I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 596 Please come again to lead the way for us
"Little girl, do you think I look like a mouse or a human? Or do I look like a fairy?"

The big gray mouse stood up higher than a human's knees, walked like a human, swaying slightly, approached Sanhua Empress, and asked with a smile.

"You look like a rat to me!"

The girl stared at it with a serious face.

"What did you say?"

When the big gray mouse heard this, he became furious and bared his teeth.

"Tell me again what I look like!"

The girl, dressed in three-color clothes and with a fair face, still stared at him, not frightened by its anger, but asked: "Then do you think I look like a human or a cat?"

At the same time, no more hidden smells.

"what?"

The big gray mouse was stunned for a moment and sniffed.

It was only then that I smelled the cat smell coming from the little girl.

"!"

The mouse was startled and looked up.

The girl was staring straight at it.

In an instant, it no longer seemed to see a girl with a slightly serious expression in its eyes, but a cat that was concentrating on hunting.The cat was concentrating and naturally didn't show many expressions.

The mouse suddenly became frightened and his legs felt weak.

"brush!"

Without any other hesitation, he turned around and lay down, moving his four feet quickly, trying to escape.

Then one foot has stepped on its tail.

The mouse was panicked and frightened. When he looked back, he saw that it was the little girl who stepped on his tail.

In a daze, the picture that emerged in his mind was of an ordinary cat holding down the tail of an ordinary mouse that was about to escape - nothing else, this picture was too similar and too familiar, it was exactly it. The most fearful and most impressive appearance deep in my memory.

"Canopy!"

The mouse exploded immediately and turned into a puff of gray smoke.

It was like a handful of incense ash was scattered in the air.

However, the incense ashes remained firm and did not disperse, as if being carried by the wind, floating upwards and into the distance.

"hiss……"

The little girl also took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke.

What he spit out was a puff of yellow smoke.

Although the yellow smoke was exhaled later, it was faster. It quickly flew into the sky and caught up with the slowly floating gray smoke. As soon as the two collided, they became entangled and merged with each other.

"Gollum..."

For a moment, the smoke in the air seemed to be boiling, suddenly surged up, suddenly bulged into a lump in the air, and then suddenly shrank, twisting and changing.

A sharp, frightened cry came from the distortion.

"Squeak!!"

It's like something is struggling inside.

Until there was another "canopy" sound.

The smoke dissipated out of thin air, and a big gray mouse fell from the sky, fell to the ground, dizzy, but shouted repeatedly:

"Forgive me! Great Immortal, forgive me!"

It sounds like a long time, but it's actually only a few breaths.

The short and thin young man walking in front naturally heard these noises, but he did not dare to look back, for fear that the noises were all fake, or that this gentleman could not defeat the monster in a fight, and he turned around rashly and was seen by the monster. On the contrary, you will be resented, and you will fall ill in the dream.However, after taking only a dozen steps, the movement behind him was completely different from what he had imagined. The huge difference even gave him an extremely unreal feeling, until he heard the sharp and harsh squeaking sound of the monster, and even the tragic sound. Even though he was begging for mercy, he doubted whether it was true or not.

Finally I couldn't help it anymore and looked back.

Then I saw the girl next to the Taoist holding a big gray mouse about the same size as a cat in her hand. She looked calm and calm, and even her movements of lifting the mouse looked unusual——

She held the mouse's tail with her hand and held it upside down. No matter how the mouse struggled, she did not move at all, showed no fear, and showed no emotion in her expression.

It's as natural as a person carrying a bunch of vegetables.

Then she bent down slightly, lowered her head, used her other hand to open her trousers, and stuffed the huge rat inside.

Suddenly the clothes were packed.

At the same time, someone in the nearby mansion also heard the noise and opened the door a crack. A servant poked his head out and looked over fearfully, and happened to see this scene.

The two of them walked in tandem, taking in the girl's movements completely, and both saw the shock in their eyes.

……

A moment later, in the Zhu family mansion.

After the servants of the Zhu family saw the girl putting the rat essence into the sack, they went back to report it to the master, and then invited the Taoist and his entourage into the house together with the short and thin young man who led the way.

In a hurry, there was nothing to entertain Song You in the Zhu family's house. Fortunately, the back kitchen was cooking a pot of chicken soup, using hens that were several years old, so he quickly asked the back kitchen to boil three bowls of rice and use it. Put it in a large earthenware bowl, scoop out a pot of chicken soup, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and you don't even need to add salt, and you have a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

Thanks to the Taoist priest, the young man also got a bowl.

The bowl is bigger than the head, the rice is as white as snow, and the chicken soup has been boiled until the bottom is white, but the oil beads are golden and shiny. It is garnished with some green chopped green onions and a lot of chicken. It is simple but delicious.

"Suck it..."

Taoists and girls all held bowls and ate. Even Sanhua Empress, who didn't like rice and noodles before, was enjoying the food now.

Young people gobbled it up even more.

In these days, it is not easy for ordinary people to have such a meal.After eating the rice noodles, I also drank the soup.

Satisfied, Song You raised his head and saw an old man sitting in front of him, and several middle-aged people, all staring at them.

"Thank you Mr. Zhu for the hospitality."

"Sir, can you get used to it?"

"If you get used to it, it's very delicious."

"We can't buy food today. We don't have anything else to entertain you, sir. Please forgive me." The old man glanced at the girl's bag, which was bulging inside. It was said that it contained the mouse. "I don't know that our Zhu family What kind of evil was done to have such a monster in the house? It scared the women and children in the house so much that they dared not go out. They tried many ways to get rid of it, but they didn't expect that when the husband came, he easily subdued it. Yes, it’s really a magical method.”

"It's all thanks to the children."

"Of course." The old man handed over to the girl next to Song You who also put down the bowl, and asked the servant to bring two pieces of honeycomb silver. "Before, because the monsters were too rampant and worrying, the old man once offered a reward of ten taels of silver. To get rid of this monster, it was later increased to 20 taels. Since your husband helped my Zhu family get rid of the monster, I should naturally provide it to you."

This Zhu family is considered to be a big family. It is obviously a monster nearby that is wandering in the alleys of Jiyafang, but it is said that it is for the Zhu family to get rid of the monster.

"Thank you very much then."

Song You was not polite and saluted and thanked him.

The girl immediately took the money.

The old man then asked: "I don't know where these two masters of cultivation are. Where did they come from and where are they going?"

"We came from Lingquan County, Yizhou, and are going to Mao County, Yunzhou."

"Numa County?"

"Xian Ning, Marsh County, is here for the winter."

"Xianning County? There's still [-] miles to go." The old man did some calculations and then sent an invitation to the Taoist, "Sir, there's no need to rush to Xianning County. Although it's autumn now, once you come to Yundu, There is not much difference between hot and cold and fibrous. Secondly, the weather in Yundu is different from that in Yizhou. It will take at least another three months for it to get colder. If you are not in a hurry, sir, you might as well stay in a humble house for a while. Let us Show your friendship as a landlord, entertain me well, sir, and it won’t be too late to leave.”

"It's too much trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble! Sir, please stay!"

"When I travel around the world and stay in Yundu for a while, I will inevitably go out to slay demons. Firstly, coming in and out may disturb the rest of Mr. Zhu's family, which will be inconvenient. Secondly, I am afraid that Mr. Zhu will worry."

The old man hesitated after hearing this.

Several middle-aged people also looked at each other.

After just thinking about it for a moment, they still insisted and wanted to keep the Taoist in their house.

The Taoist smiled and didn't insist much.

The wealthy families in Dayan have always had a tradition of supporting monks and Taoists. Some wealthy families even set aside a room for monks or Taoists to live in when they built their mansions, and then regularly invited famous or familiar monks and Taoists nearby. At home, they provide delicious food and drinks, and the monks and Taoists are responsible for reciting mantras and blessings, or answering questions and praying for peace for the family members.

These days, this trend should be more popular than before.

This is in line with Empress Sanhua’s wishes again——

Saved a lot of money on rent and food.

"Although this rat spirit is causing trouble in the local area, it has not killed anyone. It would be fine if there was no City God's Temple. Now the City God's Temple has been built in the city. If I catch this mouse, I should send it to the City God's Temple to convict the City God according to the law. Punishment is what matters." Song You wiped his mouth and stood up, "It's getting dark, so I'll go to the City God's Temple first."

"I'll ask someone to take you sir!"

"No need, my friend is good at leading the way." Song You smiled and refused, "I just ask Mr. Zhu to take good care of my horses for me."

"sure!"

Song You saluted him and walked out of Zhu's Mansion.

The short and thin young man naturally followed him.

"How does rice taste?"

Song You turned to look at him with a smile.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious!" said the short and thin young man. "The last time I ate meat was in the first half of the year, let alone this bowl full of chicken soup. It's really delicious!"

"I haven't asked you to respect your name yet."

"Wang Xiaoman, ranked fourth in my family, everyone else calls me Wang Si."

"Wang Xiaoman..."

Song You wrote down the name, and then took out a handful of copper coins from his arms. There were fifteen coins in total. He handed ten coins to him first: "This is the salary for leading us to Jiyafang and pointing out Zhu's mansion."

Then he put the remaining five coins into his hand: "This is the money that I will use to take us to the City God's Temple in Yundu."

"The villain didn't bring Mr. Zhu to the Zhu Mansion. It was the servants of the Zhu Mansion who invited him in, but he gave him a good meal. Taking him to the City God's Temple was what he was supposed to do, so how could he charge more money? "

"This money is what I deserve."

Song You shook his head and smiled, talking as he walked.

The sun has completely set on the mountain, and there is only a gradual glow on the horizon. The clouds above the head are so red that it is heart-wrenching. The weather that is rare in other places seems to be ordinary here. The Taoist walked slowly on the deep and long road. In the alley, he said: "With this kind of guiding job, how many orders can I take in a day?"

"Only four or five at most."

"Are you familiar with the road outside the city?"

"Too familiar!"

"Then count it as five."

"Sir, this is..."

"After leaving today, please come to Zhu's Mansion tomorrow to find us, and then ask me to lead the way. The money will be calculated on a daily basis."

"..."

The young man was stunned, not knowing why.
