    Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Cat Ghost (15)

    Double standards

    It was like a vacuum package being punctured instantly, and fresh air rushed in. Chu Yu clutched his chest and breathed in wildly.

    She subconsciously touched her body, the thin muscles, the complete limbs. She was sitting here, now an unknown actor, discussing old things with her mother’s old colleagues.

    “How about it? How much do you know about her? What’s her last name?” Chu Yu said nervously, holding the clothes on his chest.

    Xu Yufang half-squinted her eyes. She stood up and went out. After a while, she took a bowl of water and three chopsticks and carefully placed them in front of Chu Yu.

    “Don’t exorcise me, I’m not possessed! Tell me what happened.” Chu Yu said irritably. She stood up and wanted to leave, but Xu Cheng pinned her down on the chair.

    “Don’t move! Believe my mother, she is also a famous semi-immortal within ten miles.” Xu Cheng shouted and used 100% of his strength on his hands. Chu Yu felt that his shoulders had sunk deeply into his body.

    Xu Yufang raised the first chopstick. She muttered something in her mouth, and then she gently let go of her hand. The chopstick stood upright in the bowl without any support!

    Xu Yufang frowned, and then she inserted a second chopstick, obviously more carefully this time. After inserting it, she continued to talk quickly, and Xu Cheng explained in a low voice.

    “This is a way to cure yin diseases. If you insert the first chopstick and it doesn’t fall over, it means there is a ghost on you. Then insert the second chopstick. This is to ask about the method of death. When asked, stand still, otherwise it will fall down.”

    However, no matter how Xu Yufang tried to die, the chopsticks stood upright, rolling through the eighteen levels of hell and standing in the bowl like steel bars.

    “The third one is to send it away with water and rice…” Xu Cheng couldn’t help but get closer.

    Xu Yufang summoned up all her strength, with veins running along her neck. She inserted the third chopstick into the bowl with all her strength, holding a small ball of rice in her hand, and then said in a trembling voice: “My mother’s rice bowl, I will sweep you away from Sanqianmen!”

    The rice fell into the water and broke into pieces, but the three chopsticks remained motionless, as if they were rooted there.

    The room was dimly lit, Chu Yu sank drowsily in the chair, and his nose was filled with the scent of rose sanitary incense stick used by the elderly.

    For a moment, Xu Yufang’s face changed drastically. She suddenly picked up a kitchen knife and slashed wildly around the rice and rice. Xu Cheng almost had his nose cut off. She leaned back and rushed forward to hug her mother: “The ghost is possessed! Help me catch Chu Yu!”

    “Your grandpa’s legs! I wasn’t caught! This thing won’t leave, I want to drive it away!” Xu Yufang’s face turned red as she held up the kitchen knife.

    The dog in the yard thought its owner was being attacked, and was so anxious that it had no choice but to bark. It was all over the place. Chu Yu slumped down on a chair, looking at the three chopsticks that were like fragrant threads, and shed a tear.

    She curled up and covered her head, and wiped away the tears on her face in a panic. Her eyes were dim with tears, and her chopsticks seemed to shake a bit.

    “Let me ask you one last time, am I the person you are looking for?” Chu Yu asked with a trembling voice, pointing at the chopsticks.

    The chopsticks shook slightly and fell down in the direction of the door.

    Li Heru never showed up, and the filming came to an end.

    Chu Yu also kept an eye on Huang Xia’s actions while filming. From that day on, she took charge of cleaning the cattery. Chu Yu often had to check it carefully after she finished cleaning.

    However, there are no mistakes.

    Huang Xia is honest, gentle, and good at work. Several staff members praised her greatly.

    At noon that day, Chu Yu walked out of the lounge with a lunch box and saw Huang Xia sitting in the corner eating a lunch box.

    Han Ci was generous and provided lunch boxes equally to the leading actors, staff and even volunteers.

    Today I had mutton stewed with radish, served with a portion of stir-fried cabbage sum and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The mutton in Huang Xia’s box lunch was intact, but the side dishes were completely eaten.

    “You don’t eat mutton?” Chu Yu sat down next to her and raised his eyebrows while looking at her rice. Huang Xia raised her eyes and smiled slightly: “Mutton is a fat food, so you can’t eat it.”

    Chu Yu paused for a moment and looked at her face. Only then did she notice that Huang Xia was wearing a mask when eating. She took a bite and opened it, lest anyone see her face.

    “You like cats, have you ever seen cat diseases?” In her confused eyes, Huang Xia took off her mask.

    Dense annular blisters covered her lips, and a large area of ​​skin had ulcerated. The small red spots she saw around the bridge of her nose last time were also erupting, and the blush began to spread around her.

    Chu Yu took a breath and subconsciously looked around. There was no one else in this corner except her and Huang Xia.

    Huang Xia put her mask back on, and sat inside with her meal: “Are you afraid? This was transmitted to me by the cat. You all feel sorry for the cat, why doesn’t anyone feel sorry for me?”

    “It’s getting worse and worse. No matter how I treat it, it’s useless. The director saw my face and was afraid that I would infect the students. He told me to go home and stay there. When I am cured, I can go back.”

    Huang Xia poked the rice in the lunch box with her chopsticks. The rice grains flew and a hole was poked in the corner of the plastic lunch box. The red soup dripped down the corner. She looked at the soup indifferently.

    “Some cats will vomit blood when they die. The blood drips like this. I wiped it on my arm, but it doesn’t work. It spreads like crazy. Doesn’t it mean that folk remedies work?

    Why were there only a few at first, but now they are spread all over the body?Like cockroaches, you can’t kill them all, you can’t kill them all.”

    She suddenly raised her head and came to Chu Yu’s face with wide eyes: “Don’t you like cats? Why don’t you like its disease? If the cat is sick, you can save it at any cost, but if I am sick, you say I deserve to be accused of messing around? Why?”

    Chu Yu was too shocked for a moment, and then she remembered that it was during the school year. If Huang Xia had not been suspended, she would not have time to volunteer every day.

    She was silent for a moment and considered: “There is no way to treat it if you go to a dermatology department in a big hospital. If it is contagious, why do you need to volunteer on the set? It will not be good for your condition.”

    Huang Xia smiled coldly and pulled up her sleeves. There was almost no good skin on her arm, and it was covered with red annular patches, some of which were almost healed, and some of which had newly sprouted. They were like a mushroom field, full of large and small mushroom circles.

    “You don’t understand, don’t bother me anymore, don’t bother me.” Huang Xia put down her sleeves, put the unfinished meal in the trash can, got up and left.

    “Director Han, do you know what the red spots that appear on a person’s skin after being infected by a cat are? They are circular and have blisters.” During the break, Chu Yu stepped forward and asked Han Ci.

    “Cat moss, a fungal infection, is either a serious disease, or it tends to recur and is contagious. People and cats with low immunity will be infected.

    I love stray cats. There are so many cats in my yard, and they are all taken good care of by me. None of them have that kind of thing, so don’t worry.”Han Ci saw Chu Yu’s expression changed drastically, thinking that she was worried about being infected, so he reached out and patted her.

    Chu Yu suddenly raised his hand and said with a serious expression: “Please suspend the afternoon shooting, and now quickly summon the staff to check the skin of all cats.”

    The tea cup in Han Ci’s hand trembled.

    Half an hour later.

    There were a total of 84 cats of all sizes in the shooting location, including 29 kittens. All the kittens were infected and no one was spared. There were several big cats with low immunity. The veterinarian also found fluorescent green traces of unique cat moss on their necks, tail tips and other hidden parts.

    The doctor came over with a Wood’s lamp, and her expression was a little solemn. Although cat moss is a minor disease, if cat moss occurs in such a place where humans and cats are densely packed, the speed of its spread should not be underestimated.

    In particular, the Korean director filmed a documentary about scientific pet care to promote scientific pet care, but it turned out that his cat rescue center was overrun with cat moss, which is ridiculous to say the least.

    Huang Xia had disappeared long ago, and the staff only found a torn volunteer vest from her lounge. Under the illumination of Wood’s lamp, the vest showed dense fluorescent green, like forest fireflies.

    This is the color of spores. Everyone around them held their breath. Director Han clenched her fists. After a long time, she took a deep breath: “Stop filming first and invite all the pet doctors we can find.”

    She turned to look at her assistant: “Contact my lawyer as soon as possible.”

    Nests of kittens were picked up by pet doctors, who were collecting equipment here and catching cats there. Chu Yu walked through the chaos. She wanted to find Huang Xia and ask her why she was like this.

    She took a taxi in front of the set and returned to the village.

    The door of Huang Xia’s house was closed. She pursed her lips and slapped the door hard. The sound was deafening. Several nearby families had moved away and no one could hear her.

    When the door didn’t open, she kicked the door of Huang’s house again.

    The door bolt was old, and she kicked it apart. The door opened wide, and there was no one in the Huang family’s yard. The flower bed at the door was smashed to the ground, and the soil was scattered all over the ground.

    Chu Yu stepped on the fresh mud and walked in. When she reached the door of the small dark room, footsteps appeared behind her, very light and fragile.

    “I won’t suffer any physical pain, and the things you are looking for are already dead.” Huang Xia said quietly.

    Chu Yu turned around. Huang Xia was not wearing a mask. The blisters on her face were even more frightening in the sunlight. She pursed her lips and her eyes were dark. She was completely different from when Chu Yu first saw her.

    When his eyes dropped, Chu Yu’s heart was squeezed tightly, a ray of silver light flashed, and Huang Xia held a knife in her hand.

    “Now, kill this cat and I will let you go, otherwise…” Huang Xia threw a cloth bag at her. The bag shook left and right, and there seemed to be a living thing squirming inside.

    Inside the bag was a cat, cow-spotted, with its four legs tightly tied together by hemp ropes. It was already swollen due to lack of blood circulation, and if it was strangled any longer, it might lead to amputation.

    Chu Yu grabbed the cat without hesitation, but the hemp rope was difficult to untie. As soon as her hand touched the rope, she felt a chill on her neck.

    “I said, kill it, otherwise you will die.” Huang Xia’s voice was cold, and no emotion could be heard.

    Chu Yu’s heart dropped with a thud. She slowly tilted her head. Huang Xia handed her a knife. It was short, small, and covered with rust.

    “This knife can’t kill it, change it to a sharp one.” She said calmly.

    “It only hurts when you kill someone with a dull knife, don’t you understand?” Huang Xia stretched her hand forward, and Chu Yu felt the knife on his neck getting a little closer, stinging slightly, like being bitten by a mosquito.

    She took the knife, put it on the kitten, and rubbed it twice with the cat’s hair. She raised her eyebrows and said, “You won’t kill me.”

    The man behind him paused, and then the knife went a little deeper. This time blood flowed out, a little hot and a little cold.

    “Because you are a coward. Killing and abusing cats is all because of the crime of damaging property. But murder is different. A fixed-term prison sentence, a life sentence, or the death penalty. Which one do you prefer?”

    Chu Yu spoke very slowly, but said every word clearly.
