After breakfast. Song You had already stood at the door, put the bag on the horse's back, and turned around to say goodbye to the person behind him: "Thank you for the host's hospitality, and thank you to the old gentleman for informing me of the road ahead, and I will leave in the next place." ”

"Thanks what! Thanks to Mr., I was able to keep my baby, and my family was also poor, and I didn't have much money, just some copper plates, a little heart, and bought some water for my husband to drink on the way. The host took out a small string of copper coins and handed it to Song You, and followed him, embarrassed and reluctant,

"Sir, don't be too little."

"The foot has invited the old gentleman, in the next is just a passing encounter, icing on the cake, do one thing, how can you let the foot pay twice?" Song You naturally saw the reluctance on the face of the master, and at this time, Song You was different from Song You who had eaten a lot yesterday, and refused simply and calmly, but he didn't say anything else.

"Please take it back."

"Sir, take it."

When the "......" shirked, the voice of the old gentleman happened to come from the side: "Little old man also wants to thank Mr. Xiao for his guidance." ”

"I can't call it, I don't dare to be it." The old gentleman's sentence came just right. Song You was spared trouble, and the host also withdrew his hand, his attention was diverted, and he was much less embarrassed.

The host was ashamed and happy for a while, very conflicted, but it was not easy to see on his face, he followed Song You out, and said with concern as he walked: "Sir, do you still go to Xiangle County?" ”

"It's all here, I'm too lazy to go around."

"There are hundreds of miles of uninhabited roads over there!"

"Don't be afraid." Song You leaned on the bamboo cane, turned around and said with a smile: "The two of you will stay here, don't send it far away." The two of them stopped.

The two sides solemnly saluted, which was regarded as a formal farewell, and Song You turned around and left, walking along this path through the village.

Unhurried, just watch as you go. The quaint village is actually very charming. The style of the houses here is mainly earthen walls, some houses are thatched roofs, some houses are tiled roofs, although the days are not good, the traffic is blocked, and the purchase is inconvenient, but every family has planted many fruit trees in front of the house and behind the house, and strive to make life better.

At this time, the spring is just halfway through, the peach and plum pear blossoms are blooming one after another, as if they are better than anyone else, and the red, pink and white flowers between the quaint villages are blooming one tree after another, but in the gray tones, they are so bright and conspicuous, whether it is in the eyes of the literati or the poor people in the mountains, they are all beautiful, right?

It's just that the literati can compose a poem, and the mountain people have to laugh and laugh. There are high and low literary styles, but the emotions are no different.

It happened to be raining lightly last night, and many petals fell. Some fell on the stone pavement, some on the bluestone steps, and some on the tiled roof of a certain house, paved all over the place, and I couldn't bear to step on it when I walked by.

Pure beauty will shatter all contempt, and no matter where you come from, there will only be admiration and wonder left in your heart at this point.

Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses. Why go the extra mile? Leaving the village, Song You strode forward. There are many pear blossoms on the side of the road, like snow, passing through it, and this kind of image seems to only appear in dreams.

"The day after tomorrow seems to be the spring equinox." A head immediately poked out of the cloth pocket on the horse's back, and opened puzzled eyes: "What is the vernal equinox?" ”

"It's a solar term."

"Sting!"

"Yes."

"Will there be thunder the day after tomorrow?"

"Don't fight."

"Is it going to rain?" Song You couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Yizhou people like to use it

The word "falling rain" instead of

"It's raining", coupled with the gentle and thin milk clip sound of the three-flowered cat, as well as her tone, it seems that the rain has also become a gift from the sky.

Then he shook his head and replied, "Probably not." ”

"Do you know how to tell fortunes?"

"No, it won't."

"Aren't you a Taoist priest?"

"False Taoist."

"Wouldn't a fake Taoist priest know fortune telling?"

"At least I won't."

"Why?"

"Because fortune telling is hard to learn."

"Why?" The crisp sound of questions kept coming from behind him, making Song You very curious, he had met ordinary cats before, and there were also people who liked to talk to people, when people said a word, it meowed, is it also asking questions?

Walking left and right is boring, but he is also patient: "Because fortune telling is not only complicated and difficult to learn, but also requires extremely high talent." It takes two contradictory thinking skills. One requires you to fully trust the mysterious feeling regardless of reason, and the other is just the opposite, which requires you to deduce with rigorous and rigorous thinking, and you must not make any mistakes or negligence. ”

"I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, forget it."

"Can't you?"

"I can't do it."

"You're not smart enough."

"......" Song You was silent, glanced back at her, and just met the little head that poked out: "Sanhua Niangniang, come down and go." ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm walking too."

"Why?"

"Come with me."

"Oh......" The three-flowered cat suddenly chrysalis in the cloth pocket, found a suitable position, and jumped out.

I don't know if the horse was too tall, or if the horse kept walking, she didn't stand firm when she landed, and her feet slipped a little.

Even if he stabilized his body, he was a little embarrassed. Song You glanced at her lightly and smiled lightly: "I knew you could wrestle." ”

"I didn't wrestle, I just slid on it."

"I knew you were going to slip."

"How do you know?"

"Guess." The three-flowered cat trotted with small steps, caught up with him, tilted his head and stared at him, pondered for a while, and then said firmly: "You still say that you don't know how to tell fortunes!" ”

"I won't."

"Then how do you know that it won't rain the day after tomorrow?"

"It's been a good couple of days."

"Then how do you know that the day after tomorrow is the vernal equinox?"

"I remember."

"How do you remember?"

"Because of the spiritual practice." Song You said helplessly,

"And the equinox is my birthday."

"I don't know what a birthday is."

"It's the day of birth."

"Were you born on the equinox?"

"No, I was picked up by Master at the time of the spring equinox." Song You was afraid that she would ask again, so he continued,

"Because I don't know when I was born."

"......" Sanhua Cat stared at him stunned, the question he was about to ask was said by him in advance, and he couldn't react for a while.

After a while, she chased after her and asked, "Is birthday fun?" ”

"Depends on what you think."

"And what do I think?"

"How do I know what you think?"

"How come you don't know what I'm thinking?"

"Because only the Sanhua Niang Niang herself knows what she thinks, and I only know what I think." Answering such a question, Song You was really helpless, but he couldn't do it without answering her.

"And what do you think?"

"I want to ......" Song You paused, and said as he walked among the pear blossoms: "If it is a festival, there is a sense of ritual, it is not fun, I don't like it, and I don't want to do that." Or think of it as a point in telling yourself that another year has passed, and I don't like it either. But if it's just a reason to do what you love, then I like it. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Like, a good meal."

"Have a good meal!"

"Yes." The three-flowered cat blinked a few times, just excited for a moment, and suddenly became discouraged again: "I don't know when my birthday ......"

"I don't know." Song You lowered his head and looked at the three-flowered cat, I am really the best way to comfort people, and then he said,

"It's not necessarily a bad thing, because then we can pick one we like."

"How to choose?"

"For example, what is Sanhua Niangniang's favorite day? The day of the Enlightenment? The day someone else erected an idol for you? Don't think of that day as your birthday. Anyway, no one else knows. ”

"Cats don't remember that."

"What then?"

"You help me think."

"All I can think of is ......" Song You squinted his eyes and thought seriously: "The day I bought fish for Sanhua Niangniang, it was the beginning of autumn." It also helped the day when the three flower girls took shape, which was the autumn equinox. ”

"What are you?"

"Equinox."

"Equinox!"

"Does Sanhua Niangniang want to be the same as me?"

"Hmm......" Sanhua Cat tilted her head and fell into deep thought.

"That's good, I'm in the spring equinox, and the three flower girls are on the autumn equinox. At the time of the spring equinox, day and night are equinoxed, and when it comes to the autumn equinox, day and night are equally divided again, yin and yang are balanced, and the spiritual rhyme is coordinated, which is the most mysterious. ”

"Hmm......" Sanhua Cat didn't listen and continued to ponder. This question seemed to be extremely difficult, but it stumped her, and she walked forward for a long time before she asked, "Can people only have one birthday?" ”

"No one has had two birthdays."

"What about the cat?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Hmm......" Sanhua Cat thought again. Finally made a decision: "Liqiu!" Song You was a little surprised.

This cat is a scholar, she loves to learn many things, and always wants to be the same as him, but she didn't expect that she didn't choose the autumn equinox, but chose the beginning of autumn.

But he didn't think much about it, just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Liqiu!"

"Congratulations to Sanhua Niangniang."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." It is difficult for people to see any expression on the cat's face, only that her small steps are more cheerful, and after a while, she ran in front of Song You, and stopped to ask him why he walked so slowly, but Song You has walked as fast most of the time since he came down from Yin Yang Mountain.

…… Two days later, Xiangle County. This is the last county of Xuzhou, and further on, you will reach the boundary of Pingzhou.

Pingzhou is mountainous and foggy, there are many fairy legends, demon rumors, people also believe in these, fear these, but especially like to talk about these, so it has created a strong fairy atmosphere, so that outsiders sound as if there are fairy gods everywhere, the ground is full of demons, so that it has affected Xiangle County, and there are many ghost legends of fairy gods and ghosts here.

At the same time, today is also the spring equinox. The spring equinox is like the autumn equinox, the day and night are of equal length, for the same area, it is the intersection of two different reincarnations of the alternation of day and night, the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth are strong and weak, and the spiritual rhyme of the world is coordinated, reaching a very mysterious balance point.

This touch of mystery was given to the swallow. As for birthdays...... Song You actually didn't care about whether he had a birthday or not, not to mention that this day was not, but he was bored when he was in the Taoist temple, inconvenient to purchase, and troublesome to go down the mountain, so this day every year gave him a reason to persuade himself to take some money and go down the mountain for a trip, or to visit the county seat or market town, or to buy some good meat, a little more presumptuous than usual, or a little more diligent, so as to do something he liked.

Today happens to be the last journey of Xuzhou. A little more monumental. The swallow only sent him to the border of Pingzhou.

There is a little more parting meaning. So Song You spent a lot of money, bought a roast chicken, bought a pound of mutton, and found a restaurant, ordered two side dishes and a pot of good tea, so as to treat the five internal organs temple and say goodbye to the swallows.

…… Ask for a commuter pass! Please! thank

The leader of the alliance of the "try not to touch the fish qaq" boss, bow and show your chest!
