Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Jiang Yue chose a place with a wide view and sat down, gazing at the magnificent scenery in front of her. The mountains were rolling and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on them as if covering the earth with a layer of golden gauze. She took a deep breath and quickly waved the paintbrush in her hand.

The paint was freely spread on the canvas, and as her brushstrokes continued to move, a gorgeous landscape painting gradually took shape. After the painting was completed, Jiang Yue admired her work with a satisfied smile on her face.

After getting up, they put the painting back where it was. The paint on it hadn't dried yet, so they left it there for now. After stretching their bodies, the puppet poured them a cup of tea. After they drank the tea, the female puppet prepared the meal. When the three of them were eating here, a passing caravan looked at them in surprise. Everyone was busy rushing to the next post station or city, but they were still setting up tents and cooking here.

After dinner, Jiang Yue took out his fishing rod and prepared to cast a few casts. He saw fish in the river when he was pulling the horses to water. After getting ready, Jiang Yue started fishing. Although he had a fishing skill of level five, he still didn't catch a single fish after an hour. It was really strange. Aren't fish these days stupid?

Jiang Yue didn't plan to continue fishing because she didn't catch any fish. Although she had a sachet on her body and mosquitoes didn't come near her, she still felt a little uncomfortable listening to the buzzing sound. After packing up her fishing gear, she returned to the tent, sat on a small chair and looked at the stars. If there was one thing that was better in ancient times than in modern times, it would probably be the starry sky and the air.

After staying here for two days, we continued our journey. The road was difficult to walk on and Jiang Yue loved to run in the mountains, so our walking speed was very slow and the route gradually shifted a lot. However, we had not originally decided on a specific route, so as long as the general direction was right, we would just go wherever we wanted.

As they walked, they found themselves getting further and further away. Originally, they wanted to walk along the coastline, for example, going south from Yangzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou and Quanzhou. But Jiang Yue looked at Yizhou (Chengdu) in front of him. Was he going the wrong way? Jiang Yue thought for a while and decided to make the best of it. After all, they were supposed to follow their heart along the way, and it would be good to see more different scenery.

So she brought the puppet into Yizhou City. The city was bustling with activity, all kinds of snacks smelled delicious, and jugglers drew cheers from the crowd. Jiang Yue looked around curiously until she was tired and then she found a teahouse to rest. She ordered a pot of local tea and drank it while listening to the people around her chatting. This was the fastest way to get to know a place.

The chosen place was indeed good. After a while, Jiang Yue had some understanding of the major events that had happened recently in the city. When she had almost finished her tea, her stomach was also full of gossip. The male puppet had also rented a house to pick her up. This time the house was rented for a longer period of time. After finally arriving in a big city, she had to take a break. Besides, the weather was getting colder, so she had to buy new things.

Also, the horses pulling the carts needed some fattening after walking for a few months. After Puppet paid the money, the three of them went downstairs to their accommodation. After Jiang Yue left, the new topic of discussion in the restaurant became her. After all, she was obviously from another place, so it would be strange if people didn't gossip about her.

After arriving at the place, Jiang Yue looked at the small courtyard, which was very local in style. After packing up, the three of them went out to find food. Every time they arrived at a place, they would try the local delicacies. Jiang Yue had always eaten light food in her life, and her stomach could not bear eating something spicy. She decided to eat something sweet tomorrow. The Jiao Teng Zhui she saw today was pretty good.

After dinner, I strolled around the street and went home to rest after digesting the food. It was quite tiring after traveling all day, even if I was sitting in a carriage.

The next day, Jiang Yue got up early and went out to look for the jiao chuan zhui she had seen yesterday. The early morning in Yizhou City was particularly peaceful. The vendors had just set up their stalls, and the fresh ingredients exuded a refreshing scent. After finding the stall selling jiao chuan zhui, Jiang Yue couldn't wait to taste it. The sweet and crispy taste made her happy.

After breakfast, she went shopping in the nearby shops and bought a lot of Shu brocade and snacks on the way back. In the afternoon, she went to buy some top-quality Shu brocade. If Jiang Yue didn't have the token given by Li Shimin, she wouldn't have been able to buy it. Li Shimin probably didn't expect that Jiang Yue used the token to buy things.

In the next few days, Jiang Yue toured the capital. One day, she wanted to go out of the city for a walk. She heard that there was a bamboo forest and a famous Taoist temple there. She decided to go out and take a look. She took a carriage to the outside of the city. The bamboo forest was lush and green, and the breeze made a rustling sound. As she was strolling among them, she met a little girl about seven or eight years old wearing a tattered Taoist robe.

After seeing Jiang Yue, she ran away in a hurry. Jiang Yue was quite puzzled. She had changed her clothes specially because she wanted to visit her in the Taoist temple today. Normally, people in the Taoist sect would be able to tell the difference at a glance. So how could she just run away without even saying hello? This was generally impossible, as Jiang Yue's master had taught her this when she was a child.

However, Jiang Yue did not think much about it at this time. It was possible that the child had social anxiety and did not like strangers. After walking out of the bamboo forest, Jiang Yue saw the Taoist temple halfway up the mountain. After finding the route to the mountain, Jiang Yue set out to climb the mountain. The mountain was not steep, so it was easy to climb. The height was much lower than Jiang Yue's Taoist temple.

When entering the Taoist temple, Jiang Yue thought it was a female Taoist because she had a preconceived notion because of the little girl she had just seen. She was a little surprised to see that it was an old Taoist priest who came out. After greeting, paying respects and burning incense, they started chatting. She was very happy that Jiang Yue came from afar to visit the old Taoist priest.

"Haha, I haven't seen fellow Taoists from other places for a long time. The last time was a few years ago."

"Brother, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the Taoist temple is peaceful and harmonious, which is very attractive."

"Fellow Daoist, do you have anything else to do besides offering incense and visiting?"

Jiang Yue then told him about his travels to many places and how he just went there casually. As they were chatting, Jiang Yue suddenly caught a glimpse of the little girl hiding behind a pillar and peeking.

The old Taoist priest followed her gaze and laughed, "Don't be surprised, Taoist friend. This girl was originally the daughter of a wealthy family in the city. Unfortunately, something happened to her family, and then rumors spread that this girl was doomed to be unlucky. Her family members didn't want to raise her, and when the girl was trying to commit suicide, I happened to see her, so I took her to the mountain."

"I see. I met her once at the foot of the mountain. I thought she was Brother Dao's apprentice, so I was a little surprised when I saw Brother Dao."

"So that's how it is." The old Taoist stroked his beard and put aside his doubts. So that's how it is. No wonder Jiang Yue looked surprised when he first saw him.

While the two were talking, the person left again. Jiang Yue looked in the direction the child left, thoughtfully. When she came to her senses, she saw the old Taoist priest looking at her. Jiang Yue smiled and didn't say much, and the two started chatting again.
