Ming Yu

Ever since Ziyang moved into the Chalcedony Palace and became Hua Niansu's companion, he and the demon king Jun Wulei faced each other almost day and night, and after almost burning down the house and being punished by Xiao Fenghuang for copying an entire book of poems, the two of them fell in love with each other. They quickly boarded the boat of friendship and forged a profound friendship like a revolution.

Children are supposed to be chatty, lively and playful, but Ziyang, as Hua Niansu's companion, thinks that he does not have the privilege of being naughty, so he is suffocating in his heart to grow up quickly, hoping that one day he will be recognized by his brother.At a young age, he already knows how to turn his head inward, and he is very complementary to that troublemaker Jun Wulei, who is heartless and heartless all day long. Apologize, the two of them are still and move, one old and one young, which makes people laugh.

For example, on weekdays, Little Phoenix asks Mr. Ouyang to give Jun Wulei and Ziyang assignments for reading and calligraphy, and checks before dinner every evening.The old boy held the brush, scratched his head with the pen holder for a while, licked the tip of the pen with his tongue for a while, and immersed himself in painting; Xiao Ziyang straightened his back, frowned slightly, and sat beside the old boy to copy the homework assigned by the teacher. His legs were dangling and still unable to touch the ground, and his meticulous expression made him look like a little grown-up.

When Hua Niansu walked into the study, she saw two cat faces, one big and one small, lying on the table drinking the iced sour plum soup served by Xinfang, she couldn't help but smiled knowingly.After they finished drinking, he and Xinfang each took one to wash their faces and hands, and brought them to the front to review their homework one by one.

When the question got stuck, the old boy took a peek at Ziyang behind Hua Niansu, and Ziyang knowingly began to wink, blinking his left eye is "Historical Records", blinking his right eye is "Book of Songs", cross-eyed is "Spring and Autumn", pouting It is "Zuo Zhuan", the mouth is "University", the tongue is sticking out is "The Doctrine of the Mean", and the nostrils are inserted...

For another example, sometimes when little Phoenix was out, the old boy took Ziyang kid up the mountain to steal monkey wine.As a result, he was scratched by a monkey on the mountain, and when he came back, he happily buried the wine in front of the yard, saying that Xiao Feifei loves sweet wine the most, and he wants to hide the wine for Xiao Feifei to drink.

This scene was interrupted by Hua Niansu who was returning to the palace. The old boy pointed at Xiao Douding and said, this is the milk that children drink when they grow up, not monkey wine.Ziyang drank less than half of the pot without saying a word, "Gudu Gudu", his face was hot like a ripe red fruit, and he threw himself into Hua Niansu's arms unsteadily, holding his ears and blowing softly: "A brother is better than a big girl." Beautiful, Yang'er wants to ask her brother to be his wife when she grows up.

The naive appearance of the little drunk cat was really cute, Hua Niansu couldn't hold back her smile anymore, and shook her head helplessly, so she had to carry the little guy into the room to sober up, and the crisis was resolved.

With the arrival of Ziyang, the dull atmosphere in the Chalcedony Palace was swept away, and the atmosphere became much more lively, full of laughter from time to time.The days go by so fast, and before you know it, a lot of time has passed...

In the afternoon, there was a thunderstorm, Ziyang rested his chin, and sat under the eaves watching the rain boredly, while Jun Wulei squatted in the house to play with the birds.

Recently, due to the instability of the barrier, the atmosphere in the palace is a bit dignified, and the master also stopped their studies. They were going to sneak out of the palace to play, but they were trapped in the house due to a heavy rain that they were not prepared for. A little stuffy.

After watching the rain for a while, Ziyang suddenly turned around and asked Xinfang who was tidying up the room: "Auntie, how old is brother?"

After Xinfang made the bed, she turned her head and sighed: "How old do you think the young master is?"

Ziyang thought for a while: "The master said that the life expectancy of the monster race and the human race is very different, and it is much longer than the people of the human world. My brother must be very big, otherwise how can I become the leader of all monsters and lead the entire monster race? "

Xin Fang shook her head and said, "The young master has not yet passed his 17th birthday."

Ziyang almost fell from the stone railing, he was taken aback: "Huh?"

Ordinary monsters mature at a thousand years old, and mature at two thousand years old. If there is no disaster or disease, they can live for five or six thousand years, not to mention some old monsters with powerful mana, which can almost live for tens of thousands of years. It was still in its infancy, and the mountains and plains were full of uncivilized young beasts and little monsters waiting to be fed.So in Ziyang's heart, although Hua Niansu looks young, her actual age is at least a hundred years old.

"Three years ago, at the tender age of 13, he defeated the elders of the Six Great Pavilions, and became a legendary miracle in the demon world respected by martial arts. reforms, and strive to reorganize the smoky demon realm. I know that, in fact, the young master is just to let his father wear clean clothes and eat a hot meal."

Xinfang walked to Ziyang and sat down, looking at the few banana trees in the courtyard that had been washed green by the rain, a distant smile appeared on her face, her eyes full of nostalgia.

"You probably don't know that the young master actually grew up in the human world, right? Sixteen years ago, a mysterious boy appeared at my home with the comatose master and the monk's infant young master. The man walked Lai’s right foot is a little lame, as if he was injured, he helped my family hunt enough prey for the winter, allowing us to survive the cold winter of that year.”

"At that time, the old man had just entered the village and had been in a coma. I saw that young man standing in front of the old man's bed, holding a medicine bottle in his hand, as if he couldn't make up his mind, and he hesitated for a long time before opening it. I felt strange in my heart. When he was about to ask, he put away the medicine bottle, turned around and left the house. He was kind to my family and asked us to take care of their father and son, so he left in a hurry."

Ziyang listened quietly, without interrupting her memories, and her thoughts gradually drifted away with her soothing tone.

"Young master is precocious. He learned to speak before he could even walk. He was born a very energetic child. At that time, the master was seriously ill and couldn't afford to take care of the young child. The young master, who was not as tall as the table, learned how to chop firewood. I made a fire, decocted medicine and cooked rice, sewed clothes and pants, and took care of my delirious father early on. Later, when there was a famine in those years, my parents didn’t make it through and passed away one after another. I went down the mountain with their father and son to find a way out.”

"At that time, the young master was afraid that the master would be scattered by the refugees on the road, so he tied him around his waist with a hemp rope to prevent him from leaving him for half a step. When he found a place to stay, he entrusted me to take care of my father. I went to do part-time work for rich people's servants, received some money, bought some white flour steamed buns, and I couldn't bear to eat them all, so I fed them to the master and me. Later, the famine was so fierce that the young master could no longer find a buddy. The alleys are full of hungry people, not to mention steamed buns, they even eat human flesh made of bark and clay."

Xinfang looked back at Ziyang, raised her hand and gestured twice, and said: "At that time, the young master was half a head shorter than you, so he dared to steal the military master's jerky, and was chased by a group of vicious dogs over a mountain. He was covered in blood at the time, and several pieces of flesh were torn off by his fangs on his thighs, arms, and back. I still remember that he was shaking with pain, tearing up the jerky and putting it to the master’s mouth. There's more blood bubbling out..."

At this time, she stopped, raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, finally calmed down, and then said again: "In short, the master can be said to be fed by the young master bite by bite, even though he has been crazy for so many years, even If you don’t recognize him, you will never be able to live without the young master.”

Ziyang was immersed in her narration for a long time, unable to extricate himself, and when he spoke again, there was a faint nasal voice: "Then how did you come back to Wan Yao City, why did uncle become the Demon King?"

Xinfang let out a long breath, with a complicated look in her eyes: "When the master and the young master were living in the human world, the demon realm had changed, and the Ge Laoyuan who wanted to usurp the throne sent batch after batch of masters to assassinate the orphans of the former king." , several times of secret poisoning, sneak attack and assassination, and killing people with knives made us tired of coping every day, until they finally touched the person they shouldn't touch."

"When the young master and I rushed back, the small courtyard where we lived had turned into a sea of ​​flames. The burned beam of the master hit his back. The young master was already unconscious when he rushed out of the sea of ​​fire with him on his back. There are still uneven scars on his face. That day, the young master stood in front of his father's bed and vowed with tears in his eyes that he would go to where he is today. He once told me that only by standing in that supreme position can no one If I can hurt the master, even if he is ignorant of the world and a fool all his life, I can protect him well, only do what he likes, and live a life as he pleases."

Ziyang opened his mouth, he was too surprised to speak, and after a while he said nana: "It sounds like, my brother seems to be very...very..."

"Too spoiled and indulged?" Xinfang took his words, turned her head and glanced at him, with a smile in her eyes, "Who says it's not, half of the young master has the flesh and blood of the eldest son, and his temperament and appearance are not very similar. Master, they followed the Eldest Young Master seventy to eighty percent. Their surname is Hua, if they want to pamper someone, they will definitely pamper him to heaven."

"Young master...?"

Xin Fang sighed slightly, and said: "Mr. Hua Feibai, once the number one beauty in the spiritual world who caused a sensation in the Three Realms, but conceived a child against the heavens as a man, and gave birth to the young master at the risk of his life. He was never heard from again, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then." gone."

She paused and shook her head: "However, it's all happened more than ten years ago."

Ziyang thought to himself, after so many years of being unable to find it, is it... gone?But on second thought, no news is good news.

"You also know what happened later. The young master is a descendant of the Phoenix and Fuxi clans. He inherited the blood of the gods and was born with unimaginably powerful spiritual power. However, at such a young age, his spiritual power is still stronger than before. The God of War at its peak, King Ming. Three years ago, the young master held the Jade Blood Sword and defeated the elders of the six major pavilions in the Wan Yao City. The young master has fulfilled the original oath. Everyone only said that he acted decisively and harshly at a young age, and only saw his bloody and thunderous side, but I know that he just wants to protect his most important person."

"My brother treats me...very good, very good, not scary at all." Ziyang frowned, looking at her seriously.

Xinfang was still immersed in the memories just now. When she came back to her senses, she rubbed his little head and smiled softly: "You were brought back by the young master, and you are his companion, his brother, and also him. family."

"The young master has suffered a lot, and he has shouldered too many responsibilities. He is relied on by everyone, and he has always lived for others, except for himself. He has lived too tired these years. If one day you grow up, I hope you can become his closest partner and stay by his side forever, so that he can live a little easier and be happier."

The gaze she casts on herself is a little sad, but full of expectation, Ziyang feels a kind of real warmth from the heart, which is the kindness and warmth of an elder.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor, Ziyang raised his head, Jun Wulei had already rushed to him like a whirlwind, his eyes glistened with excitement.

He held that kind of fat partridge in his arms, held it in front of Ziyang, and shouted happily at him: "Look quickly! Look!"

Ziyang glanced at Fat Bird first, then raised his eyes to look at him, wondering: "What?"

Jun Wulei approached mysteriously, her phoenix eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, her index finger and ring finger picked up the fat bird's tail feathers and gently lifted it up, revealing a round egg.

Ziyang and Xinfang looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"It was just born." Jun Wulei held the egg very preciously and dangled in front of them, with a proud look, making it clear that they should praise the egg for its beauty, "It's big, round, and pretty, right?"

The villain in Ziyang's heart was messed up in the wind.Uncle, is it really okay for you to pretend to be a bird egg with a goose egg?What's more, there are a few dangling white goose feathers stuck to the goose eggs, fluttering in the wind...

Xinfang went into the room to get a cloak and tied it for him, and coaxed him back to take a nap. The old boy danced and gestured to her about the process of laying eggs, his handsome eyes widened, and he was happy like a child.

Looking at the backs of the two people who were gradually going away, Ziyang's eyes became hot, as if there was a hot current rolling in his chest.

At that moment, he suddenly understood Hua Niansu's mood.That person is the responsibility on his shoulders, the inseparable loved one, the deep bond that flows in the blood.

He took a hard breath, stretched out his hand to cover his beating heart, the scorching heat leaked out from under his clothes, and even his fingertips began to tremble slightly...

Brother, I will protect your father and king for you in the future.

The young man's fair face was like a ray of light, sprinkled into Ziyang's heart, turning into a rippling tenderness, until many years later he returned to the human world again, returned to Yue'er Bay in the south of the Yangtze River, knelt in front of a pair of lonely graves, he Only then did I finally understand.

I also found such a person, who will never regret after ten reincarnations, and would rather bear the world than lose Qing.

It turned out that this was what he wanted, and he could devote everything to it.
