Chapter 199 Bone Cat Cave (6)

"Lie." Before I could speak, Brother Wei spit out these two words sullenly.

Old Madam Wu's complexion changed.

Brother Wei added: "You have a smell, the smell of Maoerdong."

As soon as he reminded me, when I smelled it, Mrs. Wu really had a very strong smell on her body. Brother Wei and I also got this smell on our bodies because we rolled around in the Maoer Cave.

I immediately realized that I had caught the wrong person, the one who hit us in the cat hole just now was Mrs. Wu.

In an instant, I was stunned and said to myself: This old lady is amazing, how can a person of such an age run faster than a rabbit?
Seeing that the lie was exposed, Mrs. Wu stopped moaning, showing apology on her face, and said: "I didn't see it was you just now, I thought it was the person who was trying to trick the cat. My cat is too fat, and someone always wants to mess with it." It eats meat."

Brother Wei said: "Your cat is not an ordinary cat, it's alive."

Granny Wu said, "It's just an ordinary cat."

Brother Wei glanced at me, squatted down, and asked Granny Wu: "Did you light up the white plants in the cave?"

Granny Wu pretended to be stupid, and said, "What white plant?" The clothes on her chest were bulging, obviously hiding something, but the other party was an elderly person, and she was a woman, so I couldn't take her clothes off. Rob it?
Besides, those bone grasses are ownerless, and whoever gets them will own them. If Brother Wei and I rob an old man by force, what will we do?

After thinking about it for a while, I changed the subject and said, "Grandma Wu, didn't I hurt you just now, did I? If there's anything wrong, let's go to the hospital as soon as possible, and don't mention anything else."

Granny Wu glanced at me and said, "I'm fine, I'm in good health."

I said: "That's good, I'll help you up." Probably seeing that my attitude changed too quickly, Mrs. Wu looked puzzled and seemed a little vigilant.I said in my heart: I can't be rough on you as an old man, but it's okay for me to use stereotypes.

So while helping her to walk back, I said, "You should have that bone-like grass in your arms, right? Don't worry, we won't snatch it, but I have a friend who is a doctor, I think Bring some samples to him, can you sell some to me then?"

Old lady Wu saw that my attitude was pleasant and didn't beat around the bush. She seemed to relax a little, and said: "It's fine, you don't need to buy it, just give it to you, but it may be useless."

While speaking, she stretched her hand into her arms and grabbed a handful of bone grass.

Strangely, the previously white grass turned dark yellow at this moment.

Grandma Wu said: "I call it Maoercao. The first time I discovered this kind of grass, it was my family Rhubarb who brought me to find it. This grass is only found in Mao'er Cave. It only grows once every ten years. It only takes 10 minutes every time. After a few minutes, the color turns yellow, and nothing works."

It only grows once every ten years?
Only exist for 10 minutes at a time?This plant is too strange.

I said, "So, you discovered this grass ten years ago?"

When Granny Wu heard the words, she took a deep look at me and said, "It's not just ten years, I discovered it a long time ago."

Brother Wei asked, "How early?"

But Granny Wu didn't speak, but stuffed a handful of yellowed cat's grass into my hand, and said, "This kind of grass is very miraculous. Although it's past the time, it's useless now, but you can Show it to your doctor friend."

I grabbed the grass, which was getting yellower and yellower in my hand, and put it away, and the three of them walked into Mao'er Cave again, intending to walk back across the mountain.While walking, I took out a metal ball and asked, "Where did this thing come from? Why is it in Mao'er Cave?"

Granny Wu shook her head and said, "I don't know, I seldom come to this place, and I only come in to pick cat grass when I'm sure. I don't know when and by whom this thing was put in. After finishing speaking, she sighed worryingly, and said: "It seems that the secret of this Maoer Cave cannot be kept."

I said, "Are you worried that someone will find the cat's grass?"

Granny Wu said: "Don't worry about it. After all, it grows only once in ten years, and it only lasts for 10 minutes. In the next ten years, it may not be so coincidental that someone will find it. What I am worried about is you..."

I was taken aback, and said, "Understood, you are worried that we will announce the efficacy of cat's grass? Such a good thing, if it can be used, it will be a good thing for everyone."

Granny Wu shook her head, and said, "Is it a good thing? It may not be a good thing, just look at me..." At this moment, her expression looked particularly lonely, and her old face revealed a kind of loneliness and heaviness, as if There is a heavy burden in my heart.

Brother Wei next to him heard the words and said: "Your old man is over 90 years old. You are in good health and can walk like flying. No matter how many people ask for it, you can't ask for it." The old blind cat knew it.

Hearing what Brother Wei said, Granny Wu took a deep look at him, then stopped suddenly, and said, "Let me tell you a story about Maoercao."

I was just getting what I wanted, so I immediately said, "You tell me, let's listen."

She began to slowly talk about the origin of the cat's grass.

Late Qing Dynasty.

The world is in chaos, bandits are everywhere, people everywhere are in dire straits, and blood flows like rivers.

In a place called Fangruo County, there was a big family who raised a young lady who could read and write well.

Born in troubled times, although he was born in a family with no worries about food and clothing, in the last years of the Qing government, corrupt officials were busy accumulating wealth everywhere. Many wealthy businessmen were accused of crimes and their properties were confiscated, and those properties naturally flowed into the hands of corrupt officials. .

The lives of ordinary people are also cheap. In order to suppress the rebellious army and kill chickens to warn monkeys, heavy punishments have been used everywhere. Minor crimes are punished with heavy punishments.

The young lady is deep in her boudoir, but she knows that the current wealth may be destroyed at any time, and in the chaotic world, life may be lost at any time, so she can't help but worry every day, and only hope that she and her family can live in peace.

The young lady was kind-hearted, and one day she went out to offer incense, and saw a skinny yellow cat in the jungle of the temple in the mountain, so she gave the yellow cat half a sesame seed cake.

The yellow cat ate half of the lady's cake, and seemed to know that this person could be a long-term meal ticket, so he followed the lady all the way, and finally, the lady took it in.

One day, the yellow cat was naughty and slipped out to play. The lady followed to find it, but she didn't want to follow the yellow cat's trail and walked into a cave.
There is a white snake coiled in the cave, the white snake is dead, and beside it lies a seriously injured yellow cat. Obviously, not long ago, there was a "dragon-tiger fight" here.

The white snake lost, and the lady's yellow cat won, but the yellow cat was covered in blood and dying, and it was not far from death.
