I didn't intend to be a Fairy

Chapter 312: Catch Fish in Chinese New Year

Song You was awakened by the sound of gongs and drums outside.

When he opened his eyes in a daze, it was already the first day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Mingde.

The knocking outside continued.

Song You took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The air was extremely cold and the temperature was extremely low. You should stay under the blanket for a while in this weather.

But he still lifted the quilt.

The Sanhuamao huddled next to his thigh, lay down and buried her head deeply, her ears trembling slightly with the rhythm of the beating outside, especially the harsh sound of gongs and cymbals, obviously she had also been woken up, but still He lay prone and refused to get up, thinking that he was very tired last night.

"..."

Song You couldn't help but leaned over, moved closer to the cat, and took a deep breath on her body.

As expected, there was a warm smell of brine.

Turning my head again, I scanned the room, and found that the small movable stove in the room has slightly changed its position. I don’t know where it was moved to and then moved back. To imagine what it experienced last night, none of those things happened.

At this time——

The cat didn't know whether it was because the quilt was gone, the coldness replaced the warmth, or because the Taoist was puzzled by the action of sniffing on his body, and finally raised his head, with sleepy eyes, and stared at him with a puzzled expression.

"fine……"

As soon as the Taoist let go of his hand, the quilt fell down, covering the whole Sanhua cat tightly.

It's a cold morning in the north.

Breathing out, it was a rich white. When the Taoist got out of bed, he quickly wrapped it in a paper fur, and then came to the window, opened the window and looked down.

Although the town is small and there are not many people, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is not weak at all.

The Taoist stared at the window for a long time.

Withdrawing his gaze, when he turned around, he saw the cat on the bed poking out a head from under the quilt, and only one head came out, to be precise, only the facial features were exposed, with its chin sticking to the mattress. Seeing her body posture in the quilt, her eyes were half-closed, she was extremely troubled, but she kept staring at the Taoist.

Seeing the Taoist look over, she asked:

"Is it New Years today?"

"yes."

"Is it another year?"

"yes."

"Is it spring?"

"There are still a few days before the beginning of spring."

"When shall we go?"

"There's too much snow in the north, let's go after the snow melts."

"Are you going out?"

"Go out and buy some steamed buns." The Taoist said to her, "Does Mistress Sanhua want to eat?"

"Mistress Sanhua seems to have eaten it just now."

"..."

"The mice here are so small, only..."

When the three-flowered cat was talking, the quilt shook for a while, and stretched out a small white-gloved paw, as if wanting to show the size of the northern mouse, but found that only one paw could not be used to show, and two paws were needed. It felt inconvenient and unnecessary, so he shrank back and continued to stare at the Taoist:

"Anyway, it's very small, and it's big, oh, it's about the size of a pastry. It's round. Mistress Sanhua can eat several of them in one meal, but Mistress Sanhua made a lot of them last night and kept them all. Taoist priests these days There is no need to ask Empress Sanhua to eat."

"..."

The Taoist hesitated to speak, and finally left only one sentence: "Miss Sanhua really worked hard last night."

"It's not hard work."

"Then I'm going out."

"You go out."

The three-flowered cat still kept its posture, only showing a cat's face from under the quilt, staring at the Taoist.

The Taoist shook his head, went out and went downstairs.

The three-flowered cat also retracted its head.

The shopkeeper has been waiting downstairs for a long time.

"Mister is up?"

"get up."

"Auspicious New Year!"

"The store is also auspicious."

"Oh, by the way, sir, was the stewed pork cooking in the room last night?"

"No."

Song You could only answer truthfully.

Then he nodded with the shopkeeper and went out to the street.

A swallow flew in the sky and followed him.

The street is really lively on the first day of the first lunar month. This kind of excitement has little to do with whether it is prosperous or not.

Except for the day of the beginning of spring, the Taoist still didn't practice much, and only spent his time and energy on studying food. When he was free, he would go out of the city and listen to books next door. In the first few days, I could meet that young man named Xu Qiu'an every day, but he refused to sit with him again when the Taoist asked him to sit with him. In the next few days, maybe I started working again, so I couldn't meet him anymore.

The business of the inn gradually improved.

Song You lived here for a month.

The weather has warmed up a lot, but the snow outside the city has not disappeared.

Song You adhered to the concept of "all the money you carry is the hard-earned money of Empress Sanhua, and you should save it", and negotiated with the store to continue to live here until the snow melts outside the city. The price follows the monthly subscription, but you will be charged for one day One day's money is equivalent to cheaper.

The store owner is a sincere person and agreed.

It's just that during this period of time, this gentleman has made the store owner both anxious and confused.

What is anxious is that since the New Year's Eve, people keep coming to ask what kind of food the inn cooked that day and whether they can be eaten in the store. But these days, although this gentleman has cooked braised pork twice, who can tell? Thinking that the pot of brine can be reused? Even if he wanted to steal a lesson, he didn't have a chance, so he was so anxious.

Afterwards, there were several midnight scents. One time, the shopkeeper lit up lanterns and searched the front and back of the house, but couldn't find the source of the fragrance, so he couldn't help but wonder.

Fortunately, every time the incense comes in the middle of the night, there will be less brine in the cauldron, and the water line will drop significantly. But now, the brine is almost used up, and this gentleman seems to be leaving. I don't know if I can see him mix the brine again.

How can the store not be in a hurry?

There is still one doubt -

On the first day he moved in, this gentleman said that he had two friends in this city, and he had seen them in the inn these days, one was a very beautiful little girl, and the other was a The young man who is so handsome to the extreme does not look like ordinary people at all. After a long time, he found that these two people often only go in and out, and often come out from the inside without seeing them go in.

At the same time, when Mr. Na goes out, he is often followed by a three-coloured cat and a swallow-like bird.

The store owner often talks with his wife at night, talking about this.

I also had whispered conversations with relatives.

I only know that this gentleman is not ordinary, and he should also be a master of cultivation with considerable ability.

Gradually to the beginning of February.

The Taoist came out of the inn again, followed by a little girl on the left, wearing three-color clothes, and a young boy on the right, wearing black and white clothes.

"Mister is going out again?"

The shopkeeper greeted him, but couldn't help looking behind him.

"yes."

"Where are you going?"

"Go for a walk outside the city. It seems that the snow has started to melt these days. Go for a walk by the river." The Taoist smiled at him, "Maybe in a few days, it's time to say goodbye to the shopkeeper."

"The ice on the river in February is very unstable. Please be careful, sir. It falls every year."

"Thanks for the tip."

The Taoist thanked him and went out.

The shopkeeper is still staring at them.

It's just that I thought my eyes were dark and I didn't expect to be discovered, but the little girl who was following the Taoist with a bag on her shoulders turned her head from time to time, and also looked at him curiously. Several relatives said that the little girl was probably a cat. Things changed, the shopkeeper had no choice but to look away in a hurry, and looked away as if nothing had happened.

The Taoist left the city and walked towards the river.

There is a river outside the city, named Mo River. It is said that the ink bamboo in Mozhu County can grow black jade-like color because of drinking the water of Mozhu River.

In winter, the river is frozen.

You can leave all winter.

Only one month after the beginning of spring, the ice surface quietly thinned and became dangerous.

The three figures quickly reached the river.

It has also become deserted these few days, and there are almost no people by the river. The little girl glanced left and right, then took out a dagger from her bag, and then saw that she was holding the dagger, pointing down to the ice layer on the river. Kong drew a circle, silently, and there was no magic, and a circular circle appeared on the ice, smoother than the one sawed by a saw.

The little girl put in more effort, and soon there was a hole in the ice.

Immediately, the little girl put away the dagger, stopped moving, but squatted down, staring intently at the hole.

She had come with Taoist priests before.

It's really too cold here, the whole river is frozen, and the fish are uncomfortable in the bottom. Generally, if you open an opening, after a while, fish will swim over. Empress Sanhua is very capable, last time they caught quite a few, not only ate their fill, but also sold some on the street, and gave one to the store as a gift.

Empress Sanhua likes the feeling of catching prey, and even more like the feeling of catching prey and feeding it to Taoist priests. If she can sell it for money, she can't like it more.

Waited longer this time than last time.

Mistress Sanhua turned her head to look left and right from time to time, looked at the Taoist priests walking around on the ice, and at the boy Swallow who followed behind her but did not dare to approach, thinking whether they had scared her fish.

Not long after, the fish came.

"!"

Empress Sanhua's expression was a little condensed, and she also retreated a little, hiding behind the ice and quietly staring at the water.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, there were pointed hooked nails on his white and tender hands, which were crystal clear with powder in the middle, as if they were carved out of high-quality ice powder jade.

"brush!"

Reaching out like lightning, fast and accurate.

"puff……"

There was only a slight sound of water, splashes of water, and when the little girl's hand left the water, she had firmly caught a big fish in her hand, and with a wave of her hand, the fish fell to the ice.

It is really unmatched by people.

"Crack..."

The fish struggled and wobbled on the ice.

Empress Sanhua immediately turned her head——

The Taoist was turning his back to him, looking into the distance, not knowing what he was looking at, really.

Empress Sanhua had no choice but to turn her head to the other side.

The Swallow boy in black and white clothes stood a foot away from him, facing his side, looking at him.

Empress Sanhua stared at him closely.

"..."

The young swallow couldn't help but took half a step back.

Empress Sanhua continued to stare at him.

"..."

Swallow boy was even more uncomfortable.

"?"

Empress Sanhua frowned slightly.

"!"

The young swallow's expression froze for a moment, and he was frightened for a while, his mind was running quickly, and then he remembered, and said quickly:

"Miss Sanhua is amazing!"

"..."

Empress Sanhua took a long breath, showing a satisfied expression, she looked away, and continued to look at the hole on the ice, waiting for the next unlucky fish to come to her door.

Young Swallow also hurried over with interest, holding some kind of rattan grass in his hand, threaded the fish, and put it beside him.

Then even the little girl kept waving her hands and catching fish, and once she caught the fish out of the water, she threw it aside without looking at it, and just continued to stare at the water surface at the mouth of the cave. Young Swallow hurried over, carefully picked up the fish and tied it with a straw rope, not daring to get too close to her.

The Taoist still looked into the distance.

...

Golden Jasmine has launched a plan to save expired monthly tickets——
