Chapter 119: Becoming the Man in the Painting
"I'll go tomorrow to see what other list can be revealed, if it has been exposed by others, I will reveal another one if it is appropriate." Wu Nuxia said, "If we take off the next one before we have given the reward for the previous one, the county magistrate will definitely be startled by us, hahaha......"
"Do you need me to go with the Heroine?"
"Look at you......"
Wu Nuxia thought for a while before saying: "You earn brain money, I earn coolie money, you earn Taoist money, I earn intelligence money, I do yours, I do mine, I usually go out and often pass by the city gate, but if you go to see it yourself, you can rest assured, or if you don't go with me, you can come with me." ”
"Then it's hard work."
"No, I'm active by nature." Wu Nuxia said, "But it's okay for you to go with me, so that we can discuss it on the spot, and the spot that we like can be settled, so as not to be preempted by others." ”
"Anything can be revealed."
"You're ...... amazing"
"I heard that the apricot blossoms have bloomed outside the city these days?"
"Yes, it's just outside the East City Gate, you can go and see, there should be a lot of people, just follow the people." Wu Nuxia said, "I'm not free, I'm not very busy, and I don't have much to see." ”
"Then I'll go and see."
"Dangdangdang......"
The gong of the curfew sounded.
However, Xicheng is not more prosperous than Dongcheng, and Xicheng people are not more leisurely than Dongcheng people.
The Taoist and the woman, who were sitting at the door and chatting, also got up and lifted the bench.
"That's right!"
Wu Nuxia stopped suddenly:
"Didn't I see two or three lists that day, today this is just one of them, I remember that there is another one of the mountain demons on a mountain outside the city, attacking passers-by and business travelers, eating a lot of people, I will go tomorrow to see if it has been revealed."
"Hard."
"Then if it wasn't revealed, I'd do it?"
"Is it just a mountain demon?"
"Well, the mountain demon, it's not difficult to deal with, the difficult thing is that the mountain is too big, it's hiding, it's not easy to find, the officers and soldiers, the hunters and the people of the rivers and lakes have all gone to find it, and it's very clever." Wu Nuxia said and looked at him, "Do you have the ability to find a monster when you smell it?" ”
"Nope."
"That ......"
"You can try something else."
"Okay! That's it! ”
"If you don't have it, you will reveal something else, and you will be difficult."
"Go to bed early."
Wu Nuxia carried the bench and entered the house.
The gong went out, and the whole city was closed.
Song You was not in a hurry, found flour and kneaded a dough, and burned a pot of cakes to eat.
……
Dinner is this pot of bread, and so is breakfast.
Although I slept from morning to dusk during the day yesterday and fell asleep very late at night, the spirit of the Taoist was not bad, and he opened the door and ate cakes while watching the people coming and going on the street.
Sanhua Cat walked down from the upstairs again: "Daoist, are you going to see Xingfa outside the city today?" ”
"Apricot blossoms."
"Apricot Blossom~"
"Yes."
"Sanhua Niangniang is with you."
The three-flowered cat jumped onto the table and stared at him.
"Naturally, I want to be with Sanhua Niangniang." Song You ate pancakes and looked at her, "But since Sanhua Niangniang fought in Dongcheng to catch rats, she has been out day and night, and her work and rest have already ...... Well, I can't say if it's upside down or it's back to normal.,In short, Sanhua Niangniang shouldn't have slept all night last night, right? ”
"That's right!"
"Then you should have a good rest at home, and when I come back this afternoon, I will send Sanhua Niangniang to Zhou Shilang's house to catch mice."
"Are you going alone?"
"Yes, too."
"A person can be alone."
"It's good to be lonely."
"It's good not to be alone." Sanhua Cat stared at him and thought for a moment, "Sanhua Niangniang will come with you." ”
"Isn't Sanhua Niangniang sleepy?"
"Not sleepy!"
“……”
Song You had a smile on his face for a while.
Before going down the mountain, it must have been unimaginable that such a little kitten could give him so much warmth.
There really seems to be no other reason.
Even the family's money was hidden by her in a mouse hole, and she took him to see it last night, and it was hidden deeply.
"Then thank you Sanhua Niangniang."
"It's fine."
"Why is the corner of Sanhua Niangniang's mouth a little red? Where did it come from? ”
The Taoist smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe it off for her.
"Sanhua Niangniang just ate a mouse."
“……”
The Taoist silently took his hand back again.
There are three or four pieces of bread left.
Take it with you and eat it at noon.
The Taoist quickly put on his coat and closed the door to travel.
Passed through the city and went to the east gate.
Out of the east city gate, the terrain looks very different from the west city gate, there are many mountains in the distance, the beacon tower is faintly visible on the top of the mountain, although it is still far away, you can already see the apricot blossoms all over the mountain, and the continuous mountains are dyed into the white and pink of the apricot blossoms.
A loess road leads into the distance.
As Wu Nuxia said, sure enough, there are many people who go outside the city to enjoy the apricot blossoms, especially not long after the end of the spring, many students are still in Changjing, these students have both Yaxing, and have idle, three or five together, become the main crowd out of the city to enjoy the flowers, all the way is their chatting voice, there is no lack of sparse laughter.
You don't need to find the way, just follow the crowd.
The cat walked ahead with small steps, and only when it stopped to wait for him did it open its mouth and yawn, and shake its head again to stay awake.
"Is Sanhua Niangniang sleepy?"
"Not sleepy."
"It's going to take a while to get to Changshan, or Sanhua Niangniang will come to the blanket."
"Good~"
Song You took off the blanket and put it on the ground, and the cat obediently got in and let him lift it.
This blanket was also made in Changjing only a few days ago, and it was not the one sewn on the quilt bag. However, this blanket has two pockets, one is used to hold some copper coins and small items, and the other is used to hold the three-flowered cat, which can be said to be specially made to pick her up.
The Taoist slowly moved forward, enjoying the spring light.
The cat was very sleepy, but it also stuck its head out of its coat, squinted at the world, and sometimes looked up at the Taoist.
In addition to the students, there were also many scholars, and even women, both married and unmarried, some with entourage, and some just a few women traveling together.
You can also get a glimpse of the openness of Dayan.
I remember coming to Changjing at the beginning of the month, although it has been spring, but it has not been stung, the weeds on the roadside are still the withered yellow left by last winter, and now I go out of the city again, close to the spring equinox, it is already full of spring mountains.
When I stopped, I was at the foot of the long mountain.
The mountain with the best apricot blossoms is called Changsan, and it is also the highest mountain from the city gate.
There are more than 20 miles of road from Changjing to Changshan.
People who go out of the city to enjoy the spring flowers, set off early, take their bags and walk leisurely to Changshan, just find a piece of grass at noon to spread out the cloth towel, sit and eat something, drink some wine, enjoy the flowers and chant poetry, and return to Changjing City in the afternoon, and spend a beautiful day in this era.
It is also because the people of Changjing love to go to Changshan to enjoy the flowers, and the previous dynasty has been allocated by the imperial court to build stairs, corridors and pavilions on Changshan to facilitate everyone to climb the mountain and rest.
The Taoist people have walked all the way, there are countless flowers and plants, and there is no lack of peach blossoms and apricot blossoms on the surrounding hillsides, but when you walk to the foot of Changshan Mountain, look up, you feel that the apricot blossoms you have seen before are too sparse and too common, and you know why so many Changjing people have come here to see so far.
"Are we there?"
The cat's voice is very small, and it is afraid of being heard.
"Here we are."
"Put me down."
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"I also want to see flowers~"
"Okay."
The Taoist put the cat down.
I don't know if I was sleepy or curled up in the blanket for a long time, and when I landed, I took a few steps, but I still fell down.
The Taoist shook his head and smiled, and stepped forward.
I saw that Changshan was precipitous, it was a natural danger in Changjing, and after crossing this mountain, there was an army stationed on the mountain behind. The steep part of the long mountain is afraid that only apes can climb it, and the rocks are bare, but such a steep peak is full of apricot blossoms, so many, clumps after bushes, dyeing the continuous mountains white and pink.
It's hard for anyone who hasn't seen it to imagine.
In the wars of the past dynasties, I don't know how many soldiers have fought the enemy here and fallen off the cliff, but in this land infected with blood and buried countless bones, such a beautiful flower has bloomed.
A promenade runs from the bottom of the hill to the mountainside and down from another.
On the side of the road, there are people who enjoy flowers, some people chant poems, some people paint, some people drink, some people gossip, and some people carry baskets on their backs, carrying cooked food, and work tirelessly up and down the mountains to sell to idlers.
People also come here, and demons also come here.
There are cat lovers who tease the three-flowered cat.
There are those who ask the Tao to drink.
Someone else stopped him and wanted to tell his fortune.
The three-flowered cat is so sleepy, yawning and swaying as it walks, but it is very strong.
……
Somewhere on the mountainside, in a pavilion, someone was trying to paint.
The woman with the pen wears a veil, both covering the face and protecting from the sun, many noble daughters who travel do this, a maid and an entourage around her, the stone table in the pavilion spreads out the drawing paper, the ink inkstone and the paint are ready, I was going to paint the near and close up in front of me, the pavilion pillar tile eaves, and an apricot blossom poking out, which is also wonderful, but a casual glance, but I saw the other side.
A young Taoist, a three-flowered cat.
The three-flowered cat has a thin red rope around its neck and hangs a small wooden trinket that looks particularly well-behaved.
The Taoist walked slowly, afraid that in order to accommodate the cat next to him, the cat seemed to have not woken up, confused, but fell down, shook three times in one step, always yawned, but still followed the Taoist closely.
When the Taoist walked, she left, and the Taoist stopped to look at the flowers, and she also squatted down and looked up.
A man and a cat walked past the pavilion and went into the distance.
I don't know what the person stopped to say to her.
Maybe it was to persuade her to take a break.
So one person and one cat did not pay attention to it, so they sat down on the stone steps on the mountain, and happened to sit under an apricot branch sticking out, with their backs to this pavilion, which was not too close.
When the woman looked from here, she could only see her back.
The Taoist robes worn by Taoists are already very old, but the old clothes are a perfect match for Taoists, and they are the most natural to wear. The three-flowered cat next to him sat upright, with his tail around his feet, and he was separated from the Taoist by a little distance, but when he was sleepy, he couldn't help but fall to the Taoist's side, and his body was crooked.
The wind blew and the petals slipped off.
The cat was attracted by the bees, then looked up at the petals falling from the sky, and then leaned on the Taoist and rubbed its head.
When people look at it, they only feel natural and harmonious.
The woman who carried the pen was also silent.
I was amazed in my heart.
