I didn't intend to be a Fairy

The fifth day of the first lunar month is also the beginning of spring.

Song You was packing his bags in the yard.

Bring all your clothes.

There are not many clothes, and it doesn't take up much space.

Water bags and dry food, pots, bowls and teacups, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Yudi Ji Sheng, including the unfinished meat hanging on the beam of the stove, I don’t bring more things, but I also need to bring what I should bring.

It is a long way to go, it is inevitable to eat and sleep in the open air, and the spring is cold, so you have to bring something to keep you warm at night.

The wool felt given by Yu Zhizhou was top grade, it was pressed very thin, better insulated from the cold and warm than a mattress, and there was not much space to fold it up, and with a thin blanket bought at the temple fair, it would not be afraid to spend the night in a wild mountain temple.

These days, there are quilt bags similar to pack bags, which are also bought at temple fairs. They are commonly used by business travelers and soldiers.

The bamboo hat and coir raincoat can be hung on the top.

The bay red horse stood still obediently and let him play with it.

Today and yesterday are the beginning of spring, the beginning of all living things, the most vigorous vitality, this breath of vitality is of great benefit to all things in the world. This year's first ray of Lichun's spiritual power at the foot of the mountain is different. Song You gave it to the bay red horse, making it look radiant now.

After everything was cleaned up, the yard was also cleaned up, whether it was the cobwebs above the head or the dust at the foot of the wall, they had to be cleaned up, and everything that should be picked up had to be picked up.

Finally, I bowed my hands and said goodbye to the direction of the bamboo forest:

"I have been disturbed for half a year, and I often listen to madam's singing to kill my spare time. Although I enjoy it in my heart, it is really rude to think about it carefully. I should say goodbye to my wife and apologize for leaving like this. I only hope that my wife will soon Let go of your obsession, or wait until your husband returns as soon as possible."

It was daytime, so there was no response from the direction of the bamboo forest.

But Sanhuamao looked up at him:

"What am I going to say?"

"Need not."

"oh."

One man summoned the horse to go out, and the other cat followed behind.

Outside the door, Luo Butou, dressed in soap, stood at the entrance of the alley.

"I see you off, sir."

"The class leader has a heart."

Before leaving the city, Liu Zhixian led Yu Zhizhou to hurry over.

"If I had known earlier that my husband was going to leave today, Yu should have hosted a banquet to see him off yesterday, and please forgive me."

"If you know where the state is."

"Anyway, it's Yu's fault! I came here in a hurry today. Fortunately, I didn't miss seeing him off. I just bought some snacks for him on the way here to satisfy his hunger halfway. A woolen blanket for the bed and a lotus coat, to keep out the cold in the middle of the night, please take it, sir."

Song You still looked at Yu Zhizhou a few times.

"Thank you Zhizhou."

"Where are you going, sir?"

"I don't know where to go, I just go east."

"How long is the trip, sir?"

"Twenty years."

"..."

Yu Zhizhou was stunned for a moment.

Behind him, Luo Butou and Liu Zhixian were also taken aback.

twenty years...

How many twenty years are there in a person's life?

I have only heard of some people spending 20 years chasing fame and fortune, and some people spending 20 years voluntarily degrading themselves, but I have never heard of someone spending 20 years traveling around the world.

There have been countless ups and downs in the past twenty years, who can predict? Twenty years later, no one knows whether they will still be standing here, or even whether they are still alive, even the youngest Luo Butou, in fact, has already passed his thirties, twenty years later, fifty There is more than enough, even if it has not yet been buried, it is already gray-haired.

But when listening to the master say this, his tone is indifferent, as if he thinks it is commonplace, and he doesn't take twenty years as a thing at all.

Yu Zhizhou felt mixed feelings for a while.

If we say goodbye at this time, it will be difficult to see each other in this life, right?

"Go slowly, sir."

"Thank you gentlemen."

The two sides saluted deeply face to face.

Then Song You led the horse and went further and further away.

A few people watched from behind, their hearts were very strange.

Recalling what Mr. has done in Yidu in the past six months, whether it was cutting off fog ghosts on Jinyang Road, setting fire to demon monks in front of the Buddha’s temple, or helping to capture the jugglers at the temple fair, lightning struck across half of Yidu city. Human beings are indifferent to fame and wealth, carefree and unrestrained. Usually, they have seen people with Taoism and ability, such as Master Guanghong, but how could they have seen such an expert as Mr.

I am afraid that the living gods in the story are nothing more than this.

Such a fairy should be written down.

...

The morning cloud is swollen, and the dew is not clear.

One person, one cat and one horse left the city gate.

The horse didn't have a rein, and Song You didn't need a rein either. He was walking in front, and the horse silently followed behind, and there was a cat beside him, which also followed obediently.

There are thousands of mountains and rivers ahead, and the weather is unpredictable.

However, the road is long and obstructive, and the journey is approaching. Song You only kept a peaceful heart and walked forward step by step.

The loess road outside the city leads to the end of sight.

The farmland cottages beside the road have beautiful scenery.

The shallow grass along the way is withered and yellow. As the sun comes out, the dew evaporates, and the ground is thick with dust. Every step on the ground will stir up a small tent of dust. Song You likes this feeling very much, it makes every step he takes more visually effective, and therefore clearer and more real.

Mistress Sanhua still ran back and forth, smelling here and sniffing there, showing a puzzled expression from time to time.

"We seem to have walked through here."

"Empress Sanhua is extremely smart."

"Why are we going back again?"

"Only this small paragraph is repeated."

"where are we going?"

"Go east."

"Which side is east?"

"The side where the sun comes out in the morning."

"What are you doing over there?"

Sanhuamao kept up with him with small steps, and looked up at him while tilting its head: "Are you going to find out where the sun comes from?"

"no."

"Then what are you looking for?"

"Look for places with amazing mountains and rivers, places with simple folk customs, legendary gods, creatures that only exist in stories, and all the wonderful and wonderful places in this world."

"..."

The little cat tilted its head and looked at him for a long time. After digesting for a long time, it finally figured it out. Then it said: "There are gods in the temple, and Empress Sanhua used to be a god."

"them……"

Song You shook his head and smiled: "It's just an official ghost."

"Then what do you call a fairy?"

"Hard to say."

"You don't know either?"

"I have not seen."

"Then you still look for it."

"I'm going to look for it if I haven't seen it."

This world is not as developed as his previous life, but there are still many wonderful things. Even though Song You has been in the Taoist temple for the first half of his life, he has already seen part of it, but he feels that there should be more than that, so he wants to meet more and more. Wonderful scenery, more mysterious and interesting things.

This time I set out again, it is undoubtedly much more comfortable than before. First, I have the company of Sanhua Empress, second, I am well prepared, and third, I have an extra horse. At least I don’t have to carry my luggage anymore. Feel every step you take.

In the afternoon, I went to Jinyang Road again.

There are ancient trees on the ancient road, which provide shade from the sun and rain.

It just so happens that the weather is good today. Walking in such a tree-lined path, the sun is faint and speckled. Walking slowly through it, stepping on the bluestone slab, the eyes are bright and dark, sometimes covered by shadows and then sunny again. When you hit the body, you can feel the horseshoes next to your ears, and you are calm in your heart. You don't have to worry about thousands of miles, and you are not afraid of the wind and rain, and the feeling is also very beautiful.

Not far away, I saw a tea stall again, and there were not many people there.

Although this road is also Jinyang Road, after passing through Yidu, it is no longer the same section as before, and this tea stall is also a tea stall that I have never seen before.

Just a little tired.

Song You led the horse over and stopped in front of the tea stand.

"I want a bowl of tea."

One more sentence at the end:

"Good tea."

The owner of the tea stand was a hunchbacked old man, who looked very kind, and immediately came over to entertain him: "Sir, do you want some food besides tea? The horse fodder stall also provides it, and the price is cheap."

"No need."

Song You brought steamed cakes and steamed buns when he went out, and all he needed was a bowl of hot tea to melt them into.

And this horse seems to be carrying a lot of things, but in fact it is not heavy. It is not heavy work to walk all the way. Instead, it walks slowly.

"Ouch!"

When the old man wanted to tie Song You's horse, he realized that the little gentleman's horse didn't have a leash.

"Sir, your horse..."

"Horses are smart and don't need a rein."

"Aren't you afraid of losing?"

"Not afraid."

The old stall owner was very surprised, but also went to make tea.

A cooking pot, pour a bowl full.

People from the rivers and lakes and businessmen around him also cast their eyes on Song You frequently. This was just a slightly strange thing, and when paired with Song You's Taoist robe, it seemed to have a little more mysterious meaning immediately. Even the unruly Jianghu people He also restrained his contemptuous gaze.

But seeing Song You break open the steamed buns, feed the cat with the meat stuffing, and eat the bread by himself, he couldn't help but a little more amazed and whispered.

One person and one cat don't care about them.

The horse also just stood silently in front of the booth, without a leash, and did not run around. When he saw the tender grass sprouts that he liked next to him, he only took a step or two, lowered his head and gnawed slowly, and did not go far.

During the period, people kept checking out and leaving.

Whenever there are people coming from the left and going to the right, the old stall owner will come forward and ask them where they are going, and ask someone to help carry the letter.

But I asked a lot of people, but they didn't gain much.

These days, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and letters are difficult to deliver. If you leave the Guanma Avenue, there are ghosts and bandits on the road, so it is even more difficult to deliver letters.

Besides the government officials, most of the people on Jinyang Road are merchants and people from the rivers and lakes. Merchants are either trustworthy or profit-oriented. Those who value trust are afraid that they will not be able to bring them back, so they dare not agree easily.

"..."

Song You lifted the bowl high and drank the last sip of tea.

He even picked up the bowl and stopped for a while, waiting for the tea soup hanging on the wall of the bowl to flow down.

He figured it out, the more expensive the tea on the Guanma Avenue, the more ingredients, the more savory, and the taste is rich, with salt and sugar, and plums are added. With a big bowl full and two steamed buns added, he already felt his stomach was full.

"Bill, please."

"Ten coins."

Catch up with a bowl of wontons.

It's normal, a cup of milk tea in the previous life was more expensive than a bowl of wontons.

The old man hunched over, watched Song You counting the copper coins, and smiled while watching: "Dare to ask Mr. Xiao, where are you going?"

"To the east."

"Do you want to pass through Xuzhoulong County?"

"..."

Song You counted the ten copper coins, but did not answer for a while, but asked the stall owner with a smile:

"My husband wants to bring a letter?"

In fact, he had only heard of Xuzhou, which was on the east side of Yizhou, and he had to pass through Xuzhou to the east, but he had never heard of Long County.

"Exactly! If Mr. Xiao is going to Long County, if you drop by the way, the little old man wants to ask Mr. Xiao to bring me a letter!" After the old stall owner finished speaking, he said quickly, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will never let you Little Mister white belt!"

"A letter of what?"

"Xiao Mister is really going to Long County?"

"I'm a loafer in the mountains, traveling the world, and I don't know where to go. I only know that I want to go east and pass through Xuzhou. If the old man is in a hurry, it's okay to go to Long County."

"Little old man does not lie to Mr. Xiao. His family was poor in his early years. My son followed his second uncle to Xuzhou Long County to do business, and then stayed in Xuzhou. It has been two years since I came back last time. A few days ago, my old lady missed her son. Someone took it there so that I could teach him to come back and have a look..."

"I see."

Shanshui can isolate sound and communication, but it shouldn't isolate the relationship between mother and child.

Song You hardly thought about it, and smiled lightly: "Then I will use the matter of carrying the letter for the old man to see the landscape of Long County."

"Thank you little sir!"

The old man was immediately grateful and bowed deeply.

How could Song You dare to bear it, so he had to hold him up quickly: "I can't bear such a big gift. I will travel all over the world in the future. My husband showed me the way. Speaking of which, I should thank him."
