Chapter 37 Another year has passed without realizing it
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, people warm themselves by firewood by streams, pet cats and enjoy flowers, and Yidu leads a leisurely life day after day.
There is one more thing to do every day——
Take care of the horses.
Expenditures have also increased.
Raising horses in the city is troublesome.
Originally, the Beiyuan horse had strong digestion ability and was very tolerant of rough feeding. It did not need to be fed with concentrates unless it was used for heavy work. However, since we could not get grass in the city, we had to spend money to buy fodder and clean it frequently. Fortunately, Song You and it
After saying that, it kept quiet, otherwise it would disturb the neighbors, not only cause trouble, but also feel bad about it.
The twelfth lunar month is almost over.
Soon it will be Song You’s first Spring Festival alone since he came to this world.
A few days ago, the Taoist priests of Fuqing Palace asked a pilgrim living in Yidu to send a letter, saying that they wanted to invite Song You to Qingcheng Mountain to celebrate the New Year.
But he couldn't reply to the Taoist priests at Fuqing Palace. I don't know how long they had been waiting in front of the mountain gate that day.
"Where's the house inspection?"
Song You could tell at a glance that the ghost of the woman had never harmed anyone before and lacked the ability to harm anyone. He was just a passerby, living here temporarily and was too lazy to bother, so he stopped caring about her story.
"..."
Song You thought for a while, and there was no reason to invite someone to inspect the house on the first day of the lunar new year. According to Yizhou custom, on the second day of the lunar month, he would have to visit the graves again to pay New Year greetings to the deceased old man. After that, he would have to go back to his parents' home to visit relatives and friends. He was afraid that it would not be until
You may not even have free time on the fifth or sixth day of the lunar month, so it’s really not as convenient after the new year as it was before the new year.
"You can obviously jump down."
"Yes."
After cooking the sausage, Song You patiently cut it into thin slices. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the girl who was lighting the fire in front of the stove, stretching her neck and staring eagerly. She made some movements with her hands, and was touched in her heart. So she smiled and cut until only the sausage was left.
When he removed a small section from the back of his buttocks, he stopped cutting and pinched it and handed it to her.
Now there is no news about the male master and the female master is dead. As their only remaining relative, Tang Zhong should take over the courtyard. However, the woman's obsession is too deep and her ghost lingers for a long time. No one dares to live in this courtyard.
It couldn't be rented or sold, so Tangzhong was helpless.
"right."
Not only was he touched by this rare love that truly existed in the feudal era, and the obsession that transcended life and death, but he also deeply thought that this story was different from what he originally thought.
No one spoke, they just ate in silence.
"I'm going to say goodbye to Mr. Storyteller."
"right."
"The beginning of spring is the beginning of the year. It is full of vitality and everything revives. It is a good time to start a journey."
The wooden door creaked open and closed again.
"I also wish you a happy new year, sir."
"It will affect the neighbors."
"You will be thought of as a monster."
Even though he said this, he had no intention of coming down and just continued to stare at him:
"Are we leaving?"
I braved a little inspection and found that the courtyard was not damaged.
"Empress Sanhua has great wisdom."
The fragrance gradually came out of the yard.
Half a year is a long time for a cat.
Luo Baotou also came to invite him, but Song You also declined.
Tang Zhong let out a long sigh and waved his hands: "That's all. I have tried every means in the past few years and I accept it. Let her stay here. Sir, I will say goodbye now."
Although there are differences between ancient and modern times, people's hearts are connected.
I remember that I was in Yidu after the Beginning of Autumn. After the Beginning of Spring, autumn and winter were almost over.
"a few more days."
"New Year."
Including Yu Zhizhou sent letters.
Sanhua Empress came closer to smell it, then raised her head and stared at him.
Today I pass it to Empress Sanhua.
"Tang has one more thing to ask sir..."
I am used to thinking about complicated places, and for a moment I even couldn't believe it, but it was just people's simple and pure goodwill.
"How long is the beginning of spring?"
A voice came from the courtyard wall above my head.
"Then what are we doing these days?"
In terms of understanding the female ghost during her lifetime, Song You is not as knowledgeable as her neighbors. In terms of being affected by the existence of the female ghost, Song You is not as knowledgeable as her neighbors. Since the neighbors are tolerant and tolerant, Luo Baantou lives in this courtyard.
Opposite the door, given his character and responsibilities, he chose to turn a blind eye. How could Song You have any reason to remove him?
"New Year."
"I don't know what home is."
"Please say."
This story once touched many people in Yidu.
"oh."
Song You didn't seem to be expecting her answer, he was just stuck in his memories. Now that he thinks about it, that time was really happy and joyful.
Song You turned to look at her and remained silent for a moment. Seeing that her eyes were pure and clear, he remained silent for another moment, not knowing what to say.
When Song You first heard about it, he was touched in his heart.
The time for celebrating the New Year this year is quite appropriate, as it is the beginning of spring a few days after the New Year.
Song You couldn't help but look back at memories.
"well……"
Not long after——
This woman was originally a brothel singer, and later married the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty. Her husband-in-law was the brother of the Tang official in front of her. The two were very affectionate, and it became a good story for a while. However, when the war went to the north, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty followed a familiar
The general left to join the army, wanting to build a career and protect his family and country, but within a few years they lost contact. The woman stayed alone in her empty boudoir, longing for her husband, and gradually became depressed, and soon passed away.
Song You looked up and saw the little girl standing barefoot on the roof of the courtyard wall. The roof was originally narrow and slippery, but she stood very firmly and stared at him condescendingly.
Stepping on the bench, he untied a piece of bacon and a section of sausage from the beam, and took out a piece of air-dried fish. He boiled hot water and washed it carefully. This bacon was still smoked. You need to use a knife to scrape off the black ash on the surface. That Zeng Zeng Zeng
As soon as the sound of "," sounded, it seemed like it was the New Year's Eve.
Tang Zhong was immediately disappointed, but he still refused to give up.
Sanhua Empress turned back into a cat at some point. While Song You was washing vegetables and fetching water, she ran after him, but she didn't know how hard he was running. When Song You lit the oil lamp, his shadow swayed while he was busy,
She chased Song You's shadow on the ground again, pounced on him again and again, and was very involved in the game.
The owner of the house is a man in his thirties, dressed as a scholar, his surname is Tang and the Chinese character is Xincheng.
“What is a home inspection?”
"This is someone else's house, rented to us, so when we return it to others, we have to ask them to come and see if there is any damage to the house."
"Why the beginning of spring?"
I had long heard that the person who rented here was an expert. He was also the only tenant who had lived in the courtyard permanently in recent years. He even came to ask Song You for a talisman, so he respected him greatly at this time.
Song You was thinking about the days in the courtyard. The Sanhua Empress turned into a human form, but she still couldn't change her cat's habit of walking on the rain eaves of the courtyard wall.
"yes."
This woman's remnant soul is hidden very deep and is difficult to find. It will indeed stump many folk gentlemen who want to eat this kind of food. But Yizhou is so big that it doesn't mean there are no capable people, and she just stayed here for a few days.
Nian. Song You originally thought that there must be a hidden story, just like the story in the novel. Either the woman's identity was unusual during her lifetime, or she was involved in something else, but he never thought that the woman's remaining soul would be obsessed with it.
The reason why Nian has existed here for several years and has not been solved is simply the widespread sympathy and affection towards her from the surrounding society.
On the table are a bowl of sausages, a bowl of bacon stir-fried with garlic sprouts, a bowl of bacon, and half a pot of soup stewed with the pig's feet I bought this morning. It's not a rich meal, but it's actually too much to finish. Two people, one large and one small, are facing each other across the lamp.
Sitting, the flame of the oil lamp can only illuminate a very narrow area, showing circles of lines on the rough pottery bowl.
"There's no one in the house over here."
"Sir, is there any way to remove it?"
This cat really has a pair of eyes.
Song You didn't agree at all.
"Does Sanhua Empress know? When I was a child, every Chinese New Year, when the adults were busy chopping vegetables, I would always stand around them. While the adults were cutting, they would always leave a piece and hand it to us. I
I always think it tastes better than what’s on the table at lunch the next day.”
"For me?"
There was smoke from the cooking pots, thousands of lights were on, lanterns were lit at every door in the city, and the sound of blowing and blowing could be heard outside.
The wintersweet blooms for a long time, and on New Year's Eve, the flowers are still there, proud of the frost and snow, and independent in the cold weather.
The kitten ran out immediately.
"anything else?"
"That's not polite."
Just go and ask the owner of the house to come over today.
"Miss Sanhua, please help me light the fire."
"Children can eat first."
"Then I'll leave on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
About an hour later, the owner of the house arrived.
"Bring me the ladder."
"Taoist priest, why don't you eat grass today?"
"Sir, everything is fine."
"Wish you a happy new year."
"Are we leaving?"
"Why?"
"We should cook the New Year's Eve dinner together."
"Can't understand."
"In this courtyard before..." Tang Zhong looked left and right. Although he didn't feel any discomfort, he was still a little timid and spoke coquettishly. "There was something... in this courtyard before... that wasn't very clean. I heard that
Sir, you have a profound moral character, I wonder if you...have you gotten rid of it?"
It was after living here for a long time, probably at the end of last month or at the beginning of this month, that Capt. Luo told him about it by chance.
"Miss Sanhua is a monster."
"Go find some clothes, turn into a human form, and help me light the fire."
This courtyard belongs to Tang's eldest son and her.
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is the beginning of spring.
Song You glanced at him and only said:
"I have told you that Sanhua Empress should not climb on the roof and walk around when she is in human form. People will think she is a monster."
Song You sat in the courtyard for a while, until it was getting late and he was about to start cooking, and then he returned to the house.
"We need to ask the owner to inspect the house."
"Alright alright."
Sanhua Empress put on her shoes and felt very awkward. Looking around the room, she couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
Song You went to bring her a ladder and brought her shoes.
"Miss Sanhua knows how to celebrate the New Year."
This place is already full of her scent.
"Well?"
"dinner hasn't started yet."
Song You didn't answer, just looked at him and shook his head.
The courtyard on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year has just been rented for six months.
"That's just a lingering obsession. If you don't feel guilty, don't be afraid."
"Hmm..."
Then Song You suddenly understood, then Song You praised it, and then he clearly realized again that this is a real world. Even though this era is backward and ignorant, it still has warmth and color.
"Come down quickly."
"Leave after the beginning of spring."
"When we set off on this journey, we are getting further and further away from home."
Song You didn't feel lonely at all. For so many years in the Taoist temple, it was just him, his master and the old mynah, so he had long been used to it.
Not long after, fireworks started setting off outside.
Unexpectedly, I have another year in this world.
Thank you to the leader of "Xu Qiu'an", the eternal god of abs girls, for bowing and showing your breasts!
