I didn't intend to be a Fairy

The story is not long.

Of course, Wang Shangong was omitted, and he was entrusted by Wang Shangong to find Mistress Sanhua. He only said that he saw a cat temple there, and there was a little cat god in the cat temple. The gods communicated and talked, and knew that the cat god worked hard and worked hard to help people catch mice. Later, I went down the mountain to ask, and it was true.

Perhaps it is because the communication with Wang Shangong is saved, and the trouble of the little cat god is saved, or perhaps it is because Song You's storytelling skills are not superb, and it is not so surprising and interesting. Such a big reaction, some people still don't believe it after hearing it.

A few people think the talking cat is cute.

Fortunately, Song You had also passed the test. It happened that it was getting late, and there were cries from the nearby streets and alleys. When these children heard it, they immediately ran back, like a group of sparrows. Song You also took Empress Sanhua and the woman to Chen Han's house.

It is still chilly in early spring, and the evening wind blows.

"You have a good story."

"The story of your step is also very interesting."

"I think so too." The woman didn't hesitate, "I think it's a wonderful thing, it's different from other times when I wandered into ghosts at night, I'm afraid I will remember it before I die."

"Life is rich with one step."

"Stop coming."

The woman glanced at Song You faintly: "Although the story you told is similar to coaxing children, I can tell that it is true."

"How did you hear that?"

"Expression, tone."

"How to say?"

"You enjoyed meeting that day."

"I see."

"Are you going to Anqing tomorrow?"

"yes."

"I think you are a nice person. You can deliver a letter from such a long distance and bring a cat with you. You will not be a bad person. I originally wanted to say that you will be with me tomorrow morning. There are many bandits on the road. You were lucky before, but tomorrow may not be the case." Everyone will let you go, and I can protect you for a while." The woman said and paused, "But I asked you to go out together in the afternoon, and you didn't promise me, so I can't invite you again."

"I misunderstood..."

"There is no need to explain! Since you are talking about destiny with me, then that's it. We will wake up naturally tomorrow morning and go out naturally. If we can meet, it means that there is destiny, and we will go to Anqing together. If not, forget it..."

The woman said and looked at Song You:

"how?"

Song You thought about it, smiled and said:

"good!"

"What is good?"

"good!"

"..."

The two have stepped into the courtyard gate.

Chen Han hurried out to greet him.

I thought I could eat beef at night. The price of beef and pork here is almost the same, which is barely considered a specialty. Song You is actually a bit greedy. However, Chen Han is a businessman with a lot of knowledge, knowing that Taoist priests don't eat beef, so he thoughtfully bought pork and mutton and made a big table.

After all, it was meat, and Song You still ate happily.

At night, I slept in the room on the left side of the yard.

The bedding was clean and tidy.

Empress Sanhua walked to the bed, and the obedient Ren Songyou pulled up the corner of his Taoist robe, wiped the soles of her feet, and at the same time raised her head and asked him, "Taoist, why did you tell them about Empress Sanhua?"

"Um?"

Song You thought for a while:

"Because Empress Sanhua has a noble character and is very cute. Children should listen to such stories."

"Kids don't seem to like stories like this."

"Wipe clean."

"oh!"

The three-flowered cat jumped onto the bed and continued to stare at him.

"It's because Empress Sanhua is so good, they don't believe there is such a cat god. It's also because what they want to hear are stories that scare people, and Empress Sanhua is only lovable." Song You was also in the dark He groped and got under the blanket, "This has nothing to do with Empress Sanhua."

"oh……"

The voices of each person and cat are very soft.

After talking for a while, he gradually fell asleep.

Song You had a dream in a daze.

In the dream was a Taoist temple. In the temple, there was an old Taoist, an old Kun Dao, with gray hair and an old face. She opened the envelope and took out a piece of letter paper, full of the fragrance of ink...

I don't know how she felt when she read the letter.

...

Early the next morning, I slept until I woke up naturally.

The Chen couple prepared breakfast and water handkerchiefs for them.

Song You thanked him respectfully.

After washing up, I came to have breakfast, and saw that the heroine's yellow-maned horse was still in the yard, but she was nowhere to be seen, so I asked while eating:

"That heroine hasn't woken up yet?"

"not yet."

"Did Mr. Chen pack up his things?"

"Cleaned up."

"When are you going to leave?"

"Leave when the villain's second uncle arrives."

"Mr. Chen, do you want to go with me? At least you can walk to the ferry safely."

"Thank you sir."

Chen Han paused for a while, showing a look of embarrassment: "It's just that Miss Wu made an agreement with me yesterday, let our family wait for her to wake up, and go with her..."

"Also."

"I failed to live up to your kindness..."

"Where is it, that heroine dared to walk the mountain road alone, she must be very capable." Song You said with a smile, "It's just a pity that I couldn't repay the hospitality from my step."

"Sir, you are a villain..."

Song You finished his meal, the woman was still awake, and he didn't wait for her, he just obeyed the agreement between the two, packed up his things, said goodbye to the Chen couple, took the remaining 200 cash for delivery, and went out.

Just after he got out of the hospital, he arrived at the alley, and met another child who heard him tell a story yesterday, and came from the opposite side with his adult.

The kid peeked at them, hesitated again and again, but still bravely greeted him:

"Sir, are you leaving?"

"gone."

"Where's the heroine?"

"Leave quickly, too."

"Go slowly..."

"Thank you."

When the two sides passed by each other, the child was attracted by the cat, so he lowered himself subconsciously, and reached out to touch the Sanhua cat, but unexpectedly, the Sanhua cat was very alert, and jumped forward in a flash, stopped and looked back at him.

The child grinned and waved her goodbye:

"Cats walk slowly, too."

Sanhua Mao stared at him intently, turned his head to think for a moment, and imitated Song You's tone, and said:

"Thank you."

The voice is soft and thin, extremely pleasant.

The child froze for a moment.

The adults next to him also opened their eyes wide, startled.

Sanhuamao was satisfied, and followed Song You and the horse with brisk small steps, and finally stopped to look back at them, then trotted around the corner.

"You……"

Song You shook his head and smiled slightly.

It’s also interesting to think about it carefully——

Maybe after today, I and Empress Sanhua will also become stories in other people's mouths. Many years later, or even decades later, these children will be old, and they may still be begged by a group of urchins to tell them today's story.

...

Most of the trips to Anqing are back on the same road.

The landscape is still beautiful.

The mountain peaks on both sides of the road are still the ones seen by the river, like spring bamboo shoots breaking through the ground, like huge boulders falling from the sky, covered with lush vegetation, sometimes lined up on the left and right, sometimes the path runs from the middle of these mountain peaks go through. It was blocked just now, and after passing a mountain, it was a vast flat land.

One person and one horse walked slowly, and the kitten jumped away very much.

The sun has been good recently, as if in the middle of a painting.

Especially in the early morning when there is still morning fog, so the Wanfeng jungle is shrouded in morning fog again, the green hills are half hidden, white clouds are piled up, and there are jingling bells in between, and the person walking from it, Anzhi is not a fairy.

Not far away, Song You suddenly stopped.

The horse followed him to a stop, but the Sanhuamao walked forward with brisk small steps. When it got to the front, it realized that the Taoist priest and the horse behind him hadn't followed, so it stopped again and stared back at them.

"What's wrong? Taoist priest."

"There is the sound of splashing water."

"what happened again?"

"Miss Sanhua, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, I heard it several times."

"Then I'm not as good as Empress Sanhua."

Song You heard it just now, and it was very faint.

It's not the sound of water flowing in the turbulent part of the river, or the sound of spray splashes caused by the height difference of the embankment, but a thud. When it reaches here, although the sound is small, it can be distinguished from its distance. Combined, it is more like a huge sound in the distant river. The sound of objects hitting the water.

Song You stood still, and the first image that came to mind was the giant whale in the sea jumping out of the water, with a black back, white striped belly, barnacles growing on its body, and an elegant figure in the air.

Then it suddenly fell to the surface of the sea, splashing everywhere.

"What kind of voice does Mistress Sanhua think?"

"The sound of fish."

"That's it."

"What's wrong?"

"Does Empress Sanhua know where she is?"

Sanhua Mao was puzzled when he heard this, but he still turned his head and glanced to the left, and then answered:

"This way."

"good."

"Do you want to go fishing?"

"Go and see."

Song You looked to the left of the road.

However, the jungle is dense and the mountain peaks block the way. I really don't know how to get to the river.

At this moment, a flute sound was suddenly heard.

Song You pursed his lips again and listened quietly.

I just feel that the sound of the flute is quiet and melodious, ethereal and pleasant, piercing through the mountains and forests in front of me. It was clearly a sound, but when I heard it, I seemed to see an empty valley and secluded forest, with the fragrance of dew and green grass, and I couldn't help but feel the coolness of the early spring morning, and my ears were washed clean.

Perhaps this is the fairy spirit in the poet's mouth.

After listening for a while, the sound of the flute was getting closer and closer.

Song You stopped for a while and walked forward slowly.

Turning a corner, I saw a young man in his teens, wearing sackcloth, a bamboo hat, and a coir raincoat, sitting sideways on the back of an old cow, with one leg curled up under his body and the other hanging leisurely , carrying a bamboo basket on his back, filled with grass.

A bamboo flute, which seems to be a very beloved thing, is also tied with red tassels.

It was a shepherd boy who rode a bull through the forest.

The grass in the forest is deep, the dew is still fresh, and it is crystal clear, just like the shepherd boy riding a bull, and like the sound of the flute, it is not stained by the dust of the world.

Not a mortal scene, not a troubled world.

It is from the painting.

When the shepherd boy saw the Taoist, he suddenly fell silent.

Only then did Song You bow and salute:

"Polite."

The shepherd boy quickly learned to salute, his movements were clumsy.

"What's wrong……"

"Don't panic, I'm just here to ask for directions." Song You paused, "However, I can hear the melodious sound of the flute from a distance, and everyone's music is just like that. I love it in my heart, but I don't know if there is a name for the song that I played ?”

"I do not understand……"

"Good to hear."

"Blowing around..."

"Does this song have a name?"

"I don't know. Everyone on our side knows it. It seems that they don't have a name."

"Pity."

Song You shook his head. It's not a pity that it doesn't have a name. It's just that it can be passed on to future generations if it has a name. It's easier to fall into history without a name.

But he still clapped his hands and praised: "In any case, you played very well with one step, not inferior to everyone in music."

"I only know this one."

"I see……"

Seeing the flustered look on the shepherd boy's face, although he was not rude, he also felt that he should neither make people flustered for no reason, nor disturb the aura, so he asked again:

"There are bandits here, aren't you afraid?"

"This side is next to the city, and there are no bandits."

"You have to be careful too."

"Where are you going, sir?"

"Go to Anqing."

"Go forward Anqing, there are many bandits on the way..."

"The bandits won't make things difficult for a Taoist like me." Song You tried to soften his voice, "But I don't want to ask the way to Anqing, but I want to ask you, where can I walk to the river?"

"What are you doing by the river, sir?"

"Hands are dirty, I want to wash them."

"There are monsters in the river, they can eat people."

"I'm right on the shore."

"Walk a little ahead, there is a way to go down." The shepherd boy looked at him worriedly, "Be careful, don't get into the water."

"Thank you..."

Song You cupped his hands to thank him, and continued to move forward.

The horse pulled a mouthful of grass from the ground, and followed slowly while chewing, while the kitten looked at the shepherd boy and the buffalo more, and also at the horse, as if they matched each other, and then followed.

The shepherd boy couldn't help but turned around and stood holding the flute. Looking at this line, he felt strange and strange.

And the hand under that gentleman's sleeve...

clean.

Puzzled, the shepherd boy got on the back of the buffalo again and walked towards the village, but he hesitated for a long time before letting the buffalo turn around, and went to see what the gentleman was doing.
