Luo Zhutou came back late today.

Wang still brought hot water to wash his feet, and when he saw that his officials were tired, he couldn't help asking:

"Still haven't you caught it?"

"How can you catch it?" Luo Zhutou let out a long sigh, "That man is suspicious and cunning, we have set up several traps, either the method is ineffective, or he saw through it in advance and did not step into it at all." ”

"What doesn't work?"

"It's the method of the master of Tai'an Temple."

"The county ...... over there"

"There are still a few days to go."

"If you want me to say, it's still not okay to catch it so hard, although people can't fly into the sky, but they will escape to the ground, let you catch it, isn't it embarrassing? Is it possible to put him up so that he can't touch the ground? Wang said, washing her husband's feet carefully, "You still have to find a master to help." ”

"What else are you looking for? Isn't the method of burying a circle of dung from the master of Tai'an Temple? ”

"Ask someone else for advice."

"Where else can I find someone else?" Luo Zhutou was irritable and melancholy, "I know some people who exclude demons and exorcise ghosts, but you also know that they are just a group of daring people who know some local methods, and at most they can come up with some bad ideas, I'm afraid they won't help me." ”

"I think the little gentleman on the other side is capable, so I might as well ask him what he can do."

"The little gentleman? Expert? ”

Luo Zhutou couldn't help frowning.

"The little gentleman has been moving next door for several days, and he has no fear at all, and he goes in and out normally every day. I chatted with him tonight and asked him if he wasn't afraid of the female ghost in the courtyard, guess what he said? ”

"How?"

Wang informed him of the conversation this evening.

After Luo Zhutou finished listening, he didn't necessarily hear how much skill Song You had, but he immediately felt that he was a wonderful person.

"Not afraid of the ghost, maybe it's just bold, even if you have the ability, you may not be able to help." Luo Zhutou picked up his leg from the wooden basin, and did not immediately pin all his hopes on it, "If there is no way in a few days, I will bring a gift to visit." ”

Wang squatted down again and wiped his feet.

……

I sleep alone on the three poles of the sun, not a god is better than a god.

Song You slept until noon again.

It's getting late these days.

Sometimes I lie in bed until noon before I get up, and sometimes I get up early and meditate in my room until noon.

This will save you a breakfast.

In the afternoon, I read a book, and if the weather is good, I go out for a walk, buy some food, and cook dinner with my own hands. In the evening, I go out to rest and chill out, get together with the neighbors around me, listen to them talk about the shortcomings of the family, and feel the life of Yidu City.

Every night, the ghosts in the courtyard still sing one or two songs as usual, otherwise they dance in the courtyard, and sometimes they can see the shape and appearance clearly.

She was a woman who was no longer young.

After Song You got used to it, he didn't care about it at all, he really only regarded her as a spice for a boring life.

She even gradually developed the habit of listening to music.

Sometimes he is not shocked when he suddenly appears at night, but Sanhua Niangniang is easily frightened, and often walks around a corner to meet her, or when he is doing something, he will be frightened and jump when she suddenly appears.

But last night......

This woman sometimes wanders around in different rooms, and last night she actually opened the door of Song You's room and watched him at the door for a long time, which undoubtedly affected his sleep.

If it weren't for his conscience, he would definitely blame the reason why he slept so late and woke up on this female ghost.

However, this problem still needs to be solved.

“……”

Song You thought about it for a while, and decided to go out and buy a few pieces of jute paper, then buy a pen inkstone and cinnabar, and draw a few talismans to paste at the door of the bedroom, so that the female ghost could not get close.

At the same time, in the past few days, more and more people have heard about him and think that he has the ability, so some people began to ask him about the evil and the ghosts, and some people wanted to ask him for the talisman to ward off evil spirits or keep the peace.

In the past, it was also a big source of income when I was at the Taoist temple.

There seem to be a lot of miscellaneous things sold near Goolan, so you can go and see it after eating.

Song You thought so, and also got up.

The leftover sauerkraut porridge from last night has not been eaten yet, and it is hot in the pot, and it is lunch at noon, which is also delicious.

After eating and washing the dishes, Song You walked out directly, and only said to the Sanhua cat in the yard: "Sanhua Niangniang, I'll go out, please take care of your house." ”

"Got it."

The three-flowered cat was so focused on playing that he didn't look back.

Song You went out and went down the alley.

I didn't go far, and there was a fence of tiles.

As mentioned earlier, this is a comprehensive entertainment place for eating, drinking and playing, relying on the prosperity of Yidu, although it is now daytime, it is also very lively.

Along the way, in addition to singing opera, there are also commentators, wrestling competitions, and throwing pots and archery, each with its own views and plays.

Song You obviously came to buy yellow paper, but he couldn't help but be attracted by the old gentleman who was commenting on the book for a while, and sat down here.

I even asked for a pot of tea.

"Then Ayanqi led a group of personal soldiers to chase from the water to the land, that is called a desperate chase, and Marshal Ma must be killed here! At the critical moment, Marshal Ma fled onto a small road, and Ayanqi hurriedly caught up, only to see a general appear on the road in front of him!

"What a majestic general!!

"Black helmet, black armor and black battle robe, black tiger head combat boots under his feet, a red tassel gun in his hand, a spotted beast under his crotch, his face is like a crown of jade, and his eyes are like cold stars!

"Behind the general, five hundred sword-wielding captains, all of them are generally tall, each holding a big knife, the knife is five feet long, the head of the knife is two and a half feet, the knife shaft is two and a half feet, the big knife is a thick back of the blade flying thin, the back is thick with a finger, the blade is thick, the light is bright and bright, the blue is cold, there is still a cold across a few zhang, each person is also carrying an iron tire bow and carving arrows behind his back, one by one is like a tiger with wings, Jiaolong in the middle of the sea......

"It's General Chen Xin and Chen Ziyi!

Ayanqi was immediately shocked, how could Chen Ziyi appear here?

"What's more important is, who can beat Chen Ziyi under his current command? Who can beat this Chen Ziyi's personal soldiers? ”

This is a real history of the world.

It happened just a few years ago.

At that time, there was a war in the north of Dayan, and Ma Hong, the generalissimo of the three armies, was accidentally ambushed, and the army was defeated. When he was about to be captured by the enemy commander, General Chen Xin, who was very popular among the storytellers, arrived, and it was rumored that he almost single-handedly drank Ayanzi's pursuers, saved the marshal, and left a legend.

The old storyteller told the story in a very passionate tone, of course, with some artistic processing.

Song You is very interested in this kind of story.

I probably think that such a legendary story must go down in history, so many years later, most future generations will read this story when they read history, right? Read the same story he had heard thousands of years ago. This is also a kind of comfort for him, a person who is stranded in ancient times.

So he listened to it all the way before he got up and left.

Didn't forget the purpose of coming out.

Then I walked around the inside and outside of Goolan Washer and successfully found a shop that sold jute paper.

It is not necessary to use yellow paper to draw symbols, but for a long time, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism and folk strangers have formed a habit, and most of the symbols are painted on yellow paper.

You don't have to use hemp paper.

Generally, rattan paper and hemp paper can be used, and there are few bamboo paper, let alone rice paper. Generally speaking, each place has its own habits, for example, where hemp paper is produced, jute paper is used to draw symbols, rattan paper is used to draw symbols in places where rattan paper is produced, and Yizhou is rich in bamboo paper and hemp paper.

Song You is also used to jute paper.

The paper in this shop is well done, the paper is thick and tough, and as long as the paper is not damp, it is not easy to change color for a long time.

Jute paper is thicker and rougher than white hemp paper, showing a pale yellow color, and there are some straw sticks and confetti on the back, which does not affect the use. It's just that Song You picked up a piece of jute paper and looked left and right at the sky, and always felt that the color was a little wrong.

"Guest, what's wrong?"

"I don't know if I'm dazzled or what, I always feel a little reddish?"

"Ouch! The guest officer is really eye-catching! You can see it at a glance! The shopkeeper immediately laughed, "This batch of paper was newly made yesterday, and the naughty boy in the villain's house didn't get some paint to dye the red paper into it when the paper was made, but ordinary people don't have the eyesight of the guest officer!" ”

"I see......"

"This ...... Does it affect the use of guest officers? ”

"Not much."

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and boasted: "Guest officer, you came to the small shop to be right, but it is not self-boasting, the hemp paper made by the villain thinks that he has made is rarely matched in the whole Yidu, even those big stores, it is easy to compare with the paper of the villain's family, that is, the reputation of the small shop is not obvious, but anyone who has bought paper in the small shop, the custody will come back!" ”

"Cheaper."

"Cheapest ......"

Song You bargained, bought a pile of jute paper, a pen, an inkstone and a strip of ink, and actually spent more than 300 yuan.

Among them, pen and ink inkstones are the most common colors, if you want to buy a good one, then there is no cap.

In this era, reading and writing is really expensive.

Cinnabar was bought in a different store.

On the way back, I saw the butcher shop, thinking that it had cost a lot of money anyway, so I cut more than a pound of pork and bought some garlic seedlings, so I returned satisfied.

"Squeak~"

As soon as he pushed open the courtyard door, he saw a variegated shadow running out of the back room, and when he saw him, he said:

"Taoist, someone just knocked on the door to look for you."

"Who? Did Sanhua Niangniang open the door for them? ”

"It seems to be the people I met at the gate that day, and the people who live on the other side." Sanhua Cat looked up at him, "Sanhua Niangniang didn't open the door, you said not to let Sanhua Niangniang talk in front of ordinary people." ”

"Just remember, don't be afraid of it."

"What?"

"Are there two groups of people knocking on the door?"

"Yes, they met at the door, and they talked for a while." "They said they would come back tomorrow." ”

"Got it, thank you Sanhua Niangniang."

"No need to be polite."

"I bought pork, do you want to eat raw or cooked?"

"Just like you."

"That's good."

Song You didn't care about the people who came to knock on the door today, and went to the stove house with meat and vegetables, and began to clean up.

After the rice is cooked, drain and put on the steamer.

The best two-knife meat is boiled with pepper and ginger until eight mature, cut into thin slices, the garlic seedlings are washed and cut into sections, and the oil is re-boiled under the gaze of Sanhua Niangniang, and the meat slices are stirred out of the lamp nest over low heat, and another fire is added to the stove, and the garlic seedlings are snorted.

The whole process can be done by Song You alone.

And he is not in a hurry at all, but busy and orderly, looking for his own inner peace in this world.

No need for more ingredients, just season with tempeh soy sauce, and a delicious back-to-the-pot meat is baked.

In this era, the rise of stir-fry has only been a few decades, and there may not be this dish yet, but this small courtyard has risen the fragrance of vegetables that should have belonged to a few years later.
