1. Nine-tailed cat

"Boss, come to get a double happiness." A man knocked on the glass and threw ten yuan on the table outside the window.Then he quickly put his hands back into his pockets, and cursed in a low voice: Hiss...the weather is so bad, why does it feel colder than when we went out.

After a while, the small glass window was pulled open from the inside.He stretched out a hand with distinct but too white bones, and pushed out a box of Double Happiness, with three coins neatly stacked on it.As if feeling the chill outside, the hand trembled a little, then quickly pulled the crumpled ten yuan in, and closed the glass window.

The man outside put the coins in his pocket, took out a lighter, lit up a cigarette while trembling, took two quick sips, rubbed his hands and walked out of the alley.

After leaving the alley, the man suddenly felt much warmer.So he broadened his shoulders and looked back subconsciously. The convenience store where he bought cigarettes just now opened alone in a deep alley, and there was a somewhat worn-out sign beside him.

The man narrowed his eyes: "—is there a convenience store? Tsk, what the hell name."

But the man didn't stop any longer, turned around and threw the torn cigarette paper, strode away with the cigarette in his hand, thinking to himself: Sure enough, smoking a cigarette will make you feel much warmer.

However, he didn't see that the moment he turned around, the glass window of the convenience store was opened again, and the pale hand pushed out a cup of hot tea, and then the hot tea disappeared in the air little by little.The last hand took the glass in and closed the glass window.

And if the man looked at the sign carefully, he would find a row of small characters next to it:

——"There is a convenience store here, please don't come again if you have nothing to do."

-

"Knock, knock..." The glass window was knocked, but the sound was very subtle, like tapping lightly with the tip of a fingernail.

But there was no response from inside for a long time, so the sound of knocking became a little hurried.

"Meow... Meow..." It turned out to be a white cat squatting on the outer eaves of the convenience store window, scratching the glass with its paws.

The people inside seemed to hesitate when they heard the meowing, and then opened the window, but——

With a "boom", the originally small cat turned into the size of a tiger:

"As expected, you can see me." It was a somewhat deep voice.

The hand that was still on the glass window quickly tried to pull the glass up, but was held down by a huge paw:

"do not move."

The people inside paused for a moment, then put down their hands, leaving some gaps in the glass window. After a while, a slightly cold voice came out:

"What do you want to do."

The big white cat let out a breath of white air, and stuck its pink nose to the glass window: "Give me a cup of tea, it's too cold in your world, but don't use boiling water, I'm a little afraid of being scalded."

The people inside hesitated for a moment, and then heard the sound of getting up and the chair being pushed away.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and a glass of water was handed out from the window, with a little steam on it.

The white cat, as big as a tiger, assumed human form, a man.On one side of the face, there seemed to be strange lines painted with cinnabar, and a pair of eyes were still like cat's eyes, with the pupils narrowed into a slit.The one on the left is ginger yellow, while the other is azure blue.

The white clothes on his body were somewhat exaggerated. The sleeves of the robe had saw collars, and there were many red knots hanging from the girdle, while a fur cloak that almost dragged the floor was draped over it.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the cup, revealing half of his wrist, which was covered with white hair, the nails were very sharp and the ends were slightly raised inwards.

He drank slowly, as if he was afraid that the water would splash on himself.It took a long time for a cup of tea to bottom out.He sighed lightly, and the white mist breathed on the glass, leaving small shallow marks.

"Can I go in? I won't hurt you."

"What are you doing?" the person inside asked.

"I want to entrust you to give something to someone." As he spoke, he took out a short piece of fluffy thing from his arms, "I can grant you one wish."

"I have no wish."

The people outside were stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "He also said that at the beginning..." There seemed to be a long silence in his words.

"You... come in." The person inside hesitated for a long time, and finally opened the door a little, "What's your name?"

"You can call me Bai Jiu."

Bai Jiujin maintained his human form and walked into the convenience store.The light was very dim, but for Bai Jiu, he could see more clearly.His pupils dilated a little, and he saw a handsome man sitting a few steps away from him.

There was no expression on the man's face, his eyes were fixed on him, without revealing any emotion, his whole body stood like a stone in the darkness.The man was wearing a light coffee-colored loose sweater with long cuffs covering half of his fingers. His hair covered his ears and lay limply against his face, as if wrapping the stone statue softly. some.

"I just want you to give this thing to someone," Bai Jiu took out the small piece of white fluff, and took two steps forward, "He..."

However, as soon as Bai Jiu got closer, he felt a very strange force, but although this power is powerful, it will not hurt anyone. Bai Jiu squinted his eyes calmly, and continued: "He is here with you. Second Hospital, Ward 2A-503."

Bai Jiu came here precisely because he sensed that there was a person with yin and yang eyes nearby, but he didn't expect that this person was not Mr. Yin and Yang, which was exactly what he wanted.That's why he didn't hesitate to blow the cold wind outside for a long time, and entrusted the matter to this person.But...how could a young man with only yin and yang eyes have such strange power?

The young man stood up and took the things in Bai Jiu's hand.Although it looks like a small piece of fluffy thing from a distance, when you hold it in your hand and take a closer look, it looks like a miniature version of a cat's tail. It is thin and long, and the hair at the end of the tail is also extraordinarily soft.

The young man seemed to feel that it felt good in his hand, so he played with it in his hand, and squeezed the soft tip of the tail from time to time.

Bai Jiu stood aside and watched, feeling pain in the flesh... That is an auspicious talisman I made from my own spiritual power, don't trample on it like this! !Moreover, is it really good for you to act like a child with that stone-carved face on your face? !

But Bai Jiu felt that he was entrusted to others, so he just coughed lightly and said:

"Please send this to the place I mentioned, that person's name is Bailu."

"Why?" The young man stopped what he was doing and looked at Bai Jiu.

"The man is sick. This is an auspicious talisman, which can protect his health." Bai Jiu explained.

"But why?" The young man continued to ask.

Bai Jiu was taken aback for a moment, is this going to ask the end?This story is too long and too long... Only he has experienced life after life over and over again, always hovering by that person's side, and even he himself can't tell where it all starts.

So Bai Jiu walked into the room, sat next to the electric heater, and took off his coat. Only then did the young man realize that there were nine cat tails protruding from Bai Jiu's tailbone and hanging down to his ankles under the thick fur cloak. .

Seeing the young man staring at his tail tightly, Bai Jiu chuckled softly: "As you can see, I am a nine-tailed cat."

"Do you know that everything in the world can be cultivated into an immortal?" Bai Jiu sat down and asked the young man.

The young man also sat back on the chair, took the teacup and held it in his hand, without opening his mouth, just looked at Bai Jiu, as if he just wanted to hear him continue talking.

"Our cats, eight tails are demons, and nine tails are immortals. But this last tail is not obtained by cultivation, but to satisfy a wish of human beings. But in order to satisfy human wishes, we have to remove one of our own. .So this is an endless loop." Bai Jiu leaned against the stove again, with most of her body stuck to it, and then she narrowed her eyes, feeling much warmer.

"I have heard too many wishes, human beings have too many desires, money, longevity, power and love. I don't know what the meaning of this kind of cultivation is, but Xiandao keeps saying 'you will know when you meet', so I wandered around the world For hundreds of years, I just wanted an answer. Until I met him."

"He was just a child in that life. When he saw me, I asked him what his wish was, just like what I had done hundreds of years ago. But he said that he had no wish."

"How can a person have no wish, so I continued to press him, but he just said to me with a smile, 'Why don't you go home with me first, and I'll tell you when I think about it', I don't know why, so I So go home with him."

"He always teased me like a stray cat, what a ball of foxtail wool, really stupid. So I thought, I'd better go away, children are really troublesome. But he seemed to sense my dissatisfaction, so he hugged me He watched me bask in the sun, and apologized carefully while grooming me. So I forgave him, and you see, we cats don’t hold grudges.”

"I just stayed with him like this for a year. The fireplace in his house in winter is much warmer than these things in your world." Bai Jiu said so, but hugged the electric heater more presumptuously.

"But one day, he suddenly asked me 'whether all wishes can come true', I thought at the time, it's finally coming, yes, how can people have no wishes. But somehow, it's different from before, this time , I was a little lost."

"He picked me up, made me look at his eyes, and he said, 'Well, my wish is that you can grow a ninth tail'."

"Before I could react, I was back to my original shape. Oh, the one you just saw. Then I found out that I had a ninth tail. I wanted to say something to him, although I didn't know what to say , Human language is really too troublesome. When I finally decided what to say, I found that I had already ascended, and the fairy voice said, 'The child, I can no longer see you.'”

"When I saw him for the last time, I thought he was crying. You see, how can people not have wishes, or else, how could they cry. But I can no longer fulfill his wishes."

Bai Jiu sighed for a long time, then lowered his head: "Originally, the story of the nine-tailed cat should end here. It's the same legend in your world, but, to me, this is just the beginning ah."

"I don't know why, but I, the Fairy Queen, always miss him. I feel that I must fulfill one of his wishes. So after he was reincarnated, I abolished my cultivation and returned to the world. But his wish But I still hoped that I would grow a ninth tail. So like this, I chased him life after life, and I saw him when he was young, when he was young, when he was young, and even when he was old.”

"I asked him 'what is your wish', and he said 'I don't have any wish, or... I will tell you when I think about it'. So the story repeated over and over again."

"In this life, his name is Bai Lu. I don't want to abolish my cultivation anymore, and I don't want to ask his wishes anymore. In this world, I've really had enough."

The young man sat on the chair, still holding the teacup in both hands, listened quietly, and then opened his mouth and said:

"So, why?"

-

Bai Jiu flicked his tail a little irritably: "Didn't I say everything just now, that's it, you—"

"You... stay away from the electric heater, okay?" The young man interrupted Bai Jiu, bent his knees, shrank his feet in woolen socks to the chair, clasped his knees with both hands, and rested his chin on them, " You are hugging too tightly, the heating cannot come through, and I am a little cold."

Bai Jiu: "..." Are all human beings so unlovable nowadays?

Bai Jiu reluctantly moved his butt, still complaining in his heart, but at this time the young man rarely took the initiative to speak:

"Why don't you give it to him yourself." The young man's voice didn't fluctuate, not even a question, just stating a certain fact.

Bai Jiu was stunned, yes, in fact, he himself could give it to Bai Lu himself, it's not that he can't transform into a human form... But for some reason, he always had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't see Bai Lu, otherwise... ...what else?He didn't know either, but he believed that as a cat, his intuition was always accurate.

"Anyway, I just can't see him." Bai Jiu turned his head away and said in a muffled voice.

"En." The young man didn't continue to ask, he stretched out his hand, and turned the wooden sign hanging on the glass window to the other side.Then he stood up, took an old flip phone from the table, wrapped himself in a gray scarf, and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Seeing that the young man seemed to be leaving, Bai Jiu quickly stood up.

The young man turned his head and shook the cat-tail auspicious amulet twice.

Bai Jiu understood that the young man was going to find Bai Lu.Well, that's the end of it.I will never use it in the human world again, and I can be a fairy with peace of mind.But the moment the young man pushed open the door, he almost subconsciously shouted:

"Wait a moment……"

The young man turned his head and looked at Bai Jiu.

Bai Jiu didn't know what he wanted to say, so he opened his mouth and asked dryly, "What's your name?"

"Shiyu." The young man closed the door, and the room was pitch black.Bai Jiu leaned back next to the electric heater again, pulling the knot on her waist belt thoughtfully.

2. Nine-tailed cat

Shi Yu walked out of the alley and checked the Second Hospital with his mobile phone.Then I stopped a car, showed the address on the phone to the driver, covered half of my face in the scarf, sat in the back seat, and continued to concentrate on pinching the small half of the cat's tail.

The taxi stopped at the main entrance of the hospital, Shi Yu got out of the car, and walked directly to Wenxun Taiwan:

"2A-503, where is it?"

The nurse there pointed to him: "The entrance over there, go through to Building 2, and take the elevator to the fifth floor, which is the inpatient department."

Shi Yu looked at the direction the nurse was pointing with some doubts, and wanted to open his mouth to ask, but was squeezed away by the people behind.

Shi Yu walked a little forward in the direction the nurse just pointed at, but when he felt that it was almost where the nurse said, what he saw was the men's toilet.Although he had some doubts in his heart, he still went in, but inside... there was really no other entrance...

So Shi Yu had no choice but to stand at the door of the men's toilet, looking at the sign.

Just when Shi Yu was about to go back to the information desk and ask again, a boy in a patient suit patted him on the shoulder:

"Can't you find your way?"

"En..." Shi Yu nodded, clutching the cat's tail in his hand.

"Ha..." The young man saw someone making such a small gesture with no expression on his face, so he laughed lightly, "Where are you going, I'll take you there."

"2A-503."

"What a coincidence?" the boy said in surprise, "I'm from 503. In our ward, it's too annoying to only eat nutritious meals every day, so I sneaked down to buy a chicken leg to eat. Don't talk nonsense with the nurse when you get to the ward later." oh."

"It's too obvious." Shi Yu said suddenly.

The boy froze for a moment: "What?"

"Oil."

The boy seemed to have suddenly realized, and quickly licked his shiny lips: "Hehe, thank you."

Shi Yu didn't say any more, but just followed the boy all the way to the ward.

"Speaking of which, whose family are you, I haven't seen you before." The boy lay back on his bed and asked Shi Yu who was still standing at the door.

"Bailu."

"Hahaha," the boy laughed, "quickly stop making trouble, I don't remember having a relative like you."

Shi Yu pursed her lips, walked to the juvenile's hospital bed, and put the cat-tail auspicious amulet on his bedside:

"There is someone, entrust me to you."

The boy was stunned for a moment, picked up the auspicious talisman, and swept it in the palm of his hand: "Eh? What's his name?"

"Bai Jiu."

"Hmm...why don't I remember..." The boy frowned in confusion.

"This is for health." Shi Yu said suddenly.

"Healthy..." The boy held it up and shook it in front of his eyes, then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "This is so cute."

"En. Very soft." Shi Yu originally planned to turn around and leave just like that, but Bai Lu stopped him.

"Hey, don't go, I don't have anything here, take this pendant as a gift in return." Said Bai Lu took out a fur ball hanging chain from the drawer, "It's not a good thing either, a few days ago I did it myself when I was bored."

Shi Yu took the fur ball and held it softly in his hands, with a slight itchiness in his palms.

"Thank that person for me." Bai Lu said with a smile.

Shi Yu seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Have you heard of a nine-tailed cat?"

"The cat that can grant wishes? I heard the story when I was a child, and I still remember a little bit."

"If you are, what wish do you want to make?"

"Well..." Bai Lu thought for a while, and said jokingly, "If you have to make a wish, then I hope he can grow a ninth tail."

Shi Yu felt a strange feeling in his heart, which he couldn't describe himself, as if something had cracked a little, so he continued to ask:

"why?"

"Why..." Bai Lu raised his chin and shook his body, "Look, he has helped so many people realize their wishes, so someone must help him."

Shi Yu didn't speak anymore, he just felt the hair ball rolling over his skin.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Bai Lu looked at Shi Yu strangely.

"Well...it's okay. Goodbye." Shi Yu turned and left the ward.

After leaving the hospital, Shi Yu wrapped the scarf again, and conveniently stuffed the fur ball into the interlayer of the scarf which was wound around.

Bai Jiu felt as if he had been waiting for a long time, so long that he thought the electric heater was overheating, and the door was finally pushed open.

Shi Yu walked in with a chill, so Bai Jiu, who had just disliked the overheating of the stove, quickly posted it again.

"Here you are." Shi Yu took off the scarf and threw the fur ball into Bai Jiu's arms.Then he also rubbed against the stove and warmed his hands.

"What is this?" Bai Jiu raised the fur ball with his nails in disgust.

"Thank you."

"Tsk, it's been hundreds of years, why does this person still like to give this thing away," Bai Jiu said, but gently wrapped one of his tails around the fur ball.

Shi Yu continued to warm his hands without speaking.

The two sat around the electric heater for a long time in silence, and finally Bai Jiu couldn't help but ask:

"Did he say anything..."

"He still wants you to grow a ninth tail." Shi Yu raised his head, looked at Bai Jiu and said.

"Who told you to ask him?" Bai Jiu flicked his tail angrily, and the nine tails thumped on the floor.

Shi Yu didn't speak any more, and the sound of the beating gradually subsided, until finally only the tips of those tails were raised upwards, shaking slightly.Bai Jiu pinched the fur ball and said to herself, seemingly naturally:

"He must be the stupidest human being..."

Bai Jiu took the fur ball to the tip of his nose, rubbed it lightly, and then couldn't help but sneezed.

Shi Yu had almost warmed his hands, so he stood up, went to the kitchen to heat a glass of milk, and unpacked a bag of bread from the shelf.Sitting back in his chair, he ate bit by bit.He stretched out his hand, trying to turn over the sign on the convenience store window, but when he touched the glass, he shrank his hand.Then he put his face on the glass and said softly:

"It's snowing." A small cloud of mist remained on the glass.

Bai Jiu moved her tail, stood up, and looked out.

This snow is not small.

"It's snowing heavily, you can leave tomorrow." Shi Yu took the clean milk cup and put it back in the kitchen, then took a book, and moved the chair to the electric heater to read.

"When did you open your yin and yang eyes?" Bai Jiu stroked the fur ball, feeling more and more irritable in her heart, so she simply spoke up.

"I don't remember." Shi Yu put down the book.

"Is there no one in your family who is an exorcist or Mr. Yin Yang?"

"I have no family..." Shi Yu picked up the book again.

Although for demons or immortals, there is no concept of family.The road to cultivating immortals is long and boundless, how long can family members stay with them during this period of time.But Bai Jiu knows that for human beings, family seems to be a very important thing.So Bai Jiu said in a low voice:

"Feel sorry……"

Shi Yu didn't speak, just moved his body to show that he heard it.Bai Jiu didn't speak any more, just huddled next to the stove, dangling the fur ball with his tail.

Shi Yu didn't close the book until before going to bed.Then he opened his mouth and said:

"Will it hurt to abolish one-tailed cultivation?"

"Of course it hurts. It's like removing a bone." Bai Jiu's hair trembled, the pain is very clear now that he thinks about it.

"Then why do you have to do this in every life of his. If you become an immortal, most of your wishes can be realized with immortal art."

"I..." Bai Jiu was dumbfounded, yes... I am in the fairy class and have powerful spells, healthy money and power, and I just need to lose some spiritual power to satisfy him... But, I would rather abolish myself and make a living again. Demon, come back to him.

"It turns out that you monsters also have emotions." Shi Yu's tone was still so lukewarm, but for some reason, this sentence seemed a little bit lost, "Close the door tightly when you leave tomorrow."

After speaking, Shi Yu went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Bai Jiu was stunned, emotion...is this emotion...he touched his chest, it was warmed by the stove.

Why did I do this for hundreds of years... Bai Jiu squinted her eyes, recalling the details of how they got along in every life before Bai Lu, that person always seemed to like to tease herself with fur balls , when that person smiles, his eyes will narrow, that person's body is warm and comfortable in winter, that person...why didn't he make a wish to keep me...

Bai Jiu's heart suddenly seemed to be shattered by something. It turned out...was this the reason for everything he did in the past few hundred years?

Yeah... I just want to stay by his side.Even if he is not a fairy, even if he cannot transform into a human form, even if he will always be a cat demon in his eyes, he still wants to stay by his side.It's all because it's so warm around that person...

Bai Jiu stood up, looked out the window, but hesitated for a moment, then teleported to Bai Lu's hospital bed with the immortal technique.

Bai Jiu carefully put away his nails, stretched out his hand to touch the sleeping young man, and then his strange eyes softened, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a slight smile: Sure enough, no matter how many times you reincarnate, as long as you see this person, you can't leave him. opened.

It wasn't until the sky turned pale that Bai Jiu reluctantly returned to the convenience store.Shi Yu was in a deep sleep, he walked lightly to Shi Yu's bedroom, and looked at the deserted room.Then drew a magic circle, and the light was everywhere, and his human body became more and more transparent:

"In this world, I only hope that he will always owe me a wish, and others will forget it. So I cut off my own cultivation, in exchange for the person you are destined to appear as soon as possible. I hope you have a family and a happy life."

-

At the same time, in a distant place, someone seemed to have sensed something, opened his eyes slightly, and then exhaled a puff of smoke: "Finally found you..."

-

Shi Yu woke up and found that Bai Jiu was no longer there.He pushed open the door, the heavy snowfall last night had stopped, and the whole alley was quiet.

Shi Yu put the convenience store stand sign that was put away yesterday back to the door, and the snow covered the bottom of the bracket lightly.He squatted down, trying to sweep the snow away to prevent it from freezing.However, his movements stopped for a moment——

On the surface of the snow, there is a series of shallow cat paw prints, extending to the entrance of the alley.

——"There is a convenience store here, please don't come again if you have nothing to do."

All stories have just begun.

3. Wash the golden bird

Shi Yu has no impression of his parents, as if he grew up in an orphanage as long as he can remember.

He didn't remember when he was able to see things that ordinary people couldn't see.Since he was a child, he was not very good at communicating and contacting people too much. For a long time, he thought that the world in the eyes of others was no different from himself.

Until one time, the old director of the orphanage sat beside him and asked:

"What do you sit here and watch every day?"

He pointed to the butterfly not far away: "A lot of butterflies are flying."

"Silly boy, how can there be any butterflies?"

"But," Shi Yu pointed again, those butterflies were there almost every day, and the colorful ones were much more beautiful than those in the books, "there really are."

He still remembered that the old dean's expression suddenly changed, with some horror, and then said:

"Kid, don't talk nonsense." Then he left.

After that, Shi Yu gradually realized that some of the things he saw were not for everyone.As he grew older, he learned from books that he seemed to have the so-called "yin and yang eyes".

Some so-called invisible things are not very different from the real world unless you carefully distinguish them.Shi Yu's nature is relatively cold, and because of his "yin and yang eyes", he has made several misunderstandings, so he is even more reluctant to have too much contact with people.

After completing his studies with the help of the orphanage, he simply opened a convenience store to make ends meet.

But there are always some inhuman things looking for him. Although Shi Yu doesn't dislike these inhuman things, perhaps these things have spent more time with him than people in these years.But there will be some evil spirits after all, especially on darker days.

So Shi Yu learned some demon-eliminating techniques by himself, and put a barrier on his house to isolate non-human things. Unless he opened the door from the house, those things would not be able to enter.

Maybe he was lucky, but he really hasn't been haunted by evil spirits in the past two or three years.Occasionally, some little monsters would come to the door, and if it wasn't too troublesome, he would also help a little.But he didn't want to have more contact with them, just like the sentence written on the door sign of his convenience store——

"If nothing happens, please don't come again."

That's how he lived his life, he wasn't good at getting close to people, and he didn't get attached to ghosts either.Shi Yu doesn't know what he wants, and his relatives and friends seem to be far away from him.Occasionally watching TV, those people have experienced ups and downs, and the way they have tasted all kinds of things in the world makes many people's eyes turn red with sighs, but Shiyu doesn't feel much when watching it.

Joy, anger, sadness are all the same.Shi Yu couldn't explain why, he didn't seem to understand these ordinary emotions very well, he didn't like anything, and he didn't dislike it very much.Except for the hot milk at night and the heating in winter that make him feel satisfied, as long as he can still make ends meet, he doesn't have much desire for anything else.

"Well...wish?" The end of the year is approaching, Shi Yu muttered to himself while watching the colorful New Year's wishes on TV, or the advertisements of happy family.

Thinking of Bai Jiu a few days ago, Shi Yu suddenly felt that it might be good to have a cat. Anyway, it is neither human nor demon, which saves a lot of trouble. The most important thing is... the tail is quite soft.

Shi Yu felt a little hungry, walked to the shelf, and found that there was only one buttery bread left.It's a pity that the delivery person won't come until the morning after tomorrow. If you eat it today, it will be gone tomorrow night.

Just as Shi Yu was hesitating whether to eat the bread today or tomorrow, a "haha" sound came from the glass window.

He leaned in front of the window and rubbed it twice with his fingers to wipe off the mist on it.It turned out to be a bird standing on a ledge outside the window.

Shiyu has never seen a bird like this before. It is the size of an ordinary domestic bird, but it looks more like a sparrow. The whole body is goose yellow, and the feathers on the body are slightly puffed up.There also appeared to be something hanging from one of the bird's feet.

Shi Yu opened the glass window a little, and the bird fluttered its wings as if it couldn't wait to come in through the window, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Are you a demon?" Although it was a question, Shi Yu's tone could not hear any question, as if he was just stating a fact.

The bird shook its body, seemed a little surprised, but quickly folded its wings and said, "I just want to find a place to rest, and I will repay you."

Shi Yu pursed his lips, pointed in the direction of the outer door with his finger, and then pulled up the glass window.

When he opened the door, the bird flew in and landed on the handle of his chair. Its feathers were fluffed up, and it looked chubby when it squatted on the handle of the chair. Only one tail feather was drawn out very long:

"Thank you for taking me in, and I will repay you."

Shi Yu shook his head, saying that he didn't need to repay.

"Whatever you feed me, I can spit out more."

"Really?" Hearing this, Shi Yu raised his eyebrows a little, then walked to the shelf, picked up the butter bread just now, opened the package, broke a small piece and put it in his hand, "Then can you Make this bread two?"

"What?" The bird couldn't believe it. Shouldn't it be feeding itself gold and silver coins at this time so that it can spit out more money... just like... those greedy humans before.

"I can only spit out gold and silver coins," the bird saw that Shiyu seemed to be serious. Although he was surprised, he also explained, "I am a gold-washing bird. I can spit out gold after the solar eclipse of gold and silver jewelry before I was alive. A demon queen only needs to swallow a little gold and silver to spit out a lot of treasure."

When Shiyu heard it said that it could only spit out gold coins, he regretted that he opened the bread in his hand today, but after hesitating for a while, he finally went to heat another glass of milk, took the bread and shrank back to the chair, and then put the previous one A small piece of bread was placed in front of the golden bird:

"Is that bread edible?"

Shu Jinniao froze for a moment, not to mention the demon queen, even before, its owner fed it with pearls, jade, gold and silver.It was originally born in the South China Sea, and was later captured and paid tribute to the royal family and nobles.

His master is a wealthy young man, so he treated him very well in the beginning.It is afraid of frost and snow, so his master built him a shelter from the cold, wind, wind, dust and fog. It likes luxury, so that person made him drink turtle brains and eat pearls.

The gold he spit out is called cold-proof gold, and women can win men's favor by wearing it.At that time, in the capital, the cold shelter money he spit out was really hard to find.

Thinking about it, it seems that it has never eaten the food of these humans.So the gold-washing bird hesitated to peck it with its beak, it was very soft, different from those pearls, gold and silver.

It can't describe what it tastes like, anyway, it has never been experienced before.This taste, it seems... It also gives it a little joy.

It's been a long time, but——

Shu Jinniao only pecked a little, then looked up at Shiyu and said:

"If you don't have gold and silver, I still have a small piece of gold on my feet. You untie it and feed it to me, and I will spit out more gold in return for you."

Shi Yu bit the bread, looked at the yellow hairball who was talking to himself, hesitated a little and said:

"If you want to repay me, why don't you let me touch it?"

Shu Jinniao: "...??"

Shi Yu didn't wait for it to agree, so he stretched out a finger and poked the golden bird standing on the handle of the chair.As if once was not enough, I poked it several times in a row.Then eat the last bite of bread with satisfaction.Thinking in my heart, the hair of the yellow dumpling is really soft.

Shu Jinniao, who had been poked several times, saw Shi Yu standing up before he realized what happened.

"You can rest here and close the door gently when you leave."

After speaking, Shi Yu went back to the room and closed the door.
