Chapter 62: Yellow Orange Looking at the Moon
Chapter 62: Yellow Orange Looking at the Moon
At night, the sound of frogs croaking continued. A green frog was squatting beside a pile of rocks in the grass, puffing its gills and staring at the flying insects.
"Whoosh~"
A tongue shot out, caught a low-flying firefly, and then was quickly retracted into the mouth.
It was chewing the delicious food in its mouth, its eyes slightly narrowed, and was bitten by a long gray-brown snake beside the grass without any awareness.
The green frog struggled desperately and twisted its legs, but it only had time to arch its legs a few times before it was entangled by the brown snake's body, strangled to death bit by bit, and then swallowed from the head.
No one noticed the lack of frog croaking in the grass. The brown snake twisted its slightly bloated body and walked deeper into the grass.
Suddenly, the tall grass leaves were pushed aside, revealing a pair of eyes glowing green. It turned out to be a tabby cat!
The brown snake coiled up nervously, raised its upper body high, stared at the other party with its pupils vertical, and occasionally spit out its tongue and raised its head to threaten and intimidate the other party.
"Meow~"
The tabby cat opened its mouth and growled, revealing its sharp teeth, then rushed forward with a whoosh.
The brown snake's body turned around at high speed, and its head bent and passed over the cat's claws to bite its neck.
However, the tabby cat was much more agile than snakes in mid-air. It caught the snake's head with just a flick of its claws. Its speed was much faster than that of snakes. It held the snake's head on the ground with its two claws, allowing the snake's body to twist and struggle continuously.
Then he was about to bite through the snake's vital point, but suddenly his body felt lighter.
The tabby cat turned its head and saw that someone was grabbing its neck and lifting it into the air. Its four feet were off the ground and it was kicking its claws around in the air.
The long brown snake was thrown to the ground and quickly crawled into the grass and disappeared.
"You mountain cat, why are you eating snakes? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
Chen Beimo asked it with amusement.
The tabby cat turned its head in dissatisfaction and wanted to bite the man's wrist, but its neck was held tightly and it could not move.
It stared at the hateful man in front of it with a ferocious look, and kept struggling with its claws.
"Hey, there's a rat!"
Chen Beimo smiled and pointed his finger. A passing mouse under the pile of rocks slowly crawled over like a lost soul and stopped at his feet.
"Don't eat long snakes anymore. There are no spicy strips here."
"Meow~"
Leave me alone!
The tabby cat was put to the ground. It quickly bit the mouse and ran into the bushes.
"This wild cat is quite intelligent."
As the night deepened, a light fog rose by the river. Two connected houses were faintly visible on the river bank, with no lights or fire.
Chen Beimo sat cross-legged on the embankment, his whole body filled with mist and dewdrops all over the ground, but his body was not wet at all.
From time to time, drops of water fall on the small pool of Qi in the Dantian within the body, expanding the pool.
As the days passed, the boats passing by the river got used to the fishing monk next to the bamboo house.
Occasionally, merchants and travelers passing by would get some water to drink, so Chen Beimo hung a kettle next to the house, with firewood and a fire starter underneath.
Then they put up another sign with five big words written on it.
“Collecting firewood can provide drinking water”
After a long time, someone who asked for water had no firewood to pick up, so he placed a copper coin nearby.
When people who came later saw the coin, they also learned to put the money in the water.
Although there is a river next to them, except for those who are about to die of thirst, no one would scoop up the river water and drink it directly. At least they would put away the debris in the water.
Chen Beimo's bamboo house is located on a small embankment with no village in front and no shop behind. It is very rare to find a place to boil water to drink.
So over a long period of time, the amount of money collected every day ranged from three to five cents to more than ten cents.
Chen Beimo's name, Qingshui Jushi, was also known to business travelers who came and went.
Sometimes people who were not in a hurry to travel would chat with him, sit down to rest their feet, drink a bowl of Baizhu tea, eat some dry food they brought with them, and then continue on their journey contentedly.
The tabby cat would often squat here, just because it once ate some leftover roasted chicken bones from someone else's meal and decided that cat food was delicious.
So he squatted beside the bamboo house all day, watching over the kettle for boiling water. When he saw people coming and smelled something delicious, he would call out non-stop.
This wild bobcat has light yellow fur, and as it grows older it becomes more and more adorable, and most of the time passers-by will let it have its way.
Seeing that the cat didn't take its owner seriously at all, Chen Beimo drove it away.
It was only allowed to stay after it promised not to catch any long snakes again.
It was just that every time she would glare at Chen Beimo from behind, but every time when he turned around, her face would become docile and she would turn her head away to lick her hair.
In June, the weather became hot, so Chen Beimo planted an osmanthus tree next to his bamboo house, hoping that it would grow and provide him with shade in the future.
On such a hot summer day, the cicadas chirped non-stop. Chen Beimo made a recliner, lay on it leisurely, and fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan.
The bobcat was also lazily curled up under the recliner. It always felt that it would be cooler to be close to this person than to be in other places.
Seeing that the cat was becoming more and more intelligent, Chen Beimo said to it, "How about I give you a name?"
"Meow~"
What? I don't understand.
The yellow cat raised its head and looked at him in confusion, then lowered its head lazily and continued to lie on its side on the bamboo board.
"Then I'll call you Huangju. After all, you are a yellow cat, not an orange cat."
"Meow~"
Too lazy to care.
"Then I'll call you Huangju. From now on, you have to be reasonable when I call you that!" Chen Beimo sat up and said to it seriously.
"Meow~"
do not know.
"Snapped!"
The palm-leaf fan hit its body, and the lazy cat instantly stood up straight, looking fiercely at the hateful man in front of it. It didn't feel any pain, but was just angry at being disturbed in its sleep.
"Did you hear me?"
"If you listen to me, I'll give you fish. If you only listen to me, I'll give you grilled fish."
"Meow!"
good good!
When the tabby cat heard the word "fish", its eyes widened and it looked at him expectantly.
The cat even ran to Chen Beimo's feet and rubbed its head against the back of his feet, acting like a spoiled child.
This cat also knows how to be charming?
Chen Beimo turned his face away, pretending not to see it, "It's too sunny now, let's go fishing later."
"Meow~Hmm~"
OK~
For the first time, Huang Ju felt that the person in front of him was not so annoying.
When the sun began to set, Chen Beimo took his fishing rod and walked towards the embankment. Huang Ju followed closely behind him, and when they reached the shore, they stared into the water.
It was probably 4 or 5 quarters of an hour at You, which was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Looking behind me, I saw the shadows of the mountains and the red clouds dyeing the forests. In front of me, the red sun was reflected in the water, dyed into a dazzling golden color.
Chen Beimo picked up the fishing rod, swung it, and started fishing.
Huang Ju stood there and waited for a while. Seeing no movement, he squatted down and waited slowly.
But as soon as his butt touched the ground, he jumped up because of the burns from the bamboo boards that had been exposed to the sun all day.
"Meow!"
hot!
Chen Beimo couldn't help laughing when he saw it, then he shook the fishing rod and caught a small grass carp, only the size of a palm, which was thrown onto the embankment alive and kicking.
Huang Ju pounced on it instantly, holding on tightly with both claws, fearing that it would be snatched away.
Then he grabbed the little fish and ran away, hiding in a corner and starting his feast.
Chen Beimo ignored it and started catching fish again, but he specifically targeted ordinary fish that had no intelligence.
This time, I fished for half an hour, until it was almost dark, when I finally caught a bass.
A big fish as long as an adult's arm was thrown onto the bamboo board and jumped around. Huang Ju, with a look of surprise on his face, held it down and kept screaming.
"Meow~"
What a big fish!
"Meow~" I can't eat this~
Chen Beimo smiled and cut the fish with a bamboo knife. After cleaning it, he put it on the hanging pot and said, "This fish is mine. You have no share."
"Meow!"
Why!
"Meow!"
I want to eat too!
Chen Beimo skewered the fish, lit a fire below and started grilling the fish.
As night fell and the starry sky gradually appeared, a man and a cat gathered around a rack over a fire, staring at the roasted sweetfish.
"Meow~"
I really want to eat it~
"Meow~"
It smells so good!
"Wow~"
Suddenly, there was a sound of rolling waves near the river bank. A giant python climbed onto the shore, gradually turning into a three-foot-long black snake, and came to the fire.
"Meow!"
Huang Ju's hair all over his body stood up instantly. He stared at the black snake nervously, but he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
The black snake ignored it and looked at the fish on the fire rack.
Obviously, Beichenjun also wanted to eat.
"Don't you usually not eat fish?" Chen Beimo asked curiously.
Beichen made a low humming sound with disdain, indicating that he just wanted to eat.
"Okay, then I'll give you half."
Chen Beimo used a bamboo knife to cut it in half, placed one half next to the stone, and divided the other half into two portions and threw them to Huang Ju, who wanted to eat it but didn't dare to go forward and could only watch from a distance.
A man, a cat and a snake, all of them are eating roasted fish in this weird scene.
Beichen seemed to be still savoring the food after he finished it. He smacked his lips. It tasted pretty good, but a little bland.
Chen Beimo casually waved his hand and grabbed a stone, saying, "If it tastes bland, lick the stone. It's salty!"
Then he turned to Huang Ju and said, "You too."
Wild animals in the mountains and forests often have the habit of licking stones. This is because sometimes there is not enough salt in the food, and they can only rely on the salt on the stones to supplement the body's needs.
Beichen bit the stone and jumped into the water.
Only after seeing the black snake leave did Huang Ju dare to come closer.
"Meow~"
"Meow~"
Still want to eat~
"It's late, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Chen Beimo turned off the engine, turned around and walked to the embankment, where he sat and looked at the moon and the sky.
When living alone in the mountains, you still need to calculate the time and season. It is easy to judge the season by observing the stars and the moon.
Huangju also squatted at his feet, raised his big eyes curiously, and looked up at the starry sky for the first time in his cat life.
Countless bright stars are twinkling in the vast sky, and a white jade plate is hanging in the air, guarded by many stars.
Huangju's pupils began to gradually lose focus, and its cat brain began to have different thoughts and ideas. The faint moonlight dyed the cat's fur white, and the bright light seemed to merge with it.
"Ding zero~"
A small bell rang in the night, and an evil spirit approached.
Chen Beimo turned his head and saw a line of figures appearing among the weeds. They were a group of strange people.
A man was walking in front, shaking a bell, and behind him, a group of seven or eight people were walking stiffly.
"Don't ring the bell to disturb the quietness of the night."
Chen Beimo waved his sleeves and the bell stopped ringing.
"Which expert?"
A deep, hoarse, old voice sounded.
"An idler in the mountains, a hermit by the water."
Chen Beimo stood up and took a step forward, and Huang Ju could no longer hear any outside sound.
This tabby cat is very smart. It is in the process of awakening its spiritual power and cannot be disturbed.
"Can I have a bowl of water?"
"It's inconvenient tonight, please leave as soon as possible."
Chen Beimo said without emotion.
"Brother, what do you think that is?"
At the end of the group, there was a living person who was holding up two bamboo poles, supporting the five people in the middle. The bamboo poles were hidden in his sleeves so it was difficult to tell that there were actually two people carrying the corpse.
The old man in front looked up and saw strings of copper coins tied with red ropes under the eaves of the bamboo house.
“Merit money!”
"Yes, brother, these coppers may be sold for a lot of money!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Take action!"
The two men put down the bamboo rack in an instant, and the five bodies were left there.
Two gangsters, one tall and one short, with their faces covered with coarse cloth, rushed to the eaves and tried to snatch the two strings of copper coins.
Chen Beimo frowned, waved his sleeves in the air, used the object control technique, and threw the two people away with one sleeve.
"Why should we be greedy for wealth outside of our body?"
"You've met a master." The old man sneered, "Then you can't show mercy!"
As he said this, he pulled out a small jar from his sleeve with a yellow paper talisman drawn on it. He peeled it open and shouted, "Go, eat him!"
"roar~"
A strange roar was heard, and a two-winged yaksha jumped out of the jar. It looked ferocious, with a hideous face and full of murderous aura. It held a bone trident in its hand, and with a strange cry, it spread its wings and flew towards him.
Chen Beimo's eyes turned cold, and he waved his hand, and a long sword flew into the room.
"bass!"
The long sword was unsheathed, the sword light flashed, a sharp sword sound was heard, the cold light was like blood, and the thunder roared, directly cutting the Yaksha into two halves, which fell to the ground and turned into a ball of dirty and smelly blood.
"Ah! My bloody Yaksha!"
The old man was shocked and furious, but he turned around and ran away. It was obvious that he knew he had offended someone who should not be offended.
The tall and strong man didn't care about anything else and fled in a hurry.
Chen Beimo grabbed the two men from a distance and threw them to the ground. The two men were terrified and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"I won't take your lives." Chen Beimo said expressionlessly, "It's not because I don't want to kill you, but you need to send this person back.
The dead are the greatest, so I will spare your lives today. Take the bodies of the dead with you and go."
"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
The two men hurriedly set up their bamboo poles and left without even daring to look back.
"Corpse drivers are rare."
Chen Beimo muttered something and turned around to look at the cat Huangju.
Unexpectedly, the mountain cat had already fallen to the ground and fallen asleep.
It's just that spiritual energy has gathered around his body, and it is obvious that he has achieved enlightenment.
"This cat is really lucky."
Before Huang Ju met him, his intelligence was already higher than that of ordinary wild beasts. It should be that he had consumed some magical herbs and medicines in the mountains before, which gave him such wisdom.
In addition, he had been influenced by his Kanshui Qi day and night for the past six months, and until tonight when the moon was full and the stars appeared, and the moonlight gathered his spirits, he was able to gain wisdom.
From now on, it is no longer an ordinary cat!
