A few days later, there were several light rains in succession, and the weather in Yidu became autumn.
Song You went out to listen to books as usual.
I spent more than ten yuan on tea in the afternoon, drank half a meal, listened to the old man's wonderful words, and gave me a few more yuan, which just made up twenty yuan for expenses.
When he stepped on the wet stone slabs and rotten leaves, he returned to the small courtyard. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a calico cat running towards him from the kitchen house. When he got closer, it slowed down and looked up at him.
It looks like an ordinary domestic cat, except that it has extra intelligence and can speak human language.
"Taoist priest, where have you been?"
"Same as the past few days." Song You answered honestly, "Ms. Sanhua, do you want to go again? I will take you with me tomorrow."
"Well……"
The calico cat hesitated for a moment, but did not answer. Instead, he turned his gaze: "What are you holding in your hand?"
It seems that this cat doesn't like listening to books.
Song You thought like this and took out the things in his hands.
The three of them were immediately surprised.
"No."
This book "Yu Di Ji Sheng" also has the unique style of this world. In addition to recording famous mountains and rivers, well-known palaces and temples, as well as Internet celebrity attractions that famous literati from ancient and modern times have checked in with poems and articles, it also records some fantasy and magical things.
at.
The other two people also quickly stood up with him.
It may take thousands of years or even longer for this era to develop into modern civilization, but the taste of this snack is not much different from what he remembers.
Song You knew that most cats didn't like the taste of oranges, so he put the oranges aside, picked up the candied haws, and took one off with his hands first.
However, Song You only took two pieces and handed the remaining piece back to Luo Captou.
The underground fire city where the god of fire rests in mythology.
For a moment, I didn’t know that I was a guest.
"I'm afraid not."
Luo Captou was reluctant to leave, but he put down the tea cup for a while, and then excitedly thanked Song You: "Sir, he knows things like a god, and without even meeting him, he made the thief's escape method ineffective with just a few instructions. It's really shocking."
admire."
"I think it tastes delicious."
"Then you still eat?"
Song You tasted it carefully and realized that the "three-flowered cat" here is probably equivalent to the "three-flowered empress", which is its self-proclaimed name.
None of the three felt they had lost their place.
The introduction is very detailed.
These twenty taels will last a long time, right?
…
Luo Baotou immediately understood. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face, but he didn't dare to go against the wishes of such an expert, so he had to put it away.
I don't know how much time passed, but the night was getting darker and the oil smoke was making my eyes hurt. Song You decided that it was time for today and it was time to go to sleep.
Song You just finished eating the last candied haws, placed the wooden stick on the stone table, then stood up and opened the door.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
"Just licked it."
The calico cat behind him lay quietly, squinting his eyes.
Song You couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
When I looked closer, I saw that the mouth of the cup was white and green, and the aroma of tea was alluring. It was a cup of good tea.
Song You had a smile on his face, but he simply refused:
"I am a pure cultivator in this mountain. I only like purity on weekdays. I should not be loved by adults."
"Thank you, class leader."
But I heard him say:
"However, after Mr. Liu heard about Mr.'s demeanor, he admired him very much. He asked me to propose to him that he would like to hold a banquet to reward him. If he rewards me, it will be held at Tianxiang Tower at noon tomorrow, but I don't know Mr...."
As expected, there was Mr. Luo Baotou standing outside the door.
"What's that out there?"
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Mr. Luo said respectfully and drank the tea in his cup. "I won't disturb you as I have official duties to attend to. Mr. Luo, the county magistrate, will reply. There will be more after this case."
If there is any development that may involve Mr. Luo, I will report it to Mr. Luo from now on."
"Does Sanhua Empress eat candied haws?"
"Thank you sir."
"Farewell."
Blow out the reading lamp and you will be covered with moon.
"Please come in."
It sounds really annoying.
Yidu is the capital of Yizhou, the third city in the world. The guards here are experienced in the world, but they are inevitably embarrassed when facing such unscrupulous experts.
After a long time, the sweet and sour taste dissipated in his mouth, and Song You opened his eyes.
The calico cat has also finished eating the candied haws, leaving only a few hawthorn seeds on the stone table. Two of them were bitten, and I don't know if any of them were swallowed.
Song You shook his head and went back to settle accounts.
"Then Sanhua Empress won't eat."
Oranges were newly released around Yidu. When he came back, he saw someone setting up a stall on the roadside and selling them very cheaply. He also weighed two kilograms. Then he heard someone selling candied haws. It wasn’t that he was eager to eat it, but he hadn’t tasted it in years.
I couldn't help but buy a bunch because of the taste.
"Fruit."
"Trouble with the squad leader."
The night was so quiet that I could only hear the sound of books being turned.
This feeling is really not comparable to banknotes, let alone a string of numbers on an electronic screen.
The calico cat spoke in a clear and powerful tone. After speaking, he turned around, jumped off the stone table, and walked away shaking his butt.
"The fruit is not delicious." The calico cat looked at Song You's expression, "Do you like to eat it?"
Don’t you see that when the county magistrate wants to get acquainted with Mr. Song, he has to be careful and let Mr. Luo lead the way?
"Squeak~"
"It went extremely smoothly," said Mr. Luo. "Three days ago, when we met the thief, we shouted out the words taught by our teacher. Yesterday at midnight, when we found the thief's hiding place again, he still wanted to use Escape.
He managed to escape, but he only got halfway into the soil before he got stuck there, and we were able to capture him on the spot."
"Um?"
It feels heavy in my hand and heavy in my heart.
After a short pause, he turned his head and said to the people around him:
"I haven't seen you yet, sir."
Song You gathered up all the hawthorn seeds it spat out with his hands, spit out the ones in his mouth into the palm of his hand, put them together with its, and then looked at it.
"I eat it occasionally."
"Candy is delicious."
"Can Sanhua Empress only eat sweets?"
"That's good."
"Did the capture go smoothly?"
"Please have some tea."
"You eat. You like to eat."
"You really don't want to eat?"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
Although Song You didn't do anything.
For example, Yunding Mountain is said to have been visited by immortals.
"Sir, what a magic trick!"
I had just closed the book under the moonlight, but I saw the calico cat behind me had woken up at some point, crawled closer, jumped up on the desk, and stared out the window.
It should cost less in the future.
Today, Capt. Luo is still dressed in the same outfit, but he wears an iron ruler around his waist. He is followed by two people, also dressed in soap clothes and boots.
The three of them quickly thanked each other, raised their glasses and sipped.
"Then try one."
“Not delicious.”
The calico cat bites alternately with its teeth on both sides.
The weather is cool, perfect for sitting around.
"Monkeys like to eat fruits."
When he turned around, he saw that the calico cat had jumped onto the stone table again and was licking the bamboo stick he had finished eating. There was still candy on it.
“Hawthorn is not delicious?”
"Then I don't want to eat what you licked?"
The calico cat turned its head and stared at him with a look of "are you a cat or am I a cat?", pondered for several seconds, and then said:
"I understand."
The window in front of me is wide open, and a full moon in the night sky has risen over the city. There is no city neon lights, no traffic noise, only the corners of the ancient buildings and the full moon are deserted, and the dark tile roofs reflect the moonlight, which is pure
The darkness carries pure brightness.
He didn't say that he just came up with a plan and didn't deserve the twenty taels. He didn't say that the catchers had worked hard day and night and should give some to them. It was tiring to do things that only increased ties.
.However, in addition to the twenty-tael reward agreed in advance, he was unwilling to take the twelve-tael personal gift from the magistrate.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's the fruit, hawthorn."
Song You stood at the door and frowned.
"..."
Take a gentle bite.
"The calico cat won't eat."
"I heard what the squad leader said, but the escaped thief was caught?" Song You went straight to the point.
Then he took out the tea cup that Luo Captou had given him a few days ago and placed it in front of several people. No tea was poured, and the cup gradually filled up as if tea water had seeped out by itself.
Song You didn't care and continued to taste the snacks.
The wooden door hinges still make a sour sound.
The small fangs pierced the candied haws smoothly, and the rock sugar on the outer layer felt crunchy, and the hawthorn inside was also bitten open.
Song You let them into the courtyard, closed the door, and led them through the courtyard until they sat down in the main room.
His intuition told him that it was Luo who was the head catcher.
Two nights later.
It's still the same reason, I don't want to increase the friction.
Maybe Luo Captou didn't notice it himself, but unknowingly, his tone and attitude in front of Song You had become very low.
"Cats don't eat fruit."
Seeing that the candied haws was in front of him, the calico cat stretched its neck and got closer to it, sniffing it carefully, looking at it and then at Song You. Both its sense of smell and reason gave it feedback that this was not delicious, but it hesitated.
After a while, it still opened its mouth.
"It's just saliva."
As soon as he saw Song You, he handed over his hand and said, "Sir, you are polite. Luo is here to thank you and give you a gift."
"Sir, you have done another thing to eliminate harm for the people." Mr. Luo paused, and took out a red cloth from his arms, "I have agreed with you in advance, and this matter will be regarded as your capture of the thief, and you will be rewarded."
The gold should belong to sir. The twenty taels here are the bounty announced by the notice, and the remaining ten taels are private gifts from my lord. Recently, the nobles in the city have been putting pressure on me, and my lord is also in trouble. I should thank you for rescuing the siege."
"Um."
"There is your saliva."
Song You lit an oil lamp and sat in front of the window reading quietly.
Song You didn't look at it, he just took one and put it into his mouth.
"It's sugar."
The sugar coating was bitten easily, as if there was a slight cracking sound in the mouth, and then the hawthorn exploded, the sour and sweet flavors exploded all at once, and the hard hawthorn seeds kept colliding with the teeth in the mouth, making it slightly
Boom, boom, boom.
I have been coming to Yidu for a while. Yidu is prosperous and prices are high. Food and clothing in the city are quite expensive. In addition to rent and shopping after moving, I often go to Goulan Washe to listen to books recently, which is about the same.
It cost thousands of dollars.
Song You took the red cloth and opened it. There were three pieces of honeycomb silver tied around the waist. Each piece was inscribed with the word "Twelve Liang", which was the official silver of Dayan.
"Who will eat the fruit?"
One person and one cat gathered in front of the stone table.
"Exactly!"
The two people behind him immediately handed over their hands and said they had met Mr.
"Um?"
Song You also noticed the noise outside.
The sound of sound came from the courtyard wall, as if someone was climbing on the wall.
But the sound was different from climbing on the wall. It was more like a hard object colliding with the wall, a sharp object scratching the wall. There was a faint whistling sound in the night wind, and there was the clang of falling tiles.
The huge ferocious head swayed in the moonlight outside the courtyard wall.
