Black cats can ward off evil spirits and are not the ominous creatures that people think they are.
After Xiao Yi read the "Shu Zang" thoroughly, he naturally understood this principle.
Ancient books have records: Black cat is a thing to ward off evil spirits. If it is placed in the south, all your descendants will be blessed.
The black cat here refers to the black cat.
Black cats usually take the initiative to suppress unclean beings and drive away evil spirits. Because of this, black cats can be found wherever there are evil spirits. Over time, people begin to misunderstand that black cats are the culprits that bring these ominous things, and people mistakenly believe that encountering a black cat is a great disaster.
In medieval Europe, black cats were considered witches' pets. People believed that witches had their own servants who could appear in various forms: such as cats, crows, owls, etc.
At that time, the plague was rampant in Europe, and the black fear lasted for hundreds of years.
Christians blamed cats for everything, calling them symbols of paganism, and taught people that "cats are witches incarnate, messengers of hell, and possess the power of Satan, and they must be destroyed." Cats were dubbed the devil's messengers, causing them to be persecuted even more. People also believed that cats raised by witches could speak and predict the future, and were goblins for witches to command. Black cats became the incarnation of the devil when he played tricks on humans, and everyone hated them.
To this day, in the Western world, if you encounter a black cat on a dark Friday night, it means that the person will suffer bad luck.
Whether it is to ward off evil or to summon evil, black cats have their own magical qualities, let alone an awakened black cat.
According to ancient legends and myths, the black cat can wander between the world of the living and the underworld, acting as a messenger of the dead, and even has the ability to summon spirits.
Xiao Yi made a preliminary judgment and drove the Wuling Hongguang across most of Jiangcheng and drove around the surrounding area, but naturally found nothing.
A black cat disappears in the city. Finding it is much harder than finding a person.
Master, important information has been found, the owner of the black cat has been found!
“Well, so fast? Worthy of praise…” My dear daughter has a new brain. She is different and extremely smart.
The owner of the black cat was an elderly man who lived alone. He died at 23:19 on August 20. The surveillance video that was searched now can find the existence of the black cat... It is confirmed that the black cat had awakened before the old man died...
"It's been so long since you awakened?"
Xiao Yi stopped the Wuling Hongguang on the side of the road. This was quite interesting. An awakened animal actually accompanied an elderly man living alone until his death.
Was it killed, accidental, or passed away peacefully
Then, a video was uploaded to Eva's mobile phone, a black and white surveillance footage.
These are all videos of black cats accompanying old people to buy groceries and stroll around. The old people’s rough palms are stroking the satin-like fur. The black cats squint their eyes and enjoy it very much, and the old people are also smiling happily.
The last video shows an old man being sent to the hospital late at night with cerebral congestion.
Even Eva checked the police phone number and heard an anxious cat call.
The black cat appeared again in the hospital's surveillance video that day, flashing across the screen.
But on the day of the funeral, the black cat did not appear in the video or surveillance, and seemed to have passed away with the old man.
It can be seen from the monitoring that
The old man's funeral was grand.
The old man's daughter cried very sadly.
The old man's son said that he would take him to Shanghai to enjoy a good life next month...
A house full of children and grandchildren!
But the old man is gone!
The neighbors all said that the old man was not so lucky.
A few days later, the children went their separate ways and the house was put up for sale. Under the current circumstances, naturally no one was interested in it.
"How much is that house now? Forget it, let's just go there!"
It’s not difficult to use your privileges to get a key from the agent.
The neighborhood where the elderly live is not a high-end one, and it is even very old, with buildings from the last century. Perhaps people become nostalgic when they get old and don’t want to move!
It's the first floor, which is very suitable for elderly people with mobility problems, but it's very humid and not really suitable for elderly people to live in.
Xiao Yi took out the key and turned it, and the door opened.
Slightly stunned.
In front of me was an old lady with gray hair and a frail appearance. She was dressed neatly, wearing an apron and holding a soup ladle in her hand.
"Who are you?"
"I... I'm a community warm-hearted person. Grandma, I'm home alone! Please lock the door to avoid thieves... Grandma, can you come in and sit for a while?"
Having said that, he swiftly put the key into the "imaginary space", then turned around and instantly took out fruits and other things that had been stuffed in there before, in large and small bags.
“Young man, you are not a liar, are you? I don’t buy health products…” The old woman was very cautious and tightened the soup ladle in her hand. She was a very shrewd old lady.
"How could he be a liar? This is my ID, issued by the government..."
The red book, the national emblem stamp, the righteous spirit, cannot be copied.
The old lady looked at the red book and smiled, letting him in, saying, "It's true, young man, you've worked hard. My soup is almost ready. Have a bowl before you leave. It's autumn now, and it's time to take some tonic. If my son, daughter, grandchildren were around, they would definitely like to drink the soup I cook..."
After closing the door, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "The soup smells delicious. I can smell it at the stairs. Does grandma live alone?"
"How can I be alone? I have a cat to chat with. Next year my son will move into a bigger house and take me there to enjoy the good life. But... I still don't want to go. I'm unfamiliar with the big city and I can get lost even when buying groceries. And I don't dare to take the elevator because the floors are too high. My grandson has asthma and I can't bring the cat with me... You sit down and I'll serve you some soup!"
As he spoke, he tiptoed towards the kitchen unsteadily.
"Yes! No one is willing to leave the house they have lived in for their whole life..."
The room was not big and was empty, with only a few pots of plants left to decorate the windowsill.
Because no one had lived there and cleaned the floor for many days, a small layer of dust had accumulated on the floor, and there was a musty smell in the air.
Xiao Yi whispered towards the kitchen with a bitter smile on his face.
It’s not a ghost!
How can a pure soul stay in the world of the living until now
The black cat...
It is using its vital energy to nourish the old lady's soul. What on earth does it want to do
The old lady came over with the soup and Xiao Yi took it with both hands.
Is this to drink or not to drink
Slowly stirring the "thick soup" with a spoon, Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Grandma, why don't I see the cat you raised?"
"You mean Hei Niu! Go out and play!"
"Oh, the community is going to conduct physical examinations for the elderly recently, and pets need to be vaccinated. Don't worry, it's all free..."
"Free is good, free is good. Come on, have some soup, I have a big pot..."
"Mother-in-law, if I asked you to move to another place, would you be willing?"
"The Guo family is going to take away the house? It's not even 70 years old yet!" The old lady looked very angry.
At the same time, a cat's cry was heard in the empty house, and the cat's shadow was very long under the slanting setting sun.
Getting longer and longer!
It was so long that it seemed to have submerged the entire house...
