Chapter 4: Morning Rush
The rooster crows at dawn, and a flash of morning sunshine emerges from the top of the mountain.
Without the master shouting, Lin Yingying obediently sat up from the bed.
The long black and soft hair shawl, the eyes have not been opened, and a big hache is played, and the fleshy little hands rub the eyes.
After the second Hache fight, Lin Yingying's eyes finally opened, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and she began to look for Li Yuan's traces as soon as possible.
On the inside of the head of the bed, against the wall near the window, Li Yuan curled up into a circle, his body covered his eyes, his paws holding his ears, and he was still asleep.
Maybe it was because he slept too sweetly, Li Yuan even made a gurgling sound.
Turning around, in the direction of Li Yuan, using her hands and feet together, wearing plain white clothes, Lin Yingying crawled to Li Yuan's side.
seemed to feel the movement, Li Yuan, who was still sleeping, curled up tighter, and the paws holding his ears also moved slightly.
With her buttocks falling, her thighs pressed against her calves, her hands propping up the bed, her upper body bent forward, and a bright smile on her face, Lin Yingying looked fondly at Li Yuan, who was asleep.
"Hee-hee!"
laughed happily, because her body kept leaning forward, Lin Yingying's hair was already scattered on Li Yuan's body.
A wisp of green silk happened to land on Li Yuan's half-exposed pink nose.
The nose twitched, Li Yuan felt the itch in his sleep, his body instinctively sneezed, his claws also shifted from his ears to his nose, and his palms scratched a few times.
The smile on her face was even bigger, Lin Yingying raised her hand to pull up her hair, pinned it behind her ear, and lowered her head continuously, placing it in the center of Li Yuan's body.
"Master! Master! ”
Lin Yingying's exclamation instantly broke the purity of the Taoist temple.
When I got up early, the old Taoist priest who had already washed up and cleaned up was standing in the courtyard, facing the direction of the rising sun, ready to start the day's practice.
Hearing the apprentice's exclamation, the old Taoist priest put away the frame he had just set up, and hurriedly walked to the single room where the apprentice slept.
"Master, Xiao Hei has been drinking."
Walked quickly to the door of the single room, and before he could open the door and go in, the old Taoist priest heard the voice of the apprentice again.
His face changed, and the old Taoist priest turned his steps, pointed to the ground on his toes, and hurried to his room with great strides.
Rushed into the room, opened the wooden cabinet at the foot of the bed, removed the clutter in the wooden cabinet, and took out a pale yellow gourd from the corner of the deep wooden cabinet.
The gourd was about the height of two palms, and as soon as the old Taoist priest picked up the gourd, he first shook it, and then pulled out the lid at the top.
After making sure that there was no shortage of wine in the gourd, the old Taoist priest secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Relaxing, the aroma of wine in the gourd kept falling into the nose of the old Taoist, stimulating the old Taoist's sense of smell and taste buds, and the wine worms in his stomach woke up.
Without holding back, the old Taoist priest took a small sip.
"Division... Father! ”
Before the mouth of the gourd left her mouth, Lin Yingying's voice sounded from the door of the room.
With her hair casually on her shoulders, her dirty coat covered in a gray-blue loose robe, her small mouth bulging, and her wide eyes, Lin Yingying looked at her master angrily.
Li Yuan was held in her arms at this time, still looking half-asleep and half-awake, meow!
"Master, you're secretly drinking again! Hum! Muttering unhappily, Lin Yingying hugged Li Yuan and walked into the old Taoist's room.
"I'll see if Hei has stolen my wine." The old Taoist priest explained, put the wine gourd back on, and held the wine gourd in his right hand, which was naturally placed behind him.
Walking in front of the old Taoist priest and lifting Li Yuan in his arms high, Lin Yingying said with concern: "Master, Xiao Hei seems to have been drinking, do you see if there is something wrong with him?" ”
Quietly put the wine gourd on the bed behind him, and the old Taoist priest took Li Yuan.
Glaring at Li Yuan, whose eyes were slightly open, the old Taoist priest sniffed and smelled the smell of wine on Li Yuan's body.
I wondered a little in my heart, where did this lazy cat steal the drink?
Noticing that the apprentice didn't blink and kept staring at the concerned eyes, the old Taoist priest felt slightly sour in his heart, pressed his doubts, and carefully checked Li Yuan's body.
After checking it and finding no problems, the old Taoist priest handed Li Yuan back to his apprentice.
"Xiao Hei is fine, you go wash up, it's too late to miss the morning exercise."
"Thank you, Master!" With a smile on her face again, Lin Yingying hugged Li Yuan and trotted out happily.
........
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
In the backyard of the Taoist temple, two people and a cat who were sitting around the stone table and eating breakfast stopped moving.
Li Yuan was the first to react, and before the old Taoist priest could stand up, he had already run towards the front yard.
Li Yuan is so active not because of the curiosity of the cat, but because he knows the visitors outside the door.
Ran to the door of the Taoist temple, jumped up suddenly, opened the latch, and jumped again after landing, Li Yuan opened the door.
The door opened, and a tall young man dressed in blue shorts, pudding shorts, hair coiled, and dark skin came into view.
Standing outside the door, the man seemed a little nervous, but when he saw Li Yuan inside the door, a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"Blackie, why are you here?"
The man's name is Pan Dayuan, his father died shortly after he was born, and he was raised by his mother alone.
In order to support him, his mother went to the street to sell vegetables during the day and help people sew clothes at night, and her husband left a wooden building facing the street and two acres of land, so he barely managed to make ends meet.
The neighbors on the street can help their orphans and widows live in hardship, and from time to time give their mothers and children some food and old clothes.
Growing up in such an environment, Pan Dayuan developed a kind-hearted, loyal and honest character, he often helps others, and has a good reputation in the town.
Pan Dayuan likes small animals very much, and Li Yuan, who has not yet been adopted, overslept when he slept on the dock once, and slept until noon.
Pan Dayuan, who was working at the dock and had just finished moving the goods, was about to rest, noticed Li Yuan, and while he was sleeping, he stretched out his hand and stroked it.
Li Yuan, who was woken up by Pan Dayuan, glared at him angrily for a long time, until Pan Dayuan took out his lunch from his arms, and after sharing some of Li Yuan's head, he let him go.
It is also because of this incident that one person and one cat are acquainted, and Li Yuan, who has the talent of listening to the voices of all things, knows that Pan Dayuan is a kind and honest person, and is willing to be close to him, and rub some food from him from time to time.
"Meow!" Li Yuan raised his head and shouted a few times at Pan Dayuan, which was counted as a response.
"Blackie, who's coming?"
At this time, the old Taoist priest also came over.
"Lin... Chief Lindao! Excuse me! ”
As soon as he saw the old Taoist, Pan Dayuan became a little nervous and stammered when he spoke.
The old Taoist priest has real skills, under the Taoist temple, Sanhua Town near the river, and nearby villages, people in these places will find the old Taoist priest to deal with some things.
Therefore, the old Taoist priest is very prestigious and highly respected in this area.
