In the money shop, the guy is cutting silver. The three-flowered cat is playing in circles all over the ground. This goes to Pingzhou for hundreds of miles are mountain roads, few people but not no people, but there are few people, there is no big city, it is not good to buy and stay, Song You feels that it is inconvenient to use silver money, it happens that there is not much copper left, today I specially asked a money shop, come to exchange.

Dayan's official silver is flattened, wide at both ends and thin in the middle, and it is easy to cut. The guy is also skilled in business, so he just cut out a small corner and took out the pole to weigh it, and immediately smiled and showed it to Song You.

"Guest officer, no more, no less, just one or two."

"Good craftsmanship!"

"It's also luck." The guy smiled and accepted the corner, returned the remaining piece to Song You, and then took out a large string of copper coins from it, and then took out a small bunch of extra, and then took out some more.

"Don't be dissatisfied, let's be full for convenience, just rest assured."

"I'll count."

"Count though!"

"That's good." Song You sat down with a smile and really began to count. Xiangle County's recent silver-to-money ratio is 1,201.

When Song You was eating, he asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper said this price. Of course, the money shop has to take a commission.

I also changed it once in Yidu before, and that time it was only 1,1900 yuan for one tael of silver, I don't know if it was a local factor or a time factor, but it was higher here.

Don't think that money shops should value faithfulness, just think that the world's money shops are fair people, in fact, in Dayan, copper money to do some hands and feet has been a common phenomenon in society, and even everyone has become accustomed to it to the extent that they don't think it's a bad thing, but take it for granted.

Anyway, everyone is like this, and it has become natural for the two sides to come and go. However, it is generally not used to do tricks and feet on the pole.

First, many people don't talk about exchanging money, even if they use silver to buy things, they will also bring their own money, and secondly, the court is strict with this, and the law is violated by cheating, but a string of money is less than no one to investigate, who is not allowed to count wrong.

In short, today is free, count the money. More than a thousand, not easy to count. Fortunately, Song You is patient enough.

I don't know when the three-flowered cat also sat down, sat upright next to him, raised his head and stretched his neck, and looked at him with blank eyes.

It didn't take long for Song You to put down the money: "This big string of nine hundred and eight is twenty wen." ”

"Ouch!" The guy shouted, and his tone was very surprised: "Even if the guy who counts the money is careless and pretends to be wrong, Mr. can't help it, I'll make it up for you." "I don't count, I turn around and go get the money.

It's already obvious - I've always been nine hundred and eight here, and the difference between the left and right is not much, if you don't care, then I'll earn an extra twenty wen, if you care, one thousand, you go and count, it's right to count, then I'll apologize to you without saying a word, and make it up to you.

It's actually hard to say. Of course, it is people's greed and people's careful thinking, but it is also the inertia of society, a common phenomenon.

There is also a lot of room for deep reflection and taste. However, Song You still asked: "Don't you count?" ”

"I can't count, I'm afraid I'm going to count wrong, not to mention that Mr. is a master of cultivation, how can he lie to me?" The guy said while counting the money, and his tone was very natural,

"Even if the gentleman counts wrong, at most it is only a few pennies apart, and the entrance is a distinguished customer, so it is a small shop and Mr. is good."

"Very good." It's also kind of interesting. After collecting all the money, Song You didn't say anything, and went out and put it on the horse's back.

But the three-flower cat was still sitting in the money shop and not moving, sometimes turning her head to look at Song You, sometimes at the guy at the counter, and when Song You was leaving, when the guy wanted to give a reminder, she suddenly jumped on the counter and snorted angrily at the guy, and immediately jumped down again to chase Song You.

Run fast. Only the guy was left stunned. …… The county seat is built by the water, out of the city gate of Xiangle County, it is a small river immediately, the stone arch bridge grows very charming, crosses from the small river, it is the lunch break at this time, no one is walking on the bridge, only the willow tree at the head of the bridge by the river hangs down the silk, it is slender and long, and it swings with the spring breeze.

Walking to the middle of the bridge, Song You refused to go, stopped and stood by the bridge, holding on to the railing to blow the spring breeze, looking at the small river in the distance, the old man beating his clothes, I don't know what he was thinking.

The sound of "bang......bang

"Yan An."

"Sir." A swallow landed on the railing of the stone bridge. didn't wait for Song You to speak, but he said first: "I just asked for the road for my husband, and it is the road in front of me, about thirty miles, which is the boundary of Pingzhou." Song You was a little surprised: "You went to ask?" ”

"Yes, I flew forward, turned into a human form, and asked the local farmer, and the old man said so." The swallow paused, and said ashamedly,

"During this period of time, I was supposed to send my husband, but every time I asked for directions, I asked my husband to ask in person, which is really ashamed."

"Those who are good at martial arts follow martial arts, and those who are good at writing follow literature, you have your temperament and ability, and you have been a great help along the way, so why bother?"

"Sir doesn't need to be comforted, I also asked and found out that it is simpler than I thought."

"It's fine." Song You didn't say much more, but continued to say what he originally wanted to say: "Since the front is the boundary of Pingzhou, send it here, you should go back." ”

"......" Yanzi didn't speak for a while, looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, and then said: "I have been walking with Mr. during this time, I have been taught by Mr. in words and deeds, and nourished by Mr.'s aura, I want to thank Mr. ”

"I should thank you for your kindness."

"The ancestor wants to send the swallows of the clan to search for crops in other worlds, I have been thinking about it for a long time, as a member of the clan, I should also go." The swallow seems to be still in the period of voice change, and the voice is very juvenile.

"If it weren't for that, I really wanted to follow my husband, always serve my husband's side, find a way for my husband, and see all over this vast world."

"Have you decided to go overseas?"

"Yes." The swallow's answer to this word was like Song You's habit, and then he thought for a while before he continued to say: "I was afraid that the south was too far, and I was afraid of walking with other swallows, and I was afraid that I couldn't find it after trying to find it for a long time, but I went all the way with Mr., and I felt that the distance was not far away, although the mountains outside the mountains were different from the mountains in front of me, but the essence was not much different, and if I thought about it carefully, going south is the natural habit of my clan, and that vast world, I should also go to see it......"

"Actually, it's okay to be lonely." Song You said with a smile,

"But it's better that way. Maybe if you go out, you will feel that it is good to go out, maybe if you go out, you will feel lonely. ”

"If I come back and still feel lonely, I will follow what my heart is doing, just like my husband. If I come back and feel that the world is vast and the fun is infinite, I will follow what my heart is doing just like my husband. ”

"You're smarter than I am." Song You smiled,

"As I came down the mountain, my master said to me, 'May I find the pleasures of this world and find peace of mind on this trip.' Now I give you the same words. May you also find your own freedom and peace of mind as soon as possible. ”

"It's just a farewell at this time, I don't know ......"

"I only wish you and I would see each other again."

"Take care, sir."

"Take care, too." The swallow didn't say much more, and as soon as it flapped its wings, it flew into the green clouds, becoming a small black dot that was getting smaller and smaller.

The three-flowered cat stared up, waiting until it was out of sight before withdrawing its gaze.

"He's gone!"

"Yes."

"It's just us again."

"Reluctant? You even helped him catch butterflies. ”

"I don't know ......"

"Then you're not smart."

“？” Sanhua Cat was stunned for a moment. As soon as he wanted to refute, he saw that this person had turned around and left, leaving only his back and a sentence: "Let's go, there will be only us in the long road ahead." The three-flowered cat had to follow with small steps.

As soon as they got off the bridge, there were pedestrians walking in their direction, as if they were about to enter the city. It was the old woman who had just beaten her clothes.

The two old men look very old, with gray hair and short stature, and they look even shorter when they are rickety, and they are also very simple in their clothes, barely keeping warm, and the spring water is still a little cold, and they still come out to wash clothes when they are old, although it is a common thing in these years, Song You still inevitably has a little pity.

The two old women were carrying large buckets of clothes, because they were too heavy, their bodies involuntarily leaned to the other side, and they also fell backwards when they walked, which made people feel even more sad.

But at this moment, Song You saw the old woman walking behind raise the hand holding the mallet and poke the back of the old woman in front.

A handful of age, like two children. So bitter and smiling, the few remaining teeth can be counted at a glance.

After a few commotions and a moment of stalemate, the two gray-haired old women gasped for breath and walked back with their clothes again, but they walked side by side, and neither dared to go forward.

Song You hurriedly retreated respectfully to the side of the road. Two old men rubbed shoulders with him.

"Meow?"

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?"

"I'm afraid of getting in the way of the old man."

"Oh, I can't stop ......"

"Yes." Song You took a step forward and went to chase the three-flowered cat. The bells jingle to the horses. The Taoist with the bamboo cane and the old man with the clothes completed an ordinary encounter.

When he turned back again, he saw that the two old women also looked back at him, and their voices blew in the wind, muffled, discussing where this young and strange little Taoist priest came from.

The pace doesn't stop. It's not far out of the city, and there are few pedestrians on the road. Yesterday to Xiangle County, deliberately spent money to stay in a hotel, but also opened a good room, he asked the owner, said that this road was originally an ancient road, but it is really difficult to walk, when the world is in chaos, this road is one of the reasons why Xuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the previous dynasty spent a lot of effort, opened another road, this road is less people.

When there are fewer people, there are more monsters. When there are more monsters, there are fewer people. If the court doesn't care, it's a vicious circle.

Until now, I don't know if the imperial court is in charge or not, in short, there are few villages on the road, there are a few cities, there are few people, and there are a few military towns at the pass, so this is still the land of the king of Dayan.

The cane is light, thirty miles away, and it will be there soon.

"Pingzhou Boundary." Song You walked to the boundary monument again and stopped to look at it. Yesterday the equinox, today is also the equinox.

One step further, and it is out of Xuzhou. It's a new state again. I saw that the sky in front of me was heavy and rainy, and it was like an ink-like scenery in my eyes, the mountain shadow was heavy and foggy, a mountain was higher than a mountain, and I couldn't tell the end of the mountain, a good picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

As the innkeeper said, it's hard to get through. Pingzhou is also mountainous, but unlike the mountains of Anqing in Xuzhou, Anqing is a small mountain, at a glance Wanfeng becomes a forest, Pingzhou is a big mountain, not to mention Wanfeng at a glance, even a mountain, it is also a section full of cover in front of the eyes, a section in the clouds, and a section in the clouds, not complete.

Not only mountainous, but also canyons and cliffs. This road passes through the mountains, from the mountainside, from the canyon, from the edge of the cliff, and if you can't get around, you have to go all the way up, through the sea of clouds, and over the pass.

It's fine during the day, with occasional footsteps. At night, the mountain demons cry at night, and the wild ghosts blow fire. Song You couldn't see this.

I only saw the clear spring in the mountains, the wild fruits in the forest, the free little monkeys, the wild trees and flowers scattered all over the ground during a spring rain, the sea of clouds covering the sky and the earth, and the fungi that emerged after the rain.

Even the abandoned thatched huts on the side of the road, with their leisure mood and countless reds, seem to him to be a scene of their own.

Recommend the novice fishing girl's "Into the Unscientific", the old author, the story is wonderful, the amount is full, and the book shortage can be solved!
