One day, the woman came back from the county office.

"It's all right this time! The magistrate said that we will be rewarded after January! Wu Nuxia said, "This kind of thing is really more effective than your method." ”

"What about that one?"

"The court lied and deceived the officials, even if they were not caught, they would have to be solid and dozens of boards. However, I think he is also quite evil, and I said a few good words to him, and I took a few dozen boards. ”

"A woman with a good heart."

Song You smiled, thinking it was funny.

A few days ago, she said that she was going to carry a knife out of the city to find trouble with others, and she was the one who said that she was going to slaughter people. However, she was also the one who said good things for him in court today, and there are many interesting things about it.

"There's nothing kind, it's just too lazy to take care of him anymore. I also thought that when I first came to Changjing, I also had crooked thoughts in my head, and I said a few words casually, and it didn't cost money. ”

"Can the heroine put it into practice back then?"

"Of course not, but I did think about it."

"It's human nature to think about it."

"Hehe, it means I'm smart."

"......" Song You shook his head, and then said, "This time the bounty is quite slow. ”

"No way, if we can catch the ghost in the court, we can cash it on the spot." Wu Nuxia sighed, and couldn't help complaining, "I said that it's actually not necessary, we are all old acquaintances, and the county officials knew me when I went today, and the old acquaintances didn't even have this trust." ”

"Trouble Woman toils every time."

"Don't talk about this, you still have enough money for this month, right?"

"It should be enough."

"Okay, let's go."

After Wu Nuxia finished speaking, she turned around and left.

It's incredibly crisp.

Song You got up to see off the guests, but she didn't move her steps, and after she left, she went up to the second floor and took out all the money that Sanhua Niangniang hid in the mouse hole to see how much there was.

Speaking of which, the neighbors in the neighborhood are also blessed by the Sanhua Niangniang - since the Sanhua Niangniang came here, especially after she began to hide money in the mouse hole, she was afraid that the mouse would steal her money, so half of the nearby street became a forbidden area for the mouse, so she caught the mouse every night, and she had to walk a short road, and she was not too hard.

"More than a thousand dollars ......"

This month's house money has been paid, but with his current friendship with the woman, it doesn't hurt to postpone it for a while.

The price of Changjing is very high, the cost of living is much higher than that of Yidu, Song You himself is not engaged in agricultural production, there is no grain in the warehouse, there is no vegetable in the field, everything has to be bought, this more than 1,000 yuan can be spent for a month, but the life may have to be a little tighter, eat less meat.

However, in the past month or so, there may occasionally be people who come to ask them to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons, and maybe people will come to Sanhua Niangniang to catch mice, which can be regarded as some income that can be used to improve life.

Thinking about it, the Taoist only felt relaxed, and there was no sorrow in his heart, so he let the money pile up on the table, went downstairs and closed the door, ready to come back for a nap.

When I came back, I saw that the money on the table was gone, but there was a little girl in a tricolor dress in the room.

"Sanhua Niangniang is back."

"It's back!"

"Where's the money on the table?"

"Sanhua Niangniang is hiding." The little girl stared at him with a serious face, as if she was a little serious, "How do you put it on the table?" It could be stolen. ”

"In broad daylight, it's so easy to be stolen."

"You have to spend less money, don't run out of money, if you don't eat rats, you will starve to death." The little girl expressed her concern to him.

"Got it."

Song You felt funny in his heart, but he still accepted the little girl's teaching, but he looked at her carefully, and suddenly said, "Sanhua Niangniang seems to have grown a little taller." ”

"I've grown a little taller!"

"I think."

"Really?"

The little girl was suddenly interested.

"Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"I haven't measured it before, but now I can measure it, and I'll know when Sanhua Niangniang grows taller in the future."

Song You pulled the little girl to the wall, and the little girl was very obedient, leaning against the wall, letting him gesture above his head, his eyes trying to turn up, trying to see the top of his head.

By the time she left the wall, there was an inscription on the wooden wall.

"What is this?"

"Sanhua Niangniang is so tall now."

"It's so high~"

The little girl stared at the mark.

"Let's test it again in a few months, and we will know if Sanhua Niangniang is growing taller."

"How can Sanhua Niangniang grow taller?"

"When you grow up, you grow taller."

"But Sanhua Niangniang is already a big cat." The little girl tilted her head and stared at him with a puzzled look.

"Everything in the world, as long as it becomes refined and attains the Tao, it will be different from the original." Song You thought for a moment and patiently explained to her, "I've heard that even if some monsters have grown up, they may still be villains after they become refined and transformed, and then they will slowly grow up. ”

"How do you grow up?"

"When the mind matures, it grows up."

"I don't understand."

"You have to learn." Song You thought about it for a while, and said to the little girl with a smile, "If you want to learn, you have to know how to read and write, how about I teach Sanhua Niangniang to read and write?" ”

"What's the use of literacy?"

"You can read."

"I think I've heard it somewhere."

"Sanhua Niangniang asked me before."

"Is reading a book fun?"

"It's not fun, but some people find it interesting."

"Someone!"

"Some people find it hard."

"Hard!"

"yes."

“……”

The little girl's eyes rolled a few times and changed the topic: "Will Sanhua Niangniang grow to be as big as a tiger in the future?" ”

"I think I've heard it somewhere."

"Sanhua Niangniang asked you before."

"Didn't the Sanhua Niangniang know the answer?"

"What if it changes!"

"No, it won't."

"Then what does the three-flower lady look like?"

"When you become a cat, it's probably the same as before, but when you become a human, you will grow taller, as tall as the woman next door, you will become mature and rational, you will slowly have your own ideas, you will find more hobbies and your own way, you will become bold and calm." Song You thought for a while, "You may be trapped by other things, or you may find true freedom." ”

"What your own way?"

"It's what you want to do, what you don't want to do, where you want to go, and where you don't want to go."

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while before she said carefully: "Sanhua Niangniang doesn't need to go anywhere she wants, Sanhua Niangniang can just follow you." ”

"Maybe we'll know later."

"Will the three flower girls leave you?"

The little girl stared at him without blinking as she spoke, her expression similar to that of a cat when she had become a cat.

Song You couldn't help but smile.

When I first met her, I am afraid that what she wanted was to walk with her for a while, and when the incense on her body dissipated, she would go to a mountain to continue to catch her mice and be at ease, right?

The Taoist replied with a smile:

"Maybe, maybe not, but that's all Sanhua Niangniang's own idea, a long time later."

"I don't understand."

"Do you want to learn to read?"

"It's hard."

"But it's going to get smart."

"It's going to get smart!"

"It's going to get awesome."

"It's going to get awesome!"

"Do you want it?"

"Yes!"

"It's ...... decided"

The smile on the Taoist's face grew, and he said: "When I take a nap, I will go buy a sand table, fold a willow branch, and teach Sanhua Niangniang to read and write." ”

"Does it cost money?"

The little girl's expression suddenly froze.

The Taoist was a little speechless.

In all fairness, I have been with her for so long and have never conveyed these thoughts to her, and I wonder how she became so frugal.

A good night's sleep, fairy days.

With a handful of money, I went out.

The sand table is not expensive, but it is a shallow square plate.

There is something outside the sand city, and the willow branches can be folded downstairs.

In the evening of the same day, the door downstairs was closed, the upstairs window was wide open, and by the light of the evening day, the Taoist smoothed the sand on the sand table, pinched the willow branches, and said to the little girl:

"Let's learn the first word first."

"Good!"

The little girl stared at the sand table carefully and waited for it.

The Taoist drew three horizontal lines on the sand table: "This is 'three', three horizontal, three, three flower Niangniang's three." ”

"Three."

"Isn't it easy?"

"It's easy!"

"Did Sanhua Niangniang remember it?"

"Remember it!"

"Good ......"

So the Taoist stretched out his hand and stroked the air, and the loess and dust on the sand table suddenly became extremely smooth, and then he handed the willow branch to Sanhua Niangniang: "Sanhua Niangniang come and try to write it." ”

"Sanhua Niangniang, try to write it."

The little girl repeated in a whisper as she took the willow branch from his hand and made three serious strokes on the sand.

The posture of holding the pen is not good, but the writing is neat.

It is not much different from what the Taoist wrote before.

Song You didn't immediately correct her problem of holding a pen, on the first day of today, she didn't write a few words, she couldn't develop a habit, and it was not too late to teach her to hold a pen tomorrow. As for today, there are more important things to do.

"Sanhua Niangniang is really smart, I only taught Sanhua Niangniang once to remember, and the writing is exactly the same as mine, not only unforgettable, but also talented, is a peerless genius."

“！”

The little girl's expression froze, and her breath stagnated.

"Since it only took Sanhua Niangniang to learn the word 'three' in Sanhua Niangniang in an instant, then let's learn a more complicated one next, is it okay to learn Sanhua Niangniang's 'flower'?"

"Good!"

Without hesitation, the little girl handed him a willow branch.

So the Taoist took the willow branch again, wrote down a flower character, and while writing, he read the order of the flower's strokes softly.

"This is the flower."

"Flowers!"

"Did Sanhua Niangniang remember?"

“……”

This time the little girl approached the sand table, tilted her head to the right, looked from right to left, tilted her head to the left, looked from left to right, looked carefully for a long time, and then said:

"Remembered."

"That ......"

"Sanhua Niangniang try to write it~"

The little girl took the initiative to take the willow branch from his hand, and solemnly put pen to paper on the sand table.

It's slow, but it's not wrong.

The word "flower" gradually took shape.

"Huh?"

Song You was a little surprised at this time.

The previous three words only had three horizontals, which was simple, and it was normal for Sanhua Niangniang to write almost the same as what she wrote, but it was much more difficult to write the flowers, and Sanhua Niangniang wrote it, not only rules, but also looked very similar to what she wrote.

"Right?"

The little girl looked at him quietly and clenched her fists.

"That's right!" The Taoist widened his eyes and was surprised, "I didn't expect that such a difficult word Sanhua Niangniang could also learn it again, and she is really a peerless genius." ”

Speaking of this, the Taoist showed hesitation:

"Originally, I was thinking about teaching Sanhua Niangniang three words to Sanhua Niangniang at a time, but learning two words a day is already the limit of ordinary people, even if Sanhua Niangniang is smart, it is not easy to learn much, I'm afraid that at this moment Sanhua Niangniang already feels that she can't fit it in her head, right? What's more, Sanhua Niangniang's 'mother' is more difficult than 'three' and 'flower', I'm afraid that Sanhua Niangniang won't be able to learn, why don't we learn it another day? ”

"Learn today!"

"Huh?"

"I can fit it!"

The little girl is thirsty for knowledge.

"That ......"

The Taoist frowned and hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind: "Okay then!" Sanhua Niangniang's talent and studiousness are rare in her life, in this case, she will violate the ancestral teachings of Fulongguan and make a special case for Sanhua Niangniang to learn words! ”

"Okay!"

"Please also ask Sanhua Niangniang to do what she can, if you really can't learn, don't be reckless, stop in time!"

"Okay!"

"Optimistic about ......"

The willow branches swept across the sand table, and the sound was so soft, just like the evening breeze outside the window and the murmur of pedestrians on the street.

Taoists write seriously, and girls also read seriously.

Today is extremely leisurely, but it is not wasted.
