Chapter 18 Thunderbolt(1/2)
When Lou Bugui walked out of Fan Jiangju during the day, Mu Zui and Yu Xinghe had just returned from Li Suo, holding the candied fruit given to them by Li Suo.
Seeing that the building was not back, the two men hurriedly bowed.
Lou Bugui seemed to have not seen them, and swept past like the wind.
Yu Xinghe held candied fruit in his mouth, looked at Lou Bugui's back, and whispered: "Why is Master Lou here? Master is injured?"
Mu Zhe was stunned for a moment and shook his head to say that he didn't know either.
Mu returned to the side courtyard and continued reading with the book "Ask for Heart".
The wind and drizzle outside the window, and the branches of the sycamore tree are rising.
Mu Zui was strict with himself. After reading the book, he practiced the word "六" for another hour, and the sky darkened.
He packed up the books and guessed the time. Yu Xinghe should have come to Changying Shandong to cook for dinner soon.
Mu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to get up and go out, a faint cry of young birds suddenly came from outside the window.
Mu Zhe had already built a foundation, and his five senses were sensitive. The bird's chirping was very weak, which was even lighter than the sound of branches and leaves falling from rain, but he still caught it.
Open the carved wooden window, and the eternal lights in the courtyard illuminate the sycamore tree that was two people tall, vaguely revealing a small black shadow above.
Mu Ei frowned, walked out of the door and arrived at the sycamore tree, and looked up slightly at the little thing on the branches.
"Chirky."
The red bird screamed twice again.
Mu Ze was stunned and tiptoed to pick up the bird when Yu Xinghe suddenly heard a sound from not far away.
"Mu Zhe!" Yu Xinghe was wearing a small raincoat and jumped around the yard, "We should be faster at night, otherwise we won't be able to eat it!"
Mu Zhe frowned.
The bird was round like a ball of hair, covered with red fluff, and its wings were so small that it could hardly flap. Not long after it broke its shell, its whole body shook slightly in the cold wind.
Looking closely, it seemed that a thin strip of cloth was tied to its eyes, which was tied to the back of its furry head and tied a knot to its wet feathers.
Mu Zhe looked strange no matter how he looked. He hesitated for a while before saying to Yu Xinghe: "You go by yourself."
Yu Xinghe saw him under the tree and asked in confusion: "What are you doing there - aren't you hungry?"
Mu Zhe shook his head.
Yu Xinghe didn't ask much. Anyway, the world had the biggest meal, so he jumped away happily.
A rainwater as big as a bean on the leaves suddenly dripped down, hitting the little red bird's forehead.
The bird staggered, and let out a shrill sound, and its entire body fell down.
Mu Ei was startled and hurriedly reached out to hold the bird in his palm.
The bird was so heartbroken that even though it almost fell to death, its eyes were still closed. It was probably very cold, rubbing gently at Mu Ze's warm palm, making a soft chirp.
Mu Ei closed his palms to block the rain for the birds and ran back quickly.
Fan Jiangju is a residence specially built by Nan Lianjun for Shen Fengxue. Even in the side courtyard, the bluestone slabs are covered with warm jade spirit stones.
The little red bird was originally trembling in Mu Zhe's palms, but when he arrived at the warm room, he slowly stretched out his body, and whispered, and then he fell asleep again.
Mu Edge took out a small wooden box containing candied fruit, stuffed a piece of warm cloth into it, and gently put the small balls in it.
He pinched a corner of the cloth and covered the bird's body. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, the bird that seemed to be sleeping soundly suddenly spread its wings and fell on Mu Zhe's fingers in vain.
Mu Zhe was stunned.
The bird chirped twice, as if it was muttering softly.
Mu Ei looked at him in a daze. For some reason, this scene suddenly reminded him of the way that Shen Gu Rong was acting coquettishly at him a few days ago.
Just as he thought of this, Mu Zhe immediately withdrew his hand and felt like he was crazy.
Although he knows that his master's personality is different, he is not even different in his skin.
Mu Ze carefully looked at the rare-looking red bird and tried to untie the cloth strip on its head, but after trying for a long time, the cloth strip seemed like a cloud of fog and dissipated as soon as it touched.
Mu Zhe stared at him for a long time, but couldn't recognize what kind of spiritual beast it was.
He stood up and found a book of spiritual beasts in the small study in the side courtyard. After turning half of it, he finally turned to a page of a picture that was very similar to this little red bird.
Two words are written on it - Phoenix.
Mu Ei paused his hand, and today he came to fight with Chen Gurong... It seemed that it was the phoenix of the demon clan?
Could it be this one?
He stared at the bird sleeping with a strange look in the small wooden box, skeptical of the answer.
Is the Phoenix...so round?
So fat, can it fly?
He raised his hand and poked the little red bird's fluff. The little bird let out a soft "twitter" and stretched out its wings and fluttered his fingers.
Mu Zhe shook his head, and did not make trouble for it anymore, and continued to read the book of the strange ambitions.
After a while, Yu Xinghe came back from dinner, and took the pastry wrapped in oil paper in his hand and walked to Mu Zui's room.
"Mu Zhe, I'm in!"
Before Mu Ze could answer, Yu Xinghe walked in casually and did not treat himself as an outsider at all.
Mu Zhui was used to it: "What's the matter?"
"Senior Brother Li Suo gave it to you, let me tell you not to forget to eat, the president is not tall." Yu Xinghe handed him the small paper bag, "Oh oh oh oh, I said, there will be a Flower Festival at the foot of the mountain in a few days, and my senior brother plans to take us out for fun secretly."
Mu Zhe said "um" and said thank you politely, then rushed the guest without hesitation: "You can grow taller if you go out and have a rest early."
Yu Xinghe, yes, just as he was about to leave, Yu Guang suddenly saw the little red bird on the desk, and his footsteps stopped immediately.
"What's this?"
Mu Zhe didn't even lift his eyelids: "I picked up a bird outside, it's sleeping, don't mess with it."
Yu Xinghe lay on the desk and lifted the cloth and looked at it. He said happily, "Ah, it looks good!"
He didn't listen to Mu Zhe's words, so he stretched out his finger and poked the little red bird's belly, and then pinched the curled claws, which made the little bird start to hum uncomfortable.
Mu Zhe frowned: "Xinghe."
Yu Xinghe looked at him with shiny eyes: "Senior brother, can I keep it for a few days?"
Mu Zhe didn't like what others coveted his things, and he refused without thinking and drove Yu Xinghe out.
Yu Xinghe had no choice but to go back with great pain and made up his mind to find such a cute spiritual pet in the future.
***
Chen Gurong never felt that he had slept for so long, so when he woke up, he was stunned for a long time before he recovered his consciousness.
There was a sweet and fragrant smell around it, and the smell was a bit like the candied fruit that he had stolen from Muzhe.
"Has anyone brought me candied fruit?"
Chen Gurong thought in a daze. He turned over and instinctively reached out to touch Bingxiao, but when he moved, he felt strange his arms and the touch of his fingers was a little strange.
"Did I fall asleep again?" Chen Gurong opened his eyes while thinking, staring at the wooden wall beside him for a long time before moving his eyes upwards.
The only thing you can see at the top is the roof beam that looks like a few dozen meters away. I glanced at it and couldn't see it.
Chen Gurong looked at it for a while and finally realized something was wrong.
He struggled to reach out to support his body, but when he stretched out his hand, he found a flash of red flashing by.
Chen Gurong's whole body froze, his gaze slowly moved downward, and finally landed on the unfolded red feathers.
Chen Gurong: "..."
He raised his wings in disbelief and looked left and right, an incredible idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Chi!!!"
Mu Zhe had just returned from supper and saw that the hairball that had been sleeping for a whole day finally woke up.
At this time, it didn't know what was being stimulated. It was frantically thrusting in the small box, with its feathers falling everywhere, and it also elongated and screamed, as if it was about to break the sound in the next moment.
Mu Zhe hurried over, fearing that it would break its throat and whisper: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
Chen Gurong was collapsed, and when he turned his head, he suddenly saw Mu Zhe's face that was magnified several times. He was even more frightened and screamed louder.
"Jiu-Jiu!"
It directly broke the sound.
Mu Zhu: "..."
Mu Ei looked at the little red dumpling flapping while coughing, feeling a little unbearable. He walked to the window frame to open the wooden window, took a few steps back, indicating that he had no malicious intentions towards it.
"Don't be afraid, if you don't want to be here, I can let you go."
Chen Gurong coughed up tears in his eyes. He just wanted to be alone and digest the fact that he became a bird.
Although Lou Bugui will become a phoenix in less than three days, it will not be so fast, right?
