Chapter 74 The Cat Ghost
I asked Feng Chunsheng: “Brother Chun, what’s that on you?”
“I will pay for Qinghua’s tattoo… You can deduct it from my salary,” he said.
Though he was trying to control his emotions, I could still feel… he was very depressed, and was even lightly sobbing.
I knew Feng Chunsheng was shaking and restraining himself from crying.
Maybe Liu Qinghua and Brother Feng’s story resonated too much with Feng Chunsheng… I knew Feng Chunsheng had a family and a baby. His wife was very good to him but she died. I thought Liu Qinghua’s story reminded him of his own tragedy, and he was so moved he wanted to pay for Liu Qinghua.
Liu Qinghua said in a hurry: “I have enough money, Brother. Thank you for your help.”
“Yes, Yes. I will pay this for you.” Feng Chunsheng said: “It is just because of vivid lives like yours that love has always existed in people’s imagination and their conversations, so I will pay… Please don’t persuade me anymore.”
I smiled and said: “Well, Brother Chun, I won’t charge for the tattoo this time… It is only a tattoo.”
I, too, would have liked to be a witness to their second love, and enjoyed this moment.
I finished the tattoo for Liu Qinghua very quickly.
Then I told her: “Have a good dream. Brother Feng will appear in your dream.”
“Thank you, Mr. Yu and your brother,” Liu Qinghua said.
I asked her with a smile: “So, what is that tall tree in your yard?”
“Which one? There’s just a locust tree.” Liu Qinghua spoke in confusion: “So does this tree have a particular name?”
I could tell she didn’t know anything about that tree at all.
I heard from that female ghost that it was called a ‘death tree’.
But… why it was called so?
Liu Qinghua didn’t know the reason either.
I shook my head. Anyway, we had already finished the tattoo for Liu Qinghua, and I could take this chance to visit Wei Xiaoyu upstairs to talk about some business.
This would save time and we wouldn’t need to go to her tomorrow.
I said to Liu Qinghua: “Qinghua… Can we stay here on that sofa tonight since we are going to have some business nearby tomorrow?”
“Of course you can… How can I say no since you are good men?”
Liu Qinghua smiled and said: “But it is not quiet here. We can always hear the woman crying and the sound like sha sha. There are also cats crying outside… You might have a sleepless night.”
“That’s OK.”
Then I told her: “Well… Qinghua, stay away with that tree. It is ominous.”
“Ominous?”
“Absolutely. It’s no good.” I smiled.
“Oh, OK.” She smiled and went to get ready to sleep. I saw her smile, as if she was preparing for a good dream about Brother Feng.
I lay on the sofa and said to Feng Chunsheng: “Well… I have to say, today was a great success.”
“Absolutely.”
…
I woke up around five or six in the morning. It was still dark outside.
Then I found that Feng Chunsheng was gone. Did he go somewhere alone?
I stood up and checked inside Liu Qinghua’s room. The door was open… and she was also gone.
Oh…
It was so strange. Where did they go?
I walked out to the balcony and looked at that strange ‘death tree’. I felt a little scared.
Damn… Did they go to buy breakfast?
I shook my head and was about to take out my phone to call Feng Chunsheng.
But when I checked, I found my phone was gone.
There were too many strange things happening… Feng Chunsheng was gone, Liu Qinghua disappeared, and I couldn’t find my phone, either. I was abandoned.
I felt helpless. This feeling became stronger when I heard the cats outside the window.
It was like a baby’s crying, which made me feel goose bumps all over. Then I ran to the door, I wanted to escape.
When I opened the door, there was woman in a tight black coat on the other side.
This woman looked extremely beautiful, with a good figure.
Then she walked into the room very naturally and gracefully.
I asked her: “Who are you?”
This woman told me she was Liu Qinghua’s girlfriend and came here to play. Then she told me to close the door.
She continued and said Liu Qinghua was doing some business with an older man, and I had to stay here and wait.
