little fat chirp

The last time they saw Achun and Afang, the two of them no longer remembered themselves.Dongzao had lingering fears about this, so when he went to see Achun and Afang, he hid in a corner and didn't dare to go out.

After seven years in the world, Achun and Afang are not exactly what Dongzao remembered.Ah Chun is still in Prince Jing's Mansion. She married a young man in charge of the mansion two years ago, and because of her father-in-law's convenience, she found a very leisurely job in the mansion.Now I have both children and live a very stable life.

Dongzao shyly turned into a bird, and slowly approached a tree in the small courtyard where she lived.

A little boy who was playing under the shade of a tree in the yard looked up and saw Dongzao, his eyes widened with a wow, and he pulled Ah Chun towards him and said, "Mother, there is a little bird."

Ah Chun followed the child's line of sight, and saw a round, white and fat bird carefully staring at him.

She was stunned for a moment, and she felt a sense of familiarity from nowhere.While thinking about it, the fat bird slowly landed, stopped on her shoulder, and looked at her more closely.

"If you look so chubby, why don't you call him fat." The words he said flashed through Ah Chun's mind.

I can't remember who I said it to, where and when I said it.

"Fatty...?" She blurted out in a murmur, and saw the little white bird flapping its wings before gently touching the side of her face.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp." Dongzao spat out a series of crisp words, Ah Chun didn't respond, but the childish children around her were dumbfounded.

At this time, a young man walked in from the outside, and he smiled directly at Ah Chun and said: "Today I asked Mr. Chen, what I said last time has eight parts, and there is a vacant job outside the mansion, if I can help you to come , you don’t have to be trapped in this mansion all day long, there is a small yard outside the house, and it’s very convenient for me to come in and out, when the time comes, we’ll move out by ourselves, so we won’t be crammed with our parents.”

His footsteps stopped in front of Ah Chun, and a hand hung affectionately on her shoulder.

Ah Chun said, "That's great, there's a bird here," she said, turning her head to search around, but all she saw was the picture of Dongzao spreading its wings and flying away.

"I was just going to ask if you have seen one, and I don't know why a bird looks strangely familiar."

The young man gave a low laugh, patted Ah Chun on the shoulder and went back to the house to change his clothes.

The cicadas are singing, and the summer heat is cut off by the shade of the trees.Just when Ah Chun didn't take the fat bird's sudden appearance seriously, the child beside her suddenly said in a low voice, "Mother, that bird told me just now, 'I'm relieved to see you doing well. ’ That bird can talk.”

Ah Chun stared, "When did I tell you?"

Zhitong said, "It was that time of Jiu Jiu Jiu just now."

Ah Chun rolled up his sleeves and rubbed the child's cheeks, viciously but couldn't hide the smile on his face, "You bastard, don't talk nonsense all day long, how can a bird talk?"

The childish boy stood up, clutching his cheeks, and ran to one side of the corridor to argue with his mother, "Who said no, then the stories about gods and ghosts you told me are all fake, are you lying to me?"

The sky is blue, and the crisp voices of the children in the courtyard linger.

"That bird can talk, it must be a divine bird...

That's what he said when he was 'tweeting, chirping'..."

Unlike Ah Chun, Ah Fang did not choose to stay in Prince Jing's Mansion.She had saved up silver taels for many years, and finally redeemed herself last year and became a free man.

She didn't go anywhere else, she still stayed in the capital.At first, I was short of money and didn't have much capital, so I sold what I could sell, and borrowed 20 taels of silver from Ah Chun, and made up a total of 30 taels, and found a place to live. Later, I packed up and found a small stall for food. Business.

The things she sells are big and good looking, and look clean, so in less than a year, she has almost paid off Ah Chun's debts, so that Ah Chun will not be difficult in front of her in-laws.

Unlike Ah Chun, Ah Fang gets up early and returns late, and she seems to have never thought about marriage until now.She is 22 years old now, which can be regarded as an adult among the girls in the human world.However, everyone can see her ability, so her relationship has not been broken.

When Ah Fang first left the mansion, she still wanted to go home and visit her family to see how they were doing. At that time, she still had a little money, and she didn't plan to start a business.Who would have thought that the younger brother in the family had made some money raising pigs in the early years, so he was not very enthusiastic about the elder sister who came home suddenly, so he should mention that she is not considered his own family.

It was also at that time that Ah Fang realized that her parents had passed away for a while, and she didn't even send a message to tell her about such things.

At this point, Ah Fang was disheartened, and left the house without any regrets, and settled down in the capital.

When she came out of the stall that day, she was just setting up the table and chairs. The hot water in the stove was half boiled, and the night market was not even lively yet.A handsome young man stood in front of the booth, his round eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, "Please give me two bowls of noodles with meat sauce." His tone was not as arrogant as Ah Fang expected, but very polite.

She quickly responded, quickly prepared two bowls of noodles and brought them over, only to see that there was an imposing man sitting beside the young master, who almost cooled off the hot summer day.

"Ah Fang's cooking is delicious," Dongzao said to Huai Sui in a low voice, and she quickly picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks to eat.

Ah Fang, who hadn't gone far, vaguely heard this sentence, and couldn't help being startled suddenly.She looked back at the young master in astonishment, but happened to meet the cold gaze of the man next to him.

She must have misheard, she walked a few nervous steps quickly to greet other guests who came to eat noodles.

But at this time, Ah Fang was far from expecting that these two men would become more and more strange.

The young man looked young, but he was very good at eating. He ate five bowls of meat sauce noodles in total, and his belly didn't even bulge.After eating the fifth bowl, I stood up slowly and went back to A Fang's place to stare at the noodle sign, "Is this chow mein delicious?"

A Fang looked at the boy's belly with confusion and hesitation, and answered bravely, "Yes, I put pork, vegetables, and bean sprouts. If you want, you can also put some freshly caught river prawns from the river at night."

"That's really great." Dongzao responded immediately, and stretched out his hand to make a "two", "Then please give me two bowls."

Ah Fang endured the weakness of her legs and went to prepare noodles for Dongzao.

This night, the young master was like an ancient glutton living in his body. He ate a total of ten bowls of noodles. If he put it on an ordinary person, his stomach would probably explode.However, the young master who ate noodles and soup, and sent another young man to buy candied haws on the way, was able to move freely.

Ah Fang finished all the prepared materials overnight and was about to take the stall back. At this time, she saw Dongzao slowly swaying towards her, and her heart jumped in her throat, "Young master, I have no face here."

"It's okay, I was full from the cakes just now." Dong Zao smiled nonchalantly, and then he took out a handful of broken silver and silver ingots from his purse, as if to give them all to A Fang.

Ah Fang smiled and picked the smallest one from the inside, and found a large handful of copper coins from the drawer to count for Dongzao, "It's cheap to eat noodles, don't need so many," she thought in her heart that Dongzao should be from a rich family. The young master who never spends money by himself, that's why he has no idea about money, so he couldn't help but tell Dongzao, "Many things are very cheap outside, you must not reveal your wealth in the future, so as not to be targeted by those who want to pay attention to it." gone."

"Yeah." Dong Zao pursed her lips and smiled, then answered softly, her little appearance was extremely docile and obedient.

Ah Fang saw his kind face, and then saw the cold-faced young man standing far away, so she asked the ignorant young master a few words like a sister.

Dong Zao listened all the way, and finally nodded and said, "I think you are very powerful." He touched the back of A Fang's hand with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Although there have been many small twists and turns in the middle, but the future life will be different. All right, don't be afraid."

As Dongzao said, he took out a little fat bird made of straw from his arms, and threw it to the ground for himself, and A Fang picked it up and returned it to him.

"Can I give this to you?" Dong Zao handed over the little chubby bird. The little chubby bird looked silly, it was just a child's toy.

Ah Fang took it, and didn't want to take other people's things casually, but Dongzao's eyes were too sincere, and her expression was like "I might cry if you don't want it", so she had to take the little bird.

Her eyes fell on the fat bird and lingered for a while, "It's a bit strange," Ah Fang whispered, "Why do I feel like I've seen this little bird before?"

When she raised her head and asked Dong Zao, the other party had gone nowhere, even the young man disappeared without a trace, as if she had never appeared before.

At night, she dragged her tired body back home, and was about to take out the silver in the drawer to calculate the day's entry as usual, but she couldn't help but froze when she opened the drawer.

The young master in front had a lot of silver in his hand, big and small, but he didn't know when it was put in the drawer.

This fact is strange. One day later, Ah Chun and Ah Fang met and talked about their own affairs, and at the same time they talked about the strange things they met.

Both of them were surprised when they heard about the bird, and then sighed with a smile, "Maybe it's a fate in a previous life."

"The world is subtle, who knows."

The last one to go was Ahu.

The first news I heard in the palace was that the emperor has been ill for half a year, and he has been bedridden since the beginning of the cold. The situation is very worrying.

The emperor was indeed very different from Dongzao's memory.He lost the vigor and handsomeness of his early years, and now he was lying on the dragon bed with a pale complexion, holding a book and reading very quietly.

"It's so pitiful." Dongzao whispered to Huai Sui.

Huai Sui's eyes fell on Xiao Yan, and he hummed noncommittally, but he didn't have much sympathy, instead he looked vaguely narrow-minded.

Even if they didn't come to look for Ahu, Ahu was going to try his best to find Dongzao's.

Dongzao's muddleheadedness is of no help to Xiao Yan, but his current Taoist companion is Lord Huai Sui.If he could beg him to extend Xiao Yan's life, it would be a snap of the fingers.

"Xianjun, can you," Ahu hesitated to speak, but before he could finish speaking, Huai Sui interrupted directly.

"No." Huai Sui's eyes were flat, and his voice was calm, "He is now a mortal body, you are a fox demon after all, the two invade each other, and the demonic energy entering the body for a long time must not be able to bear it, this is his destiny , can’t be changed.”

It was the first time Dongzao caught such a terrified look on Ahu's face. He seemed to be choked by someone and couldn't breathe. If I stay by my side one more day, I am willing to do anything."

Dong Zao infected Ah Hu's emotions, and felt that the emperor's appearance was very pitiful.Thinking about what he would be forced to separate from his husband-in-law one day, he felt sad, stared at Xiao Sui with watery eyes, and tugged at his sleeves.

Huai Sui glanced at him, and then showed a little helpless expression.

"Humans and demons should be in different boundaries. If you break the rules, you will have to bear the consequences," Huai Sui said, and he asked Ahu, "If Xiao Sui can live, no matter what method he uses to get you I'm sure you don't mind, do you?"

Ah Hu was originally disheartened, but when he heard this sentence, a spark of hope ignited in his eyes, "Yes! As long as Ah Yan is still by my side, no matter what he becomes, I can accept it."

Xiao Yan, who was reading quietly on the bed, had no idea that he was just a few meters away from him, and the three of them were talking about his future affiliation.

After hearing Ahu's answer, Huai Sui walked slowly towards Xiao Yan.He stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Yan's forehead, and a faint golden light was drawn from Xiao Yan's body along his fingertips.

For a moment, Xiao Yan, who was still a little angry, suddenly stiffened like a corpse, motionless, and the book in his hand fell silently on the quilt.

Huai Sui flicked his fingers lightly, the golden light leaped out and disappeared into the room suddenly.

But the emperor who was still stiff a moment ago suddenly closed his eyes and opened them again, and he came back alive, as if he had forgotten all those sicknesses.But the surprise on Ah Hu's face was fleeting, and he could feel that the Xiao Yan in front of him was no longer the Xiao Yan he knew.

"What did you do?" Ahu said in a trembling voice, rushing straight to Huai Sui, regardless of etiquette or dignity.

"Let his soul go back to where it should go," Huai Sui said, "this place is not where he belongs, probably," he calculated the time when he came to find Dongzao, and then told Ahu, " After a few hours, he will naturally come to you."

What Ahu said to Huai Sui was vague, and he didn't really understand the meaning, but it's okay if there is hope.

Dong Zao also stepped forward to pat Ah Hu on the back, and comforted him earnestly, "Ah Hu, don't be afraid, your husband will definitely come back, Ah Sui won't lie."

Ahu reluctantly gathered his broken mind together, gritted his teeth and waited.

The side effects of Xiao Yan's soul withdrawal are very obvious.Ahu immediately saw the difference that the emperor's body had changed into a soul.

Xiao Yan, who was usually too lazy to stretch his feet, went straight to the study to review the memorials as soon as he got up, carefully reading every sentence in every book.I have been busy from noon to afternoon, and even have a few bites of lunch in a hurry before giving up.

In the middle, two concubines who had never existed came to visit him. Ahu stared at him suddenly, as if he was looking at another life in Xiao Yan's life without his own.

"It's so strange," he heard the voice of Dongzao talking to Huai Sui, as if through a layer of hazy water vapor, "a person who was originally so diligent has become so lazy, this one who was originally very lazy, now suddenly becomes so diligent .”

"One yin and one yang complement each other." Huairou rubbed Dongzao's head.

Ahu sat on the spot dejectedly, bowed his head silently, his whole body was lifeless, as if all the vitality had been sucked away.

In the evening, the sun slanted westward, covering the earth with a layer of fire-like red light.

Almost when Ah Hu couldn't bear it anymore, a hurried voice came down from the sky, "I, I, I, I'm here!"

He was very familiar with the voice, and he was also very familiar with the tone. Ahu raised his head and looked along the source of the sound in disbelief, only to see a fairy with wide sleeves flying towards him without any gesture, and slid into him. hugged his waist tightly.

"As you said before, no matter what form or appearance I become, I can accept it. Now it's not worth talking."

Huai Yan's tone was sloppy.

He was full of reassuring feeling for Ah Hu, standing in front of him alive in another form.Ah Hu thought he was dreaming, so he didn't dare to hug him back for a long time.

Huai Yan then raised his head, a little afraid but didn't dare to show it, he could only ask tentatively, "Do you regret it?"

Ahu suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged Huaiyan tightly, and said with a choked voice: "You are simply hateful."

Huai Yan felt a drop of water fall on his face, which was almost unbearable for him.

The four of them left the palace together.

Except for Xiao Yan in the palace, there was no place for Ah Hu to linger at all.

"There is no question of longevity, and it doesn't matter about your evil spirit. We can always be together in the future." Huaiyan took Ahu's hand and chatted all the way, "Are you happy?"

"Happy." Ahu has a good temper, and he didn't show any displeasure at being deceived by such a sudden change. His eyes kept following Huaiyan tightly, as if he could run away without looking at him for a while. .

Seeing Huai Yan's foolishness, Huai Sui on the other side let out a low chuckle, which made Huai Yan very dissatisfied.

"Why are you laughing?" He looked at Dongzao proudly, finding a point of evidence in the other's blank gaze to refute Huai Sui, "Before I asked you to come to the mortal world to experience calamities, what are you talking about? It's so boring, give me this bird, Ahu and I will treat Dongzao well."

Huai Sui held Dong Zao in his arms, but he was not angry, and said instead: "This is indeed very interesting, but the most interesting thing is that you didn't want to be my younger brother in the heaven, but you became my nephew in the human world, a generation behind. Are you saying that you are aggrieved or are you aggrieved?"

"You're mad at me again!" Huai Yan jumped up angrily, "It's a chessboard showdown!"

The figures of the four gradually drifted away, and the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the human world seemed too insignificant in the past. They had little to do with them before, and they will become even more irrelevant in the future.

Finish.
