Volume 3 Dream Clinic 036 - Senior Pets
"You're looking for death!" I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore, she made a move, since the soft one can't be done, then come to the hard one.
In this way, a cat and a bird fought, and later both sides showed their original forms, and in the end, the dream tapir was defeated, and she was injured and fled in ashes. And she was not lightly injured, and there was only one way to recover quickly, so she found a hidden place and set herself on fire.
This time, however, she lost her luck. Since it was less than 500 years old, self-immolation itself was an extremely dangerous event, and she was seriously injured, resulting in almost dying in the flames. The raging fire burned for a whole year, and she was burned to ashes and dissipated in the wind and rain. I don't know how many years have passed, but among the remaining ashes, a bug crawled out.
"Why are you only coming out now? I've been waiting for you for a long time, come with me. A pair of hands reached out and sealed her in a bottle.
It was a strange man, wrapped in black clothes, wearing a black hat, and his long hair was scattered. He is obviously a man, but he exudes a feminine aura on his body.
The man took her back to the mansion and took off her hat, this time Xi Xi saw clearly, this man really looked very feminine, but he was extremely beautiful, like a mixed race between the East and the West, and his appearance was no worse than that of a woman.
He put the bottle on a shelf and said to her with a smile: "I know that now is your most vulnerable period, as long as you are obedient and help me make a lot of money, I will not hurt you, maybe I can still help you." ”
She didn't resist, her heart was like ashes, it would be good if she could let this man die, and there would be no sadness when she died. Their immortal bird clan is too rebellious to enter reincarnation, and if they die, they will be wiped out.
She just slept with her eyes closed every day, and three hundred years had passed in a flash, and the man was a little older. She knew that it must not be easy for a human being to be able to catch her, either she was born with an ability or she cultivated a spell, this man is powerful, it is estimated that he can live to be a thousand years old, and he should be more than four hundred years old at this time.
On this day, he released her from the bottle: "It's time for you to return to your true body, your fate is coming, believe me." ”
She had already accumulated enough ability, and her body burst out with golden light, and in the blink of an eye, a young woman sat on the swing. But if you look closely, you will see that the woman has no hands, and has a pair of wings on her shoulders, and if you look down, you will see that her feet are also in the shape of birds' claws. He still sealed most of her power, and she couldn't fly in this form, and she couldn't run far.
The sky was overcast, low and oppressive. The rain fell without hesitation, and although it was small, it was dense and upsetting. Passers-by on the street were in a hurry, and they all set up umbrellas.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, and after a while, the streets were gone, and they either ran back to their homes or found a place to take shelter from the rain, except for the occasional figure or two who hurried by. There is one exception to this scene.
Luo Cheng walked very slowly in the rain because he didn't know where he was going. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and his family had been in business for generations, and he was rich enough to rival the country. He has had a lot of ideas since he was a child, he wants to make more money to benefit the people, he wants to gain fame and serve the court, and he wants to be famous for eternity. However, when he was approaching his first year, he had empty ambitions but bad luck, he failed to achieve anything and lost a lot of family property, and his enthusiasm was ruthlessly extinguished by reality.
His father gave him an ultimatum to give him one last chance, if he still didn't achieve anything, he would be an idler at home, and the family would not be short of this mouthful of food. He just needs to be a carefree young master, obediently marry a daughter-in-law, and have a son. The grandson has his own old man to teach so that he can inherit the family business in the future.
To this end, he put all his efforts into it, but he still failed. He didn't want to go home, but he had nowhere to go. How could the cold rain match the cold half of his heart. Let the rain fall on your face and body, hoping to wash away your own bad luck.
The rain suddenly became lighter, and when he looked up, a tall man in black stood in front of him, and the umbrella in his hand helped him shield him from the wind and rain.
"You look unhappy, is there anything I can do to help you?" The man smiled faintly.
"Heh, you can't help me." Luo Cheng couldn't help but feel funny, he Luo Gongzi actually had a day of being sympathized with and pitiful.
"How do you know I can't help if you don't try?" The man was still faint.
"How do you try?" He still didn't believe it.
"If you have the guts, come with me, I'll show you something good." The man said, turning to leave.
"Hmph, what's not to dare?" Just go, can it be worse than now.
Following the man to a mansion, through the corridors and doors, they entered a very strange room. The room was filled with all sorts of strange things, including plants he had never seen before, and some animals that looked a little awkward.
"That's what you said would help me?" Luo Cheng suddenly felt that he was stupid, how could he trust a stranger so easily.
"No, the treasure is inside." The man opened a secret door, and behind it was a small room with a swing, on which sat a stunningly exotic woman, with snow-white skin, a face like a melon seed, brown eyes, and curly blond hair. It's just that she lowered her eyes and looked a little sad.
Luo Cheng was immediately fascinated and said dumbfoundedly: "This ...... It's ......"
"Like it? I gave her to you? The man's tone remained unchanged throughout.
"Give it to me?" Luo Cheng couldn't understand the other party's thoughts.
"Oh, it's not for nothing." The man explained, "I can give you three days, and after three days you will return her to me, and if you still want her, you will have to exchange it with me." ”
"This ...... Where is she from? Luo Cheng tried to divert the topic.
"Oh no, she's not human, she's just a pet of mine here, waiting to be sold."
"This ...... How is this possible? Luo Cheng instantly felt incredible, and the woman in front of him was obviously a woman.
"Look!" The man reached behind the woman's back, gently pulled up one of her wings and stroked her feathers, "She is a divine bird that will transform into a human form, I think you will need her." ”
It turned out that the woman had no hands, only a pair of wings, Luo Cheng believed the man's words a little, but still asked, "Is this for me?" ”
"Yes. But be careful," the man admonished, "she's just a bird, and only those who are destined to see her in human form, so you'd better not let others see her, let alone see her human form." Second, she can't eat your human food, only fruits. Thirdly, you need to buy her a swing to live on, and fourthly, she can't speak, but she can understand your words and sense good and bad, and you must be kind to her. ”
"Okay, I can do that." For some reason, Luo Cheng especially wanted to take down this bird.
"Then you can take her away now."
"Okay, thank you very much!" Luo Cheng took off his wide coat, wrapped it around her, picked her up, and walked out the door.
The moment he picked her up, her body suddenly trembled, and she raised her head suddenly, looking at the unfamiliar face, tears raining down. She had never seen this face before, but the feeling of him holding her up was too familiar to be more familiar.
"Won't you come with me?" Luo Cheng noticed her change and was immediately a little lost.
She gritted her teeth and shook her head vigorously.
"That's why you're willing to follow me?"
She nodded.
"Okay, let's go home."
When she heard the word home again, she was full of emotion.
Luo Cheng took her home, told his parents that he would not be impulsive in the future, that he would be thoughtful in his actions, and that he had gotten a pet from a friend and would raise her carefully.
His parents didn't expect him to have any great success, but only begged him not to get into trouble and not to be defeated, and they were very happy to hear that he was willing to take care of it, as for how big it was for him to raise birds.
Luo Cheng carried her back to his yard, put her on the bed, ordered his subordinates to bring a large amount of fruit, and ordered people to set up swings in the room and in the garden.
He fed a grape into her mouth, looked at her and said, "My name is Luo Cheng, what is your name?" Look at me, why am you so stupid, knowing you can't speak. You are as beautiful as the fairy in the sky, as crystal clear as the morning dew, I will call you Xianying in the future, okay? ”
The same words hit the pain in her heart, and the tears slipped down again, and she nodded desperately.
"Why are you crying again? Did I say something that reminds you of something sad? Or do you not like to be with me? Speaking of this, he suddenly felt a little sad.
She nodded her head, then shook her head vigorously.
He stroked her wings: "If only you didn't hate me." You know, I like you so much. From the moment that door opened, the first time I saw you, I felt that my life was full of hope again. I won't give you back to him, and after three days, whatever he wants. I will keep you by my side at all costs for as long as you want. ”
Unable to control her tears, she leaned her head against his chest and rubbed it.
"I see, you like to be with me too." He squatted down, looked at her and said seriously, "I promise you, as long as I live, we will be together forever." ”
She shook her head, a look of pain, she didn't want to hear such words, don't listen to anything forever, she knew that they couldn't be forever. The best thing to do is for her to leave immediately, and the two of them forget about each other. But most of her energy was still sealed, and she couldn't even transform her form freely, and she couldn't leave at all. Even if she could leave, she couldn't do it, the reunion that took hundreds of years to get in exchange, she was reluctant to let go, she coveted this feeling, even if it was only for a while, even if it was a catastrophe.
In the past three days, Luo Cheng didn't go anywhere, he was with her all the time, he fed her, told her stories, hugged her to enjoy the flowers, and hugged her to sleep. Slowly, she stopped crying and smiled at him every day, laughing so much that his heart was about to melt. He was well aware of his feelings, he was in love with a bird, but he didn't suspect anything, or find it strange, as if everything was taken for granted.
On the morning of the fourth day, the maid came to report that someone was looking for her, and he immediately understood what was the matter, and asked the maid to lead the man to the gazebo in the garden.
He put her on the swing: "You wait for me here." Don't worry, I won't let him take you back. ”
"Master Luo, after three days, you are a little untrustworthy." The man was not polite and pointed the accusation straight to the point.
"I need her, I won't give it back to you, please ask Mr. for a price." Luo Cheng didn't feel ashamed.
"Oh? No matter what I offer, will you be able to say yes? The corners of the man's mouth curled slightly.
"As long as I can do it, I will do it; If I can't do it, I'll do my best. In short, I must keep her, and hope that the husband will be perfected. ”
"And what if the price is your life?" The man became serious.
"The days before me were all in vain, and with her I realized the meaning of life. If I can exchange my life for a year, even if it is a month, I am willing. Luo Cheng's gaze was unusually firm.
"Really?"
"There is no lie. When the gentleman wants my life one day, just tell me. ”
"Hahahaha! I'm relieved to see you attach so much importance to her, I was afraid that she would be wronged. I'm a businessman, I don't want your life, I just want money. Give me half of your property, and she will be yours. ”
"Sir, can you change it?" Luo Cheng's face changed.
"What, do you regret it? It's okay, I'll just take her away. ”
"If these are my family property, I am willing to give even half of it. But these are my father's property, and I have no right to intervene. I can give you all the property in my yard that belongs to me, or I can wait until I inherit the family property and give you half of it, but I may not be able to do what you ask for now. ”
"You're being honest, but I'm leaving here soon, and I can't wait long for you. In this way, I will not embarrass you, if you give me 50,000 taels of silver, she will be yours. Your family should be able to get these silver taels. ”
"I really don't have so much on me, I can give you all the silver taels on my body, and make it up in the remaining three days."
"Yes. But if I don't get enough money after three days, you're not sincere at all. Not only will I bring her back, but I will not give you back the money you gave me today. ”
"No problem, I'll give Mr. 10,000 taels of silver tickets first, and the remaining three days will definitely be paid."
