The old man waived Song You's tea money, and gave Song You a fee of 100 Wen for carrying the letter, saying that after delivery, his son would give another 200 Wen.

A total of three hundred Wen can be obtained.

Letters are usually delivered in two installments.

As for the letter, it was rolled up and put into a small bamboo tube. Song You casually inserted it into the quilt bag, and he also agreed with the old man that he would travel slowly by himself, so don't think he sent it slowly. Late.

So Song You led the horse and set off again.

When he turned around and looked around, he saw the old man nodding and bowing again, asking a group of Jianghu people, as if the letter hadn't been delivered yet.

This is normal.

These days, when asking someone to bring a letter, you will definitely not only bring one letter. If it is an important letter, it is normal to bring several letters for fear of not being delivered or being delivered late.

"Long County in Xuzhou, north of Lingbo County, Ganzao Lane, Chen Han..."

Song You muttered in his mouth.

You don't have to remember it, it's already written on the bamboo tube.

This address is easy to find.

It's just that there is still a few hundred miles to go to Xuzhou. I heard from my old man that Lingbo County in Longjun County is also very remote in Xuzhou, and the road is difficult. No wonder so many merchants and people from Jianghu do not go or pick up.

Fortunately, Chen Han at least lives in the county seat.

There is no map navigation these days. If the delivery address is relatively remote, from one state to a county, and then to a county, and the direction is not clear when arriving in the county, the sender has to inquire patiently. I don't know how much effort, how much time, and how many wrong paths I have to take along the way.

That's why this thin letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.

Thinking about it carefully, today is the fifth day of the lunar new year. According to previous years, I am afraid that the priests of Fuqing Palace are already on their way to Fulong Temple, right? If he had left early, the master might have read his letter.

I don't know what she was thinking when she read the letter.

That old Kundao is lazy and lethargic, if he leaves by himself, he will be hungry for nine meals in three days, right?

"Taoist, what are you thinking?"

The three-flowered cat that ran to the front stopped and turned back to wait for him.

Song You smiled and only followed slowly.

The bay red horse still silently followed behind him.

Then I travel across mountains and rivers again, leaving at sunrise and stopping at dusk. Occasionally, when I am in a mood, I travel both ways. When I feel lazy, I just find a comfortable place to lie down and take a nap in the sun. .

The Taoist is calm, and his footsteps are always the same.

The horse is honest, always silent and reliable.

The three-colored cat is the most lively, always swinging back and forth with one person and one horse. He turned into a human when he walked through the woods, turned into a cat when he walked by the river, turned into a cat when he was lying down with Song You on his lunch break, and turned into a cat when he sat on the back of a horse, laughed and patted the horse to tell the horse to run People always change like this.

I don't know if it's been seven or eight days.

I saw the green hills in the distance like Daisy, the ridge is flat, and there is a clear blue and white line where it meets the clouds. On this gentle curved ridge, one can see a man and a horse walking slowly from a distance. From this point of view, this person and horse seem to be walking in the sky, without knowing where they came from or where they are going. For a moment, it seems that there is only this person and horse in the world.

This is actually not the official road, but the top of the mountain.

The official road is on the mountainside below.

It was Song You who climbed up on the spur of the moment. He couldn't find the way at first, and it took a lot of effort.

The Sanhuamao doesn't quite understand this, but it's good to walk down there. There are trees to climb, insects to catch, and many bird's nests in the trees. The upside is much brighter than the halfway up the mountain, not so much fun, and it's mostly grass taller than her, so it's hard to walk to death.

And when the time comes, you have to bother to climb down.

Sanhuamao has a lot of questions, and I often ask why.

But she is just a cat, since she travels with this Taoist priest, she has no choice but to follow him.

There is no other way.

It was another day and night.

The three-flowered cat has been transformed for a long time, and has the supernatural power of exhaling. It can spit black smoke to cover the field of vision, and spit white smoke to make people sleepy. This is a common supernatural power of goblins. He used his ability to change clothes when transforming into a human form, so he transformed into a human form with the help of black smoke, and diligently went to collect a lot of firewood.

It's cold at night, so I need a fire.

The fire is the most comfortable.

Song You was facing west, sitting cross-legged, not comprehending the aura of the mountains and rivers here, just quietly watching the sun set.

Enjoy the sunset, and enjoy the glow.

Didn't turn around until dark.

Empress Sanhua piled up a pile of firewood behind her, and the quilt bag was placed on the withered grass. The bay red horse seemed particularly at ease, and also sat on the ground, chewing the nearby hay, and squinting at the girl.

The girl crouched by the woodpile, getting very close.

"Huh...huh...

"Ahem!

"call……"

Song You saw that she wanted to teach her the method of breathing fire, but she wanted to make a fire by herself, but after exhausting all her strength, she only spit out a cloud of gray smoke, and occasionally choked herself to cough.

"You almost do it..."

Song You whispered to her, but paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled again, and continued: "But it's only a little bit close. If you work harder next time, it will definitely succeed."

The girl raised her head and glanced at him, she believed in what he said without any doubt, so she felt confident, took another deep breath, and her chest puffed up.

"call!"

A cluster of bright yellow flames spit out from her mouth.

But at this moment, the fire she spit out was just ordinary fire, nothing magical, and she spitting out a small mouthful of firewood, it just ignited the firewood, it was not enough to burn people, it was far from being able to ignite it.

"Congratulations."

Song You smiled and said to the girl: "Mistress Sanhua is very talented, she has already learned how to breathe fire in just a few months."

The girl ignored it and just focused on blowing out the smoke.

There are many sparks mixed in the gray smoke.

After a while, he turned his head in disappointment.

"Can't burn..."

"It's already great."

"How long have you been studying Taoist priests?"

"..."

"Why don't you talk?"

"Being able to spit out open flames shows that Empress Sanhua has already walked on this road. In the future, just learn more and practice more. Remember, every time you cast a spell, you must firmly believe in success."

"Then how long have you been studying?"

"..."

"How long have you been studying Taoism?"

"Two days."

While answering, Song You stretched out his hand and pointed.

"Top!"

The firewood suddenly burst into flames.

The girl sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the fire in front of her, without saying a word.

Song You borrowed the fire to bake two steamed cakes, which were similar to the steamed buns in the previous life, but here they are called steamed buns, but they actually have stuffing inside, and they were often called steamed buns in the previous life. I wanted to roast some jerky for Empress Sanhua, but she said that she didn't want to eat it right now, and she didn't want to eat jerky either. She said that there were mice on the mountain, and when the mice came out at night, she went to catch fresh ones to eat.

The kitten eats better than he—

It's only spring, and the weather is still cold, but she has no worries about food. Catching insects on the roadside, catching birds during the day, and catching mice at night are all her daily routines. The food for You is also taken care of.

After dinner, it was getting cold, so Song You found a flat place, burned it with fire, spread the wool felt from Yu Zhizhou, covered it with a blanket and lay down.

Empress Sanhua is lying with her beloved horse.

Lie down and open your eyes to see that there are so many stars in the sky, the sky seems to be unable to hold it, so it hangs down to the earth along the night.

"Miss Sanhua, please look at the sky."

"Mistress Sanhua is looking at the sky."

"The sky is full of stars."

"Saw."

"Does Empress Sanhua know? Every star in the sky is a world like ours, but some have people and some don't. Maybe when we look at the stars, there is someone on the stars looking up at our direction look."

"Are there cats where there are people?"

"Most likely."

"What about places where there are no people?"

"Maybe."

Song You replied in a low voice, his heart became more and more quiet.

Empress Sanhua has a kind of thinking that is detached from others. Whenever he said something to her, her answers or questions always made him feel very strange, and made him feel extraordinarily relaxed.

Song You asked softly, "Are the stars beautiful?"

"nice."

"There are so many trees under the mountain, I can't see the stars."

"You can see it here."

"That's what it means for us to climb up."

"right."

Empress Sanhua raised her head and looked at the stars eagerly.

I just think the stars are so beautiful and shiny.

She couldn't help but want to reach out and grab it.

And she really stretched out her hand, waving and waving in the air in front of her eyes, gesturing and gesturing.

If it is to climb up to see the stars, although it is hard work, although it is impossible to climb trees and catch birds, it seems to be possible.

Then I heard the Taoist's voice again:

"Mistress Sanhua."

"Well?"

Empress Sanhua felt something, she suddenly put down her hands and turned her head.

I saw the Taoist exhale inexplicably:

"I didn't like this world before."

"Why?"

"There are many reasons."

"Why?"

"Because this world is backward and primitive. There are no brightly lit cities, no convenient transportation, and no wonderful Internet. You must know the world's affairs without leaving home, and you cannot taste the food of most regions in one city, and there are many meals. It’s not tasty. The city is smelly during the day, feces are everywhere, and the clothes of passers-by are mostly dirty and tattered. At night, if you don’t have money to light candles, it’s pitch black. There is a dim light that is as big as a bean in the sky, and this world is also like this, it is pitch black, except for the magic of gods and ghosts, and the natural scenery, I don't know what wonderful places it has."

"It's not dark at night! You can also catch mice!"

"Look, it's so hard to deliver a letter."

"Sending letters is so difficult."

"It's also because this world is strange and ignorant. When I first came, I had no relatives, and the world is ignorant. Even scholars and sages are trapped in this era. Most people either like to trample on others, or they are used to it. Being trampled on, or both, a lot of times I don't really want to talk to them at all."

Song You lay down and looked at the stars, but there was no arrogance on his face, only the usual indifference.

Empress Sanhua said honestly this time:

"Can't understand."

Song You only smiled when he heard the words.

That's why he would tell her.

At some point, Mistress Sanhua turned back into a cat again, and crawled over from Song You's side, across his body, stepping on his upper body, and then ran to the other side, touching his face with her little paws.

The paws were cold and had the texture of sand.

"Taoist priest, you are not happy."

"Not to mention."

"what is that."

"It's just a little emotional."

"What do you say--"

"Um?"

"Do the stars also think we are pretty?"

"Maybe."

Empress Sanhua is healing him.

I can't hold the starry sky in my eyes, the bonfire around me continues to burn, and there is a crackling sound, and not far away, the bay red horse is lying down and gnawing grass, and the chewing sound sounds very comfortable.

The sound of the wind and whispers are all calming.

Master said before that his arrogance towards the whole world was hidden under his gentle and indifferent appearance.

In fact, this is inevitable.

Song You never refuted, and tried to restrain himself.

But that was already in the past. After arriving in this world, as time grew and he grew older, he gradually figured it out.

Since it is doomed to be difficult to go back in this life, he tried his best to integrate into this place, to let go of his heart, to accept this world, to let go of his vision, to see and appreciate other unique beauties of this world.

If you don't know what's wonderful about it, go find it. If you can't think of anything nice about it, go see it.

Traveling down the mountain like this, thousands of mountains and rivers, world affairs and human conditions, nothing else, he just hopes that this life can be more exciting, more interesting, and live up to this life.

Fortunately, fortunately——

It has only just set off, and it has already gained a lot.

Thanks to the leader of the "willful waste wood" boss, bow and show your chest!
