On the edge of Liujiang River, the mountains and rivers complement each other and the scenery is picturesque.

Occasionally, there are loud folk songs that echo among the mountains. I don’t know whether they come from the mountains or from the river.

The Taoist was sitting cross-legged under a tree by the river, with a small stove set in front of him and lighting a fire. The girl was bent over and squatting by the river washing rice.

"When your injury is healed, will Empress Sanhua use the white crane to send you to Dingshan?"

"Time is not so urgent. It won't take long for my injury to be completely healed." The Taoist added dry firewood to the small stove. The dry firewood had been broken into small pieces by Sanhua Empress. The length was just about the same as the stone stove. He only had to pick it up.

Just throw it into the stove, which is very convenient. "It's okay for us to walk slowly and come back slowly."

"Aren't you in a hurry, meow?"

"yes……"

Song You continued to throw firewood into the small stove.

According to his thinking, the only thing left now, which belongs to the past twenty years and belongs to the world under the mountain, is to ask the Emperor of Heaven to abdicate.

However, now that the Emperor of Heaven has no available power in the sky, and the power of the immoral god has been exhausted, this has become an easy task.

As for the subsequent events, they either do not belong to these twenty years, or they do not belong to the human world under the mountain - whether it is monitoring the interference of gods on the development of the human world, or gaining insight into the human world, and guiding the historical process at the appropriate time, Song You can return to the

After arriving at Fulong Temple, complete it on Yin Yang Mountain.

That would consume him for the rest of his long life.

"Don't move, don't light the fire, don't do anything, just let Sanhua Empress come!"

Sanhua Empress came back with a small pot that was half filled with rice and water. She looked at the fire in the small stove and then at the Taoist who was throwing small sticks into the stove:

"You don't cook as well as Sanhua Empress!"

When the girl said this, she had a serious look on her face, but somehow she couldn't help but look back and look into the distance behind her.

Where is it behind you?

This time they came from Yizhou and flew to Xuzhou by crane. Nineteen years ago, they also came from Yizhou and walked to Xuzhou. The Taoist taught her the fire method and how to make fire, and told her to gain insights from burning fire.

The aura of flames and the true meaning of fire magic, she did not do well in this matter at first. The flames often went out, black smoke often came out, and she did not listen to her words.

Looking back now, among the mountains, it seems that one of them is the same one as before, and it seems that what I see is the same one as before.

"I can't compare to Sanhua Empress."

"..."

Sanhua Empress put the small pot on the stove, scratched her head, and said nothing. She just picked up a piece of bacon and a few swallow beans she bought from the side, and went to the river again.

This is the recipe the Taoist priest taught her——

Braised dry rice with oats and bacon.

It is said to be called Kong Gan Rice.

Sanhua Empress didn't know why it was called this, but she secretly tried it with waxed mice at night and it was delicious. Today she used the cured pork meat she bought to make it for the Taoist priests.

The bacon made by the farmers themselves is hung on the beams of the stove after it is cooked. The bacon is cooked and smoked every day, causing the bacon to be covered with a thick layer of black ash, which must be washed before eating.

Then the sound of scrubbing came from the riverside again.

Empress Sanhua's arms were thin but very strong, and she scrubbed them vigorously.

"Brush, brush, brush..."

According to her opinion, it is just some black gray ash, which is much cleaner than the dust and mud on the ground. It will not squeak in the mouth, and it will be fine if it is eaten in the belly. However, this Taoist priest has a lot of scenes.

In this case, he is not willing to eat it.

There is no other way but to make do with him.

"I'm not too tired, Sanhua Empress..."

"It's not as cold as Empress Sanhua..."

The less obvious fatigue and the biting cold of the winter river were quickly dissipated.

Just brushing, Sanhua Empress suddenly stopped and looked up at the river ahead——

The river is still green, calm and waveless at this windless time, with only a little chill, reflecting the strange mountains on both sides of the river. But a little further upstream, there is a wooden basin floating down the river, gradually moving towards her.

Come this way.

"Well?"

Sanhua Empress stared straight at that side and sniffed.

At this moment, there was crying on the river.

"Wow……"

Empress Sanhua looked calm and put down the bacon in her hand.

"Puff puff..."

A swallow flew over.

After a while——

The wooden basin on the river obeyed her invitation and floated in front of her, revealing an infant lying inside.

The girl immediately turned back and looked at the Taoist.

"He's a little man!"

The Taoist had already stood up and came over with a stick.

Walking to the riverside, he bent down and picked up the child in the basin.

"Wow……"

The child continued to cry loudly.

The Taoist looked carefully.

Empress Sanhua also stared at him.

This child has begun to grow teeth. It looks like he is more than half a year old. He is less than a year old. He is considered a baby. He should have been weaned. He is wrapped in clothes and coarse cloth. Other than that, there is nothing else in the basin.

In this cold winter, my face turned purple from the cold.

"It's a girl."

The Taoist said to the girl next to him who was particularly concerned.

"Girl!" Sanhua Empress looked serious and puzzled, "Why is the girl in the river?"

"Wow……"

"do not Cry……"

The Taoist touched the baby girl's face and spoke softly.

The baby girl seemed to understand and her crying stopped.

"It should have been abandoned by others."

"Thrown away? Don't want it anymore?"

"I guess……"

"Her mother doesn't want her anymore, meow?"

"Maybe……"

"Why don't you want your own children? Cats don't want their own children."

"Who knows..."

Song You looked down at the baby girl.

There are often abandoned baby girls in the world, such as at the foot of Yunding Mountain and in Jingdao Lake. In today's chaotic world, there may be even more abandoned baby girls.

The fabric of the clothes on this baby girl is very ordinary. It can be seen that the family is not wealthy and she is no longer a newborn baby. When she was weaned, she was not thrown into the river like ordinary people discarding baby girls.

Instead of drowning in the river, he used a wooden basin and swam down the river, fearing but still holding on to some hope.

I don’t know how the rest of the family is doing, but the mother of the child must be somewhat helpless.

The Taoist held the baby girl and inspected it carefully. Coincidentally, the baby girl had good basic talents.

It's almost like destiny.

"It's fate that we meet here. Since you came up from the river, you took Jiang as your surname. It's snowing heavily today and the winter is biting cold, so you'll call it Jiang Han."

"!"

Empress Sanhua looked at them seriously.

Cats are animals that always respect the old and love the young, and Sanhua Empress is very compassionate and empathetic, so naturally she couldn't take her eyes off the baby girl.

"Are we going to pick her up, meow?"

"Didn't Sanhua Empress already pick her up?"
