Chapter 338: Why don’t you rent a cat and feed it for two days?
Late at night, charcoal was burned upstairs for warmth. The Taoist lay upright on the bed covered with quilts, while the cat huddled next to the charcoal stove.
"Sanhua Empress is out to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons. Do you want me to go with you?"
"Well?"
The cat huddled up by the stove turned to look at him:
"Are you going too?"
"Come with Sanhua Empress."
"But you've been a little lazy lately." Mao'er still remembered his words.
"Even so." Song You paused for a moment, "But I thought about it. Since I have traveled around the world with Empress Sanhua, and Empress Sanhua goes out to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons, how can I not follow her?"
"Are you worried about Empress Sanhua?" Mao'er turned around and stared at him with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Obviously not. Sanhua Empress has vast magical powers and powerful magic. Moreover, Sanhua Empress is smart, alert, and independent. Why do you need me to worry about her?"
"Yes, when Sanhua Empress was the Cat God, she would go to help people catch mice, but she would do it all by herself."
"That's right, I think so too." The Taoist still lay flat on the bed, opened his eyes, and saw darkness in front of him. However, if he turned his head slightly, he could see the scarlet fire faintly coming from the stove, and he could also see the light next to the fire.
The little black figure lying down paused for a moment, "It's just that I thought about it and found that I can't live without Empress Sanhua. Besides, when I travel around the world, no matter where I go, whenever I have Empress Sanhua with me,
I felt very happy when I was around her, so I thought Sanhua Empress would need me as much as I need Sanhua Empress."
"So that's it..."
The black figure lying next to the stove said, and then seemed to be lost in thought.
It seems that he is still a little embarrassed to think about it.
The silence in the darkness was quite long.
After a while, her voice came out again:
"Don't be sad, Taoist priest. Sanhua Empress also wants to be accompanied by a Taoist priest and likes Taoist priests. It's just that it's not convenient to bring a Taoist priest this time. Why? Mainly because we put a lot of money at home and it's all thanks to Sanhua Empress' hard work."
What you earn hard and have to pay for the house cannot be stolen, so I want to ask the Taoist priest to stay at home and guard the house..."
Song You couldn't help but fell into silence after listening.
These words sounded so familiar, as if I had heard them somewhere before.
Good guy...
It turns out that during the long silence just now, this little thing was not thinking, but retrieving memories?
"Ahem..."
Suddenly there was a coughing sound in the room.
Naturally, this coughing sound did not come from the cat, nor did it come from the Taoist priest. One person and one cat turned their heads at the same time, and following the sound, they discovered that it was coming from next door.
The cough was quick and light, like the product of a failed attempt to suppress a smile.
"Oh well."
Song You stopped talking to Empress Sanhua.
Earlier tonight, after cleaning the table, Empress Sanhua asked Wu Nuxia for detailed information.
Sanhua Empress is very vigilant.
Even if Jianghu warriors accepted the commission and failed to exorcise evil spirits, they could still save their lives. Folk experts could escape unscathed even if they used some unorthodox methods. Now Empress Sanhua has hundreds of big wolves, a tiger, and two mountain gods. Although she is not like General Chen
She holds thousands of troops and horses, but she is also a small warlord of the cat world. In addition, she is superb in fire skills. Cats are naturally more agile than humans, and their agility and speed are better than those of martial arts masters. When they followed Taoists when they traveled in the north, they often helped Taoists exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons, and fought with Taoists.
I have dealt with many ghosts and ghosts, so confidence does not come from reckless ignorance, but is the result of careful consideration.
Although cats are not as complex as adults, they have lived alone in the wild since they were young. They are more cautious and have better survival skills than Taoists. They usually travel around the world and sleep in the wild. Whenever they encounter any danger or notice something is wrong, they
, she was the one who reminded Song You.
"I won't remind Empress Sanhua to be careful. There is not much to say to Empress Sanhua. I just ask Empress Sanhua to go in peace. I will guard my home and go back as soon as possible."
"knew!"
"Miss Sanhua, please go to sleep."
"If you, the Taoist priest, are reluctant to part with Empress Sanhua, you can rent a cat to feed her for two days tomorrow."
"Miss Sanhua is joking, there is no point in renting a cat."
"Can't you rent everything in Changjing? You can rent donkeys and horses, so why can't you rent cats?"
"Cough cough cough..."
"The woman next door is always eavesdropping on our conversations."
"The wall is so thin, there's nothing we can do about it."
"right……"
The little black figure by the stove stood up, seemed to stretch, shook his body, twisted around, and jumped towards the bed.
"Can Empress Sanhua secretly hold your feet and sleep tonight? Oh yes, then Empress Sanhua can't tell you..."
"..."
Early the next morning.
Since Sanhua Empress received the reward from Changjing County through Wu Nuxia, and there was no Wu Nuxia to accompany her this time to guide the way and share the money, so the county government sent two catchers, including an old elder.
Another official in official uniform came. When he saw Song You, he saluted him.
"Meet sir."
"That's polite."
"I have heard before that there is an expert practitioner who lives in Liushu Street in Xicheng. He is the best at destroying demons. Many of the rewards for exterminating demons that were accumulated in Changjing were all paid by him. I have never been able to visit him before. This time
How lucky I am to finally see the true face of my husband."
"Your Excellency, you are too kind."
Song You had no choice but to maintain etiquette.
"The evil spirits in Taohua Village have been causing trouble for a long time. I have invited people to exorcise the evil spirits several times, but they have failed. The superiors have been pressing hard. This time my husband came back and finally solved a problem in our county government. I thought
Taohua Village is also half a day's journey from Changjing, so I rented a carriage for my husband to take him there."
"My lord, I have misunderstood. I have to stay in Changjing today. The one who accepted the reward for exorcising evil spirits and subduing demons this time is my Tong'er. To exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons, Tong'er also went alone."
"Um?"
The official kept his saluting posture, followed his gaze, and turned his head to the side.
A little girl wearing three-color clothes was sitting on the bench, her feet could not touch the ground, but she was extremely beautiful, and she was staring at him with a serious face.
"oh……"
The official smiled quickly and said: "Sir is a real god, and the children are naturally extraordinary. If you think about it, you can definitely capture all the evil spirits."
Sanhua Empress nodded imperceptibly.
"I don't know when it will be convenient..."
"That's it now."
The Taoist said to him.
At the same time, the little girl also shrank forward, slid off the bench, fell to the ground, and continued to stare at the official.
"Just please..."
"My name is Sanhua Empress."
"Empress Sanhua..."
The official tasted the name for a moment, and continued with almost no pause: "Please ask Sanhua Empress to move. The old elder will send Sanhua Empress to her. As for the situation in Peach Blossom Mountain, the old elder will also tell her on the way.
Sanhua Empress explained in detail."
"OK."
The little girl walked to the carriage, turned around and said hello to the Taoist, then got on the carriage, and then poked her head out of the window, her eyes bright, staring at him without blinking.
He didn't say anything, just stared at him.
The Taoist stood at the door and watched her go away.
At the same time, a swallow flew up from the roof, flapping its wings and rushing up, down, left and right in the air, and followed the carriage away.
"Sir and Tong'er have a deep relationship."
"yes."
"Sir, this boy is also beautiful."
"yes."
The carriage swayed, turned a corner and disappeared.
The county government official was still standing behind him, holding his hands in a saluting posture, barely letting go, and smiling, as if he had something else to say. The Taoist also saluted him with a smile on his face, but took one from the side.
The green jade bamboo staff said to him:
"My lord, I've invited you. The child is young. Although I am very confident about his abilities, I still have to follow him quietly just in case."
"Oh, I should, I should." The official said quickly, "I'll take my leave now."
"Sir, walk slowly."
Song You turned around and closed the door.
The window upstairs next door was wide open, and half of the neighbor's heroine leaned out, staring at him with a smile.
The Taoist turned a blind eye and walked out of the city with his stick.
…
Taohuashan is half a day’s journey from Changjing.
Although Song You has been here, his memory is really unclear and he almost forgot how to walk. Fortunately, the swallows have been flying in the distant sky, rushing into the sky from time to time, flying back through the cover of clouds and fog, and passing through the clouds to point out the direction for the Taoist.
He rushed back again, and because Sanhua Empress was wearing a small wooden sign, Song You could also sense its direction, so he wouldn't go wrong.
In the afternoon, the carriage arrived at Taohua Village.
At this time, Taohua Village is full of peach trees, which are almost like dead trees. The village was originally a large village with many residents. However, most of them have either gone to relatives' homes or hid in the city because of the zombie attack. Only those who have no relatives or relatives.
Those who had no money or could not walk had no choice but to stay in the village. Every night they prayed that the thing would not come, and they also had to worry about where to hide and sleep so that they would not be found by the wandering thing.
On tenterhooks.
Just hiding for a long time is not an option. With dozens of miles of peach trees in Peach Blossom Village, it can be considered wealthy. If we really leave our homeland and move elsewhere, not only will it be hard to leave our homeland, but so will our money.
Villagers often get together to discuss solutions.
Today I collected money again and invited an expert from Qingxiaoguan in Donghe County, which is dozens of miles away. Not long after the expert arrived, I heard that the government also invited an expert. This time it was led by an old elder in the city.
I hired a young catcher, hired a carriage, and personally sent the master there. It seemed to be of high standard. I expected that the master invited by the government this time must be extraordinary. I felt that the evil spirit could be eliminated, and I felt very happy.
.
If we can't get rid of it, no matter how much money these dozens of miles of Taoshan sell for each year, we will have no choice but to move.
The carriage finally stopped slowly.
A swallow also flew over and landed on the roof.
But when the old elder opened the curtain and asked for help, what jumped out of the carriage was a girl who looked less than ten years old. She was wearing three-color clothes and had two buns on her head. She was quite beautiful.
, his face is so pure that he doesn’t look like a mortal, and his eyes are big and bright. However, at this age, how can he look like an expert?
The little girl was seen standing there after getting off the car, with her little hands hanging down and clenching her fists, with a stern face, her eyes wandering around and looking over the villagers from time to time, as if she was waiting for something.
The villagers looked at each other in shock.
"What are you doing standing still? This is an expert invited by the Yamen, named Sanhua Empress. The brothel ghost on Peach Blossom Mountain a few years ago was the master of Sanhua Empress who got rid of the brothel ghost that had been causing trouble for so long." The old man said.
He raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, "Why don't you come and pay homage to Empress Sanhua?"
"Oh! I've seen Empress Sanhua!"
"I've seen Empress Sanhua..."
Everyone hurriedly saluted and shouted in confusion.
Sanhua Empress still stood still, with no expression on her face, but she suddenly held her breath, facing the salutes and shouts of the villagers, and she seemed to have returned to the Maoer Temple in the past.
This feeling really fascinates the cat.
Thank you to the leader of "Xitang", bow and show your chest!
