I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 208
The distant mountains are like ink, layer upon layer, clouds and smoke are hazy, ancient pine is bent over, and the grass on the ground is like silk, blown to one side by the wind.

Two people and a cat sat on the side of the road, surrounded by a fire.

A few thin wooden sticks, wearing sausages and steamed cakes, were placed on the edge of the fire to smoke, and the sausages were already sizzling with oil.

Two horses, one black and one red, graze nearby.

"Sir, do you still remember Anqing Yanxian?" The swordsman talked to the Taoist while staring at the sausage.

"Naturally remember."

"Shu received news in Changjing that Anqing Yanxian had recovered several fine varieties from overseas, and said that the yield per mu was higher than that of the oriental rice introduced by He Xiang decades ago. People in Anqing believed in Yanxian as God, many people have already started planting. I heard that the court has also received the news and attached great importance to it. They said that they will try planting in Anqing, and if the effect is good, they will be vigorously promoted." The gray-clothed swordsman said, "I don't know if it is true or not. .”

"I'll know later."

"I heard that in order to praise Anqing Yanxian's achievements, the national teacher proposed to name it Yanmi, Yanpotato and Yandou." The gray-clothed swordsman smiled, "Now the common people can't support themselves by farming. Well, if the fine seeds brought by Yanxian really have such a good harvest, it will be of great merit, if it is false, then many people in Anqing will starve to death this year."

"Did the national teacher suggest it?"

"I heard it is."

Song You smiled.

I don't know if it is a rumor or what, but if it is really suggested by the national teacher, then it is really full of good intentions.

The gray-clothed swordsman turned the sausages and steamed cakes.

Looking up at the opposite side, she found that the three-flowered cat next to the Taoist was staring at herself without blinking, her eyes were clear and pure, like Yizhuang in Jingzhe that year, she huddled in the quilt and stared at herself.

"It's ripe."

Shu Yifan took down the baked sausage, and handed the first skewer to Song You, Song You handed it to Empress Sanhua, and Shu Yifan handed over the second skewer.

Steamed pancakes with sausages are not bad.

People in the Jianghu eat quickly, and the gray-clothed swordsman finished his meal quickly. He picked up his water bag, raised his head and took a few sips. Seeing that the water bag was empty, he still raised his head, held the water bag, and waited for the last drop. Water dripped down.

"I'm going to fetch water."

By the way, he picked up Song You's water bag.

There is a mountain spring next to it, and the spring water is clear.

The gray-clothed swordsman quickly went to fetch the water and came back, but at this moment, he found that the three-flowered cat beside the Taoist had disappeared, and instead there was a little girl.

The little girl was wearing three-color clothes, she seemed extremely bored, but also very lively, walking back and forth on the road in front of the Taoist, her legs seemed unable to bend when she walked, and she had to raise her legs with every step, kicking the gravel on the ground Zi'er smashed his leg straight down again, walked a couple of feet away, then turned around and walked back.

During the period, he glanced at the two horses beside him from time to time.

It's like comparing two horses which is taller.

"..."

The gray-clothed swordsman froze for a moment.

The little girl turned around, tilted her head, and stared straight at him without saying a word.

With just this look, he was able to confirm who the little girl was.

"gentlemen."

Shu Yifan brought the water over.

"Thank you."

Song You took the water bag and smiled at him, "Rest for a while, let's continue on the road."

"it is good."

Shu Yifan didn't say much, and sat down again.

The little girl was still pacing back and forth, but no matter when she was going back and forth, she always turned her head to stare at him, and he also quietly stared at the girl, the eyes of one person and one cat met from time to time, it was very novel.

After resting enough, we continued on our way.

With a swordsman walking together, it saves a lot of worry.

This is the official way, there may be strong people and thieves, and there are people who bully the weak and want to get something for nothing, but there are no bandits in groups.

However, there are swordsmen in the same company, which still saves a lot of effort in exploring the road and collecting firewood.

It has been out of the boundary of Changjing.

It was raining ahead.

At this time, the group happened to walk to a plank road facing the river.

One side of this place is blue spring water, which is stirred up by the rain in circles of small ripples, and the other side is an almost vertical cliff wall.However, just above this stone wall, someone carved out a very wide plank road.

The plank road is about one foot wide and nearly ten feet high, and the height is also very close to the water surface. It should be half natural and half excavated, but it is hard to imagine how big a project it is.

"I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while." Shu Yifan said to Song You.

"At least it won't stop until it gets dark."

"It's dark?"

Shu Yifan looked up at the sky, did not doubt Song You's words, and immediately said: "In this case, we may not be able to continue on our way."

"Yes."

"Fortunately, although this riverside stone road can't hide from the wind, it can also hide from the rain." Shu Yifan said, "It's a pity that there is no firewood here, so we can't light a fire."

"That's all it takes."

"Ah."

Shu Yifan himself wandered around the rivers and lakes, and was often hit by wind and rain, so naturally he didn't care, he was just worried about Mr.

Since Song You didn't care, he didn't say anything.

But at this moment, someone came from afar.

The pace is very fast.

"..."

Shu Yifan's hearing was keen, and he turned his head to look in an instant.

I saw a figure walking from the direction they came from along the plank road along the river, dressed in gray linen and linen, about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance.But the strange thing is that he walks very fast, not only fast, each step is also very far away, he can have a distance of nearly ten feet, and he is in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Shu Yifan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Cats are full of curiosity.

"Ha ha!"

When the man saw them, he stopped, but raised his head and smiled, and then said:

"Finally met someone."

Shu Yifan saw that he didn't look like a hostile visitor, but he didn't let down his vigilance, but asked:

"Who is coming?"

"Heroes, don't panic. I'm just passing by on the fifth day of the next Xing. I'm taking shelter from the rain on this road. By the way, where is this place?" The man smiled and asked them.

"This is outside the boundaries of Changjing, along the plank road along the Yuqu River."

"It turns out that we are almost at the border of Changjing." The man smiled and asked again, "So dare to ask the hero, is Changjing in this direction?"

"Changjing?"

Shu Yifan turned his head and looked at the direction he came from: "Isn't Changjing behind you?"

"behind?"

"Exactly."

"really?"

The man seemed surprised.

"We set off from Changjing, and we are going in the same direction as you. How can we still have leave?"

"Snapped!"

The man slapped his forehead and said angrily:
"Why did I go wrong again!"

"Where are you from?"

"I'm coming from Jingzhou and going to Hezhou. I planned to stay in Changjing today, but I didn't expect to come here by accident." The man said angrily, and looked up at the rain outside, "I didn't expect It’s actually raining today, and it’s hard to turn back now.”

"Jingzhou?"

Shu Yifan frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong.

Almost at the same time, Song You, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also spoke, and said, "I came from Jingzhou and wanted to stay in Changjing, but I came here. It's a bit far away."

"I'm just on my way."

"I don't know where to start today?"

"Didn't you tell the two of you?" The man was a little surprised.

"Could it be that you set off from Jingzhou today?"

"Jingzhou Angzhou junction."

"Even if it's the border between Jingzhou and Angzhou, it would take nearly a thousand miles to come here." Song You cupped his hands, "Your step is really good."

"Ha ha……"

The man just waved his hands and smiled, then cupped his hands and said: "The villain has some family-inherited skills, and walking hundreds of thousands of miles a day is nothing to the villain."

"I see."

Song You nodded and smiled, but said nothing.

Shu Yifan frowned slightly, but said nothing.

There are countless strange people in the rivers and lakes, not to mention the warriors who walk the rivers and lakes, even ordinary people who travel the rivers and lakes to make a living, often encounter some strange people, each with their own abilities, and they emerge in endlessly, which is not surprising.

Then the man said:
"It's raining outside right now, and I don't know when it will stop. If I start running, I'm afraid my clothes will get soaked. I don't think the two of you are evil people. I don't know if I can take shelter here with you. Staying overnight? It’s good to have a company.”

Shu Yifan didn't say much, he just looked at Song You.

"of course can."

Song You smiled and nodded.

"Thank you!"

It can be seen that this person is a talkative person. After thanking him, he immediately looked at the direction he came from: "When I came here just now, I saw many dead branches over there. I haven’t gotten wet yet, so I’m going to hug some and make a fire to keep warm.”

"What's so funny about that?"

"Don't be polite!"

After the man finished speaking, he turned and ran.

He still runs extremely fast and doesn't feel tired.

The gray-clothed swordsman withdrew his gaze, glanced at the long box on the bay red horse's back, and said to Song You: "Sir, a strange man in the world, with all kinds of strange methods, hard to guard against, please be careful."

"It's okay, if someone hears that I'm outside Changjing, and dares to seek treasures, it's too bold." Song You said with a smile, "Besides, I think this person's eyes are open, and he doesn't seem to have evil intentions." Don't worry about it, there may not be many people in the world who can take this painting from my hands."

"Mr. Benyi."

Shu Yifan thought for a while holding the sword, and then said: "In this case, I have gone to fetch firewood, so I can't be idle, so I will go to the river to catch a few fish, so that I can entertain him at night, so as not to take advantage of him." .”

"Be considerate, but it's raining outside."

"No problem."

"There will be a lot of work."

Shu Yifan nodded and went out the door.

Not long after, Xing Wu came back.

He held a large bundle of dry firewood in his arms.

"Huh? Where's the hero?"

"I went to catch fish near the river."

"So it is."

Xing Wu put down the dry firewood in his hand, shivering as if he was cold, then turned to look at Song You: "I don't know if you have flint and steel, sir?"

"No." Song You said, "but there are other ways to make fire."

"What is the method of making fire?"

"The cat below is good at lighting a fire."

"Ok?"

Xing Wu looked at the cat beside Song You with a puzzled expression.

Song You also looked at Empress Sanhua.

"..."

The three-flowered cat shook its head, took two steps forward, walked to the front of the dry wood, and opened its mouth lightly.

"call……"

It seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

Just heard a bang——

The dry wood immediately ignited by itself.

Sanhuamao also retracted its head, and continued to nest next to Song You, looking at Song You for a while, and Xing Wu for a while.

Xing Wu's eyes lit up immediately, he was surprised, and then saluted Song Xing: "I didn't expect that Mr. is also a master of morality, disrespect and disrespect..."

"It's all thanks to Empress Sanhua."

"Meow~"

"Miss Sanhua, don't be proud." Song You bowed his head to persuade, "You must know that humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind."

"Meow?"

"Same with cats."

Xing Wu watched from the side, and also found it very novel.
