Chapter 40(1/2)
I want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you
The father-in-law exempted Song You from paying for tea, and also gave Song You a hundred cash for carrying the letter, saying that after delivering it, his son would give him another two hundred cash.
A total of three hundred coins can be obtained.
The letter is usually delivered in two installments.
As for the letter, it was rolled up and put into a small bamboo tube. Song You casually inserted it into the quilt bag. He also agreed with his father-in-law that he would travel slowly by himself, so don't think he gave it to you.
Late.
So Song You led the horse and set off again.
When I turned around and looked back, I saw the old man nodding and bowing his head to ask a group of people in the world, as if he hadn't finished delivering the letter yet.
This is normal.
These days, when you ask someone to bring a letter, you will definitely not bring only one. If it is an important letter, you are afraid that it will not be delivered or will be delivered late, so it is normal to bring several letters.
"Longjun of Xuzhou, north of Lingbo County, Ganzao Lane, Chenhan..."
Song You muttered.
"Empress Sanhua is looking at the sky."
"Then how long have you been studying before?"
He didn't turn around until dark.
The calico cat didn't quite understand this. He just thought it was nice to walk down there. There were trees to climb, bugs to catch, and many bird's nests on the trees. Not to mention it took a lot of effort to get up this mountain.
It's a lot brighter up there than halfway up the mountain, and there's not that much fun. There's also grass taller than her, making it difficult to walk.
Master once said that beneath his gentle and indifferent appearance, he hid his arrogance towards the whole world.
The girl squatted beside the firewood pile, very close to it.
"You can see it from here."
The bay-red horse still followed silently behind him.
"Maybe."
"What about a place without people?"
"You see, it's so difficult to send a letter."
"Ahem!
"call……"
So we walked across mountains and rivers again, starting at sunrise and stopping at sunset. Occasionally, the mood struck, and we traveled all day and night. If I felt lazy one day, I would find a comfortable place to lie down and take a nap in the sun.
.
The gray smoke was mixed with many sparks.
Sanhua Empress told the truth this time:
"There are many reasons."
She couldn't help but want to reach out and catch it.
The most comfortable thing is to warm yourself over the fire.
There’s no need to remember it, it’s already written on the bamboo tube.
"Huh...huh...
Song You lay down and looked at the stars, but there was no arrogance on his face, only the same indifference as before.
"Two days."
"It's also because this world is unfamiliar and ignorant. When I first came here, I had no friends and the world was ignorant. Even scholars and sages are trapped in this era. Most people either like to trample on others or are used to it.
Being trampled on, or both, and a lot of the time I actually don’t want to talk to them at all.”
After a while, he turned around in disappointment.
"Why?"
"Canopy!"
If you think about it carefully, today is already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Based on previous years, I am afraid that the Taoist priests from Fuqing Palace are already on their way to Fulong Temple. If they leave early, Master may have seen his letter.
"Taoist priest, you are not happy."
"Well?"
I saw green mountains in the distance like black, the ridge is flat, and there is a clear blue and white line where it meets the clouds. On this gentle curve of the ridge, you can see a man and a horse walking slowly from a distance. From this angle, you can see this
The man and the horse seemed to be walking in the sky, not knowing where they came from or where they were going. For a moment, it seemed that there was only this man and the horse between the heaven and the earth.
The official road is on the mountainside below.
The sound of wind and whispers are all soothing.
"It's not dark at night! You can still catch mice and play!"
Fortunately, Chen Han at least lives in the county town.
The Sanhua Empress was lying together with her beloved horse.
At this time, I heard the Taoist priest's voice again:
"Sanhua Empress."
The calico cat that ran ahead stopped and turned back to wait for him.
"call!"
A cluster of bright yellow flames spit out from her mouth.
"Can't burn..."
"Why?"
Song You whispered to her, but paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled again, and continued: "But it's only a little bit close. If you try harder in the next bite, you will definitely make it."
The stars in the sky couldn't fit in my eyes. The bonfire around me continued to burn with crackling sounds. Not far away, a bay-red horse lay down and gnawed grass. The chewing sound actually sounded very comfortable.
And then you have to bother climbing down.
"How long have you been studying Taoism before?"
"Because this world is backward and primitive. There are no brightly lit cities, no convenient transportation, and no wonderful Internet. It is impossible to know the world without leaving home. You cannot taste the delicacies of most regions in one city, and there are many meals.
It’s not delicious. The city stinks during the day, with feces everywhere, and most pedestrians’ clothes are dirty and tattered. At night, if you don’t have money to light candles, it’s pitch black. Even if you light candles, you can only walk in the dark.
A large dim light shines in it, and the world is the same. It's pitch black and dark. Apart from the magic of gods and ghosts and the natural scenery, I don't know what's so wonderful about it."
"You almost did it..."
There is no map navigation these days. If the address for sending a letter is relatively remote, from one state to one county, then to another county, and the direction cannot be determined when reaching the county, the messenger has to patiently ask, and after finding out a direction, he has to navigate through the complicated
Looking for it on the small road, I don’t know how much effort, how much time, and how many wrong paths it will take along the way.
"..."
"The sky is full of stars."
"Maybe there is."
"Miss Sanhua, please look to the sky."
There is no other way.
If you climb up to see the stars, although it is hard work and you can't climb trees to catch birds, it seems possible.
It was only the beginning of spring, and the weather was still cold, but she already had no worries about food. Catching insects on the roadside, catching birds during the day, and catching mice at night were all her daily routine. If it hadn't been for the wrong season, she felt that she could have caught Song Song along the way.
Food for the tour is also taken care of.
The girl raised her head and glanced at him, convinced that she believed what he said, so she felt reassured and took a deep breath, even her chest swelled up.
Song You answered and stretched out his hand.
Since it was destined to be difficult to go back in this life, he tried hard to integrate here, to open his heart to accept the world, to open his eyes to see and appreciate the other unique beauties of this world.
It was Song You who climbed up on the spur of the moment. He couldn't find the way at first and spent a lot of effort.
The girl ignored him and concentrated on blowing smoke.
It's just that there are still hundreds of miles to go to Xuzhou. According to what my father-in-law told me, this county, Lingbo County, is also very remote in Xuzhou and the roads are difficult to travel. No wonder so many merchants and people from the world don't go or pick them up.
And she really stretched out her hand, waving it in the air in front of her eyes, waving it.
Song You only smiled when he heard this.
I just think the stars are so beautiful and sparkling.
"That's what we came up for."
The calico cat was the most lively, always swaying back and forth between one person and one horse. When walking through the woods, it became a human, and when walking by the river, it became a cat. When it lay down with Song You for a lunch break, it was a cat, and when it sat on the back of the horse, it became a cat.
To be continued...
