Cannibalism

The tooth marks on the yellow cat's face disappeared quickly, and within two days they were covered by the newly grown cat hair and could no longer be seen.

On this day, it slept soundly for a whole afternoon on the high ground in front of the inn.

The sun sets.It elongated its body and stretched itself, greedily absorbing the last ray of sunlight before dark.

When cats rest, they often find a corner that is not easy to be noticed by people. Few cats sleep in such a conspicuous and unobstructed place.

So, someone has noticed it.

The good-natured people watched the yellow cat for a long time, and saw that it had a simple and honest appearance and was not afraid of strangers, so they flocked over one after another.

As soon as the yellow cat opened its eyes, it saw three little boys in front of it.

It remembered that a group of children surrounded the man who said he wanted to serve him that day, and these three children were among them.

Looking at these innocent children, it was filled with joy, its eyes were full of kindness, and it walked forward with graceful steps. Unexpectedly, there was a "bang", and a small paper tube suddenly exploded at its feet. .

"Meow——" the yellow cat was frightened, screamed, jumped two steps back, hid in a tree and grass, and peeped at the three little dolls through the gaps in the leaves.

"Look at the firecrackers I made, isn't it good?" One of the blue-clothed children held up a bag of paper tubes smugly. "In this way, we don't have to wait until the Chinese New Year, we can play firecrackers every day."

"Brother Dongdong is amazing!" The other two boys clapped their hands, "Brother Dongdong, we want to play too!"

"Okay!" The boy in blue raised his head proudly, "I can't let you play the firecrackers I worked so hard for for nothing, can I? You have to do something for me, right?"

The eyes of the two boys glowed: "Whatever Brother Dongdong wants to do, we will definitely accompany you."

Dongdong looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the yellow cat hiding behind the grass: "Quick! Catch that yellow cat and give it to me to play with."

The yellow cat's expression froze, its eyes flashed fiercely, and it purred defensively.

"Is that a yellow cat?" One person asked foolishly, "That's obviously an orange cat."

The other chorused with him: "Yes, I think it's an orange cat too! It's exactly the same color as a tiger."

Dongdong became annoyed, and pretended to put the firecracker into his arms: "Are you going to catch it or not? If you don't catch me, I'll leave."

"Hey! Don't go, Brother Dongdong." A child quickly grabbed him, "You wait for the two of us, we will catch that cat for Brother Dongdong right away."

Dongdong found a step and sat down, and raised his legs leisurely: "Huh, it's not too bad. Be careful, it was already startled just now, so it's easy to catch it."

The two men surrounded the yellow cat from left to right amid Dongdong's orders, but the yellow cat didn't run away. It bowed its back on the spot and stared at the faces of the two, its pupils getting bigger and bigger in the dark grass Round and round; the tips of the ears are turned to one side, and the behavior and demeanor are particularly alert.

"I catch!"

"I catch it too!"

Both of them rushed to nothing.The yellow cat easily jumped out of the grass, and the dull dolls had no time to react.

At this moment, there was another sound of firecracker explosion at the feet of the yellow cat, which made it squeak again in fright.

"Hey! Lin Dong, Lin Yuan, Lin Jing, what are you doing!"

Wu Wei's voice appeared next to the yellow cat's ear.Wu Wei came striding over, grabbed Dongdong's ear and asked, "Are you playing firecrackers with cats and dogs again? How many times have I told you that this will hurt them. You won't listen to me when I tell you not to play!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Brother Wu!" Dongdong was no longer majestic, and he didn't care about the firecrackers falling on the ground, his ears were all red, "Don't, don't pull my ears."

"Quick, you all go home." Wu Wei finally let go of his hand, he walked over and picked up the "frightened" yellow cat and put it in his arms, continuing to scare them, "Otherwise, there will be seductive souls sent from the underworld in the middle of the night The black cat came to your bed to look for you..."

"Ah!...I don't want it!..."

When the three children heard the "soul black cat", they were frightened and ran home in despair.

Wu Wei hugged the yellow cat, stroked its chin, and asked, "Is it scaring you?" But he knew that the yellow cat would not answer, so he asked again, "Seeing that you have slept here all afternoon, you must be hungry. , my family eats fish today, I can share some with you, will you come?"

It was the first time for the yellow cat to see such a kind and kind Wuwei, and it didn't make any objection in his arms.Wu is willing to go for convenience.He walked slowly towards the house with it in his arms.

Wuwei's home furnishings are plain and simple, but not shabby, so he secretly went to the kitchen to cut a piece of fish tail behind his back behind his parents' back, and threw it to the yellow cat.

"You make do with it first, and then I'll give you my share." Wu Wei smiled cheerfully and gently, "I hate eating fish the most. Why do people eat such smelly things? But I know cats like it." Eat, eat quickly."

The yellow cat really just chewed and ate.It took a lot of effort to bite, and a lot of fish meat would leak out when it smacked its mouth. There were two thorns stuck on its round cheeks, which looked nothing like a cat that had eaten fish.

"Probably very hungry." Wu Wei shook his head and sighed, "The little wild cat is pitiful. He is bullied outside and has no food. You eat here first, and I will come when I go."

Wu Wei closed the door when he left, but it was only time for a cup of tea. When he came back, he found that the yellow cat had finished eating the fish tail, curled up next to the table and fell asleep.

He looked at the yellow cat and found it funny: he didn't even wipe off the fishbone stuck on his cheek, and slept so anxiously, what a lazy cat.

The lazy cat slept for a while, and didn't wake up until two or three hours later.At night, Wu Wei was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"it's me."

Wu Wei was overjoyed to hear the sound, and hurriedly opened the door.

Standing outside the door was none other than Wu Wei, a chivalrous man whom Wu Wei had admired so much in recent days——

"Thank you, knight!"

"Hush..." Xie Sheng signaled him to be silent, "Your parents sleep next door, don't disturb them."

Wu Wei imitated him and lowered his voice: "What do you mean Xie Xiashi came here at night?"

"My cat got lost." Xie Sheng compared the size with his hands, "Have you ever seen such a big yellow cat?"

Wu Wei replied: "Yes, yes! Today I brought a yellow cat back, it's in the house, it's sleeping, and it ate half of a fish tail."

Xie Sheng followed him into the room, and sure enough, he saw a yellow cat sleeping under the corner of the table.He wrapped it in his arms and said to Wuwei: "Thank you for taking it in. I'm leaving, so take care."

"Okay! Take care, knight!"

Xie Sheng flew out of the village stepping on the roof, and stopped just outside the village.The yellow cat was so obedient and motionless that it seemed a bit weird.Xie Sheng pinched one of its ears and said loudly: "It's fortunate that I found you after chasing your scent. Did you eat the fish tail?"

He remembered that Iris had told him that he should not eat whatever he wanted, because the body could not digest food easily.

The yellow cat woke up slowly, and when it saw Xie Sheng, it took human form, with a tired and lazy face, and was still wearing the blue robe Xie Sheng gave him.

"I ate the fish tail that the villagers gave me, and I'm so tired now, what's your business with me?" While talking, the young man closed his eyes wearily, "If I fell asleep...please take me back to the God Realm .”

"I can't come to you if there is nothing important?" Xie Sheng flew thousands of miles to look for him, but the other party didn't want to talk to him. He should have been annoyed, but when he saw the boy lying in his arms, he fell asleep peacefully. Look, that little bit of annoyance no longer exists.

Xie Sheng picked up Yuanshiren and flew towards the entrance of the enchantment.

The boy closed his eyes and did not answer, Xie Sheng thought he was asleep.However, as soon as he came to the two giant trees and the grass wall, Tobishi Jin suddenly laughed.

"So you haven't fallen asleep." Xie Sheng folded his arms, pretending to be disgusted and said, "Then you stand up quickly, I can't hold you."

Jin Shiyuan was still swaying when he stood up straight, but his consciousness was obviously much clearer: "I dare not fall asleep, I am really afraid that you will take the opportunity to bite me again."

Hearing this, Xie Sheng quickly glanced at the other person's face: "The injury on your face has healed?"

"Well, it's been ready for a long time." The young man rubbed his hand against the original tooth marks, "After throwing candied haws and melons and fruits into the lake, the gods' world has half a percentage more nutrients, although the effect is far from that of human animals. , but it is enough to take care of this skin trauma.”

"That's good." Seeing that his body was swaying like a drunk, Xie Sheng quickly supported his shoulders, "Are you really not sleepy anymore? Don't you need to sleep?"

Tobishijin stretched his tired eyelids: "If I'm not in the God Realm, you can't go in at all. I have to stay awake and open the door for you."

He straightened his face, pulled himself together, walked to the thick wall covered with flowers and leaves, recited a mantra, and then split the grass wall with a wave of his hand.

The grass wall stretches outward, and the flower branches bloom inward, forming a dark and fragrant path.

Xie Sheng walked in after him, and after a while, it suddenly became clear that the clear Chenyou Lake appeared in the field of vision.Xie Sheng turned his head and saw that the secret path had disappeared.

"It's impossible for you to come to me from afar for no reason, there must be something else." Toshiro Jin found a comfortable stone to lean on, sat down, and his red eyelids almost drooped again: "Hurry up." Come on, I'm going to sleep now."

He was so sleepy that he had lost the most basic defense, and fell asleep without drooping his eyelids.Seeing this, Xie Sheng curled the corners of his lips, thinking that when Yuan Shiren would not be sleepy one day, he must tell him about his stupid appearance, and make him feel ashamed.

How to convey this stupidity to the other party intuitively?

Have it.

Xie Sheng had an idea, and immediately conjured up a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. He sat in front of Yuan Shiren, drew a ladle on a gourd, and simply outlined the other party's sleeping appearance. Figure" these seven characters.

That's it.

Xie Sheng had flown thousands of miles overnight, and was exhausted by now.He looked at the sleeping face of the boy opposite, and soon fell asleep together.

Shenhua slept for a long time, turned over and pressed on a piece of rice paper.He brought it in front of him in a daze, took a closer look, and immediately sat up in shock.

——Dream map of Iris head flower.

But isn't this... himself?

In the painting, he is leaning against a stone, and his robe is open at the neckline, revealing half of his neck bone and slender neck.The bun was scattered to the shoulders, and the eyelids seemed to have not fallen, like a little doll he had seen secretly dozing off in the village school.

The hem of his clothes was lifted by the wind, but he was indifferent in the painting.

But with just a few strokes, he painted his sleepy appearance with both spirit and form—at least that's what Toshiro Jin thinks.

Yuan Shiren turned his gaze, and suddenly saw that at this moment, Xie Sheng was sleeping soundly on the stone beside him.

Xie Sheng turned around and hugged the boy's thigh in his sleep.
