Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 136: past

() "Of course, after more than 20 years have passed, the old one didn't know it was still there, but now this cat is only two or three years old." Dad Jiao said.

Who knew that old woman shook her head, "This cat is a male, but it was only a mother before."

Father Jiao: "..." Why didn't I know it was just a mother? !! And grandma, you never said that!

Without paying attention to Dao Jiao's face, Zheng Tan was just puzzled by the man lying on the lounge chair.

Lying down! How did this old woman know her mother and mother? !!

Zheng Tan remembers that he always faced this side when he came here, and from a human perspective, shouldn't he look at the "back" and confirm the male and female? Besides, Zheng Tan hasn't been as exposed as other cats.

Suddenly, Zheng Tan's thinking rushed. I didn't expect this old woman to be quite insignificant.

"Is it scolding me?" The old lady lying on the deck chair looked at Zheng Tan, focusing on Dad.

Zheng Tan: "..."

Dad Jiao drew on his face, and some did not know how to answer.

The old lady didn't seem to be planning to wait for Dao Jiao's answer, and then asked, "Did you buy a car?"

Dao Jiao nodded. "Well, I bought it for a few months."

"That's just right." The old lady opened a cabinet by the side of the reclining chair, pulled out a pendant from the drawer, and handed it to Dao Jiao, "Sent you."

Zheng Tan glanced at the seemingly ordinary pendant. There were many similar pendants on the stalls set up by students around Chuhua University, just a few dollars, and the wholesale price was cheaper. Although this old lady said "send", Zheng Tan thought that if it wasn't for Dao Jiao brought the gift. This old woman won't even take out a few cents.

After Dao Jiao took the thing and thanked him, the old woman smiled to reveal the false teeth in her mouth, and nodded at Zheng Tan, "This cat is well kept. It is also a fate, and it can bring blessing."

The latter sentence Zheng Tan loves to listen to, can bring blessings and the like. Yuan Zhiyi also said that when thinking of Zheng Tan, there is a little bit of confusion.

Although Dao Jiao didn't believe in those nihilistic things, he had to admit that by now, his cat has indeed brought a lot of good luck to his family.

"Ma, you will continue to rest, I will not disturb you." Dad Jiao was ready to leave. He knew that the old man always said less. You need to rest after a while. Would not plan to stay here again.

"Before you leave the village. Take this cat over again." Said the old lady lying on the lounge chair.

Although he didn't quite understand what Granny was going to do, Dao Jiao nodded and agreed.

Zheng Tan looked at the old cat on the deck chair and turned to follow Dao Jiao to leave.

After Dao Jiao and Zheng Tan left. The old lady with her eyes slightly closed in a sun lounger sat up, touched the cat on her leg, and continued to look for fleas on it. "Oh, it's a big one. Next time, you'll find a rat with fewer fleas."

The three legs shivered and shook their ears.

Over there, Zheng Tan followed Dao Jiao to leave the old woman's yard and walked on a different road than when she came.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the village, Zheng Tan was curious what Dad Jiao was doing. He could see that there was something hidden in Dao Jiao's heart.

There is a mountain near the village, not too big, after all, this area does not belong to the category of barren mountains and wild mountains. Development and utilization in many places on the mountain are not as wild as they were decades ago.

Zheng Tan followed Dao Jiao around an orchard. Dao Jiao stood there, looked around, and sat down next to a big tree. Then he lit a cigarette. When the cigarette was nearly halfway, Dao Jiao was right. Zheng Tan, who was crouching beside him, said, "Hey, I tell you a secret." After saying this, Dao Jiao gave a smile and said, "In fact, it is not a secret. I told some people They just don't believe it. "

Wait for this!

Zheng Tan looked back, holding his ears to listen to Dao Jiao's next words.

"In the past, when I was a kid, um, smaller than Yuzu. At the time, it was naughty and there were rumors among the children that there were treasures in the mountains. I went to the mountains to find treasures with a few children in the village, but there were no days after Harvest, some people gave up, but I did not. So one day I went up the mountain alone when my parents didn't pay attention. I did n’t harvest for a long time, and I was tired and hungry. After eating a noodle cake, I lay on the grass and slept. I realized that I didn't have much awareness of crisis. Now I really want to die when I want to come.

When I woke up, I found that the sky was gradually getting dark. After dinner time, I was in a hurry and rushed home, but accidentally slipped down a steep slope, sprained my feet, and I did n’t go alone. Step fell into a pothole again.

The pothole was deep. At least I had a hard time crawling out of it. Someone might have buried something and dug it out. I did n’t have much energy at the time. I could n’t crawl out for a while, and no one came to help for a long time. I digged the rocks and soil on the wall of the cave and wanted to have a support point when I crawled. When my fingers bleed, I heard a meowing sound from the pit, and it didn't take long to see a cat's head. It took a look at me and left. It didn't take long before a thick straw rope tied with firewood was thrown from it. I grabbed the straw rope and tried to climb up. At the same time, I also felt that someone was pulling the rope above it. Not big, but it also helped me. When I climbed into the pit, I found a cat pulling the straw rope. The other end of the rope was caught in a cracked seam on a large rock near the pit, a very smart cat. It ran after I climbed up, and soon after Grandma appeared, she told me that she found a black cat stealing her straw rope tied to firewood, and came over. "

During that dark period, Granny was rejected by the villagers, and no one wanted to contact Granny at all. Dao Jiao remembered that he and other children in the village threw stones and mud at Granny's small yard. Later, as a last resort, the grandmother had to go up the mountain temporarily and set up a small shed. She lived there alone, knowing that the dark days had passed.

Until now Dao Jiao still remembers the time left in the pothole, hunger, fear, and the coolness brought by the mountain wind.

"Later, Grandma found a cat's tooth on the straw rope, which was broken when the cat bite it." Dad Jiao played a cigarette **** and looked away. Continue to recall.

The thick straw rope made by the villagers is very strong, but it won't break your teeth if you bite it, but you can't say if you bite the straw rope and pull it hard. The cat's teeth were probably broken when the straw rope was pulled from the firewood stack. It may also be broken when dragged later. Anyway, Dao Jiao is grateful for it. Only since then, Dao Jiao has never seen the black cat again.

"My grandmother melted the rosin and put that cat's tooth in it to make an artificial amber for me ... I still have it until now and I'll show it to you." Dad Jiao sighed to Zheng.

Nearly thirty years later, Dao Jiao knew that the cat in his memory might have been gone, but when he first saw the black cat picked up by his wife, he suddenly thought of the old cat.

Come from the night. The black cat traveling through the night. Even standing on the ground needs to look up at people. His eyes were fearless, even with a lofty disdain for other things, like a little leopard.

Because of this. Dao Jiao, who has been disagreeing with pets since he lived in a big city, let loose after Jiao Ma took Zheng Tan home. At that time, the panic had not passed long, and there were two children in the family. Mother Jiao did not expect Dao Jiao to agree. The other members of the Jiao family did not know why.

"When Granny took me in the direction of the village, let me not tell other people. Some things, just rest assured. Others may not believe them, but they will have trouble."

Dao Jiao didn't quite understand at the time. When I grew up, I knew everything, and I knew that in those days, it was easy to contact the devil and the ghost, and if it was not good, it would cause trouble. Later, the dark period passed, and people's minds gradually opened up, regardless of whether some phenomena can be explained by science, and their behaviors should not be too extreme. Even so, Dao Jiao didn't tell much about the past, and once told the story, but unfortunately he didn't believe it. And that cat tooth amber also always reminded Dao Jiao that year's event was not a dream.

Dao Jiao also took Zheng Tan to see the place where the pothole was located. Every time he came back to the old house, Dao Jiao would come to take a look. Even if this place has changed a lot, the pothole has been filled, and the wilderness has changed. Became an orchard vegetable plot.

Returning to the old house from the mountain, Dad Jiao went to help with the New Year's Eve. Zheng Tan was idle and did not catch the rabbit with the two children. He ran secretly to the place where the grandma lived and heard about the person. Recently, many migrant workers in the village have returned, and some people come to visit every day. Young people are more open-minded, knowing that this kind of thing is not as good as before. Some people in the big cities are much more arrogant and bold, and a few words can make a lot of money. By contrast, this lady is really low-key. of.

She doesn't have much fame in Liyang, so she has a little influence in the local village. I heard that it is almost ninety years old, and in the early years, he was not from this village. The villagers now respect her, and fear it. Now, someone in the village will come to her old man for peace before going to work outside.

Of course, there are many people who do n’t believe in this stuff, and science is now popular. Moreover, this thing also speaks of orthodox and unorthodox. The unorthodox is feudal superstition, which is illegal. However, people's psychology is always the same, and they must always ask for "just in case" to be assured.

So don't look at people on the surface saying that they don't believe in it, that they are cheating money, don't walk around with the old woman, but there are many people who give money and gifts privately. Just as some people say, there are things that you believe in and things that you don't.

Although Zheng Tan didn't know much about this old woman, she can still understand some things based on what she saw and heard. Regardless of whether the old woman was cheating, but I have not heard of any bad things, but more and more people praised it secretly ~ www.readwn.com ~ proved to be a bit capable. Besides, she saved Dao Jiao. Zheng Tan had a better impression of the old lady alone. For scammers and scammers, Zheng Tan was second to Zheng Tan. Moreover, because of the events of that year, maybe she also mentioned a few words of Dao Jiao so that Dao Jiao could accept his unusual cat so quickly.

Thinking of the old lady asking Dao Jiao to leave the village after the New Year's Eve, he took himself there. Zheng Tan couldn't figure out the reason, but according to what Dao Jiao said, the old lady ... shouldn't there be bad intentions? Moreover, the three-legged tortoise was picked up and raised by the old woman after one leg was broken by someone, so it seems that this person should be pretty good.
