There is more and more gravel ahead.

Many of the small puddles are not calm.

If it was the Sanhua Niangniang who was usually elsewhere, she would not let go of the fish and shrimp in the puddle, even if it was only the size of a little thumb, she would have to catch it. Even if the Taoist priest doesn't eat it, she will wash it and dry it into small dried fish and store it, anyway, she is small, and such a big fish is just right to eat.

But the Sanhua Niang Niang here today is different.

It's not that I don't look down on it.

Sanhua Niangniang is very saving.

Instead, she was going to ask Xiao Shuipu to help her keep them temporarily, and when she finished picking up the big fish and prawns, she would come back and bring them back to become small dried fish.

Along the way, Sanhua Niangniang made full use of the experience she had stolen from the locals, and also made full use of her own skills, as if she was deliberately showing her new skills to the Taoist priests, constantly bending down to find hidden fish, shrimp and crabs in the stone crevices, or moving away from the stone slabs to see, no matter how well hidden, how flexible or fierce the animal could not escape her cat's claws.

Sometimes when she caught it, she didn't put it in her blanket, but when she washed it in clean water, she would stuff it into her mouth.

By noon, she was standing behind an old woman wearing a hat, watching her dig for shellfish and oysters on the stone wall, and at the same time took out her own knife from her bosom and looked down carefully.

"That's enough." Song You hurriedly said to Sanhua Niangniang, "Sanhua Niangniang's harvest is already very rich. If this continues, Sanhua Niangniang caught so much in one day, and it will be very boring for a few days after that. ”

"Keep catching it for a few days!"

"I can't finish eating."

"You can take it and sell it!" The little girl pointed in the direction she came from yesterday, "After that village, the village over there can sell fish!" ”

"You remember ...... clearly"

"Sanhua Niangniang has a great memory!"

"But the sun is already shining."

"yes!" Sanhua Niangniang said with deep concern, "Then you go back to hide from the sun!" Sanhua Niangniang is not afraid of the sun! ”

“……”

Song You had no choice but to look at her helplessly, only to feel that she seemed to be addicted to some kind of addiction.

It's actually a rewarding pleasure.

Fortunately, he has a way.

Song You looked up at Tianri and said, "But it's noon now, I'm already hungry, Sanhua Niangniang has harvested so much seafood from the sea, it's time to go back and taste them." And I have to burn the fire, cook, collect firewood and clean up the seafood, and I can't be busy at all. ”

"Oh!?"

Sanhua Niangniang seemed to be very surprised, and when she heard this, she hurriedly looked up at the sky, as if she was shocked that it was really noon before she knew it.

"What do you think of Sanhua Niangniang?"

"Sanhua Niangniang thinks you're right!"

"Come back tomorrow."

"Come back in the afternoon!"

"Good ......"

Song You led her back.

The little girl's blanket was already stuffed, swollen, and her hands were not empty, but she was not tired at all, and she refused to let Song You help her carry it, but her steps became more and more brisk, and her heart was full of accomplishment.

"Is it fun here?"

"It's fun!"

"I told you a long time ago, it was a few years ago, in Changsheng County under Genting Mountain, right?" Song You said, "I didn't lie to you, did I? ”

"It's more fun than what the Taoist priest said!"

"Then we'll stay here a little longer." Song You said to her, "Sanhua Niangniang can play slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

"I'm looking for food!"

"Okay, take your time."

"And when are you going to sea?"

"Let's go to sea in a few days, and then go to sea in a few days." Song You thought about it for a while, and then said to her, "Actually, it is interesting to catch the sea by the sea, and the harvest is abundant, but there are really many creatures in the sea, and these are washed up by the waves from the sea." When we go out to sea, we can also go fishing or go into the sea to catch fish, and there may be shrimp and crabs that are bigger than Sanhua Niang, which are also delicious. ”

"Really?"

"Don't dare to deceive Sanhua Niangniang." Song You paused, "When we come back from the sea, we can stay here for a few days." ”

"Do Taoist priests like to eat?"

"I like it."

"Okay!"

The little girl followed him closely, but she couldn't help but chase the little crabs on the beach as she walked, pretending to step on them with her feet, and at the same time picking up or catching some fish and crabs along the road and stuffing them into her blanket.

Approaching the place where she slept in the open last night, Sanhua Niangniang quickly quickened her pace, and hurriedly ran to the small pool she had built to see if her hard-earned harvest was still there. Then he counted and counted carefully, and when he saw that there was no one missing, he breathed a sigh of relief, and took out the new prey, and put it into it the same, counting as he went.

Then he was not idle, and went to collect firewood and make a fire.

The Taoist people cleaned up the seafood.

Before coming here, Song You had already foreseen such a situation, so he made enough supplies and preparations, with a lot of spices, ginger, onions, and garlic, just need to set up a pot to have a delicious meal.

It's rare to have a few days of leisure, Song You is not too troublesome, so according to his own taste, the black sea bream and sea crab are steamed, the razor clams are made into hot and sour, the sea shrimp are used for stir-frying, and the small fish and shrimp are the most convenient.

Sanhua Niangniang still looks at it seriously.

To be honest, this is also one of the few times when Song You is not nervous when she is secretly learning cooking skills - at least she shouldn't use these skills on rats for a short time.

If you can't finish eating, you can take advantage of the scorching sun on the seashore to dry fish and take it to the sea to eat.

In the afternoon, Song You wanted to go to sea to practice rowing, but the scorching sun was too hot, but he was not in a hurry, so he simply found a shady place to take a nap first, and then went to sea later.

Sanhua Niangniang didn't want to rest at all, so she took her blanket and went out to get busy.

These few days are undoubtedly her fairy life.

Song You is also happy to be leisurely and change his taste.

In these years, it is not easy to eat mountain delicacies far away from the mountains and seafood far from the sea. The local people are tired of eating him, but they are far from getting tired of it.

In the evening, I will eat a small green dragon and fry a cat's eye snail.

I eat in a different way almost every day.

In addition, you only need to accompany the Sanhua Niangniang to walk around, one is used for a walk in the morning or evening, one is used for boating on the sea, and when you are free, you can sit and feel the charm of this world, lie down and have a big dream, and time has a completely different meaning from busy and full at this time.

……

About ten days later.

The morning sky is blue and cloudless, and the calm sea is also blue.

The Taoist was barefoot on the sand, the waves kissing his feet gently, and he had untied the rope that held the wooden boat in place and dragged it into the sea.

"Brush ......"

Wooden boats grind a trail on the sand.

Song You stopped slightly and turned his head to look into the distance.

A little girl dressed in a tricolor dress with a ball-tied head stands under a coconut tree and looks up.

A swallow flapped its wings and rested on a coconut branch.

"Sanhua Niangniang get out of the way!"

Following the voice of the swallow -

"Poof!"

A coconut falls.

The coconut fell almost against the little girl's face, and smashed a little in front of her feet, but she did not avoid it at all, nor was she afraid at all, and she did not even blink her eyes, as if she knew that she would not be able to hit herself—she just glanced down at the coconut, and then pushed it with her foot, and walked to the other side.

There's already a bunch of coconuts there.

A cat and a swallow are actually picking coconuts.

The strange thing is that the swallow is obviously very small, and a coconut is already many times larger than him, and his beak does not seem to have much power, but he only pecks lightly, and the coconut falls.

One peck, one carry.

The two little monsters work together and are very efficient.

Song You withdrew his gaze and continued to drag the boat to the edge of the waves, then turned around again and looked at his own horse.

"The sea is unpredictable, and it is really not suitable for you to go, so I have to trouble you to wait for us here." Song You said to the horse, and at the same time lifted the quilt bag, "If it is short, it may take a few days, ten days, and if it is long, it may take a few months, no one can say, but if it goes well, I will ask the swallow to fly back and tell you about our situation at sea." ”

"Poof......

The horses snorted.

"Sanhua Niangniang has prepared a lot of semi-hay for you, but it is all exchanged for the fish and shrimp she has picked up in the sea these days, if you finish eating and don't like the grass by the sea, you can also go to the distant mountains. I'll call you when we get back anyway, and you can just come here and find us. ”

"Poof......

"Thank you for your hard work."

Song You patted it on the neck, and then carried the quilt bag and put it on the boat.

The boy and the girl also came with coconuts in their arms, and they all piled up on the boat, and ran many times in a row.

"Let's go."

Song You said to them.

"Canopy ......"

The boy suddenly turned into a swallow, flapped his wings, and flew into the sky.

The little girl, too, turned into a cat, looked up at the sky, and then at the horses in the distance, and then jumped into the bow of the boat, and shook the sand off each of her four little feet, and then jumped into the cabin.

Song You put on a hat, covered the sun, and with a little force of his hand, he completely pushed the boat into the sea.

As soon as the oars were drawn, the boat sailed out to sea.

The three-flowered cat is on the edge of the boat, with its chin resting on the edge of the boat, staring intently at the beach and the horses on the beach.

The sand and the coast are getting farther and farther out of sight.

Sanhua Niangniang finally withdrew her gaze.

"Taoist ......"

"Huh?"

"Why don't you do that?"

"Which one?"

"Just tell the boat to run faster!" The three-flowered cat looked up at the Taoist priest rowing the boat, "And then it will run as fast as it can!" ”

"Boating is also a lot of fun."

"But that way you can run very fast and far."

"Sanhua Niangniang has a point." Wearing a hat and rowing a boat, the Taoist resembles a fisherman at sea, he smiled at the cat while rowing, "I also know that Sanhua Niangniang wants the boat to run faster in order to come back quickly and continue to pick up fish and shrimp on the beach, but how does Sanhua Niangniang know that the depths of the ocean are not as fun as the coast?" ”

"Huh?"

"Sanhua Niangniang has seen countless schools of fish, like flocks of migrating birds in the sky or locusts raging in Yan County, swimming densely in the sea, forming tornadoes or fish tides?"

"Huh??"

"Sanhua Niangniang has seen colorful, bells and whistles and fish that look different, and she is not afraid of Sanhua Niangniang at all, so she swims past Sanhua Niangniang?"

"Hmm???"

"Sanhua Niangniang has seen a huge fish jump out of the water, bigger than our boat, expose its belly, and smash into the sea?"

“……”

"Let's slow down just to see these never-before-seen landscapes." Song You's tone was patient and gentle, "Of course, most of what I said just now is what Sanhua Niangniang wants to see, and I want to see more than Sanhua Niangniang, so I have to go slower." ”

"It's like climbing a mountain to see the stars!!"

"It's amazing."

Song You smiled and said to Sanhua Niangniang: "Sanhua Niangniang is really getting smarter and smarter, just a little bit." ”

The cat is thoughtful, as if it has really gained.

In a dazzling effort, the coast and the beach are completely invisible, and the tops of the coconut palms can be seen before, but now you can only see the peaks on the land.

Sanhua Niangniang finally stopped holding on to the edge of the boat, but slowly slid down, simply lying in the cabin, as soon as she opened her eyes, there was a whole blue sky, but not even a seabird was seen, only the swallow that was flying around alone was enjoying it alone, as if it was never tired.
