The little Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, wiped his nose with the back of his hand, stood up with his robe, pointed at Shi Gui and said, "You wait, I'll give you a good thing." As he spoke, he ran away as fast as he could, and the robe blew as if his feet were off the ground.

The front play has not yet dispersed, the later it is, the more people there are, the banner on the altar is called the mountain wind to blow full, the stage sings the eight immortals across the sea, Lu Dongbin is dancing the sword, there is a good applaudation at the bottom, and the special little guy sprinkles the copper coin up, the sword dances halfway, first bows his head and thanks for the reward, turns around and then puts it

That set was played again, Shi Gui watched it for a while, and Mingyue came back.

ran with red cheeks, sweat on the tip of his nose, panting in his mouth, holding a piece of yellow paper in his hand, with five thunders written on the paper, just looking at this word, it was not written by him, the little Taoist licked his lips and stretched out his hand to her: "Oh, you take it." ”

Shi Gui turned over and looked at it for a while, puzzled by what it meant, and the little Taoist stomped his foot in a hurry: "This is written by my master, five thunder talismans, remove filth and save safety!"

Taishi Gong is Song Lao Zhenren, this talisman is not easy to get, I am afraid that he can take out the best thing, Shi Gui smiled, carefully folded it and put it in his purse, and the little Taoist priest talked endlessly, saying that this thing is heaven and earth, if it is really the handwriting of Song Lao Immortal, it is indeed a good thing.

Shi Gui thanked him, thinking about what to pay him back, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Is there anyone watching the fire in the kitchen here?" The little Taoist priest shook his head and rubbed the ground with his shoes on his feet: "It should be Senior Brother Qingsong today." ”

Shi Gui beckoned to him, and the two of them went all the way to the kitchen, avoiding people from passing through the corridor, the moon was big and round, and the wind blew a burst of pine needle fragrance, singing in front of him, and scared away the animals at night.

The kitchen is connected to the hall where the head of the house lives, except for the guards who guarded the door, they have already all gone to watch the play, and the two of them walked all the way to the door, Shi Gui pointed to the door: "You hide first, I'll go and say." Pushing the door in, Aomatsu was sitting at the table with his head tilted and yawning.

Shi Gui coughed, woke up Qingsong, and greeted him with a smile: "Hello little master, I'm hungry, and I want to borrow the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles to eat." As he spoke, he took out seven or eight dollars: "Don't bother the little master, I'll burn the stove by myself." ”

Qingsong was asleep, he didn't have his share in watching the play before, someone would come to borrow the kitchen, and the food was not his, and he could get a few dollars for nothing, looking at her appearance, she was the girl of the Song family, it didn't matter if she borrowed a kitchen, and said pretendedly: "You have to watch the fire, I'll be back in a while." ”

Shi Gui Mali responded, Qingsong closed the door and went out, and after a while, Mingyue came in, there was a little spark in the stove, Shi Guidong touched the west, and found a handful of noodles, and the hanging bamboo basket was full of baskets of eggs, she boiled water, put down the noodles, and touched four eggs, two fried in oil, two were beaten in the noodle soup, cut the green onions, and made a bowl of longevity noodles for herself.

Shi Gui cooked noodles, Mingyue squatted to watch the fire, he was impatient to do these things, but he had to eat, it was different, while watching the fire while swallowing saliva, his stomach rumbled.

When the Song family came to the mountain, these little Taoist priests ate a lot, but he had no oil and water in his stomach for many years, and he felt hungry when he saw everything, and he was scolded by the fat senior brother for having his throat connected to his stomach and intestines, and he was not full of how to pour it in.

He swallowed his saliva for a long time, and finally waited for the noodles to come out of the pot, but he didn't care about the heat, so he took a bite of the noodles and took another bite of the poached egg.

As soon as this birthday passes, she will be nine years old, in previous years, the family was together, when she was poor, she couldn't afford to eat noodles and eggs, Qiu Niang also had to think of ways to make some food for her, this year her father and mother Xizi were not around, she could also clean up a bowl of noodles herself, blow the heat and eat half a bowl, Mingyue has already eaten the basin empty.

touched his belly and burped, sat on a bench with his legs propped up, that is, there was no shortage of food in the kitchen, and he would also be punished, and when it was his turn to eat, the things were already cold, and after such a hot and full meal, his whole body was hot and sweaty, and he was satisfied and lay on the bench.

Shi Gui looked at him and laughed, ate clean noodles and put the bowl into the basin of the dirty bowls, and waved his hand: "You hurry up, don't let your senior brother see you, be careful that he beats you again." ”

Mingyue ate warmly, took off her shoes and walked out, feeling that the talisman was really not given in vain, touching her swollen belly, humming a minor tune and walking back, Shi Gui caught up again: "It's late tonight, the front play is going to disperse, you wait, I'll give you the money tomorrow." ”

Shi Gui went back to the house, but the good ginger hadn't come back yet, but the green calyx was sitting in front of the bed, and when he saw Shi Gui coming back, he pursed his lips and smiled: "You come." Beckoning to her, Shi Gui didn't know why, so he walked over to the green calyx and put his head to her ear: "How many days have you been born?"

Born in August, so it is called osmanthus, Shi Gui didn't expect her to remember this and smiled: "Today is the right day." The green calyx smiled even sweeter, and handed her the purse she had made in her hand: "I don't have anything for you, this is for you." ”

It's a green cloth purse, Shi Gui didn't think that she was holding it in her hand every day, just to give her a birthday gift, Shi Gui was speechless for a while, the green calyx eyes flashed with a faint light, and it was the first time that he smiled so happily for many days, Shi Gui was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Thank you." ”

The purse is embroidered with layers of osmanthus flowers, there are branches and leaves, the flowers are dense, Shi Gui praises and praises repeatedly, and immediately hangs it on the waist, and turns a circle to show her,

The two made a mess, shared the sweet jujube cakes to eat, and at night the green calyx reached over, pinched Shi Gui's hand, and whispered to her: "I want to stay at the Song family." ”

Shi Gui knew in his heart that the green calyx could never stay, even if he thought about it, he couldn't do anything, the Song family refused to bear this notoriety, and the Ye family would not bear this notoriety, so he had to send her home, and asked, "You really don't remember your family?"

Green Calyx was silent for a long time: "I don't know, I can't even remember my hometown, I don't know anyone in my clan, so I looked for it, what will they do to me?"

Shi Gui couldn't answer this question, she didn't say anything for a long time, her palms pinched by the green calyx were slightly sweaty, and she fell asleep first after a while.

On the second day, the reward was given as usual, Shi Gui and the green calyx really got two hanging money, and the rest of the girls also had their own rewards, Shi Gui went to the agreed place, but waited for the little Taoist priest not to come, put the money in the purse, dug a pit under the pine tree and buried it, and pressed three stones on the top.

When you come, you are slow, when you go, it is fast, it is easy to go up the mountain, it is difficult to go down, you don't look at the foot to look at the mountain, your legs are shaking and your body is weak, and you can move a little bit for a while while holding a half.

Or often walk the mountain road porter taught them to stare at their toes, if you look down, it is dark and you can't go down the mountain, just walking feels bumpy, like an old lady sitting on a sliding pole like this, but you can't close your eyes and go up and down the mountain, Shi Gui thought about it and smiled, laughed all the way down the mountain, and then thought, I don't know if the little Taoist took the money.

Back to the other garden, the people turned over on their backs, Ye went back to the house and rested, but the little girls were not idle, they ate vegetarian for more than a month, and it was easy to come back, Shi Gui went to talk to Mrs. Zheng, she was roasting pork skin, baked thin and crispy, the pork was cut into minced foam, fried with sauce, rolled up with cakes and eaten, and took a bite of oil.

As soon as Shi Gui smelled this smell, her stomach rang, and Mrs. Zheng sighed: "I know you are coming, hurry up and eat some, there is no meat in Mrs.'s house." ”

Shi Gui was holding a burrito in her hand, and she was stunned when she heard the words, she only thought that she was going to do something to break the meat, how did she know that the Ye family was actually a person who didn't eat meat, and there were many complaints outside, and those in it didn't make a sound from big to small, because they were used to eating, and there was no difference between them.

Mrs. Zheng took a piece of pork skin and dipped it in the sauce, and the bite made a crisp sound in her mouth, Shi Gui ate the cake, and followed her example, and ate the pork skin without burritos, Mrs. Zheng looked at her and laughed twice: "It's only been a few days, and there is no oil in the stomach?"

Shi Gui took out the reward she got this time, and divided the two coins into the Zheng Pozi, and the rest of the small bits and pieces given by the Ye family, she didn't say that the reward for this trip was enough.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and stroked her: "Godmother really didn't hurt you in vain, go back later, if you are hungry, just come to me, I will make you meat to eat." ”

Shi Gui doesn't give it, Mrs. Zheng can also inquire, it is not beautiful to let her reach out to ask for it, it is better to take the initiative to give it, she can still read a good, distressed is distressed, but Shi Gui still has to rely on her.

Mrs. Zheng gave her a burrito, let her wipe her mouth, rinse her mouth with tea, and then went back to the courtyard, Shi Gui also wanted to go to see Mrs. Sun, and just spread the smell on her clothes, and went out of the kitchen to the back door, and the main family came back, Mrs. Sun didn't dare to start, seeing Shi Gui smiling, she didn't think that she would come to see her as soon as she came back.

"The flower cloth clothes that your mother made for you, have you tried it?" said with a smile, and made a cup of chrysanthemum tea, which was the early chrysanthemums that bloomed in the yard, and the small ones were picked and dried, Shi Gui also had the idea of this chrysanthemum, and before she reached out, she was transferred to Ye's house.

Shi Gui was about to reach out to receive the tea, when he heard the words, he was stunned in place, his heart was beating wildly, his face was red and white, and he took a breath and asked urgently: "My father and mother have been here?"

Grandma Sun lost her mouth for a while, and she didn't expect Grandma Zheng to hide the news, and frowned: "I came here two days ago, saying that it was your birthday, and I would send you some dumplings and a flower cloth shirt." ”

Qiu Niang also brought Xizi with her, and the little housekeeper went in to call someone, and Qiu Niang, who came out to see Mrs. Zheng, politely said that it would take more than ten days to come back, how could the family be willing to live in the town for many days, give something, and the person left.

Or Qiu Niang is not at ease, went around the door, saw the back door open, there are merchants selling goods, the little girl is buying beads, this is rushed over, Sun Pozi heard the same rhetoric, no matter how fast there are three or five days, poured tea for Qiu Niang, and grabbed a handful of sugar for Xizi to eat.

Shi Gui's fingers tightened, these Zheng mother-in-law had never said a word to her, her teeth were clenched, and her heart was like turning over the five-flavor bottle, and when she saw her like this, she also knew the trick, and sighed: "They said that they would come back later, knowing that you can go out with your wife now, and you are decent." ”
