It was close to the autumn equinox, and it was almost Yangzhou.

Song You basically walks along the coastline, all the way to the east, which is convenient for Sanhua Niangniang to play at the beach and eat some seafood.

However, this road is really wild, and the seaside is very barren except for the abundance of seafood, but anything that is eaten too much in a short period of time will become boring. Even if Song You has plenty of spices and rich knowledge of cooking, he still can't help but want to eat some beef, mutton and pork, and want to eat some home-cooked stir-fried food with heavier smoke and oil to enrich his diet.

It's just that Sanhua Niangniang is really happy at the beach, Song You thinks that the road to the mainland will be very long in the future, but the seaside may not be able to walk a few more times, so he still walks along the coast.

However, walking and walking, after all, you can't go along the coast.

It's not that the east has come to an end, but that although it is still along the coast, there are no beaches, mostly mountains and forests and cliffs, and occasionally beaches and villages and counties, and no official roads, so Song You will inevitably go a little north and go to the mountains in the interior.

Slowly, the passing cities and villages also became prosperous, and the number of people who spoke official dialect increased, and the people who spoke local dialect gradually disappeared.

Song You knew that he was going to Yangzhou.

At this time, I don't know which mountain it is, I only know that there are a lot of dwellings in the villages under the mountain, gather between the mountains, most of them are buildings with white walls and tiles, continuous into pieces, and scattered, when Song wandered to the halfway up the mountain, overlooking this scenery can not help but stop and rest for a while, now go to the top of the mountain, but it is cool and deep.

The Taoist walked slowly with a bamboo cane.

Suddenly, there was an unfamiliar crop on the side of the road.

This crop grew more than a man tall, and each one was straight, as thick as a bamboo cane, and at first glance it looked like sorghum, and all the stems and leaves of the crop were withered and yellow, and there were fruits on them, the thickest of which were thicker than a human arm, and they were also wrapped in yellow leaves, and there were black burnt yellow whiskers on the top.

These plants grow densely and obscure the view.

"Mr. ......"

The swallow was the first to notice that something was wrong and turned her head to look at him.

At this time, there was a strange light in his dark eyes.

"See."

Song You also turned his gaze to the ground next to him, and he couldn't take it back for a while.

I already knew that Lao Yanxian had ordered the younger generations of the whole clan to go overseas to find good seeds, and he had already begun to benefit the world, but this was the first time he had seen a cornfield in his life.

"Tsubame ......"

Yes, it changed its name.

In the name of the swallow.

Song You, like Yanzi, both turned their heads and stared for a long time, but their footsteps did not stop.

The horses followed him.

The sound of bells echoed through the cornfields.

Suddenly there was a clearing on the side of the road.

“……”

Song You stopped, thought for a while, and looked up at the sky again: "It seems that it's already noon, let's take a break here and cook a meal." ”

Naturally, no one refutes it.

The cat stopped.

It's just that she feels strange in her heart-

In the past, Taoist priests would stop halfway to rest and make meals, either they would choose a place with a wide field of vision and beautiful scenery to facilitate the scenery, or they would choose a place that sheltered from the wind and rain or could not bask in the sun.

Today there are such small trees on both sides of the road, you can't see anywhere, there is a tiger hidden in it, you don't know, although the forest is dense, but it can't block the sun, but there is a small tree on the side of the road, but the small tree is very sparse in both branches and leaves, and it can't shade at all.

It's weird.

The cat only saw that they had just been looking into the woods, and for some reason, as they became more and more curious, they also stopped and looked into the woods.

Nature sees nothing.

It wasn't until the Taoist stopped by the clearing, removed the quilt bag from the horse's back, and took out the pots and bowls that she hurriedly turned into a human form and went to help.

A pot of millet porridge quickly cooked.

The little girl has a quilt bag on her left, a firewood on her right, and a small pot of porridge in front of her, in which the heat rises.

The Taoist sat cross-legged under the small tree, motionless.

Sometimes I look at the cornfield, sometimes I look at the little girl who is burning the fire.

As if he felt a little guilty, he thought about it before he spoke:

"Since Sanhua Niangniang is a year older, she seems to have become more diligent again, and her cooking skills are also improving."

"Really?"

"Nature is true. Sanhua Niangniang is getting more and more powerful as she gets older. The Taoist said, "In the past, I was needed to take care of Sanhua Niangniang, but later, I needed Sanhua Niangniang to help me collect firewood and help me make a fire, but now, Sanhua Niangniang can already feed me, horses and swallows by herself, which is really amazing." ”

"Really?"

"Who are you who love to lie?" Song You pursed his lips as he spoke, and looked up at the small branch, "If you don't believe it, you can also ask Yan An." ”

"Brush!"

The little girl turned her head and looked at the swallow in an instant.

The swallow stood directly above Song You's head and on the branch of the small tree, and he was like Song You, looking at this piece of swallow rice and distracted, his thoughts drifted far away, as for the dialogue below, he had heard this kind of dialogue many times in the past few years, and he had already been able to achieve the realm of "although he listened to it, it seemed that he didn't listen", but he never thought that he would be involved one day.

Hearing Mr.'s words, he was immediately stunned.

Facing the gaze of Sanhua Niangniang again, his scalp was even more numb and uncomfortable.

"This ...... Be...... Yes......"

After the swallow finished speaking, he twisted his head.

“！”

Sanhua Niangniang suddenly seemed to be affirmed, and a sense of pride arose.

"Look, Yan An said the same thing." Song You shook his head as he spoke, and looked at the horse next to him, "It's a pity that the horse can't speak, otherwise I would definitely think so." ”

"But Sanhua Niangniang still hasn't grown much taller......"

"Eh~~" Song You dragged a long tail note, "This is bad!" I have heard that the mountain is not high, the name is immortal, the water is not deep, the dragon is the spirit, and the cat and the three flowers are not the same? ”

"Meow?"

"The most powerful cat is not a cat that looks handsome, beautiful, strong and powerful, and can catch mice for others, it is a good cat, and the three-flowered cat is undoubtedly like this! The maturity and power of Sanhua Niangniang does not depend on how tall Sanhua Niangniang grows after becoming a humanoid, she can take on the responsibilities of the team and take care of the other members of the team, she is a mature, responsible and responsible Sanhua Niangniang! ”

“！”

The little girl's white brow furrowed instantly.

But it is not doubting the truth of these words-

These words are so good, you will know that they are true when you hear them, and they are full of the sweet smell of truth.

But as before, I wondered for a while, the Taoist priest has the same mouth as himself, and he can also speak human words, but why is the Taoist priest's words so good? Listening to it in your ears is like reading a good article, no, it makes a cat feel more comfortable than reading a good article.

At first, she thought it was because she hadn't read a book, but now she has read a lot of books, but in this regard, she is still far inferior to a Taoist priest.

“……”

It seems that I still need to work hard.

Sanhua Niangniang gritted her teeth and was determined.

The swallow stood on the branch of the tree, quietly watching this scene, and shook his head secretly in his heart-

I don't know when Sanhua Niangniang will wake up, and I don't know what she feels like when she really comes to the day she comes to her senses.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corn forest.

The little girl and the swallow turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.

But I saw an old farmer, with a sickle pinned to his waist, swaying along the official road and walking towards the mountain.

Seeing the jujube red horse first, vigilance is even more important.

Seeing the Taoist and the girl again, I was relieved.

"How does the gentleman rest here?"

"When I was tired of walking, I made a meal here." Song You straightened up and saluted, "It's polite." ”

The little girl immediately got up and saluted.

"Hey......

The old peasant just opened his mouth and smiled, not knowing how to return the courtesy, but he had already expressed his kindness, and then said: "I saw smoke in the soil on the hill at the top of the house, and I thought who was burning my swallow rice field." Otherwise, those who went up to the mountain to worship God today accidentally set fire to my swallow rice field. Come up and have a look. ”

"Oh......"

Song You came to his senses and saluted again: "That is, we are resting and cooking here, which caused a misunderstanding to the old man, and caused the old man to run hard." ”

The old farmer still laughed and waved his hands.

Song You just took advantage of this to ask: "This piece of swallow rice land is planted by my father-in-law's family?" ”

"Who else could it be?"

"This is the first time I've seen Yan Midi."

"How did you recognize it when you saw it for the first time?"

"I've heard of it before, and I've seen swallow rice, but it's only planted in the ground, and it's the first time I've seen it in my life." After Song You finished speaking, he asked him, "I don't know where the old man introduced the good seeds, did he start planting them this year, or did he start planting them before?" ”

"This ......"

The old farmer saw that he spoke softly and was a Taoist, so he was also happy to talk to him, so he stood up and preached to him: "It is a seed brought from Yangzhou, saying that there is a god named Yanxian, in order to make our people can afford to eat, and the harvest found overseas is very good, no one has planted it here yet, and our family has planted it for the first time this year, and only planted these two pieces of soil." There are many plants in Yangzhou. ”

"That's good."

"Oh, no matter what kind of rice, if you can feed your belly, it is good rice, no matter what kind of immortal, if you can save the world, you are a good immortal."

"That's right."

Song You nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but smile.

The swallows on the branches also have sparkling eyes.

For Song You, this is not only a picture in his memory, but also a change in this land due to himself. For the swallows, this is their Anqing swallow clan under the instructions of the old Yan Xian, I don't know how many swallows flew overseas, after several years of searching, and worked hard to get back. It is the merit and creation of An Qingyanzi. Now seeing that they are really benefiting the people in this land, some people remember the name of Yan Xian, some people call Yan Mi, and some people are grateful to them, as the birds concerned, they naturally feel wonderful in their hearts.

Only Sanhua Niangniang couldn't understand the feelings in their hearts at this time, and only turned her head to look at this small forest, her eyes full of curiosity and doubt.
