The fairy city of the market man

Chapter 21
Back to the city lord's mansion, Shang Sancao Siqi went to the kitchen to help, they wanted to eat earlier so that they could go outside the city to pick peaches.

The old lady is going too, firstly to relax, and secondly to burn incense at the Earth Temple to fulfill her vows.Chen Mei'er didn't dare to be too far away from grandma, so she took the initiative to ask Ying to stay and clean up.

When I went out and walked on Beitong Street, my old lady praised the two men holding the bamboo baskets: "That little girl looks delicate, and she does things neatly, not to mention the kitchen work, and it's only been a few days since she made that skirt with me." Just close the edges, the pattern is really beautiful, it is the first time I have seen such a clever needlework!"

Mrs. Shang San'er got along well with the little lady of the immortal, and Cao Si knew that the soles of the shoes that Mrs. Shang had been pasting these days were for making shoes to give to the little lady, which was regarded as a return gift for the skirt.

Immortals are different, Cao Si had no illusions about the fairy lady, and joked: "Mrs. Shang, I really think it's good, so I said I will be the wife of the third child!"

Glancing at her son, the old lady shook her head lightly.

Cao Si didn't let it go: "He is the city lord now, and he is worthy of being a human immortal!"

Mrs. Shang sighed: "It's not a fairy. This city is really dangerous. I also want to find him a wife sooner. If I can add a man and a woman, maybe I will move to another city with my grandchildren." Go, I'm too lazy to worry about it here! But little girl Chen is not good enough, her temper is really soft, how can she restrain this demon king? Besides, she is not healthy, she is not easy to give birth to, the old lady gave birth to three, and only supported one ineffective, already She is the only seedling of an old businessman, and if she doesn't have many children, she must not be a daughter-in-law!"

Shang San'er's mother is an earth fairy queen, she has no interest in the other Taoism that her son said, she only picked up "Numerology" which Shang San'er despises, she has a pure heart and is actually suitable for cultivation, but not It seems that Shang San'er has a lot of greed, and he has only worked hard for about ten days, and he has already gained a little.

Cao Si didn't know this, so he laughed loudly: "Human immortals have all kinds of abilities, can't they have children?"

Shang San'er was very sure that if she had grandchildren and moved to another city, she was coaxing Cao Si, but she was afraid that she would be really anxious about the marriage, and there would be no one in the city, so if she had grandchildren, she would give them to her family. Marriage is arranged indiscriminately, after all, in the past, no one was picky about the crippled and stupid, and the son is not as good as a dog, so I dare not mention that one.

He interjected with a playful smile: "I also met a fairy, how can I mess with the marriage? The little girl has little flesh and only has a sixth-level cultivation. It's okay to be a girl who serves tea and water to warm the bed. How can she be a wife?" ?”

Hearing his loud tone, Cao Si smiled disdainfully, while his old mother stared and scolded: "There is still a knife hanging on his head, and there is no one in the city, so he really thinks that his family is a wealthy Zhou family who can raise a whole house of lovely wives and beautiful women." Concubine? You are so beautiful!"

The old lady scolded, but Shang San'er just listened with a smile, afraid of being beaten by her, so he didn't speak anymore.

But Cao Si shouted: "Don't say that the city lord's mansion has a house full of women, and my Cao mansion shouldn't be idle!"

When the old lady's attention was not here, Cao Si grabbed Shang San'er's neck, and whispered wretchedly: "Mrs. Shang thinks that Miss Chen is not easy to bear, because she is afraid that she will not be able to nurse the baby!"

He meant that Mrs. Chen was thin and had small breasts.

Shang San'er stared at his face fiercely.

Cao Si was puzzled, touched his face, and asked in surprise, "Are there any flowers?"

Shang San'er grinned: "I see your teeth are strong!"

It wasn't that Shang San'er was talking nonsense, there was really a small embroidery needle trailing behind them, and it didn't fly away until the three of them and a dog turned into Xizheng Street.

Accompany the old lady to go to the earth temple to burn incense, and then come out to find peach trees that have no owner.

Those peaches just turned yellow and red just ripe, and they are still hard to hold, but they are edible.

In fact, Shang San'er only wanted peach pits, regardless of whether they were good or bad, he climbed the tree and plucked them randomly, while my mother and Cao Si picked out the best ones, and after tasting them, they wanted sweet ones without insects.

Not to mention the entire city, the City Lord's Mansion is not green at all. Other fruits, such as plums, apricots, pears, dates, and persimmons, Shang Saner also wants to move some into the City Lord's Mansion, but these trees do not grow as well as peach trees. Hurry up, you can't wait to start planting again. Without the means of immortals, this season is not suitable for transplanting. It is best to wait until the leaves of the trees in early winter have fallen before transplanting is easy to survive.

I picked off two large boxes of peaches, and threw them to the old dog because it was getting late.

The peaches in the two big frames didn’t shrink, and they were stable on the dog’s back. Cao Sicai realized later: “It can carry peaches, why can’t it carry water? You’re telling me to get up early!”

Shang San'er smiled: "Brother, get up early and walk around, and your body will be more active. It's not reasonable to rely on an old dog for everything!"

Cao Si had nothing to do with him.

Back at Beitong Street, Cao Si took one basket and the other basket went to the City Lord's Mansion, and the old lady asked Shang San'er to pick some out and send them to the grandparents of the Chen family.

We had already quarreled once today, and with a slight victory, Shang San'er didn't act wildly on the dead old woman on the bed, handed the peach to Xiaoniang Chen, turned and left.

Go back to the city lord's mansion, find an animal skin bag from the secret storehouse, and ask the old dog to release the five-segmented prawns caught today, and put it in the secret storehouse.

That leather bag is specially made by immortals to hold Youbi shrimp, Shang San'er has seen it before.

Go back to the house and have another conversation with the old lady, and pick some peaches to eat together, Shang San'er takes the wine cup, pours "rotten intestine wine" and suffers.

Go down with five qian wine, and by being slightly drunk, it's like sleeping without dreams.

Wake up at dawn, first cut a small piece of dog meat and feed it to the five-section shrimp in the secret warehouse, and then come back to wash.

In fact, the Youbi Shrimp is under the passageway of the tiankeng. It doesn't know how long it takes to get some meat. It doesn't know what to eat on weekdays, and it can survive. How can it starve to death in a short time?But in Shang San'er's eyes, it is just a pile of meritorious bamboo leaves, so don't dare to be careless.

After washing, he picked up the bucket and walked out of the city slowly.

The catastrophe in Green Willow City must have been known to the surrounding cities. The ghost mother-in-law waited for those in need to ask to plant trees, and the caravans that came and went all changed their way. When receiving water, he stood on a small hill and went Looking in the three directions of south, west, north, and south, there are no people on the road.

Liujie Mountain is in the east of the city, and the caravans who used to come here were also taboo. When they passed by, they would rather walk more, detour through the north and south avenues, and then enter the city from the west gate.

It can be seen that there are some taboos, but it still makes sense, what if it really happens?
Carrying water back to the intersection, he called Cao Si to change halfway. He was in Cao's house and picked up all the peach pits Cao Si ate last night.

Take some farming tools, start planting peach pits from outside the gate of the city lord's mansion, along Beitong Street to the south, and prepare to bury one on the left and right sides of a gate.

When he reached the gate of the Protocol Department, Chen Meier came out and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Shang San'er was using a shovel to pry up the bluestone slab to dig a hole in the mud below, and asked without raising his head, "Didn't you see it? Plant peaches!"

The little girl timidly asked, "Aren't you going to fish for shrimp today?"

The quarrel yesterday, the dead old woman must have told her that she wanted to tell the little girl to go to the old lady to complain, and then hurt herself to be hammered, Shang San'er was even more angry: "Today only grow peaches, not fish for shrimps!"

The little girl was silent for a while, and said, "I'll plant it for you!"

She was willing to help, and of course Shang San'er had no objection.

Cao Sixun, who was busy with his work, came to see them planting peaches on the street after carrying water. He also came to help them in the same way.

However, the two streets are all paved with bluestone slabs, and they need to be pried up and removed first to dig a hole. Once you dig a hole, you don't want to make any more effort, just watch from the sidelines.

The drainage ditch is in the middle of the street, connected to the ditches of various houses. Shang San'er's peaches are only planted on the side of the street, and they will grow up later, so it will not be affected.

Cao Si was depressed, planted all the way to Nantong Street, all the way was pried up bluestone slabs, dug and filled earth pits, Shang San'er, like the fairy lady, didn't have a little sweat on her body.

Before they were planted in Chenghuang Temple, the peach pits were gone. Shang San'er told him to go back to his house for lunch, and then he would eat some more peaches, and then planted them in the afternoon.

On this day, only peaches were planted, and Shang San'er stopped after planting all the two main streets, Tong and Zheng.

Early the next morning, he was called up again by Shang Saner to carry water. Cao Si looked around at the intersection, and all the bluestone slabs that had been pried up and moved to the side of the street had disappeared.

When the water was carried into the city lord's mansion, Cao Sixun and Shang San'er complained: "You are so innocent, you just coax your brother to play?"

Shang San'er felt strange and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Cao Si snorted: "Where did you hide the bluestone board all night? You said you didn't learn the magic of immortality?"

It made Shang San'er laugh: "What does it have to do with me who call the old dog to drag them to the public warehouse?"

Push everything to the old dog, Cao Si couldn't believe it, and asked, "Where is the dog?"

Shang San'er replied truthfully: "There is an uncle Tu who wants to move to the city, and his whole family will come. After that, there will be butchers and pig farmers. The road is not smooth. I asked the old dog to pick him up. He just left!"

"There are really people who dare to come to live in Green Willow City, are they also immortals?"

"Well, it's only three or four ranks, it's useless, it's a crime, and the county guard is demoted to guard the city!"

After Cao Si left, Chen Xiaoniang came again and asked him, "Are you fishing for shrimp today?"

Shang San'er shook his head, and answered her: "The dog is not here, how dare I go to Liujie Mountain? Don't say that a ghost can't escape, and it's not good to be infected with magic smoke!"

Chen Xiaoniang also asked: "Where is the old dog?"

Shang San'er answered as it was, and Chen Xiaoniang had the same expression as Cao Si when she left, and she was also disappointed.

The old dog was not around, so he didn't feel safe. Shang San'er didn't do anything that day, but helped his mother prepare meals and pack the cyclamen.

Unexpectedly, at noon, the voice of the city god sounded again: "A stranger entered the city from the west gate!"

If it was Tu Zhuang's family, accompanied by an old dog, the City God would not have said that, Shang San'er was startled, and quickly asked: "Master City God, how many?"

"Two people!"

It's only two people, and it won't be a caravan.

The dog is not here, so difficult!

As the lord of the city, there was no one in the city to count on, no matter how worried Shang San'er was, he had no choice but to go and investigate in person.

The two people who were blocked on the West Main Street to enter the city were a middle-aged couple holding hands, they were more timid than Shang San'er, and when they met each other, they both shrank back.

But in this world where the avenues are not stable, only he and his wife can walk to the Green Willow City that has just been robbed by the devil. No matter how cowardly they behave, how dare Shang San'er underestimate them?

"Why did you two come to my Green Willow City?"

The woman was quite pretty, she shrank her head and said nothing, and the man answered: "Looking for someone!"

Shang San'er didn't believe it: "There are not even two grasshoppers in the city, how can there be people?"

The man said: "My niece, niece, please. Please tell the gods with your ears. Tell her that they are in this city!"

Shang San'er looked at the two of them again and again, fortunately Chen Mei'er looked a bit like her mother, so she was thin and thin and not ugly.

To be on the safe side, Shang San'er asked, "What's your daughter's name?"

"Meier, Chen. Chen Meier!"

Well, at least the little mother can say whatever she wants, it's true that it's her own father.
