At dawn the next day, Yun Chong got up to look for the red-tailed squirrel. The red-tailed squirrel found a tree with a hole in the woods in front of Yunzhong's house last night, and after moving some of the wild fruits that he picked with Yunzhong yesterday, he officially settled here.

After Li Fu made breakfast, she called Yunqing and Yunzhong over to eat together. Usually, Yunzhong only eats some goat's milk, although he occasionally eats some other food, but it is not regarded as a staple food. Yesterday, I saw that Yun Chong could even eat mountain fruits, so today I simply asked him to eat some rice with him.

Yun Zhong heard that it was his mother who was calling him to eat, stretched out his finger and pointed to the dining table, and screamed a few more times. The red-tailed squirrel and Yun Zhong can be said to have a heart-to-heart connection, and they immediately understood what he meant, and immediately prepared. It turned out that Yun Zhong wanted to compare with the red-tailed squirrel to see who would go to the dinner table first, only to hear the sound of "ah", Yun Zhong and the red-tailed squirrel rushed out almost at the same time, and they came to the dinner table almost instantly, one person and one beast were equal.

Li Fu had just seen that Yun Chong was still far away from him, but he was really surprised to find that he appeared in front of him again, and there was the squirrel beside him. Heart, why did my son run so fast.

Yun Qing, who happened to see this scene on the side, said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, our son has great skills." ”

Yun Zhong picked up two walnuts from the table and handed them to the red-tailed squirrel, holding one himself, and without looking at him too hard, he crushed the walnut, and then put the walnut kernel inside into his mouth.

The walnut shell was so hard that it was impossible for an adult to crush it, but Yun Zhong actually did. Li Fu looked at Yun Qing, hoping that he could explain it, and at the same time confirm whether what happened just now was true.

Yun Qing was also very surprised, because it was impossible for him to crush the walnuts himself, and he didn't know what was going on. In order to hide the embarrassment, he laughed a few times and said, "You see, our son is indeed extraordinary." ”

Yun Zhong was really able to eat by himself, and he ate quickly. After hurriedly putting down the bowl, Yunzhong and the red-tailed squirrel walked out together. Li Fu just wanted to stop him, but Yun Qing said, "Don't worry, my son has so much strength, he will be fine." ”

Li Fu glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid that he will accidentally hurt others." ”

Yun Qing was speechless for a while.

Yun Zhong walked down the street and didn't know where to go. Because of Yunzhong's special relationship, many five or six-year-old children used to come to him to play. But Yunzhong didn't know where they lived. When he was at a loss, a group of boys came up to him. Seeing them, Yun Zhong shouted happily.

One of the boys in the lead said, "Yunzhong, we went to look for you yesterday, and my aunt said that you and your uncle went up the mountain together." I just wanted to find you today, and I met you here. Do you say it's fun on the mountain?" The boy's name was Chu Kang, and he was Chu Yun's son. Speaking of which, Hui Niang and Li Fu were pregnant together, but Li Fu was pregnant for a longer time. Therefore, Yun Zhong and Chu Kang are also the same age. Usually, Chu Yun was afraid that Yun Zhong would be alone, so he often asked Chu Kang to accompany him with a group of children, so the two knew each other very well.

Yun Chong couldn't speak yet, but he could understand. Nodding his head, he gestured with his hand to what he had seen on the mountain. But Chu Kang didn't know what he meant.

Although Chu Kang couldn't understand what he said, he also felt that he was very interesting, and hurriedly asked, "When you grow up, can you take us to the mountain together?" As soon as the words came out, he remembered that his father had told him not to take them up the mountain with the clouds, and then said: "Forget it." By the way, don't you have a squirrel, why didn't you see it? ”

"Yes, we heard Uncle Chu say that you have a squirrel, why didn't you see it?" said a little fat man named Erfat, looking around. Everyone else chimed in.

When Yun Zhong saw that they wanted to see the red-tailed squirrel, he felt happy in his heart, and screamed a few times. Everyone only felt that a cloud was floating in the distance, and then they saw a squirrel standing in front of them, holding a lot of peaches in his hands.

Most of the children had never seen real squirrels before, and they were curious, so they surrounded the red-tailed squirrels in the middle and looked at them carefully.

The red-tailed squirrel is not stage frightened at all, with its head held high, its red tail wagging non-stop, and its expression is quite proud.

Yun Zhong knocked heavily on the red-tailed squirrel's head, then picked up a peach and handed it to Chu Kang. The red-tailed squirrel did the same, and gave the rest of the peaches to the others.

These children find the squirrel in front of them very interesting, and feel very close to it, almost like friends.

Red-tailed squirrels are also "self-cooked" and quickly get mixed with others. A group of children and a squirrel roam around the village. There are many kinds of fruit trees in the village, and when they come across one that bears fruit, they climb the mountain to pick some to eat. He even sneaked into other people's fruit yards to steal peaches. The red-tailed squirrel's peaches were picked here, but none of them were so fast except for Yun Chong, and they were caught in a short time. The people who watched the courtyard saw that it was a group of children, so they didn't reprimand them, and they heard that the youngest was Yunqing's son, and they personally picked some for them and took them away. Yunqing often goes to the town, and almost all of them buy something from Yunqing. Yunqing's prestige in the village is very high, and the villagers of Yunshui are simple, so there is this kind of thing.

Yun Chong played with the red-tailed squirrel and Chu Kang and others for several days, and Yun Chong and the red-tailed squirrel were even more inseparable, except for sleeping, they were all together. The red-tailed squirrel is worthy of being a different species of Honghuang, an ancient divine beast, and within a few days of coming, he became the leader of various animals in Yunshui Village. Now every time the children go out, they are full of chickens, ducks, geese, mice, cows, sheep, and even snakes.

At first, the children were frightened when they saw colorful snakes crawling around them. Thanks to the red-tailed squirrel directing the snake group to perform a snake dance, the situation was under control. Gradually, as they get used to it, the children find that they have nothing to be afraid of, except that they look a little weird.

In Yunshui Village, you can see a group of snakes arriving every day, and I think it's very strange. After seeing the squirrel led by Yun Chong in command, he felt more and more that Yun Chong was really extraordinary. This made the red-tailed squirrel very depressed, obviously I was directing these snakes, why no one admired me.

Yun Qing got up early today, because today happened to be the time of the town assembly, and he wanted to sell the pheasants, hares and some animal skins he raised at home, and change his shoes for daily necessities. By the way, I took Yun Zhong to Nuwa Palace to repay his wishes, and then sent some medicinal herbs to Miaofa Temple.

At breakfast, Yun Qing told him the news that he was going to take Yun Chong to the market. Yunzhong used to hear that there were many people in the bazaar, and it was very lively, and there were many novel knick-knaks. Listening to what those big brothers said was so good, Yun Zhong always wanted to take a look, but he never had the chance. How can I not be happy that I can finally get what I want today.

After breakfast, Yun Qing wanted to go on the road early and strive to come back early. When the game to be sold and the herbs to be delivered to Myohoji were all loaded on the cart, Li Fu suddenly remembered that lunch had not yet been prepared for them. In the past, when Yunqing rushed to the market alone, he would come back after selling things, and in order to save money, he would bring some dry food such as flatbread to satisfy his hunger. But this time Yun Zhong went with him, Li Fu didn't want his baby son to eat that cold thing, and wanted to fry a few plates of game for them to bring, but he was afraid that it would be cold then.

Yun Qing looked at Li Fu's good appearance and said with a smile: "No need to prepare." My son and I are in town today. ”

Li Fu also smiled: "You see I'm confused, just go straight to the restaurant." Then he said a few more words. When I turned around, I saw Yunzhong and the red-tailed squirrel standing together, ready to go. "Is the squirrel going too?"

Yunzhong and the red-tailed squirrel nodded together.

Li Fu looked at Yun Qing and wanted to ask him what he meant. Yun Qing thought for a while and said, "Take it with you, it will also save you boredom on the road." ”

As soon as the red-tailed squirrel heard that he could go, he landed on Yun Qing's shoulder with a slight jump, shaking his red tail and scratching Yun Qing's face. Yun Qing felt that his nose was a little itchy, brushed the tail of the red-tailed squirrel, and said, "Okay, let's hurry up." ”

Fengyun Town is a small town in the middle of nowhere, and it is estimated that few people know about it except for it on the map. The people who go to the market are people from nearby villages. Yunshui Village is about two hours away from the town. The game that Yunqing hunts is delivered to restaurants and large families in the town, and it doesn't take much time, plus buy some salt, rice and other things that are lacking at home, and usually you can get home at one or two o'clock in the afternoon.

The people of Fengyun Town are very easy to contact with outsiders, so the current way of life is basically still before liberation. At about nine o'clock, Yun Qing and the others came to the town, and he decided to sell the game first, and then go to Nuwa Palace to make a vow, and then go to the restaurant to eat after sending the medicinal herbs to the Miaofa Temple.

Yunqing usually sells game to the largest restaurant in town, Fengyun Restaurant. The owner of Fengyun Restaurant and Yun Qing are old acquaintances. Speaking of which, the meeting between the two is quite dramatic.

Once, Yunqing came home after selling goods, and met someone robbing him on the road. Yun Qing is strong, and the fierce beasts in the mountains can't hurt him, let alone two little thieves. Yun Qinggang wanted to teach a lesson, but a person came from a distance and shouted loudly.

The man was dressed very strangely. Although Fengyun Town does not have much contact with other places, it is not too outrageous. And the man was wearing a cyan robe from the Republic of China, looking like a scholar.

Yun Qing thought that this should be the legendary martial arts master, who came to hoe the strong and help the weak, but he didn't expect that after the man came over, he told the robbers over and over again that they should be fraternity and should not fight with each other. Yun Qing saw that the man talked about Sun Yat-sen from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, ***, and had no intention of stopping, so he couldn't help but interrupt: "Who are you?"

The group of robbers thought that the two knew each other and met Cheng Cheng, but they didn't expect that the two didn't know each other.

The man shook his head and said, "We are all fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we know each other when we meet." ”

The robbers couldn't stand it anymore and decided to solve the scourge in front of them first. Yun Qing saw that the man was weak, and hurriedly pushed him away and scuffled with the robbers. In the end, although Yun Qing was also painted, the robbers were more seriously injured, and they all fled.

The man was stunned and did not speak for a long time. When all the robbers were gone, he came to his senses, stepped forward to look at Yun Qing's injuries, and said, "My home is in the town, let's go to my house for treatment first." ”

Yun Qing didn't want Li Fu to see his appearance, so as not to worry him every time he came out in the future, and followed the man to the town again. When chatting on the way, I learned that the person's name was Feng Fang, and he was the owner of Fengyun Restaurant. Yun Qing felt strange that such a sour Xiucai who couldn't help but laugh was actually the owner of the largest restaurant in the town, which was really big in the world, and there was no wonder.

Since then, Yunqing and Feng Fang have known each other. Yun Qing felt that Feng Fang was basically a good person except for his sour speech, and the price he gave was also appropriate, so most of the prey Yun Qing in the future was sent here.

Yunqing saw the signboard of Fengyun Restaurant from a distance, and there were two small servants standing at the door. One of them knew Yun Qing, and hurriedly ran over and asked with a smile, "Yun Ye, what are you sending today?"

Yun Qing saw that it was the running hall of the restaurant and said, "It's the same as before." Lao Li, when did you start welcoming guests outside, didn't you use it as a running hall inside?"

The little guy surnamed "Li" smiled awkwardly: "I made a little mistake and was punished by the boss for a month outside to welcome customers." Then he pleaded: "Master Yun, you can say a few good words to the boss for me, saying that I will work hard in the future and never make a mistake again." ”

Yun Qing was still strange just now. Usually although this person is quite enthusiastic about himself, he is not as exaggerated as he is today, and he came to say hello from so far away, it turned out that he was asking me. Thinking of this, haha laughed a few times. "No problem. When I'm done, I'll tell your boss in person. After saying that, he put the trolley outside the door, and walked towards the restaurant with Yunzhong and the red-tailed squirrel himself.

The man hurriedly thanked him and welcomed Yun Qing in. The other guy standing on the side asked puzzledly, "Brother Li, who is that person?" Why are you so polite to him? ”

"Brother Li" said: "You have been here for a short time, of course I don't know him." He's our boss's friend of life and death. Then he talked about the process of Yun Qing and Feng Fang's acquaintance again, saying that Yun Qing was like a fairy, but Feng Fang was like an ignorant and sour Confucian. From then on, this little guy was more kind to Yunqing than "Brother Li", because he knew that immortals could not be offended.

Then the man asked, "Is the man who is next to him his son?" and a squirrel with a red tail, which is strange." ”

"Why didn't I see it. "Brother Li" just now only cared about letting Yun Qing intercede for him, and other things were automatically ignored, and even Yun Chong and the red-tailed squirrel didn't notice it.

Yun Qing knew the running hall and the account room in the restaurant, and after saying hello a few times, he went straight to the kitchen in the back. In the kitchen, a man with a face full of meat was chopping meat with his bare neck, and when he saw someone breaking into the back kitchen, he said angrily: "Who is it?" After seeing that the person who came was Yun Qing, he turned his anger into a smile and said, "It turned out to be Brother Yun." Today's origin is delivery. ”

Yun Qing knew that this person had always been disgusting and kind, and said with a smile: "Yes, Chef Fan." Except for one pheasant, which you made for our father and son, the rest were sold. ”

"Fan Chef" glanced at Yun Chong, who was looking around behind Yun Qing, and said, "I have long heard that you have a son, and I finally met you today." I didn't have anything to prepare for the while, but I invited this meal today. Then, he said to one person next to him: "Ergou, you take Yun Ye to settle the account." ”

After people are accustomed to eating domestic livestock, they want to taste the wild, and if they want to eat game, they have to hunt it themselves, so the price of game is also very high. Yunqing's twenty rabbits and ten pheasants were sold for more than a thousand yuan. After settling the bill, Yun Qing went to the kitchen again and instructed "Fan Kitchen" to stew the pheasant first, and they had to go out for a while.

Out of the restaurant, Yun Qing took Yun Zhong and the red-tailed squirrel to the Nuwa Palace in the east of the town. Fengyun Restaurant is in the center of the town, and Nuwa Palace is in the northernmost part of the town, although the distance is not far, but due to the twists and turns of the road, Yunqing and the others also took more than half an hour.

There are many small vendors outside the Nuwa Palace, including those who sell sugar gourds, those who blow candy, those who sell fake calligraphy, paintings and antiques, and some idlers who pretend to be beggars and beg on the side.

Yun Chong and the red-tailed squirrel were full of curiosity about all the novelties they saw along the way, and when they saw so many things, they hurriedly grabbed Yun Qing's sleeve and pointed to the candy people on the stall who seemed to be alive. The red-tailed squirrel looked at the red sugar gourd with a longing expression.

Yun Qing took Yun Chong out this time to buy him something fun, seeing that he liked sugar people, and the red-tailed squirrel wanted to eat sugar gourds, so he took them to the candy man stall first.

The candy man was an old man in his fifties, and when he saw a guest coming to the door, he asked enthusiastically: "What kind of candy man do you want, as long as you say it, I can blow it." ”

Yun thought about it for a moment and stretched out his finger to the red-tailed squirrel next to him. And the red-tailed squirrel also pointed at the cloud weight almost at the same time.

Seeing this, Yun Qing smiled and said, "Master, blow two." A small child and a squirrel. ”

The old man's skills are also very skillful, and after a while, two sugar figures were blown out. Yun Qing paid the money, took the sugar man, and handed it to Yun Zhong and the red-tailed squirrel. Yun Zhong held the squirrel-shaped candy man and couldn't put it down, while the red-tailed squirrel looked left and right, wondering if it could be eaten.

Yun Qing left the candy blower's stall, walked to the man selling sugar gourds, bought two strings of sugar gourds, and handed them one man and one beast. Although the red-tailed squirrel didn't know what a sugar gourd was, it knew that the red fruit was the hawthorn that it often ate on Qingyun Mountain. Without thinking about it, put the sugar gourd in your mouth.

Yun Qing led them to the front of Nuwa Palace. Nuwa Palace is very large and is the largest building in Fengyun Town. It has four gates, more than 100 rooms, and three floors of the palace, so it is also called "Santai Palace". There are more than 30 Taoist people wearing Taoist robes living in the palace, most of whom are women. The construction of the Nuwa Palace is very exquisite, and the wood used in it is all made of local materials, but the stone slabs used to pave the floor are fire stones taken from distant mountains, which are extremely hard and do not melt for thousands of years. The blue bricks and tiles of Nuwa Palace are also different from the yellow on the earthen walls of other houses in the town.

Yun Qing and the others walked into the first floor of the hall. This floor of the hall is the patio, there is a thousand years of osmanthus tree that five or six people can hug together, people call "Zhonghuang ancient osmanthus". The red-tailed squirrel had already eaten his sugar gourd at this time, and he didn't know where to throw the sugar man. When I saw this thousand-year-old osmanthus tree, my eyes lit up. Hold Yun Zhong and don't let him go.

Yun Qing actually didn't need Yun Zhong to accompany him, and the gods in the main hall on the third floor were all fierce and vicious, except for Nuwa Niangniang, and he was afraid that he would frighten his son. So he instructed Yun Chong to stay here and not to walk around, and then walked to the second floor of the worship hall alone.

Yun Zhong didn't know why the red-tailed squirrel stopped him, and the red-tailed squirrel didn't explain, so he hurriedly walked under the osmanthus tree and circled around the osmanthus tree, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't find it, so he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
