The moonlight is so bright that you can clearly see the color of the surrounding vegetation. There are no high-rise buildings or neon lights on the original dirt road in the valley. There is no other light except the bright moon above the head. Two figures are walking there.

The old hen came into the hands of the Taoist, and the little Taoist boy turned into a cat, following the Taoist's feet with small steps, walking on the official road, with flowers blooming on both sides, as if he had walked into a dream.

But the calico cat couldn't help but ask: "Taoist, why did you come here?"

"That's how it came about."

"Why are you following Sanhua Empress?"

"Empress Sanhua also knows that I am a person who loves to watch the excitement. Now Empress Sanhua is slaying demons for the first time and fighting zombies at night. I think it will be exciting, so I can't help but come over to see it."

"Taoist priests cannot lie!"

"It's natural."

"Then have you seen it?"

"I saw some, but after all, the five people were not close enough to see clearly." Song You said, "I think they must have enjoyed it very much."

“Saw some!”

“It’s quite an eye-opener!”

"Eye-opener!"

"Yes, it's an eye-opener and a feast for the eyes!"

"Then why don't you come closer and take a closer look?"

"She's not the Sanhua Empress yet."

"Miss Sanhua?"

As the cat walked, he tilted his head and looked at him, puzzled.

"Sanhua Empress is smart and suspicious. What if Sanhua Empress suspects that I don't trust Sanhua Empress' ability?"

"!"

The calico cat's expression suddenly became solemn——

This Taoist priest actually saw it!

Sanhua Empress quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at him more. She involuntarily accelerated her pace and ran in front of the Taoist.

Sure enough, I can't hide it from the Taoist priest...

She was indeed a little suspicious. She never thought that he would notice it, and he would also notice that she was suspicious. Although she didn't understand it, it was not a good word to think about. For a moment, she felt as if her tail had been stepped on.

In anxiety, he quickly eliminated this suspicion. After a while, his mood calmed down a little, and then he continued to turn his head and said to the Taoist priest as if nothing had happened:

"Empress Sanhua believes in Taoist priests the most."

"Yeah?"

"Yes~"

"Is Sanhua Empress a little guilty?"

"Sanhua Empress does not have it!"

"Miss Sanhua, please don't lie to me."

"Sanhua Empress does not lie!"

"Okay, then I also believe in Sanhua Empress, just as Sanhua Empress believes in me."

"call……"

The calico cat then breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the front, stopped and licked its paws to wait for the Taoist priest, and then continued walking at his feet:

"Then you come out, where is the money we have at home?"

"I asked the neighbor lady to help guard it."

"right……"

The calico cat breathed a sigh of relief again.

The Neighbor Girl is a good person who keeps her word and doesn't do any sneaky things. She will definitely not take her own money. Moreover, the Neighbor Girl has been very free recently and has been staying at home to study. She is both capable and likes to listen to the next door

If there is any movement, you will definitely be optimistic about the money.

Of course, I am still not as good as myself.

"Taoist, Sanhua Empress told you that Sanhua Empress can get thirty taels of silver for killing a zombie. The people in the village also paid for the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest didn't do anything. He said that he would give the villagers

All the money you take is given to Empress Sanhua."

"That's a lot of money."

"A lot of money!"

"What does Sanhua Empress plan to use it for?"

"Hide!"

"At such a young age, Sanhua Empress knows how to be diligent and thrifty in managing a household and managing money and savings, which is really rare." The Taoist was not stingy with his praise. "It's just about saving, but you still have to use it to reward yourself and earn a fortune."

With a lot of money, I can make better money in the future.”

"Reward?"

"Reward yourself." Song You said, "For example, buy two kilograms of beef or a bunch of candied haws."

"A bunch of candied haws!"

"You can also buy two bunches and give one bunch to your students."

"Buy three skewers! Give one skewer to the Taoist priest!"

"great……"

In the moonlight world in the middle of the night, there is no one else on the road. The Taoist and the cat are not afraid of the depth of night, the long road, the cold, and the lack of sorrow while walking and talking. It is really a kind of enjoyment.

At the fifth watch, we had already walked outside the city.

It’s just that the city gate hasn’t been opened yet.

Song You had no choice but to huddle under the city wall and rest for a while, holding a chicken in one hand and a cat in the other. He saw the moon sinking below the horizon, the world became dark, and more brilliant stars appeared. He also saw with his own eyes the peddlers and thugs outside the city.

Before dawn, people came from all over the place and gathered outside the city gate. While waiting for the city gate to open, they rubbed their hands to breathe and chatted quietly.

When the rooster crows, the city gate opens, and merchants rush in to build the prosperity of Changjing.

Song You just took a nap, and the cat beside him disappeared. When he saw her again, she had transformed into a human form again, carrying a small bundle of firewood, clamped it on her waist, and walked from the path.

"..."

The Taoist couldn't help but sigh, picked up the old hen beside him, reached out to hold Tong'er's other hand that was not holding firewood, and walked into the city with everyone.

Everything in the world is new in the morning.

People who don't wake up until noon will definitely find another side of the world around them if they go out early one morning. The same is true in this era. Changjing in the early morning has a vitality that makes Taoists amazed.

The waiters and shopkeepers of restaurants have to come out to purchase the freshest ingredients, and the servants of wealthy families also have to compete with them. There are servants running along the street carrying hot water or food, and I don’t know if they are delivering it to them.

In any lazy house, Empress Sanhua cannot let Empress Sanhua know that there is such a way to make money in Changjing, otherwise the time for study will be shortened even more.

Naturally, there were also those who stayed up all night last night, either lingering in brothels or gambling dens. Walking on the street at this time, they either smelled of alcohol or were sluggish in their steps.

The two sides walked on the street at the same time and passed each other. This scene could only happen in Changjing.

Taoists and girls are special.

They had not returned home all night, and they were full of energy.

"Steamed cakes! Freshly baked steamed cakes!"

"Steamed buns! Big meaty steamed buns!"

"Preserved eggs! Delicious fairy preserved eggs!"

All kinds of hawking sounds were heard.

The Taoist suddenly stopped and followed the voice of a young woman.

In the corner of the alley, there was a woman sitting, dressed very thickly, with two baskets and a clay pot in front of her. The pot was filled with preserved egg paste, one basket was filled with white duck eggs, and the other basket was filled with neat eggs.

Holding the wrapped preserved eggs, she wore thick gloves and skillfully wrapped the preserved eggs while raising her head and shouting something.

Stores selling preserved eggs in Changjing are like this. You can buy ready-made ones, or you can bring your own duck eggs to wrap.

Not many people have this skill now, but preserved eggs have become popular in the capital, and currently, it is also a good business.

Song You looked at the woman carefully across the crowd.

The little girl held his hand in one hand and held firewood in the other, then she looked up and followed him.

The woman looked nearly twenty years old, but she had already put her hair up in a woman's bun. She seemed to be married. She was dressed quite well. She was thicker and better dressed than most people on the road. She had no patches. Her complexion looked better than the people on the road.

Most of the hawkers and pedestrians are more rosy and seem to be doing okay.

At least it can't be called bad.
