15 Chapter 15: Death and Rebirth
◎It’s over, I’m going to die◎
Things in this world, one second slower, one second faster, even a slight change within one second, can produce earth-shaking results.
Wang Zi was one second slow, and Wu Yahua was two seconds fast, so the two of them missed each other.
Wu Yahua successfully escaped through the hole in the screen window. Wang Zi pounced on it, but failed to catch a single hair. She watched the cat run away.
The angriest person was He Mei. The cat caught her and ran away. Before running away, she was bitten on the tiger's mouth. She kept rubbing the bite wound.
It hurts so much.
Wang Zi: "Master, is this cat crazy? It even bit you. Why don't you go to the hospital and get a rabies shot?"
"Why are you hitting him?" He Mei was furious. "My father is a lunatic, and I'm afraid of a mad cat?"
Even if it's a mad cat or a mad person fighting poison with poison, the negative will be offset by the positive.
He Mei: "It took a sleeping pill, so it can't get far. Let's go after it."
Wang Zi didn't even want to complain. What's a rest pill? It's just a small ball made of fruit-flavored bubble gum and chewing gum.
Before, other people said that He Mei was crazy and had a mental illness, but Wang Zi ignored them and thought they were talking nonsense. But the longer Wang Zi got along with He Mei, the more she realized that she was definitely an outlier among most people.
The more different she was, the more Wang Zi believed that she was the direct disciple of Taishang Laojun, the Immortal Tanhua.
"Why are you looking at me? I said go after him." He Mei had already stood up with her crutches.
Wang Zi let out two "ohs" sounds, then ran out the door with her crutches.
Ever since Wang Zi could remember, she knew that she was adopted by a grandparent. She was picked up at the door of a public toilet. She was so cold in her cradle that she couldn't even cry.
When she registered her household registration, her grandparents gave her a boy's name, Prince.
The staff member who handled her household registration mistakenly wrote "zi" as "zi", so she changed from "wang zi" to "wang zi".
From childhood to adulthood, Wang Zi has received very little love and care. Her grandparents are old, and they are willing to raise her, let her have food to eat, and keep her alive, which is already good enough.
If she hadn't been picked up, she would have died next to the smelly public toilet.
Wang Zi had poor academic performance and dropped out of school in the second year of junior high school to save tuition. She was bullied a lot in school and continued to be bullied after entering society.
Having been bullied all the way growing up, she has become accustomed to accepting everything and not resisting.
Until she was working as a waitress in a Korean restaurant and accidentally knocked over a pack of cigarettes that a customer had placed on the table. Although she picked up the cigarettes from the ground and apologized to the customer immediately, the customer, who had become arrogant due to drinking, pointed at Wang Zi and started cursing.
Wang Zi just listened, thinking that it would be over after the other party finished scolding her and she felt relieved.
It was at this time that He Mei appeared and slapped the customer who insulted Wang Zi on the back of the head.
"Fuck you..." The customer turned around and saw He Mei. Just as he cursed, He Mei slapped him with the second palm.
Wang Zi's eyes widened. This was the first time someone helped her since she was born.
The police arrived and He Mei got into the car of the mental hospital. Before the door was closed, she loudly announced that Wang Zi was hers and that anyone who dared to bully Wang Zi would have a problem with her, the Epiphyllum Immortal.
With the support of a "Epiphyllum Immortal Lord", Wang Zi was fired from the restaurant because she had a close relationship with a mentally ill patient and the restaurant owner was afraid that the mentally ill patient would cause trouble.
In addition to receiving her monthly salary, the restaurant owner also gave her an additional 500 yuan in compensation.
This made Wang Zi very happy. She had been fired from her job elsewhere and received only half of her salary. Now that someone like He Mei appeared in her life, not only did her salary not decrease by a cent, but she also received an extra bonus of 500 yuan.
She took the money and went to the mental hospital to visit He Mei, wanting to ask He Mei to be her godmother. He Mei said that their horoscopes were not compatible and they were not suitable to be mother and daughter.
"You don't even know my date of birth, how come you don't know that our horoscopes are incompatible?" Wang Zi was puzzled.
He Mei: "I am the direct disciple of Taishang Laojun, the Immortal Lord Tanhua. I can tell fortunes. You and I are not compatible. We can't be mother and daughter, but we can be master and apprentice. From now on, you will be my apprentice. When I achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, I will definitely give you benefits."
In this way, Wang Zi had a master.
No matter what the master said, Wang Zi firmly believed that it was right.
The master said that the cat was transformed from a human, Wang Zi believed it.
The master asked her to chase the cat. Even though she had sprained her ankle and had difficulty walking, she still rushed down from the sixth floor to chase the cat.
But the cat didn't fall from the sixth floor at all.
Wu Yahua followed the planned route, stepped onto the narrow platform through the hole in the screen window, and slipped into the neighbor's house to hide.
I hid there until my neighbor came home at night and found the kitten, soaking wet and shivering, in the corner of the bathroom.
The door opened and the kitten was thrown out.
Wu Yahua felt very uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because she accidentally fell into a bucket of water when she fled to her neighbor's house, and her hair got wet, causing her to catch a cold.
Maybe it was the sleeping pills that crazy woman He Mei fed him, and the medicine took effect.
Or maybe it was due to both of these factors, which caused the cat's entire body to feel heavy and its head to throb with pain, as if it had a high fever.
It would be great if I had a cell phone. I could call 120 immediately and send the patient to the hospital for treatment.
But Wu Yahua is now a cat and has no mobile phone. She can only rely on her tenacious will to walk back to the World University.
Xie Yun, who postponed his return to school for one day, will return to World University tomorrow.
She walked back to school now and would see Xie Yun tomorrow.
With this idea in mind, Wu Yahua walked and walked. Fortunately, it was night, there were few cars and people on the road, and some known and unknown dangers were greatly reduced.
But she is not a human after all.
It is no problem for a person to walk five kilometers, but she is now a sick cat. She has to drag her sick body five kilometers back to Shida, which is as difficult as going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Wu Yahua had never felt so tired before, not even when running 800 meters in physical education class or taking the physical test.
The cat felt heavy and had a headache.
Covered in a layer of moonlight, Wu Yahua walked and stopped, and finally reached the River of Love.
Traffic is coming and going on the King Kong Bridge over the river.
In her current physical condition, Wu Yahua didn't dare to cross the road on the bridge. If she was run over by a car, she would become a cat pancake.
She walked along the bank of the River of Love.
Every summer is the flood season of the river. Two years ago, an accident occurred in which a primary school student drowned while playing in the river. Since then, a raised fence has been built around the Youqing River to prevent people from entering the water and having accidents.
During the day, it is rare to see people along the banks of the Love River.
Wu Yahua stepped on the soft mud on the bank of Youqing River, leaving behind a series of plum-shaped cat paw prints.
It was a quiet night, the darkness was adorned with moonlight, and the ground was illuminated.
Wu Yahua became weaker and weaker as she walked, and her strength gradually drained away. She didn't want to stop, as she had a premonition that if she stopped, she would never be able to get up again.
"I can do it, come on." Wu Yahua encouraged herself, but she couldn't stop the weight under her feet from getting heavier.
Snap——
Wu Yahua fell down with a sound.
m
She tried to stand up again, but found that she had no strength left and cried out, "It's over, I'm going to die."
Before she died, the first person she cursed was He Mei.
This crazy woman has already lost her family, yet she still wants to do bad things. Only when she dies one day will the world be at peace.
After cursing He Mei, the person who popped up in Wu Yahua's mind was Xie Yun.
This guy went to participate in the competition and should have come back in four days, but he delayed his return by one day. Now you will never see me, the little kitten, again.
Xie Yun, will you be sad? Will you cry for my death? Will you regret not rushing back a day earlier to pick me up from Xiao Hei's home?
Goodbye Mom and Dad.
Goodbye Xie Yun.
Little cat, I'm going to die like this. I'll turn into a little cat ghost and haunt He Mei until the day she dies. She murdered the little cat and will be fried in a frying pan in hell after she dies...
@#$%*^&*
Before she could finish the curse, Wu Yahua's mind was filled with gibberish.
It was like the flickering snowy screen on a black and white TV.
Wu Yahua could clearly feel that she was still lying on the bank of the River of Love. She could hear the sound of flowing water and smell the scent of reeds, but her soul seemed to have come to a movie theater. She was the only one in the theater. The screen on the wall was showing pictures frame by frame.
The images went from blurry to clear.
There is a time on the lower left side of the screen, showing July 10, 2025.
Wu Yahua saw herself appear in the screen. It was the end of the final exam day. She went back to the dormitory to get her luggage, took the campus bus to the subway, and then took the high-speed rail home from the subway.
She saw that after she returned to the dormitory, she ran into Shen Xi who was about to go out.
The two men passed each other without saying a word, one walked out and the other walked into the dormitory.
Wu Yahua's dormitory was on the sixth floor. She climbed up to the sixth floor in one breath. It was the hot summer and she couldn't stand the heat. Before leaving, she poured half a cup of water from the water dispenser and drank it all.
Less than a minute after drinking the water, Wu Yahua was about to go out with her suitcase when she suddenly fell to the ground and instantly turned into a little cow cat.
That little cow cat is Wu Yahua.
The kitten staggered and walked unsteadily towards the door step by step.
Only then did Wu Yahua realize how she had turned into a cat.
There's definitely something wrong with the water.
Before she arrived at the dormitory, Shen Xi was already in the dormitory. She had a bad relationship with Shen Xi, so it was very likely that Shen Xi had drugged the water.
But this medicine is too weird. It’s not a drug that makes people dumb or blind, but a drug that turns people into kittens?
Wu Yahua was shocked and confused, unable to understand what was going on.
It's too fantastical and not real at all.
The curtain in front of me flashed, as if someone was tuning the frequency, switching from the channel about how Wu Yahua turned into a kitten to another channel.
Lin Yaonan appeared on the screen, and the time in the lower left corner was August 25, 2025.
Lin Yaonan was seen standing in front of the broken screen window, looking dejected and apologizing on the phone.
It's dark outside.
The house was not soundproof, and Wu Yahua could hear people talking downstairs through the window.
"I'm sorry, I went to work during the day and didn't take good care of the kitten. The kitten bit through the screen and ran away."
The scene turns to Xie Yun's face, he looks sad and like he is about to cry.
This made Wu Yahua's heart suddenly ache.
She reached out and wanted to touch Xie Yun's broken and painful face on the screen.
But unexpectedly, a huge suction force came from the screen, sucking Wu Yahua in, and the world shrank into a whirlpool.
Wu Yahua felt as if she was in a washing machine, being stirred like a piece of clothing.
“Help—”
Wu Yahua suddenly opened her eyes in fear.
Boom, boom, my heart beat two beats slower, briefly, and then recovered very quickly.
The first thing you see is a pink chandelier.
Such a familiar light.
Isn't this the rose lamp in my bedroom at home? It was bought by my mother at the lighting store when Wu Yahua was ten years old.
When Wu Yahua thought of it, her eyes went from half-closed to fully open.
The bedroom door was also pushed open at this time. Liu Mingjun walked in, came to Wu Yahua, took off the fever-reducing patch on her forehead, and touched her forehead with the back of his hand.
"Mom?" Wu Yahua couldn't believe that she would be able to see her mother after her death.
Liu Mingjun hummed, removed the back of his hand from Wu Yahua's forehead, and said, "The fever has subsided. Are you feeling better? Do you have an appetite for porridge? I made some."
