Yuan Xiang put down the axe, rubbed her arm and listened.
“But one day, it disappeared suddenly and the yard felt empty. I searched many places and asked all the people in the family but no one knew where it went,” Yun Niang cast her gaze to the horizon. There was a misty sight beyond the green mountains.Â
“What happened later? Didn’t you find it?” Yuan Xiang asked.
“Of course not, how can I let it run like that.” Yun Niang smiled, “I was young and had a great temper. When I couldn’t find him, I went back to the beach where I found him. I kept going there everyday. He was ungrateful, and left without saying goodbye. Finally one day, the round head appeared on the sea again, looking at me sullenly.”
“So I laughed and put him in a basin and took him home,” Yun Niang stood up, rubbed Yuan Xiang’s head with her kerchief, turned and went into the house.
“Can it be like this?” Yuan Xiang felt better after hearing the story. The little fish that Yun Niang raised was obviously a spirit. Perhaps because he liked Yun Niang, he finally returned to her.
Yun Niang was just an ordinary person.
She would also have the opportunity to meet the little spirits who were willing to stay by her side, instead of putting them under house arrest.
Yuan Xiang picked up the chopped firewood scattered on the ground and staggered them neatly on the open ground, waiting for them to dry out in the sun so she could put them into the firewood shed in the corner.
When she bent over to pick them up, she saw a long-necked chicken in clothes lying on the wood-cutting pier. A small body in a small long robe with a pair of small cloud climbing boots under his feet, but a long chicken neck above the collar, which was begging to be put on a wooden stake waiting to be beheaded.
Wasn’t this the chicken that often appeared at her home when she was young?
“How can it be you?” Yuan Xiang was surprised and delighted. She picked up the chicken from the pier while he made a series of cooing noises.
Yuan Xiang put a plate of sautéed pine nuts in front of the little spirit who had come from afar and brought him a cup of tea.
He sat upright in front of the tree stump, stuck out his small human-like hand from his sleeve, held up a teacup to drink and picked up the pine nuts in the plate to eat, “Thanks, thank you…cuckoo.”
It was the first time Yuan Xiang heard him speak.
“Why did you come here?” Yuan Xiang asked him with a smile.
“He… they all said, you were here.”
This was a spirit whose wisdom had not yet been fully established and was not good at expressing his thoughts in human language smoothly, but he had gone so far to find her to play. Yuan Xiang had been in Queqiu for so long and even her family had never come to visit her. This was the first time she had seen someone from her old family.
“Then you can live with me, will you be my apostle?” She asked expectantly.
The chicken who was holding a hot teacup in both hands was stunned. His eyes turned in different directions and he suddenly disappeared. The teacup fell from the air and rolled on the grass.
Yuan Xiang looked at the teacup on the ground, picked it up unwillingly, poured another cup of water and looked at her reflection on the surface of the water. Was it because she was not as beautiful as Shiniang so not only was Xiao Nan but also this chicken unwilling to stay by her side?
In the corner, the chicken quietly touched back to the side of the tree stump, stretched out two small hands to pull the pine nuts from the plate into his arms and then sneaked away while clutching his clothes.
The fields in winter were dark brown and there was no fresh green.
Yuan Xiang squatted on the edge of the ridge, using a carrot to hook up a wild rabbit among the grass.
“Hello, are you willing to be my apostle?” She held the carrot green branches and shook the orange-red radish.
Not surprisingly, the hare fled with a panic on its hind legs.
It was just an ordinary hare.
“Even ordinary hares don’t get tempted. I guess this carrot is not good.”
Yuan Xiang patted her buttocks to stand up and gnawed the carrot by herself. It was obviously crisp and sweet.
“I thought that only rabbits eat carrots, so do you humans eat carrots too?” A soft voice came from the canopy above her head.
Sitting on a branch gently and skillfully was a young man in a splendid robe of light fur, golden boots, long dark brown hair, finely braided with red rope tied on top of his head. He was like the young Shifu who was very delicately taken care of in a rich house. He had a pair of brown cat ears on both sides of his head and he spoke with Yuan Xiang very skillfully.
“You are?” Yuan Xiang couldn’t remember meeting such a young boy.
The young man pressed the branch and dexterously turned over from the branch several meters high and turned into a small lynx when it fell gently on the ground.
“I just met you. Did you forget me so soon? Do humans have such a bad memory?” The little cat accused.
Yuan Xiang finally remembered. Seven years ago, she “just” saw this little cat. He almost died under a trap, but fortunately, Shifu arrived in time and saved him.
“It turned out to be you. You haven’t grown up at all for so many years. You’re still so small?”
“Nonsense, I am 300 years old this year, much older than you, who is the small one?”
