Chapter 11: The Female Ghost Sings and Dances
"We'll clean up the weeds in the yard tomorrow, and today while it's still dark, we'll go out and buy some things and come back." Song You said to Sanhua Cat, "Does Sanhua Niangniang stay in the yard to rest, or follow me?" ”
"Sanhua Niangniang follows you."
"Do you want me to hug you?"
"Huh?"
The three-flowered cat tilted its head and stared at Song You.
"......" Song You smiled at it, "I just see that you have been gone for a day, and you are a little tired." ”
"Not tired."
"Good ......"
Song You pushed open the door again and walked out.
The three-flowered cat followed him with small steps.
Now the world seems to be in the transition stage from a two-meal system to a three-meal system, depending on the personal economy, many people have started to eat three meals a day, and some people sometimes eat three meals a day and sometimes two meals a day. At this point in time, people who eat three meals a day have just started to eat, and they have finished eating two meals a day, so it can be seen that many bored people sit under the big tree and chat and enjoy the coolness, some hold a fan to beat mosquitoes, and some hold bowls, which is very lively.
Seeing Song You coming out of this courtyard, the people who were resting in the cool invariably stopped chatting, and they couldn't help but cast strange glances at him.
Seeing that he was wearing a Taoist robe, his gaze was a little more subtle.
It seems that the topic has increased again.
Although Song You was only staying temporarily, he also nodded to them, and then walked into the distance.
Dayan does not have a fang market system, and you can buy things anywhere, but there is still obvious concentration of shops. This part of the area where it is now is mainly occupied by residential buildings, and if you want to go shopping, you have to go down.
They hadn't gone far before they started talking again.
Song You didn't listen carefully, because it was getting dark, so he had to hurry up, he just muttered to himself as he walked, muttering about what he wanted to buy.
The first thing is not the bedding.
Now that the beginning of autumn has just passed, the summer is not yet in the summer, the weather in the city is still hot, and he can spend the night in the mountains so cold, what are you afraid of in the city?
When Song You came out, he looked around, there were brooms and dustpans and other cleaning utensils in the yard, and a lot of furniture was also complete, but there were no pots and pans, and the first task at the moment was to buy a pot and a bucket, and it was not too late to open the pot, and then go to fetch water and buy firewood, Song You needed a hot bath.
Down the straight alley at the door, it is the prosperity of Yidu.
The white walls and green tiles, the eaves are like forests.
I saw that both sides of the road were full of shops, and the doors of the shops were full of all kinds of highly personalized signboards, which were completely different from the costume films of later generations.
Some of the signs are almost in the middle of the road, and some of them are huge. Some stores hung huge flags on the top, and some stores wrote their names on a huge curtain hanging down from the storefront. There are also shops that have built huge gatehouses in front of them, which occupy a lot of the street front, and pedestrians have to either make a little detour or have to go under the gatehouses of these shops. There are also some shops that have already lit up their light boxes before it gets dark.
In short, how to appear atmospheric, how to attract attention, how to show strength.
In later generations, everyone said that the ancient town was too commercial, but in fact, in comparison, the ancient town in later generations was already very plain, at least the signboard shape was very uniform, and the municipal management could not allow the shops to repair the signboard gatehouse to the street.
And in this day and age, it's a culture.
"Wow~"
Seeing this, Sanhua Niangniang couldn't help but marvel and almost forgot to walk.
When he came back to his senses, Song You had already walked away, looking up from its angle, the backs of passers-by were almost the same, it was stunned in place for a while, and finally found Song You standing in front of it waiting for it, and hurriedly trotted to follow.
While running, he raised his head and looked left and right.
I didn't go far before I came across a shop that sold barrels and tubs.
Song You bought a bucket and a basin, and asked the store where there was a shop that sold cooking utensils, and after putting the bucket and basin back, he went directly to pick an iron pot - the iron pot has not been popular in this world for a long time, but it has already entered thousands of households with its superiority.
I bought another pair of clogs.
Walking back, it was getting dark.
Some shops have lit light boxes at the entrance of the attics, which can be understood as a kind of large floor lanterns and glowing signs, and they are beginning to welcome the night market of Dayan.
Yes, there is no curfew here.
"Lots of lanterns and candles."
"Sanhua Niangniang likes?"
"It's so bright!!"
"I'll pack it up tomorrow and take you out for a stroll in the evening?"
"Hmm......"
Sanhua Cat didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Song You: "Do you like it?" A sparkling evening. ”
Song You just smiled and didn't answer.
The night here is far from bright enough.
……
That same evening.
Luo Zhutou sat at the head of the bed, his feet freshly taken out of the tub were soaked red, and a woman took a handkerchief to wipe off the water droplets for him.
"I heard that there is someone living in the courtyard opposite? As soon as I got back from class, I heard someone talk about it. ”
"I've heard that it's a young gentleman."
"Little Mister?"
"yes." The woman took up the veil and stood up, and stood before her to speak to him, "Maybe you are a capable man, and you can stay a little longer, and it would be a good thing if you could make that courtyard clean from now on." ”
"What if it's clean or not, people don't bother you easily, and when you sleep, she stops." Luo Zhutou said, "Then again, how can there be so many capable gentlemen? There are a lot of people who can catch some little demons and ghosts. ”
"I was panicked."
"I don't do bad things on weekdays, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, I sit upright, I know neighbors, I'm a good person when I'm alive, and I can become bad when I'm dead? What are you afraid of? ”
"Then you say, how long can this little gentleman live?"
"Young people are bold, and they may be able to last longer."
"How long is it?"
"Who knows......"
Luo Zhutou's tone was tired.
At this moment, the woman's singing voice faintly floated from the opposite side, the song was faint and clear, like crying, in this night, it sounded a little chilly, and this voice was familiar to the neighbors in the neighborhood.
The two immediately stopped their movements and looked ahead with bated breath, as if they could look through the door and the courtyard wall to the scene in the courtyard opposite.
Luo Zhutou sighed in his heart.
Tomorrow morning, the little gentleman is afraid that he will report to the official again, and he will symbolically send someone to take a trip. He's been through it a few times in the past few years, and he can't find that female ghost anyway.
Gradually, his heart became clearer, and he leaned his back against the wall, and listened intently to this little song.
At the same time, diagonally opposite the courtyard -
Song You had just finished taking a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and there was still moisture on his body, his clothes were loose, the material was rough but not abrasive, and he was very comfortable.
Listening to the song, he paused for a long time at the door of the room, but his hand had already pressed the door frame but did not push it open, and it was not until the end of the song that he pushed the door out. I saw a faint black shadow swaying on the white wall in the courtyard, and the long hair was over the waist, which was terrifying.
Song You only gave Shi Ran a salute: "The lady was born with a good singing voice, and her singing skills are even better, I don't know if I can do another song?" ”
The shadow paused abruptly.
Then there was a bang and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Song You was also stunned and couldn't help shaking his head.
When he lowered his gaze again, he saw a three-flowered cat squatting at the door, looking like this, it seemed that he was guarding him here during the whole process of his bath.
"What does Sanhua Niangniang mean?"
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't Sanhua Niangniang exploring her new home? Why did you come to this door and sit again? ”
"I'm done investigating. I heard you getting water inside, and I was afraid that you would drown, so I ran to the door and waited for you. The three-flowered cat tilted its head to stare at him, its eyes flashing with curiosity, "What are you doing in there?" ”
"Take a bath."
"Humans are weird."
"It's not going to drown."
"Strange Strange ......"
Song You didn't pay much attention to it, and walked back to the room on clogs, creaking with every foot.
The room had already been cleaned and laid out with brand new bedding.
By the light of the moon, a cat could be faintly seen running past his feet, and went to bed before him, turned its head to stare at him, and said:
"That ghost was just talking."
"I hear you."
"It sounds weird."
"That's called singing."
"What is singing?"
"It's a nice form of artistic expression."
"I don't understand."
"It doesn't matter." Song You paused, and then looked at the Sanhua cat, "Is Sanhua Niangniang also sleeping next to me tonight?" ”
"You sleep over there." Sanhua Cat glanced at the other end of the bed, showed him where he slew, then retracted his gaze, and continued to think, "Sanhua Niangniang can sleep in this corner at night." ”
"It's fine."
The bed is still huge.
Song You lay down, but couldn't sleep for a while.
It's not because of the female ghost in the courtyard.
I don't know where the female ghost came from and what she was going to do, in short, he rented a house through regular channels, and it was true that he couldn't afford to rent another house in the city, so he had to live here for a while in the future. Since you have to sleep here anyway, you might as well get some sleep first.
But how to arrange it in the future makes him troubled.
The master asked him to go down the mountain, definitely not to let him change places to practice in a daze, but how to find some fun broke his brain.
Today's shopping passes by a tile fence, the lights are still bright, this seems to include drama, dance music, commentary, acrobatic performances and other forms of performance, as well as sports, eating and drinking as one of the comprehensive entertainment venues.
Maybe go give it a try.
You should also buy a few books to read.
It would be even better if you could buy "travel books", not only because you have a plan for a period of time, but also where to go in the future.
Unconsciously, Song You also fell asleep.
At night, there are faint people swaying outside the door, and the shadows of people and trees hit the ground together in the moonlight, and the shadows are more than enough.
This did not bother Song You.
It was Sanhua Niangniang who really bothered Song You.
Sanhua Niangniang said that she was sleeping in the corner of the bed, but she was unconsciously attracted by the temperature in Song You's bed, and instinctively got into his bed. The cat's sleep is shallow, it loves to be active at night, and when it hears some movement outside, it will crawl forward in the bed, drill out to check, and then get into it after reading, and sometimes wake up Song You and ask him what to do.
But maybe he hadn't slept in bed for several days, even if he was disturbed like this all night, Song You actually slept well.
I was woken up in the morning by the sound of a rooster crowing, and it was refreshing.
