"You are born with yin and yang eyes, there is no way you can't see it." Bai Tian raised his eyebrows and stared into my eyes carefully. After a while, he took out a small box from his arms, which contained a milky paste.
I picked a little with my fingernail and applied it to my eyes. The burning pain made tears quickly fill my eyes.
But through my tears, I could clearly see that squatting on the beam was not my father, but a huge cat demon.
Dad was holding the fish bones in his hand, laughing at us, and licking his hands from time to time, as if there were hairs on them.
"Use your broom to sweep up the ashes under the stove and bring it to me."
I responded, quickly went to find the broom, and handed her the broom with ashes stuck on it as I said during the day.
Bai Tian took it in his hand and weighed it, then aimed it at Dad on the beam and hit it hard.
Dad let out a strange scream, and before he could dodge, he was hit directly to the ground by the broom.
I was startled and wanted to go up to see how he was doing. Dad suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran out of the house. By the time we chased him out, he had already disappeared.
"father……"
"Go and search nearby. The cat demon can't hide far."
I nodded and looked around the area with Bai Tian, but there was no trace of my father. Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Bai Tian stopped and said, "Let's call it a day. It's dark and it's not safe." "
The sky was dark and eerie, the surrounding air was so low that it was almost breathless, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky, and a heavy rain was about to come.
I kept searching, but Dad couldn't find it. He might have set himself up here first.
The two of us returned home first. There were not enough rooms at home, so we had to share a room with my grandma during the day.
Maybe I was just too tired, so I took a quick shower and fell asleep.
…
Heavy, so heavy that I could hardly breathe.
I struggled to open my eyes.
A flash of lightning outside the window instantly illuminated the entire room. My father, all dirty and lying on top of me, found that I was awake, and a strange smile appeared on his dark face.
I felt that the blood in my body had gone cold. After a while, I finally regained my composure, suddenly turned over and kicked my father out of bed.
"Ouch." He screamed strangely and jumped out of the window to run away, but was bounced back by an invisible force.
I don't know when I appeared behind my father during the day, and I took out a yellow talisman in my hand. When he turned around, I took the opportunity to stick it on his forehead.
Dad's body went limp and he fell limply to the ground.
Tian Tian helped him onto a chair and said, "Go to the kitchen and get a pair of chopsticks that your father often uses, as well as the thickest hemp rope in your house, and a rag for gagging."
I nodded quickly and gave him what I talked about during the day.
He tied his father tightly with a rope and blocked his mouth with a rag.
During the day, I took the chopsticks and clamped my father's middle finger hard.
The person who was still in a coma suddenly opened his eyes wide, his whole body was shaking violently, and he was struggling continuously.
A faint meow came into my ears, and the meow was particularly miserable.
During the day, he gritted his teeth, and a big kiss appeared on his forehead.
Dad suddenly raised his head, and all the seven orifices emitted a faint white smoke. The white smoke rushed towards the window quickly, and a bolt of lightning happened to hit the white smoke at this moment.
There was a shrill meow, and the white smoke dissipated in front of me.
I was dumbfounded by what happened in front of me.
Dad was completely unconscious. During the day, I checked his pulse. After making sure there was nothing wrong, we dragged him back to bed together.
"Your neck."
During the day, he pointed at my neck. When I touched it, I found it was sticky. When I looked down, I found a little blood.
When did you do it?
"It was probably the cat demon who drank your blood and essence while you were sleeping. Fortunately, he was struck to death by lightning, otherwise there would have been trouble."
Dad was lying on the bed, unconscious, and his whole body was dirty. I got a basin of water and gave him a simple cleanse. He didn't leave during the day, sitting on a chair and staring at my neck.
When I lowered my head, I discovered that the jade pendant I had worn since childhood was exposed.
"This piece of jade you have is pretty good, take it with you."
Bai Tian said these words to me meaningfully, then walked away, leaving me alone in confusion.
After wiping my father's body, I was too tired and fell asleep beside her. When I woke up, Bai Tian had left. She was like a mystery. She came and left without knowing why.
In the morning, I carried a basket on my back and went to the mountain behind the village, intending to dig some herbs and boil them for my father.
The mountains in the countryside have never been developed, and the trees growing there are more spiritual than those in big cities.
When I dug up the Schisandra chinensis from the soil, my left eye began to hurt violently, and a chill rose up from my back. There was no wind around, but the trees began to rustle.
I covered my eyes, not daring to stay where I was, and quickly turned around and ran away.
The faster I ran, the faster the sound of the trees around me started to move. My body became heavier and heavier. A cool breeze came from my neck, as if someone was sitting on my back.
But I didn't dare to look back, for fear that when I turned my head, I would face a pale face.
"Who is that! Ruiwazi, don't run forward!"
A familiar voice suddenly stopped me. When I heard it, wasn't it the voice of Aunt Wang in the village? I quickly stopped in my tracks.
The scene in front of me was slightly distorted, and my eyes no longer hurt so much. But when I saw the scene in front of me clearly, my feet almost gave out and I knelt on the ground on the spot.
The flat road ahead disappeared in an instant, and what appeared was a bottomless pool. Fortunately, Aunt Wang stopped me. If I had gone a little further, the consequences would have been disastrous.
I backed away slowly, not daring to breathe heavily. My whole back was wet and sticky.
Looking at my pale face and then at my back, Aunt Wang probably guessed something: "Ruiwazi, there are many of us. If you follow us down the mountain, you will be less likely to come to this mountain in the future. It will not be peaceful."
I nodded with a pale face.
There are wild fruits in the mountains, which are cheap and suitable for making snacks for children, so women often go up to the mountains in groups to pick them.
This time, I was lucky. Aunt Wang saw me running towards the cliff from a distance. She didn't trust me, so she followed me.
After following them down the mountain, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw a familiar house.
Dad was still asleep because he was weak, so I quickly packed the medicinal materials in the basket, boiled medicine for Dad to drink, and then made some medicinal wine to send to Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang.
By the time I went out, it was already dark outside. The old couple were afraid that it would be unsafe for me to go back, so they insisted on letting me sleep at their house overnight, but I was worried about my father at home, so I refused.
There are no street lights on the summer trail, which relies entirely on moonlight. There is no one around, and the occasional sound of frogs croaking from the pond makes the atmosphere even more eerie and eerie.
As I walked, I heard footsteps behind me.
I didn't dare to look back, I only dared to glance back secretly from the corner of my eyes. It was a girl in a white dress, walking slowly not far or near from me.
It's not too late now, and indeed many villagers like to take a walk at night.
