It’s Hard To Be A Bad Cat

This tribe, which is basically only left behind by middle-aged and elderly people, and may all relocate in a few years, is blocked by a deep fault zone.

The place where Ye Yuclan was injured and rescued was near there, but the living environment was difficult.

However, in the village of the former tribe, there are many long-lived old people.

The old man Ye Yulan knew who always guarded the small broken temple was said to be over 130 years old.

Of course, because there are no official statistics, there is no record of birth, and there is no way to verify this age. After all, one hundred and thirty years old can apply for a world record. How can it appear so easily?

In particular, some grandfathers and grandmothers also said that the old man is actually more than 130 years old, maybe more than 150 years old, and few young people believe it.

But according to Ye Yulan's observation, there are several centenarians in the village, and many of them are in their 80s and 90s. According to the ratio of the total population, it is not an exaggeration to say a longevity village.

But when we were separated a few years ago, the old man who handed Huatang to her was still in good spirits, and he was so happy that there was no problem at all.

Now that she heard that the old man had left shortly after she left, Ye Silan couldn't help feeling a bit sad, but she was patted on the shoulder by her grandmother before she showed her sadness, and waved her hand after smiling.

There is no need for the younger generation to shed tears for fun.

The customs here in the village are not the same as those outside. The old man who lived more than a hundred years of pain and disaster died peacefully in his sleep, and then was sent away by the younger generations holding hands, and should not be disturbed with tears.

The grandmother's articulation is not very neat, but she is very enthusiastic, even if her accent is too heavy, she gestures to let Ye Yulan live in her house.

Ye Yulan has traveled too many places in the past few decades, and she knows many dialects.

It's just that such a small village hidden in the mountains has its own customs and culture, and has little contact with the outside world, and the overall language expression is relatively independent, so she needs to guess and be fooled.

She lived here when she was recuperating from her injury, and she had felt the confusion that she didn't understand at all.

But fortunately, the grandmother's gestures were very good, and Ye Yulan also remembered some basic words, and she began to talk as she was old and young.

Yes, Ye Silan knows that looking at her 60-year-old grandmother, when she was 89 years old this year, she was a little bit stunned. She is indeed "less" in front of the 89-year-old grandmother. .

Now there is a village relocation policy. This small village is too remote and there is no way to develop the surrounding area. It can only be relocated, and the government will return the resettlement houses.

It's just that the older people are reluctant to leave here, insisting on staying, eating corn and sweet potatoes, drinking mountain spring water, and their bodies are quite tough.

Knowing that Ye Yulan was here for the ruined temple, grandma clapped her hands and swiftly pulled Ye Yulan and passed.

From her grandma's gestures, Ye Yulan understood that the dilapidated history of this ruined temple was at least 90 years old.

In my grandma’s impression, this temple is ruined, and no one goes to worship, only a few elderly people in the village are willing to clean it.

However, following the death of the elder who gave Huatang to Ye Yucca, the last insider also left.

If the house doesn't live, it will soon be ruined, and the temple will be about the same. If there is no one to tidy up, it will quickly go bad.

Grandma took Ye Yulan around, but she didn't see anything except the broken walls and tiles.

When Ye Yulan took Huatang away, she clearly saw a cat statue in the temple. She was very impressed because there were very few cat worshippers in China, so she looked at it a few more times.

But now there is nothing, no trace of cats at all.

It's rare for a younger generation to come, grandma likes to chat, even if the language is not so smooth, and when she sees Ye Yulan's depression, she will tell her stories.

I don't know if she has noticed that there are no cats in the village, no matter if it is a few years ago or now.

Because they don't pay attention to raising cats here, they raise other animals, but they don't raise cats.

Speaking of this, my grandmother is a bit proud. Although she doesn't raise cats, her village has never been harmed by mice. She has lived for nearly ninety years and has never seen it once.

"Huh? Really?" Ye Yulan thought about it carefully, as if she hadn't seen the locals raise cats before, but she thought it was because the place was too small and the population was small. But now It seems that it is obviously different from other places.

You must know that rodent prevention is basically the standing knowledge of the farmers, and the farmers keep more cats to catch mice. Otherwise, the harvest of a year will be more than half of the rat disaster.

The grandma looked surprised when she saw Ye Yulan and told the story she had heard when she was a child. She said that this place was not a tribe before, but an official family for Maohu Temple. Later it became a tribe and now it is a village.

Where the cat is, where can the mouse dare to come, so no mouse can be seen in the village.

It's just that the young people in the village didn't really believe this story. They felt that the absence of mice might be related to the terrain or water quality. Anyway, they didn't believe it was a cat shocking story. It was a story of an old man coaxing a child.

But Ye Yulan paid attention to these stories and carefully studied the folklore stories in various places. In fact, some sources or corresponding events can be found. Even if some of them are exaggerated or fictional, it is enough to find a little.

Seeing that Ye Yulan was interested in the story, after her grandma took her home, she made a cup of milk powder alone and talked about it for almost a day and a half.

Folklore stories are largely educational, persuasive and even intimidating. Except for some of the content that has been spread too much, most of them are passed on by word of mouth. The elders teach them to children, let them know what to do and not to do. what.

Correspondingly, the folklore stories by the sea rarely involve deserts, camels, and Populus euphratica, and most of them are hainus and dragon kings.

Inland folklore stories are mostly mountain gods, land and the like, and rarely involve seaweed, shrimp, crab or big fish.

In the story told by the grandmother, the frequency of cats is actually very high, which is obviously different from folk stories in other places.

As a result, Ye Yulan really heard something special.

The story is simple. There is a cat curiously squatting at the door of a childless couple’s home, listening to the host teach other children to read, the hostess teaches other women to weave, not only imitating the teaching to the villagers further away, She was deeply moved and turned into a baby, and appeared at the gate of the courtyard, fulfilling the couple's wish for a child.

The essence of the story is studious and industrious, and I believe that goodness is rewarded, but Ye Yuen can't help thinking, is it true that the cat will become more and more curious about people's lives, and will one day become a person?

Of course, ordinary cats may not believe it, but non-ordinary cats might give it a try.

Lying on a wooden bed at night, Ye Yulan rarely can't sleep, otherwise the signal here is not good, she wants to call Huatang a video to see what the black cat is doing.

It's a rare visit to the village. Ye Yulan has learned some massage techniques before. She helped her grandma and a few other elderly people press twice, and then noted down some obvious senile diseases, and prepared to contact the nearest hospital after going out. It took a few days to leave.

Although she didn't find any definite news, she probably found something out of the story her grandma told Ye Yulan.

You know, the time Huatang spends with people is much longer than the time spent with cats. To be more precise, there is no fluffy one with so many social needs.

Unwilling to be raised by the family, Huatang herself communicates with different residents in Yurou Township in the community every day.

If you think about Huatang's life carefully, it is not much different from ordinary people, and even three meals a day should be more punctual.

Is Huatang becoming more and more human, and one day, will switch to a new identity?

Ye Yulan was surprised by her bold speculation and felt that it was impossible to rely solely on her own imagination, but she couldn't help thinking, what if it was true?

Huatang is not an ordinary cat, it's just that it's usually special, and it's all hidden by Doodle.

So, when Huatang had just finished her literacy course and could finally throw away the tablet to appreciate the rainbow farts that others gave to evil cats, Ye Yulan made a special return.

"Huatang learns so quickly?"

The black cat looked up proudly, of course.

"How many words can you know? That's amazing!"

Boast, continue boasting, Huatang spreads in Ye Yulan's arms, waiting for boasting.

"Then take a look at these classes? They are all very interesting, Huatang is the smartest!"

Ye Yulan immediately took out a tablet of the same model, but the memory was upgraded, and it was packed with various courses, gently but firmly in front of Huatang.

If Huatang had not recognized all the common words in a short time, Ye Yulan would not have put such a heavy learning pressure on the cat.

But there is no way, she knows Huatang too well, without taking out all the pressure at the beginning, Huatang can definitely take care of her secretly.

Sure enough, before Huatang's triumphant little expression was recovered, she was hit by reality and looked at Ye Yulan in disbelief.

Huatang's eyesight is very good, and she saw a lot of Dangdang course videos after a glance, even more than her collection on the tablet.

Ye Yulan had already collected a batch of courses before, but Huatang was able to read the literacy, and everything else was left there.

But now look at this in Ye Yulan's hand, that Huatang would rather learn the original, at least that less.

Taking care of the kitten ball in one hand, Ye Yulan understands Huatang, and Huatang also understands Ye Yulan. Seeing her irresistible expression, the black cat resolutely pushed away the tablet in her hand and pressed her tightly. Tablet.

She doesn't learn that, she has to learn this from herself, don't let her tablet leave!

When the question is whether to choose more or less, Huatang can easily ignore the hidden option.

"This tablet is better, and the lessons inside are particularly interesting." Ye Yulan concealed her smile of successful routines under her eyes, and seriously pushed the tablet forward in her hand, unwillingly trying to make Huatang use more of it. One.

No, using her best, Huatang pushed back firmly, dragging the tablet and jumping back to the top of the cabinet.

Okay, don't disturb the evil cat's study, just concentrate.
