long night walk

Chapter 709 Cuihua, Peach Blossom
Yun Rong sat on the branch of a tree, squinted her eyes and looked at the gradually yellowing sky, and yawned lazily.

The sun was sinking and the sky was fading.

It is said that cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter hides.

But in Xiaozhou Mountain, there are no four seasons for farming and harvesting.

There are many suns and rains here, and it belongs to Penglai.

Although it is called Fanshan, it is different from the human world.

At that time, it was spring, and the rice in the fields had matured in large areas, and the breeze was blowing the mountains.

The golden waves are surging, and the Qiqi ears of wheat are swaying, like golden waves, one after another.

As the sky fades away, the golden wheat gradually becomes bleak and dim in the dusk, and the wind blows and chills add to the sorrow.

Yun Rong untied the Xuexue Sword, placed it between her legs, leaned against the big tree with her head resting on her arms, and yawned profusely.

At this time, a stone hit the big tree behind her.

Yun Rongyan looked down, watching a wild child with rough and dark skin holding a pile of stones in his arms and throwing them towards her.

There were still two dirty snots hanging under his nose, and he looked at Yun Rong with contempt.

His eyes kept sneaking glances at the jujubes on the tree.

"My father said that you are a lazy woman who doesn't like to do farm work. You hide in the tree and sleep on it every day. You will eat all the dates on this date tree by yourself, you understand?"

Yun Rong blinked her eyes and asked with a smile, "This jujube tree belongs to your family?"

The bear 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 and he raised his head high: "I won't allow you to eat it! All eight-year-old children in the village know that they have to work to get something to eat. Why are you so lazy when you're such a big man?"

Yunrong put her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "I'm not lazy, climbing trees is very tiring."

As she spoke, she glanced at the child and saw his intention: "What? Do you want me to teach you how to climb trees?"

The child's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the stone in his arms. The arrogance and arrogance on his face disappeared, and he was a bit shy and expectant: "Is it okay?"

Yun Rong said confidently: "Of course not. If I teach you how to climb trees, you can pick all the jujubes here. What can I eat in the future?"

The child burst into tears and was bullied so badly by her that he ran back home, shaking his nose.

Yun Rong smiled and shook her head, reaching out to pick a date.

Although I was hungry, I was hurt after eating jujubes for four days.

She thought about whether to exchange some bananas or something from the wild monkeys in the woods at the entrance of the next village.

It's just that when she thinks that her temperament is very different from her junior brother, she has never been liked by small animals since she was a child.

Not to mention those monkeys or orangutans, even the most common cats and dogs are 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 her eyes and began to take a light sleep.

The dusk on the horizon dyed the entire sky red, and the entire western sky was burned red by the setting sun.

In the sunset, the lotus hoes return, the smoke rises from the yellow beams, and the fields gather together in the evening. The shepherd boy who herds sheep returns home riding a cow and playing the flute.

In the low villages located in different places, thousands of lights were lit, and it was difficult to see farmers on the field roads because of the darkening night.

The lantern at the door of someone's house was overturned, and dogs barked from time to time in the sandy alley.

The mortals here live next to the fairy mountain, they only know that the land is fertile and the land spirit is good all year round, but they don't know that there are real immortals living in the several old mountains outside Xiaozhou mountain.

I don't know immortals in Xanadu.

The autumn water is the same color as the sky.

The deep night is extremely quiet, there is no sound of cicadas singing at night, mountains are piled up in the distance, and the long howling of wolves can be heard from time to time.

rustling...

Yunrong's ears suddenly moved slightly.

She heard a small sound suddenly coming from under the jujube tree, very soft, like the sound of a jujube smashing into the fluffy soil.

Then there was the crackling of firewood being built.

click...

The firewood was lit, and the sound of crackling firewood being burned disturbed the calm of the night.

Not long after, the faint smell of meat wafted in the air.

Yun Rong opened her eyes in amazement, feeling a little strange in her heart, leaning over to see clearly the astonishing scene under the tree, her eyes widened involuntarily, full of wonder.

Isn't it surprising?

Under the tree, a fire was being set up, and a bunch of crucian carp and river shrimp were tied up with wooden branches and roasted there. It was actually a... cat?

Yun Rong looked left and right, and after confirming that he was in Xiaozhou Mountain instead of Fengzhi Island, the color of surprise in his eyes deepened.

This is a fine little guy who ran out from the corner of the mountain. He was so excited in the middle of the night. He actually grilled fish and shrimp in this remote place?

Yun Rong changed her posture and lay down on the jujube tree, looking at the little white cat.

There is a ring of smoky gray hairs on the melon seeds of the round and fat head, which is as cute and cute as the little demon king mink in Fengzhi Mountain.

A few grilled fish in the campfire were browned and crispy, and the cat hooked its claws and went to the fire pit to catch the grilled fish.

Unexpectedly, a gust of evil wind rose from the south, and the burning bonfire was blown to the side, and the hair on the cat's outstretched paw was instantly burned bald and black.

"Meow———————" The protruding claws quickly retracted, and the cat screamed fiercely.

Yun Rong was amused and laughed unkindly, "I said, don't you cats eat small fish and shrimps raw? What's the use of roasting here at night? I'm not afraid of killing you." This hair is on fire."

Seeing that the fish and shrimp were about to burn, the silly cat was still squatting there 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 slender white palm, took out two skewers of fish and shrimp from the campfire, and handed them to the cat.

This white cat is not afraid of strangers, sniffing its nose, grabbing one of the strings of fish and shrimp in one bite, and pushing the other string of grilled fish to Yunrong with its paws.

Yun Rong frowned lightly.

Yo, still a generous cat.

Yun Rong, who never knew politeness, did not refuse, found a clean place to sit down, and patiently peeled off the shrimp shells and fishbones.

I thought a cat's craftsmanship could be so good.

Unexpectedly, the shrimp meat is fresh and tender, and the fish skin is crispy. When sucked in the mouth, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, it is extremely delicious.

Yunrong enjoyed the cat's ration without any burden.

It's just how a bunch of fish and shrimp can be full, and she stuck the empty skewers into the soil, and she looked at the small skewers that were roasting in the campfire.

At this time, the evil wind had stopped, and the cat was no longer afraid of being burned by the fire. It held out fish and shrimp skewers with its two paws, and shook its beard to blow the hot air.

Smelling the aroma of food in the air, Yun Rong couldn't help but licked her lips, but she couldn't bear to beg for food from a cat after all.

As an adult herself, and a famous person in the world, she has no lower limit to compete with a child for jujube in this small mountain village. If she were an ordinary person, she might not be able to do such a thing.

But Yunrong is not an ordinary person, it is her own ability to compete with children for food, she does not blush.

But even thinking about a cat's small dried fish is really shameless.

Who knows, that cat is more generous than she imagined.

After cooling down those small fish and shrimps, he even shaved the fishbone and peeled off the shells of the shrimps with his small fangs.

Then he raised his tail and brought a large handful of dried fish and shrimps held in his claws to her face.

Yun Rong was greatly surprised: "For me?"

The white cat twitched its beard and looked like it was smiling.

With the small nose and small mouth, there is no such thing as the serious and angry look of ordinary cats with drooping mouths.

If it were normal times, Yun Rong would never believe that a cat could smile so brightly.

Yunrong sat on the ground with her arms around her knees, not sure for a moment that the food was for her, and she didn't feel ashamed to reach out to get it.

She tentatively leaned over her head and snatched a small dried fish from its paw.

Well, it tastes good and is cooked just right.

The kitten didn't show any intention of being stingy and protecting its food, and it didn't retract its paws. Its tail was dangling behind, and it seemed to be in a good mood.

Yun Rong was relieved and finished eating a small dried fish, and then ate two river prawns.

Then there was another small dried fish and two river prawns.

The fish and shrimp on the skewer gradually became empty, Yunrong took the last small dried fish on the skewer, and the movement of protruding his head suddenly stopped.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the round-faced kitten in front of her. She realized that she had put her hands on the ground unconsciously, and the posture with her head stretched out finally made her feel a little wrong.

He was actually being fed by a cat? !

Is this decent?
Yun Rong frowned slowly, sat up straight, and thought about it carefully, the face of the Four Swords of Tianxi cannot be lost, and when it is time to put on airs, you still have to put on airs.

She coughed lightly, and said: "It is said that a cat's tongue is afraid of being hot. I just tried the temperature of the food for you. Well, it's not hot anymore. You can eat it."

What to test the temperature of food, you can try it until there is only one small dried fish left.

Yun Rong saw that the kitten's snow-white belly was swollen and swollen, and she was obviously holding back her laughter.

"If you dare to laugh out loud, I will pull out your mustache one by one." Yunrong smiled slightly, curling the corners of her mouth.

The little cat shook the empty string off its paws, and put the last string of dried fish into Yun Rong's hand.

Then he backed away a few steps, covering his belly with one paw, and slapping the ground with the other paw, making a belly laugh, but he also listened to Yun Rong's words and didn't laugh out loud.

Yunrong: "..."

In the following days when Xiao Zhoushan was thinking about it, Yun Rong had an extra kitten by his side.

Yunrong is not completely idle in Xiaozhoushan.

Since the sword master Yu ordered her to suffer again, she would often do what ordinary people should do like ordinary people in the mountains.

In the early morning, if Yunrong was cutting grain in the rice fields for spring harvest, the kitten would wait for her in the field with the wild fruit that quenches thirst.

In Xiaozhou Mountain, ordinary people and old people suffer from many diseases, but Yun Rong has the ability to know medicine.

If she goes deep into the mountains to collect herbs, the cat will follow her step by step.

In the evening, Yunrong went back to the village in the bullock cart of the fellow villager. One person and one cat lay in the straw pile of the bullock cart, counting the sparse stars in the sky.

Moon cage people, Hoshino into the painting.

Hearing the slight snoring sound of the sleeping kitten beside him, Yun Rong couldn't help but look sideways at the kitten curled up in a ball.

She has lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time she has met such a small animal that clings to her so lovingly.

She is naturally difficult to empathize with others, there is no god in her heart, everything is like floating clouds, and she is fearless.

Even among fellow apprentices, there are very few who are close and friendly to her.

Even the second senior sister, Yue Nu, who is the kindest, gentlest and most tolerant of the Thirteen Swords, it is difficult to get along with her.

This cat is a strange thing. If it is a hungry stray cat who was fed a mouthful of hot food, it would be nothing more than a grateful stray cat who followed her.

But this is a cat that can be self-reliant and even support its family. With its excellent ability of catching fish and shrimp, even if it begs a kitten and gives birth to a litter of kittens, it will definitely not be able to starve its wife and children. A capable cat.

On the contrary, she lived in the jujube tree and was fed by it...

Why did you still rely on this cat?Day and night, three meals a day, he caught crabs and puffer fish and cooked them for her to eat.

The past few days have been even more remarkable. The little thing has learned to pick mushrooms and hunt hares?

As if afraid of starving her, he changed ways to get her delicious food.

Sword Lord Yu exiled her in Xiaozhoushan, with the intention of letting her suffer from the bitter cold and hunger of ordinary people.

But within a month after entering the mountain, Yun Rongsheng fed the little guy more and more fresh and energetic.

Back in the village, Yun Rong sat on the bullock cart and distributed the collected herbs one by one, and delivered them door to door.

Among the hundreds of celestial sects, although Yun Rong is not the best in medicine, but for ordinary people, he is enough to be regarded as a good doctor in medicine.

"Miss Yun, if you hadn't gone up to the mountains every day to collect herbs and give them away, I really don't know what to do with my sick leg. You are such a good person."

A village woman accepted the herbal package from Yunrong with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Although Xiaozhoushan is said to have outstanding people, it is located outside the 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 hot tears from the corners of her eyes, holding Yun Rong's hand, thanking her endlessly.

At this time, there were a few "meows" from the corner of the wall, and an orange kitten stretched out its four soft long legs, stepping on catwalks and poking out from the shadows.

Those few meows sounded very sweet, the haunting little eyes were like little hooks, looking at the white cat nestled on Yunrong's shoulder from a distance, his small body instantly softened like water.

Yunrong: "???"

The woman and aunt at the head of the village: "..."

Amidst a burst of soft, flattering and wavy meows, the woman could only laugh dryly at Yun Rong.

"This is my cat, named Cuihua, isn't it spring? All the cats and dogs in our village are in heat and restless.

Our family's Cuihua has a good figure and is well-groomed, but she is one of the best beauties in our Rongjia Village. On weekdays, many little tomcats would climb over the wall to find them, but I drove them back one by one with a broom. "

While speaking, the woman secretly glanced at the white cat on Yunrong's shoulder.

Be good to me, her man left early, these days, even looking at a cat feels pretty.

This Yun girl looks like a wonderful person, and the cats she raises are all so smart and handsome.

Yun Rong listened to the woman's nagging words without saying a word.

When listening to the word "beauty", I couldn't help but take a look at the little female cat. It is a very common orange cat in the village. It has a soft, long and graceful figure, so it can be called a "beauty" among cats.

But what's the matter with the woman's pimp tone.

The woman is also a caring person, she looks at Yun Rong's bearing, charm and strength, which can be said to be one or two things in the world, and she can tell that she is definitely not an ordinary person.

It's a pity that she has no children, so she can't get married with such a fairy character.

But it doesn't matter, she has Cuihua's heart.

If the precious cat raised by the girl all day long can be paired with the cat raised by Miss Yun, it would be a good story in their Rongjia Village, wouldn't it?

The woman asked with a smile, "I don't know what the name of Miss Yun's cat is?"

Yun Rong didn't have the nerve to say that she was picked up by this cat, so she had to put on airs and let these mortals know that she was raising the cat, not the cat was raising her.

So I casually chose a name: "Peach Blossom."

The little cat named Peach Blossom: "..."

The woman clapped her hands, her brows brimming 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 it, how about I marry you a wife, that little female cat looks good."
