Chapter 12 A leopard Cat Eating Humans
“Oh, you
got something dirty?” I asked Miao Weiwei.
“It’s not
something dirty, but every night I get woken up by my cat, but when I look up, Iseeits
fierce eyes as if it is going to eat me.” As Miao Weiweispoke, she felt
terrible and couldn’t speak loudly.
“So why
not drive the cat away?” I asked Miao Weiwei.
“No, I
can’t. It’s a pure-bred Bengal Leopard Cat.I got it from France for more than
200,000 Yuan.It’s not like those rubbish cats raised by the common families.”Miao
Weiwei felt a little proud when she said so.
I asked
her how about the cat in the day time?
“It is verydocile
during the day time, and it only makes trouble in the evening.Every time Iwakeup,
Igetscared. I also asked someone, and hesaid it’s because of aghost in the
house thatthe cat wantsto bite me in the evening.The cat is possessed bythe
ghost’s spirit,”Miao Weiwei said.
I thought
it was a little absurd.Ihad also raised a leopard cat.It was the offspring ofa wild
leopard cat and a common cat. This cat was very scaryand half ameter long,so it
was normal when it wanted to bite you.
However,Miao
Weiwei kept on showing how rich she was. I wanted to rip her off now, since
this was a good chance.
I told
her: “What about this:Since my Yin and Yang Tattoocandrive out evil spirits and
repress ghosts, I will give you this tattoo, and I will give you afixed price without
bargaining because we were old classmates.Twenty thousand Yuan.”
“Twenty
thousand is fine. But my concern is whether yourYin and Yang Tattoo takes
effect or not.What if after I get this tattooI’ll have to suffer the terriblelooksfrom
my family and the cat will still want to eat me in the evenings when Iwakeup?”Miao
Weiwei said.
“How can thatbe?
I’m sure your cat will never giveyou any more trouble afteryou get this tattoo.”
I just gaveher my firm and solemn promise.
I felt so
confident just because of the words my master once told me.
My master
said that those who had a Yin and Yang Tattoo would never be attackedby
animals.
Because
animals, especially cows, dogs and cats, were very psychically-attuned, they
could see many things that peoplecouldn’t see.
Ifyou hada
Yin and Yang Tattoo on your body, it was a kind of ghost spirit, and cats would
justwant to run away when they seeit, so how could they be fierce to you?Even
the aggressive leopard cat was still a cat, so it wouldn’t dare show its teeth
to those with aYin and Yang Tattoo.
“Really?”Miao
Weiwei asked in reply, and then she said a few very disrespectful words: “Ijust
had to make sure.Iwouldn’t pay in vain though Iamrich. As my old classmate,it
would be shameful if you deceived me.”
I got
angry, but thinking that friendliness was conducive to successfulbusiness, I
just struggled to contain my rage and said: “Of course it’strue. Now, let me
give you the address.You willknow thatI would never deceive you when you come. We
areequally honest with both adultand child customers.”
“Ok, I
will come later.”
After
hanging up, I sent the address of my tattoo studio to Miao Weiwei.
After solving
this issue, I rode my electric bike directly to the tattoo studio. Ididn’tgo to
dig up the grave soil since Ialready had new business.Anyway, I would pay to
get it since digging up someone else’s grave would be a bad deed to mycredit in
the next world, and would also tire me out.
Mimi came
just when I opened the studio.She looked better today but felt a little nervous
I smiled
to her: “So how about it now, Mimi? You didn’t waste your money, right? You
look better today.”
Mimi
nodded quickly, saying that my tattoo really worked, but she said she still had
strange dreams. She told me: “My brother, I just remember that it was Xiao Bai
that I met in the dream, so did you think she would really kill me?”
I didn’t
know about this. Mimi got the oddities fromXiao Bai;nowXiao Bai didn’t peep on
her but still appeared in her dreams. This was abnormal, but I really didn’t
know what was causing that.
I told
her to be back first and not be afraid, she could wait for my materials and I
would color the red lotus Yakshaon her back to make a complete Yin and Yang
Tattoo, then she would fear nothing.
“All
right, brother, just be quick. Though it is only a dream, I get so frightened.”Mimiemphasized
this before she left.
I told
herI would keepthis in mind and act quickly.
I called Liu
the Sixthafter I sent Mimi away.
Liu the Sixthwas
a hard man ofnoble character, and I had to turn to him for the tomb soil and
the soul since he could collect them. He knew well the folk Taoist magic arts
and my previous master also turned to himfor the soul when he made Yin and Yang
Tattoos.
Several
months ago, he came to me once and asked me whether I wanted to do theYin and
Yang Tattoo business, and said I could buy the soul from him if I wanted so.
At thetime,
I didn’t take it seriously, but luckily I got his telephone number.
I took
out my phone and called Liu the Sixth. Over the phone, I heard himbreathing
heavily, and there was a woman besides him groaning or moaning continually. Anyonewould
know what he was doing there.
I just
wanted to hang up whenLiu the Sixthopened his mouth: “Are you Mr. Liao’s apprentice?
So, what’s up?”
