The years when I made seven sand sculptures cry

There is an iron cage as tall as a person in the room. The entire cage is made of cold iron that has been around for thousands of years and is indestructible.

Chu Xiangwan followed Zhou Yu, and as soon as he walked in, he heard the cage rattling, as if some ferocious beast was imprisoned inside.

The Young Castle Master's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he couldn't help but walk around to Zhou Yu, wanting to see what beast was locked in the cage.

Zhou Yu came to Bliss City this time for it.

The old lady of the Zhou family's [-]th birthday is approaching, and the descendants of the Zhou family are searching for rare treasures to present to the old lady. What Zhou Yu is looking for is this ferocious beast in the cage.

"My lord." The guard guarding the iron cage in this room knelt down when he saw Zhou Yu.

"Get up." Zhou Yu asked them to get up, and then walked in after Chu Xiangwan.

There was no movement in the iron cage, and the ferocious beasts inside seemed to know that they couldn't break through the cage made of cold iron for thousands of years, and all their flags and drums died down.

Chu Xiangwan leaned forward, and finally saw clearly what the beast that could make a cold iron cage rattled looked like.

In the center of this huge iron cage lay a black and smeared little guy. Except for the whites of the eyes and teeth, the rest of its body was completely black.

As soon as it closed its eyes now, Chu Xiangwan couldn't tell what it looked like at all.

The master of the young castle grabbed the railing, and the people next to him wanted to come over to stop him, but Zhou Yu stopped him with his eyes.

A glowing night pearl slowly descended in the cage, illuminating the little beast in the cage.

I saw that it looked like a deer but not a deer, with blunt horns on its head, and it looked not much bigger than a puppy, and it was snorting unhappily.

Facing such a dark little face, the Young Castle Master wondered how he could see that it was unhappy.

But after realizing what this little beast is, he couldn't help opening his mouth and let out an exclamation: "Wow——"

The little black unicorn, who was lying sleepily in the iron cage, suddenly opened his eyes. Those big, round eyes looked at Chu Xiangwan warily, and the facial features on his dark face suddenly took place.

Zhou Yu stood behind Chu Xiangwan. In order to see the little unicorn in the cage clearly, the Young Castle Master had already knelt down on the ground and was looking at it on his stomach.

For the old lady of the Zhou family's [-]th birthday, what Zhou Yu was going to give her was such an auspicious beast.

The fire unicorn loves to breathe fire and is too hot; the wind unicorn runs fast and is hard to catch; and the ice unicorn is cold, so it is not easy to keep it by your side.

The black unicorn in front of him became the best choice.

Although they are all auspicious beasts, they also depend on their own attributes, like the little black unicorn, which is very special and easy to be caught by humans.

The fierce little auspicious animal snorted in the cage, feeling that it was boring to look at Chu Xiangwan like this, so it buried its face in its paws.

Seeing that it didn't look at him anymore, Chu Xiangwan stood up from the ground, thinking that this little guy was so cute, and then felt that it was really pitiful to house it in such a big cage.

He looked up at Zhou Yu, and asked, "Why did you bring him back, brother?"

Zhou Yu didn't answer, and the maid said, "Young Master Chu, it will be our old lady's [-]th birthday in a few days, and you brought it back as a gift."

Chu Xiangwan let out an "ah" and turned back to look at the little black unicorn in the cage who was angry with himself.

Kirin is an auspicious animal that can live for a long time and has the physique of a koi carp, which can bring good luck to those who own it.

Although the luck of the black unicorn is considered low among the entire race, it is much better than that of humans, and it can still bring about positive effects.

Such a race with a long lifespan also has a long childhood. If it is to be allowed to grow slowly, it will take a long time to grow up.

Chu Xiangwan couldn't help reaching out and knocking on the railing, but the little Qilin still ignored him.

He couldn't help thinking, what would Zhou Yu do for giving it to the old lady?You can't fight, and you can't pull a cart. Should you keep it as a pet?

He probably unconsciously expressed the question in his heart, Zhou Yu said: "That's right, I gave it to grandma, just to let grandma keep it by her side for fun."

Chu Xiangwan: "But won't this damage its pride as an auspicious beast?"

The maid laughed beside her: "Young master Chu, you don't know something. If the old lady likes it, she will feed it natural talents and earthly treasures, so that it can pass through its infancy and grow up quickly."

Chu Xiangwan thought about it, this is also very good, being domesticated by humans, and then he can quickly improve his strength.

This is a blessing in disguise, how can we know that it is not a blessing.

Zhou Yu looked at the little black unicorn who was still unwilling to accept his fate, and said softly, "Besides, this black unicorn is still alone. It lives alone, and no one cares about it."

When his people found it, the little guy couldn't find any food at all. If it weren't for the unicorns that could absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to survive, it would have starved to death long ago.

"That's right." Chu Xiangwan nodded, and then realized one thing——

In this way, wouldn't it mean that parting will come soon, and brother will go home soon?

The young castle master was very reluctant, almost as depressed as the little black unicorn inside.

His reluctance was not because Zhou Yu was rich and could take him around and fulfill all his wishes that he had never thought of, but because he was very reluctant.

After all, he is so good, almost satisfying all teenagers' fantasies about idol big brothers.

But there is always a banquet in the world, even if they stay together for a few more days now, after three months, he still has to go back to Chasing Cloud Castle to take over his responsibility and guard the frontier.

In this way, the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, and the parting is not so heavy.

Therefore, he clasped his fists at Zhou Yu and said, "Thank you brother for entertaining me and my four uncles these few days. Since we are going to part ways, I wish you all the best in the future. See you again."

As he spoke, he thought to himself, maybe I won't be able to come out until my son turns eighteen and inherits my position as castle lord.

And now, let alone a son, he doesn't even have someone he likes.

The Master of the Young Castle thought, even an outstanding person like Brother Zhou Yu has not yet married. If he is not as good as him, do he have such a good life that he can find his true love in less than three months? Woolen cloth?

In the cage, the little black unicorn became upset again, and bumped his head against the iron railing, knocking the cage loudly.

Amidst the clanging sounds, Zhou Yu asked him, "Xiang Wan, would you like to go back with me to attend my grandmother's birthday banquet?"

"Huh?" Chu Xiangwan pointed to himself, "Me?"

The little unicorn hit the railing.

Zhou Yudao: "I have already told my grandmother that this time I will bring a friend who hit it off with me when I go back this time. She also hopes to see you."

His maid said in a timely manner: "Yes, Mr. Chu, my son has very few friends to talk to except for the Lord Jiang. The old lady has always hoped that he can have another friend, so that he will not be so Lonely."

The little black unicorn screamed "Woooooooooooooooooooooo" and bit the railing with its teeth the size of a grain of rice.

Chu Xiangwan hesitated.On the one hand, Zhou Yu treated him so sincerely, which moved him very much, but on the other hand, he just went to celebrate his birthday like this, and he couldn't get any precious gifts in his hands for a while.

That's going to be a guest at Zhou's house, the richest man in the world, what a grandeur it is, he ran over like this, afraid that he would be timid and fall into the reputation of Zhuiyunbao again.

Zhou Yu looked at him, knowing that he was still hesitating and needed to add more fire.

He then said: "I know that Zhuiyun Castle has always been brave and good at fighting. As a member of Lianyun Eighteen Castles, you have made countless achievements in resisting evil spirits from outside the sky. It's just that your castle masters are proficient in formations and are good at dispatching troops, but your strength is sparse. Usually, once you break away from the protection of formations and fortresses, you will easily lose your combat power."

Little black unicorn: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

Chu Xiangwan patted his head. It was no secret that they were chasing Yunbao's weakness. Everyone knew that there was a person like Zhou Yu who couldn't practice but was proficient in the world's practice methods. Of course, he also knew about it.

I just don't know why he brought it up now.

Zhou Yu paused, and said, "What if I say that I have a complete set of cultivation secret books in my family, and I can make up for the methods that your Chu family lacks?"

Chu Xiangwan: "!!!"

Seeing that the young man was so excited, Zhou Yu smiled at him and asked, "Would you like to go back with me now?"

"What? Master Shao, you want to accompany Young Master Yu back to celebrate his birthday?" The four middle-aged people were very surprised at first, after all, Tiannan Zhou's was a place they had never been to.

But after hearing what Chu Xiangwan said, Zhou Yu had a method that could complement their Chu family's practice, and the four of them knew that they had to go.

After all, this is not only related to Chu Xiangwan, but also to the entire Chasing Cloud Fort.

So as soon as they agreed, they began to take out their respective money and try to pool the money to buy gifts.

You have to bring a gift when you go to celebrate a birthday, otherwise people say "Come to congratulate Yunbao", but they can't come up with a birthday gift, wouldn't that be bad?

Chu Xiangwan nodded: "Third uncle is still thoughtful." He also took out his wallet and shook it on the table.

There was a jingling sound, and a pile of longan-sized night pearls and round gemstones shook out from it.

And what came out of his four uncles was a pile of tattered coins, and in Mei San's pile were mixed with a few gold coins he picked up that day.

Chu Xiangwan shook his wallet to make sure there was nothing in it, so he raised his head and found his uncles looking at him in shock.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted and explained: "We went out to play marbles that day, and my brother gave these to me."

Lei Er said helplessly: "Take it back, take it back."

What is it to use Zhou Yu's money to buy a gift for Mrs. Zhou?

Chu Xiangwan said "oh", and put back the treasure that was poured out, so there were only a few piles of worthless private money left on the table, and he couldn't afford a decent gift at all.

In the end, with a heartbroken face, Mei San contributed her famous masterpiece "Ma Gu's Birthday", and took it to a mounting shop to have it re-framed, and prepared to give it out as a birthday gift for the occasion.

Although the painting was not easy to come by, and he himself was very reluctant to part with it, Zhuiyunbao should not be ashamed.

Everything was ready, and they boarded the flying boat in the early morning of the next day, and set off to celebrate their birthday.
