Ming Yu

For many days, Ziyang was dizzy all over.

That day, he followed Brother Shenxian to a place called Chalcedony Palace. Everything here made him feel extremely novel, completely different from the world he grew up in.

In this magical place, he is like a dream every day, his body is up and down, his head is his head, his feet are his feet, his hair is slippery, and his clothes are tight; The adze pointed little shoes are under the feet, the small appearance should be more airy, how airy it is.

Looking at the beautiful big sister who kept wandering around the room, Ziyang tugged at the hair that had just been smoothed with his small hands, "Auntie, that... that... Nian, Nian Su... brother..."

Xinfang stopped the buddy in her hand, looked back and exclaimed, "Oh, I said little ancestor. You can't catch it, the bun you put on with so much difficulty, it looks like it's going to be messed up again."

"But...but...I..."

She quickly came to the bed, pulled off Ziyang's annoying little hands, amused and angry, "Don't worry, you want to find our young master, right? Just say it and it's over, there's no need to make trouble with your bun."

The eldest girl Xinfang turned her head and looked out of the window with a smile on her face, "At this time, our young master must be talking to my master in Peach Blossom Valley to relax, and he won't be back for a while. If you are hungry, Shall I get you some sweet cakes to pad your tummy?"

"I want... want to see... a pumpkin." Zi Yang's little head drooped immediately, and his voice was as loud as a mosquito.

Seeing his dejected expression, Xinfang couldn't bear it, and went up to hold his little hand, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there for a walk, but you must promise me that I will never run around and talk loudly , be careful to startle the master, let's take a look at it from a distance and come back, shall we?"

Thinking of seeing the "wagwa" that Hua Niansu retrieved not long ago, Ziyang's eyes were as bright as black gemstones, the tip of his little nose was slightly raised, and he was so excited that he almost fell off the couch.

The deep blue sky is as blue as if washed by rain.

Everything in the mountains is silent, and the dripping springs leaking from the cracks in the rocks are as clear as plucked strings.

Xinfang took Ziyang to walk in the emerald green forest, listening to the melodious birdsong, Ziyang felt very happy, and couldn't help but quicken his pace a lot.

Passing around a swaying peach blossom grove, Ziyang felt his eyes suddenly opened up. He saw a waterfall going down the steep wall, sparking a deep pool of water, white mist rising like a brass pipe!

Shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him, Ziyang's eyes widened and he stopped, but Xinfang pulled him behind a stone wall and hid his figure.

He looked up at Xinfang, seeing her motioning him to keep quiet, he followed her gaze into the depths of the waterfall suspiciously.Not far away, just under the thousand feet of white training, he saw that familiar figure.

Dressed in white, Hua Niansu shook off the warm fur in her hands, and gently put it on someone's body. There was a trace of helplessness in her eyes, but she couldn't hide her admiration. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was squatting on a rock in fear of being disturbed. A gray-haired man working on something.

Because they were too far away, Ziyang couldn't see their expressions clearly, and he didn't know what Hua Niansu said to the gray-haired man on the rock, but he helped the man to sit up, bent over and took off a pair of cloth boots on his feet , lowered his head and scooped some clean water with his hands, and washed the mud off his feet little by little.

But the man was restless for a moment, twisting his body and continuing to fiddle with something in his hand, shaking his head and muttering something, as if he didn't notice Hua Niansu's movements.

"Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot..."

A familiar cry came to Ziyang's ears, he couldn't hold back his excitement anymore, he broke away from Xinfang's hand, and ran out from behind the secluded stone wall!

"Who? Who's there?!"

Hua Niansu frowned, her tone was obviously a little unhappy, but her face softened when she saw Ziyang who staggered towards her like a calf.

"Pumpkin..."

Panting, Ziyang stopped in front of the two of them, staring nervously at the gray-haired man on the rock holding his family's 'Pumpkin' in his arms, for fear that he would harm Fat Bird.

"Who are you...?" The gray-haired man hugged the fat partridge even tighter, but he was even more nervous than him. He took two steps back and looked at him defensively, "You are... Iron Dan friend?"

Ziyang was taken aback for a moment, and now he had the time to look at the man in front of him, secretly marveling in his heart.

I saw the gray-haired man on the rock with sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, tall and tall, young and handsome, but with a dull expression on his face, his eyes seemed a little dull, his clothes were soaked through, and his trouser legs were rolled up high. From the knees to the toes are covered with mud, as if just got up from the mud, and the tips of the hair are covered with sweat.

Ziyang clenched his fists, looked at Hua Niansu anxiously, and kept his mouth shut.

Hua Niansu was amused, smiled slightly, stepped forward and rubbed Ziyang's head lightly, and said, "This dress fits you well, and your hair is well combed."

Ziyang raised his head, blushing like a ripe peach, stammering: "My sister combed my hair for me, I don't know how to..."

Hua Niansu looked up at Xinfang who was standing in the distance, and said with a smile, "Aunt Xin, I have troubled you a lot these days."

Although she is a big girl, she was also the one who watched her grow up. Hua Niansu respected Xinfang very much. She never said a harsh word to her, and always treated her with courtesy.

Xin Fang smiled, leaned slightly, saluted Hua Nian Su Yingying, and then went up to hold Zi Yang's little hand: "Young master, Mr. Zi Yang lives alone in the side hall these few days, and there is no one who can do it." Companion, I wanted to see the holy bird very much, so my servant brought him here, hoping that you will make amends."

Hua Niansu nodded, and looked down at Ziyang again, thinking that she was really careless, this child has only been in the palace for a short time, surrounded by unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar people, he must be always in fear.After I brought him back to the palace from the human world, I put him in a side courtyard and seldom visited him. I didn't know how disturbed he should be, and I immediately apologized.

"Brother put you in the side courtyard, did you not sleep well at night? You have dark circles at such a young age." Hua Niansu leaned down, looked at Ziyang, pointed at his eyes lightly, her eyes Looking at him tenderly: "Move to the main hall tonight, and you will be my brother's companion in the future."

After hearing this, Xinfang happily pulled Ziyang to salute, and urged him in a low voice: "Hurry up and thank you."

Ziyang looked up at him, and asked in a daze: "What do you mean by accompanying reading?"

Hua Niansu raised the corners of her lips, stretched out a hand towards him, and spread out: "A companion is my brother's partner. From now on, we will eat and eat together, study and learn together, are you willing?"

"So... can I sleep with my brother?"

Hua Niansu was slightly taken aback, her beautiful eyes were bent: "Well, from now on, my brother will sleep with you, so you don't have to be afraid."

Ziyang let go of Xinfang's hand, threw herself into Hua Niansu's arms, put his arms around his neck, and said in multiple voices: "I am willing, I am willing, I want to sleep with my brother."

Hua Niansu patted him on the back amusedly, she looked shy just now, but now she looks happy again, she is still a child at heart.

"Little Phoenix, who is this little Douding?"

Suddenly a gray-haired man's voice sounded behind him, Hua Niansu came back to his senses and let go of Ziyang, took his hand and turned around to face the gray-haired man, respectfully said: "Father, this is my new gift." Companion, named Ziyang, will live with us from now on."

Ziyang still looked at the man curiously, feeling uneasy for a while, it turned out that this strange person was his brother's father.

"Have you seen Xiao Feifei?" The man also looked at him curiously, scratching his ears and asked: "Have you seen our little Feifei? I lost him, and Xiao Feifei is gone!"

Ziyang looked at him in surprise, feeling a little uneasy, he didn't know who 'Little Feifei' was, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Father, Daddy will come back one day." Hua Niansu rescued him, coaxing softly.

The gray-haired man nodded, stroked the fat bird's feathers, tilted his neck and looked at the little man in front of him: "Do you know Tie Dan?"

Ziyang subconsciously looked at Hua Niansu, received his encouraging eyes, swallowed his saliva, and said courageously: "Well, one day I met it in the mountains and forests, and it was caught in a hunting net. Just let it out. 'Pumpkin' is my friend, we've always been together."

The gray-haired man looked at him seriously, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he held the fat bird in his arms in front of him, and said, "Okay then, you can touch it, its name is Iron Bird. Dan, from now on it will also be called Tie Dan, don’t make a mistake.”

"Is it your bird?" Zi Yang looked at him questioningly.

"Well, he is a descendant of Tie Dan, the grandson of his grandson, also called Tie Dan."

Hua Niansu didn't speak, but sighed helplessly. Since the fairy-monster war 16 years ago, Tie Dan disappeared, and his father seemed to have lost his soul. From then on, whenever he saw this species of bird, he would They must be brought back to the palace to be raised and named iron eggs.

Ziyang frowned, as if he had made up his mind, he stretched out his hand to touch it twice, and said solemnly: "Okay, from now on he will be called Tie Dan, please treat it well."

Hua Niansu and Xin Fang stood aside and watched very interestingly. The old and the young clapped their hands together to confirm the ownership of a fat partridge.

"Okay, lord, it's time for dinner, please go back to the palace with your servants." Xin Fang smiled and stepped forward, straightened the gray-haired man's clothes, put on clean shoes and socks, and lifted him from the rock. Up and down.

A group of four came back from the back mountain, and the sky gradually darkened, and the chalcedony palace began to light the lamps.

In the room, the gray-haired man, Hua Niansu, and the Ziyang children were having dinner around the dining table.The gray-haired man, naturally the new Demon King Junwulei, sat on the main seat, Ziyang and Hua Niansu sat on the left and right respectively, and Xinfang stood aside to serve the three of them.

Ziyang was surprised to find that Uncle Wei was holding a delicate pillow wrapped in a brocade quilt, and was feeding the pillow from time to time, eating deliciously by himself.

"Where is Xiao Feifei?" The strange uncle Jun Wulei turned his head and asked.

"Father, have you forgotten? Daddy is on a long journey." Hua Niansu replied to him very patiently, helping him to fill a bowl of soup.

After Jun Wulei got the answer, he ignored him and concentrated on feeding him with his head down.

"Su'er, good boy, take another bite of the emerald ball, open your mouth, ah—" Jun Wulei muttered something, and put an emerald green ball into the 'mouth' of the pillow.

Ziyang was dumbfounded, seeing that a quarter of the food on the table was fed into an embroidered pillow by Jun Wulei, he suddenly felt that the whole person was not well.

The pillow is specially made, with a long opening at one end, that is, the 'mouth', part of which is hollowed out, and a pocket made of waterproof oil paper is stuffed in the pillow's stomach, and the food poured in is all It is collected in this oil paper bag. If it is full, unbutton a row of buttons behind the pillow, take out the bag and replace it.

Jun Wulei lowered his head to feed the 'Su'er' in his arms, while Hua Niansu sat beside him, serving him vegetables wholeheartedly, lest he focus on 'Su'er' and forget about himself.

Ziyang was full of doubts, why did the uncle call a pillow 'Su'er', when the real son was beside him, but he turned a blind eye and only saw a dirty pillow?

At this time, Xinfang came to him to serve him soup, shook her head slightly at him, and signaled him not to ask more questions, so he put away his curiosity and ate quietly.

After a meal, the pillows were stuffed to the brim, Jun Wulei also picked up two big bowls of rice, and even Ziyang ate a bowl and a half under Xin Fang's care, but Hua Niansu ate the least. Drink half a bowl.

When tidying up the dishes, Xinfang looked at Hua Niansu with some concern: "Young master, do you have no appetite? Why do you eat so little?"

Although Hua Niansu is now the young master of the Demon Realm, as the closest person who watched him grow up, he is still used to calling him "little master" instead of the cold young master, and Hua Niansu has never let him down. They change their mouths, and the habit continues.

Hua Niansu waved her hand, and said indifferently: "The weather has been a bit hot these two days, I can't sleep well at night, and I don't have much appetite, it's okay, it will be fine in a few days."

"There are a lot of things in the imperial court, and the young master thinks too much on weekdays, so it is inevitable that his heart and lungs will not be handed over. This servant will go to the dining room to make you a bowl of mung bean and lily soup, so that you can relieve your anger."

"Alright, then there will be Aunt Lao Xin." Hua Niansu smiled slightly, looked back at Ziyang, and said: "There is no need to make the bed in the outer room, let Ziyang sleep with me at night."

Xinfang readily agreed, ordered someone to clean up the dishes and left.

After dinner, Hua Niansu helped Jun Wulei wash his hands and feet, took the pillow from his arms and put it in the cradle in front of the bed, and then coaxed him to sleep.After returning to her room at night, she saw that Xinfang had served Ziyang to take a bath and change her clothes, she climbed into the bed cleanly and got into the bed to wait for her, she couldn't help showing a soft smile.

"Hurry up and sleep, your eyes are so wide open, how can you sleep?" Sitting beside the couch, Hua Niansu couldn't help pinching Ziyang's rosy cheeks.

Ziyang saw that he hadn't changed his clothes yet, and he didn't look like he was about to go to bed, so he frowned: "Didn't brother say he wanted to sleep with me? But he changed his mind again?"

"You are young, don't frown all the time, be careful to become a little old man." Hua Niansu stretched out a finger and smoothed the word "Chuan" on his brow, "Brother still has official documents that are not too late to review, you go to bed first, brother I'll sleep with you when I'm done with my business."

"Aren't you kidding me? Lagougou."

"Well, I'm not lying to you." Hua Niansu was funny, hooked up with him, reached out and rubbed his damp hair, "Brother is here with you, close your eyes quickly, you won't grow any longer if you don't sleep Big and tall."

Having received the guarantee, Ziyang nodded obediently, lay on the bed and watched Hua Niansu get up and walk to the table, and continued to look at the piled up official documents on the table.

Putting down a booklet, Hua Niansu looked back at the couch, and sure enough, she saw Ziyang looking at her with big black eyes, frowning slightly, and urged in a low voice: "Close your eyes and count the lambs. One little sheep, two little sheep, three little sheep..."

Ziyang pretended to close his eyes, his mind was full of Hua Niansu's picturesque side face under the candlelight, his lips were lightly pursed with light pink, his wide sleeves were loosely rolled up at his wrists, revealing his slender and beautiful wrists, There is a faint luster flowing on the soft white skin, and the temperament is warm and moist like jade in a stone, even if it is ruthless, it is moving.

With Hua Niansu's softer voice next to his ears, Ziyang couldn't help but feel a light wave in his heart, he secretly opened his eyes and looked at it for a long time, before falling into a deep sleep at some point.

Putting down the last booklet, it was almost three o'clock, Hua Niansu reached out and rubbed her sore and swollen temples, got up tiredly to change clothes, and lay gently beside Ziyang.

Ziyang in his sleep felt Hua Niansu's approach, turned over and threw himself into his arms, the warm body temperature came through the thin fabric, which made Ziyang feel very at ease, and it hugged his chest comfortably.

Hua Niansu put her arms around Ziyang, let him rest on her arm, patted his back lightly, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, go to sleep."

"Brother..." Ziyang smacked his mouth twice, yawned, and fell into a deep sleep.
