In the evening, the red clouds hang in the sky, adding a bit of tranquility to the midsummer.
Several children were herding sheep and grazing by the river, playing with each other, holding puppies made of dogtail grass in their hands, and their childish laughter seemed to infect the fish in the river. Spitting bubbles.
The ewe led the lamb, sometimes lowered its head to eat grass, and sometimes rubbed its horns with hard stones on the ground. When no one noticed, a lamb ran into the woods.
After a few children played, it was almost dark, and they led their sheep and rushed home.
Ah Wang held the ewe and counted the lambs as usual: "One, two, three, four..."
After counting, Ah Wang found that a lamb was missing.
He had to find the lamb that was left behind, and Aqin, who played well with Ah Wang, followed suit.
The two children searched around, but they didn't find any sign of the lamb. Ah Wang was so anxious that he almost cried.
Ah Qin looked at the woods and touched Ah Wang's arm: "A Wang, has your lamb gone into the woods?"
Ah Wang glanced at the woods, remembering the story his mother told him, he was terrified.
But he didn't dare to go home, he was afraid that his mother would scold him.
After all, sheep are the main source of income for their family, and he is still waiting to sell the sheep so that he can go to school.
Ah Wang said, "I'm going in to find the lamb, do you want to go with me?"
Ah Qin was hesitant. He looked at the sheep in his hand and said to Ah Wang, "We're going in. What about the sheep? If someone steals them, we'll be in trouble."
Ah Wang put the rope into Ah Qin's hands, and ran into the woods, leaving Ah Qin standing outside the woods worriedly.
There is a custom in Heyuan Village.
On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the village chief and the high priest would go through the woods to the back mountain to pray to the mountain god and give them fairy meat.
Immortal meat, as the name suggests, is the meat of immortals.
This meat can be said to be a cure for all diseases, not only that, but for an old man who is sick and has only one breath left, as long as he eats a mouthful of fairy meat, he will recover more than half of it within a quarter of an hour, let alone a complete recovery.
But this meat, only a little at a time.
The village head’s family keeps one piece, the high priest wants one piece, and the remaining piece is decided by lottery. The larger the number drawn, the more fairy meat will be distributed.
A Wang's family was given a chopstick last month, and his parents were reluctant to eat it, so they kept it on the altar table. On the altar table were the pork and a few big red apples that the family only willingly eat during the Spring Festival.
Although there is fairy meat in the back mountain, except for the village chief and the high priest, no one else can go there without permission, otherwise they will be blamed by the mountain god and their family members will be blamed.
The rights of the village chief and the high priest are fully demonstrated in this village that is almost isolated from the outside world.
That's why Ah Qin is afraid, afraid that people will see Ah Wang enter the grove and cause disaster.
Ah Wang went into the woods here, the woods were very quiet, no insects or birds chirping, as quiet as if there were no living things.
Ah Wang has heard from his mother since he was a child that there are monsters in the woods that eat people, and they especially like to eat the flesh of children, so they told him not to come close.
Today, it was also a friend who said that the grass by the river was more plump, so Ah Wang came here with the sheep. If he was given ten courages in normal times, he would not dare.
It got darker as he walked in, Ah Wang was only an eight-year-old child, and he was also very scared, but he still bravely called the lamb in a low voice.
Ah Wang gave each lamb a name, and this lost lamb was named Xiaohua, because it had a color that other lambs did not have.
"Xiaohua, where are you, Xiaohua? Hurry up, Xiaohua, we are going home..."
"Baa baa baa baa—"
Ah Wang tried all kinds of methods, but still failed to call Xiao Hua out.
He didn't dare to go inside, for fear that he would be eaten by monsters in the back mountain when he reached the back mountain.
Just when he was disheartened, a low sheep cry caught his attention.
Ah Wang quickly responded: "Is Xiao Hua you? Come out quickly."
He yelled as he walked in, there was only one road in the woods, but Ah Wang walked, the road suddenly turned ninety degrees, and Xiao Hua, on the edge of a stone next to the corner, was fiddled with something with her head down. .
Ah Wang ran over, grabbed the rope around Xiao Hua's neck, and pulled it: "Xiao Hua, you are so misbehaving, I will teach you a lesson when I get home."
"Hey, what is this?"
Ah Wang squatted down, stretched out his hand, and brushed aside the grass, which was too dense to cover the kitten on the ground.
Ah Wang picked up the kitten, his eyes shone with joy, this cat was very similar to the one he hadn't seen before!
He looked around and found no one. He hugged the cat in one hand and led the sheep in the other, and ran away.
The kitten being held by him jolted, and slowly opened its closed eyes.
When Gu An felt it, he felt a shaking, as if his body was put into a bottle and shaken up and down.
He opened his eyelids and wanted to reach out to rub his eyes, but when he raised his hand, he realized that the touch was wrong.
Fluffy and soft.
Gu An looked down and was suffocated for a while.
His slender hands, at some point, turned into pink and tender cat's claws, he quickly called Ming Ye in his heart, and he called out several times, but he didn't hear a response.
Tried to call 520 again, but got no answer.
Gu An's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Ah Wang felt the movement of Gu An in his hand, and he said pleasantly: "Little cat, you are awake, don't be afraid, I am not a bad person, may I take you home?"
"There are human-eating monsters here. You, a kitten, are very unsafe here. Come home with me, and I will protect you!"
Gu An raised his eyelids and meowed, and the whole cat revealed a low breath.
Ah Wang raised his arm and rubbed his cheek against Gu An's soft body: "Don't be afraid, we'll be out right away."
Gu An twisted his body and raised his head.
As far as the eye can see, there is an abundance of greenery.
Ah Wang ran very fast, and ran out of the woods in a few minutes.
Seeing Ah Wang coming out, Ah Qin hurried over. When he saw the kitten in Ah Wang's hand, he liked it very much: "A Wang, this cat is so beautiful."
Ah Wang proudly said: "Yes, touch its head, it's very soft!"
Ah Qin obeyed Ah Wang's words, and stretched out her hand to touch Gu An's head. Gu An moved his head and hid. He didn't like being touched on the head.
Ah Qin was extremely frustrated: "The kitten doesn't like me."
Ah Wang comforted Ah Qin: "Maybe it's too dark here, and the kitten is afraid. When we get home, the kitten will let you touch it."
Ah Qin was coaxed by Ah Wang, and looked at Gu An happily.
It was getting dark by this time.
The two children didn't delay anymore, they led the sheep and hugged the cat, talked and laughed and rushed home.
After they left, a phantom appeared in the place where Gu An was just now. The phantom was dressed in a white robe, with waist-length hair, dusty eyebrows and eyes, and looked like no ordinary person.
The phantom is Ming Ye. Ming Ye was sucked into the whirlpool and fell into a cave. He couldn't move. Even though he wanted to go to Gu An's side like crazy, his body was imprisoned, and even his fingers couldn't move. Can't move.
Until Gu An entered the world of punishment.
Only then did Ming slowly regain control of his body. In this world, he was like a spirit body.
After feeling Gu An's breath, Ming rushed over quickly, but he was still a step too late, and Gu An was picked up before he arrived.
But because of his body, he couldn't leave the cave, so he could only walk around the cave.
Ming also looked at the road out of the woods, his eyes were obscure.
After a while, he left with a gloomy face.
After he left, where he was, there was a footprint of a few centimeters on the ground.
Gu An was taken home by Ah Wang.
Awang's house is at the west end of Heyuan Village, and Aqin's house is next door to his house.
When they went back, their parents had already been waiting anxiously, standing at the door and looking around.
Ah Wang held the sheep in one hand and the cat in the other, shouting as he ran, "Mom, I'm back!"
Axiu opened her arms and hugged Ah Wang: "Mom already knows, and when Xiao Yang is gone, I will go home first and let Mom and Dad look for it, do you understand?"
Ah Wang acted like a baby in Ah Xiu's arms: "I know, Mom."
He held the kitten in his hand in front of Axiu, and said like offering a treasure: "Look, mom, kitten."
Axiu's eyes were complicated, she stretched out her hand to pinch Awang's face, and said, "Silly boy, this cat is a stray cat, you can't feed it well, did you forget Huahua?"
Ah Wang said coquettishly: "Mom, if I treat the kitten well, it won't run away from home."
Axiu said yes, yes.
A Yuan on the side led the sheep and said, "I would go home to pick up some cats and dogs all day long, knowing that they are not cooked well, and when they leave, you will make trouble again."
Ah Wang looked serious: "No, Dad, I will take good care of the kitten and won't let it leave!"
A Yuan touched his son's face, but finally couldn't hold back the blow.
Ah Qin on the other side is being taught by his mother.
A Wang was led by A Xiu, and spoke loudly to A Qin: "A Qin, I'll go find you tomorrow morning, don't sleep in!"
Ah Qin escaped from his mother's clutches, and replied loudly: "You just slept late!"
"Aqin is a lazy pig!"
"Ah Wang is a lazy pig!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, your grandma made your favorite mashed potatoes."
"Yeah, long live Grandma!"
Everything was silent.
The lights in Heyuan Village were all turned off, and Gu An was placed by A Wang's bedside.
Gu An walked out of the small basket, walking in a strange posture because of the unfamiliar cat's body.
Staggering to the window, Gu An used his jumping ability to easily jump onto the window sill.
Emerald-like cat eyes, looking at the moon in the sky.
The moon is bright today.
Gu An was blown by the night wind, and closed his eyes comfortably.
The eyesight of a cat is much better than that of a human at night, and he can clearly see the scenery outside.
After a while, a big gray cat ran over.
It saw Gu An squatting on the window sill, and asked, "Little guy, why are you here? Everyone went to the back mountain to grab food, why didn't you go?"
Before Gu An could answer, the big cat jumped up, grabbed Gu An by the back of the neck, jumped off the window sill, and ran towards the back hill.
Gu An struggled endlessly, Big Cat said.
"Little guy, don't move around, uncle will take you to eat delicious food."
Gu An narrowed his eyes.
After quieting down, he was carried to the back mountain by the big cat.
