Chapter 194: North or South (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Changjing is getting colder and colder day by day.
Fortunately, the weather has been good in recent days.
The houses in Changjing City are not as spacious as those outside the city, especially the houses of the Xicheng store, which have no yard to dry bacon, so they can only be dried outside. However, there are not many people who make lap-mei.
In recent days, people who come and go to Willow Street can see that bacon is hanging at the door of the shop with the word "Dao" flag and the sign of "Removing Rats and Worries", and after a few days, new sausages and sauced meat have been added. The amazing thing is that there is often a cat lying on the door to bask in the sun and sleep, but never steal meat to eat, but when other cats and dogs come, they will wake up immediately and drive them away.
People who come and go find it magical.
There is also a writer of miscellaneous books, who recorded it in the book as a strange story in Changjing.
When the cat is not there, he is a Taoist priest.
Someone has to be guarding it.
Sometimes the Taoist cat is there, it is often the cat sleeping soundly at the door, the autumn wind leaves are innumerable, the Taoist sits at the door with a bench, and puts the leaves on it one by one, until it is buried.
The cat knew, but ignored it.
After a while, Song You took the meat back into the house, hung it on the beam of the stove, and no longer took it out to dry every day.
Changjing has also gradually moved from autumn to winter.
The Neighbor Woman hasn't returned yet.
The scholar ghost has not returned.
The winter in Changjing is colder than Yizhou, the Taoist people have already changed their winter clothes, as the weather is getting colder, they also light the stove, often use the stove to cook a pot of tea, skewer a few skewers of meat to roast, then save a meal, hold a book in front of the window on the second floor and sit in front of the window for an afternoon, and spend half a day.
In the evening, go out for a walk and see Changjing in winter.
Changjing is the same as Yizhou, as soon as it comes to winter, most of the clothes of the prosperous world are gone, and the poor people in Xicheng are like cats and dogs all over the ground, spring, summer and autumn look like they are still the same, as soon as it is winter, it is really at the junction of life and death, maybe which night, people huddled at home or even on the street, as soon as they sleep, the next day they have been frozen hard.
Listening to the people in the teahouse, people are frozen to death every day.
"The Disease of the Times......"
This is still the case in the south, but I don't know how much suffering there is in the north.
Song You was sitting upstairs with a book in front of him.
This book is the "Jisheng of the Land" that he bought in Yidu, and what he opened was the first page of the book, the simple map of Dayan.
The stove was burning in front of him, and there was a teapot on the stove, and the pot was gurgling and steaming.
It is boiled with official tea, with red dates and sugar.
Next to the stove lies a three-flowered cat.
The Taoist stretched out his hand to lift the teapot, put it on the edge of the stove, and poured tea into a cup and a small bowl, one is an ordinary pottery cup, and the other is a fine exquisite blue and white porcelain, the tea soup is red and bright, and it can not be seen in the pottery cup, and it is in the hollow general exquisite blue and white porcelain bowl, which is clear and bright red, and it is very ornamental.
"Sanhua Niangniang has tea."
"Cool down for a while before drinking."
"Okay." Song You tightened the paper fur on his body, "It's better to be a Sanhua girl, you have cultivated the ability to change, and you can change whatever clothes you want." ”
"Sanhua Niangniang is amazing."
"It's been three seasons since we arrived in Changjing, and after this winter, we should leave."
Sanhua Cat suddenly raised her head and looked at him:
"Are you leaving again?"
"It's going to be a while." Song You said, "But we should start preparing in advance. ”
"Will you be back?"
"Nature."
"Oh......"
"Then please talk about the powerful Sanhua Niangniang." Song You picked up a cup and drank tea, "We have spring, after leaving Changjing, do we go to the north or to the south?" ”
"Sanhua Niangniang doesn't know."
"If you go to the north, it will be a troubled time, the demons will be a disaster, and the people will not be able to make a living. To the south, it's a little more peaceful, but you can also go to Toyosu Yeshan to have a look. Song You said to her, "What do you think of Sanhua Niangniang?" ”
"Sanhua Niangniang follows you."
"That's ......"
Song You raised his glass and slowly tasted the tea, falling into thought.
Changjing is the center of the world, and since arriving in Changjing, all kinds of gains are really big, but they can't stay here for a long time, and they have to leave after all.
Even if you know that Changjing is about to change the sky and the wind and clouds will rise, you still can't stay here.
This kind of historical drama often takes several years or even more than ten years to perform, and you can't stay here for it.
However, Changjing is the center of the world, not only in the political, economic and cultural sense, but also in the geographical location, and the size of Dayan, whether it is to the south or to the north, as long as you go from state to state, you still have to go back in a detailed and appropriate way to travel and see - it is not necessary to go back, and it is better to go back around.
It is equivalent to dividing the Dayan states into roughly four layers from the north and south, walking to the north, and then going east to the easternmost side, walking one layer, coming back and walking another layer, so that you can complete two layers and return to Changjing.
After that, go to the remaining two floors to the south.
I just hope that the next time I come back, I can come across the historical drama of Changjing, even if it's just good to hear about it.
"Speaking ......"
Song You had finished drinking the tea in the cup, but he didn't put down the cup, but sniffed the remaining orchid fragrance on the wall of the cup again, and then continued to say to the three-flowered cat: "It's getting colder and colder recently, and I heard from the people in the teahouse opposite a few days ago that it has snowed in Beiqin Mountain. ”
"It's cold in the snow."
"Yes......" Song You said, "It's cold in the city, let alone outside the city." ”
"That's right."
"Otherwise, Sanhua Niangniang won't go out to hunt rats at night. The night is the coldest, and if you go to hunt rats, you have to stay outside all night, and not everyone will prepare a stove for Sanhua Niangniang. It's better for Sanhua Niangniang to rest after finishing this order. Song You looked at the cat, "It's still warm at home." ”
"Sanhua Niangniang is not afraid of the cold!"
"Really?"
"In the past, when Sanhua Niangniang was in the temple, she had to go out to catch rats on cold days."
"Not anymore."
"Now Sanhua Niangniang is even more powerful."
"That's ......"
Song You nodded and didn't say anything.
I just want to find someone to make a mobile nest for her in a few days, it doesn't need to be too complicated, just a larger basket, covered with a quilt, and covered with a layer on top, every time I send her to work to carry it, and take it back when I come back. After the night shift every day, Sanhua Niangniang can sleep in it and be warmer.
Immediately, Song Youcai said: "I want to go to Beiqin Mountain to visit Doctor Cai and Snake Fairy again, do you want to go with me?" ”
"When are you going?"
"In two days, right?" Song You paused, "It just so happens that it is already snowing on the mountain, and it will be too cold after a while, and we will have to leave again after the beginning of spring." I have to wait for Sanhua Niangniang to finish this order first. ”
"I can't find it this time?"
"Then forget it."
“……”
Sanhua Cat hesitated, but only hesitated for a moment, and then stood up: "Sanhua Niangniang follows you." ”
After saying that, he stretched and began to lick the tea.
Maybe he had never tasted sweetness before becoming a demon, but once he attained the Tao, he found that this taste was so beautiful that every time Song You made tea, he had to put a lot of sugar or honey in it. Although Changjing almost has to put sugar in making tea in winter, after drinking it for a long time, Song You will also worry about his physical problems.
……
A few days later, one morning.
There was morning light in the middle of the fog.
What's the best thing to do today?
Swim and sleep.
Song You slept until he woke up naturally, so he took the picture of Cangshan and went out of the city with Sanhua Niangniang.
It's not that I'm afraid that the Cangshan map will be lost at home, but if there is no jujube red horse, if you want to spend the night outside in winter, you can't do it without a blanket, and it should be a storage device.
Slowly passing through the city, I don't know how many people's sufferings in front of me.
Out of the city, go to Beiqin Mountain, the familiar road, but it is already an unfamiliar scenery.
The colder it gets, and the windier it gets.
I spent a day at the foot of the mountain, slept overnight, and got up the next morning to see that the Beiqin Mountain was already white.
Sanhua Niangniang is still like a cat, her little feet are not wearing shoes, she got down from the wool felt, and as soon as one of her front paws stepped on the ground, she immediately retracted it and looked up at him:
"It's cold outside."
"Do you want me to hug me?"
"Don't~"
"It's not cold when you walk."
So one person and one cat packed up their things, put them in the painting, and then carried the painting box on their backs and continued on the road.
Walking up the mountain, you can see the snow.
Song You wanted to hug Sanhua Niangniang or invite her into the blanket, but she was strong and had to go by herself, so she had to leave a string of plum blossom footprints on the ground covered with frost and snow.
The deep mountain world under the winter frost and snow is extremely quiet, and the birds seem to have flown away in the mountains, although there are people on the mountain, but there are no footprints on the road. Except for the occasional sound of broken branches falling snow, almost no animal or insect sounds can be heard, so the so-called sound of broken branches falling snow has also become a kind of decoration of silence, not only does not disturb the silence, but also sets off the quiet.
Compared to the summer day of insect chirping, it is simply quiet.
The further you go, the thicker the snow becomes.
The slower a person and a cat go.
This time, it took nearly a day, and it took me to walk to the original thatched hut of Doctor Cai at dusk, but unfortunately, no one was found, and I even felt that since the last time I came to the present, Doctor Cai has not come back in the middle of half a year.
Song You had no choice but to stay at the door of Doctor Cai's house for one night, and the next morning, he went to the depths of Beiqin Mountain.
It's not long to go, and there's no way.
When I looked up, I saw the mountains full of white and reckless.
"Huh?"
Song You looked at a mountain on the left.
There was a path on that mountain, like a boulder rolling down from the top of the mountain, and a clear trail rolled in the snow. But the marks didn't go straight up and down, but they didn't look like they were caused by rolling rocks on the top of the mountain.
Song You and Sanhua Niangniang glanced at each other, then walked towards that direction, and when they got closer, they could see clearly, and it was really not caused by the rolling stones.
So I followed this trail and went all the way forward.
It's another trip over the mountains.
When I climbed a hill and looked ahead, I saw the end of this trace.
I saw a small lake in the middle of the white snow-capped mountains, the water surface was full of smoke, there were pines and bamboos on the lakeside, and there were a few thatched huts, all of which were covered with heavy snow and mottled white. There is a small boat floating on the lake, and a figure in a cloak can be seen in the distance, sitting on the boat and fishing quietly, the picture is extremely quiet.
Song You glanced at Sanhua Niangniang again, and then took a step.
The grass is deep and the snow is heavy, and sometimes you can not drop your knees.
Slowly walked to the lake.

Sincerity for sincerity! Tickets are coming!! Tickets are coming!!
