Chapter 6: The Bizarre Human-Faced Cat (9)

  Du Wei was stunned by the beauty and didn't react. Old man Ouyang nodded and said to me and Du Wei, "This is my granddaughter, Yin Yue." After that, Old man Ouyang took Yin Yue and walked towards the house opposite us.

  Yin Yue? Could it be that this is a descendant of the Yin family who set fire?

  After a long time, Du Wei slowly opened his mouth and said: "Luo Ze, actually... there's something I've been hiding from you!"

  I took a look at him, and this guy was acting like a big girl, his two hands rubbing quickly.

  "Say it quickly if there's something!" I said, lifting the quilt to take a look at Lao Cong's wound. The wound was festering at an alarming rate, and the stench was getting stronger and stronger.

  "Come with me!" Du Wei said, pulling me out the door without explanation. Outside, the sun was blazing fiercely. I looked at Du Wei in confusion as he slowly walked back into the courtyard, then picked up a pickaxe and swung it with force. The pickaxe landed heavily on the cement, making a loud "crack" sound. The cement below shattered into two pieces, revealing a dark object in front of us.

  Isn't there something hidden here? I was even more surprised, and Du Wei was already sweating profusely at this time. He put down the pickaxe in his hand and slowly moved the broken cement board away, and the black object in front of him became clearer and clearer. After he removed all the cement boards, the black object finally came into view.

  It was a box full of rust, with an exquisite lock on it, which gave me a sense of déjà vu. However, at this moment I was more concerned about what was hidden inside the box.

  Suddenly, a loud and coarse voice came from beside my ear, the sound was like a broken trumpet, piercing through my eardrum.

  "Dead monkey, I'm here, you bastard didn't even come out to greet me!"

  I and Du Wei looked at each other in surprise, then hastily turned our heads back to look down the road we had come from.

  Only one person with a sturdy build, a face full of horizontal flesh, and a beard that reached his temples, with eyes like bronze bells, was holding a green woven bag in his hand, muttering to himself as he walked quickly towards them. At this moment, the door of the flat house was also pushed open, and out came Old Man Ouyang, wearing his shoes on the wrong feet, followed by that girl named Yin Yue. Old Man Ouyang's face was full of smiles, and his originally small eyes were almost narrowed to a thin slit.

  "I'm so angry I could kill a dog! I thought you old man had died in some remote mountain valley!"

  As soon as Old Ou Yang spoke, I suddenly realized that this person was actually the fellow villager "Air-Killing Dog" who had been bitten by a man-faced cat but still managed to escape unscathed.

  "Dead Monkey, how many years has it been? You still remember this nickname." "Killed Dog" Uncle spoke as he walked to our side, glanced at us, and then shook hands tightly with Old Man Ouyang. At this moment, I observed this legendary uncle more carefully. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy build, wearing a pair of green canvas shoes, with cloth strips wrapped tightly around his ankles. If calculated by Old Man Ouyang's age, "Killed Dog" Uncle should also be over sixty years old, but surprisingly, he didn't have a single white hair, which made us somewhat astonished.

  The two old men shook hands and patted each other on the shoulder. "Gasping dog" uncle said: "Dead monkey, it's been so many years since we last met, you're still quite vigorous!"

  "Even if I die, I'll die after you."

  "Let's just drag it out then!" As he said this, "Air-Killing Dog" uncle's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he leaned in close to Old Man Ouyang's ear and whispered a couple of sentences. Afterwards, the two men walked hand-in-hand into the house. I hastily followed after them, and "Air-Killing Dog" uncle and Old Man Ouyang went into the room on the left side. Yin Yue and I also entered one after another. "Air-Killing Dog" uncle said: "That beast has come out to harm people again?"

  Ouyang Lao Die nodded and pointed to the room opposite, "Gasi Dog" Shu immediately came back to life and said: "Girl, you go stew this thing."
