In front of the window on the second floor.

The little girl had already put the mirror down, but she picked up her new bowl and looked out the window at the skylight.

There was half a bowl of water in the bowl.

Under the light of the sky, the bowl seemed to have a circle of hollows like broken flowers, which were transparent but not leaking, which made her feel surprised, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

Just look at that action, and beneath the appearance of this humanoid figure is the soul of a cat.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

"It's beautiful!"

"This bowl is precious, you can buy countless bowls, and it can be easily broken. However, Sanhua Niangniang has always been careful and agile, and she will not easily let it break. Song You said, "Maybe this bowl of Sanhua Niangniang can be used for many years, if it arrives later, in the future, it is not broken, we will find a place to bury it." Maybe thousands of years from now, someone will dig it up and store it as a treasure, or show it to everyone in the world, and they can't help but wonder who this bowl belonged to and what it was used for. ”

"It's Sanhua Niang's!"

"Yes......"

"Knock ......"

The little girl picked up the bowl and drank the water.

didn't bow his head and lick, Song You was very pleased.

"Boom!"

The little girl put down the bowl, turned around and came to the Taoist, staring at the Taoist:

"Yin and Yang Method."

"Okay, that's what I'll teach you." Song You said helplessly, "However, in the method of cultivation, diligence is naturally important, but it must also be natural, not too demanding, too hasty." ”

"I don't understand."

"It's okay, I'll tell you about it slowly in the future."

"How?"

"Speak slowly."

"Then you speak."

"The method of yin and yang, focusing on absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, goblins often focus on one side first, and the other side is used for blending, and after cultivating to a high level, they will make up for the other side and find a balance again in order to improve. However, Sanhua Niangniang is not only a god, but also has been with me for a long time, yin and yang are balanced, but you can seek a balance of yin and yang from the beginning, this is the avenue. ”

"I don't understand."

"That is......"

The voice of the Taoist sounded slowly.

This time it's very simple.

Fortunately, this is Changjing, ordinary animals can't understand human speech, and ordinary people don't know how to practice, if it is on the Yunding Mountain back then, or other deep mountains with rich spiritual charm and sufficient spiritual energy, I don't know how many mountain spirits and wild monsters will be enlightened.

……

In the evening.

On the second floor, the Taoist still sat opposite the girl, the girl closed her eyes and practiced, and the Taoist looked at the mercy from the side, but there was a knock on the door downstairs.

The girl opened her eyes and said in a soft voice:

"It's that person!"

"I hear you."

"......," the little girl tilted her head in thought, and then stared at the Taoist, "she also brought cooked mutton." ”

"It's not as good as Sanhua Niangniang."

"Shall we continue?"

"Everybody else is knocking on the door."

"I'm going to open the door!"

"yes."

The Taoist had already stood up.

"What about me?"

"Naturally, too."

"Oh!"

The girl then stood up.

One big and one small two figures walked downstairs, the wooden ladder was old, and there were really footsteps every step of the way.

The knock on the door was still ringing, and it was getting more and more urgent.

"Anyone? At home? ”

"In ......"

The Taoist opened the door without hurrying.

Standing outside was the woman next door, carrying a lotus leaf package with three layers inside and three layers outside in her hand, as if she was a little anxious.

"Hurry up, hurry up! I bought mutton, the best Northwest mutton, no smell at all, fat but not greasy, good ribs and lamb neck! Hurry up, it's still hot, it can't be cold! ”

"Don't rush ......"

Song You let her into the house.

The woman walked in two or three steps, opened the lotus leaf bag on the table, the outside was fresh lotus leaves, and the inside was cooked lotus leaves, and opened layer after layer, revealing the mutton inside.

The fragrance spreads with the heat.

Looks like a lot of weight.

This woman is not a pick-and-chooser, but she is not usually a big spender, she should make a lot of money, but she also has her own place to spend money, and she usually lives a frugal life. Although she is greedy by nature, she usually eats very simply when she is alone, and she often deals with it casually, and she doesn't care, only when she invites Song You to dinner, she will eat better with friends as a reason.

The most expensive meat in Changjing is mutton.

Good Northwest sheep are even harder to come by.

Today's mutton, most of the time she ate here with Song You a few days ago, thinking that Song You was tired of cooking, she felt embarrassed, and specially bought a good meal of meat as compensation.

Interestingly, she felt that she had only picked elm money from the tree, and she didn't spend any money, but Song You had made handicrafts, flour and other spices, so she felt that she had taken advantage. And Song You has been eating the elm money she picked from outside for several days, which is also a good feeling, sitting at home without moving or bothering, you can eat New Year specialties, and you also feel that you are stained with her light.

However, Song You was not polite to her.

Sit down and taste it, this mutton in the northwest is really unusual, it looks like it is just boiled in vain, at most green onion salt is added, but there is no smell at all, and it is full of meat aroma.

The ribs are fat and thin, and the roots are distinct, which is already the top grade.

The lamb neck is tender and juicy, and it is the best.

These catties of mutton are afraid of hundreds of dollars.

"Are you short of money lately?"

Wu Nuxia asked while grabbing the mutton to eat.

"No."

"How lacking?"

"It's lacking."

"You're running out of money?"

"yes." Song You replied while eating, "I went out to visit the West Market during the day today, and bought a mirror, a small bowl of exquisite blue and white flowers from the kiln, and I still used the money earned by the Sanhua Niangniang to catch mice." ”

Hearing this, Wu Nuxia glanced at the little girl next to her.

The girl clutched the meat in both hands and ignored the outside window.

"That's right, I unveiled another list!" Wu Nuxia grinned, "There was a water ghost by the Yudai River, I came back in the afternoon, and I just saw someone posting it, so I immediately revealed it!" ”

"I wonder what's so special about that water ghost?"

"There's nothing special about it, it's just that the head of the county government and the official mission went to catch it several times but didn't catch it, and the local officers and soldiers set traps and didn't shoot them with arrows. After all, the water is its world. I saw it on the way back, and I opened it with my hand, twenty taels of silver, and the masters who wanted to come to Tianhai Temple looked down on it, so you went with me for a trip. ”

"Since there's nothing special about it, why bother to come to me?"

"How's that going to work?"

Wu Nuxia's action of eating meat paused: "You and I have been hunting ghosts and demons together twice, which is considered a gang, this time I encounter easy work, how can I swallow this money alone?" ”

"I see."

Song You thought for a while, smiled, and then asked, "When will you leave?" ”

"That water ghost usually harms people at night, and it's not far from the city, if you have nothing to do tonight, let's finish this meal, and it's just right to go over."

"Listen to the woman."

Song You didn't say much and agreed to come down.

After eating the lamb, it felt good.

Obviously, I ate it with my hands, but there was no fishy smell on my hands, only a faint smell of meat and milk.

After washing my hands, we set off.

It was dusk when I got out of town.

The woman happened to lead the horse out for a run and a lap, while the Taoist was holding a bamboo cane and following the three-flowered cat, slowly walking out along the loess road.

There is a river in Changjing, the name of the Jade Belt River, which comes from the east, passes through the outside of Changjing City, and flows to the southwest. Because the river is green all the year round, winding like a jade belt, it is named the Jade Belt River. Speaking of which, there are probably many rivers called Yudai River and Yuqu River all over the country.

There are many villages along the Yudai River, and this time it is a river basin next to the villages that is haunted by water ghosts.

It is said that some people were confused by washing clothes in the evening and walked into the water, and some people were sailing at night and fell into the water. There are other unknown people, most of them Jianghu people, who go to the river to bathe or walk by the river at night, and they don't know how they fell into the water, and they are already dead bodies when they see them.

There are also people who are deceived by it, but they are not fooled, and some people are dragged into the water by its feet, but they break free, and those who survive report to the government, and the government knows that it is a water ghost who committed the crime.

"There is Wangjia Village in front, and it should be in the river below the village." It was getting late, and Wu Nuxia looked up, "The moon is quite big tonight, so we can see the road clearly." ”

"It's almost summer, and it's not cold at night."

"No wonder so many people drowned, I'm afraid they all went to bathe or swim in the river."

"Does the woman know that there was a tiger in the city?"

"Tiger?"

Wu Nuxia suddenly frowned and turned her head to look at him: "Why did you suddenly mention the tiger?" ”

"I asked when I thought of it."

"How did you come up with that?"

"This morning, Sanhua Niangniang told me that she was hunting rats for people in Dongcheng before, and she heard movement outside, and when she went out, she saw that it was two huge tigers." Song You looked at the heroine, and saw that something was wrong from her expression, so he asked, "Does the heroine know about this?" ”

"I haven't seen a tiger in town."

Wu Nuxia led the horse forward, her eyes flickered, and then said: "But my senior, who is my master's friend, was bitten to death by the one who lived in your house. I stripped him naked and looked at the wounds on his body, the holes in his thighs were so deep that I couldn't even stick a finger into them, and the scratches on his body were so large that few animals could inflict such wounds. ”

"That was a few months ago, right?"

"yes."

"I heard the woman say, that one seems to be involved in some affairs?"

"Pretty much." Wu Nuxia said, "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that there is a treasure, saying that it is worth more than thousands of gold, he has been mixed in Changjing for a long time, and the news is also well-informed, and when he gets the news, he wants to fight for it, so that he can enjoy his old age in exchange for a rich and prosperous life, but when I see him, he is already a corpse." ”

"There should be no tigers in the city."

"Who's to say it's not, it's mostly the means of some strange people." Wu Nuxia shook her head, "The affairs of the rivers and lakes, as long as they are not mixed with yellow and white things, everyone will pay attention to it, once it involves money...... Hmph, I also said that he was kind to me, and when I got out of the way, I would give him a pension in the future, hey, it seems that he doesn't trust me very much. ”

"Heroines are affectionate."

"It's not that I value affection, the rules on the rivers and lakes are like this, people take care of you, and the kindness will naturally be repaid, if you don't pay it back, you won't be able to mix in the rivers and lakes."

"Will the woman avenge him?"

"Hey!" Wu Nuxia chuckled, then shook her head and said, "If someone else comes to the door and kills him, then I have to think about it, but he himself wants to go out to grab treasures, fight and kill people, and his skills are not as good as people's death, where is the revenge?" ”

"I see."

Song You found it interesting.

This woman speaks very interestingly, she likes to use some tone words, which seems frivolous, but in fact, it is not, sometimes, it is the emotional leakage of her heart. Jianghu people are not good at expressing themselves, so they have to be like this.

Gradually, the sound of water was heard.
