As soon as I entered, the door was locked again behind me.
The old security guard knocked on the glass, meaning hurry up.
"call..."
After coming in, I could see that the breath I exhaled turned white.
There are several rows of large sliding drawers around, which are stainless steel refrigerators for storing corpses.
"Ma Xiumei...Zhao Tianliang, Hu Tao..."
"where?"
My hands hurt from the cold, so I looked through the cabinets. Some cabinets didn't have labels on them. I pulled them out and looked at them. I immediately said I was sorry for admitting the wrong person and pushed them back.
"Li Tiecheng."
"Found it, this is it." On the third floor.
I moved a stool and stepped on it, grabbed the handle of the refrigerator, and prepared to pull it out.
Sudden.
"Bang!"
It seemed like something hit the top of the refrigerator.
"Meow meow..."
When I saw it, I saw it was a big black cat with messy hair. I didn't know where it came from.
The black cat's tail was raised high, its eyes reflected a faint green light, and it was looking at me.
"go!"
"go!"
"Get out of here, you dead wild cat."
I waved my hand as if to fight, but it meowed, jumped off the refrigerator, and ran away.
I secretly cursed something unlucky.
Legend has it that if a black cat's eyes see the eyes of a corpse, or a piece of cat hair falls on a corpse, it will appear as if it were a corpse.
This is how cat-faced old ladies in Northeast China scam corpses. I am a native of Northeast China, so of course I know about it.
I was just ten years old at that time, and an old cousin in Mohe told me that he was selling fried ham behind Harbin Experimental Primary School.
My cousin said that the old lady with a cat face is called Madam Zhang. Her daughter-in-law is very powerful, but her son is a coward who dare not say a word. The couple is not filial, so they let Madam Zhang live in a cave dwelling and only eat rice soup every day.
Steamed buns.
July 26, 1995.
That evening, the couple was not at home. Their son brought his classmates to the house to do homework after school.
Even though they were taught by words and deeds, the little grandsons were not filial either. They deliberately ate sesame candies in front of Mrs. Zhang, who just watched and swallowed her saliva.
Later, his grandson deliberately dropped a piece of sesame candy on the ground, and everyone ran outside to peek to see if their grandma would pick it up from the ground and eat it.
Mrs. Zhang hadn't eaten sweets for a long time, and she felt hungry, so she picked it up, wiped it, and ate it in her mouth.
Outside the door, the little grandson and his classmates watched all this and laughed, finding it very interesting.
After playing for a while, the little grandson thought of something fun again.
July is summer, when there are many flies and mosquitoes. The fly medicine is very similar to the orange powder we drink in summer. My grandson made a big bowl of fly medicine and lied to Mrs. Zhang that it was orange powder.
Drink it quickly, it tastes good.
The old lady drank a bowl of fly poison, fell asleep and never woke up, and died.
The next day, the son and his daughter-in-law had a huge quarrel when they found out. The son said he wanted to beat the child. The daughter-in-law quarreled and said: "The old woman is of no use! She will die! If Xiaodong (grandson) is found out by the school!"
I won’t be with you anymore!”
The version that was later circulated was that the corpse of the old lady came into contact with a black cat, and the corpse turned into an old lady with a cat face. She hid during the day and ran around on the street at night.
Anyone who attended the Experimental Primary School in those days knows that there was evening self-study in the sixth grade. At that time, no one dared to go through the alley and walked through the main entrance. Anyone who saw a black cat on the wall meant that Mrs. Zhang was nearby.
Because of this, my cousin moved the fried skewers truck to another place and continued to sell it.
Because of the psychological effect, I instantly recalled this thing I heard when I was a child.
All this flashed through my mind for only a minute or two. I took a deep breath and looked at the refrigerator.
Use your wrists to exert force and start to pull outwards.
