"In that case, why doesn't Sanhua Niangniang just bury her prey in winter?"

“？”

The expression of the cat on the altar was stunned.

The question seemed to get her to the point.

Then he fell into deep thought......

"I don't mean anything else, I just thought, since the prey buried in winter is not easy to break, it is easy to break in hot weather, there is not much tribute in winter, and it is not easy to catch prey, and it is just the opposite in hot weather, so Sanhua Niangniang only buries prey in winter?" Song You paused, "I'm just thinking about it casually." ”

"yes......"

The cat's eyes twinkle and she continues to ponder.

pondered for a moment, but frowned, disagreeing.

"How can that work......

The cat muttered quietly, but couldn't tell why.

I just don't think that's going to work.

It's definitely going to be buried.

It has to be buried all year round.

As long as there is a lot of prey, it must be saved.

How can it be done without saving?

Sanhua Cat shook his head, thought about it, and suddenly became happy again: "It's still a good person, a good person, a smart person, you don't have to bury the meat, and you won't be eaten by insects." ”

It is worth being happy that Sanhua Niangniang has mastered this high-end skill that originally belonged only to people through her diligence and studiousness.

No wonder people can keep cats.

It's remarkable......

Speaking of which, the Taoist priest is more powerful than them, Sanhua Niangniang followed the Taoist priest, and became more powerful, not only can she use salt to store meat, but also have a brocade bag like in winter, so that the meat is not easy to spoil - thinking that she has a preserved mouse in the brocade bag, preserved chicken, preserved rabbit and dried fish and loach, which can be eaten for several days, she is very satisfied.

As for the sorrow of the year, it has gone with that year.

The cat leaned down, cocked its buttocks, stretched its waist, yawned, and then lay down again, looked at the Taoist priest level, and continued to talk to the Taoist priest.

"In fact, this temple is not the original temple of Sanhua Niangniang, the original temple of Sanhua Niangniang is in the mountains over there, there are very deep woods on the side, but it is a very small temple, and it was later moved by an old man named Muramasa from the temple to this temple. Originally, when I was over there, there were not so many people who came to incense Sanhua Niangniang, and Sanhua Niangniang went to catch a mouse every few days, and after coming here, the number of people who made incense became more. ”

When the cat thinks of his life back then, his eyes are also very bright, but his mouth is non-stop.

"Sometimes I have to go every day, sometimes I have to go to several places in one night, and I am so tired from running. There are only fewer people in cold weather. Fortunately, Sanhua Niangniang can find a way. ”

The cat didn't mention that after moving to this "big temple" originally dedicated to evil gods, and the prosperous incense directly caused her to attract the attention and suspicion of the local road god, maybe she didn't care anymore, and she had forgotten or ignored this kind of unimportant thing for many years.

Later, in order to thank him, Sanhua Niangniang also took a mouse and brought it to him, but he didn't eat it, and Sanhua Niangniang caught a bird for him to take it over, and he let it go again. Same with you. ”

"Then who first worshiped Sanhua Niangniang and erected a statue of Sanhua Niangniang?" Song You asked curiously.

"I can't remember. Anyway, it was a small temple, no one's. The cat tried hard to recall, because the memory was too vague, and the speech changed from fluent to bumpy, "Once it rained, even the rain in the mountains could not be covered by the woods, Sanhua Niangniang went to the people's house to cover the rain, and was chased away by the dogs, so she went to the small temple to shrink...... yes, I'll take you there tomorrow......"

"Hmmm......"

Song You sat down on the ground, nodded to her, and motioned for her to continue.

He has also been accustomed to the thinking of cats in conversation for many years.

"It seems that the rain has stopped, but Sanhua Niangniang didn't go out, because the ground outside is sticky, and the mud will stick to her feet. Cats can't be dirty, only dead cats can. And if it's dirty, it will be more picked up, bitten by dogs, and it will be very tiring to lick. The three-flower cat lay on the altar and preached to him, "As a result, a person came from the outside and saw the three-flower lady, and I don't know why, he actually gave the three-flower lady a bow, and then gave a cooked bamboo shoot worm to the three-flower lady to eat." ”

Song You almost constructed a picture in his mind.

It must have been summer.

Bamboo shoots are found in bamboo forests and are mostly found in summer, especially when the days are hottest. Poor families often try their best to find food around them, and many delicacies come from here. After the bamboo shoots are cooked, the body is almost full of meat, which tastes very fragrant, is a rare delicacy, and it is also a godsend meat.

This is also in line with the description of heavy rain in the mouth of Sanhua Niangniang, the rain in summer is often like this, and it is unstoppable at once, through the forest and leaves, and the small animals in the mountains can only dodge in a hurry.

Some villagers went up the mountain, saw a beautiful cat in the small temple on the side of the road that had been abandoned for a long time, maybe just heard a similar story, maybe there was a mouse at home, maybe there was no other reason, just the Sanhua Niangniang as a spirit in the mountains who got the way, and the Sanhua Niangniang at that time did give birth to a little wisdom, at least far more intelligent than ordinary cats.

"Roasted bamboo shoots are so delicious!"

The cat didn't forget to say this to him.

"Then Sanhua Niangniang followed him to his house to express his gratitude, caught mice for him, and then other people came to worship Sanhua Niangniang." Song You said, "Is that so? ”

"How do you know?"

"Guess."

Sanhua Niangniang knows how to repay her kindness, and she will return it if she has love.

"You're very smart." The cat said, "Then Sanhua Niangniang went out to look for food, but they didn't find it for a few days, and they saw that Sanhua Niangniang was not there, so they made a fake cat out of mud and put it in it, and called Sanhua Niangniang Sanhua Niangniang." ”

"A lot of it's like that."

"Hmm......"

"Then did the later Sanhua Niangniang prefer the small temple before, or did she prefer this big temple?"

"Hmm......"

The cat lying on his stomach looked stunned again.

That got her to that again.

Then he continued to meditate......

"The previous temple was very small, very comfortable to live in, and in the woods, it is very convenient to catch insects, rabbits, rats, finches and snakes to eat, and it is very fun, go down a little bit is the village where people live, you can also catch rats, it is also very fun, Sanhua Niangniang is very fond of it." Sanhua Cat said while thinking, "But this temple is bigger, and there are more people who come to incense Sanhua Niangniang, except for the small fish and loaches that can't be eaten every day in winter, Sanhua Niangniang also likes it." ”

"That's ......"

The Taoist nodded.

The cat continued to talk to him.

One night was the busiest, she ran back and forth between several houses, running wildly on the mountain road in the middle of the night. No one came for a while, so she thought that no one would come to her again, and she was low for a long time. Which family at the foot of the mountain has the most rats, which family actually brought her half a chicken, how lively it has been for many years, and how many times she hid in the temple and was found by the people who stayed overnight.

The temple has been a god for many years, and I have saved up endless words.

It's already dark outside.

The lanterns in the ruined temples in the mountains are lit up, and the voices are harmonious.

Naturally, this is the place to rest tonight.

But no one else came to stay overnight.

But in the middle of the night, a man and a cat had already slept, and there was an evil person visiting outside, and they were snooping through the temple door without a door panel, full of evil spirits, and wanted to enter the temple.

Sanhua Niangniang's reaction was much more intense than the usual time to meet the demon, it was rare to get angry, after waking up vigilantly, she only lay on the altar and looked at the evil for a moment, and when it wanted to come in and harm people, it rushed out like lightning, and burned it to ashes with a fire, leaving no scum at all.

Early the next morning, in another mountain.

The woods are indeed lush and wild.

Next to the path, between a few big trees, under the cover of chaotic thorn bushes, there is a small temple less than half a person high, very simple, originally supposed to be a temple of the mountain god or the land, and later it may be because there is no mountain god and no land in the local area, and it has not been bred, people find that it is not effective, and it is useless to worship, and it is slowly abandoned.

Until it was won by the three flower girls.

It's just that now the small temple has been abandoned for the second time, and after more than ten years of wind and rain, even the roof of the temple has collapsed in half, and it is full of leaves.

"This is it!"

Sanhua Niangniang was obviously a cat, but she raised a paw with white gloves, pointed to the small temple in front of her, and turned back to the Taoist and said.

It's a very humane action.

"The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the feng shui is very good, which is a treasure land." Song You looked left and right, and said casually, "No wonder it can give birth to Sanhua Niangniang." ”

"That's right!"

After the cat finished speaking, she wanted to move forward.

But over the years, the thorns have grown luxuriantly, but there is not even a gap for a cat to slip through. The three-flowered cat tried to get through, but was quickly stopped, and even though there were still a few thorny vines pulling her in, she wouldn't be allowed to enter.

At this moment, a voice came from behind him-

"Please give me a hand."

It is undoubtedly the voice of his own Taoist priest.

"Huh?"

Puzzled, the cat suddenly turned his head to see who he was talking to, but before he saw his own Taoist priest, he immediately turned his head back, attracted by other movements around him.

"Rustling Brush ......"

There was a subtle grinding and shaking sound.

The thorns that crisscrossed and blocked in front of the small temple actually seemed to be able to understand people's words, and they became refined and reasonable, and they automatically shrank back, one by one, how long they retracted, and the thorns that were originally inseparable except for swords and fires were all gone at once.

Make way for her.

A moment later—

The cat sat on the other side of the collapsed temple, full of fallen leaves, sitting upright, almost at just the right height, looking up at the Taoist, and telling the Taoist that she had been sitting here like this back then.

Revisiting the old place, the cat's heart is also wonderful.

It's just that she doesn't know it's called a feeling yet.

However, time is limited, and there is still a long way to go.

Sanhua Niangniang only stayed here for a while, reminisced about the past, and then followed the Taoist, left here, and returned to Jinyang Road.

……

It's actually eighth! Hey dicks!

Tonight, I will try to add a ninth-place ...... to the bigwigs
