Tried to trick me into raising a cat again

Countless corpses were found in the cave, some of which were old and only the remains of broken limbs remained, while some were still fresh, with incompletely decayed flesh and blood on the white bones.

These bones were piled up in one place, and it was difficult to count the exact number, but they all had the same feature—these bones were not tall, and most of them belonged to teenagers or children.

The captain of the armed police who was in charge of the search had a dark face. He thought it was a waste of police force to use the armed police into the mountain because of the Zhang family's relationship. He never expected that so many children's bones were hidden in such a village deep in the mountains and old forests.

Zhang Ren came with them. Seeing these bones, he probably guessed the cause and effect. It was difficult to explain the strange power and chaos to the police, so he simply omitted some content, focusing on the villagers' belief in cults.

In this way, things are much simpler and clearer.

Backward and ignorant villages, believe in heresies, have used children as sacrifices to worship evil gods since a hundred years ago, that's why there are so many children's bones in the back mountain.

After the captain reported the situation to his superiors, he began to question the villagers one by one, and then took them into custody.

If what Zhang Ren said is true, then these villagers will never escape legal punishment for harming such an innocent child.

The rest of the finishing work was handed over to the police. Zhang Ren returned to the small building, while Qu Yanning and Chu Zhou were upstairs playing cards with a few radish heads.

Zhuang Meng was sitting by the window, knitting a sweater with a bamboo stick in his hand, watching them quarrel with a loving smile.

"I'm Niu Niu!" Chu Zhou shouted happily, spread the cards on the table, took the signature pen on the side, and drew a line on several people's faces.

Qu Yanning lost the most. His round face was already covered with patterns, and the visual effect looked no worse than a few radish heads.

"I won't come anymore." Qu Yanning covered his face and hid aside, complaining: "You play by yourself, I can't draw on my face anymore."

Chu Zhou made a face at him, and the little radish heads followed suit, baring their sharp teeth and making faces at Qu Yanning.

Qu Yanning: "..."

He shrank back behind Xie Qi cowardly, saying that you guys bullied me together, and I won't play with you anymore.

The corner of Xie Qi's mouth hooked up, and his light eyes fell on the grinning little carrot head. Their expressions changed, and they crowded around Chu Zhou, pestering him to continue playing cards.

Zhang Ren looked at Chu Zhou who was surrounded in the middle with a complicated expression.

Chu and Zhou are male and female, with gorgeous features.Perhaps it was the influence caused by the time when he was a child. He has always been used to wearing women's clothing. Although he has not deliberately concealed his gender, he is good-looking and his voice is somewhat hoarse. If he didn't take the initiative to explain, most people would not I would think of him in the direction of a man, and only feel that he is a little informal.

Chu Zhou, who was playing cards, noticed the gaze from the side, and turned his head to meet Zhang Ren's complicated eyes. He froze for a moment, then smiled with his lips curled up, and continued to play cards with the carrot heads.

Zhang Ren sighed and turned to look out the window.

"The police have solved it?" Xie Qi asked.

"Well," Zhang Ren said almost, "Many children's bones were found in the cave behind the temple, and these villagers can't escape their guilt."

Xie Qi nodded. He was not worried that these villagers would not receive the punishment they deserved. Even if the law could not sanction them, retribution should come for the evils accumulated over the years. Those festering sores were just the beginning.He was more eager to go home.

"We will go down the mountain and prepare to go back to Shenshi after the police finish handling it," Xie Qi said.

Qu Yanning also nodded and said that he wanted to go back early. They had been out for a while, and I don't know if Guaibao missed him.

In the evening, the police reinforcements arrived at the village. There were quite a few villagers, and most of them had sores. It would take a lot of effort to take people down the mountain for investigation. The captain discussed with Zhang Ren and decided to live in the village first. Next, take people down the mountain early the next morning.

……

The bright moon hung high, this night was rarely a clear night, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the roof, Zhuang Meng stood on the balcony, his face became paler under the moonlight.

"Your food is gone."

Zhuang Meng turned her head and was facing a pair of golden pupils. She lowered her head slightly, "It's Mr. Xie. There will always be a way."

Xie Qi took a fixed look at her, and took out the note on his back and handed it to her, "You still have those children, it is impossible to always survive on rotting corpses, and it records the method of using yin energy to cultivate , this village has now become a gathering pool, which is just right for you to practice."

Zhuang Meng took it hesitantly, "Thank you, I just don't know how to thank you."

Xie Qi turned around with his hands behind his back, "No need, Xiao Ning's friends... are also my friends."

……

Early the next morning, the police escorted the villagers down the mountain. Zhang Ren and the others did not go with them, so they stayed in the village to bid farewell to Zhuang Meng and the others.

The once lively village became empty, and Zhuang Meng took them to the entrance of the village with five little radish heads.

Chu Zhou's eyes were red and he was reluctant to leave. Zhuang Meng wiped away his tears and pushed him away with a smile, "Mom is here, come back and have a look when you have time, it's not about life and death."

Chu Zhou sniffed, wanting her to go together and remembering Xie Qi's words, so he could only hold Zhuang Meng's hand and let her take care of himself.

Qu Yanning patted him on the shoulder and pulled him out, "Aunt Zhuang, take care, we will come back to see you later."

Zhuang Meng said yes with a smile, and the little carrot heads stood in a row, waving their little hands at them, with reluctance on their faces.

Watching the group of people disappear into the valley, Zhuang Mengcai led the children back to the village.

And in the cave on the mountain behind the temple, a man in white took out a black jade pendant from the depths of the cave. , "Looks like I'm going to find another shade again."

Going down the mountain was much easier than going up the mountain, and the four of them returned to Zhang's house that evening.

Zhang's father arranged a banquet, and the four of them went to rest after eating and drinking enough, and took the special plane arranged by Zhang's family to return to Shenshi the next day.

This time I replied that Zhang Ren did not go with him in Shen City. He said that there was something at home that needed to be dealt with. Xie Qi seemed very clear about it. Zhang Ren took care of him with him for so many years. It doesn't make sense to go to the Zhang family.

Qu Yanning subconsciously looked at Chu Zhou's reaction, Chu Zhou smiled and told Zhang Ren to take care.

Zhang Ren nodded silently, wishing them a smooth journey.

The plane took off slowly and drew a bright trajectory in the sky. Four people came, but only three returned.

After staying on the plane for more than four hours, Qu Yanning felt that his bones were soft when he arrived in Shenshi. He jumped up and down on the spot, dragged his suitcase to say goodbye to Xie Qi, and faltered and asked when Guaibao would be. return.

Xie Qi hooked his lips and said that Guaibao has already been sent back, "I have something to go home, if it is convenient, Guaibao will trouble you to take care of it."

Qu Yanning naturally couldn't wish for it, and nodded repeatedly with sparkling eyes, saying that it was convenient, and Baby could come anytime.

Xie Qi was satisfied with this, and after saying goodbye to the two, they went home separately.

Not at home for more than a week, the house was already covered with light dust, Qu Yanning put down his luggage and started to clean up, but Chu Zhou, who came back silently all the way, was not in a good mood.

Qu Yanning was not sure whether he was unhappy because of Zhuang Meng's matter or Zhang Ren's matter, or both, so he had to ask him anxiously what he would eat later.

Chu Zhou forced a smile and said that he was a little tired from the flight and wanted to sleep, so he would not eat dinner.

Qu Yanning looked at his back and sighed.

During dinner, someone knocked on the door, Qu Yanning opened the door, and saw the cat owner standing at the door, who was very unhappy that he hadn't come to hug me.

"Good boy!" Qu Yanning hugged the cat in surprise, kissed the furry cat's head, and then looked at the person at the door.

The one who sent the cat was a middle-aged man with a serious face. He bent over to Qu Yanning and said, "Second Master asked me to bring you the Young Master."

Qu Yanning thanked him and asked him if he would like to come in for a cup of tea, but the middle-aged man politely declined, and left quickly without further ado.

Qu Yanning carried the cat into the house, closed the door and couldn't wait to suck the cat up.

"Baby, I miss you so much." He put the cat on his lap on his back, buried his face in the white belly, and rubbed and rubbed, indulging in the long-lost fur belly.

Xie Qi declined a few times reservedly at first, and then simply let him rub his belly with his fur open. Although he was a bit shy, the cat also wanted to get close to the little idiot.

After rubbing enough hairy belly, Qu Yanning picked up the cat and stroked it up and down, and said with some distress: "Baby is not eating well at home? Why does it seem to be thinner?" The flesh on his body has lost a circle .

Xie Qi pursed his ears, thinking of the food he ate in the mountains, he immediately let out a dissatisfied cry, and rubbed Qu Yanning's chin coquettishly, wanting to eat fish.

Qu Yanning saw through his tricks in a second, kissed the cat's ears, and said, "Just wait, there are still jellyfish left from last time, so I'll make you some snacks first."

Xie Qi was placed on the sofa, and he was lazily lying on the sofa, wagging his tail leisurely and watching Qu Yanning busy making food for him.

I just got home, and there are no ingredients in the refrigerator. The only thing left is the jellyfish I brought back from Moon Island last time. I processed the jellyfish, made a cold jellyfish and served it out for the cat to eat and play first.

"You fill up your belly first, I'll go shopping for vegetables, and fry small yellow croakers for you to eat at night." Qu Yanning patted the head of the cat and confessed.

Xie Qi's dangling tail paused, and he was immediately unhappy. He stood up, hopped lightly onto Qu Yanning's clothes, then climbed all the way up the clothes, and squatted firmly on his shoulders .

Meowing lightly, Xie Qi rubbed Qu Yanning's face with his furry side face, expressing that he would also go shopping together.

Qu Yanning rubbed back, pinched his cat's tail lightly, and said okay, "Then I'll take you with me."

One person and one cat went out to buy vegetables together.

The supermarket is on Xiuping Road, Qu Yanning is riding a tricycle, Xie Qi is squatting on his shoulders, the breeze from the side of the road hits him slowly, Xie Qi squinted his eyes happily, and head to head with Qu Yanning .

In the evening, it was the time when the supermarket had discounts and promotions, and there were many people in the supermarket. Qu Yan pushed the shopping cart, put the cat in the small basket of the shopping cart, and pushed the cat to the supermarket together.

In addition to food, snacks have to be replenished. First, I went to the snack area. Qu Yanning took all the snacks that Chu Zhou and the cat usually like to eat, and wandered around again. I happened to meet a brand of jelly who was doing an event.

Xie Qi grabbed the edge of the shopping cart and stood up, staring at the mouse dolls on the activity shelf.

The gray cloth mouse is made vividly and is very cute. The long fluff looks good to the touch. Xie Qi leaned forward, staring at the big mouse reservedly and longingly.

Qu Yanning thought that he wanted to eat jelly, so he pushed the shopping cart over to ask the price, but before he bought the jelly, he saw his cat was almost on top of the doll mouse.

"..." It turned out to be a wrong meaning, Qu Yanning coughed in embarrassment, and asked the director how much to buy for a mouse.

The shopping guide was also a little funny looking at the kitten with burning eyes, and said that he could give one of five catties of jelly as a gift.Qu Yanning nodded, and weighed five catties of jelly, and then there was an extra pack of jelly and a cloth mouse in the shopping cart.

Putting the cloth mouse in the small basket, Xie Qi squatted reservedly at first. After a while, he quickly poked the mouse with his paw, and then shook his ears quickly. Seeing that Qu Yanning was not looking at him, he endured it again. He couldn't help getting closer, and pressed his claws on the mouse.

Qu Yanning continued to push the shopping cart around, pretending to look away, and after a while, the cat in the shopping cart went crazy.Xie Qi hugged the furry mouse while biting it and kicked it wildly with its hind paws. The furry cloth mouse trembled under the cat's paws, and soon its gray fur flew around.

Qu Yanning coughed lightly, held down the extremely excited cat, and said softly, "Baby, shall we go back and play again?"

Xie Qi paused, turned his ears back, let go of the cloth mouse, and sat down solemnly, but pressed one paw on the cloth mouse. The plum blossom cushion stretched and retracted, obviously very satisfied with this new toy.

After filling up the shopping cart, Qu Yanning paid the bill and went home with a full load of prizes.

Along the way, Xie Qi was holding a cloth mouse in his mouth, squatting in the rear compartment with a very serious expression.

When he got home, Qu Yanning went to cook, Xie Qi jumped onto the sofa with a new toy in his mouth, and when Qu Yanning entered the kitchen, he hugged a cloth mouse that was bigger than him, biting and kicking frantically again.

After resting enough, Chu Zhou looked at the crazy cat silently, and asked Qu Yanning in the kitchen, "Why is this cat crazy?"

Qu Yanning stretched out his head to look at the sofa, smiled and said that he was happy to buy a new toy.

Xie Qi, who was sued, let go of the mouse unhappily, and bared his teeth at Chu Zhou.

Xie Qi was still obsessed with the new toys during dinner, Qu Yanning had no choice but to sleep with the cat and the cat's new toys in the end.

At noon the next day, Qu Yanning went to the store with the cat in his arms. He was away for a few days, and the store didn't open. When the door opened at this time, the barbecue gluttons swarmed over when they smelled the smell.

Xie Qi is sitting on the cashier with the new toy in a serious manner. Customers who pass by have to look at it curiously. Familiar customers know that this cat has a bad temper, so they don’t touch it easily, but there are also new customers. His hands were itchy and he wanted to stroke the tiger's whiskers.

Zhao Dongqi was almost recovering from his injuries at home, and he couldn't stay at home anymore. It happened that Shenshi was going to hold a feng shui event, so he used the excuse of attending the event to go to Shenshi with a group of friends to have fun.

Among friends of friends, there was an old gourmet who said that there was a barbecue restaurant here that tasted first-class, so he brought them over for a drink. As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Dongqi stared at the cat on the cash register.

"This cat looks a lot like a friend's cat I know," Zhao Dongqi teased, holding the car keys in front of the cat.

When Xie Qi saw his face and remembered what happened on Moon Island, he suddenly became upset, his round pupils narrowed, Xie Qi arched his body slightly, and slapped Zhao Dongqi hard when he reached out his hand.

"Aw!" Zhao Dongqi howled in pain, "Why does this cat scratch people?!"

Before the old gourmet friend had time to remind him, he saw him being scratched by the bad-tempered cat, Zhao Dongqi covered his hands and howled, Qu Yanning ran out from the back kitchen when he heard the movement, and saw him crying like a dog with his hands covered Zhao Dongqi.

Xie Qi squatted leisurely on the cash register, looking at Zhao Dongqi with disdain.

Seeing Qu Yanning come out, she raised her head and meowed softly.

Zhao Dongqi was about to go crazy with his eyes wide open, but when he looked up and saw that it was Qu Yanning, he immediately turned his head, "Hey kid, are you the one who owns this store?"

Qu Yanning was also surprised. He didn't expect to meet someone he knew. He caught the jumping cat and stroked it. He said yes, "It opened after returning from Moon Island."

Zhao Dongqi stopped howling immediately, covered his aching hand and pushed him to the table with a smile, "I left too hastily before, now I meet you by fate, I must thank you very much."

Xie Qi's eyes fell on the hand holding Qu Yanning's arm, and he snorted in warning, his golden eyes narrowed slightly, staring dangerously at the claws on the little idiot.

Zhao Dongqi trembled, seeing the cat's paw stretching and contracting, subconsciously withdrew his hand that was still in pain, "Sit down, let's have a good chat."

A few of his friends also sat down, and Zhao Dongqi recounted the previous relationship, and praised Qu Yanning so much that Qu Yanning felt embarrassed when he heard it.

Having a drink with Zhao Dongqi, Qu Yanning looked at the guests who were still waiting to eat, and then went to work in the back kitchen. Xie Qi, who was left behind, glanced coldly at Zhao Dongqi, and squatted back with his noble cat paws. on the cash register.

After drinking, Zhao Dongqi wandered off with a few friends. Qu Yanning thought it was just an ordinary meeting, but Zhao Dongqi was a very persistent young man. He fell in love with Qu Yanning and wanted to be friends with him. I just didn't do anything, and ran to the barbecue restaurant every day.

He was tall and handsome, and he didn't have a bad temper. He helped out in Qu Yanning's shop with his acquaintance. The waiters and female customers in the shop were all fascinated by him.

Xie Qi's cat face is getting uglier day by day, thinking about how to make this cat-hating human disappear without anyone noticing.

Compared to Qu Yanning, he accepted it very well. He didn't have many friends. Now he had a friend like Zhao Dongqi who was familiar with him and could chat with everyone. It seemed to be a good feeling.

It was rare to be free in the store that day, and Zhao Dongqi was talking to Qu Yanning mysteriously while rolling skewers, "Shenshi will hold a Fengshui event in half a month, I heard there are many interesting things in it, do you want to go?"

"Ah?" Qu Yanning looked at him in a daze, "Feng Shui event?"

Zhao Dongqi waved the bamboo stick triumphantly, saying that he hadn't heard of it before, "It's held by the most powerful composer here in Shenshi, and all the famous Fengshui schools in China will come. It must be very interesting then."

Qu Yanning looked at him with the eyes of a stumbled youth, and said earnestly, "Study hard, enrich your empty brain, feudal superstition is nothing." Especially this feng shui event, it sounds like a national magic stick The crooks gathered together to discuss how to improve the new deception and deceive more ignorant people.

The author has something to say: Qu Xiaoning: Get rid of feudal superstition and promote scientific spirit.

Xie Erye: ...
