The light of the oil lamps filled the upstairs room with difficulty.

The three-flowered cat was spinning around on the wooden floor, sniffing left and right, and the Taoist was also standing in the middle of the room, looking around.

The upstairs room is quite spacious.

The wooden plank floor rattled and squeaked in some places.

A wooden bed, a table, and a small stool, all of which are made of the same wood and similar in color, most of which are pre-existing and can be used for daily use.

There is also a wide bench, which was obviously bought later.

It should have been purchased by the later owner.

The previous owner also left the futon down, but Wu Nuxia did not take it away or throw it away, she should want to keep it for the next renter, and maybe increase the price with this. However, Song You sniffed it and felt that the taste left on it was not very good, so he didn't plan to use it. Tonight, I will temporarily use wool felt to make a bed, cover a blanket and a thin quilt, go out tomorrow to buy a new futon, wash and put away the wool felt and wool blanket, and use it when I leave Changjing and then go east and north, maybe I can accompany myself for many years.

At this time, I looked left and right, and felt that a long couch could be placed by the window, a low coffee table was placed in the middle, and then a cloth mat was bought to put it, and you could drink tea and write by the window on weekdays, and look at the street scene below.

You can also pull a curtain to separate this room, buy a small bed, and let Sanhua Niangniang sleep.

With a little planning, you have a picture in your head.

So this room is not bad.

Behind him, Sanhua Niangniang's soft voice came: "Is this our home for the next year?" ”

"Almost."

"Are you going to sleep?"

"What's wrong?"

"Sanhua Niangniang is going out to catch mice."

"But remember to come back and recognize which one it is."

"I'm smart."

"If you encounter other Taoist priests, monks, monsters, and wandering gods who embarrass you, you will say that you are from Fulongguan, and you just came out to catch mice."

"Yes!"

"Go for it......"

Song You took out the oiled paper bag from the quilt bag, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from it, and spread it on the table.

When I arrived in Changjing today, I had a lot to remember.

Just spread the paper on the table, the three-flowered cat who had just said that she was going to catch the mouse suddenly jumped up from under the table again, and asked her that she only said that she would catch it later, but when Song You polished the ink, picked up the pen and began to write, she stretched out her paws and played with the lanyard on the pen.

The whole cat lay on the table.

Even if he settled down temporarily in Changjing.

……

The room seemed to be a little leaky, blowing coolly, in the middle of the night there were forbidden soldiers patrolling by, the footsteps were heavy, there was the sound of armor rubbing, and the street was very noisy in the morning.

However, I slept well that night.

I don't remember when Sanhua Niangniang came back, and I don't know if she caught a mouse or not. In this regard, Song You communicated with her, generally speaking, Sanhua Niangniang caught the mouse and would come back after eating outside, and the parts that she didn't like to eat were also left outside, when she went to bed, she would clean her body, and she would put a wet handkerchief at the head of the bed as a foot cloth, since she heard Song You say that wool felt and wool blankets are very expensive, she seems to cherish a little more than Song You, and every time she will carefully wipe her feet clean before going to bed.

I didn't see her when I woke up.

Song You got dressed and went downstairs, but he didn't find her, until he opened the door, he found her lying on the street basking in the sun, her eyes squinting, and passers-by walked around her, which was comfortable.

Look next door again -

The door was closed and locked.

“……”

Song You went back to the room, let the horse come out, washed up a little, then locked the door and walked out of the city with the horse.

The three-flowered cat opened its eyes as soon as it opened, rolled over, and followed with small steps.

One person and one cat, remembering the road as you go.

lest you not come back when you get it.

Until out of the city, there are many families on both sides of the road, there is no lack of restaurants, hotels, all kinds of business, it is actually quite lively, but the more you go, the more sparse the houses, and then turn over the small slope yesterday, find a path out of a section to the barren mountains.

A mountain can be seen in the distance.

Song You touched the jujube red horse and said apologetically:

"It's really a cramped house in Changjing, and it's inconvenient to raise horses, if you are invited to live in a place that specializes in raising horses for people, I'm afraid you will also suffer, and it is better to run freely in the wild and eat grass at will. Then I ask you to go as far as you can into the inaccessible places deep in the mountains, and don't go too far, for in a year I will come looking for you. ”

"Poof......

The jujube red horse only snorted.

Song You took off the bell around his neck and tied a red rope instead, on the red rope was a small brand similar to Sanhua Niangniang, and it was also a corner broken from the brand of Fulongguan.

"You already have spirituality, I believe that ordinary people can't embarrass you, and now wearing this brand, I'm afraid that people with Taoism will not be able to embarrass you." Song You paused at this point, "If you feel more comfortable being free outside, then go find your own freedom, go further, and I won't come to you." ”

"Sigh the law ......"

The red horse craned its neck and screamed.

Song You just smiled, and didn't use words to restrain it.

A momentary thought does not mean forever, and horses should be free to run in the wild. Last time, he waited for himself for a year in Genting Mountain, and this time he agreed with him, in case he stayed in the wild for a long time and met other wild horses playing with them, he changed his mind.

The three-flowered cat behind him also raised his right front paw, touched the horse's hooves, and raised his head high, which was different from Song You's opinion: "Horse, horse, waiting for us to come to you." ”

"Go ahead."

Song You patted it.

The horses took a few paces, looked back at them, and ran away toward the mountain.

Sanhua Niangniang is especially reluctant.

Song You just smiled.

It's a good thing to be reunited with it, but if you don't reunite, it's not bad, and there is no bad result after a year, so there's really nothing to worry about.

"I'm back."

One man and one cat walked back.

Sanhua Cat turned around three times in one step, until she couldn't see the jujube red horse at all, she retracted her gaze, and looked up at Song You again:

"Will it grow up next year?"

"It's grown."

"Will it grow bigger?"

"No, it won't."

"This morning, the woman next door said that she went out to run errands and would come back in the afternoon, and told you to wait at home early in the evening so that you can go out to eat."

"Did she tell you?"

"That's right!"

"Sanhua Niangniang has already started to take care of things."

"I'm in charge."

"Yes."

"What do you mean?"

"It's the meaning of Sanhua Niangniang's smart and reliable."

"That's right!"

A man and a cat slowly walked back to the official road.

Yesterday was too late, and maybe there were other things in my heart, but I didn't take a closer look at the scenery outside the city.

Today, I only saw a flat land, a winding dirt road, and on both sides of this winding dirt road, some houses were sparsely or densely distributed. In early spring, most of the grass and trees are withered, and there are peach blossoms in full bloom, and the people who walk in them look only a little bit from a distance, and the people who ride horses and chariots are larger, and there are occasional cooking smoke rising, and the wine flag is beckoning, which looks like an ancient painting.

Song You stepped into this ancient painting.

There are children chasing small dogs, cats scurrying on the road, many literati and scholars come out hand in hand, the old people sit at the door waiting for the passage of life, and there are also low-level people who work hard to make their own living.

At noon, we will eat at this stall outside the city.

When I entered the city gate, it was not much different.

Look at the merchants on the street, pedestrians are weaving, there is no lack of people in luxurious clothes, and there is no lack of jade sons and delicate daughters. Turning around and walking into the alley, there are also craftsmen silently weaving bamboo baskets and brooms, dark hands with thick calluses and deep cracks, laborers walking silently with heavy goods on their backs, and women sitting at the door worrying about today.

Life is everywhere.

The Taoist people take the same steps, walking through ancient paintings, and as if walking through history.

Another day, take a closer look.

There is something else to do today.

Song You found his newly rented house, went to the nearby market to buy rice noodles, filled the rice bowl and noodle tank at home, went to the nearest well to fetch water, washed the water tank, and filled it again.

Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are also bought.

There are also new futons......

It took half a day to send the horse, and it took almost half a day to do this, but there was something to do at every moment, and I didn't waste it, and I felt fulfilled in my heart.

This is more or less the life of a mortal.

When I was done, it was almost time, and the sun was shining on the streets.

The rest of the time is your own.

Song You then took a bench and sat at the door of the room with the three-flowered cat, basking in the sun, watching hundreds of people coming and going on the road in front of him, watching the clouds in the sky changing shapes, and enjoying the comfort of this moment.

A neighbor looked at him.

……

The sun stained the tiles golden.

Wu Suowei staggered from the end of the street, and at a glance he saw two figures, one big and one small, sitting at the door.

Big hands clasped his chest, squinted his eyes, and the sun shone on his face, and he thought it was an old man without looking at his face. The little one sat upright on the ground next to him, squinting and raising his paws to lick it. It made her feel like she had just come to Changjing, and that one person and one cat had lived here for many years.

People are enjoying life, and they are running around for life, which makes her inevitably a little envious in her heart, and she can't help but smile at the beauty of this moment.

"Yo! What about basking in the sun? ”

The cat had already discovered her, and had already put down its paws and turned its head to stare at her, but the Taoist only turned his head at this time.

"Coming back?"

"You're at ease!"

"Nothing to do."

"The horses are gone?"

"Sent away."

"Cleaned up at home? Got what you want to buy too? ”

"I'm in a hurry to use it, and I'm almost ready to buy it."

"Not in a hurry?"

"Buy slowly."

"Tut-tut......"

Wu Suowei took out the key and opened the door of his house.

He didn't do anything when he went in, he just pulled out the dagger hidden in his clothes, threw it on the table, and turned around again.

But I saw that the cat had run to her door at some point, staring at her intently with its head up, and its eyes seemed to be thinking.

"Hey ......"

Wu Suowei grinned and stepped out the door again.

Close the door again.
