only in this mountain

Thanks to Xiong Xiong's help, what Zhao Xiufeng himself judged to be hopeless has turned around again. His car was only repaired in the afternoon, and he and Jiang He finished drawing the remaining cats together during this period.

Originally, I planned to rush back to the city that night and find someone to mount it as soon as possible, but unexpectedly the weather suddenly changed with thunder and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.

After waiting for two hours, the rain was not showing a tendency to fall. Zhao Xiufeng insisted on leaving, but Jiang He and the others couldn't persuade him.

After the black cat is subdued by the yellow shirt, it will not make trouble again for a short time, but it is also like a withered plant due to lack of water, and its hair is eclipsed, which is very different from when it first came here.

Regarding its situation, Jiang He has nothing to do if he doesn't explain the reason clearly. He can only say to it before Zhao Xiufeng takes it into the car: "I don't know what kind of relationship there is between you, but his nature is not bad, maybe it was just unintentional." I offended you, you have a lot of big cats, give him a way out."

The black cat didn't even open its eyelids lifelessly, but its black fur was rapidly turning gray and white at a visible speed.Jiang He didn't know if this was the effect of the ban or the black cat's loss of life force. Seeing that it was so sluggish, he quickly thought of another question. If Zhao Xiufeng brought back a dead cat, the person who made him draw the cat would still be satisfied. ?

"Why—" Zhao Xiufeng also came to Jiang He's side, and before he finished asking, the black cat in Jiang He's arms suddenly jumped up and scratched his eyes with its paws.No one expected this situation to happen, Zhao Xiufeng didn't even have time to hide, he covered his face and cried out in pain, while the black cat squatted on the ground and laughed loudly.

No, it couldn't be said to be a black cat now, its original coat color had faded to a light gray that was a little darker than pure white.

"Give him a way to survive? What about those cats that died because of him? Shouldn't they have a way to survive?" Not only did the color of their fur change, but their eyes also turned blood red, glaring at the people in the room.

The black cat's determination was too strong, and its anger obviously couldn't be neutralized by a few words. Jiang He couldn't help but regret that he was talking too much, and he didn't dare to say anything at this moment to avoid angering it again.

Zhao Xiufeng's hands were already bleeding, so I don't know how he was hurt.It's been raining outside all the time, so it's probably unrealistic to go to the health center to find a village doctor. Fortunately, he has basic medical supplies here, so I can only temporarily wrong him and let Zhang Huai, a veterinarian, help him take a look.

Jiang He found the cage where the snowball was placed before and temporarily locked the black cat in, watching it for a long time through the cage.The black cat spoke according to its mood, and seeing that it didn't respond to him at all, Jiang He sighed and finally gave up the plan to communicate with it.

Turning his head, he saw Zhao Xiufeng hugging Zhang Huai, tears streaming down his unbandaged eye, he cried and said, "Why did you do this to me? What did I do wrong?"

"What did you do wrong? You have to ask yourself. In my opinion, it is your fault that you are hugging my boyfriend now." He is not a philanthropist, so it is fine to treat his wounds. rent.

He rushed over without warning, Zhang Huai was still concentrating on wrapping gauze on his wound, so he didn't push him away in time.

The black cat really hates Zhao Xiufeng. The claw mark starts from the brow bone of the right eye, runs across the upper and lower eyelids, passes through the bridge of the nose, and ends on the left cheek. It is very deep. Even if the eyes are fine, there will be scars on his face in the future. .

Zhang Huai sympathized with what happened to him, but couldn't share anything else for him.

After telling Zhao Xiufeng not to move around or try to open his eyes, Zhang Huai pulled away from him and went out to wash his hands.

Jiang He cleaned up the desktop, and seeing Zhao Xiufeng's distraught appearance, he finally couldn't bear it, and said to him, "Find someone who will drive you for you tomorrow morning, and you still have time." Although he also knew that this situation is no longer the time He couldn't even imagine the desperate situation Zhao Xiufeng was facing.

Zhao Xiufeng murmured: "I should have understood it when I first discovered that the painted cat would disappear. I shouldn't take chances and think that all this is just my imagination. My brain is not broken and I am very clear-headed." , all of this is true."

"What happened?" It wasn't the first time he asked him, and this time Jiang He didn't have much hope, he just felt that he needed a voice to break the depression at this moment.

Zhao Xiufeng was silent for a while, then slowly opened his mouth and said: "After the exhibition last year, a person began to appear in front of me frequently. He said...he wanted to pursue me. No matter how I refused, he would haunt me like a dog's skin plaster...I'm looking for someone Tied him up and beat him hard, said a lot of insulting words to him, he disappeared for a while, I thought he gave up. Not long ago, my parents took me to a drinking party, and I found that person was there, and My parents kept courting him, and brought back a cat for me to draw afterwards. If I didn’t draw, they kept begging me until Uncle Tang had a sudden stroke. My father was suspended for investigation, and my mother slapped me and told me not to be self-willed again. , I realized the seriousness of the matter."

Jiang He didn't understand official affairs, and simply thought that as long as he was upright, he wouldn't be afraid of other people's tricks behind his back, it might not be comprehensive. The innocence of Zhao Xiufeng's parents had nothing to do with this matter, and that person came for Zhao Xiufeng personally.

"I actually know that his purpose is not to paint, but for my parents, I have no other way. It started very smoothly, and I quickly drew a picture of a hundred cats. On the morning when I decided to send it with my mother, The background color of the painted picture is still the cat, but it is gone. I thought he was playing tricks secretly, and added the cat again, but it turned out that the skill of turning around after finishing the painting was gone. The companies invested by my parents went bankrupt one after another , he was pressing every step of the way, so I had no choice but to put my hopes on others, and they encountered accidents as soon as they started painting. People were knocked into a coma on the spot... I know I can't escape this catastrophe, so I want to come and see Zhang Huai for the last time, to end the relationship of the past ten years."

To some extent, it makes sense to say that Jiang He and Zhao Xiufeng have similarities. They are both painters, emphasizing emotions and delicate thoughts. , Jiang He is not as good as Zhao Xiufeng, he thinks that things that do not belong to him will never have too much obsession, and as time goes by, he will look for substitutes.

It can't just be said that Zhao Xiufeng has a longer love than Jiang He, the growth environment of the two determines their own choice of what they want.

There is only one Zhang Huai in this world, and Jiang He won't let go if he catches him, so he can only say sorry to Zhao Xiufeng.

"Have you ever thought about why? The painted cat disappeared out of thin air, just because of that person's persecution?"

"I've thought about the reason, but I really don't know why...how it's just me..."

"Think about it carefully, have you ever killed a cat before?"

"It's impossible to kill cats, I like cats so much."

Surely not just any cat likes it, Jiang He thought to himself, you are very rude to that black cat.

It is understandable that Zhao Xiufeng has a bad attitude towards the black cat, so Jiang He does not doubt the truth of what he said. To find out the grievances between the two of them, he has to start with the black cat.

But the black cat ignored people, he was very helpless.

"It's raining a little bit, I'll go back first."

The sound of the rain outside the window never stopped at all, and the water in the yard that was not drained in time could almost flow over the back of the feet. I don't know how Zhang Huai judged that the rain was light.

"Go to bed early, and you must rest well."

Jiang He didn't even hold him back, seeing him as if he was avoiding some savage beast, he was puzzled but a little funny: "No matter how much you pushed before, you couldn't move, but now you can't even stay."

"Do you know some demon skills?" Zhao Xiufeng, who was depressed, spoke very softly, "Otherwise, why would he like you so much?"

Jiang He didn't hear clearly, Zhao Xiufeng said to himself again: "Forget it."

The room with the lights turned off was darker than usual, probably because the rain had completely enclosed the space, and the raindrops were crackling on the glass, and it seemed that something had been knocking on his heart to trouble him to fall asleep.

Is it because I haven't stayed up late for too long and disrupted my biological clock?Or the physical discomfort caused by the sudden drop in temperature?

Tossing and turning, moaning and sighing, unable to sleep and lying down, I was thinking about getting up to see if I could find something to do, when in the dark Xiaogu flew over with fluttering wings, "Xiaohe, there seems to be a sound outside, the rain is too heavy and I I don't know if I heard it wrong."

Although Jiang He could understand the words of animals, his hearing and other senses didn't improve much. He subconsciously wanted to go out after hearing Xiaogu's words, but Xiaogu stopped him and said, "It's raining so hard at such a late hour, it can't be human."

As soon as Xiaogu finished speaking, there was a thunderous thunder outside the house, and Jiang He shuddered all over, thinking that he had discovered another skill of Xiaogu—telling ghost stories.

But Huang Shan said that people have no so-called past and present lives, that is to say, they have no soul. If they are not humans, they must be animals. Maybe they came here to take shelter from the heavy rain.

I can feel that Xiaogu is very disturbed at the moment. Its claws grabbed Jiang He's arm so hard that it hurt him. Jiang He stroked its back a few times and decided to go out to have a look. After all, he rarely saw Xiaogu like this. .

I took an umbrella and a flashlight, opened the door, and found no abnormality at first. Except for the sound of rain, there was no other sound around, and I didn't see half of the animal. I turned around and prepared to go back to the house. A black shadow.

It seems to be a cat. Jiang He is not sure if he ran out of the painting. When he was looking at it, the black cat raised its head, and there was a bunch of white hair in the center of its forehead. Its chest and limbs seemed to be black and white, while the cat's eyes were dark. of.

"Where did the cat come from?" After confirming that it wasn't the same cat, Jiang He knelt down and wanted to hug it, but when his hand touched the cat's shivering body, he passed straight through.His heart turned cold, and the strongest feeling was not fear, but: "The stinky monster lied to me again!"

When he looked at the cat again, he felt that the cat's breath was cold and weird, which made him want to run away.

"Meow, why don't you let me in, it's so cold in here..." At first, it was only a weak voice, but gradually it began to tear people's hearts, and the bloody accusation tortured people's hearts one by one, "Why did you abandon me?"

Lightning illuminated the ground, and it was as bright as day for a moment, making Jiang He clearly see that the blackness on the black cat's limbs was actually dried blood.

The dull thunder spread from the sky, as if it was brewing to punish some kind of crime. Only those who are completely innocent will not tremble in their hearts and fear the next thunderbolt.

However, after Jiang He waited for a while, the thunder gradually faded away, and even the rain began to decrease.

Most of the clothes on his body were already wet, and it would be impossible to see the dawn immediately if he stood still. He said helplessly to the "kitten", "Do you want to go in?"

The cat stared at him with its head tilted, lonely and confused.Jiang He invited him again, and pointed to the door. Only then did he understand a little, jumped over the threshold, turned his head and continued to look at Jiang He, as if calling him to come in too.

"Is this the one outside the door?" Xiaogu was more sensitive than Jiang He, and it immediately noticed the abnormality of the cat brought back by Jiang He. When Jiang He came in, it didn't dare to get close to him, and hid in a far away place, it still had lingering fears.

Jiang Hedao: "It should be it, the sound is really shrill, and I feel it's creepy when I hear it."

After the cat entered the door, it found the snowball toy on the coffee table. It eagerly stretched out its claws to grab the feathers on the cat teasing stick, but it couldn't touch anything.

"It looks like this..." Jiang He started to take off his clothes, Xiaogu turned his head, and asked after a while: "Are you going to keep it?"

Jiang He once said that he would not keep cats, but after his knot was resolved, he could not resist the temptation of cats at all.The second idiot is as fraternal as he is, probably Xueqiu will be awkward for a while, and it should be acceptable after a long time.

"But it's less realistic than the cats in the paintings." Xiao Gu couldn't bear to see the poor little cat spirit still grabbing the cat-teasing stick undaunted.

Jiang He was also a little worried, even if he could raise a cat spirit, he couldn't be scared once when he looked so dirty and bloodstained.

"Draw it down." The black cat's voice came from the corner, "I have a way to make it a reality."

Not long after, the black cat's voice had become very old, as if a person was dying, with only the last breath left.

"Is this possible?"

"After consolidating, don't touch the water for seven days. If you keep being nourished by your spiritual energy, you can keep the entity."

Jiang He snorted, and didn't ask any further questions. Just as he was about to draw, the black cat said, "You don't have to draw exactly the same. Thousands of years have passed. If there is a new life, it must be completely reborn and forget the past."

Jiang He and Xiao Gu looked at each other, both a little confused about the situation.According to the black cat, this cat spirit has a lot to do with it. If so, let's follow its meaning.

Jiang He was familiar with drawing animals, and he quickly finished drawing a fluffy and chubby three-flowered little milk cat.The black cat asked Jiang He to let it out again. It walked up to the cat spirit and whispered a few words to it. The cat spirit was a little bit reluctant to touch the cat teaser that he had never touched. He turned around after three steps, and finally jumped on the cat with the black cat. table.

A blinding light flashed, and there was only one black cat left on the table. It glanced at Jiang He. There was sadness in its eyes, but also unwillingness to lose. All emotions disappeared in the blink of an eye. The cat's eyes were ethereal and pure. same.

"Meow!"

This time Jiang He saw it with his own eyes. The black cat blew on the painting, and the faint phantom floated up. When it landed, a three-flowered kitten rolled and stood up tremblingly. After looking around, he went to grab the cat teasing stick he was thinking of.

It feels like a dream.Jiang He is a little bit flustered, he has a cat easily, if the painting is about money...

"Although you lied to me, I also made you suffer, so it's even." The black cat interrupted Jiang He's fantasy.

Jiang He argued, "Where did I lie to you?"

The black cat resented: "You can understand me clearly."

Jiang He really thinks that the black cat is too narrow-minded. It can understand its own words. It caused him to overturn and get injured, and even blows away the cat he drew. Maybe turning the cat into a real body also took advantage of the aura of the mountain god stone in his body. Where can we get even?

The black cat is lying on the table, and under it is the paper on which Jiang He drew the cat just now, as if it is greedy for the temperature and smell of the paper, the black cat's eyes become a little distant: "1000 years ago, someone also drew a picture , I have a place to live again..."
