Before becoming a cat demon

Before the man rode his horse to the door, he jumped off his horse. I don't know if it was because he was too eager, but his figure seemed a little unstable.

Shen Tingzhi watched him walk quickly to the door, hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.

The Song family is a big business family, the house was built in a magnificent style, and the red carved wooden door is even more luxurious and magnificent, but now the building is empty, the house is left unattended, and even the door has a dull atmosphere.

Shen Tingzhi saw that the man seemed to be even more depressed, and he stepped into the house with heavy steps.It wasn't long before the Song family moved out, and although no one took care of it for a while, it was still clean and tidy.

But it may be because it just rained the night before, and the branches and leaves fell all over the yard, adding a bit of desolation to the empty house.

That person seemed to be no stranger to this place. Although his footsteps were slow, he did not wander aimlessly, but consciously moved in one direction.He looked around while walking, as if he was looking at the surrounding environment.But Shen Tingzhi looked at his expression and felt that it was not, and there was more on his face, with a kind of nostalgia.

Shen Tingzhi was puzzled, so he looked at him a few more times.He is now a soul body, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered, so he can look at it openly.

Gradually, he noticed something strange.

He actually felt that this person was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

This was not his illusion, Shen Ting thought, maybe "Song Qingyan" had really seen this person, but his memory was not deep enough, so he couldn't remember it.

Only then did he pay attention, and found that the man had stopped at some point.

Shen Tingzhi turned around suspiciously, but was surprised to find that this person stopped in his yard, strictly speaking, it was the place where "he" lived before his death.

Could it be that this person knows Song Qingyan?

Judging by his expression, it seems that he is not unfamiliar.

I saw that person standing alone in the courtyard, his tall figure felt somewhat vulnerable in the wind.He looked lonely, with deep grief on his face, and his eyes that looked a little harsh were obviously red.

Shen Tingzhi was originally watching all this as an outsider, but at this moment he felt a little uneasy, he tried to ask the system: "Is this person really thinking about Song Qingyan?"

But he waited for a long time and no one answered. Shen Tingzhi was used to the system being haunted, and he didn't actually expect the other party to answer him. It's just that this "ghost" has been around for a long time, and he is really lonely.

He originally thought that since that person has already come here, he should have known the news of his death just by looking at his appearance before, and now he would go into that room to take a look at it no matter what, as a memory, but who knew he just Standing there, staring at the door in a daze, I don't know where my thoughts have fallen.

The man stood there all the time, as if he was going to stand forever.

Suddenly a cat called woke him up, and Shen Tingzhi realized that the cat that was standing outside the wall had followed in at some time.

The man turned around, and the tense expression on his face seemed to relax a little when he saw the kitten, but his expression was still very strange, like crying or laughing.

Suddenly, Shen Ting felt a little sad.But looking at the person and the cat, Shen Tingzhi finally remembered why he felt that this person was familiar.

The reason why this kitten comes here every day is not without reason. Back then, Song Qingyan went to the temple to pray for incense, and met this dying kitten on the road, so he was rescued by someone.

It was just because he was not in good health, and everyone around here thought that kittens and puppies were unclean, fearing that it would make his condition worse, Madam Song gave the kitten away on her own initiative.

Although Song Qingyan couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't want to make his parents worry, so he acquiesced.

It's just that since then, the kitten has been wandering around here from time to time.

When Song Qingyan saw it, he was inevitably moved with compassion, so he kept bringing some food to feed him without telling his parents.He is also very fond of small animals, and sometimes he forgets the time when he stays.

One day, he secretly fed the kitten as usual, and the servant who guarded him suddenly sent a letter saying that his mother was coming here, Mrs. Song knew the cat very well, and it was near his house. Song Qingyan was afraid that his mother would notice something strange, so in a hurry, he pulled a man from the side of the road, stuffed cat food into his hand and asked him to help.

He didn't pay attention to that person's appearance at that time, but now that Shen Tingzhi thinks about it carefully, isn't it the person in front of him?

The man obviously recognized the kitten, and he knelt down and stroked its fur gently.The kitten walked up to his feet and rubbed against him affectionately. There was a sense of sympathy for each other.

None of them made a sound, as if they were missing someone who passed away together.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and the person who came soon arrived in front of him. He was dressed as a servant, and when he saw the man just now, he bowed hurriedly to salute.

"General, Your Majesty urgently calls you into the palace."

"Yes, I see." The man replied in a deep voice, he bent down to pick up the kitten, and signaled the boy to lead the way.

Unexpectedly, he was really the general who just returned to the imperial court, Shen Tingzhi thought to himself, and subconsciously followed his steps. When he came back to his senses, Shen Tingzhi was surprised to find that he had left the house.

Suddenly freed, Shen Tingzhi felt a little uncomfortable.There was nowhere to go, so Shen Tingzhi followed the general all the way to the general's mansion, saying that he went to the general's mansion, but in fact the general did not enter.

He followed the boy to the General's Mansion, where an older man who looked like the housekeeper was already waiting at the door.

In Shen Tingzhi's impression, for a general like him who has made such great achievements, when he returns to the court, the battle should be very huge. There are thousands of people in the alleys, the neighbors line the streets to welcome them, and the servants and family members of the mansion wait collectively at the door.

But right now, even with the addition of two guards who seemed to be good at skills and a few guards at the gate, there were no more than seven or eight people left and right.

But having said that, the movement Shen Tingzhi heard on the wall just now might be the common people welcoming the general, but he didn't see it with his own eyes.But no matter what he said, there was still something wrong with the situation in front of him, and he couldn't tell what was wrong specifically.

The general handed the cat in his arms to the housekeeper, and said: "Uncle Lao Zhou will feed him some food, I will go to the palace to meet the saint, and I will come back as soon as I go."

Uncle Zhou took the cat and nodded in response.He pursed the corners of his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed softly.

Shen Tingzhi watched in confusion, not knowing what kind of riddle they were playing.Seeing that the door of the general's mansion was about to close, he also slipped in lightly.

The General's Mansion is not as luxurious as Shen Tingzhi imagined. Instead, it is simple and low-key everywhere. Even some necessary decorations are not beautiful enough, but more than solemn. This inevitably makes Shen Tingzhi think of the owner of this mansion. It's not like someone with sentimentality.

Shen Tingzhi was thinking like this, and unknowingly came to a courtyard. He had nothing to do, so he opened a door at random.

He glanced at it and was suddenly speechless in shock.

I saw paintings everywhere in the room, and these portraits were all of the same person without exception.

There is the appearance of the man standing under the willow tree frowning slightly; there is the appearance of the man petting the kitten and smiling; there is the appearance of the man sitting in the teahouse and taking a sip of tea...

There are full-body portraits and partial details.

This is too crazy, right?Shen Tingzhi was secretly dumbfounded, and more importantly, the person in this painting was exactly the same as himself.

If he didn't know that he was a time traveler, Shen Tingzhi couldn't help but suspect that the person in this painting is actually himself?

Shen Tingzhi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly thought of "Song Qingyan".

He rushed out of the room and found a well. He wanted to draw water to reflect his current appearance, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't grasp the real thing at all, because the soul would pass through it.

Not only that, but he also thought of a problem.Since you can't see him from others, you probably can't reflect your own appearance in the water.

Thinking about that scene, Shen Tingzhi still felt chills down his back.It's one thing to know you're a ghost, but quite another to prove it yourself.

Shocked by the fact that he turned into a ghost, Shen Tingzhi lost the interest in continuing to visit the house. He was planning to go out and wander around the street for a few times.

So fast?

Shen Tingzhi was surprised, not only that, he also found that the general was wearing casual clothes!If he remembered correctly, he did not take off his battle armor before entering the palace just now.

Should he be...

"Ji Feihan has handed over his military power, please decree to disarm and return to the field."

The sudden sound of the system startled Shen Tingzhi, and the latter hurriedly asked, "Why didn't he become a good general?"

System: "I don't know about that."

Shen Ting said conveniently: "You should know what happened, right? It was before Ji Feihan set off for the expedition."

System: "The Hu people suddenly invaded about a month ago. It happened that Ji Feihan was injured and asked his family to rest at home, so the DPRK and China had been arguing about who would lead the army. One day Ji Feihan found the emperor and took the initiative to ask for a fight, but he But there was a request."

"Ji Feihan has a great military exploits and a great reputation. Of course, the emperor is willing to send him to fight, and he will naturally agree to his request. It's just that the current emperor is short-sighted. He thinks he has what Ji Feihan wants, so he has no scruples." , so he insisted on waiting for Ji Feihan to win and return to court before granting him what he asked for."

Shen Tingzhi was startled and doubtful, and asked: "The thing he wants must be related to Song Qing...Is it related to me?"

System: "What Ji Feihan is looking for is the legendary resurrection grass that can revive the dead."

Shen Tingzhi, as a modern doctor, has a skeptical attitude towards what the system says.

"Is this stuff really that magical?"

System: "It doesn't matter if it's really that magical or not. The emperor just wanted good news, and Ji Feihan did it."

"It's a pity that Song Qingyan died before he had time to get the Resurrection Grass." Shen Tingzhi answered, with some embarrassment in his words.
