"It's not easy. Among the young people nowadays, there are still such kind and good children like you." The old woman touched my head kindly, "It reminds me of my son, who is like you, always treating me with respect. People are very kind. Alas, what a pity."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will do my best to help you." I smiled and said embarrassedly, "Although I may not be as capable as Mr. Wen, I am very concerned about your son's situation. Will do my best."
"That Mr. Wen, no matter how powerful he is, so what?" The old man was a little annoyed, "He is so cold-blooded! It's a shame that he is still an exorcist, and he has no human feelings at all!"
I had no choice but to laugh dryly, "He's really like that sometimes... But he's a weird person, I believe he doesn't mean anything malicious."
The old man snorted through his nose, "Hmph, there is no malice, who would believe it?"
I was a little embarrassed, so I quickly changed the subject, "However, uncle and aunt, I'm not as knowledgeable as Mr. Wen. If I want to save your son, I'm afraid I'll have to spend two days to find a way to save him..."
But before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by the old woman, "Son, you don't need to spend so much effort to find a way. To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell. The Taoist priest told us long ago that to save Yingcai, you have to find that cat demon first."
"Find that Jinhua cat?" I asked.
The old woman nodded, "Yes, so child, if you really want to help us, first help us find that nasty cat demon. Once you find it, you will have a solution."
The old lady's statement is not unreasonable, after all, for this couple, they must hate the cat demon who killed their son very much. I couldn't help but think of Wen Jiubai's discussion about whether monsters are evil. It is true that the criteria for good and bad are set by humans themselves, but when humans and monsters conflict, I will still stand by humans without hesitation. And to be honest, with my current EQ, I really can't understand the problem from the perspective of monsters.
That cat demon...why would he do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself? Could it be that this is the instinct of monsters
"Then, what does that cat demon look like?" I asked.
"It's a very beautiful woman." The old man said, frowning, as if it was hard to describe, "Small face, thin eyebrows, and red lips... Well, in short, she is a woman with a sense of seductiveness. "
"Yes, yes." The old woman also echoed, "It's too beautiful, but it has a kind of evil spirit!"
"That means there are no photos?" I asked.
The old couple looked at each other and shook their heads in embarrassment.
There are no photos... I sighed secretly in my heart. In this way, it is very difficult to handle, and it is another commission to find a needle in a haystack.

"Golden cat?"
I nodded and asked, "Do you have any impression of this name?"
Shi Yitong lowered his head and thought for a while, "Hmm... I seem to have heard it from somewhere. Maybe Grandpa told me before, it seems to be a cat that can become a sperm. What's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask this?"
"Well, it's actually..." I thought about it, and decided to tell Shi Yitong all the ins and outs, including how the old couple persistently knocked on the door, and how Wen Jiubai refused indifferently.
"So, it's done like this now." I sighed, "The old couple wanted to find the Jinhua cat demon, but they didn't even have a picture. How could I find it by myself, so this is not Came to help you?"
As I expected, Shi Yitong straightened his face immediately after hearing this, "If you don't help, you too, why should you put your face on your face and your ass, and clean up the mess for that Wen."
"You make it sound like I'm willing to help him." I muttered, "I didn't mean to help him, but if I don't accept the commission, wouldn't there be no one to help the old couple?"
"Gu Yu, you are really a straightforward Aries." Shi Yitong scratched his head, looking helpless, "Jinhua cat... I only know that this kind of cat can become a sperm, and after becoming a sperm, it can turn into a human form, and then seduce Human beings. But this is just a vague legend, if you want to check the information, you still have to go home and look through my grandfather's relics."
"I'll go with you," I said immediately.
After a long time, I followed Shi Yitong to his home again. The last time I came here, Wen Jiubai presided over a solemn funeral for Shi Yitong's grandfather, and the whole family was filled with sadness. But this time, this secluded small village has regained its original tranquility.
"After grandpa passed away, grandma packed up a lot of things at home." Shi Yitong talked to me while walking on the road, "We don't hold funerals at home anymore. Grandma keeps a cage of pigeons and feeds them every day. It's pretty laid back."
"That's pretty cool." I smiled.
"Yes, but occasionally grandma would sit in the yard in a daze, showing a very lonely look in her eyes." Shi Yitong sighed, "Grandpa left too abruptly, took away a lot of things from this family, and left us nothing. Yes At that time, I even felt that grandpa hadn't left yet, and many things in the house carried the breath of grandpa."
I looked at Shi Yitong, and didn't know how to comfort him, so I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Your grandfather is an amazing person, his spirit in heaven will definitely protect you, don't worry."
Shi Yitong nodded, showing a sunny smile that I am familiar with.
Hearing that I was coming, Shi Yitong's grandma started planning a sumptuous dinner a long time in advance. Although I shirked it many times, grandma still kept a lot of food for me with a smile until I couldn't eat any more. My wife just let me go.
"Grandma, are grandpa's belongings kept in that room to the north?" During the meal, Shi Yitong asked vaguely.
"Yeah, the old man has all his things big and small over there." Grandma asked, "Why, what are you looking for?"
Shi Yitong nodded, put the last few mouthfuls of rice in the bowl into his mouth, then put down the bowl, and stood up, "I'm full! Gu Yu, let's go!"
"This child, eat slowly, do you know?"
"It's okay, let's go!"
"Ah..." Before I could react, I was dragged away by Shi Yitong.
