"Taoist priest, you got up very late today."

"It's hard to feel at ease."

"It's rare to feel at ease~"

"Students are fine."

"Learning to be a good person~" Sanhuamao said again, and then said, "Do you want to wipe your face? Mistress Sanhua wants to bring you water, but there is no water at home. You have to spend money to buy it or go to the well over there."

"Don't worry."

"Then do you want to eat? Mistress Sanhua is going to buy you steamed buns."

"Not in a hurry."

"Not in a hurry~"

"Then ask Empress Sanhua to transform into a human form."

"Take human form..."

While repeating, the cat looked at him suspiciously, then jumped off the table and landed on the ground as a girl.

"Please take off your shoes and come over here."

"Well!"

Mistress Sanhua looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately saw the wooden wall that separated her from her neighbors. On the wall, there were hooks for hanging paintings and traces carved by Taoists.

The little girl immediately understood, and immediately flicked her feet to let the shoes run away automatically, then stepped on the cold wooden board with bare feet, walked over and stood with her back to the wall.

In an instant, I tried to straighten my back and hold my head high, as if trying to lengthen my body.

At the same time, a pair of eyes quietly aimed at the Taoist.

"Miss Sanhua, don't tiptoe."

"Mistress Sanhua didn't tiptoe."

"Mistress Sanhua lied."

"No..." The little girl bent down and looked down, "It stood on tiptoe by itself."

"Put it down."

"It doesn't listen to Empress Sanhua."

"..."

"Hey, it put itself down again!!"

"Maybe it heard what we said."

While speaking, the Taoist slightly bent his legs so as to maintain a similar height with her, and looked straight from the top of her head - although it was a very simple matter, he was still serious and solemn.

The scale from three years ago was no longer visible, blocked by the head of Empress Sanhua.

"You compare well!"

"It is as much as it is."

"It's a good comparison!"

"..."

The Taoist stretched out his hand and moved over her head. He moved cautiously, and with a slight swipe on the wall, there was a trace.

"alright."

"!"

The little girl immediately took two steps forward with her bare feet, then turned to look.

There are two traces on the wall, one high and one low.

Song You stretched out his hand and gestured.

The tall ones are a full calorie taller than the short ones.

The little girl followed suit when she saw him. She imitated him and spread her five fingers and put her thumb on the lower scale. She also wanted to imitate the Taoist priest and put her middle finger on the upper scale.

This troubled her a little.

"In three years, Empress Sanhua has grown so much taller."

"so much!"

"Yes."

"A lot?"

The little girl stared at him with curious eyes.

"There are too many cats that have grown up." The Taoist replied truthfully.

"Where are people?"

"Among those who have grown up, there are too many." The Taoist replied truthfully.

"What about the ones who haven't grown up?"

"It doesn't count."

"Is that little?"

"..."

The Taoist didn't answer, just touched her forehead with a smile, and said to her: "It's a wonderful thing for Empress Sanhua to grow up without knowing something..."

"How wonderful?"

"No matter how fast you grow, you will feel slow before you grow up. No matter how slow you grow, you will feel fast after you grow up." The Taoist said to her, "Besides, Empress Sanhua has a long lifespan, so there is no need to worry about it at all."

"..."

The little girl also raised her head high and stared at him with blinking eyes.

How can a child understand this truth?

It's just that when the Taoist told her, she was willing to listen. If the Taoist said there was no need to worry, she was willing to believe it.

"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"First go to the well to fetch water and wash, and then go to have breakfast. After breakfast, go to the housekeeping business. They have reserved a house for us, and we have to express our gratitude to him. Then send the horse out of the city. The houses in this city are too small for it to live in."

The little girl followed closely beside him downstairs.

Transforming into a human form, but not changing the nature of a cat, not walking in front of him, not walking behind him, knowing that the stairs are narrow, but still wanting to squeeze beside him, squeezed and asked:

"But why did Empress Sanhua grow up so slowly?"

"The growth of a monster after transforming into form is related to the character of the heart. Empress Sanhua grows slowly, which means..."

"a little!"

"Empress Sanhua has always been happy."

"very happy……"

The little girl thought seriously before looking up at him:

"Yes!"

Open the door with a bucket, and in the morning of Changjing, the outside is already bustling and bustling, full of human fireworks.

The neighbors outside, the merchants who opened shops, and the hawkers who set up stalls at the door could not help but feel surprised when they saw the figure of the Taoist priest and the girl appearing at the door.

"Mister is back?"

"When did sir come back?"

"This girl is beautiful!"

Song You nodded and responded to them.

I wanted to go out to fetch water, but seeing that there were so many people on the street, it was really inconvenient to carry water for sale, and they yelled along the street, probably earning coolie money, so the Taoist bought two barrels with money.

Selling water is very common these days. Even if Dayan’s well drilling has spread to the streets, the common people can still drink well water. However, there is only one well in a certain area. It is common for people in the city to buy firewood and water, and sometimes even account for the bulk of their living expenses. Using salary money to refer to living expenses and even labor remuneration probably started in this way.

With water, wash your face, then go out to eat.

There is a small shop opposite, and there is a small stall.

The store owner still remembered Song You, and greeted Song You as soon as they met: "Oh, Mr., it seems that I haven't seen you for a long time. Is this a long trip?"

"Going a long way."

"There must be... half a year or more?"

Song You knows that the repetitive work day after day often affects the thickness of time, making people feel that it has not been too long, but it has been a long time, so he sat down and answered:

"It will take longer."

"It's been so long!" the shopkeeper patted his head and didn't care. "What do you want to eat? There are steamed buns, steamed buns and porridge, there are many, and the preserved egg and lean pork porridge, which is very popular in Changjing recently, is very fresh. The meat used in the shop is the most solid, and it is also the thickest. A bowl only costs six yuan. Would you like a bowl?"

"Have two bowls."

"okay……"

As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, he scooped porridge from the pot.

It's not too thin or too thick. The big iron spoon and bucket bowl scoop it up high and then drop it back into the bowl. The brown and dark green of the preserved egg, combined with the pink of the minced meat, looks very attractive.

One spoonful is one bowl, obviously one spoonful can fit a bucket of bowls, but it is a little bit off, then use the second spoonful, aim at the colored part of the porridge and tick it a bit, add it to the bowl, it will give people a very different feeling.

It is the little thought of ordinary people.

Then sprinkle a few chopped green onions as a garnish.

The shopkeeper said to the Taoist while serving it: "I don't know where the practice came from. Now Changjing has a lot of people who buy preserved eggs and wrapped eggs. The porridge and soup are very fresh. You must have never tasted it..."

Two bowls of porridge were brought to the Taoist at the same time.

The little girl was not very satisfied with what the shopkeeper said that she hadn't tasted it, but she didn't want to refute it, so she just turned her head and stared at the shopkeeper.

"This girl..."

"My child."

"It's really beautiful, she looks like the golden boy and jade girl beside the gods."

"That's what everyone says."

The Taoist has already picked up the chopsticks.

The little girl followed suit, but couldn't help frowning.

Living in the city is expensive--

It is very easy for a Taoist priest to feed himself, especially in the wild, where there are rabbits, catch him a rabbit or two fish, and he can feed him. Even if there are no rabbits or streams, you only need to cut some special grass like feeding horses, pick some mushrooms and fruits that will not die for him in summer, and you can also feed Taoist priests. But this Taoist priest has a problem, he always likes to go to the city.

Everything in town costs money.

Even the water costs money...

It is obvious that Empress Sanhua has a knife to divide the water. As long as there is no water in the world, as long as there is no spirit or spirit, she will listen to Empress Sanhua.

What a hassle.

Empress Sanhua sighed, and turned around to call the swallow upstairs to come over quietly, while she carefully picked out the minced meat from the porridge.

"Swallow, swallow, is it delicious?"

"chirp~"

"Actually, the rat meat is chopped up, and it's similar to this."

"..."

"..."

One person, one swallow, fell silent for a moment.

Empress Sanhua didn't realize it, and continued picking the meat.

She was just feeding, but she turned her head and looked across the street.

Song You followed her gaze and stopped his chopsticks.

I saw a woman wrapped in thick gray and black clothes coming from the opposite side of the street. There was a hidden weapon hidden under the clothes. When she reached the door of her own room, she found that the door next door had been opened.

The already messy hair suddenly became more messy.

Immediately, as if aware of it, he turned around abruptly, and met the eyes of the two people sitting in front of the breakfast booth.

"..."

The woman turned her head to look at the door, and then at the two of them. She was stunned for a while, and then she walked over.

"Shopkeeper, please have another bowl of porridge." Song You shouted, "Forget it, two more bowls, plus two boiled eggs and two big meat buns."

"okay!"

"Plop flop..."

The swallow left immediately.

At the same time, the woman in gray and black clothes dragged a low bench over and made a noise on the ground. She turned her head and glanced at the frightened swallow, and then met the eyes of two people, one big and one small.

Empress Sanhua frowned, stared at her, and said first:

"Long time no see, Heroine!"

"Long time no see." The Taoist also lowered his head and said, "I thought the heroine had already left Beijing and would not be coming back."

"When did you come back?"

"last night."

"Just last night?"

"Just last night."

"What a coincidence..."

"yes."

When old friends meet, they feel a little emotional.
