Last night was quiet, and I slept until dawn.

When Song You woke up, the cat was no longer in bed, the house was empty, and the courtyard was clean, but there was a sound of talking from outside.

Listen carefully, a voice is clear and pleasant, with ignorance and innocence, and a voice is young and elegant, but it is very respectful.

"Then when you go back to pack your things today, remember to bring all the mouse meat that Sanhua Niangniang gave you, as well as your own rat meat. The people in this house don't seem to eat rat meat. ”

"It's nature. But Sanhua Niangniang misunderstood. Yuzhou eats snakes and rats, and Xufu naturally eats rat meat. ”

"Huh? Then why don't they give us rats? ”

"Sanhua Niangniang didn't know anything. Although the people of Yuzhou like to eat snakes and rats, but there is little rat meat, and snakes are difficult to catch, generally speaking, rat meat is not considered high-quality meat, and the people are forced to eat rat meat. Now Sanhua Niangniang and Song Xianshi are the distinguished guests of the Xu Mansion, even if the Xu Mansion eats rat meat on weekdays, how dare they take the rat meat out to entertain the two at this time? What's more, the two of them came from afar, they were outsiders, and the Xu Mansion knew that many people in Yuzhou didn't eat rat meat, so they didn't dare to take it out to entertain the two easily. ”

talked a lot, it was clear and reasonable.

But Sanhua Niangniang only heard one sentence and replied:

"Rat meat is superior meat!"

"Huh? Sanhua Niangniang loves rat meat? ”

"Sanhua Niangniang eats it all at once!"

"That being the case, please also ask Sanhua Niangniang to relax, tomorrow the rat meat will definitely appear on Sanhua Niangniang's dinner table. Let Sanhua Niangniang see the rat meat practice in our Yuzhou. ”

"Thank you for that!"

"By the way, Immortal Master Song also likes ......"

"Leave him alone!"

"Good good ......"

In the room, Song You slowly got up and rubbed his hair.

The voices outside the house kept coming.

"When are you going to go back and get it?"

"The head of the house was kind and said to let the coachman send me. It should have left in the morning, so you can walk back and forth before dark, and if you take the bus, you can leave in the afternoon. The scholar's voice paused for a moment, "Anyway, the family is almost destitute, except for a few changes of clothes, rat meat hanging on the beam, and a few books, there is nothing else to clean up." ”

"Going in the afternoon?"

"Yes......"

"Sanhua Niangniang has a dry mouse meat here, give it to you, you take it back and eat it at noon. Eat one's fill. ”

"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? ”

"Sanhua Niangniang is the most lacking in rats!"

"Thank you Sanhua Niangniang." The scholar's voice paused again, "This piece of meat is good meat at first glance." ”

"That's right!"

Song You was not in a hurry to get dressed and washed in the room, and the sound coming from outside was like a birdsong in the early morning, continuous, but it also made people feel calm.

"Why does Sanhua Niangniang have a soft spot for rat meat?"

"Sanhua Niangniang herself has to eat rats."

"I don't know what the name of Sanhua Niangniang is......"

"The name is ......"

"Oh, that's why Sanhua Niangniang is called Sanhua Niangniang?"

"Because Sanhua Niangniang has three colors, it is the best-looking, it turns out that there is a group of people who think Sanhua Niangniang is very powerful, so they call Sanhua Niangniang Sanhua Niangniang."

"I see."

"I see~"

"In addition to rat meat, Yuzhou's snake meat is also a must, especially the dragon and phoenix stew, I don't know if Sanhua Niangniang likes it?"

"Sanhua Niangniang also eats it often!"

"That Song Immortal Master ......"

"He loves chickens!"

"That ......"

Just listen to the squeak.

Song You pushed open the door.

Outside the house is a corridor. At this time, two figures, one large and one small, stood in the corridor, separating the left and right sides of a pillar, the tall and thin man seemed a little restrained, very respectful, and the girl who did not seem to have grown up had a natural attitude, supporting the pillar with one hand, standing with one foot, kicking the air back and forth with one foot, and looking up at him.

The swallow rests on a branch in the courtyard.

The two of them turned their heads to look at the door at the same time.

"The Immortal Master is awake?"

The scholar surnamed Xu does not seem to be a sociable person, nor is he good at socializing with children, let alone talking to a child who is not only good at magic powers, thinking and talking, but also different from normal people, after seeing Song You come out, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Song You: "Did the immortal master sleep well last night?" ”

"No one made any noise last night, and I slept well." Song You smiled slightly, "It's better for Mr. to sound good." ”

"It's Xu who called it indiscriminately."

"It's natural."

"Yes yes yes ......"

The scholar surnamed Xu was still restrained, bent over and bowed down: "The head of the family asked me to ask the immortals...... Sir, what kind of paper should I use for the yellow paper for drawing symbols, hemp paper or rattan paper? Or is it bamboo paper, glutinous rice paper? ”

"It's good to be casual, you can use blank paper, and you can use whatever is convenient to buy and what is of good quality in Fuyao County."

"Xu, this is going back to the head of the family." The scholar surnamed Xu said, "The house has prepared breakfast for Mr., I don't know if Mr. will go out to the city after breakfast, buy something, or have other things to explain, just ask for it." ”

"I really want to go out for a walk and see how many monsters there are in this Fuyao City." Song You said to him, "But I don't buy anything, and I don't need anyone to lead the way, just walk around." ”

"Then Xu will go to report to the head of the family first."

"Walk slowly."

"Farewell."

The scholar departed respectfully.

Sanhua Niangniang was still standing in place, still holding the pillar with one hand, turning her head and staring at the Taoist, her eyes were black and white, her face was white and delicate, and her face was expressionless.

No one knew what she was thinking.

"Gone."

Song You rubbed her head.

The girl immediately let go of the pillar and followed him.

The breakfast in Xufu is simple and exquisite, a bowl of mash rice balls, poached eggs, and a few plates of fruit snacks, after eating, it is very comfortable.

Song You thanked the old man for his kindness in sending a housekeeper to help lead the way and give him money, called his own cat and swallow, and went out of the gate of Xu's mansion, glanced left and right, then chose a direction and walked forward.

Xu Mansion occupies the best location in the city, better than the location of the county government, go out and walk a few streets and alleys, are the residences of the powerful and rich in the city, deep mansions and courtyards, large households in Zhumen, natural and clean. However, there is also some noise as we walk, some people shout, and there are strange crisp calls.

"It's like a fox barking!"

Sanhua Niangniang turned back to her Taoist priest and said.

"It's a fox......"

The swallow in the sky flapped its wings, lowered its head and said: "There are a lot of foxes in Fuyao County recently, and there are also many in the city, and there are also many people who rely on catching foxes and eating meat for money. Just now, there was a fox, probably through a dog hole, into a family's yard, was discovered, and the owner's house was driving away. ”

"Hmm......"

Sanhua Niangniang looked up at him, and quickly lowered her head, looked ahead, and did not answer.

At the end of the alley ahead, in the middle of the road, stood a gray-brown fox, turning its head to stare at them.

Sanhua Niangniang instinctively slowed down and lightened her steps, staring at it closely, until her own Taoist priest walked behind her, she came back to her senses, she is now a villain, not a cat, not to mention that there is an adult following her, so she put away this appearance and turned to walk towards the fox normally.

At this time, the fox also stepped into the other side of the alley.

Song You quickly walked to the place where the fox was standing, turned his head to look in the direction it left, and saw that the fox had gone away, but he still stopped, and looked back curiously and vigilantly.

“……”

Song You pursed his lips, ignored it, and did not go in its direction, but chose the opposite direction.

As soon as you get out of the alley, it is a downtown area.

It is early in the morning, when it is the most lively.

Some people are selling steamed cakes and steamed buns, rock sugar gourds, some people shouting at beggars and foxes, and some people whispering to ask for prices.

There are also people chasing foxes in the middle of the city.

"Stand!"

"Woohoo!"

"Help stop it!"

The commotion quickly spread to Song You's side.

Song You hurriedly let go to the side of the road.

Sanhua Niangniang was full of curiosity, poked her head to look over there, and caught a glimpse of her Taoist priest's movements, stunned for a moment, then learned his movements, and hurriedly let go to the side of the road.

Four or five foxes ran by, very agile, some drilling into the crotch of the man's pants, under the drill cart, and some jumping over the vegetable stall.

Behind him were three hunting dogs, in hot pursuit.

Further on, there are people in poor clothes with tools to catch foxes, and they are also in hot pursuit.

Although the fox is agile and fast, it is the hunting dog that has been bred after all, and soon there is a fox that runs slower and is chased by the hunting dog, and the hound lowers his head and bites the fox's tail, and the fox is immediately dragged to the ground unbalanced, and then the hound pounces on it and temporarily controls it.

The people behind him caught up, and they were all familiar with it.

One person took a long rod ring and put it around the fox's neck, which was so precise that the fox had to struggle and scream as soon as he was caught in the trap, but he couldn't escape.

"Ahhh......h

The screams are like those of children.

Then another man caught up, took the fox off with a sack, and stuffed it into the bag, and a fox with intact fur was caught.

The hounds are still chasing.

"There are already so many foxes here that you have to rely on officials to catch them?" Song You looked at that side.

"Mr. I don't know that since the beginning of this year, the local fox has become a disaster, and now it's okay, a few days ago, the foxes gathered in the downtown area, and the officers and soldiers in the city had nothing to do, and they all came to catch the fox." A man dressed quite richly heard Song You's self-talk and told him about it.

"Where are so many foxes?"

"Running from the mountains, strange things happen every year, especially this year, I'm afraid there will be some disaster in the local area......"

"That's right."

Song You retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward.

It's really a prosperous age.

If it is the last years when a dynasty is naturally weakened, don't say that so many strange things happen frequently, even if three or two things come out together, it must be said that the court is exhausted and a sign of troubled times. Even if there aren't so many strange things, you have to make up some strange things.

Now that so many strange things are gathered here, the locals would rather believe that the local area is going to suffer a disaster, and they don't think about whether the world will be chaotic.

All the way along, wander around.

Not only did I see the poor catching foxes for wine money, but also saw the rich people bringing hunting dogs to chase foxes for fun, and I also saw foxes quietly stealing people's meat to eat, which caused the butchers to scold again and again, dogs chasing foxes, foxes chasing cats, and I also heard that the foxes in Xicheng gathered into a group, but they were not afraid of people, and they would send officers and soldiers to clean up tomorrow.

As a result, the entire county town of Fuyao looks chaotic.

Sanhua Niangniang was happy, so many small animals ran in front of her, and every time she couldn't help but reach out and want to get someone's house. Probably the only regret is that I didn't come out in the form of a cat today.

The human form still somewhat affects her performance.
