"Plop Plop ......"

A flock of seabirds flew up from the reeds, their wings flapping with a heavy sound, as if they were a little panicked.

Sanhua Niangniang stopped in an instant and turned to look.

The fish on his shoulder also turned half a circle.

The Taoist then stopped and looked at the past.

But I only saw a blue sky, white clouds like yarn, a few feathers fluttering down, and there was no other movement.

The swallow flew over and spun around, but didn't come back to report anything.

“……”

Sanhua Niangniang stretched her neck to look at it a few times, then retracted her gaze and continued to carry the fish forward.

The horses were fed with grass and followed.

"Do you want me to help you get the fish?"

"Don't!"

"It can also be put on the horse's back."

"No way!"

You have to take the fish you caught.

Sanhua Niangniang didn't reply, she didn't hesitate at all, and she didn't seem to be tired at all, and she didn't stop at all.

The small body, a large string of fish, and a meticulous look are really funny.

After walking for a while, he walked slowly through the wasteland, and saw the child herding the oxen again, still holding a sugar cane in his hand, a little shorter than before, and still sitting on the ridge, staring at them with the same clear but somewhat wooden eyes.

Seeing the familiar jujube red horse, the familiar bell sound, and the familiar Taoist, but instead of the most eye-catching three-flowered cat, there was an extra girl carrying many fish, which was also very eye-catching, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Little man! How about a fish for your sugarcane? ”

“……”

The sudden stoppage and the sudden questioning made him stunned, biting the sugar cane in his mouth, and a little overwhelmed.

"Little man, what about asking you, how about Sanhua Niangniang exchange a fish and a big fish for your sugarcane?"

"I ...... I have fish at home. ”

The child stared at her in a daze, stumbling in reply.

"One more!"

"Fish...... Fish is not tasty. ”

"Delicious!"

“……”

The child stopped talking.

"Not changing?"

Sanhua Niangniang carried the fish, a little distressed, turned to look at her own Taoist priest, the Taoist priest only stared at her and did not speak, so she turned back, the wooden stick and the fish on her shoulder swayed and flicked, and fell into thought.

"What about this!"

Sanhua Niangniang lowered her head and searched the ground, turned her back to the child, picked up a stone, and when she turned it around and handed it to the child, the stone in her hand had turned golden: "How about Sanhua Niangniang exchange this stone for sugar cane that is the same as gold?" ”

"It's like gold...... Is it gold? ”

"No, it's just a golden stone, and it'll change back in a while." The girl thought for a moment, "But it's beautiful, and if you take it home, the rats will run away, and no new rats will come in for at least a few months." ”

“……”

The child stared at the stone, his eyes twinkle.

After hesitating and hesitating, he finally reached out and took the stone, and handed the rest of the sugar cane to the girl.

Both sides completed the exchange and were satisfied.

The Taoist looked behind and smiled.

It wasn't until his boy walked forward with a wooden stick in one hand and a sugar cane in the other that he stepped up and walked a distance, and then asked, "Sanhua Niangniang's mouth is already healed?" ”

"It's already done."

"Isn't it bagasse scum that has pierced the flesh? How did you get it. ”

"After a sleep, it fell out on its own."

"Really?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

"Sanhua Niangniang is really hard-mouthed."

"Phew!"

“……”

The Taoist shook his head, looked back at the child, and when he saw that he was holding the stone up to the sky, he seemed very happy, so he withdrew his gaze again and walked all the way up.

All the way into the village and into the city, the girl carrying a large string of fish attracted many eyes.

There are not only villagers, but also cats and dogs.

At this time, the girl's expression was extremely solemn, and she always felt that there was an extremely proud heart hidden under that expressionless face.

It was only when she saw a hungry cat hiding in a corner to watch her that she would pause for a moment, take the smallest fish from the rope and throw it at it.

No wonder she was reluctant to let herself help her carry the ......

Song You thought so, but didn't show it.

Walking back to the inn, Sanhua Niangniang seemed to have tasted the sweetness of bartering, just entered the store, took out a big fish from the blanket, took it in his hand and said to the store: "We caught a lot of fish today, I gave this big fish to the store, and the store lent us the stove house for a use, how about it?" ”

"Nature can, nature can." The shopkeeper agreed, "The guest officer has lived in the small shop for a long time, and the kitchen itself can be used, if the little guest officer gives this fish to the small shop, then the villain will not accept the guest officer's oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, chai and He money." ”

"We've got it all with us."

"Hey......

The shopkeeper bowed and laughed twice, not snubbing her because of Sanhua Niangniang's young age, but after laughing, he looked at Song You again and said to him: "By the way, sir, a servant of the Yang family came to look for you this afternoon, saying that he had brought you a pot of wine, but Mr. was not there, so he stayed at the counter, and the villain will go and get it for you." ”

Song You followed him and walked into the house.

The shopkeeper quickly took out a pot of wine and handed it to the Taoist.

A ceramic flask stuffed with a red cloth stopper.

The Taoist pulled it open, and only smelled a very faint smell of wine, but there was a strong peach blossom and fruity aroma.

It smells good.

"Exactly."

The Taoist thanked the shopkeeper and went upstairs.

The shopkeeper stood downstairs and watched him, and after he left, he went to the back kitchen to find Sanhua Niangniang, and asked her if she could sell him these fish, until everything was done and returned to the lobby, only then did he begin to feel that something was wrong, until he slapped his head, turned around, looked at the back kitchen, and frowned suddenly-

Where did this girl come from?

……

The oil lamp illuminated the room, the window was still open, the moon outside the window was a little rounder, and there were two dishes on the table.

A large plate of boiled fish, still with small diced tofu and stewed plum sour fruit, there is still fish roe in the fish belly, and chili peppers are also put in, the soup base becomes bright red, it becomes sour and spicy, very good rice, there is a plate of fried small fish next to it, sprinkled with Taoist special chili dipping sauce, and two bowls of rice.

The Taoist poured himself a glass of wine.

"Where's the water?"

"Xiao Chai Niang sent it, this is wine, it's not delicious." The Taoist picked it up and smelled it, sure enough, there was no smell of wine, it was all floral and fruity, put it to his mouth and tasted it, and there was no spicy astringency at all, only the sweet and sour fruit taste, which really suited his appetite, and it was also very suitable for this table of dishes, "Thanks to Sanhua Niangniang today, I have a tooth sacrifice." ”

"Let's eat!"

Sanhua Niangniang said solemnly, picked up the chopsticks, first picked out the fish eyes, and used them to feed the swallows, and said: "Fishing by the water today, I always feel weird in the grass and forest." ”

"Are there any youkai?"

"I don't know."

"Sanhua Niangniang, why are you afraid of monsters."

"That youkai sounds very powerful, it doesn't have a head, it can't burn with fire, and it can break all the stones." Sanhua Niangniang was a little vigilant and worried, "When I went out fishing today, I was afraid that I would stain my little flag with fish, so I didn't bring my little flag, and I must bring my little flag when I go out tomorrow." ”

"Sanhua Niangniang is agile and flexible, and there are horses that run like the wind, but a headless monk, even if you can't beat it, you can easily retreat, why be afraid?"

"yes......"

"Let's eat."

"Oh......"

The cat was silent.

The Taoist people don't say much.

The moonlight sprinkled in, the Taoist drank with fish, drank to the moon, and the flowers and fruits were brewed without any intensity at all, even if a pot was drunk clean, it was only slightly drunk, just to wash and fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Song You woke up and the three-flowered cat was still lying on the window, staring at the people outside dyeing the cloth and repeating the same cloth for a variety of steps, realizing that the Taoist was awake, so he turned around and said to him that he was going out fishing again, and jumped out of the window.

Take on a human form, put on a blanket, pick up a fishing rod, and go straight out.

It's like a pillar of breadwinners.

“……”

Song You didn't say much, just told her to be careful, and then started to wash up and go downstairs to eat.

The weather was ok today, too.

In the morning, I walked around the city, to see the customs of this small border city, in the afternoon, the weather turned cloudy, the clouds often covered the earth, only a little cloud hole leaked light, hit the ground, Song You after all, some rest assured that the children by the lake, but also went outside the city to go around, until dusk did not come back.

Soon after returning to the inn, the girl also returned.

Tonight's Sanhua Niangniang still brought a blanket of fish, but she was out of breath, her face was also red, she sold the fish to the store, returned to the room, and said to the Taoist priest with a serious face: "Sanhua Niangniang met the headless monk today." ”

"Oh?" Song You sat by the window and immediately said with concern, "What does the monk look like?" ”

"He grows very tall, very big, as tall as Chen, and even bigger than Chen." Sanhua Niangniang said solemnly, "There is no head, it is covered in rags, and there is a hole in the belly, and that hole can speak." ”

"Is it the same as that old man?"

"It's the same." Sanhua Niangniang replied without hesitation, her voice was thin and clean, "He walked and walked in the grass, and as soon as he saw Sanhua Niangniang and the horse, he came over and asked him if his head was still on his neck." ”

Song You remembered the headless monk he had seen from afar this afternoon wandering in the fields of the golden autumn grassland, and he really looked like a giant.

"How do you answer Sanhua Niangniang?"

Sanhua Niangniang didn't answer at first, but observed him. He asked again, and Sanhua Niangniang observed it again and asked him what he said. "The girl looked serious, and thought she was right," he asked, as if a little annoyed. ”

"And then?"

"The belly can actually talk......

"Looks like he's."

"That's right." Sanhua Niangniang replied, and added, "Sanhua Niangniang doesn't want to tell lies. ”

"What happened? Did the fight start? ”

"It's a fight."

"Who won?"

“……”

Sanhua Niangniang looked left and right, and then said: "Sanhua Niangniang was originally going to bring a small flag, but she was afraid that the fish would stain the small flag, and she remembered what you said yesterday, so she didn't bring it." That monk is really powerful, Sanhua Niangniang invited the mountain god, only the place that turns into gold will not be broken by him, otherwise he will be beaten to pieces all of a sudden. ”

"Sanhua Niangniang can give priority to covering the places that are used more."

"Sanhua Niangniang did this, but the monk seems to be very smart, so he specializes in other places."

"Isn't Sanhua Niangniang still spitting fire?"

"When Sanhua Niangniang spit fire, the hole in the monk's belly spit out smoke, and the fire was blocked."

"That's interesting." Song You pretended not to see that scene, and said to her, "In the past, other monsters spit smoke and breath, and Sanhua Niangniang spit fire to burn to block, but today there are also demons and ghosts who use the same method to resist Sanhua Niangniang's true fire." ”

"So he's amazing!"

"What about the swallows?"

"Swallow ......"

Sanhua Niangniang's expression became smart, she looked left and right, pulled over the bench to sit down, and said to him: "The swallow has not taught his little sword, tell the little sword to cut off the monk's head, the little sword is spinning in the sky and can't find where the head is, not smart at all, and then the swallow thundered, but it didn't rain today, and the thunder was very small, and the monk didn't seem to be ......in pain at all."

The Taoist turned his head to look at the swallow.

The swallow stood at the window, combing her feathers, neither expressing any opinion nor pretending not to know that the gentleman was watching from afar in the afternoon.

"It does seem to be a bit of a way."

"That's right."

"And then?"

"That monk is too stupid, he runs slowly, he doesn't have eyes, Sanhua Niangniang got on the horse and ran away." Sanhua Niangniang shook her head as she spoke, still swaying her legs, not feeling embarrassed or discouraged at all, "He died in a hurry behind, and he couldn't catch up." ”

"Sanhua Niangniang is really agile and flexible, and she has a degree of advance and retreat, which is really admirable."

"Tomorrow Sanhua Niangniang will bring the flag and go and kill him."

"Sanhua Niangniang is well versed in the truth that 'a gentleman's revenge is not far away in ten years', but it is rare." Song You said sincerely, and then paused, "But in my opinion, there is no need to be so anxious. ”

"Meow?"

"Since Sanhua Niangniang learned the method of turning stones into gold, she can cooperate with the mountain god, but she is rarely such a suitable opponent. As for the evil monk's evil things, since he often wanders there, since Sanhua Niangniang is fishing there during the day, and Sanhua Niangniang guards it, he is not afraid that he will harm the passing merchants. Song You said to her, "It's better to keep him for the time being and help Sanhua Niangniang practice the cooperation of the two spells of turning stones into soldiers and turning stones into gold, so that the spells will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." I think it won't be long before I can defeat it by relying on the monsters in the flag without the help of the monsters in the flag, and by the Golden Stone Giant summoned by Sanhua Niangniang's own ability, at that time, Sanhua Niangniang can be regarded as a small success in the cooperation of these two spells. ”

“……”

The girl stared straight at him, her eyes flickering, her mind trying to understand, thinking quickly.

I finally figured it out and suddenly realized.

"That's right!"

The eyes staring at the Taoist priest also lit up-

Or how about a Taoist priest.
