The days when I farmed in Liaozhai

Chapter 190 Making Dried Fruits

The friend of the Black Cat Demon calls himself Zong Yan. He looks younger than the Black Cat Demon. He wears a yellow and white robe with a long waist and a jade belt. He walks and talks like a master.

The friend's sudden visit made the black cat demon very embarrassed in front of Fu Duoxi, Zong Yan greeted Fu Duoxi generously and naturally, "Uncle Cat has always refused to bring me here, maybe because he was afraid that I would scare the girl, Miss Duoxi, where are you from?" Immortal? The goblins on the cliff say you are not a mortal."

Fu Duoxi was about to make dried fruit, so he raised his head and smiled at Zongyan. It was really difficult to answer this question.

The black cat demon was most afraid of making trouble for Fu Duoxi, and his friend wanted to talk nonsense, so he said to Zong Yan: "You should leave quickly after dinner, forget about that lady, and start over. I am not alone. Well, can't you live without your wife?"

Zong Yan laughed, leaned over to pick up an apple from the basket, tossed it in his hand a few times, took a bite, and nodded in approval, "My wife can also make fruit snacks, and I haven't eaten them for a long time. What are you going to do, Duoxi?" The fruit is already very sweet."

"Make some dried fruit and save it for winter."

Thinking of drinking tea and eating dried fruits around the stove in snowy weather makes me feel beautiful.

"It's better to hug and keep warm in winter..." Zong Yan looked at Fu Duoxi cutting fruit quickly, then thought of his wife, stretched out his fists and said, "Duoxi, please help me find my wife, I feel you It smells like my wife."

"Zong Yan, what nonsense are you talking about! Believe it or not, I'll beat you up."

"If you want to take advantage of my sister, pass me, Hu Xiaomeng, first."

The little fox demon stared at Zong Yan and bared his teeth, while the black cat demon had already grabbed Zong Yan's ear and raised his fist high.

Zong Yan smiled wryly and begged for mercy, "I don't mean anything else... how dare I take advantage of Duoxi! Hei Feng, if you don't believe me, you can hear it. Duoxi really has the aura of my wife. Even if my wife wants to leave me, she has to wait for me to give it to her. You can only leave with a letter of divorce, so it’s nothing to leave without telling me! Maybe Duoxi has seen my wife..."

"Be civilized, both of you, listen to what he has to say before you start." Fu Duoxi asked, "How old is your wife? When did she leave you?"

Zong Yan's wife is seventeen this year. Three years ago, Zong Yan saw that woman selling her body to bury her father on the side of the road, so he gave her ten taels of silver.The woman insisted on following Zong Yan to repay her kindness.Zong Yan also married that woman logically.A month ago, the woman went out in the morning and never came back.

After listening to Zong Yan's words, Fu Duoxi immediately remembered the incident about the draft girl who had caused a lot of trouble a while ago, "Where do you and your wife live?"

"Stay at home."

"Stupid, my sister is asking which county town and village you live in!" The little fox demon rolled his eyes.

The black cat demon sighed, his friend was indeed a bit stupid, otherwise he would not have given up the Elvis fight, and would rather live a mortal life with a woman, "You can't understand where you live, no wonder the lady ran away."

Zong Yan rubbed his face embarrassingly, "We live in Jinhua County. You know, most of our cat demons live in Jinhua. Black Wind is special, it wants to cultivate immortality, which is different from us."

"Jinhua! I'm sorry I didn't make it clear, Jinhua is a good place. I also want to go to Jinhua to buy some ham, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon..."

Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the main battlegrounds for the emperor to recruit girls. Fu Duoxi had seen the roster of girls. Most of the girls came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Among them, Hangzhou and Jinhua had the most. At that time, Zuo An was basically active in Jinhua.

But how should I tell Zong Yan? If a cat demon knows that his wife has been conscripted by the emperor, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The days that the Black Cat Demon and Fu Duoxi have been together are not too short. Seeing that Fu Duoxi's expression is still on the verge of speaking, he asked cautiously: "Duoxi, have you really met Zong Yan's wife?"

"I probably haven't seen her before, what's her name?"

You can ask Mr. Ji to help you find out about this matter. Mr. Ji is Princess Changji's son-in-law. It shouldn't be difficult to check the new lady who entered the palace.

"Lan'er." Zong Yan gestured at Lan'er's size and appearance, which didn't sound outstanding.But Fu Duoxi was taken aback by Lan'er's birthday, she was born on the same day as Mannia.

In addition to good looks, the emperor's draft girls had the same birthdays this time. Zong Yan's wife must have been arrested and sent to the palace as a show girl.The show girls were divided into two batches. The first batch of show girls were transported directly to the capital by the prefect of Hangzhou.They are not as lucky as the second batch, and they can enter the palace according to their own wishes.

Fu Duoxi still had an impression of the first batch of show girls. After thinking about it carefully, although he didn't remember all their names, there seemed to be a girl who always bowed her head and remained silent.

Fu Duoxi took the steamed fruits to the yard and spread them out to dry in the sun, and then started making dinner again.

Zong Yan was disgusted by the little fox demon, and sat alone on the balcony looking at the dried fruit in a daze, and occasionally raised his hand to wipe his eyes, it seemed that he missed his wife again.

What an infatuated husband!
Fu Duoxi put the crabs into the steamer and covered the big pot, and took out the paper bird with his back to the door. He just called Mr. Ji when he heard Ji Yunshen's voice.

"Master Ji, please help me find out whether a girl named Lan'er has entered the palace as a show girl selected this time."

"Okay, I'll tell you as soon as I find out. I'm now on the mountain behind the palace. You must have never imagined that the cave where Zuo Quan was found last time leads to the back of the dragon."

The torch in Ji Yunshen's hand suddenly went out, but he couldn't turn it on again, and there was a faint sound of sharp wind in his ears.He hurriedly stepped back and turned around, when a black shadow suddenly crossed his eyes.

The black shadow roared and swooped down, heading straight for Ji Yunshen's face.Ji Yunshen quickly retreated and pulled out the Wujin whip, and the paper bird fell to the ground with a clatter. At this moment, he didn't care about picking it up, and the Wujin whip slammed towards the flying black shadow. The black shadow screamed, picked up the paper bird on the ground, and circled around fly away.

"Master Ji, what happened? Are you still there?"

Fu Duoxi even asked a few times, but did not respond.Hearing the black cat demon asking who she was talking to, she hastily put away the paper bird.

"I'm worried that it will rain these two days, and those fruits need to be steamed and dried three times to make the mouth dry."

Fu Duoxi made an excuse casually, but he didn't expect the black cat demon to take it seriously. He stretched his neck to look at the sky, and then said seriously that it would not rain, unless there was a god who wanted to spread clouds and rain. "

"There has been enough rain this year, and the lives of ordinary people are not easy." Fu Duoxi sighed, guessing that the time was almost up, he took out the crabs from the pot, and took out the dried fish that had been baked in the oven.

"I told Zong Yan to leave immediately after dinner. I can't let him eat and live here for nothing. Zong Yan is just as infatuated when he becomes a woman, and he might forget about her after a while.

After following it for three years, it is already tantamount to repaying their kindness.If Zong Yan really likes that woman, if a mortal lives with a demon, he should let her go. "
