Chapter 105 Cat's Eye
This time when she came to the cemetery, Xia Lili was already familiar with the place and was not afraid at all.
This time, Grandma Zheng turned on the lights in the management office and waited for her. When she saw Xia Lili's car coming, she waved.
Xia Lili felt warm in her heart when she saw the warm yellow light in the management office.
Grandma Zheng ran out to pick up the takeaway and even stuffed a box of Ferrero chocolates into Xia Lili's hands.
"This was sent by my grandson. I can't eat it, so you can take it."
Xia Lili was flattered, but she knew that this was just an excuse for Grandma Zheng to give her snacks.
She looked up at Granny Zheng and was about to thank her when her sight met Granny Zheng's old but sincere eyes. Xia Lili's vision suddenly became blurry.
That familiar feeling finally appeared again!
Xia Lili had a hallucination in her mind, exactly about Grandma Zheng!
In the hallucination, Granny Zheng was chasing a man on the mountain, shouting as she chased him: "You wicked thing, you actually stole the tribute!"
The man ran very fast, and only his back was visible. He was wearing a whitish gray jacket that looked like a factory work uniform, and popular green safety shoes on his feet.
"Hurry up and return the things, then kowtow and apologize to the tomb owner!"
Obviously, although Grandma Zheng was in good health, she was unable to catch up with the man due to the huge age gap.
Grandma Zheng was so out of breath that she kept stamping her feet. She didn't pay attention to the road under her feet. During the chase, she accidentally fell and rolled down the mountain. Her body hit a big tree and she couldn't get up immediately.
Xia Lili felt distressed when she saw this hallucination. Could it be that this lovely old lady who said she had a strong life would die because of this accident?
The hallucination came to the next scene. Grandma Zheng was lying on the ground, calmly took out her cell phone, and made a call with ease.
"Chen Guifu, are you patrolling the mountains?"
"Someone stole the tribute on the mountain and ran off to the graveyard in the east. If you come across him, catch him and I'll give him a good beating!"
"By the way, call an ambulance for me. I think I fell and hurt my waist."
…
Grandma Zheng was carried down the mountain on a stretcher by the rescue team.
The final scene of the hallucination was in the hospital.
Grandma Zheng was lying on the hospital bed, with her left elbow and left knee wrapped in bandages, and she no longer looked as lively as before.
The hallucination ended here, and Xia Lili's vision returned to clear.
The scene suddenly stopped. Xia Lili was a little confused. Is this it?
At the same time, Xia Lili also breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandma Zheng did not die in the hallucination. Although it was unlucky, it was still much better than the unfortunate person who died directly.
This unfortunate incident of injuring arms and legs seems similar to the incident of the black-hearted landlord Uncle Liu who broke his leg earlier.
Since there was no murder involved and no criminal suspects appeared, Xia Lili could only give more advice and a few reminders.
These unfortunate people are not her puppets, and she cannot control them by her own ability.
As I said, there is nothing I can do if you don’t listen to advice.
The way Xia Lili was staring at people at this moment made Granny Zheng's scalp tingle: "Xiao Xia, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xia Lili leaned forward slightly and said in a serious tone, "Grandma Zheng, I also have some research in numerology."
"According to your birth date, Mercury is currently in retrograde, causing conflict in your life palace. Especially in the next few days, you should avoid running or chasing in the mountains and forests, otherwise you may be prone to bloody disasters, with minor injuries to your muscles and bones, and more serious consequences..."
Xia Lili sighed at this point. "Anyway, if you run into any thieves trying to steal tribute again these days, don't chase them down."
Granny Zheng was skeptical: "How do you know my birthday?"
Xia Lili's expression was enigmatic. "I calculated it. Zheng Cuifang, the fifth day of the eighth lunar month in 1968."
In fact, she checked Grandma Zheng's file at the police station and didn't expect it to be useful now.
Granny Zheng's expression changed when she looked at Xia Lili. "Oh my god, you're so young and you really understand all this!"
Xia Lili didn't look like someone who would joke around casually or scare people. Granny Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be careful. My health comes first."
Xia Lili felt much more at ease when she saw that Grandma Zheng listened to her advice.
Out of caution, Xia Lili asked another question.
"Mrs. Zheng, do you know Chen Guifu?"
Granny Zheng nodded. "Yes, I know him. He's the forest fire prevention officer for our mountain. He patrols regularly."
Xia Lili understood that with such burnings, the relatives of the deceased would still secretly burn paper and incense, which could easily cause forest fires. Setting up forest fire prevention personnel to conduct regular patrols could prevent such incidents from happening.
"I still have some orders, I'm leaving first!"
“Thank you for the chocolates!”
Xia Lili rode away on her electric scooter.
The next day, Xia Lili still attended martial arts classes as usual and delivered takeout during peak hours.
Perhaps because of the recent food delivery wars among various platforms, there are a lot of orders tonight, and many of them are orders that come along the way. Xia Lili delivered the last order at 11:50 p.m.
She rode a small electric scooter through the urban village.
The address for the last order of milk tea was a bit hard to find. Xia Lili had to turn around and around in the alleys before she found "Fuyuan Village Unit 5, Building A."
After climbing up to the fourth floor, Xia Lili rang the doorbell: "Hello, takeout."
Nowadays, the doors of many rental houses are generally made of thin materials and have poor sound insulation.
Xia Lili could clearly hear footsteps coming from inside the door. The footsteps stopped at the door. The other party should be looking through the peephole.
After a while, a short-haired girl in long-sleeved pajamas opened the door. She stood barefoot on the ground, took the takeaway bag from Xia Lili's hand and said "thank you".
At this moment, a furry object suddenly squeezed out from the crack of the door and rushed into the corridor.
Xia Lili looked closely and found that it was a little kitten jumping out from the crack of the door.
The girl called out anxiously: "Keke, come back soon!"
Xia Lili, who was outside the door, was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She caught the kitten and brought it back.
The caught kitten meowed a few times, its eyes clear and innocent.
"Thank you!"
The short-haired girl took the cat from Xia Lili's hand, looked at her and said thank you.
Xia Lili was about to say you're welcome, but when her eyes met the girl's, her eyes suddenly felt dizzy.
I'm hallucinating again!
In the hallucination, only the computer screen emitted a pale light in the dim room.
The short-haired girl rubbed her eyes tiredly, and the sound of typing on the keyboard was particularly harsh in the quiet midnight.
The alarm clock next to the computer ticked: 00:25.
Suddenly, "Ding Dong-Ding Dong-"
The doorbell rang, each one more urgent than the last, breaking the silence.
The girl's head snapped up, her slippers clacking frantically on the floor.
Out of caution, she did not open the door immediately. She stopped in front of the door, holding her breath, ready to look through the peephole on the door to check what was happening outside.
The moment her right eye met the cat's eye, the cold metallic reflection magnified in her pupil—
“Crack!”
Outside the door, a steel bar penetrated the cat's eye directly and pierced the girl's head unexpectedly!
