Yun Rong sat on a branch of a tree, squinting at the increasingly dusky horizon, and yawned lazily. The sun was setting, and the light was fading.
It is said that cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter hides.
But in Xiaozhoushan, there are no four seasons of farming and harvesting. This place has lots of sunshine and rain, and it belongs to Penglai.
Although it is said to be an ordinary mountain, it is different from the human world.
It was spring at that time, and the rice in the fields had matured in large areas. The breeze was blowing in the mountains, and the golden waves were rolling. The ears of wheat were swaying like golden waves, one after another.
The daylight is gradually disappearing, and the golden wheat gradually becomes bleak and dim in the dusk. The wind blows and chills, adding to the sadness.
Yun Rong untied the Xue Xue Sword and placed it between his legs. He leaned against the big tree with his back and rested his head on his arms, yawning continuously.
At this time, a stone hit the big tree behind her. Yun Rong lowered his gaze and saw a wild child with rough and dark skin holding a pile of stones in his arms and throwing them at her.
There were still two unwiped green snot hanging under his nose. He looked at Yun Rong with contempt, but his eyes kept stealing glances at the jujubes on the tree: "My father said you are a lazy woman who doesn't like to do farm work. , you hide in the tree and sleep every day, you know that all the dates on the date tree will be eaten by you alone?"
Yun Rong blinked and asked with a smile: "Does this jujube tree belong to your family?"
The naughty kid was startled and said, "No."
Yun Rong said: "Since it's not from your family, what does it have to do with you if I eat it all?"
The child's face turned red from suppressing it, and he raised his head high: "I won't allow you to eat! All eight-year-old children in the village know that they have to work to have food. You are such a grown-up, why are you still so lazy?"
Yun Rong put her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "I'm not lazy. Climbing trees is very tiring." As she said that, she glanced at the child and saw his purpose: "What? You want me to teach you to climb?" Tree?"
The child's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the stone in his arms. The arrogance and unruliness on his face disappeared, and he was actually a bit shy and expectant: "Is that okay?"
Yun Rong said confidently: "Of course not. If I teach you how to climb trees, I will pick all the dates here for you. What will I fill my stomach with in the future?"
The child burst into tears and was so bullied by her that she shook her nose and ran back home.
Yun Rong smiled and shook her head. She stretched out her hand to pick a date. Although she was hungry, she was still injured after eating the dates for four days. She thought about picking up some dates from the wild monkeys in the forest at the entrance of the next village. Change your hands to some banana fruit or something.
It just occurred to me that her temperament was very different from that of her junior brother. She had been disliked by small animals since she was a child, not to mention those monkeys and orangutans. Even the most common cats and dogs were unwilling to get close to her.
She is good at dealing with swords, but she is not good at dealing with these living creatures.
Yun Rong sighed at the setting sun, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
The dusk on the horizon dyed the entire sky red, and the entire western sky was burned red by the setting sun.
At sunset, the lotuses return from the hoeing, the smoke rises from the yellow beams, the fields gather at dusk, and the shepherd boys riding the bulls return playing their flutes. The low and bleating sounds form an extraordinarily peaceful and far-reaching rhythm in this mountainous countryside.
Thousands of lights were lit in the low-lying villages located in different places. It was difficult to see farmers on the field roads due to the deepening darkness.
The lantern at the door of someone's house was overturned and rolled up, and a few dogs barked from time to time in the sandy alley.
The mortals here live next to the fairy mountains. They only know that the land and water here are fertile and the seasons are good. However, they don't know that there are real immortals living in the old mountains outside Xiaozhoushan.
There is no immortality in this paradise.
The autumn water has the same color as the sky.
The late night was extremely quiet, and there was no sound of cicadas chirping at night. Mountain peaks stacked up in the distance, and the long howling of wolves could be heard from time to time.
Rustling, rustling...
Yun Rong's ears suddenly twitched.
She heard a slight sound suddenly coming from under the jujube tree. It was very light, like the sound of jujubes hitting the fluffy soil.
Then there was a crackling sound of building firewood.
Click...
The firewood was lit, and the crackling sound of burning wood disturbed the peace of the night.
Not long after, the faint aroma of meat floated in the air.
Yun Rong opened his eyes in surprise, feeling a little strange in his heart. He leaned over and took a clear look at the surprising scene under the tree. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, full of wonder.
Is it not surprising?
Under the tree, a fire was being set up, and strings of crucian carp and river shrimp were tied up with wooden branches and grilled there. It was actually a... cat?
Yun Rong looked left and right, and after confirming that he was in Xiaozhoushan and not Fengzhi Island, the surprise in his eyes deepened.
Is this a little guy who ran away from some nook and cranny at the foot of a mountain? He was so excited in the middle of the night that he was actually grilling fish and shrimps in this remote place in the countryside?
Yun Rong changed his position and lay down on the jujube tree, looking at the little white cat. There was a circle of smoky gray hairs on the round and fat head. It was as cute as Feng Zhishan. That demon king, the little Diaoer, has a good chance.
Several grilled fish in the bonfire were browned and crispy, and the cat hooked its paws and went to catch the grilled fish in the fire pit.
Unexpectedly, a gust of evil wind blew from the south, blowing the bonfire that was burning sideways, and the hair on the cat's outstretched paw was instantly burnt to a bald black patch.
"Meow——————" The claws that were stretched out were quickly retracted, and the cat meowed fiercely.
Yun Rong was unkindly amused and laughed out loud, "I said you cats should eat small fish and shrimps raw, shouldn't you? You can light a fire here and roast them in the wild at night, and I won't be afraid of killing you." This hair is on fire."
Seeing that the fish and shrimp were about to be burnt, the stupid cat was still squatting there and watching helplessly, looking pitiful.
No matter how hard-hearted Yun Rong was, she couldn't stand it anymore. She jumped down from the jujube tree, stretched out her long white palms, took out two skewers of fish and shrimp from the bonfire, and handed them to the cat.
The white cat was not afraid of food either. He sniffed it, grabbed one of the fish and shrimps in one mouthful, and then pushed the other grilled fish to Yun Rong with his paws.
Yun Rong raised his eyebrows lightly.
Oh, what a generous cat.
Yun Rong, who had never known politeness, did not refuse. He found a clean place to sit down and patiently peeled off shrimp shells and fish bones.
I thought that a cat's craftsmanship could be so good, but I didn't know that the shrimp meat was tender and the fish skin was crispy. When I sucked it into my mouth, it left a fragrant aroma on my teeth and cheeks. It was extremely delicious.
Yun Rong enjoyed the cat's rations without any worries. How could a bunch of fish and shrimp fill her stomach? She plunged the empty skewers in her hand into the soil, and then looked at the small skewers that were roasted in the campfire. Son.
At this time, the evil wind had stopped, and the cat was no longer afraid of being burned by the fire. He held out fish and shrimp skewers with his two paws, shaking his beard and blowing the hot air.
Smelling the aroma of food in the air, Yun Rong couldn't help but lick her lips, but in the end she couldn't bear to beg for food from a cat.
She is an adult and a well-known figure in the world. There is no limit to her competing with a child to eat dates in this small mountain village. An ordinary person would not be able to do such a thing.
But Yun Rong is not an ordinary person. It is her own ability to compete with children for food. She does not blush.
But it's really shameful to worry about even a cat's dried fish.
Unexpectedly, the cat was more generous than she imagined. After cooling the small fish and shrimps, it even very carefully shaved off the fish bones with its small fangs, peeled off the shrimp shells, and then lifted its tail. , bringing a large handful of dried fish and dried shrimps in his claws to her.
Yun Rong was surprised: "For me?"
The white cat shook his beard and looked at his little face, which actually seemed to be smiling. That small nose and small mouth didn't have the serious and angry look of a normal cat with a naturally droopy mouth.
Normally, Yun Rong would never believe that a cat could smile so brightly.
Yun Rong sat on the ground with her hands and knees folded. She was a little unsure for a moment that all the food was for her, and she was too embarrassed to reach out to get it. She tentatively reached in and took out a small dried fish from its claws.
Yeah, it tastes good, and it's roasted to the right temperature.
The kitten didn't show any sign of being unhappy, and it didn't retract its paws. Its tail was swaying behind it, and it looked like it was in a good mood.
After Yun Rong was relieved and finished one small dried fish, he also ate two river shrimps.
Then there was another small dried fish and two river shrimps.
The fish and shrimp on the skewer were gradually empty. Yun Rong took the last small dried fish on the skewer and suddenly paused when he poked his head out.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the round-faced kitten in front of her. She realized that she had unknowingly put her hands on the ground and stretched her head out, which finally made her feel something was wrong.
Are you being eaten by a cat? !
Is this decent?
Yun Rong slowly frowned, sat up straight, and thought about it carefully. The face of Tianxi Sijian must not be lost, and he still has to be assertive when it is time to act.
She coughed lightly and said, "They say cats' tongues are afraid of getting hot. I was just trying the temperature of the food for you. Well, it's not hot anymore. You can eat it."
When testing food temperature, you can test until only a small dried fish is left.
Yun Rong saw the kitten's snow-white belly bulging, obviously suppressing a smile.
"If you dare to laugh out loud, I will pluck out your mustache one by one." Yun Rong smiled slightly and raised the corners of his mouth.
The kitten shook off the empty skewers on its paws, put the last skewer of dried fish into Yun Rong's hand, then stepped back a few steps, covering its abdomen with one paw, and patting the ground with the other, making a He looked like he was laughing, but he listened to Yun Rong's words and didn't laugh out loud.
Yun Rong: "..."
In the days that followed Xiaozhoushan Si, Yun Rong had a kitten by his side.
Yun Rong was not completely idle in Xiaozhoushan. Since Sword Master Yu ordered her to work hard again, she would often do what a mortal should do like a mortal in the mountain.
In the early morning, if Yun Rong was cutting grain in the rice field, the kitten would be waiting for her in the field with wild fruits in its mouth that stimulate fluid and quench thirst.
In Xiaozhoushan, ordinary old people often suffer from illnesses. Yun Rong has the ability to recognize medicine. If she goes deep into the mountains and fields to collect herbs, cats will follow her step by step.
In the evening, Yun Rong returned to the village in an ox cart driven by someone from the same village. One person and one cat lay on the hay pile in the cart, counting the few stars in the sky.
The moon cages people's houses, and the stars and fields enter the painting.
Listening to the gentle snoring of the sleeping kitten beside him, Yun Rong couldn't help but look sideways at the kitten curled up in a ball.
After hundreds of years of living, this was the first time she encountered a small animal that loved to cling to her.
She is born with difficulty in empathizing with others, she has no spirit in her heart, everything is like a passing cloud, and she is fearless. Even her fellow disciples, few are close and friendly with her.
Even the second senior sister Yue Nu, who has the kindest, gentlest and most tolerant temperament among the Thirteen Swordsmen, would find it difficult to talk to her at the same time.
This cat was a strange one. It could have been a hungry stray cat who was fed a mouthful of hot food and followed her out of gratitude.
But this is a cat that can be self-reliant and even support a family. With its good ability to fish and catch shrimps, even if it begets a little female cat and gives birth to a litter of kittens, it is determined not to starve its wife and children. s cat.
On the contrary, she lived in a jujube tree and was fed by it. Why did she end up relying on this cat? He caught crabs and puffer fish and cooked them for her to eat three meals a day and night.
It's even more amazing these days. The little thing who is just a little bit bigger has actually learned to pick mushrooms and hunt hares, as if he is afraid of starving her, he will change his tricks to get her delicious food.
Sword Master Yu exiled her to Xiaozhou Mountain with the original intention of letting her suffer the bitter cold and hunger of mortals. However, less than a month after entering the mountain, Yun Rong Shengsheng fed the little one and made her become more energetic and energetic.
Back in the village, Yun Rong sat on a bullock cart and distributed the collected herbs one by one, delivering them from door to door.
Among the hundreds of immortal sects, although Yun Rong is not the best in medicine, for ordinary people, he can be regarded as an expert in medicine.
"Miss Yun, if you hadn't gone to the mountain every day to collect medicines and send them to me, I really don't know what to do with my sick leg. You are such a good person." A village woman answered with tears in her eyes. Guo Yunrong sent her herbal medicine package, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Although Xiaozhoushan is a place with outstanding people, it is located outside the Central Capital of the Four Seas. The medical conditions here are limited, and sometimes a minor illness can kill a child.
The woman was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, holding Yun Rong's hand and thanking her endlessly.
At this time, several meows came from the corner of the wall, and an orange kitten stretched out its four long soft legs and stepped out of the shadows on cat steps.
Those few meows were extremely charming, and her entangled little eyes were like little hooks. She looked at the white cat nestled on Yun Rong's shoulder from a distance, and her little body instantly became as soft as water.
Yun Rong: "???"
The aunt at the head of the village: "..."
Amidst a burst of soft, charming and wavy meows, the woman could only smile twice at Yun Rong and said: "This is my family's cat, named Cuihua. Isn't it spring? The cat in our village Kittens and puppies are inevitably in heat and restlessness. Our Cuihua family has a good figure and is well-organized. But she is one of the most beautiful girls in Rongjia Village. On weekdays, many little male cats climb over the wall to look for them. I drove them back one by one with a broom."
While talking, the woman secretly glanced at the white cat on Yun Rong's shoulder.
I'm a good boy, her man left early, these days, even looking at a cat feels pretty.
This girl Yun looks like a wonderful person, and the cats she raises are so smart and handsome.
Yun Rongben listened to the woman's nagging words word for word. When he heard the word beauty, he couldn't help but glance at the little female cat. It was a very common orange cat in the village, with a soft and graceful figure. It can be called the 'beauty' among cats.
But what's the deal with this woman's pimp tone.
The woman was also thoughtful. She saw that Yun Rong's demeanor and charm were hard to find in the world, and she could tell at a glance that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
It's a pity that she has no children, so she can't get married to such a fairy, but she has Cuihua as her heart.
If the precious cat that the daughter has raised all day long can pair up with the cat raised by Miss Yun, it will be considered a good story in their Rongjia Village, right?
The woman smiled and asked, "I wonder what Miss Yun's cat is called?"
Yun Rong was too embarrassed to say that she was picked up by this cat, so she had to put on airs and let these mortals know that it was she who was raising the cat, not the cat who was raising her, so she casually gave her a name: "Peach Blossom." "
The kitten named Peach Blossom: "..."
The woman clapped her hands and said with joy: "Peach blossoms are good, peach blossoms are good, they match my green flowers very well~~"
Yun Rong looked sideways at the kitten and asked, "How about I get you a wife? That little female cat looks good."
