Lantern: Reflection of the Peach Blossoms

The red beads shone brightly on the lotus stand, Little Phoenix stared blankly, a few hazy and instinctive thoughts flashed through his little head.

What's this?Why so familiar?

Is it another bird's...egg?

The little phoenix's spiritual intelligence has not yet been opened, and he does not have the ability to think clearly, but the powerful and fiery divinity of the adult phoenix immediately invaded all its senses, and even the depths of the soul couldn't help but tremble.

It intuitively identified this feeling as danger.

Zhou Hui must have been secretly hiding here behind his back.

Little Phoenix glanced at the bathroom like a thief. Zhou Hui's singing had a piercing inflection in the sound of the water, as if he hadn't noticed the movement in the bedroom at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Little Phoenix turned his head, looked at the brilliant red bead, and finally made up his mind.

——If there were other birds, Zhou Hui would not want me.

The little phoenix flapped its wings, carefully overturned the glass jar, and opened its mouth to put the red bead into its mouth.

·

Zhou Hui hummed while wiping his head with a towel, and walked out of the bathroom naked. There were still drops of water on his strong six-pack abs, shining brightly in the dark bedroom.

He habitually glanced at the bedside table first, the milk cup was empty, and there was no little phoenix.

Looking up again, Xiao Fenghuang was curled up on the top of the wardrobe, almost touching the ceiling.

"Jiujiu, come down." Zhou Hui stretched out his hand to signal: "Come down and I'll brush your hair, let's watch TV together."

Little Phoenix turned his head away to ignore him, the nape of his neck was slightly blown, his tail feathers curled up under his belly, the whole little bird was like a round ball of fluff.

"Jiujiu?" Zhou Hui felt a little strange, put down the towel and called out again: "Jiujiu? Little Maojiu? What's wrong with you?"

Little Phoenix still ignored it.

Could it be that I'm shy because I don't have any clothes on?No way, even if Lingzhi drives fast, it may not be so fast.Full of doubts, Zhou Hui ran to the bathroom and got dressed, then came out and stood under the closet, raised his head and called, "Come down, little Phoenix! Go out and take you to eat delicious food!"

As a result, Little Phoenix twisted his body this time and pointed his butt directly at him.

"..." Zhou Hui was really puzzled now, but no matter how much he coaxed, lied to, promised to take it out to play and eat, Little Phoenix ignored it.

Chuhe only engages in cold war when he is really angry. If the behavior of little phoenix is ​​replaced by the same amount, Chuhe's anger level should have reached that of Zhou Hui training the young and ignorant roc to hold a frisbee, or throwing a little peacock A standard mopping the floor with its tail feathers tethered to a pole.

Zhou Hui stood under the closet and coaxed him for a long time, but finally he couldn't do it, so he moved a chair and climbed up, only to see Little Phoenix huddled in the innermost corner, with his stomach curled up, looking at the ceiling with an aggrieved expression.

"...What's the matter?"

Zhou Hui was extremely surprised, and stretched out his hand to hug her, but Xiao Fenghuang immediately lowered his head, with an expression of "I'll peck you if you stretch out your hand".

Is it time for rebellion?

Thinking of this, Zhou Hui walked around the room, and his eyes fell on the unfinished glass of milk.He thought that the milk didn't taste good or the temperature was too hot, which made Little Phoenix angry, so he went to taste it, but found nothing abnormal.

...No way, is it really a rebellious period?Zhou Hui was even more baffled.

After that, Zhou Hui tried for an entire hour, but he couldn't coax Xiao Fenghuang out of the closet.If he wanted to hug him forcefully, the little phoenix would start chirping, shrank into the corner, and threatened to breathe fire; in the end, Zhou Hui had no choice but to put it up there and come down after a while when his anger subsided.

However, Little Phoenix's anger didn't dissipate throughout the night.

After going to bed at night and turning off the lights, Zhou Hui lay on the bed, seemingly asleep with his eyes closed, but in fact all his mind was focused on the top of the wardrobe in the dark.He could feel the little phoenix lying there with drooping wings, feeling a little uncomfortable; after a long, long time, it slowly stopped moving, as if it was about to fall asleep.

A few minutes later, Little Phoenix tilted and fell straight from the top of the closet.

Zhou Hui bounced up like lightning, disappeared from the bed in an instant, and appeared in mid-air to catch Little Phoenix with a "pop!".

His movements were so quick and gentle that when he returned to the bed the next second, Little Phoenix was not fully awake.

"...Jiujiu..." Little Phoenix cried out twice, and adjusted to a more comfortable position in Zhou Hui's hands - curled up belly, head buried in the young hair on the chest, and the little furry buttocks were under the tail feathers It pouted naturally; in this weird position, it moaned for a while, then fell asleep again.

Zhou Hui: "..."

Zhou Hui sniffed the little phoenix carefully, and measured his body temperature with his finger against his hair, and found that the temperature of the little phoenix was a little high.Are you sick?

If it's sick, it's really troublesome.

The Primordial Divine Bird will definitely not get sick. If it gets sick, then there must be something more serious. The so-called sickness is just an external manifestation.In nine days and ten lands, there has never been a record of how to treat the ancient beast if it is sick. Zhou Hui can't even determine whether this increase in body temperature is indeed sick, or is it the normal physiological characteristics of the phoenix as an inflammatory bird?

Zhou Hui didn't close his eyes all night. He stared at Little Phoenix without blinking, and found that he really didn't sleep well. He curled up on the pillow in the middle of the night and was still trembling slightly.When he woke up the next morning, little Fenghuang was listless and refused to drink milk. He only took a couple of mouthfuls of mineral water and couldn't turn his head.

Zhou Hui was basically sure that it was sick, but where was the disease?

For a whole day, Little Phoenix stayed in Zhou Hui's pocket, but refused Zhou Hui's touch and closeness, and refused to stand up when he met Garuda in a special place.Li Hu, Zhang Shun, and Shenwan Tiansi took turns to visit Little Phoenix, but they couldn't explain why, and they were all helpless.

At night, Zhou Hui took Little Phoenix home, and wanted to wipe its feathers with a hot towel, but Little Phoenix immediately avoided it: "Jiujiu!"

"Are you uncomfortable?"

"Chirp!"

"...If you don't like the human world, why don't we go back to Zhoushan?"

Zhou Hui took half a step forward, and Little Phoenix shrank vigilantly into the washbasin: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

Zhou Hui looked down at the little bird cub, and suddenly found that its posture was very strange, as if it had been curling up its belly.

Zhou Hui keenly recalled that it had been like this since last night, even sleeping with its gorgeous tail feathers tucked under its belly, instead of being spread out on the big soft pillow like normal.Could it be stomach discomfort?Have a cold?

It's no joke that such a small bird cub caught a cold, Zhou Hui reached out to touch the little bird cub's belly.But as soon as Xiao Fenghuang discovered his intention, he immediately turned around and jumped up, flapped his wings and flew out, bumped his head against the door frame in a panic, and fell dizzy.

Zhou Hui strode forward, grabbed the baby bird in his hands, and touched its fluffy belly without saying a word.Little Phoenix was about to cry out of anger, and struggled desperately in Zhou Hui's palm, but couldn't bear it anymore. Zhou Hui was indeed thousands of years older than its current body. It was found that it didn't feel right.

——There is a hard, thumb-sized ball in its stomach.

Zhou Hui thought he had touched it wrong, but then the feeling became clearer and clearer, and he finally confirmed that there was indeed a foreign object in Little Phoenix's stomach.

Zhou Hui's head groaned loudly, countless ominous guesses flashed through his mind, and his face turned livid instantly: "What's going on here? When did it grow?"

The little phoenix flew out with its tail feathers shaking, staggered to the bed, and plunged into the quilt.

In the next second, Zhou Hui pinched the back of his neck and picked it up: "What's going on? Does it hurt? Or did you eat something?!"

Little Phoenix's expression was like that of a revolutionary martyr. No matter how hard Zhou Hui pressed him, he just kept his mouth shut and refused to utter a single syllable.When it was in a hurry, it closed its eyes and pretended to be dead, and when it was forced again, it took advantage of Zhou Hui's inattention and pecked hard at his hand, which made Zhou Hui tremble and almost threw it out.

"Little Phoenix!" Zhou Hui raised his hand to beat him, and threatened sharply, "Did you eat something indiscriminately! Tell me, I know you understand!"

It is impossible to grow something in the body in such a short period of time, so it must have been eaten.If Xiao Fenghuang confessed by himself, the matter would be much simpler, otherwise, Deputy Yu would have to send someone to do an X-ray on it to see if it was a glass marble or something else messy.

"Show me what you eat, now!" Zhou Hui said sternly, "If you don't say anything else, you will be put in a cage and not allowed to go out for a walk! I won't hug you either!"

"Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp!" Then he flapped his wings on top of Zhou Hui's head.

"..." Zhou Hui's mind was buzzing, and he forced himself to calm down, but he couldn't do it no matter what.

Is it okay to induce vomiting?How do you induce vomiting in a bird?What adverse reactions will such a small bird cub induce vomiting?

If you go to a doctor in the human world, the medicine prescribed will not be suitable for Phoenix. You should pay attention to your diet. What if the medicine is more poisonous than what it eats?

Little Phoenix is ​​Zhou Hui's life.He didn't dare to imagine what to do if something happened to the little phoenix. If he was reborn, would he still have such good luck to break out of his shell quickly?Will she still kiss him like this after breaking her shell?

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Nirvana is easy to break the shell and go smoothly, Zhou Hui will never be able to stand seeing the little phoenix die in front of his eyes, the cry is so weak that it disappears, the feathers lose their luster little by little, and the warm little body slowly becomes stiff scene.

——At this time, Zhou Hui's rationality was stretched to the limit. He skipped all other possibilities and directly thought of the worst and most irreversible consequences.He felt cold all over, walked back and forth in the bedroom for a few times, and finally thought of the most direct method at the moment: physically induce vomiting!

Let the little phoenix spit things out, first of all, you must find out what it ate!

With trembling hands, Zhou Hui called Yu Jingzhong and told him to send a doctor to take a picture of Xiaofenghuang immediately.Yu Jingzhong was taken aback when he heard this, and asked a few more questions. Before he could ask clearly, Zhou Hui hung up the phone with a snap.

Little Phoenix lay weakly under the quilt, Zhou Hui grabbed it, and finally asked, "What exactly did you eat?"

Little Phoenix stared back at him angrily, hugging her belly with her wings.

"Next time, eat food behind my back, and see if I beat you!" Zhou Hui said viciously, and pressed the little phoenix on the bed with his backhand, forcibly peeled off the wings, and then began to rub its stomach vigorously.

"Chirp Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!" The little phoenix resisted desperately, fluttered its wings under the ravages of Zhou Hui's big hand, rolled and screamed, spit out balls of flames, and burned fist-sized holes in the bed sheet.Zhou Hui's hand was also burnt red and blistered, and when he loosened his fingers under the severe pain, the little phoenix immediately burst into tears and flew several meters away, stopped on the window sill, and screamed and complained with all his strength: "Tweet, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp! !!"

The voice was full of blood and tears, and the sound was harsh.Zhou Hui subconsciously covered his ears, stared at it anxiously and angrily, and was about to grab it back and continue to induce vomiting, when suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind.

——When did Little Phoenix become abnormal?When he went to take a shower yesterday.

In other words, even if you eat something messy, you eat it at home, and the most likely thing is something in the bedroom!

what's in the bedroom

Zhou Hui frowned and began to think, trying his best to calm himself down from the great anxiety.That kind of thumb-sized, round and hard sphere, only in the bedroom... Could it be...

Zhou Hui couldn't believe it, he turned around and opened the drawer of the bedside table.

Sure enough, the glass jar was empty, and the frozen phoenix eyes were gone.

Zhou Hui was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Little Phoenix, hardly knowing what expression to use to face this matter.

However, in the next moment, all his thoughts were gone, and he almost lost his mind in an instant——

I saw that the angry cry of the little phoenix gradually changed into pain. Its feathers exploded, and the feathers stood up. The golden red was as dazzling as a burning flame; smoke began to rise from the top of its head, and the smoke gradually spread to the whole body. A few seconds later, the flames erupted from the feathers, instantly wrapping the little phoenix into a ball of fire!

"Phoenix!" Zhou Hui roared involuntarily, "Phoenix! Phoenix! Don't do this! Don't leave!"

Zhou Hui rushed over and grabbed the ball of fire with trembling hands, but he couldn't catch anything other than being severely burned.

The fireball rolled from the window sill to the ground, tumbling back and forth, and the strange thing was that it was so hot that it didn't burn any carpet or furniture.Zhou Hui was going crazy. He watched the figure of the little phoenix in the flames seem to be changing and elongating rapidly. He didn't know how long the time had passed. The flame exploded with a "boom!" and then went out suddenly.

The scorching heat dissipated.

On the carpet, little phoenix disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a five or six year old child.

Zhou Hui stood there, almost unable to move because of the excessive shock.

I saw that the child was small, his whole body was as white as jade snow, and his temple hair was wet and stuck to his soft and snow-white cheeks.His eyes were as black as water, and he raised his head tremblingly to look around, his eyes were full of timidity and bewilderment, and finally looked at Zhou Hui cautiously and vigilantly.

"..." Zhou Hui tremblingly said, "Phoenix..."

There was a strange tremor in his voice, it sounded hoarse and weird, even a little scary.However, his eyes are full of emotions that make people feel sad at first glance, as if they will overflow from the eye sockets in the next moment.

Zhou Hui walked up to Little Phoenix, knelt down, and stretched out his hand to him.

Zhou Hui's fingers were very long, with protruding knuckles, and the palms were drenched with sweat. There were still scars on the tiger's mouth and the back of the hands that had not completely faded away; no matter from which angle you looked at them, they were not a pair that made people want to look at them. close hands.

But when he stretched his five fingers slightly and spread out his palms to Little Phoenix, this action was so defenseless and unwavering, that he felt very at ease and dependable in a trance.

"..." Little Phoenix looked carefully for a while, and finally stretched out his hand cautiously, and grabbed one of Zhou Hui's index fingers.

"...What?" He tilted his head in doubt.

Zhou Hui picked him up and hugged him tightly.

It was a close and hot hug without any distance, as if even the flesh and blood were going to be fused together, as if they were connected as one and never separated.With his head resting on Zhou Hui's shoulder, Little Phoenix felt a little uncomfortable at first, but soon seemed to find a familiar aura that reassured him, and hugged Zhou Hui's strong neck with his backhand.

"Zhou... Zhou..." He gritted his teeth and said vaguely.

Zhou Hui didn't make a sound, all the muscles in his body were tense, only his shoulders were shaking strangely.

"Zhou... Hui..."

Little Phoenix finally managed to pronounce a complete syllable.He giggled, bowed his head and kissed Zhou Hui's ear.
