The house price in Yangdu is very expensive, far more expensive than Lejun, Song You wanted to live in an inn, but only lived in a carriage and horse shop.

In the room on the first floor, it was a bit old, except for a wooden and black shelf bed, there was only a square table and four benches, and the benches were still placed upside down on the table. The only small window was still relatively high up on the side of the wall, and the sunlight shone obliquely through the window, casting a spot of light on the ground, illuminating the dust flying.

Song You came in with his bag, looked around left and right, and put the bag down.

Then he lowered the bench from the table.

There is everything in the quilt bag, even if it is a dilapidated temple in the barren mountain, as long as it can shelter them from the wind and rain, it is enough for them to live well, for this humble room, Song Youzi does not mind.

The cat didn't mind, and even had no concept of good or bad room in her heart, and when she walked into the room, she just walked around the wall, sniffed the smell of the room clearly, and then settled down, and quickly ran to the bottom of the pillar of light cast by the window, straightened up and stretched out her paws, hooking the dust in the pillar of light to play.

All of a sudden, she was also in the pillar of light.

The sun shone through her hair, as if it were glowing.

“……”

Song You sat at the table, he was going to take out the cups and bowls of oil lamps from the quilt bag, but he couldn't help but stare at her for a while, his heart seemed to be infected by the beautiful picture of this moment and her simple happiness, even if he was in a completely unfamiliar city and a completely unfamiliar place, his heart immediately calmed down.

After a while, he smiled and shook his head and went on with his business.

Teacups, small bowls, oil lamps, chopsticks and spoons.

It's all on the table.

When the cat heard the movement, he also turned his head to stare at him, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to help him, but he was playing again, so he kept an upright posture, and his paws were still raised, so he stared at him without blinking, and the whole cat looked a little stupid for a while.

Time made a choice for her-

After just struggling for a while, the Taoist priest had already taken out the things that should be taken out, and he couldn't help much if he went again, so Sanhua Niangniang retracted her gaze with peace of mind, and continued to look at the dusty sky with the light, grabbing and grabbing with one paw.

"Poof......

The last thing Song You put on the table was a book.

On the cover of the book is the title of the book: "Strange Chronicles".

Tsuki, Gu also. The sky is also called the sea.

One of the other names for the sea.

This book was bought when I first entered the city, and the main narrative in the book is anecdotes about the sea, mostly about demons and ghosts, or some things that are not related to demons and gods but are difficult for the world to understand.

This kind of book can not only satisfy people's curiosity, but also easy to read, and is most suitable for shrinking at home to pass the time, so it has always sold well.

As a person who came back from the sea and traveled all the way along the coast, Song You was not only interested in these bizarre stories, but also wanted to know what he had missed along the way.

In addition, this kind of storybook is also suitable for all ages.

"...... Uproar"

Song You slowly flipped through the book and read it carefully.

There are both the villains and the beast kingdom on the top, and the Yaksha country and the beard country, but the above description is very detailed, more or less distorted, mixed with people's imagination, and post-processing.

It can be seen that not only has the author not personally visited these strange countries, but even heard about it not from the mouths of those who witnessed it, but turned his mouth to an unknown number of times. Even when the author heard about these things, they had been circulating in the coastal areas for many years, and they had long since changed their appearance.

I don't know what it will be like after thousands of years.

The book also records a lot of gods on the sea, which god worships can not capsize, which god worships can not encounter wind and waves, and the name of which god should be called if something happens and falls into the sea, as well as when these gods should worship is the best, and what can be offered to their liking, all of which are clearly written, and I don't know how true or how false it is.

There are also some strange customs and interesting things.

Song You was fascinated.

Before he knew it, the cat turned into a little girl, came behind him, and stared at the book with him, silently.

"Did Sanhua Niangniang see it? Nowadays, people generally write books, and they write like this. Song You deliberately looked at it a lot slower, flipped through the book with his fingers, and said without looking back, "But most of the stories recorded on it are very short, and they are very miscellaneous, and they are all kinds of small stories put together, which is different from the book that Sanhua Niangniang wants to write." ”

"Hmm......"

"If Sanhua Niangniang writes down what she has seen and heard along the way from Lan'an to the sea, whether it is fishing, whale jumping, or the scenery along the way, and then to the Yaksha country, the beast country, the Lilliputian country and the messy many sea countries behind, and wear them into strings, it is not only a road that no one has walked in this world, but also a book that no one has written in this world."

"Hmm......"

"What do you think of what I said?" Song You still didn't look back and asked.

"Sanhua Niangniang thinks you're right!" The little girl also answered honestly.

"So how much has Sanhua Niangniang's masterpiece been written? Where did it come from? Song You looked at the book and asked.

"Don't tell me!"

"Sanhua Niangniang refuses to solve my curiosity?"

"Turning the page......"

"Alas......"

The cat has grown up.

Song You stretched out his hand again to turn the page.

"...... Uproar"

This is a rare long story in this book, telling the story of Ye Xinrong's great-grandfather who was stranded on Yaksha Island at sea.

From the ancestors of the Ye family who went to sea, how to have an accident and live on Yaksha Island, how to get along with the dominatrix, how to give birth to feelings, how to teach Yaksha to make a fire and barbecue meat on Yaksha Island, how to take the opportunity to escape from Yaksha Island, and the heirs from the army to the general, and then to the decline by the government's suspicion and dismissal, all of which are clearly written.

Song You and the girl both looked very seriously.

The story told in the book is much more detailed than what Ye Xinrong told himself at that time, and it is really like what Ye Xinrong said, the story that has been passed down to the world is better than what he told himself.

It's just that what Ye Xinrong said is true, there is a lot of luck and a lot of personal wisdom, and naturally there are a lot of ups and downs and fascinating plots. In contrast, the version that has been handed down and written in books is undoubtedly a story that people prefer to listen to and watch.

It's also interesting to compare the two.

It's just that the light outside the window is getting darker and darker.

The ink on the paper dissolved into the dim room, and it became more and more difficult to see, but it was Song You's stomach that rang.

"Gollum ......"

"Goo-goo-goo......"

The first few sounds were stomach growls.

The next few sounds are the screams of scholars.

Song You turned her head to the left back, and the girl also turned her head to the right front, and the two looked at each other.

"Let's eat."

Song You closed the book and stood up.

"Let's eat......"

As soon as the girl turned around, she exploded the black smoke and turned back into a cat, still staring up at him: "There are a lot of rats here!" ”

"Let's try what the local food has to offer."

"Okay......

One man and one cat pushed the door and went out.

This carriage and horse shop only provides accommodation, stationed horses and temporary storage of goods, the horses have grain and grass, people only eat steamed cakes and steamed buns and rice soup, fortunately there is a restaurant to eat across the bridge.

The Taoist walked in front, the cat followed, one person and one cat walked at the same pace, through the stone street, up and down the arch bridge.

The Taoist stopped in front to look at the scenery, and the cat also stopped and turned his head to look.

When the people saw it on the road, they all called it strange.

"Sir! What to eat? ”

"What?"

"There are so many small shops! We don't necessarily have the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the big restaurants in the city, but they just don't have such expensive ingredients, and the craftsmanship is not worse than them! The young man put the rag on his shoulder, smiled and said to him, boasting about the sea.

"When I first came to Yangdu, I didn't know what to eat in your place and store, so I asked the store to be the master and serve two special dishes." Song You smiled slightly, "It's just that you are a poor Taoist below, so it's good that the store doesn't want to harm it with some expensive things." ”

"Don't worry! The small shop is honest, and there is no deception, let alone a Mr. Guanzhong! The man grinned, looked down, and looked at the cat beside him, "This cat was brought by Mr.?" ”

"It's my travel companion."

"Since there is a raccoon slave, let's have a fried river fish for Mr. and keep it delicious." The guy paused, "Since it's two, how about adding a small shop sign, tea-boiled shrimp?" ”

"Trouble is over."

"Okay!"

As soon as the guy turned around, he went to report to the back kitchen.

Sitting in the shop, I could hear his loud shout.

The cat sat upright at Song You's feet, because it was cold in winter, she wrapped her tail around the front and stepped on her feet as a footpad, but looked up at the wall next to her.

There are many wooden signs on this wall, all with the name of the dish written on it, and the price written underneath.

Although it is a small roadside shop, it is almost the same as the big restaurant, but these wooden signs are not carved and engraved like the big restaurant, and the name of the dish is not deliberately "elegant and awkward".

The three-flowered cat looked side by side, searched carefully, and finally found a dish called "Yuhua fried fish" and a dish called "tea-flavored shrimp", and saw the price below, which made her whole cat stunned for a moment.

Just this summer, these fish and shrimp were all not collected and could not be eaten.

Sanhua Cat's expression was a little serious.

Then he turned his head in the opposite direction and stared at the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest never looked at her. She had no choice but to twist her head back and continue to stare at the menu on the wall seriously.

As if to force it to lower the price with his eyes.

"Yuhua fried fish!"

The man sang aloud and brought a plate.

The so-called jade flower fried fish, with less than two fingers wide, most of them are only one finger wide, and the length is only half a palm. When it is about to swing, it is placed in a circle in the pan, and after frying and turning over, the shape is not bad, and it is still a circle.

The batter and fish are fried until golden brown, and the green onion gives off a rich aroma.

Song You took out a small bowl from the blanket, exquisite blue and white porcelain, first sandwiched a small fish, put it on the bench, and dedicated it to Sanhua Niangniang, and then sandwiched it into his bowl and tasted it in small bites.

The taste is still very light, and the fishy smell of the river fish has not been removed. In this way, it is not like frying it directly in the pan to fry it thoroughly, only the outer layer is fried, and the innermost fish is still soft.

Perhaps it would be more suitable to use marine fish.

Fortunately, the green onion has a strong aroma and is fried with the batter, giving off an attractive aroma similar to that of scallion pancakes, which makes up for a lot of flavor.

Song You sandwiched a small fish for Sanhua Cat, picked a piece of bread and put it in his mouth, and just happened to bring him a bowl of rice, with some golden fine grains and some small green and red dices in the rice, and brought him a small plate of pickles to accompany the rice, which looked much more delicious.

So he smiled and thanked the man, and took the opportunity to ask about the god of bliss.
