"Director Lu, is there anything else wrong?" Xu Zhian looked at Director Lu curiously, "Has the rat spirit been driven out of my brother's body?"
"The rat spirit has indeed run away, but Pindao was careless and allowed him to escape. I'm afraid that after Pindao leaves, he will come back unwillingly." Director Lu said solemnly.
"Ah? Director Lu, what should we do?"
"It doesn't matter. Fortunately, Pindao made some extra preparations before letting you buy a black cat.
Cats are the natural enemies of rats, and black cats are used to ward off ghosts and evil spirits. If you kill the black cat and sprinkle its blood on the door and windows, the rat spirit will not dare to come in again.
This rat spirit only has one chance. As long as tonight passes, he will not be able to enter your room. When the rooster crows tomorrow morning, your brother's misfortune will be over. "
Xu Zhian looked at the black cat sleeping in the cage, nodded and said, "Okay, Director Lu, I understand."
Then Xu Zhian remembered something again, ran to the cabinet in the house, took out a thick envelope, and handed it to Director Lu.
"Director Lu, this is the remaining balance. Click to see if the number is correct."
Director Lu took the envelope and stuffed it into his backpack without looking at it. He turned around and waved his hand, "You don't need to read it. I'm here to save people. How much you give is up to you. Sincerity is what you want." spirit."
"Director Lu, let me see you off." Looking at Director Lu's back, Xu Zhi'an hurriedly chased after him.
However, when he reached the top of the stairs, Director Lu refused to let Xu Zhi'an continue. "Go back and prepare the black cat's blood. You don't know when the rat spirit will come back. Don't let him take advantage of the opportunity."
"Okay, thank you, Director Lu." Xu Zhi'an bowed to Director Lu's back.
After watching Director Lu go down the stairs, Xu Zhian hurried back to the room.
"Axing, how are you feeling now? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Xu Zhixing shook his head, "I don't feel anything else, I just feel a little tired."
"After so many days of hard work, Director Lu just started the practice again. It's normal to be tired." Xu Zhi'an patted his brother on the shoulder, "You go to bed and rest first. I'll kill that black cat."
"Sister, you can't even bear to kill fish while cooking. Can you do this with this black cat?" Xu Zhixing asked.
"It doesn't matter, just go and rest quickly, I'll do it." Xu Zhian urged his brother.
Seeing the calm look on his sister's face, Xu Zhixing thought that his sister was really not afraid now. He nodded and returned to the bed. The rat spirit had just used his body to fight with Lu Daochang for a long time, and now his whole body was sore. Xu Zhixing was sore as soon as he got on the bed. Fell asleep.
Seeing his brother's face come back again, Xu Zhi'an's depressed mood these days finally got better.
But now Xu Zhian is facing a new problem, and that is this black cat.
Although he appeared extremely confident in front of his younger brother, Xu Zhian was just pretending to be calm.
Her brother was right, she really didn't dare to do these things. Even when she first learned to cook, she didn't dare to touch the chickens, ducks and fish that others had killed at the vegetable market.
Later, she managed to slowly kill fish and chickens by herself, but for a big creature like a cat, it was really a huge challenge for her, even more difficult than her own college entrance examination.
After hesitating for a long time, he remembered what Director Lu said about time being tight, and Xu Zhi'an did not dare to delay any longer, so he walked out of the room carrying the cage with the cat in it.
When he walked outside the room, Wu Guizhi happened to be waiting outside. When he saw Xu Zhi'an coming out, he quickly went up and asked, "How is Xiao Xu? Did Master Lu's method succeed?"
Xu Zhian nodded: "Success, the rat spirit has been driven out of Ah Xing's body."
"Oh, that's great. Ah Xing won't have to suffer now." Wu Guizhi also patted her chest happily.
"That is to say, Aunt Wu, you have also been troublesome during this time." Xu Zhian said softly.
"One family doesn't speak the same language. I have watched you and Ah Xing grow up. I will definitely be worried about what happens to him." Wu Guizhi waved her hand and looked at the black cat in Xu Zhian's hand, "Since Now that the rat spirit has been driven away, what use does this black cat have?"
"Director Lu asked me to kill the black cat and sprinkle its blood on the door and windows to prevent the rat spirit from coming back again," Xu Zhian explained.
"Kill a cat?" Wu Guizhi was stunned and looked at Xu Zhian, "Xiao Xu, I remember that you seemed to be scared to kill a chicken, right? This cat..."
Xu Zhi'an was a little helpless, "This is Director Lu's order, otherwise it will be troublesome if the black cat comes back. Although I haven't killed it, I think it is not much different from killing a chicken."
"That's far from it." Wu Guizhi shook her head, "Well, give me the cage and I'll kill it for you."
"Ah, Aunt Wu, this, this is not good."
"What's the good thing? Killing a cat is not a big deal."
Wu Guizhi said and took the cat cage from Xu Zhian's hand, "You go back and take care of Ah Xing first. I will kill the cat in a while and squeeze out the blood and bring it to you."
Xu Zhian nodded, "Okay, thank you Aunt Wu."
Wu Guizhi waved her hand and returned to the room with the cat carrier.
"Sure enough, it is in this old-fashioned tube building that the human touch between neighbors can be found." Su Ran sighed from the rooftop.
"I didn't see the human touch, but I saw something was wrong with Wu Guizhi." Qin Shoumo commented.
Su Ran was stunned, "How do you say that?"
"There is something wrong with her eyes and expression. She is too guilty." Qin Shoumo squinted his eyes, "There must be something wrong with this woman."
After finishing speaking, Qin Shoumo snapped his fingers, and the scene in Wu Guizhi's home instantly appeared in front of the three of them.
After returning home with the black cat, Wu Guizhi first closed the window near the corridor, then looked back at her son who was reading a comic book on the bed, picked up a knife on the table, and stabbed the black cat directly. on the head.
The sleeping black cat died before he could react.
But then Wu Guizhi did not squeeze out the blood from the black cat. Instead, he put the black cat and the cage into a cupboard to hide, and then took out a basin of blood that had been prepared long ago from the cupboard.
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, "No, what are you doing? Isn't this neighbor quite reliable? I agreed that I would watch the two siblings grow up, and that's how you see them?"
"Look, this is about knowing people but not their hearts. People's hearts are sinister." Qin Shoumo clicked his tongue.
"What kind of blood is this?" Su Ran asked curiously.
Qin Shoumo squinted and said, "Chicken blood."
"Can you see this?" Su Ran was stunned.
"Look, young people really have no life experience at all. Brother, I can tell what it is at a glance. You can't do it, young man." Qin Shoumo said proudly.
Su Ran rolled her eyes, "What kind of life skill is blood? Don't you have some perverted tendencies?"
"I have such a noble personality, but you still doubt me. It's too vicious, woman." Qin Shoumo felt heartbroken, "You have become so dark these days."
Su Ran snorted coldly and ignored Qin Shoumo.
"What's the point of spilling chicken blood at the door?"
"That's hard to say. Theoretically speaking, it's useless. But speaking of metaphysics, it can attract some unclean things." Qin Shoumo looked at Wu Guizhi who walked out of the house below, "Anyway , this woman has some evil intentions."
"Xiao Xu, come out and pick me up."
Hearing Wu Guizhi's voice outside the house, Xu Zhian quickly opened the door to the room. Suddenly, there was a huge fishy smell that almost made her vomit out her dinner.
"Hey, isn't the smell too fishy? I've forgotten about the fishy thing." Seeing Xu Zhian's reaction, Wu Guizhi quickly took the basin further away.
Xu Zhi'an waved his hand and squatted on the spot for a while. He felt that he was getting used to it a little before he stood up. "It's okay, Aunt Wu. It's the first time I smell this smell. I'm a little bit uncomfortable with it."
After saying that, Xu Zhi'an looked at the basin of red blood. The thick blood and the pungent smell suddenly irritated Xu Zhi'an. She couldn't hold it back anymore and hurried to the trash can and vomited.
After vomiting for a while, Xu Zhian felt that he had vomited out almost everything he had eaten at night, and then he felt a little better.
Standing up while holding on to the wall, Xu Zhian forced himself to stare at the basin of blood a few more times. Although he still felt like vomiting, he couldn't vomit anything this time and just retched a few times on the spot.
"Are you feeling better?" Wu Guizhi looked worried at Xu Zhian's reaction.
Xu Zhi'an endured a little discomfort and nodded, "I'm fine, Aunt Wu, please give it to me."
Wu Guizhi shook her head, "Forget it, your lips are turning white. Don't touch them. I'll do it."
"Ah, Aunt Wu, I can do it. You just killed the cat for me and bled it. I will do the rest. This is too troublesome for you." Xu Zhian said a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, what's the big deal? Don't you and Ah Xing often take Quanquan out to play? This also helps me a lot. As neighbors, we should help each other."
As Wu Guizhi said this, she began to pour the blood in the basin onto the ground at the door, "Stand back, don't let it splash on you."
Xu Zhi'an obediently retreated into the house, while Wu Guizhi held the basin and gently circled it around on the ground. After most of the blood in the basin was reduced, Wu Guizhi entered the house again carrying the basin.
"Aunt Wu, you need to find a tool to spill blood on the window, otherwise it will splash everywhere." Xu Zhian looked at the windows on the wall and began to look for any suitable tools in the house.
"No need to go to so much trouble, just get started. There's nothing dirty about blood."
As Wu Guizhi said this, she put her hand into the basin, covered it with blood, and wiped it on the window in the room.
Xu Zhi'an's eyes turned red when he saw Wu Guizhi laboriously wiping the blood on the window because she was afraid of blood.
Ever since she grew up and became sensible, Aunt Wu next door has taken care of her disabled son by herself, and also helped herself and her younger brother.
If it weren't for Aunt Wu who lived next door, I and my brother would never have had such an easy life over the years. Even now that I have grown up and can do many things by myself, Aunt Wu is still putting her own spin on it. He and his brother were cared for like children.
Although there were only four windows in the room, it took a lot of time to smear every corner of the windows with blood. It took almost an hour by the time it was all done.
"Aunt Wu, it's already past eleven o'clock. You should go back and have a rest. I won't be able to find you in a while, so you should be worried."
Looking at Wu Guizhi who was already sweating from exhaustion, Xu Zhian quickly handed her a towel.
Wu Guizhi took the towel and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She immediately reacted and looked at the towel and said, "Hey, my hands are still stained with blood, Xiao Xu. This towel is stained."
"It's okay, it's okay. Leave Aunt Wu alone. I'll just wash up later." Xu Zhian said quickly.
Wu Guizhi nodded and handed the towel to Xu Zhian, "Okay, it's almost done. There are no more dead ends, so I'll go back first. You've been tired for the whole day, so you should rest early."
"Okay Aunt Wu."
Xu Zhi'an saw Wu Guizhi out of the house. After watching Wu Guizhi return home, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and entered the room.
But Xu Zhian didn't know that after Wu Guizhi entered the room, he put the basin on the floor and sat on the stool for a long time, with a look of guilt on his face.
