Taming beasts starts with raising cats

Chapter 9: Save my father as soon as possible (12)

"Mom, stop crying."

Zhou Xiaoshan helplessly comforted his old mother.

Today he found his mother hiding in the bedroom and crying secretly again. She had cried so many times in the past few days that her eyes were swollen from crying.

Yesterday, he complained that his eyes hurt. He went door to door and exchanged two kilograms of fruit for a bottle of eye drops.

"I miss my hometown, and I miss your grandparents." Zhou Xiaoshan's mother said.

"I want to, too." Zhou Xiaoshan sighed, "If they could go back, everyone would want to go back. I heard that more than a dozen people have died in the past few days."

"Your dad went out with that group of people again?" Zhou Xiaoshan's mother asked.

"Well, I heard that someone discovered the pool, and my dad went there with those people." Zhou Xiaoshan said. "It would be a new water source if we could find it."

"Isn't there a stream at the foot of the mountain?"

"That's different. Although the waterhole is a bit remote, it's closer. It only takes more than an hour to go back and forth. If you can determine the location, it will definitely be much more convenient than going down the mountain to fetch water. You can also take a hot bath by then. "Zhou Xiaoshan said with a smile.

There was one more thing Zhou Xiaoshan didn't say.

As you go down the mountain, you will pass through brown bear territory.

In the past few days, several people have died from brown bear attacks.

Unless the brown bear can be dealt with, it will be very dangerous to go down the mountain to fetch water.

The newly discovered waterhole is on the mountain behind, which is not the territory of brown bears. Although some people have discovered snow leopards, snow leopards are stronger than sneak attacks and outbreaks. As long as there are more people, it is always safer than facing brown bears.

...

On the mountain behind,

After climbing over a small hill, in the shade of the back mountain where the sun is blocked, a small pool of water as blue as a mirror stands quietly.

The four men fled in panic, all the way to the pond.

Looking back, I saw a snow leopard with a white background and gray spots standing quietly on a high stone.

Looking down at this group of people.

"The snow leopard doesn't seem to be following." In the team, a man with a beard and a brown hiking bag said breathlessly.

The snow leopard chased them all the way, and they refused to disperse due to the large number of people. Several times the snow leopard tried to move forward, but was forced back by them.

Because their escape route was blocked, they couldn't return to the building and could only run forward.

But when they got close to the pool, they magically discovered that the snow leopard no longer followed them, but stood in the distance and watched them coldly.

They were not fools and noticed something strange.

Looking back at the pool, his eyes were a little frightened and inexplicable.

"There can't be any more terrifying monsters in this pool."

Zhou Daling clenched the machete in his hand.

"There seems to be nothing in this pool." The man carrying a brown hiking bag stood on tiptoes and stood on a rock to observe the pool not far away.

The water pool is crystal clear and a blue pool.

You can clearly see what's under the water at a glance.

But except for some gray-white pebbles at the bottom, there wasn't even a single fish.

A gust of wind blew from the south, causing ripples on the water.

Several people approached cautiously, and one of them tried to dip a little water into the knife he carried, and then touched the drop of water with his finger.

There is no pain and it should not be highly corrosive.

Some people were going to lie down and drink water. Their mouths were already dry from the walk.

Nowadays, every household has little water. Looking at the fresh water source, few people can resist the temptation.

In the distance, Snow Leopard looked at several people and turned away without looking back.

"Be careful that there are parasites in the water," another person warned.

"I know, don't worry and be prepared."

A few people built a simple "Zhengtai" with stones beside the pool.

Then he scooped a large box of water from an iron box.

He also took out some dried pine bark and dried pine shavings from his backpack.

Use a lighter to light the toilet paper, throw it into the pile of dry wood chips, and soon a fire will start.

After a while, the water in the iron box was boiling...

...

Out of curiosity, Bai Ye went to the "chess and card room" on the tenth floor that Li Yundong mentioned.

Before he reached the tenth floor, Bai Ye heard the sound from upstairs in the safe passage on the ninth floor.

"Four K's!"

"Three with a pair."

"..."

The chess and card room is located at 10-10.

There is a row of small benches from the door of the chess and card room extending to the corridor and the elevator.

The people sitting on the bench were all old people, children and women, chatting from all over the world.

The conversation was also varied.

"I heard that your old Mr. Li is a retired traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"

"It's been a few years since I retired."

"Can you check my daughter-in-law's pulse to see if she is pregnant?"

"You still want to get pregnant at this time? That's not a punishment."

"Hey, of course I don't want to get pregnant. You can't get pregnant at this time. I'm just worried."

"..."

"My grandson used to be naughty, but now he doesn't have to study. He's very happy these days."

"Hey, my grandson has good grades. He could have been admitted to a key middle school, but now he can't."

"I heard that another death occurred in a family on the 27th floor. A man died in her family yesterday. It seems like something happened again today."

"When did it happen?"

"It wasn't long before the bird burst into the house."

"Oh, that's terrible. Fortunately, I don't live in a high-rise building."

"That's not true. I heard that not many people want to live in those high floors now."

...

In the chess and card room, several large fire pits were burning for warmth.

The temperature in the room is not low.

It was so hot and sweaty that some people even took off their clothes, went shirtless and shouted loudly.

It was even more crowded with people, some were playing mahjong on the table, and some were simply sitting cross-legged on the floor to fight the landlord.

The room was filled with a strong smell of pine and sweat.

The reality is too bitter, so some people choose to numb themselves with entertainment.

"Four and two, we don't have much food at home. Do you want to go east together tomorrow?" A shirtless man asked the others around the mahjong table.

"I heard someone saw a deer out east."

"There are really deers?! Didn't you say it was fake?"

"Of course it's true, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Then if you don't catch it and eat it, how much meat can a deer have? It will be enough for you to eat for several months, hahaha."

A group of people around laughed.

Someone's eyes shone and they licked their lips.

"I would have caught it a long time ago. Damn it, have you ever seen a deer that is about the same size as a horse? The antlers on its head are even more exaggerated. It would be crazy if anyone could catch this thing." He said at the beginning that he had seen a deer. The man spoke.

"You can catch fish in the creek at the foot of the mountain."

"The creek is not safe either. It is said that some people have seen python shed skin there."

"Who saw it?"

"I heard it."

"Then what you say is a hammer, it's just empty talk."

"Oh, by the way, have you all learned the beast control technique?"

"What's the use of learning it? No animal can give me a contract."

"You can go catch a few bugs and come back to sign the contract."

"How long can this insect live? He died two months after signing the contract."

"Hahaha."

People around laughed.

"There are two goldfish in my fish tank. If you want them, I can sell them to you at a cheaper price."

"Fuck you, keep it for yourself, put the goldfish in the stream at the foot of the mountain and let it fish for you."

Bai Ye was eye-opening.

There is so much talent in this building.

The news is also varied.

Bai Ye went back after listening for a while.

What he didn't notice was that a pair of men saw Bai Ye leaving. After exchanging glances, they followed him.

...

But as soon as I got home, before I could open the door, two people came to the door.

"Brother, can we discuss something?" One left and one right.

Two men surrounded Bai Ye from both sides.

In the darkness, Bai Ye couldn't see clearly what they looked like.

But the voice sounded familiar.

"Don't you have several cats at home? If you give us two cats, we won't get them for nothing. We will exchange them with you for two kilograms of fruit."

"I don't have a cat in my house. You remembered wrongly." Bai Ye said innocently, "The one with cats lives in the house next door to me."

Bai Ye pointed at neighbor 7-9 and said.

Unexpectedly, in the darkness, the two people in front of them looked at each other, and then laughed, making a very wild, villain-like laugh.

"I live in a 7-9! Your cat meows every day. I know you have one! Don't pretend to be stupid!"

The man on the left pressed something cold against Bai Ye's throat.

Bai Ye:......

"Stop making trouble, take the knife away from my neck, and I will open the door for you. My two cats are not my decision. If you kill me, they will never forgive you in their lives."

Bai Ye said very bachelorly.

The two of them chuckled.

He said sinisterly: "Whoever makes trouble with you, you open the door first."

But the thing placed on Bai Ye's neck was still put down.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.

I originally wanted to frame the kid next door.

Tong Ji said before that he was one of the pair of co-workers who lived in the 7-9 next door to him.

In fact, although Bai Ye was very angry when he heard this, the incident did not fall on him, so he actually had an indifferent attitude.

But unexpectedly, trouble still came to the door.

"Brother, we have gone out and explored together after all. There is no need to be so awesome." Bai Ye rambled.

"Who is your brother? Although cat meat is a bit sour, it is still meat and not meat."

"Are you planning to eat the cat?" Bai Ye was shocked.

He thought he was going to sign a contract.

"Who wants to sign a contract with your pet cat?" The person standing behind Bai Ye smiled.

"In addition to being cute, can your cat catch mice? Can it go hunting? It is a waste of food to support the family."

"You seem to have a point." Bai Ye said in agreement.

Then he said with a smile: "When the time comes, can you share a piece of the pie with me?"

"Hahaha, seeing how sensible you are, I'll leave a cat tail for you to chew on when the time comes."

A person from behind reached out and took out a kitchen knife from Bai Ye's pocket.

"The knife is too dangerous, so just leave it here with us first."

Bai Ye opened the door.

One of them put his arm around Bai Ye's shoulder to prevent Bai Ye from moving, and the other person walked in directly.

"Where's the cat?" The person who walked into the house didn't see the cat and turned to ask Bai Ye.

"It's in the bedroom. You go get it. I'll just stand here and don't move." Bai Ye said.

The man walking in front went to the bedroom and opened the door.

The man behind locked Bai Ye's throat with his elbow and whispered in his ear: "Don't move, otherwise don't blame me... huh? What is your vest? It's hard."

"It's a book." Bai Ye sighed.

After saying that, Bai Ye opened his hands behind him.

Just behind the two of them,

The starlight condensed and formed, and finally turned into a complicated and cumbersome formation.

The man behind Bai Ye felt the light behind him and turned his head instinctively.

The next moment, the formation opened, and something like a door appeared behind him.

"Duoduo, sister, bite him!"

Bai Ye frantically gave orders to the two cats through the contract.

Attack! Attack! Attack! This is the enemy! Enemy! Enemy!!!

My son Duoduo, save your father quickly!

He didn't know if his order would work, but he just hoped that these two big fools could understand his request.

If they rushed out and rolled on the ground with their four legs up in the air, their father's life would be sold by them.

Bai Ye was very confident. He was not a retired special forces soldier, and he had never learned fighting. Someone held his neck and a knife was on his back.

Although he had several books tied in his body, he didn't know if these books could resist the knife.

In a one-on-two situation, he would most likely give himself up.

The only hope was to sneak attack one of them while the two were separated, and then take advantage of the fact that they were in greater numbers to take care of the last person.

Duoduo rushed out of the summoning circle and leaped.

A pair of eyes reflecting green light in the darkness, like a savage hunter.

With a leap, the person behind Bai Ye was directly knocked down.

The other person who went to open the bedroom door heard the sound behind him and hurried back to help.

"Bang!"

Bai Ye kicked the door directly.

He closed the door, and then turned the key that was still inserted in the door, and directly locked the person inside in the room.

After doing all this, Bai Ye didn't have time to praise his brain for being really smart. He unzipped the down jacket on his chest, reached into his arms with his right hand, and took out a fruit knife.

In the dark, he was afraid of accidentally hurting his cat, so he fumbled on the ground with his left hand.

Soon he touched a hard object wrapped in a soft thing.

Is this... a head?

After hesitating for a moment,

Bai Ye's face changed, fuck, this bitch bites me!

He held the dagger in his right hand and stabbed it hard!

The movement in the corridor attracted the attention of many residents on this floor,

someone opened the door.

Then he saw this scene,

In the dim light, a man half-knelt on the ground, holding a knife, and stabbed hard at another man lying on the ground.

One time! Two times! Three times...
