Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three Repaying Gratitude with Life
This time Jingjing didn't even have time to change her clothes into something decent, so she picked up the two kittens and headed to the veterinary hospital again.
The previous doctor saw two cats with the same symptoms. After careful examination again, he was a little helpless.
The doctor called two other doctors, and they came to the same conclusion. It was definitely not a pathological disease, but they just suspected that their vitality was much weaker than that of ordinary kittens.
Since the doctor said so, Jingjing had no other better solution. After all, this was the only veterinary hospital in the city.
Jingjing had another miserable day at work, and she didn't even find out what happened when her employees asked her.
It seems that not only the kitten, but also herself should go to the hospital for a check-up. She is really not in a good state recently. She can feel this herself. She has obviously slept for a long time, but she feels as tired as if she has not slept.
When I got home in the middle of the night, the two cats became lively and jumping around again. Jingjing felt very strange. Could it be that they were really hungry? So Jingjing gave the cats other dried fish.
For seven days in a row, Jingjing would wake up at noon and see the dying cat lying at the door of her house. By night, she would return to normal.
It just changed from the previous two to three. In addition to the little gray and the little yellow, a little flower was added.
Jingjing thought the community management had placed rodenticide around the house, and the cat accidentally ate it.
After checking the area around her house, she didn't find anything abnormal. She sent them to the hospital with the same result. Jingjing had no choice but to add enough food to them and leave the room.
As usual, the first thing she did when she got home in the middle of the night was that Jingjing ran to the backyard to visit the kitten.
This time, the kitten seemed to use all its strength to rush into Jingjing's arms, gently licking Jingjing's palm with its tongue, and after a long time, reluctantly jumped from Jingjing's arms to the ground.
Xiaobai, the only normal one, rubbed his head against Jingjing's ankle and called out "meow". Jingjing saw a tear flow from Xiaobai's eyes.
"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow."
"Meow~"
Xiaobai let out a painful roar and suddenly jumped to the top of the wall. He looked back at Jingjing and still jumped outside the wall.
In several months, this was the first time Jingjing saw Xiaobai leave her courtyard.
"Meow~" "Meow~" "Meow~"
The three remaining cats meowed softly, seeming to tell Jingjing that they would always be with her.
That night, Jingjing cried sadly for a long time before falling asleep. When she woke up, she looked at herself in the mirror in disbelief, her face was really ugly.
Make arrangements for the bar tonight, and I must go to the hospital to take a look tomorrow.
Jingjing walked towards the backyard, thinking about something she needed to explain to the staff.
"ah!"
Jingjing let out a cry of pain and ran quickly to the grass at the door. The three kittens remained lying on their stomachs and had completely expired.
"Xiao Hui, Xiao Huang, Xiao Hua, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you, wu wu wu."
Jingjing found a shovel, dug a deep hole under a big tree in the backyard, packed the bodies of the three kittens in wooden boxes containing wine, and cried her final farewell to them.
It was at this time that Jingjing happened to meet Zhang Ying who came to her store. The two of them started chatting for some reason. Talking about these encounters, Jingjing became suspicious of the confessional image her husband brought back. After all, she had heard that
There are more weird rituals in Southeast Asia.
"This is the situation. Do you think something dirty has been messed up?"
After Zhang Ying finished talking about the bar owner's wife, she felt a little depressed as well. She picked up the water glass and drank the warm tea, pitying the three well-behaved kittens.
I looked at Chujiu. Chujiu frowned and said nothing. He picked up the tea and took a sip. He said that he didn't have anything to drink to satisfy himself.
"Why don't you come with me and have a look? Maybe it's not a problem in this area. You can rest assured if you go and take a look."
Zhang Ying saw that Chujiu and I hadn't spoken for a long time, so she thought there was some difficulty in this matter, but we couldn't guess the specific reason.
"Are you not willing to do this favor for your sister?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Zhang Ying poured a glass of water again with some boredom, saying that Jingjing is a super beauty, we will like her at a glance, and she is definitely no worse than the cows in our mouths.
"You've never met Teacher Ding, how do you know you're not worse than her?"
Chujiu, who had been frowning in thought for a long time, finally rolled his eyes and responded to Zhang Ying.
"I guessed that Jingjing is quite that big."
Zhang Ying made an exaggerated gesture with her hands on her chest.
"Sister, when did you become as boring as Zhang Feng and the others? I'm thinking about business."
Chujiu curled her lips and muttered why the men and women she knew were so superficial, and then asked if we had ever heard of a saying: Cats have nine lives.
The bar owner's wife is also lucky because she adopted several grateful kittens for a kind act.
Chujiu guessed that the three kittens used their lives to help the proprietress ward off the evil spirit. As for the cat that ran away, Chujiu guessed that there might be other reasons.
According to Chu Jiu, the statue brought back by the bar owner's husband was simply a domino popular among Southeast Asian cults.
As the carrier of ghosts, dominoes were used by wizards, and they did bring some unexpected benefits to people at first. This was the reason why the bar's business suddenly boomed.
As for why it returned to normal later, firstly, it was because the energy of the ghost was almost exhausted and needed to be replenished, and secondly, the wizards of the cult thought that it was time to harvest and began to intensify their efforts to seek benefits for themselves.
Chujiu guessed that the husband of the bar owner, who was far away in Southeast Asia, was currently being blackmailed by a wizard in a new round.
Chujiu didn't know much about the sorcery in Southeast Asia. Apart from some records in the books left by his master, it was the stories his uncle told him.
As for the simple witchcraft of dominoes, Chujiu did know a little bit about it, it was just some evil tricks to raise ghosts.
The reason why Chujiu meditated for so long was because he was thinking about a question.
This again involves matters outside Southeast Asia. Should I deal with it on my own, or should I consult Wanli first?
Later, when Chujiu thought about the mission in Yunnan, Wan Li clearly told him that overseas missions have a certain definition, which means that there are actual carriers from abroad that invade our territory.
As for the dominoes in the house of the bar owner, they are just an object brought back from abroad. They have no actual carrier and cannot meet the requirements of the department for intervention. Of course, it will be a different matter after a murder occurs.
"Sister, can we really go to McDonald's before we work?"
