"Where did this cat come from?"
Hua Yu probably looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but ask this question.
It's not like he hasn't seen this before. He was a little curious as to why this cat was so attached to her...
Thinking of the several big rats that appeared inexplicably in the yard some time ago, Hua Yu looked at her with a strange and cold look in her eyes.
Even after waking up from a broken head, he seemed like a different person, but his vicious and harmful heart remained unchanged...
Hua Shi bent down and picked up the black cat that was rubbing against her calf, touching its smooth fur and saying truthfully, "I picked it up from the mountains."
"Picked it up in the mountains?"
Hua Yu's hand, which was twisting the corner of her clothes, paused, unexpectedly.
But when I saw the black cat's plump flesh and smooth fur, I thought, if it was a wild cat from the mountains, it seemed reasonable...
He had seen wild cats hiding in the corners of the village roads. They seemed to have been burned by the village children. Their fur was mottled and bald in several places, revealing the bloody flesh underneath...
They can't find food, and they don't eat enough, so they are very thin and very shy. When a stranger approaches, they will warily extend their sharp claws...
Hua Shi looked at his surprised expression and her hand stroking his hair paused for a moment.
Thinking about what happened just now... Xie Mingchi was a little surprised when he heard her say that the cat was picked up from the mountains.
"Are the animals in these mountains not friendly to humans?" Hua Shi asked hesitantly.
Hua Yu looked at her again and agreed to her question.
Not only are they unfriendly, but some of the spiritual little animals raised in the mountains basically won't come down the mountain on their own initiative.
He had never heard of anyone in the village picking up wild cats and dogs from the mountains and keeping them around...
"Meow…?"
The black cat seemed to sense Hua Shi's frequent gazes on it. It called out in confusion, raised its head, and rubbed her neck.
Hua Shi patted its head, and the black cat lay back down obediently.
Hua Shi, who had never planned to keep a black cat by her side from the beginning, was a little surprised to hear this.
The villagers of Shoushan Village have a deeper understanding of their fear and faith in Lin Haishan...
"Let's go."
When Hua saw her, she was still standing there stupidly. He frowned, reminded her, and walked ahead.
The brother and sister walked one in front and one behind on the path in the field.
Hua Yu was very familiar with this area, and he turned into a small mountain road with ease and familiarity.
The further we walked, the wider the remote path became, and soon we turned out from the dense woods and bushes.
It was as if he had deliberately taken a detour to get here.
When he saw the small shrine not far away, Hua Shi was sure that his guess was correct.
Hua Yu took a detour to come here to worship the temple shrine.
It is said to be a mountain god temple, but in fact it is just a small house half a person's height, covered with dark blue tiles in a triangular shape. In front of the two-step high steps, there is an ash burner filled with burnt incense sticks.
Under Hua Shi's gaze, Hua Yu limped to the low temple shrine, clasped his hands together, raised them to his forehead, closed his eyes, bowed his head and bowed...
He simply bowed for a few seconds before standing up straight. He turned his head to look at the dazed Hua Shi and asked,
"Would you like to pay your respects?"
The tone was light, as if asking casually.
Hua Shi's gaze shifted from him to the temple shrine that didn't even have a statue, and asked,
“Do I have to pray for this?”
"As you please."
Unexpectedly, the boy raised the half of his face that was exposed nonchalantly, and it seemed that he did not believe in the legends of mountain gods and ghosts.
Hua Shi didn't say anything. He put the black cat and basket in his arms on the ground, walked forward, and imitated Hua Yu's just now, clasping his hands together and bowing.
Hua Yu stood by and watched silently, then his gaze slowly fell on the fat and strong-looking black cat.
"Meow……?"
The black cat seemed to notice his gaze as well. It flicked its tail behind it, tilted its head, and called out to him.
"Okay, let's go."
Hua Shi didn't notice his gaze at the cat, so she bent down and picked up the basket again, but this time she didn't hold the cat in her arms.
“Meow… meow?…”
The black cat was about to jump into her arms, but when it saw that she had no intention of hugging it, it stretched out its paw, placed its hand on hers, and called out twice in confusion.
Hua Shi nodded its head and said, "You don't know how heavy you are. My hands are sore from holding you. Just walk on your own."
"Meow……"
The black cat didn't know if it understood the disgust in Hua Shi's tone, and called out in dissatisfaction.
Hua Yu saw this scene, but did not say a word and walked in front silently.
For the rest of the journey, Hua Shi didn't speak, and Hua Yu didn't take the initiative to talk either. The atmosphere was strangely silent all the way.
Hua Shi's attention would from time to time be attracted by Hua Yu's exposed ankles. At the ankle of her left foot, there was a large protrusion of bone, causing the entire foot to twist back strangely.
It was also this area that caused him to walk with one foot high and one foot low, limping, his shaky and tilted steps, rustling against the ground, and the steep and undulating mountain path...
I looked at the flowers several times and was a little scared.
She insisted on coming out and following him today, on the one hand because she was worried that the trap she set would be useless, and on the other hand she was a little worried about Hua Yu going up the mountain alone to hunt.
Hua Yu herself was not very agile on her feet, so if the trap she set yielded results, it would be fine if it was just one or two prey, but if there were more, Hua Yu wouldn't be able to catch them all.
As her thoughts wandered, she turned left and right, and finally passed through a large grove of trees and arrived at the place where Hua Yu had set the trap...
