Chapter 8 Bite Ear

Chen blind man also accompanied Luo old crooked drink a lot of soju, a whole day to cross the mountains, this is tired, do not feel the wine on the upswing, but the heart is clear that there seems to be an oddity in the righteousness of the village, the more you think the more wrong, how dare you easily go to bed, and was about to instruct the mute Kunlun Mole to be careful to be on the alert, but a glance between the eyes, and suddenly saw the ground unexpectedly have a series of wet footprints, group of thieves into the house only after the beginning of the torrential rain poured, and during the time no one went out for half a step, so each of them has dry soles, and the soles of shoes. So everyone’s soles are dry.

Thinking of this, hastily raised his eyes to look at the door, still good end by the bolt from the inside of the top, there is no sign of opening, but in the case of no one noticed, this string of water stained footprints are not dry from where? His ear is very good, at this time also do not make a sound, listen carefully to the surrounding noise, jerked up, only to see the dim light of the oil lamp, a full body white old woman is crouching on the beams of the room to peer down.

Muddy water in the house has not dried footprints, seemingly disorganized, and fuzzy indistinguishable, can not see whereabouts to go, only to see the footprints of small, rather like the old days when women wrapped the small feet, is puzzled to hear the sorghum on the Xiesha sound, Chen Blind man was busy raising his head upward to watch, only to see sorghum on the fruit of a white figure, the light of the oil lamp in a trance, a glimpse of the time, but also like a full body of white white onyx of the old woman.

Blind man secretly surprised, thought: “This place is really evil!” Raise his hand, early will be “small God blade” thrown out, the rest of the few people see the thief Chen blind suddenly out of the blue, know that there is a change, each copy of the hidden guns and daggers, sent out a shout, all to the back of the house wall retreat, one side of the side of the side of the support, one side of the side of the head up to look at the situation on the beams of the house.

Groups of thieves usually live, are the days of licking blood from the head of a knife, at the moment the change is not chaotic, almost at the same time as the Chen blind man’s short knife hit, have each retreated to the wall, and fiercely listen to the “Tuo” a light sound, “small God blade” with a splash of cold poked in the wooden beams, did not get into the inches! Red girl will take the side of the leather lamp, lifted up a light, see the short knife is inserted in an ancient painting.

The painting has a number of hemp mourning old 媼 portrait, face wrinkles thickly covered, the demeanor drooping old, the face has a kind of indescribable weird expression, people look at it immediately disgusted, beside her was painted a piece of the remnants of the monument jagged graveyard, the picture hangs on the beams has not known how many years, the paper has now appeared to be a sign of the dampness of the dark yellow, but there is no what the dust spoiled dust fall on it.

Chen blind man just heard the commotion, immediately shot, want to preemptive strike, but did not expect the beams on the room is actually a bizarre portrait of an old woman, could not help but “eek” a sound, wondered: “but then again strange, how this will be hung in the righteousness of the white old lady’s god?” Then realized, yes, the original used to save the base of the broken temple, was once dedicated to the “white old lady”, the main hall was used to save the corpse, and the god was hung in the back of the house, this matter had also previously probed, but just now the incident suddenly, did not remember this matter, actually let the people a false alarm.

White old lady is a what deity who can not say clearly, only know before in the old bear ridge near, often worship her mountain people, even people outside the mountain, also often heard that the mountain of the stupid men and women, regardless of the old and young, all have to worship her, but now the incense early end of many years, the blind man scolded: “look at this old pig dog’s portrait seems to be evil and unorthodox, to stay unlucky, the mute you go to take down the painting and burned! ……”

Did not wait to order finished, suddenly heard a cat call, there is a flower skin old cat from the beam to probe out half of the body, eyes gleaming, looking at the door behind the rat two nuns of the body to see God, it turned out that this righteousness of the village in recent days unattended, often wild cats to come in to steal food, the bitter and no food, hungry cats want to nibble on the dead flesh, but let the coffin board blocked, cat claws scratching the middle of the night had not scratched, just now the thunderstorms, the old cat took advantage of this opportunity to sneak in from the cracks in the door, the group of robbers only focus on listening to Luo Laojiao, the old man is a good person. Groups of thieves are only concerned about listening to the old crooked Luo talk about things to catch the corpse, did not pay attention to the subtle movements of the old cat, it hides in the beam was Chen blind noticed, flying knife hit the wooden beams of the portrait, immediately startled it out.

Chen blind secretly said: “shame, think I live in a group of thieves leader, how many rivers and oceans of thieves, ocean thieves, have to honor me as a head, Yuanliang, do not want to be an old cat bluffed tonight.”

Luo Lao crooked and other people initially thought that either haunted or demon, is ready to fight, but see is a sneaky old cat, are long a breath of air, laugh and curse a few sentences, on the guarded heart also put down, put away the guy back to sit down, all the people hold their own identity, who do not want to go to pay attention to an old cat.

Who knows that the old cat saw the rat two nuns that look like a rat’s face, the more you look more like a rat, really will be dead as a rat, the old cat is missing a leg, three cat feet hobbling slipped down the beams, the two cat eyes thieves Thee Ruoxi survey of the female corpse, not at all will be the rest of the people in the house in the eyes.

Chen blind man and others are not good, where will know the crippled cat in the heart of what calculations, it is estimated that it revealed its whereabouts, to escape from the doorway again, they also do not care to look at it, Chen blind man let the flower ant crutch riding on the neck of the mute, go to pull the short knife nailed to the beams of the house, “small God blade”, he was with the old crooked Luo said some words of a scene, said he was looking at the portrait of the The odd abnormal, is to give it a knife, broken the ancient painting of the evil, and this cat has nothing to do with the break.

At this time, suddenly heard the red girl angrily shouted: “Thief cat, bold!” The crowd hurriedly turned to look, the lame old cat, is squatting on the shoulder of the dead body of the rat two nuns, a mouthful of meat biting the cheeks of the dead, it sees the rat two nuns look like a mouse, will come over to nibble and bite, the corpse’s face already has a piece of meat was gnawed by it to go, due to the deceased just died not long after the body of the arsenic has not yet been thoroughly dispersed into the whole body, so there is no zombie face poison, or else a bite, this three-legged crippled cat has been poisoned to death! The.

Chen blind man was furious, cursing: “Thief break cat! So as, really is looking for death ……” At this time he was in the hands of the “small God Feng” has not been recovered, had to grab the Luo Lao crooked waist inserted in the revolver, but has never practiced gun law, know that it is difficult to shoot to hit, and then swung the gun in the past! Three-legged crippled cat smashed, Luo Lao crooked that revolver is the United States goods, extremely valuable, see Chen blind man took as a chain smashed cat, one is not able to give up the gun, the second is afraid of Chen blind man went off the fire, and hastened to reach out to persuade him to rest his anger.

Chen blind man is very high self-esteem, how to tolerate the lame cat again and again, again and again in front of their own do play, shook off the Luo old crooked, straight to the lame cat will hit the past, but the lame cat is an extremely treacherous and slippery old cat, there may be a few points of the road, do not show the slightest fear of the intention, but instead of Chen blind man bared his cat teeth, and then turned his head and bit off the ears of the rats two nuns, a mouthful of the whole ear tore down, holding in the mouth, and then turned over and fled, the dead body from the dead body will leap down to the ground. From the dead body will leap down, a smoke like drilling into the doorway under the openings, disappeared into the black rain outside the house, swiftly far away.

Although the old cat is missing a foot, but the action slippery tricky change, in an instant will be “teeth, biting ears, turn his head and leap out, drilling doorway to escape” this several actions in one go, although blind man Chen shot fast, but ultimately from it has a distance of a few paces, actually did not touch it half a hair.

Luo old crooked although hot-tempered, usually kill people without blinking, but not as lonely as Chen blind man, think the old cat bit the female corpse a few pieces of meat, it will drive away is, here in addition to the marshal is a thief kui, are black and white on the number of characters, can not afford to go through with only three-legged crippled cats; In addition, due to the narrowness of the house, the red girl is the rest of the people blocked in the inside, although she has a mind to go to catch the old cat, but was blocked in the house; and mute Quinlun Molle, although the mute Quinlun Molle, the mute Quinlun Molle was not able to touch it half of a hair. And mute Kunlun Mole and flower ant crutch, is stacking the ladder to take the short knife on the beam, so Chen blind man shot down, the crowd had to look at the three-legged old cat took the dead man’s ear, a limp among the escape far.

According to this matter in other people also just, can be provoked by Chen blind “anger from the heart, the evil side of life”, since he came out of the world, easy to do a thief leader, leading the world to unload the Ling group of thieves, digging a lot of tombs and mounds, how many great things to operate, and no one time to fall through, so that he was a bit empty-handed, a gun did not hit the crippled cat can not bear, in the Luo Lao crooked and his men in front of the loss of hand more intolerable.

Annoyed and ashamed, a nameless evil fire arose, he moved to kill, want to kill the cat to vent his hatred, see the three-legged crippled cat far away, the heart is a violent flash of thought, unloading the Ling group of thieves has always been self-proclaimed “theft does not leave the road”, on the bodies of princes and nobles rubbing the bones of the ash, but some poor people’s corpses are extremely respectful, encountered the road down the poor people who died violently The poor people who died violently on the road, we have to pay for the burial, although this rule is rarely followed, but after all, it is the rules of the road, and now there is no reason not to care about it, the rat two nuns face less a piece of skin and flesh would be fine, but the five views of the five views of the less a view, but what is the behavior? From ancient times to the present, in the funeral customs of successive generations, to maintain the integrity of the remains of the deceased is a very solemn thing, this cat too can also be annoyed, must not be lightly spared it, at least have to snatch the rat Ergou’s ears back.

Said when it is late, then but fast, these ideas only in Chen blind man in the brain a flash, he was behind the four people to the four people to give a word: “Do not follow to, a go to go back to ……” The words did not fall, has picked open the door bolts, shaking the shape of the body to follow the out, that the old cat to go very fast, simply not allow He thought again, late on a late I’m afraid I can no longer catch up, when the feet a little bit of the ground, show the light power of the Swallow’s Tail, looking for traces all the way to chase out.

Chen family has its own generations of lightness, are flying thieves walk thousands of homes over a hundred necessary skills, not like people imagine so magical, although the name of the lightness is called “Rang Swallow’s Tail”, in fact, and can’t really catch up with the Swallow to catch it swallow’s tail, but only since childhood with herbs boiled in water to take a bath, it is called “change bones”, and the “Swallow’s tail”. “Bone”, can make the body light, and then through the practice of lifting, vertical, chasing, climbing, stomping, stepping, turning several kinds of skills, a few years later, although it can’t really do “high to go high, flying wall”, but “over the wall and ridge “a class of skills far better than ordinary people.

Unloading Ling group of thieves according to their own arts and crafts high and low different, there are different names in the internal, want to do the big head of the leader, there must be “over high head” ability, this is a kind of flying thief’s title, implying that you can unarmed over the high walls, Chen blind man in the mountains with the old man more than a decade of hard work, really got a few points of the “marrow and fur “The difference, plus he was born with a pair of night eyes, in the rain and mud in the darkness of the Byung Gas chase, but can closely follow the cat trail, in a matter of moments has been chased to the next ridge.

The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, this time the rain gradually stopped, the clouds dispersed, a bend of the cold moon exposed, three-legged crippled cat, after all, less a leg, although in and out of the agile, but run up to be much slower than the sound of the cat, so Chen Blind man borrowed the moonlight tracking, and a moment did not follow the loss of that the old cat seems to feel the back of the pursuing soldiers, since it is not too late to devour that bite down on the ears of the dead, and had to focus on the escape.

Crippled hair under the mountain ridge fled a distance, around a few circles, see always unable to please Chen blind man’s pursuit, will give birth to trickery, oblique leap into the dense forest, Chen blind man chased half a day did not catch up with the crippled cat, but because of the ground mud slippery, a few times nearly fell into the dark ravine, cursing “good a thief cat, less a cat leg still run so fast”, gritted his teeth and chased to the cat, and then the old cat, the old cat seemed to have felt that there is no pursuit. Gnashing his teeth, chased to the edge of the forest, has disappeared the cat’s trail, if it is from here around the mountain to chase, more than a deep dense forest, people walking in it, up to not see the sky.

All around is silent, it seems that the crippled cat fled into the forest dense ridge steep sinister place, Chen blind secretly think that has been chased out too far, and then into the forest for fear of losing the road, had to slow down the footsteps, the heart hate cursed: “Thief break cat, is really treacherous through the top, next time to teach Chen a hit, do not want your life, first cut you a cat leg to see you this guy can still escape to where. ”

Seeing that since the chase can not be, they have to go back, but just to turn around, suddenly heard that quiet old forest, came a burst of: “Meow …… meow ……” cat call, the sad cry like a sob. Sorrowful cries such as sobbing like crying, more with a kind of trembling want to die of fear, the cat screams more and more is horrified, in the night to listen to, shrugged human hair bone.

Chen blind heart suspicious, then stopped to identify the sound of the forest, can not help but be strange, that break the foot of the old cat is not resting in his previous life, in the forest encountered what? But listen to that screaming this odd ominous, said the old cat’s life is the largest, what exactly can be an old cat scared into this? His curiosity, can not help but want to find out, and now uphold the breath, nip foot sneak trail into the forest.

Through the gap between the trees sprinkled with moonlight, only to see an old tree behind a piece of graveyard, graveyard monument chaotic stone, grass spreading, look up is very familiar, very much like the place depicted in the ancient paintings of Yizhuang, and the old cat is huddled lying on a piece of debris monument below the whole body trembling a can’t stop, while the tombstone appeared in a scene of incredibly bizarre situation, which makes a group of robbers leader of the Chen Blind man’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Moonlight, Chen blind for the chase crippled cat, night exploration of the ancient tomb forest, unknowingly has been chased out of a good distance, the depression in a piece of old forest, this forest in the roots of gnarled ancient trees, were born to pull the sky and leaning on the ground, through the moonlight, but the forest depths of the demonic fog spit, and there is a weak sound of the water flow, through a variety of strange and ominous atmosphere.
