I didn't intend to be a Fairy

A few days later, with several light rains in succession, the weather in Yidu has entered autumn.

Song You went out to listen to books as usual.

I spent more than a dozen cash for tea in the afternoon, drank half full, listened to the old man talk about the wonderful things, and gave a few more cash, just enough to make up the twenty cash.

When he stepped on the wet stone slabs and damp leaves to return to the small courtyard, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a three-coloured cat running towards him from the stove house. When he got close, it slowed down and looked up at him. It looked no different from an ordinary domestic cat, except that it was more intelligent and could speak human language.

"Taoist, where have you been?"

"It's the same as a few days ago." Song You replied honestly, "Miss Sanhua wants to go again? I'll take you with me tomorrow."

"Well……"

Sanhua Mao hesitated for a while, but did not answer, but turned his gaze: "What are you holding?"

It seems that the cat doesn't like listening to books.

As Song You thought about it, he also took out the things in his hands.

There were new oranges around Yidu. When he came back, he saw someone set up a stall on the side of the road and sold them very cheaply. He also weighed two catties. Immediately afterwards, I heard someone selling candied haws. It wasn't that I was so greedy to eat it, but I hadn't tasted it for many years, so I couldn't help but bought a bunch.

One person and one cat came together to the stone table.

Song You knew that most cats didn't like the smell of oranges, so he put the oranges aside, only picked up the candied haws, and took off one with his hands first.

"Does Mistress Sanhua eat candied haws?"

"Fruit."

"It's a fruit, hawthorn."

"Cats don't eat fruit."

"Eat it occasionally."

Sanhuamao turned its head and stared at him with a look of "Is it a cat or am I a cat?" After pondering for a few seconds, it said:

"Sanhua cats don't eat them."

After savoring it carefully, Song You realized that the "Sanhua Mao" here is probably equivalent to "Sanhua Empress", which is what it calls itself.

"You really don't want to eat?"

"Not tasty."

"I think it's delicious."

"Then try one."

Seeing that the candied haws had approached him, Sanhuamao stretched its neck and approached it, sniffed carefully, looked at it and then at Song You, both its sense of smell and reason gave it the feedback that it was not tasty, but hesitated After a while, it still opened its mouth.

Take a light bite.

The small fangs penetrated into the candied haws smoothly, the outer layer of rock sugar felt crunchy, and the hawthorn inside was also bitten open by it.

The three-flowered cat is biting its teeth alternately.

Song You didn't look at it, just took one and put it in his mouth.

The sugar coating was easily bitten off, as if there was a slight cracking sound in the mouth, and then the hawthorn exploded, and the sour and sweet taste exploded at once, and the hard hawthorn seeds kept colliding with the teeth in the mouth, with a cough Boom boom boom.

Song You couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

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 remembered.

I didn't know I was a guest for a while.

After a long time, the sweet and sour taste dissipated in his mouth, and Song You opened his eyes.

Sanhuamao had also finished eating the candied haws, leaving only a few hawthorn seeds on the stone table, two of which were bitten open, I don't know if any of them were swallowed.

Song You gathered up all the hawthorn seeds it had spit out with his hands, and spit out the ones from his own mouth in the palm of his hand, and put them together with its, before looking at it.

"Is it tasty?"

"What's that outside?"

"It's sugar."

"Candy is delicious."

"Hawthorn is not delicious?"

"The fruit is not tasty." Sanhuamao looked at Song You's expression, "Do you like it?"

"Um."

"Monkeys like to eat fruit."

"Then do you still eat?"

"Can Empress Sanhua only eat sugar?"

"Who will eat the fruit?"

"You eat. You like to eat."

"Then I don't want to eat what you licked?"

"Just licked."

"There's your saliva."

"It's just saliva."

"I'm afraid not."

"Then Empress Sanhua won't eat."

Sanhuamao's tone was clear and forceful, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and jumped off the stone table, shaking his buttocks and walking away.

Song You didn't care, and continued to taste the snacks.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Um?"

His intuition told him that it was Butou Luo.

Song You just finished eating the last candied haws, put the wooden stick on the stone table, and got up to open the door.

Sure enough, there was Luo Butou standing outside the door.

Today Luo Butou is still dressed in the same outfit, but he wears an iron ruler around his waist, and there are two people behind him, also dressed in soap clothes and boots.

As soon as he saw Song You, he cupped his hands: "Sir, you are polite, Luo has come to thank you and give you a gift."

After a short pause, he turned his head and said to the people around him:

"I haven't seen Mr. yet."

The two behind them also immediately cupped their hands, saying that they had seen Mr.

"Please come in."

Song You let them into the courtyard, closed the door, and led them through the courtyard until they sat down in the main room.

Immediately, he took out the teacup that Luo Tuotou had given him a few days ago, and placed it in front of several people, but no tea was poured in.

The three were immediately surprised.

Taking a closer look, I saw that the mouth of the cup was white and emerald green, the fragrance of tea was attractive, and it was a good cup of tea.

"Please drink tea."

"Mister is really a fairy trick!"

"Thank you sir."

The three of them quickly expressed their thanks and raised their glasses to take a sip.

"I heard what the team leader said, but the thief who escaped from the ground was caught?" Song You went straight to the point.

"Exactly!"

Luo Butou was reluctant to part with him, but he put the teacup aside for a while, and thanked Song You excitedly: "Mr. admire."

"Is the capture going well?"

"Extremely smooth." Luo Catcher said, "Three days ago, when I met the thief, I shouted out the words my master taught me. At midnight yesterday, when I found the hiding place of the thief again, he still wanted to use escape to escape." It escaped, but it got stuck in half of the soil, and I locked it up on the spot."

"That's good."

"Mister has done another thing to eliminate harm for the people." Luo catcher paused, and took out a wrap of red cloth from his arms, "I have agreed with Mr. in advance, and this matter will be treated as Mr. captured the thief and rewarded." The money should belong to Mr. Twenty taels here is the bounty of the edict, and the remaining twelve taels are a personal gift from my lord. Recently, the nobles in the city have repeatedly exerted pressure, and my lord has suffered a lot, so I have the right to thank you for your rescue."

Song You took the red cloth and opened it to see that there were three pieces of honeycomb silver around the waist, each of which was cast with the words "Ten Liang", which was Dayan's official silver.

It is heavy in the hand and heavy in the heart.

This feeling is really not comparable to paper money, and it is far from comparable to a string of numbers on an electronic screen.

But Song You only took two yuan, and handed the remaining one back to Butou Luo.

He didn't say that he just came up with a trick and that he shouldn't get the twenty taels, nor did he say that the captors worked hard day and night and should share some with them. It's tiring to do such things that only increase entanglements. . It's just that apart from the twenty-two taels of reward agreed in advance, he was unwilling to take the twelve taels of personal gifts from the county magistrate.

It's still the same reason, I don't want to increase the entanglement in vain.

Luo Butou understood immediately, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disobey the wishes of such an expert, so he had to put it away.

But I heard him say:

"However, Mr. Liu admired him very much after hearing about his demeanor from the bottom of his mouth, so he entrusted him to propose to him that he would like to reward him with a banquet. If he rewards him, he will set it up at Tianxianglou at noon tomorrow, but Mr. I don't know..."

Maybe Luo Butou didn't notice it himself, but before he knew it, his tone and attitude in front of Song You had been lowered.

Although Song You didn't do anything.

"No."

Song You had a smile on his face, but he refused flatly:

"I am a pure and undisciplined person in the mountains, and I only like to be pure on weekdays, so I should not be loved by adults."

"I understand."

"Trouble boss."

"Where is the question, sir." Catcher Luo respectfully drank the tea in the cup, "I still have official business, so I won't disturb the gentleman's cleanliness. The magistrate Luo will reply on his own. After this case, there will be more If there is any progress that might involve Mr. Luo, Luo will also report to Mr. from now on.”

"Thank you, boss."

"Farewell."

The other two also hurriedly got up after him.

Yidu is the prefecture of Yizhou, the third largest city in the world. The arresters here have seen the world, but they are inevitably embarrassed when facing such undisciplined masters.

The three of them didn't feel lost.

Didn't you see that if the magistrate wanted to get to know Mr. Song, he had to be careful to let Luo Butou lead the way?

"Squeak~"

The sound of the wooden door hinges was still sour.

It does sound annoying.

Song You stood at the door and frowned.

When he turned around, he saw the three-flowered cat jumped onto the stone table at some point, lowering his head to lick the bamboo stick he had eaten, and there was sugar left on it.

"..."

Song You shook his head and went back to the house to settle accounts.

It's been a while since I came to Yidu. Yidu is prosperous and the prices are high. Food and clothing costs a lot in the city. Including the rent, the purchases after moving, and the frequent visits to Goulan Washe to listen to books recently, it cost almost a few thousand dollars.

It should cost less later on.

This twenty taels, will it take a long time?

...

Two nights later.

Cool weather is perfect for sitting around.

Song You lit the oil lamp and sat in front of the window to read a book quietly.

The windows in front of me were wide open, and a full moon in the night sky had risen above the city. There is no urban neon lights, no traffic noise, only the corners of the ancient buildings and the full moon are deserted, the dark tiled roofs reflect the moonlight, and the pure darkness carries pure brightness.

Behind him, the three-colored cat lay quietly on its stomach, squinting its eyes.

The night was so quiet that only the sound of flipping a book could be heard.

This "Yudi Ji Sheng" also has the unique style of this world. In addition to recording famous mountains and rivers, famous palaces and temples, and Internet celebrity attractions that well-known literati have checked in with poems and articles, it also records some fantasy stories. place.

For example, Yunding Mountain is rumored to have been haunted by immortals.

In the myths and stories, the city of earth and fire where the god of fire sleeps forever.

The introduction is very detailed.

I don't know how long it has passed, the night is getting darker, and the oily smoke makes eyes hurt, Song You finally decides to call it a day and go to sleep.

Blow out the reading lamp, and the whole body is full of moon.

As soon as I closed the book by the moonlight, I saw the three-flowered cat behind me who did not know when it woke up, crawled closer, jumped onto the desk, and stared straight out of the window.

"Um?"

Song You also noticed the noise outside.

There were rustling sounds, coming from the courtyard wall, as if someone had climbed the wall.

But this sound is different from climbing a wall. It is more like a hard object colliding with a wall, a sharp object piercing the wall, the sound of wind blowing faintly in the night wind, and the clanging sound of tiles falling and breaking. The huge hideous head swayed outside the courtyard wall reflecting the moonlight.
