just a tabby cat

Chapter 7 Meow, It's a Basilisk

At night, everything is quiet, and Liu Xiangshen's small courtyard is still brightly lit, and a bearded man with a team of yamen servants stands at the gate of the courtyard and lectures, "Basically, the children in the town are sent to the surrounding towns, but we can't relax!"

After speaking, the bearded man watched everyone's faces flickering under the light of the torch, but without exception, they all had serious faces.

In Taiping Town, the number of children abducted in just ten days has reached 15. All the people present either had missing children from their families, or had children from acquaintances.Everyone wanted to find the child as soon as possible, even if it was just a corpse, it was a kind of comfort.

One of the yamen servants of "Niu Tutou" held up a torch and said to the bearded man standing above him, "Shall we guard Liu Xiangshen's place tonight?"

"Tonight, most of us will stay here. Wang Mazi, you take four of us to patrol the town," Niu Butou bowed his head and thought for a while and replied.

"Cheer up, everyone. The children in the house stayed with Liu Xiangshen in case of accidents on the road as it was getting late." After saying these words, Niu Catcher paused.

"We can't lose our children anymore." Then he continued with a heavy tone of voice, "The other two are patrolling the courtyard, Lao Qian, you and I will guard the door together."

Following Niu Tuotou's order, everyone dispersed with torches, each performing their duties.

The catcher named Laoqian tightened his crotch knife and walked towards Niu Butou.He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Niu, don't worry, the Maverick is smart, and if he didn't see any blood, that's a good thing."

After Niu Butou heard this, he raised his hand to wipe his face, tried to move the corners of his mouth, and then made a bitter face, "Brother Qian, I won't hide it from you, that guy from my family these two days..." After speaking, he sighed in a low voice.

After hearing this, Lao Qian patted him on the back heavily, "Don't worry, the government has already sent people to reinforce, whether it's a human or a ghost, you have to show your true colors."

After hearing this, Niu Butou didn't respond. He leaned against the pillar next to him, with a firm face on his face, "We have to protect the dolls in this room. All the children in the town have been sent away. It's approaching evening." I don’t know if it’s good or bad when it’s delivered to my door.”

After hearing Niu Tuotou's words, Lao Qian just sighed in a low voice, "This doll looks rich and honored, I hope it's a lucky one."

The two looked at each other, and then hid in the shadow of the colonnade without making a sound.

In the house, everyone and the cat had already eaten and drank their fill. Situ Qi was full of stomach, facing up, rubbing her belly with both hands arched from left to right, "Sister Lihua, this is the most satisfying meal I have eaten in the past few days." , I feel that after this meal, I can go hungry for two more days, no, I can’t take more than one day.”

Li Hua lay down on her side, hiccupped, then raised her left front paw and patted her mouth lightly, meowed lazily, with a trace of disgust in her eyes, "Look at you, wait until you catch the thief who stole the child." , it doesn't guarantee that your journey will be smooth sailing'

After Situ Qi half-guessed and half-guessed what Li Hua meant, she grinned and giggled, as if she had seen large ingots of silver ingots flying towards him.

"Meow" Lihua lazily called to him, "It's time to sleep."

"Oh oh oh" Situ Qi patted her face, "Yes, it's time to go to sleep, and keep your spirits up so that you can catch the thief."

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves in the yard rattled in the direction of the wind.The patrolling teams in the small courtyard were distributed in every corner in an orderly manner. Occasionally, the torches could be seen tottering to and fro by the wind, but the flames still turned into raging flames once the wind passed by.

"Meow" Li Hua turned over and stood up in the room, walked gently to Situ Qi's side, stretched out her paws to push him awake.

"Who?" Situ Qi opened her sleepy eyes and took a look, then closed her eyes, "Sister Lihua, it's not dawn yet, let me sleep again."

Li Hua stretched out her paw after hearing this, and patted Situ Qi's stomach heavily.

"Ah, it hurts so much, sister Lihua, what are you doing?" Situ Qi got up from the bed, rubbed her stomach with her hands, her face was full of sorrow.

"Meow" Lihua raised her paw and pointed out the window, "Something is coming." '

Situ Qi heard that Li Hua's tone was wrong, so she hurriedly woke up from her confusion, and began to search for her purse, and took out a white jade bottle from it, holding it tightly in her hand, "Sister Li Hua, the bad guy is here, right?"

"Meow" Li Hua called out, with a serious tone, 'It's not human. '

"Not a human?" Situ Qi exclaimed, "What could that be? Could it really be a ghost with resentment like the grandfather driving the car said?"

Li Hua sideways protected Situ Qi behind her to prevent him from getting hurt, then glanced at his purse and meowed, "Take another jade bottle"

"Oh oh oh!" After Situ Qi understood her words, she took out a much better cyan jade bottle from her purse.Hold the two jade bottles tightly in the palm of your hand.

After seeing Situ Qi's movements, Li Hua arched her back upwards as if to attack.Then his eyes were fixed on the door and he didn't move.

"Ah!" There was a shrill cry of pain from outside the house, and then a dull sound of a large object falling to the ground.

After a series of sounds, the courtyard returned to its original calm.

"What happened?" Niu Tuotou stepped out of the shadows and asked his subordinates who were running from all directions.

"Head, head..." One of the yamen servants breathed a little unsteadily, and his voice was filled with fear, "Snake...snake...a snake...throwing Wang Er into the sky...God!"

Before the bull caught the head's reaction, another yamen servant said, "I...I saw it. One is as thick as a man, and two...two-headed snakes...snakes."

After speaking, there was a moment of silence in the yard.Then all the yamen servants began to tell each other what they saw.

Niu Butou took a deep breath, and then shouted "Everyone, don't panic!" Waiting for everyone's attention to be on him, he continued, "Everyone light up the torches, hold the knife in your hand, and get ready. Children Our lives are in our hands."

After everyone heard this, a long line lined up at the door, their eyes fixed on the courtyard door, the knife in their hand was tightly held, sweat dripped down their temples and into their eyes, but they remained motionless.

They were all excited about the possibility of catching anything that stole the child. Even though they were initially controlled by fear, but now they might be able to save the child, that fear was deeply buried in their hearts.

"Here we come." Niu Butou stood in front of the team, holding a knife tightly in his hand, and shouted in a low voice.

With the sound of the cow catching the head, the two pairs of eyes as big as lanterns flickered in the darkness, accompanied by the sound of hissing and sticking out the tongue, and the sound of rustling and crawling on the ground, the figure was getting closer and closer.

Until a strange snake about as thick as a person, about six feet long, sticking out its scarlet tongue, with two heads swam in front of it, and everyone's legs trembled slightly.

"Hahaha" A yin and yang laughter came out of one of the snake mouths, "You mortals still want to stop me."

"Hahaha" followed by a baby-like sharp voice coming from another snake's mouth, "What's the point of talking to them, as long as we grab the doll inside, we're done."

"You're right." The yin-like snake head stuck out its tongue, bringing out a gust of wind.

"Old Qian and I attacked the snake head together, and the others acted according to their own circumstances." Niu Butou gave an order, and took Lao Qian to attack first.

Seeing this, the other people shook the knives in their hands, threw the torches in their hands towards the snake, and then rushed forward with the knives in hand.

For a while, there was only the sound of knives cutting scales, the wind of people being rolled up by the snake's tail, and the sound of bones and internal organs being broken when people were thrown to the ground.

Looking at the tragic situation outside through the crack of the door, Li Hua meowed softly and shook her head,
This basilisk has not yet become a monster, and there is still a chance, so it is no wonder that it will kidnap the child, probably to make final preparations for becoming a monster.Those kidnapped children are still safe now, Situ Qi should be their last target and they will be able to become a pill.

Li Hua thought for a while, if this continues, the government servants outside the door will definitely be buried here, it seems that they can only go deep into the tiger's den, after making a decision, Li Hua meowed at Situ Qi, and pointed her paw out of the window .

Situ Qi watched Li Hua's movements, swallowed, and moved her trembling legs, "I... I'm a little scared."

"Meow" Li Hua called to him, with determination in his eyes, "Don't be afraid, I will go with you, and I will protect you." '

Situ Qi glanced at the yamen servant who was almost on the ground outside, and shook the jade bottle on her hand, "Sister Lihua, I believe you."

After finishing speaking, he moved a bench, put it under the window, followed Li Hua and jumped out of the window.

As soon as "Meow" stood still, Li Hua yelled sharply at the basilisk waving its tail, "Basilisk, come and catch me." '

The basilisk stopped and threw the servant wrapped around its tail heavily on the ground, then crawled towards Li Hua and Situ Qi with its tongue out.

As soon as she got close, the snake tail wrapped around Situ Qi, and then swam out of the courtyard relentlessly.

Seeing this, Li Hua followed closely behind the basilisk and left together.

Niu Tuotou put the knife on the ground, struggled to get up from the ground, looked at the outside of the courtyard, and tears flowed from his eyes. He didn't even keep the child who broke into the town by mistake. The next moment, his body fell heavily on the ground, unconscious personnel.
