Early the next morning.

In the middle of the hut was lit by a stove and hung with robes, and the fishing tackle was leaning against the wall, and there was only an old man and a three-flowered cat lying by the fire.

The old man used an iron rod to stir the fire and looked down at the cat.

The cat also looked up at the old man silently.

"Your name is Sanhua Niangniang?"

The old snake fairy was the first to speak, looking away and asking.

"That's right!"

The cat was still staring at him, and replied solemnly.

"When did you meet him?"

"It's in the afternoon!" The cat's reply was precise, "When the sun is about to set!" ”

"What year."

"It's called the first year of Mingde......"

"Where?"

"In the temple."

"Miaozi?"

"My temple!"

"Your temple?"

"Sanhua Niangniang was originally a cat god who helped people catch mice, but the gods of the Heavenly Palace did not allow Sanhua Niangniang to be a cat god......"

"So he took Ling?"

"It was he who invited Sanhua Niangniang to accompany him and travel the world together, so that he would not be lonely." Mao'er said in a serious tone, "Then Sanhua Niangniang agreed." ”

"And you wanted to go with him at the time?"

"Sanhua Niangniang agreed!"

"I see."

The snake fairy nodded very calmly, his eyes flickered a few times, and he didn't know what to think, and then asked:

"How old are you?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"The Taoist priest said that Sanhua Niangniang has a long lifespan, so it doesn't matter how old the Taoist priest is, he also said that Sanhua Niangniang was born free, and he thinks how old he is."

"A long life isn't necessarily a good thing......

"Why?"

The cat is very puzzled, how long and comfortable it is.

"......" The snake fairy shook his head and didn't say much, but asked again, "How many years have you been enlightened?" ”

"I don't know."

"I don't know?"

"I didn't know how to count then."

"Where's the shapeshift?"

"One, two...... It's been six years! ”

"Then you are still young, and the future is still very long."

"It's a big cat!"

"Hehe......"

The snake fairy couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

I thought it was a lot of fun to talk to the kitten.

But suddenly it occurred to me that I began to find it interesting to talk to children, and it seemed that it was also a kind of mentality of getting older.

At this time, the cat took the initiative to ask:

"Your name is Snake Fairy?"

"You can call it anything."

"How did you get that big?"

"Huh?"

"So big......"

The lying cat briefly withdrew his hand from under his chest, gestured a length and width, and then retracted it again, and the peasant looked up and stared straight at the old man.

"That's it."

The snake fairy really understood what she meant, and replied with a smile: "It's normal for the demon's body to grow larger than ordinary animals, I'm old, I've lived for hundreds of years, and the snake demon is special, so the body is so big......"

"What's special?"

The cat continued to ask seriously.

"Ordinary animals grow to adulthood, at most after a period of adulthood, they will not grow up again, and they will even be thin and shrink when they are old, but legend has it that snakes have dragon blood, so they will always grow. Even ordinary snakes will keep growing until they die of old age, but they will grow slower and slower every year. The snake fairy's voice was slow, "After becoming a demon, it will be easy to grow very big." ”

"Can I learn?"

"Innate, can't learn."

"And how big can a cat get?"

“……”

The snake fairy turned her head to look at her carefully, and made eye contact with her.

The old man's eyes were already a little cloudy.

The cat's pupils are clear.

The snake fairy didn't see the slightest sorrow in it, as if she had never been worried about the difference in life between a demon who was destined to become profound and a monk of Fulongguan, and then looking at the clarity of these eyes, she thought that the young Taoist priest who was washing her face outside protected her well.

This is naturally a good thing.

The snake fairy didn't say anything, just thought about it before replying: "I remember that there are several spells in the Fulong Temple, which can make yourself bigger, some fake ones become bigger, and some real ones become bigger. ”

"The Taoist priest also said!"

"And what are you worried about?"

"Sanhua ......"

Before Sanhua Cat could say a word, the shout of his own Taoist priest came from outside:

"Let's go."

The cat immediately swallowed the unfinished words, quickly stood up, turned his head and said to the snake fairy, "I'm leaving!" I'll talk to you again! ”

"Let's talk about it."

"Again?"

"Let's look at fate."

"Let's go!"

The three-flowered cat shook her head and walked forward.

From here to the door, every step is farther away from the warm stove, the cold is getting heavier, and so out of the wooden door, it is already icy and snowy outside, the cold wind hits, the three-flower cat can't help but shiver, and then looks up to find the Taoist priest and the red horse in front of him, and then looks up at the swallow in the sky, and suddenly takes a step, and runs quickly forward.

When she ran to the Taoist, she slowed down her pace, slowly followed him, and walked hard in the snow, poking a small hole with each step.

The snake fairy watched them go away from the house.

Suddenly showed a smile, as if the heart can also perceive a little good, maybe the reason why older people like to chat with children is to draw a little simplicity from this process, so as to neutralize some of the complex vicissitudes of their lives.

……

It's already snowy on the mountain.

"You're here."

Song You patted the neck of the horse next to him, and said to it as he walked: "Doctor Cai estimates that some belongings will be brought over, without you, relying on his donkey alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to transport it." ”

"Poof......

The horse threw its head back and snorted.

The three-flowered cat walked seriously, walking in the snow, every step was extremely sad, but it also followed very closely.

Song You couldn't help but say: "I said that we will pick up Doctor Cai, if it goes well, we will be able to come back in the afternoon, even if Doctor Cai cleans up for a long time, at most it will only be tomorrow, the wind and snow are heavy outside, Sanhua Niangniang is very tired from walking, and her feet are cold, please Sanhua Niangniang wait here, Sanhua Niangniang will not either." ”

"Sanhua Niangniang is not afraid of being tired, nor is she afraid of the cold!"

"yes......"

"That's right!"

The cat didn't hesitate, looking up at him as she walked.

Every step had to be covered in snow to the thigh.

Just walking, I suddenly felt that the horse in front of me stopped, just as Sanhua Niangniang also stopped, raised her head to see what was going on, I saw a movement, and the horse lay down.

A moment later, the three-flowered cat was already lying on the back of the horse, talking to the Taoist as she went, about what she had just said to the snake fairy in the house.

It was about noon.

Song You knocked on the door of Doctor Cai's room again, and under the gaze of the three masters and apprentices, he said to them: "I have already told the snake fairy, the snake fairy is an old man who is grateful for the character of the divine doctor, and also feels that the advent of the medical scripture is a good thing for the benefit of all the people in the world. ”

"This ...... This means ......"

The divine doctor's eyes widened, and it seemed that the snake fairy also felt that the loss of his medical scriptures was related to the gods.

"As long as the divine doctor is willing to finish writing the medical scriptures, just go, in the snake fairy, you can rest assured." Song You paused, "It's just a little bit." ”

"Please sir."

"The snake fairy said that he is a snake after all, and there are often snakes in medicine, snakes can be molted and snake eggs, but snake gall bladder needs to kill snakes and snake gallbladder medicine is actually a bit risky, in exchange, I hope that the divine doctor can be cautious when writing about the use of snake gall in the medical scriptures." Song You looked at Divine Doctor Cai, "I don't know what the Divine Doctor wants?" ”

"The snake fairy is very right, snake gall bladder medicine is indeed a bit risky, easy to make people be invaded by insect evil, the old decay has been studying its alternatives. What's more, there is no need for Mr. and the snake fairy to say, since he was blessed by the snake fairy in Beiqin Mountain, the old decay rarely uses snake gall bladder into medicine anymore. ”

"It's for the best."

"It's lunchtime, just after the meal is ready, I invite Mr. to eat before leaving, and let the old man and the apprentice clean up their things."

"There's no hurry."

Song You smiled at them and said: "I am not in a hurry to go down the mountain, the divine doctor can slowly clean up, and when I get to the thatched hut by the lake, for the sake of insurance, I also ask the two senior disciples of the divine doctor to copy the upper half of the medical scripture that only one copy is left, or divide it into two parts, one is left in the thatched hut, one can be saved by the snake fairy, and the other is for the divine doctor to write down the half of the reference and reference in the future, and one copy will be taken away by me to see if some immortals have the courage to come to me to make small moves." ”

"It will take many days to copy, even if the two of them copy separately, day and night, it will take at least ten days."

"Don't be in a hurry, just enjoy the snow scene in the mountains, follow the snake fairy fishing boat, or go to the deep mountains to make tea and talk with the snake fairy, and talk about the past of the lecturer." Song You said with a smile to him.

"Thank you, sir!"

Doctor Cai immediately gave a big gift.

It didn't take long for the two apprentices to serve the meal.

A pot of porridge, a plate of fried eggs, and a plate of walnuts salad with soy sauce also have a taste in lightness.

The two apprentices didn't eat a few bites, so they went to pack their things quickly, and Song You told them that he had brought a horse, and he was afraid that he would live in a hut by the lake for more than a year, and asked them to bring some other necessities of life in addition to pen, ink, paper, inkstone and dried meat that could be used. Strive to bring enough for one trip. At least bring enough for this winter. After that, if there is not enough, wait for the weather to clear or the snow melts after the beginning of spring, and then use donkeys to come back and go down the mountain to buy.

Depart in the afternoon and return to the hut before dusk.

At this time, the snake fairy was no longer here.

Song You helped them clean up the thatched hut, and there was a thatched roof that was damaged, and he also helped to repair it, and also went to the mountains to find ancient wood and cut it into tables and stools, which was convenient for the master and apprentice to create and copy.

After that, he also lived here, waiting for the apprentices of the two divine doctors to finish transcribing the first half of the medical scriptures.

The miracle doctor writes every day, almost non-stop.

The two apprentices also had no intention of copying slowly, and almost forgot to sleep and eat.

Song You was idle anyway, so he sometimes went to the mountains to visit the snake fairy, make tea and chat with him, and sometimes went down the mountain to buy a few chickens and ducks that were good at laying eggs, and bought some grain, dried meat, paper, pen and ink strips, to replenish the material reserves for Cai Shenyi and a few people, and from time to time he had to persuade them to pay attention to their bodies and not to be in a hurry. Even Sanhua Niangniang will go to the house once a day after dusk, and at their request, use her own skills to light the lamp for them.
