Chapter 107

The light from the oil lamp struggled to fill the upstairs room.

The three-flowered cat turned around on the wooden floor, sniffing left and right, and the Taoist also stood in the middle of the room, looking around.

The upstairs room is quite spacious.

The wooden floor creaked when stepped on, and creaked in some places.

There is a wooden bed, a table, and a small stool. The wood used is the same, and the color is similar. Most of them are from the past, but they can meet daily use.

There is also a wide bench, obviously bought later.

It should have been purchased by the later owner.

The previous owner still left the quilts, but Nvxia Wu didn't take them away or throw them away. She probably wanted to keep them for the next renter, and maybe use this to raise the price a bit.However, after smelling it, Song You felt that the smell left by it was not very good, so he didn't plan to use it.Tonight, I will temporarily use wool felt to make the bed and cover it with a blanket and thin quilt. I will go out tomorrow to buy new bedding, wash and put away the wool felt and wool blanket, and use it when I leave Changjing and go east to north. Maybe I can accompany myself a lot Year.

Looking around at this time, I feel that a long couch can be placed near the window, a low tea table is placed in the middle, and cloth cushions are bought to put it. On weekdays, I can drink tea and write by the window, and watch the street view below.

You can also pull a curtain to separate the room and buy a small bed for Empress Sanhua to sleep in.

With a little planning, there is a picture in my mind.

In this way, the room is not bad.

Empress Sanhua's soft voice came from behind: "Is this our home for the next year?"

"almost."

"Are you going to sleep?"

"what happened?"

"Mistress Sanhua is going out to catch mice."

"But remember to come back and recognize which one it is."

"I am very smart."

"If you encounter other Taoist priests, monks, monsters, and wandering gods who make things difficult for you, you can say that you are from Fulong Temple, and you just came out to catch mice."

"knew!"

"Go..."

Song You took out the oil-paper bag from the quilt bag, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from it, and spread it out on the table.

Arriving in Changjing today, there are many things to remember.

But just as the paper was spread on the table, the three-flowered cat that just said it was going to catch mice suddenly jumped up from under the table and asked her. When she started to write, she stretched out her paw and played with the lanyard on the pen.

The whole cat was lying on the table.

Even temporarily settled down in Changjing.

……

The room seemed to be a little bit airy, and it was cool. In the middle of the night, the imperial guards patrolled past, with heavy footsteps and the sound of armor rubbing, and the street was very noisy in the morning.

However, it was a good night's sleep.

I don't remember when Empress Sanhua came back, and I don't know if she caught mice or if she was full.In this regard, Song You communicated well with her. Generally speaking, when Mistress Sanhua catches a mouse, she will eat it outside before coming back, and the parts she doesn't like to eat will also be left outside. When she goes to bed, she will clean her body. A wet handkerchief will be placed on the bedside for her to use as a foot wipe. Ever since Song You said that wool felt and wool blankets are very expensive, she seems to cherish it even more than Song You, and will carefully wipe her feet every time. Very clean before going to bed.

I didn't see her when I woke up.

Song You put on his clothes and went downstairs, but he didn't find her until he opened the door, only to find her lying on the street basking in the sun, eyes squinted, and passers-by walked around her, which was very comfortable.

Look next door——

The door was closed and locked.

"..."

Song You went back to the room again, asked the horse to come out, washed up a bit, then locked the door, and walked out of the city with the horse.

Sanhuamao opened its eyes at once, stood up, and followed with small steps.

One person and one cat, remembering the way while walking.

Lest you can't come back in time.

Until we leave the city, there are still many houses on both sides of the road. There are many restaurants, hotels, and various businesses. Into the barren hills.

A mountain can be seen in the distance.

Song You touched the bay red horse and said apologetically:
"The house in Changjing is really cramped, and it's inconvenient to raise horses. If you are invited to live in a place specially raised horses for others, I'm afraid you will suffer. It's better to run freely in the wild and graze freely. Please go as far as possible to the mountains over there. Go somewhere inaccessible, don't go too far, I will come to find you after a year."

"puff……"

The bay red horse only snorted.

Song You took off the bell around his neck, and tied a red string instead. On the red string was a small plaque similar to that of Sanhua Niangniang, and it was also a corner broken from the plaque of Fulong Temple.

"You already have spirituality. I believe that ordinary people can't embarrass you. Now that you wear this brand, people with good morals may not embarrass you." Song You paused at this point, "If you feel free outside If you are more comfortable, then go find your freedom, go further, and I will not come to you."

"Sorry..."

The bay red horse raised its neck and screamed.

Song You just smiled and didn't restrain it with words.

Temporary thoughts do not mean forever, horses should run freely in the wild.It waited for itself for a year in Yunding Mountain last time, and this time it made an agreement with it, in case it stayed in the wild for a long time, met other wild horses and played with them, and then changed its mind.

The three-flowered cat behind him also raised his right front paw and touched the horse's hooves. With his head raised high, he had a different opinion from Song You: "Ma'er, wait for us to find you."

"Go."

Song You patted it.

The horse ran a few steps, looked back at them, and ran away towards the mountain over there.

Mistress Sanhua was especially reluctant.

Song You just smiled.

It would be a good thing to reunite with it, but it wouldn't be too bad if it didn't, and there would be no bad results after a year, so there was nothing to worry about.

"gone back."

One person and one cat walked back.

Sanhuamao turned her head three times a step, until she could no longer see the bay red horse at all, then she looked back and looked up at Song You again:

"Will it grow up next year?"

"It's grown."

"Will it grow bigger?"

"will not."

"This morning, the woman next door said that she went out to do errands and would come back in the afternoon. She told you to wait at home earlier in the evening so that you can go out for dinner."

"Did she tell you that?"

"correct!"

"Mistress Sanhua has already started to take care of things."

"It's in charge."

"Correct."

"What means?"

"It means Empress Sanhua is smart and reliable."

"correct!"

One person and one cat slowly walked back to the official road.

Maybe it was too late yesterday, or maybe there were other things in my heart, but I didn't take a closer look at the scenery outside the city.

Looking at it today, I can only see a piece of flat land with a winding dirt road. On both sides of the winding dirt road, some houses are scattered or densely distributed.In early spring, most of the vegetation is withered, and peach blossoms are in full bloom again. The people walking among them are only small from a distance, and those riding horses and driving carts are bigger. It's like an old painting.

Song You stepped into the ancient painting.

There are children chasing small dogs, there are cats running around on the road, many literati and refined scholars go out for an outing together, old people sit at the door and wait for the passing of life, and there are also low-level people struggling to make a living.

At noon, I ate at this small stall outside the city.

After entering the city gate, it is actually not too bad.

Look at the merchants hawking on the street, the pedestrians are like knitting, there is no lack of expensive clothes, there are also young masters like jade, and beautiful daughters.Turning around and walking into the alley, there are also craftsmen silently weaving bamboo basket brooms, with thick calluses and deep cracks on their black hands, hard workers walking silently with heavy loads on their backs, and women sitting The door is worried about today.

Everywhere is life.

The Taoist walks with the same steps, walking through ancient paintings, as if walking through history.

Come another day and take a closer look.

I have other things to do today.

Song You found the newly rented house, went to the nearby market to buy rice noodles, filled the rice and noodle tanks at home, fetched water from the nearby well, washed the water tanks, and filled them again. He also bought a load of woodcutters who brought firewood to sell at the entrance of the alley, so that there would be firewood to burn at home.

You also need to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

And new bedding...

It took half a day to send the horses, and it took almost half a day to finish these, but every moment is something to do, and there is no waste, so I feel full of heart.

That's pretty much how people live.

By the time I finished my busy work, it was almost You o'clock, and the setting sun just happened to shine on the street.

The rest of the time is yours.

So Song You took a bench and sat at the door of the room with Sanhua Mao, basking in the sun, watching all kinds of people coming and going on the road ahead, watching the clouds in the sky change their shapes, enjoying the comfort of this moment.

Neighbors stared at him.

……

The sun has dyed the floor tiles golden.

Wu Suowei wandered over from the end of the street, and saw two figures, one big and one small sitting at the door, at a glance.

Big hands crossed his chest, squinted his eyes, the sun was shining on his face, and he thought he was an old man without looking at his face.The little Duan Duan was sitting on the ground next to him, squinting his eyes, and raised his paw to lick.This made her feel like she just came to Changjing, and that person and cat have lived here for many years.

People are enjoying life, and she is running around for life, which makes her feel a little envious, and she can't help but smile at the beauty of this moment.

"Yo! Where's the sun?"

The cat had spotted her a long time ago, put down its paws and turned to stare at her, but the Taoist turned his head at this time.

"I'm home?"

"It's nice for you!"

"Be free and have nothing to do."

"The horse sent away?"

"Send away."

"Is the house tidy? Have you bought the things you want to buy?"

"The ones I need in a hurry are almost ready."

"Are you not in a hurry to use it?"

"Buy slowly."

"Tsk tsk..."

Wu Suowei took out the key and opened the door of his house.

He went in without doing anything, just took out the dagger hidden in his clothes, threw it on the table, and turned around again.

But I saw that the cat had come to her door at some point, looking up and staring at her intently, those eyes seemed to be thinking.

"Hey……"

Wu Suowei grinned and stepped out the door again.

Close the door again.
