The kitten is meowing at me right now. I can't understand what it's saying, but I can sense that it's a little wary of me.
I looked outside, and it was already dark. Even though I had brought the clock over, the outcome hadn't changed.
However, after nightfall, which should have been the beginning of the kitten's increased power, I did not feel any increase in power from the kitten. On the contrary, the kitten's power was constantly weakening.
What's going on?!
For a moment, I was a little confused. After all, I had verified last night that Yiyi's power was strongest at night, but now it had completely reversed. I felt something was wrong.
However, in my daze, I suddenly realized that there was also a problem with my grandmother!
My grandma seems much weaker than before.
Previously, her skin was wheat-colored, but now it's a pale, almost white color, like a wall.
It looked completely bloodless.
"Alright, my good grandson, come here quickly!"
My grandma opened her mouth and looked at me with gentle eyes, but I noticed that this time the way she addressed me had changed.
Previously, this old lady called me by my nickname, because that's what my grandfather used to call me.
But now he's become a dutiful grandson. Although his eyes and tone are very gentle, the problem is that my grandfather has never been this obedient before.
A person's habits can never be changed.
So either the old lady has been replaced, or the old lady has developed a problem and has been affected by the environment.
"It seems I'm still trapped in the Beast God's test!"
When I saw this, I took a deep breath. I felt very uneasy. If I'm not mistaken, I should still be undergoing the test of the Beast God.
If I fail this test, there will only be one outcome for me: I will be trapped in this godforsaken place forever.
If that's the case, they might as well just kill me. I'd rather die than be trapped like this for the rest of my life.
"Come here, my dear grandson, Grandma has something to say!" My grandma's tone was still so gentle, and I was a little dazed after hearing it.
I always feel like I really have such a grandmother.
I couldn't help but walk over, while the cat next to me was meowing and shaking its head, as if warning me not to go over.
After the kitten's reminder, I broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped in my tracks.
"Oh right, Grandma, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go make you some food right away!"
Without saying a word, I prepared to cook for Grandma. It was afternoon when I arrived, and although not much time had passed since then…
But for the old lady, a whole afternoon had passed. Old people get hungry very quickly and simply couldn't endure it for that long.
"Yes, Grandma is starving. Your grandpa went out hunting and hasn't come back yet. There are still some leftovers from lunch in the kitchen. Could you heat them up for me?"
My grandmother was taken aback for a moment after hearing what I said, then she showed a kind expression, clearly showing that she liked me, her grandson, very much.
I breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the kitten again. I remembered where the kitchen was.
It's less of a kitchen and more of a separate stove outside; that's how people in the countryside cook.
I went straight to the stove, and sure enough, there were two dishes in the steamer basket. I opened the steamer basket and felt a little nauseous.
These two dishes were supposed to be green vegetables and pumpkin, but what I saw was a green paste and a yellow paste.
One plate of mushy food looked a bit like vomit, while the other plate of mushy food smelled exactly like feces.
I almost threw up when I saw this.
I thought it was disgusting, but I never imagined it would be this disgusting. If I were to eat it, I'd probably die instantly.
"My dear grandson, Grandma missed you so much while you were gone! Do you see that pig? You just got back, let's slaughter it in a bit!"
I was just about to start a fire to cook when my grandma's voice came again. I looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a little pig in our pigsty.
I was stunned for a moment. In my memory, my family did have a pigsty, but the only difference was that I had never raised pigs when I was a child.
It's my grandfather's dog.
And most importantly, those dogs existed when I was very, very young.
When I arrived at this place, I searched for it but found nothing. There wasn't even a trace of a dog here, let alone one.
"You want me to kill this pig?"
I was stunned after hearing that. When I was little, I never touched anything bloody.
Although my grandmother is fictional, he should know this.
"Yes, my dear grandson, if you kill this pig, you'll be able to see your grandfather!"
My grandma gave me another weird look, and I couldn't help but take two steps back. This was just too scary!
Now it's completely dark, and with the candles burning, my grandmother looks quite terrifying, like a ghost.
The kitten in my arms was struggling and trying to get closer to me.
I focused my attention on the pig, which was pure black and looked to weigh only about 130 pounds.
Normally, in rural areas, people can only eat pork during the Chinese New Year or other major holidays.
At that time, the pigs we slaughtered usually weighed over 200 jin (100 catties).
This pig weighs only a little over 130 jin (65 kg), and no matter how much you try to gather it up, it will definitely not meet the standards for slaughter.
"My dear grandson, hurry up and kill that pig, Grandma wants to eat meat!"
My grandmother's voice kept rising in pitch, which gave me the creeps.
But for some reason, at this moment I have an urge to kill this pig.
Suddenly, the kitten shook its head at me, clearly signaling me to stop killing. Don't fall for this trick.
Seeing this made me instantly more alert, and my heart skipped a beat.
Thank goodness for this little kitten, otherwise I might have really fallen for it.
"Alright, my dear grandson, go and cook. When you're done, bring the food to Grandma. Go back to your room and rest now!"
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with me, my grandma stood up with a smile and walked towards my grandpa's room.
Only the kitten and I were left.
The kitten was still meowing there when I suddenly remembered that I still had the booklet in my backpack!
