"When will you be able to catch mice?"

"Tonight."

"How many days can you catch it?"

"One night."

"How do you catch it in one night?"

"There's a magic way of your own."

"Don't dare to say big things!"

"After the catch, at least for a month, I don't dare to have new rats coming."

"I still have some things to buy at this time, I'll come back to you later, take you and your cat over, if you don't catch one, I can't spare you!" The man first let out a cruel word, but after a pause, his tone softened, "But if your cat works, our whole street is full of rats, all of them are the mansions of dignitaries and nobles, and those rats eat too much fish and meat, just like becoming a fine, the nobles have a headache, I can introduce it to you." ”

"Thank you."

"And gone."

The man bowed his hand to him, and departed.

Song You retracted his gaze, continued to smile, and said to the cat beside him as he walked into the house, "It seems that I will rely on Sanhua Niangniang to eat in the future." ”

"Okay!"

Sanhua Cat's tone is crisp and energetic, as if she has suddenly found the value of cats.

Song You couldn't help but suddenly.

yes -

Sanhua Niangniang was originally a cat god, but not an ordinary cat, catching mice for people is not only a means of survival for her, but also her duty, and a method she relies on to become a god.

This makes her feel happy and satisfied.

"By the way, the guy over there didn't know that Sanhua Niangniang was a cat god, he only regarded Sanhua Niangniang as a little wild cat, and asked Sanhua Niangniang not to be strange to him, and not to go to his heart."

"Sanhua Niangniang is used to it."

“……”

In the middle of the afternoon.

The housekeeper returned, and this time he reported his name, saying that his surname was Yang, and that the owner of the house was a Langzhong from the Ministry of Works.

I am busy with official duties during the day, and the rodent infestation at home is always inexhaustible, so I can't sleep well at night, which is very abrasive. Especially if there are children studying at home, it is also a big deal to not sleep well at night.

"Let's go faster, you have to come back later, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the curfew, and when you meet the guards, the staff blame is small, and when you meet a monster, you lose your life is big."

"Thank you."

Steward Yang quickened his pace.

Song You also attached great importance to it and followed him closely.

The cat trotted nearby.

Two people and a cat passed through the city.

until they stopped in front of a house.

"That's it!"

Steward Yang pushed open the door of the house, turned his head and asked him, "How do you arrange it?" ”

"No need to arrange." Song You said, "Just let my cat know that it's this family, she will be here to catch mice at night, and I'll pick her up tomorrow morning." ”

"Then how do you get the rats hiding in the hole out?"

"There's a magic way of your own."

"Please explain it to your cat."

"Okay."

Song You then turned his head and said to Sanhua Cat: "Sanhua Niangniang, I will send you here, I will rely on you tonight, tomorrow morning, I will pick you up." ”

"Meow~"

Steward Yang looked at this man and his cat, but he also felt novel.

Thinking of the previous person with the cat, he didn't hold it, but let the cat run on the ground, and the cat followed closely, and now he talked to the cat so solemnly, and called what Sanhua Niangniang, this cat really seemed to understand human words. Thinking of the store sign posted at the door of this person's store to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons, he may indeed be a strange person with some skills.

However, there are many strange people in Changjing, and he is not surprised.

"That's it?"

"Alright."

Song You smiled and said to Steward Yang: "Please also ask the housekeeper to treat my cat well, don't make her feel wronged." ”

"Don't worry, my master is gentle and kind, and the little master is also at the age of taking the test, he is knowledgeable and reasonable, and he will not bully your cat." Steward Yang paused, "It's better to go back faster, otherwise it's almost time for curfew, it's still the same sentence, the cane is small, and the demon is big." ”

"Thank you."

Song You arched his hand and turned to leave.

Steward Yang was still standing at the door, seeing that he was walking slowly, not slowly, he just wanted to make a reminder, thought about it, and then took back his words.

He withdrew his gaze and closed the door, only to see the cat sitting on the ground, looking up and staring at him.

Steward Yang thought about it again before he arched his hand to her:

"Just ask Sanhua Niangniang."

"Meow~"

The cat turned its head to look at the sunset.

"Hey ......"

Steward Yang seemed to understand what she said.

……

Although it is the east city, it is not far from the west city, but Song You bought two steamed buns on the road to eat, and when he just walked through the street between the east city and the west city, the sound of the curfew gong was heard everywhere.

When the gong sounded, night had fallen, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and there were even fewer shops and houses with their doors open.

There were 300 rings.

The sound of gongs and doors shutting coexists.

Probably halfway through the knock, there were no pedestrians in the streets, and the city quickly became deserted in the moonlight, and the streets became empty, leaving only the passers-by still walking on the road.

It's like a walk, and the moonlight is full.

Some of the houses on the street were lit with lights, the windows showed a dim glow of fire, and there was the sound of talking and children's cries, and some gambling houses and liquor shops were closed, but the lights were bright inside, and there were lively human voices, and some of the exquisitely repaired pavilions were blowing, playing, singing, and laughing.

There are only lonely moonlight and lonely Taoists on the streets, but inside the doors of the rooms, there are the people's livelihood and singing and dancing in Changjing City.

Occasionally, the forbidden army patrolled the streets.

The Taoist just stood in the dark on the side of the street, and they walked past him as if they couldn't see him.

Occasionally, the golden armor priest floated from the sky, looking like one of the several military attaches of the City God Temple, his eyes scanned the street below, they could see the Taoist below, but the most he did was to fly down and carefully observe the Taoist a few times, and found that it was a human or a demon and left, or found that the Taoist was also looking at them, came down to ask a few words, and then left.

Walk smoothly to Willow Street and return home.

The Taoist did not feel sorry, although he did not encounter monsters, but he also gained a different feeling and more freedom from walking in the city during the day.

Fetch water and wash upstairs to rest.

I don't know when I entered the dreamland, but when I was sleeping in a daze, my expression suddenly became clear again, I looked left and right, I was neatly dressed, sitting on the edge of the bed, and there were three figures standing beside me, one in an official robe, two of them were literate and one martial, and their bodies were surrounded by clouds and mist.

It was Changcheng Jinghuang and the two auxiliary officers.

Song You was not surprised, and only bowed:

"Lord Chenghuang, be polite."

"I've seen the Immortal Master."

"Lord Chenghuang came to look for him today, why did he come to find him?"

"After the immortal master mentioned it a few days ago, the little god and his subordinate priests checked for a few nights and found one of the monsters. However, the monster was profound, and several military attachés and forbidden troops fought with the monster for half the night, but they still let him run out of the city. Chenghuang bowed down and said, "But the little god expected that he would definitely come back, but he was afraid that he would escape next time, so he dared to ask the immortal master to borrow one or two magic weapons to catch demons." ”

"I don't have a magic weapon, but I can give you two talismans, and I can pick them up tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Immortal Master."

"I only want to help the public and eliminate harm for the people."

"The little god retreats."

"Please walk slowly."

The dream came to an abrupt end.

When Song You opened his eyes, he was still lying on the bed.

It's going to be dawn outside.

Squint again, and the sky is already bright.

Take out the rune paper from the quilt bag, take the pen and cinnabar for drawing the rune, and seduce the spiritual power, which is easy to use, and it is two runes.

A thunder talisman, a fire talisman.

After thinking about it, he took out the paper again and wrote a line of words, reminding Chenghuang that it can only be used for this demon eradication.

Packed up the pen and paper, and then went out satisfied.

Go pick up the three flower girls on night duty.

……

In the mansion of Liu Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry.

There were four rows of rats neatly lined up in the yard, each of them fat and strong, and the kittens were afraid that they were not as big as them, and all of them lay here at this time. What is even more surprising is that the rats all face in the same direction with their heads and tails, and their faces are also facing the same direction, and each one is about the same distance apart.

Look next to these rats—

A three-flowered cat is sitting upright, licking its paws intently.

"It's a god!"

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

If it weren't for the fact that some servant was curious last night, and quietly watched the window for half the night, and saw this cat from different rooms in the mansion and put all the mice here, I am afraid they would have suspected that someone had come over the wall last night, placed these mice, and then climbed over the wall.

Suddenly, the cat moved.

But I found that one of the rats was slightly crooked, stretched out its paws and flicked it slightly, and straightened it.

"It's a god!"

Everyone couldn't help but marvel again.

Some people are counting the number of these mice, some people are looking at the cat, and some people are talking about the movement of the house last night.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

There was a knock on the door.

Someone hurriedly went to open the door.

But I saw a young Taoist standing outside the door, looked at them with a smile, and saluted: "Below is the person who brought the cat to catch mice last night, I don't know how many my Sanhua Niangniang caught last night?" ”

"Invite him in!"

"My master is invited!"

"Thank you ......"

Song You followed him into the door.

A group of people gathered in the courtyard.

The servant who opened the door hurriedly introduced him, saying that the old man in the middle was the owner of the mansion, Liu Langzhong of the Ministry of Works.

Liu Langzhong looked at him, his eyes lit up: "Sir, you cat is really a god!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I don't know if Mr. loves cats for sale?"

"Not for sale."

"How about a tael of silver?"

"No matter how much you don't sell."

"Today's queen is a cat lover, if she knows that this cat is so strange, she will definitely like it! If Mr. dedicates it to the queen with my hand, it will definitely soar! ”

"Lang Zhong misunderstood, Sanhua Niangniang is just getting along with the next cat, not the cat below." Song paraded, "She is a companion with below, a friend under her, not a pet." ”

"I see......"

Liu Langzhong also showed regret and returned the salute: "If Mr. really regards cats as friends, it is also a mind that only elegant people have, and the old man is like this, but he is offended." ”

"Dare to ask how many mice my Sanhua Niangniang caught?"

"Is the count clear?"

The old man also turned to the butler and asked.

"Count it out!" The butler was shocked, "Forty-six, more than we thought!" ”

Immediately, there was another exclamation.

Everyone whispered again, discussing how loud the movement was last night, how they heard the screams of rats and the like, and the old man also praised Sanhua Niangniang again.

Song You didn't listen, only looked at his cat who was obviously full of pride but pretended to lick his paws at will.

Seeing that she was happy, he was also happy.
