dragon pen

Zhu Jiuyin left.

Zhang Ziyao didn't know when he would come back, and he didn't know if he would come back.

Since I actually did such a stupid thing as grabbing the other party's sleeve and begging him not to leave, the most stupid thing was that the other party didn't seem to show even the slightest hesitation because of his request...so Zhu Jiuyin just left In the first few days, Zhang Ziyao was still secretly angry, thinking that if one day this lazy dragon came back with paint and begged him to paint his belly pitifully, he would have to educate and tease him severely before considering whether to agree or not——

This thought continued for about seven days.

On the seventh day, when Zhang Ziyao opened his eyes in a daze in the morning, he was surprised to find that his resentment towards Zhu Jiuyin had become less intense, and he gradually calmed down——

It is said that seven days is a cycle, and now it seems that this is true, this is really a miraculous thing.

When he went out to buy breakfast in the morning, Zhang Ziyao stood in front of the steamed stuffed bun stall and touched the dragon pen on his waist. For some reason, he had a strong premonition that this matter was not over, Zhu Jiuyin definitely couldn't just leave like this After all... he should come back again, Zhang Ziyao thought to himself, after thinking about it, he felt that he was completely dazed and didn't know it.

"How did you know he'd come back?"

Sitting at the table, Su Lian held the steaming steamed stuffed bun. He first sniffed it close to his nose, then frowned and took a bite cautiously. He glanced down at the red bean paste inside. He turned around calmly, and then Silently bit off the white dough on the other side of the bun.

"I don't know, this feeling is very strong, or maybe I'm crazy—Niu Niu, don't be picky eaters." Zhang Ziyao said as he tried to bite the fourth part of the steamed stuffed bun for the third time to make a small pit Time reached out and stopped him.

"I don't like sweets. Childish ghosts like sweets." Su Lian said blankly, "It would be better if he didn't come back. He snores and grinds his teeth in sleep. Now I'm alone in the painting, and I feel safe."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyao took over the bean paste buns that Su Lian had bitten into a few small holes, stuffed them into his mouth in two or three bites, and then picked a meat bun from the lotus leaf that contained the buns and handed it to Su Lian, who took it He glanced at it, then bit off half of it contentedly, put down the bun, and looked at the soy milk on hand.

"It's not sweet, I didn't add sugar." Zhang Ziyao said.

Su Lian picked up the cup and drank half of it, put down the cup, and hiccupped a little: "Where shall we go next?"

"Look for my mother, or go home and tell me that my uncle Zhang Zixiao is long gone," Zhang Ziyao hesitated for a while, as if thinking of Zhang Jiao's reaction when he heard that Zhang Zixiao was gone, he couldn't swallow anymore Putting down the bun, "Or go to another place, think about it again, is there any place you want to go?"

Su Lian shook his head: "It's all right."

Zhang Ziyao was about to ask what is meant by "anything is fine", when Su Lian added: "I will go wherever you go."

Zhang Ziyao said "Oh", and then two people who didn't know where they were going sat at the table and started to stare at each other—or should they go home?Zhang Ziyao thought blankly, it would be good to go home and rest for a few days. After experiencing so many things suddenly recently, it is time for him to say that he was locked in the room for three days and three nights without seeing visitors and take a good rest.

Zhang Ziyao hiccupped while thinking about it, then rubbed his stomach, he was full.

"Are you full too?" Su Lian asked, "I haven't finished eating the buns yet."

Zhang Ziyao lowered his head and found that there were three buns left in the lotus leaf, all of which were stuffed with red bean paste.

"I bought too much." Su Lian said.

"Yes," Zhang Ziyao nodded, "I bought too much."

There was silence at the table.

After a long time, Su Lian suddenly said out of nowhere: "I won't leave."

Zhang Ziyao: "Huh?"

"It doesn't matter where the God of Misfortune is," Su Lian said. "With Tianheshu, even if I'm in the south, the north can still cause serious famine normally. It's not a problem."

What's up with that "I'm great, praise me" expression on her face?Zhang Ziyao twitched his lips: "Didn't you say that famines always appear with famine? And you don't have to notify the local land father-in-law before a natural disaster occurs? The last time you were locked up by Houtu, the land in the capital complained about the god of disaster." Uncle didn’t know where he went and caused all kinds of natural disasters before he was notified—”

"Who?"

"A good fortune god named Tai Lianqing..." Zhang Ziyao suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly corrected him, "But he didn't know that you were locked up at the time, and after he knew it, he actively participated in your rescue The one who worked...he was the one who brought you back from Huang Shuzhen's hands."

"Oh." Su Lian picked up the remaining half cup of soy milk and took a sip, licking the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, "I won't do anything to him."

Really, the look in your eyes just now looked like you were ready to find fault.Zhang Ziyao silently swallowed his question back to his stomach. At this moment, he glanced at the three steamed buns on the table, and felt that they were a bit of an eyesore. He simply wrapped them in lotus leaves, and got up again——

"Where are you going?" Su Lian asked.

"The steamed stuffed bun can't be eaten and wasted," Zhang Ziyao said, "I'll give it to the children in the dilapidated houses on the edge of the city..."

Su Lian put down the cup and stood up, saying concisely: "Let's go together."

It may be a personality problem, this child rarely talks nonsense, if it is not an explanation of necessity, he seldom even has long sentences - when Zhang Ziyao is with him, he rarely encounters "disputes", just like at the beginning He refused to get out of the jewelry box if he didn't get a suitable solution, and no one could easily change his decision.

So wherever he wanted to follow Zhang Ziyao, Zhang Ziyao let him follow.

By the way, you can also give him basic three-view education.

……

When we got to the city wall, on this side of the city wall were the dilapidated houses where the homeless orphans lived temporarily, and on the other side of the city wall, just separated by a wall, lay a huge ink beast drawn by Zhang Ziyao, which he named "Little Tiger" At this time, the monster is dozing off in the slightly hot air during the day, its eyelids are drooping, and it looks listless...

When Zhang Ziyao leaned against the wall and took out the buns to share with the children, the black beast seemed to smell it, trembling its ears and crawled up—the tall body and huge head looked eagerly at Zhang Ziyao through the city wall, huge. Zhang Ziyao raised his head and waved at the black beast: "It's not for you, go, go !"

The black beast drooped its ears in disappointment, humming and chirping reluctantly withdrew its head, and the orphans waited for a while to make sure it would not appear again, then timidly poked their heads out, biting their fingers and looking at the hugger. Zhang Ziyao holding a pile of steamed stuffed buns—they beg all day long, and the last time they ate such white and fat red bean paste buns, they don’t know when. When Zhang Ziyao signaled them to come up to get the steamed stuffed buns, they rushed up to snatch them without hesitation. !

However, the strange thing is that they were not in a hurry to eat after they snatched them. Instead, they gathered together, and then a child led them to split the buns to make sure that everyone could share... When the buns were split, the surrounding The children around were watching helplessly, as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.

Zhang Ziyao couldn't bear to see it, so he turned around and bought the steamed stuffed bun shop upside down, which ensured that not only did each child get an equal share of steamed stuffed buns, but they also got one of each flavor... Zhang Ziyao sat in a corner with his knees hugged Seeing those children eating steamed buns enthusiastically, Su Lian also had a silly and sweet smile on his face, Su Lian stood beside him expressionlessly, paused and asked, "Are you happy?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ziyao turned his head to look at Su Lian with a smile, "What?"

"I haven't seen you smile for a few days."

"Really?" Zhang Ziyao put his head back on his knees and said with a smile, "No."

"Just as long as you're happy." Su Lian didn't argue with him, but asked again, "What are you doing?"

"Most of these children's fathers died in the war, and their mothers remarried and were abandoned." Zhang Ziyao said, "They don't even have enough to eat."

"You can manage them for a day, but not for a lifetime."

"You can manage one day at a time." Zhang Ziyao suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at Su Lian, "Looking at these children, do you have any inspiration?"

Su Lian turned his head and looked at Zhang Ziyao inexplicably. Seeing that he was obviously uninspired, Zhang Ziyao finally couldn't help reminding: "Look at these children, look at the way they yearn for the red bean paste buns you hate, do you realize that the war has given you a lot of money?" People brought—"

She looked at Su Lian expectantly.

Su Lian paused: "...bean paste buns?"

Zhang Ziyao: "..."

Zhang Ziyao: "It's death, hunger and parting from life and death!"

Su Lian: "Oh."

Zhang Ziyao: "And then? What the hell is 'oh', that's all?"

"I know what you want to say, but there is no way. Ordinary people are doomed to face these sufferings and are powerless to resist. If you want to enjoy happiness, or if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will not choose to be an ordinary person." Su Lian said indifferently, "There is no disaster in the world, and the country will not be the country."

The God of Calamity's remarks made Zhang Ziyao a little confused. He looked at the child beside him blankly, and felt for the first time that he spoke profoundly, as if he was really a hundred and seven years old... Zhang Ziyao He always felt that he was being surrounded, but he couldn't refute it. He moved his lips and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a soldier's exclamation from the city wall behind him——

"Look! What is that?!"

Zhang Ziyao was stunned, stood up, and looked behind him in a daze——

However, the city wall was too high, and he couldn't see what happened there at all. He only heard something running fast in the distance—not one, but several, or a group, their paws stepped on the ground. There was a "squeak" sound on the sand, and a low beast roared from the mouth. The sound sounded strange, and it quickly came under the city wall!

The black beast stood up from its original lying state. It was very tall, so Zhang Ziyao could see it as if it was facing an enemy. Things got angry, and Zhang Ziyao suddenly felt ominous in his heart. He was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly called the people around him——

"Niu Niu?"

The person standing next to Zhang Ziyao glanced at him, and said "Got it" lightly. He pulled out the simple hilt hanging from his waist - with a light wave, the two torches that were originally placed by the city wall It went out with a "poof", and a red burning sword appeared in Su Lian's hand. He swung the sword lightly, and jumped onto the city wall with light movements——

"Wow!"

"Brother fairy!"

"The long sword looks so powerful! Is it juggling?"

The brats eating buns behind them sighed inexplicably.

At this time, Zhang Ziyao's face was serious, and he lifted the hem of his robe, stepped forward and trotted up the stairs on the city wall!

At this time, there was the sound of a wild beast roaring from the other side of the city wall, and it seemed that there was something screaming "Aww". Soon, the black beast seemed to be hurt by that thing, and it let out a "Woo!" There was a mournful cry, and Zhang Ziyao's heart tightened, and he almost fell down the stairs on the ground——

After finally climbing up the city wall, Zhang Ziyao saw the soldiers standing on the wall looking down with pale faces. Zhang Ziyao quickly came to the wall and followed their gazes, and then he saw a very shocking scene—only five Huge wolf dogs covered in fiery red are surrounding the Black Beast. They have a well-organized division of labor, attacking different places of the Black Beast like a pack of wolves in action!

At this moment, a wolfhound is lying on the back of the black beast, biting its fur with its sharp teeth!

The ink beast howled, and black ink splashed out——

The wolfhound was taken aback.

At the same time, from a dark corner, a white figure jumped up. The long sword in his hand easily pierced through the biting wolf dog lying on the back of the black beast. Falling from Mo Beast's body to the ground, the other wolfhounds seemed to be startled by it, they all gave up attacking and retreated, threatening Su Lian with "Hoo Hoo"...

Zhang Ziyao had never seen such a creature.

They look like they are burning with flames, and their pupils are also red. When they wrinkle their noses and show their fangs, they look more like a pack of wolves—but they are much bigger than wolves. Most wolves in the desert are skinny wolves, but they are just In terms of their size, although they are not enough to look like black beasts, but standing up, they are at least taller than Su Lian.

"Niu Niu, be careful."

Zhang Ziyao lay down beside the city wall and yelled——

But obviously, his barking was superfluous, because before he finished speaking, counting the Su Lian that rolled off the black beast's back before, had already stabbed three giant dogs with agility, the remaining Seeing that the situation was not good, the two wolfhounds howled a few times, left their companions and turned their heads and ran away!

They ran extremely fast, and Su Lian didn't seem to have any intention of chasing them—when the black beast used its big paws to guess at a wolf dog that was limp on the ground, Su Lian just frowned and looked at the wolf dog. The two wolfhounds moved their wrists in the direction of fleeing, the flaming long sword in their hands disappeared, and the torches on the city wall were relit.

Su Lian put back the hilt of the sword expressionlessly.

The black beast turned the big wolfhound that bit it upside down with its paws.

When it crouched down and was about to sniff—

At this time, a surprising thing happened. The wolfhound, which was still limp on the ground, suddenly made a soft "poof" sound and disappeared out of thin air!

In mid-air, a small piece of paper in the shape of a human was slowly falling from the sky. Zhang Ziyao raised his hand and caught the piece of paper in the shape of a human being. He looked at the words he didn't know written on it, and was stunned for a while, then He asked blankly, "Strange, what is this?"

As soon as the words fell, the piece of paper in his hand was taken away.

Su Lian, who jumped back to the city wall, crumpled the piece of paper expressionlessly, threw it into the torch and burned it, but then glanced at Zhang Ziyao and said, "You don't know what it is, but you dare to touch it, beware of being cursed."

"How is that possible? Hey, why did you get burned?" Zhang Ziyao said, "I haven't seen clearly what it is yet!"

Su Lian pushed him.

"gone back."

"Why are you going back?"

"handwashing."

"..."
