Chapter 24 Black Cat Sticks to People After this night, the incident of "borrowing the blood of the Yin to revive" did not happen again. Uncle Jiu and Grandpa didn't understand it either. According to Grand Master Yang Keshui, on the seventh day of the seventh month, I might be haunted by the soul of a Yin person. It would be best if nothing happened now. However, in order to prevent accidents, my whole family protected me very carefully on the seventh day of the lunar month, fearing that the past would happen again. The past mottled time is like the dew dripping from the tip of a leaf in the morning, scattered on the dusty ground, and gradually disappears as time goes by. The yard and the hillside are always covered by a few soft suns. The strange thing is that the arrogant little black monster who used to disappear without a trace now always follows me. But he usually sleeps soundly in my arms, and rarely wakes up in a day, and never catches mice. Occasionally, he would look at the food in my bowl coldly and close his eyes again, but I would always ask my mother for another portion and put it in front of him. My life seems to have returned to the past, a leisurely but boring life with one person, one cat, two dogs and mountains around. I always feel that this kind of life has been like this for many years, but the eyes of the little black monster are always like a shadow following me... Two months after the oil extraction team came to the village, they began to finish their work. At the same time, Uncle Jiu also received a notice from the village to return to the city to deliver the oil products. According to the agreement, I will also go with Uncle Jiu and Ximin. Parting is always sad, but it was not as painful as I imagined. Uncle Jiu promised my parents that I would go to school as soon as I got there, and it was the same school as Westminster. Thinking that the Ghost Festival would come soon, and worried that the gathering of ghosts would damage my yin energy, my parents felt a little relieved and reluctantly agreed to let me go for the time being. So, when I was seven years old, I went to Xidu with my uncle and his party. After several days of bumpy ride from bus to train, we finally arrived at our destination. I was so dizzy from being tossed around that I felt drowsy the whole time and didn't cry or make any noise.
When we arrived at Westminster's house, it was evening, the twilight was dim, the setting sun was blood-red, and the setting sun on the Liu River was like a golden rim. It was round at this time, shining brightly, dazzling the eyes like a dream, so unreal. People were walking in groups of three or two on the street, which made people feel relaxed and happy, but also like a dream. I felt a little dazed and staggered as I got out of the car with Westminster. As soon as I stood firm, I saw the servants coming out in groups of three or two to greet me. As I watched Westminster and Uncle Nine busy instructing the servants to unload the gifts, I was shocked by the building in front of me. It seemed like I had come here many years ago, and the sense of familiarity was extremely strong... This is a villa that combines retro and modern styles. Different from the village houses in Shijiawan, it is surrounded by red plants like a natural oxygen bar... At this moment, under the blood-red sunset light, I seem to sense a kind of mysterious atmosphere faintly permeating it, which makes me want to get closer. So I took small steps, turned around and walked forward. I gently reached out and touched the mottled, rusty iron lock. With a clang, the iron lock fell on the white marble floor, and turned around a few times like a happy child before stopping. I was a little surprised, and opened the door with the floral patterns of the ancient screen and the gold diamonds again... As soon as Ximin finished explaining the matter to the servants, she saw that the girl beside her had disappeared. When she looked up, she saw Bai Tian actually walked to Xuanyu Pavilion. Just as she was about to warn him, she saw that the door of Xuanyu Pavilion suddenly opened automatically, and the girl walked in unharmed. Ximin's heart was filled with emotion. No one had ever opened this iron gate since he was old enough to understand. He had only been there once when his great grandfather was alive. Since then, his great grandfather had ordered that this gate should never be opened, saying that it would automatically welcome the right person... Could it be that this 7-year-old girl is the destined one? At this time, Uncle Jiu also saw this scene. He was stunned, but said calmly: "Min'er, it's better for outsiders not to talk about this." Ximin nodded and hurried to Xuanyu Pavilion. Inside the house, there is another heavy carved iron door with spell-like words engraved on it. The complex patterns have a long-standing bronze luster. As soon as I entered the hall, I was overwhelmed by the cold atmosphere. The luxurious black marble floor was not stained with a trace of dust. The dark red carpet extended along the ancient stairs to the upper floor. The crystal chandelier in the middle of the hall did not emit any light. I could only see candles flickering around. A strong sense of oppression surged into my heart, and it seemed that there was a strong smell of blood... It smells like a dead person... I wrinkled my nose and sniffed hard. The bloody smell immediately dissipated a lot. Fortunately, I didn't see any dirty things. Just as I was wondering, a black shadow rushed towards me from upstairs. I screamed reflexively, and then a soft ball flew into my arms. What followed was an unprecedented surprise: "Oh, it turned out to be the little black monster." At this moment, the little black monster seemed very tired. His unique cat-like face had dimmed a lot, and there was a hint of dark red in his strange amber eyes, like a human who had stayed up late. Seeing the girl in front of him screaming, jumping, and even kissing him wildly with saliva drooling, Xiye couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart: "You are the same as before, and you don't know that I am right in front of you. Grow up quickly, my Tianer." As soon as he entered the Xuanyu Pavilion, he heard Baitian scream, and Ximin felt a chill on his back... Before he had time to think, he rushed in. But then Bai Tian came out with a black cat in his arms, smiling happily at him. "Girl, where's this cat from?" Westminster frowned uneasily. "This is the best cat in the world." Bai Tian was so happy that she almost flew up, and smiled sweetly at herself. Ximin blushed at the sweet smile of the little girl, and looked away quickly. She felt that her performance was not satisfactory. She was just a few years old, why did she act like she was in her first love? She didn't understand? What's wrong with me? ? "The best cat in the world?" Xiye Cat couldn't help but smile. This was a good flattery and he felt inexplicably cheerful.
"Girl, you can keep a cat, but someone must take care of it and deworm it, otherwise the human body will be easily infected. For example, cat toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by animals. This disease not only occurs in cats, but also occurs between other animals and humans. Many birds and mammals, especially cats, are often a source of infection for people because they have close contact with humans. This disease can cause people to become disabled or die..." Westminster habitually analyzed the habits and hazards of cats one by one. I frowned slightly and hugged the little black monster tightly in my arms: "Brother Ximin, Lao Qi has told me this knowledge. The body of the little black monster is cleaner than that of humans. I will not hand him over to others." "No, Brother Ximin, can you see my cat?" I asked reflexively. "What do you mean, isn't that a cat in your arms?" Westminster looked at me in confusion. I shook my head and stopped talking. Seeing Bai Tian's face change slightly, Xi Minjun smiled: "If you really want to raise a cat, then go ahead. You just got off the car, you must be tired, come home quickly and there are delicious pastries." After saying that, he took Bai Tian's soft little hand and walked towards the opposite building. Westminster's house is very big, it feels like half the size of Shijiawan Mountain, the pavilions and towers are so dreamy, and the terrain pattern is a bit like Shijiawan. If Shijiawan is a painting, then Westminster's house is like a half-painted painting by the painter, what is missing? I am a little curious about what the architect who built the house was thinking? ? "Tian'er, do you like it?" Westminster scratched my little nose lovingly. I dodged his hand calmly. The little black monster suddenly stood up and stretched his cat body, casting a cold look at Westminster. Ximin felt a chill on her back and couldn't help sneezing: "Let's go inside, the weather is getting cooler." I pointed to the building a few dozen meters away and asked, "Why are the words on the building gone?" Westminster asked, "Well, what word?" "Why were the words 'Xi Feng Lai Yu' removed?" I was a little puzzled. "Oh, because it's old, Uncle Jiu asked the housekeeper to find someone to replace it." Westminster said. I nodded: "Green is the best color for words, don't change the color." Suddenly, Westminster's slender body froze. (End of this chapter)
