were originally basking in the sun leisurely exploded when they saw the monks walking into the courtyard.
When Grandma Wang entered the house to fill up the water and return it to the ascetic monk, the monk kindly reminded Grandma Wang to find a good family to send these kittens and puppies out as soon as possible.
Because cats and dogs are more spiritual animals, raising one or two can watch the home and accompany the owner for recreation and boredom, but if you raise more, you will absorb popularity, which will endanger the body of its owner.
What the monk said, Grandma Wang was convinced, but she had lived with these kittens and puppies for a while, and she adopted them to prevent them from wandering and being persecuted by gangsters, and now she let her send them away with her own hands, and she was really reluctant to do so.
Sending away the ascetics, Grandma Wang looked at the kittens and puppies in the yard in a daze, thinking about the words of the ascetic monk in her mind, the monk said, these kittens and puppies have spirituality and will absorb popularity, and they will hurt their bodies when the time comes, but they have been with them for so long, and they have not found any harm to themselves.
And with her own pension and her daughter's financial support from time to time, she also has enough ability to raise these little ones, so Grandma Wang decided to continue to adopt these little things and no longer pay attention to the words of the ascetics.
The days passed plainly day after day, Grandma Wang's body has always been very strong, and those stray kittens and dogs, under the careful care of the elderly, have all become chubby and very cute, and they have become a lot bigger.
The children in the neighborhood also liked these little guys very much, and ran to Grandma Wang's house from time to time, and Grandma Wang's house became more lively with these children, and the smile on her face became brighter.
This morning, Grandma Wang got up very early, he wanted to cook food for the little ones at home, they ate very simple, usually boiled some porridge, plus some small shrimp and small fish and other things that can enhance the taste.
After it is done, Grandma Wang will put these boiled porridge in a row of small plates in the living room against a wall, Grandma Wang will use a small spoon to put the porridge in these small plates, and then use the small spoon to knock the pot, hear the knocking sound, those kittens and dogs will rush to eat.
Grandma Wang looked at these little ones with a loving face as if she was looking at her children, and suddenly her face changed, because she found that there was a big cat called "Lao Bian'er" who did not come to eat.
Unlike other adopted kittens and puppies, this big cat called "Lao Bian'er" is a cat raised by Grandma Wang's family very early, which was given to her by Grandma Wang's wife before her death, and it has been nearly 20 years now!
This has reached the maximum age of cats, the physical condition of the big flower cat, every day is also obviously declining, Grandma Wang is most worried about the day the big flower cat will suddenly leave her.
Missing the big cat, Grandma Wang was suddenly anxious, shouted the cat's name loudly, and began to search all over the yard, and finally found the stiff body of the big cat next to the stove in the kitchen.
Grandma Wang fainted on the ground because she couldn't stand the blow of the sudden loss of the big cat, and was found by the neighbor's child, told the adults in the family, and sent Grandma Wang to the hospital.
Fortunately, Grandma Wang's body was fine, but she was in a hurry, and she was old, so she passed out.
After resting in the hospital for a while, Grandma Wang recovered and was discharged, and the old man's daughter rushed back as soon as she knew the news of her mother's fainting, and accompanied the old man until he was discharged from the hospital, and personally sent the old man home.
When Grandma Wang's daughter heard that the old man fainted because a cat died, she was very angry, so she gave away all these kittens and puppies or threw them away directly during the old man's hospitalization.
As soon as Grandma Wang walked in the door, she wanted to see the little ones she had adopted, but she couldn't see their shadows, and her daughter was worried that the old man would faint again, so she said that the little ones had been given away by herself.
Grandma Wang didn't blame her daughter, but on the third day after being discharged from the hospital, Grandma Wang passed away inexplicably.
Stopped at the door and looked into the courtyard, pinched his fingers and suddenly became suspicious, and then walked into the courtyard, with the permission of Grandma Wang's daughter, the ascetic glanced at Grandma Wang in the coffin, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"Sin is really a sin, I can't imagine that the truth of the matter is like this~!" Before he finished speaking, the monk left.
It turned out that Grandma Wang's longevity should have been exhausted a long time ago, and it was these little guys who were renewing the life of the old man, and a while ago I found that the old man's life might be life-threatening, so the big cat exchanged his life for Grandma Wang's life!
