Chapter 9: Thirteen Yin and Yang


"That cat may have run out of a rich family, you are the security chief, you can watch and deal with it."

Zuo Dengfeng said to Cui Baochang.

He whispered with a witch heart, and he didn't want to go over to join in the fun.

"Leader Zuo, you better go over and take a look, that cat looks very strange, and the golden ring around its neck is so big."

Cui Baochang used the thumb and index finger of both hands to draw a circle the size of a bowl.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and opened his mouth to Wu Xinyu.

The reason why he wanted to go over and find out was not because of the gold collar around the cat's neck, but because he was curious about what was unusual about the cat, so that Cui Baochang said several times that it looked strange.

Wu Xinyu naturally did not go against Zuo Dengfeng's meaning, raised his hand to lower his hat, and walked back with Zuo Dengfeng.

"This is the leader from the county, everyone listens to him."

Cui Baochang took Zuo Dengfeng back to the place where the villagers gathered and introduced Zuo Dengfeng to everyone.

When the onlookers heard this, they immediately stopped making noise and stared at Zuo Dengfeng waiting for him to speak.

"I'll take a look at the cat first."

Zuo Dengfeng coughed twice and said.

In fact, he is not a leader, Cui Baochang is purely chasing ducks to the shelves.

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately gave way to the road, Cui Baochang led Zuo Dengfeng to the door of a farmhouse, the farmhouse is an adobe house, there are only three rooms, the outside of the yard is built with mountain stones to build a chicken coop, the chicken coop is four or five steps square, covered with thatch, the back is against the courtyard wall, the left and right are plugged with thorns, the south is the feeding place, a forty-year-old rural woman is holding a kitchen knife standing outside the chicken coop and an old lame man with a shovel confronts each other angrily.

"You both heard it, this is the leader from the county, he is here to deal with this matter, and he will do whatever he says."

Cui Baochang shouted at a man and a woman in front of the chicken coop.

Both of them had angry faces at this time, and after hearing Cui Baochang's words, they all set their eyes on Zuo Dengfeng.

Zuo Dengfeng glanced at the lame man expressionlessly, and then walked over to the woman with the kitchen knife in her hand.

The woman saw Zuo Dengfeng's serious expression, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

This scene made Zuo Dengfeng secretly amused, although he was not a leader, he often came into contact with leaders, and he knew very well that those leaders with a straight face were more awe-inspiring than easy-going leaders.

After the woman with the kitchen knife got out of the way, Zuo Dengfeng turned his gaze to the chicken coop.

At a glance, I saw a furry animal curled up in the corner of the chicken coop.

The moment he saw the animal, Zuo Dengfeng determined that it was a feline, and the reason why it was said to be a feline and not a cat was because although it looked very similar to a tanuki and had the same coat color, it was much larger than an ordinary cat.

Zuo Dengfeng thought of the lynx again, but then he was denied by himself, although this feline is much larger than the domestic cat, but smaller than the lynx, the weight of the lynx can reach seventy or eighty pounds, and the body length is mostly more than one meter, although this feline is curled up, but Zuo Dengfeng judged that its body length will not exceed eighty centimeters, and there is no black bristles unique to the lynx on its ears.

There is also the fact that this feline is very thin, it is best described as skinny and bone, with a shriveled abdomen, skinny bones, a body length of seventy or eighty centimeters, and a weight of never more than ten catties, Zuo Dengfeng has never seen an animal so thin that it can still live.

Zuo Dengfeng carefully observed the feline before moving his gaze to the collar on its neck, the collar is as thick as a pen, the style is extremely ordinary, the whole body is round, and there is no carving, the material is absolutely gold, Zuo Dengfeng judged that the collar is gold is analyzed from two angles of weight and luster, the thickness of the collar of the pen can barely raise its head, which shows that it is very heavy, common gold, lead, tin and other metals are very dense, but only gold is yellow.

"Who do you want to kill, put down the knife" Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at the fierce woman holding the kitchen knife, Zuo Dengfeng hated women very much, so he spoke to the widow politely.

People are always in awe of things they don't understand, the widow heard the chief say that Zuo Dengfeng is the leader of the county, but she didn't know how powerful Zuo Dengfeng was, and when she saw him speak, she immediately threw away the kitchen knife in her hand.

Zuo Dengfeng then turned his head to look at the lame man, and the lame man threw away the shovel in horror when he saw this.

"Get the cat up."

Zuo Dengfeng found the feeling of being a leader, and turned his head to open his mouth to Cui Baochang.

Cui Baochang saw that Zuo Dengfeng suppressed Widow Cui and Zheng Cripple as soon as he came up, and couldn't help but admire him greatly, and after hearing his words, he immediately beckoned a few young juniors to jump into the chicken coop and lift the big cat out.

"It bit your chicken" Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at the cripple and the widow, the big cat was extremely thin, and it couldn't even stand on its feet after being brought out by everyone, Zuo Dengfeng was very skeptical that it could bite the chickens of these two people.

"It got into my coop."

Widow Cui bowed her head and muttered.

"One of my chickens died."

Cripple Zheng muttered quietly.

"It burrows into your coop and doesn't bite your chicken, which is an attempted crime.

If your chicken dies and you can't prove that it bit it, it's not enough evidence.

So this cat can't be owned by you personally, it has to be disposed of by the village.

Zuo Dengfeng looked around at the two of them and spoke.

"The leader is the leader, or the people in the county have insight, what the leader of the left said is right, and I think this is fair," everyone immediately agreed when they heard it, so that everyone can share the benefits, and the fool does not agree.

"Chief Cui, take off the collar around the cat's neck and distribute it uniformly in the village, these two people have merit, and they will have an extra share when the time comes."

Zuo Dengfeng spoke again.

"Listen to the leader of the left."

Cui Baochang couldn't help but nod heavily.

The widow and the lame man, who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, also agreed when they heard Zuo Dengfeng say this.

This scene made Zuo Dengfeng smile bitterly and shook his head, the sentence in the historical records, "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit" is really the same reason for the ages.

"Cui Baochang, it doesn't seem that the Taoist temple where I live is very clean, and there is always strange movement at night, can you call a few people to take turns to come over and be a companion with me" Zuo Dengfeng turned to look at Cui Baochang.

As soon as Zuo Dengfeng said this, Cui Baochang was immediately dumbfounded, and the villagers who were already noisy immediately quieted down, silent.

"Forget it, I'm not too strong, but there is always a yin wind in that temple at night, biting cold, my quilt is very thin, can you give me a bed" Zuo Dengfeng saw this and hurriedly changed his conditions, his previous sentence was purely to scare people, his purpose was not to have people as companions but to have quilts, if one or two people jumped out at this time and promised to go over to be with him, it was him who cried.

As soon as Zuo Dengfeng said this, Cui Baochang immediately beckoned his son to go home and hug the quilt, while he stayed where he was, directing the younger child to pull the collar from the cat's neck.

The descendants got the instructions of the chief, and immediately pressed the big skinny cat and began to toss, several attempts, the big cat who dragged it screamed repeatedly, the hair was flying, but the collar did not take it off, the root cause was that the head of the big cat was much larger than the collar.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing this scene, Zuo Dengfeng hurriedly spoke out to stop the reckless behavior of those later generations.

After a few more tosses, the dying big cat had to be dragged off its head.

"Leader Zuo, why can't you take it down," Cui Baochang asked eagerly.

At this time, he cares more about the gold collar than anyone else, this collar is pure gold, at present, one tael of gold can be roughly exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for an ocean and more than 20 coppers, if this collar is exchanged for an ocean, everyone in the whole village can share a lot, and as a security chief, no one will be held accountable for his secret corruption.

"This collar was put on by the cat when he was a child, and when the cat grows up, the collar can't be taken off."

Zuo Dengfeng looked at the big cat lying on the ground with only weak breath, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs in its abdomen, Zuo Dengfeng even wondered if it was dead.

"Bolt the pillar, cut off its head."

Cui Baochang shouted at a silly junior, who immediately stepped forward to pick up the kitchen knife that Widow Cui had thrown away earlier.

Just after Cui Baochang said that he was going to cut off the big cat's head, the big cat raised his head with difficulty to look at the people standing around it, and finally moved his gaze to Zuo Dengfeng, although its eyes were already dull, but Zuo Dengfeng still saw helplessness and pleading in it.

"Don't kill it, find a way to spare its life."

Zuo Dengfeng hurriedly spoke to stop it.

"I have a file at home, I'll go back and get it."

Someone in the crowd shouted, and after the shout, a figure disappeared, and the speed of running made Zuo Dengfeng secretly surprised, this speed can go up the mountain to chase rabbits.

Soon, the two people with the quilt and the file came back, Zuo Dengfeng took the quilt, and found that Cui Baochang, who was reluctant to invite himself to lunch, actually asked his son to go home and get a new quilt for himself.

The gold was soft, and the collar was quickly broken by a file, and the crowd took it off and cheered like madness.

"Let's go."

Zuo Dengfeng opened his mouth to Wu Xinyu, who was waiting beside him.

Everyone only has gold in their eyes at the moment, and he is the leader of the year.

"Take it with you, and be my companion."

Wu Xinyu stretched out his hand and pointed to the big cat lying on the ground with more breath and less breath.

"What to feed it," Zuo Dengfeng asked with a frown.

He didn't let people cut off its head just because of a moment of mercy, but if you take it away, you have to try to feed it, and the cat will definitely not gnaw on the head of the nest and eat sweet potatoes.

"There are fish in the pond."

After Wu Xinyu finished speaking, he stepped forward and picked up the dying big cat.

Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng didn't say anything anymore, turned around and left the crowd, and Wu Xinyu followed behind with the big cat in his arms.

After not taking a few steps, Cui Baochang called out to him again.

"Leader Zuo, look at the words written on this, I don't know any of them" Cui Baochang arched out of the crowd, holding the collar that was taken from the big cat's neck in his hand.

Zuo Dengfeng took the collar when he heard this, and found that there were four words written on the inside of the collar, and after struggling to distinguish these words, Zuo Dengfeng was stunned.

"Leader Zuo, whose cat is this" Cui Baochang snatched the collar from the stunned Zuo Dengfeng.

"If you don't have a master, don't worry."

Zuo Dengfeng reacted and replied casually.

When Cui Baochang heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease and tried his best to invite Zuo Dengfeng and Wu Xinyu to his house as guests, but Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and refused.

Declining the invitation of the security chief, Zuo Dengfeng shifted his gaze to the big cat in Wu Xinyu's arms.

"Why don't I know the words on the collar" Wu Xinyu asked, Zuo Dengfeng had been checking the collar for a long time before, and Wu Xinyu also glanced at it.

"It was a font between the oracle bone script and the seal style, which was used at the end of the Zhou Dynasty and was replaced by the seal style in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

Zuo Dengfeng replied with a frown.

The collar around the neck of this big cat was put on when it was a child, and the more reasonable explanation is that later generations have put the collar on its neck in recent years, but this is unlikely, because even the rich family will not put so much gold on the cat's neck to swagger, and besides, this guy does not look like a domestic pet.

In addition, there is another explanation, that is, it appeared at the same time as this collar, and if this is the case, then it has lived for nearly 3,000 years, which is beyond the life span of animals, and completely violates the laws of nature.

"What are those four words?"

Wu Xinyu's question interrupted Zuo Dengfeng's thoughts.

"I can only get a rough idea, I'm not sure."

Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and spoke.

"What do you feel?"

asked Wu Xinyu curiously.
