Sanhua Empress raised her head and stared at him, motionless, with a serious expression, as if she was moved by his words, and she was immersed in the pleasant scene he described.
After staring for a long time, he finally said:
"What's in there?"
"..."
It seems that it was just an illusion before.
Song You was silent for a moment and answered truthfully: "It is a place where people have fun and indulge in their sexual desires."
"What is seeking pleasure and indulging in lust?"
"Children are not supposed to know."
"Sounds like fun!"
"It is played by mortals in this world."
"seems fun!"
"People who practice spiritual practice should not get involved in this."
"what is that?"
"Ms. Sanhua will only know when she grows up."
"Well……"
Empress Sanhua stared at him for a while. It was not the first time that she was fooled by him. She did not ask further questions and just said: "Empress Sanhua will ask Yanzi later!"
"Swallows won't tell you either."
"how do you know?"
"Guess."
"Then Sanhua Empress will come and see it herself tonight!"
"This is not helpful for spiritual practice."
"!"
"Miss Sanhua, please stop your curiosity." Song You shook his head, with a very calm expression, "Let's go buy a honeydew melon to eat. Miss Sanhua, think about it. In this hot day, let's buy a cold and sweet melon."
I sit under the shade of a tree with a honeydew melon, cut it in half like a bowl, eat it with a spoon, and watch the people coming and going in front of me, just sit here for half an afternoon, isn't it pleasant?"
"Hmm? Cut in half?"
"yes."
"Like a bowl?"
"It's like a basin, each of us has half of it."
"Scoop and eat!"
"Scoop and eat."
This scene finally moved the little girl, and Empress Sanhua was successfully diverted.
There was only that image left in my mind for a moment.
Cats are like this, their attention comes and goes quickly. Once they shift to another thing, they immediately lose interest in the previous thing, and even forget what they were talking about before.
Maybe my brain is too small and can only pretend to be one thing.
However, after thinking about it, Empress Sanhua quickly discovered something was wrong and tilted her head:
"But we don't have spoons!"
The Taoist smiled slightly and just said to her:
"Then I have to use my hands."
His tone was calm, as if he didn't care at all.
This immediately received enthusiastic support from Empress Sanhua: "Good hands! Only talented people use ladles and chopsticks!"
"yes……"
"Monkeys eat with their hands!"
"..."
After a while, under a red willow tree.
Two figures, one large and one small, were sitting on the ground, regardless of the dust on the ground. A golden netted honeydew melon was neatly cut in half from the middle, without any bias due to size. One almost buried his head.
After entering the honeydew melon, he gnawed it vigorously with his upper front teeth. From time to time he raised his head and looked at the people around him and the passers-by in front of him. One of them broke it into smaller pieces and gnawed it.
While looking at the various people in front of me, they all had exotic faces.
Honeydew melon is fragrant, sweet and delicious.
Sanhua Empress couldn't help turning her head to look at him. Her face was full of juice. She felt that her nose was a little painful from being scratched. She wanted to imitate his actions and break the honeydew melon into small pieces. She even pinched the edge of the honeydew melon with her hands, but
Just when he was about to exert more force, he gave up, shook his head, and continued to chew hard.
This is obviously more fun.
When her upper front teeth were not long enough for her to chew on the honeydew melon, she had to press it harder, bringing her face and the honeydew closer together, which resulted in more juice being stained and the pressure on her nose causing more pain.
Then I scraped from top to bottom, and my nose suffered a big blow.
However, Sanhua Empress enjoyed it very much and ate it seriously, not caring about the looks of passers-by.
The caravans in front were constantly coming and going, and there were many pedestrians. They couldn't help turning their heads to look at them, and what they seemed to see was how comfortable and casual they were at this time.
About an hour later——
Song You ate the melon, rested, and looked at the passers-by in front of him, and finally finished the half of the honeydew melon.
The Sanhua Empress next to her was still chewing the skin. At this time, her face was full of juice and there were still a few melon seeds on it. There was not much meat on the melon, but she was still unwilling to stop. It seemed that she would not eat the melon.
She refused to stop chewing until only a thin layer of skin was left, but as she continued to chew, she suddenly raised her head and turned to look to the other side.
At the same time, break off a piece and feed it to the swallows.
There was some faint movement over there.
Song You also turned his head and looked over.
I saw a group of people walking on that street. The business travelers who were originally walking on the road saw them and quickly moved to the side of the road. At the same time, they stopped to watch.
There seems to be something strange going on.
As the group of people gradually approached, the sounds became clearer. Some of them were crying and some were scolding.
Even those who were relatively close to Song You heard the movement over there, and those who could understand the local dialect seemed to understand what was going on. Before they could get closer, they stepped aside to the side of the road and took a look.
Gradually, Song You also saw the group of people clearly.
Walking at the front were two warriors from the Western Regions, wearing multi-colored clothes and leather boots, with tangled hair and beards, and wearing scimitars at their waists. They were tall and strong, clearing the way as they walked.
Behind him were several men from the Western Regions, all dressed in noble clothes, wearing gold and silver, like local officials.
Behind them are two other warriors, escorting a young woman wearing a cloth robe. The woman has a beautiful face and a graceful figure. Her hands and feet are shackled. She is crying and refusing to move forward while walking. The two warriors are walking.
Pushing her forward, scolding her.
It seems to be something happening in this country.
Song You frowned as he watched the group of people approach.
I felt a vague feeling in my heart, as if I was connected to it, but I couldn't understand the local language and couldn't figure out why.
"..."
The Taoist put down the melon rind, stood up and looked around.
I wanted to ask a businessman with Dayan's face to ask. Even a businessman with a face from the Western Regions would probably be able to understand Dayan's words, but instead I saw a familiar face.
With a big beard and a big belly, he was holding some vegetables in his hand. He was the owner of the carriage shop.
Yes, it's not far from the carriage shop.
Song You walked over without hesitation.
Seeing this, the girl quickly stood up and followed with the melon rind.
The swallows also flapped their wings and followed.
"Shopkeeper."
Song You bowed and saluted him.
"Hey, why are you here?" The shop owner looked at them and smiled immediately, not losing his enthusiasm because they were not businessmen. "Can't you find your way back?"
"I made an appointment with Mr. Xie to hang out. They went to play somewhere else, so we came back alone and rested here." Song You paused and turned his head to look at the people walking in front, "I don't know what is going on.
What's going on, why are you escorting a woman through the streets?"
"It's not a parade. It's to be taken to the city gate and killed." The shopkeeper looked at the woman, "It's such a pity for such a young woman."
"What crime did she commit?"
"It all happened the night before yesterday." The shopkeeper said to him, "This woman is a maid in the palace. She said she was bringing wine to our king and lost the wine flask. The wine flask belonged to the former Dayan Emperor.
The king was very fond of the jug given by the emperor to the king. He searched for her all day in the city yesterday but couldn't find it. He will take her out and kill her today."
"I see……"
Song You understood immediately.
It turns out that the problem is here.
Those great monks were indeed full of lies.
The temple is fake, the monks are fake, it is fake that the people of Jade City know who took the things, and it is also fake that gold and silver rewards will be left behind.
"..."
Song You couldn't help but turn around and rubbed Tong'er's head.
It turns out that I came out today not only to visit Yucheng and see the local customs and customs of Yucheng, but also because I came here to unintentionally owe the karma the night before.
"May I ask the shopkeeper..."
"What?"
"Do the officials in Yucheng speak Dayan dialect?"
"The Biyu Kingdom is a kingdom of Dayan. Of course the officials and nobles in the palace can speak Dayan dialect."
"The owner can just stay here."
"What do you mean...where are you going?"
The shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at him.
When the palace warriors passed by, everyone was trying to avoid them. Only one Taoist priest walked out of the crowd and came to the middle of the road.
Warriors are domineering and scold many people.
If the Taoist hadn't had a face like Dayan's, I'd probably have to draw a knife at him.
Suddenly, the team stopped.
Everyone looked over in surprise.
"I am Taoist Dayan, a practitioner of Dayan. I am traveling here and heard that a treasure was lost in the Yucheng Palace. I happen to know where it is, so I came here to help the monarch find it. Please forgive me for quarreling with it."
"..."
The warrior didn't understand what he said and looked back at the official.
Instead, several officials stepped forward.
"Who are you?"
"Taoist Dayan, my surname is Song and my name is You." Song You didn't talk nonsense to him. He just took out two ultimatums from his arms and handed them over, "I have the ultimatum from Dayan and the handwriting of Shazhou Zhizhou."
Several officials immediately gave way to an official who could recognize Dayan's writing and took the handwriting to read.
Seeing that it was indeed a letter written by the governor of Shazhou, stamped with the official seal, and the wording was quite respectful, several people immediately respected Song You in awe.
"Do you know where my king's lost treasure has gone?"
"It was stolen by demons outside the city."
"That's the wine flask given to my king by Emperor Dayan. You can't lie!"
"But a wine pot, a silver pot with golden flowers, inlaid with red emeralds? And three cups, all of the same style?"
"Hey! Your Excellency, you really know?"
"I've seen it before and know where it is."
Song You remembered that he had drank less than half a bottle of wine at that time, and couldn't help but sigh to himself.
Then he looked at the woman next to him who was crying and putting all her expectations on him. She didn't say anything like "Why did you anger a maid when you knew it was a monster?" She just said to the official in a gentle tone: "
Since it was a monster who did this, and if I can find her back, please tell the king to spare this innocent maid."
"Do you really know where it is?"
"Outside the west city gate, walk along the main road for forty miles. There is a mountain on the right. The meadow on the mountain is exactly half the same as the forest. Please hurry up and send people to search for it on the mountain. You may be able to find it, but you may lose it."
"What if I can't find it?"
"I will try to find it within one month."
"Your Excellency is so confident?"
"Just do your best."
The official stood there, thinking for a moment, then turned around and muttered to a few others, as if discussing, and then decided: first send a warrior to the palace to report to the king, and then send another warrior to ask him to take people to Song Dynasty immediately.
