Nine Dreams of Cranes

Endless snow gargles and falls, covering the cedars not far away, layer after layer, becoming a veritable cedar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut it's not just the cedars, even the rocky roads and mountains in the distance are layered white.

Isn't it already spring? Why is it winter again.

Lian Yin blinked, and for a while he was a little stunned for nowhere. Those indiscriminate villagers didn't allow Zixiao to say a few more words and rushed up, and they didn't know what happened later. She just blinked, and how did she change the place and time.

A few gentle crane chirps suddenly sounded in her ears, interrupting her confused thoughts and prompting her to subconsciously look to the side.

When she saw the scene beside her, she was even more puzzled.

Three or two steps away from her, two red-capped cranes were walking leisurely. From time to time, their heads looked at the ground and the sky, not knowing whether they were foraging for food, or lamenting the cold brought by the snow falling from the sky.

Chilly...... She realized that she didn't seem to feel the cold.

She looked down at her.

At this sight, she was so frightened that she almost jumped up.

White feathers, slender feet ......, maybe this shouldn't be called feet, but the soles of the feet? Black soles? It looks particularly like the paws of a black-boned chicken.

In the next second, she denied the species of black-boned chicken, and combined with the two red-crowned cranes around her, Lian Yin soon had the most accurate answer.

At this moment, she should be a crane.

How did she turn into a crane?

Lian Yin looked at his black soles in distress, and then looked at the soles of the two red-capped cranes around him, which was really the same.

The red-capped crane beside him screamed twice, followed by a creaking sound of the door opening.

As the door opened, another crane that was not calling also chirped, and the cry was crisp and pleasant, as if he had seen someone he liked, expressing his happiness.

Not only that, but the direction in which the two cranes are calling is also very consistent. Lian Yin then turned to look over.

Behind her was a large wooden house, and now the opposite door of the big house was open, and in the face of the falling snowflakes, a man in a crane white robe strode out of the high threshold of the big house.

The two cranes beside him were even more happy and excited, and they stretched their wings and fluttered twice.

The man lowered his gaze, and after hearing the crane's chirp, he raised his eyes and looked over, with a light smile on his lips.

Lian Yin blinked, and saw the two cranes coming towards the man, she also ran forward, spread her feet and ran faster than them, and immediately squeezed to the man's side, looking up at him desperately.

Long eyebrows that fly into the sideburns, with starry eyes. This nose, this mouth, this smile, this face...... This is not Zi Xiao, who else can it be!

Lian Yin felt even more confused, Zi Xiao was still there, why did she change from a fox to a crane? What really happened that night?

Zi Xiao raised his hand and gently stroked the red top on Lianyin's head, and the smile on his mouth never diminished.

The snow fell on his head and shoulders, and he didn't bother to shake it off, and after touching all three cranes, he looked at the sky and said to himself, "It's snowing again today." Recently, the snow has been diligent, and I don't know if it will delay the footsteps of Taoist friends. ”

Fellow Daoists? Legato struggled to absorb his words. I haven't had this word in the time I've been with Zi Xiao, I don't know who his so-called Taoist friend is?

While digesting, there was another hurried footstep sound from the other side of the house.

The footsteps are short and urgent, and if you listen to the sounds, they look like children's steps, and in short, they are not too old.

Sure enough, a young boy's voice sounded at the door of the big house, "Master, Master, you don't have an umbrella." There was anxiety in his voice.

After a while, an oil-paper umbrella was propped up, but unfortunately because of the height relationship, the umbrella couldn't hold up on the top of Zixiao's head.

Lian Yin looked along the oil-paper umbrella and saw that it was a cute boy. In terms of age, he was about eight or nine years old, wearing a gray checkered robe, and he was trying to tiptoe to hold an umbrella for Zi Xiao at this time.

Zi Xiao also saw the little boy's actions, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened a little, and he reached out to take the oil-paper umbrella in the little boy's hand, but it was not on his head, but on the top of the little boy's head.

The little boy looked up at Zi Xiao, his eyes showing admiration, "Master—"

Zi Xiao looked down at him, indescribably gentle, "Master doesn't need an umbrella, you take care of yourself, don't get sick from freezing." ”

The little boy nodded movingly, "I see, Master." ”

Zi Xiao handed him back the umbrella, and when he took it, he said, "Go get food and feed the cranes." ”

"Okay." The little boy listened, and ran back to the big house with an umbrella.

After seeing the little boy enter, Zi Xiao touched the cranes around him again, and then walked away from them.

Lian Yin looked at his back, different from the gentleness he exuded when he spoke to the little boy just now, his back looked cold, and it was very compatible with the cold ice and snow, as if there was a cold that had already entered the bones.

He walked more than fifty paces, and only when the wooden fence of the enclosure blocked his way, did he stop, and stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the mountain top in the distance.

Lian Yin also walked over slowly, she hadn't seen so much before, but now she realized that this was also on the mountain, and there was a mountain road leading to the bottom of the mountain on one side of the wooden fence, the slope was not steep, and the mountain road winded towards the mountain on the other side. In this sense, the place we are in today is somewhere out of this world surrounded by mountains.

He looked at the mountains and peaks in the distance for a moment before he retracted his gaze, looked down, and saw the rento beside him.

A smile crept up the corner of his mouth again, he raised his head and touched the red hair on the top of Lianyin's head, and said strangely, "You are quiet today." ”

Is it quiet? Lian Yin glanced at the other two, and the two cranes were hanging around him, and they didn't make much noise. How can you say that she is quiet?

However, this is not the point at the moment.

Lian Yin looked up at him again, a little weak and depressed, last time it was a fox, this time it was a crane, why did she become a variety of animals? Or can't you communicate with people normally? She had a lot of questions in her mind that needed to be answered.

The little boy who came into the house to feed the cranes soon ran out again, and soon scattered the feed around the two cranes, and when the two cranes saw the food, they were so happy that they lowered their heads and went to peck at them.

Lian Yin looked at the food on the ground, and couldn't behave like a crane, so he had to stay by his side.

When the little boy saw that Lianyin didn't come to eat, he ran over again, spilling the food on the ground and waiting for Lianyin to eat.

It's just that Lian Yin was unmoved, and he didn't even look at it.

Seeing that she didn't move, the little boy asked his master suspiciously, "Master, why didn't Ah He eat today?" (To be continued.) )
