Chapter 41: Youth
That night, a young man dressed in a thick blue-gray robe and a belt of the same color was tied around his waist drove a mule cart to the outside of the lockdown city.
When he saw that the heavy gate was closed so tightly that not even a crack was exposed, the young man raised his hand and knocked on the head of a blackened bird lying on his shoulder, which was hidden in a pair of wings, and was sleeping soundly.
The young man knocked it so suddenly, and the bird raised its head suddenly, and the moment the bird's head was raised, it saw that its pair of bird eyes, which were only the size of black beans, were flashing with colorful five-colored light.
But in the blink of an eye, the five-colored light disappeared, replaced by a pair of small black eyes.
"Stinky boy, what are you doing?" Shockingly, the bird actually spoke, but in a high-pitched voice, neither male nor female, as if it was pinching its throat to speak.
"I said, Brother Xuan, you raise your big watery, clear eyes and look forward."
The young man crossed Erlang's legs, leaned his back against the door frame, and held a withered yellow dog's tail grass in his mouth, his chin was a little forward, looking like a hanger.
It's just that his life is white, his forehead is full, his long eyebrows are in the sideburns, his eyes are black and bright, like the water of a deep pool, although there is a reflection, but it cannot be investigated, the bridge of the nose is straight, the shape is beautiful, although the lips are thin but does not give people a sense of coolness, the chin arc is just right, the corners of his lips are slightly upturned, and the chin is slightly raised, giving people a sense of both flamboyance and comfort.
At this time, if someone passes by outside the city and sees this scene, they will definitely praise "what a handsome and elegant Langjun".
But at this time, in the eyes of the blackbird, who was called "Brother Xuan", the young man was not so beautiful, but just a nasty mortal who disturbed his dreams.
The blackbird lazily raised his head and looked at the thick door in front of him that had been closed, in its eyes, this solid and reliable city gate in the eyes of mortals was a pile of broken copper and iron, if it was placed in the past, it didn't have to work hard at all, a mouth, it could instantly burn the pair of broken copper and iron in front of it to ashes, but now, it was like a beast with its claws and teeth pulled out, and it could only look at the city gate and sigh.
This made its already bad mood even worse, and it snorted and began to dig through old accounts.
"Hmph, the master said that after I came to the Extreme Nether Realm, I can take the food in this realm, but after following you for so many days, I haven't even eaten a serious meal, and now it disturbs my sleep, it's really unbearable!"
The young man shook his head helplessly, "Brother Xuan, you have lived for such an age, what else have you grown besides your long skin?" ”
"Long ability, long appearance!" The blackbird replied reflexively, these two are the assets of which it is most proud.
The handsome young man raised his long eyebrows that flew obliquely into his sideburns, spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and chuckled: "Posture?"
"What? Am I such a beautiful ...... Birds don't have a look? ”
Hearing that his posture was questioned, the blackbird's voice was raised violently, in this night where there was no moonlight, only the faint light of snow, it could really frighten people's courage.
Fortunately, the young man had become accustomed to the strangeness of this bird along the way, and was not frightened, but pouted and said: "Yes, you have a posture, you are very beautiful, enchanting, charming, all male birds, even roosters can worship under your black bird feathers."
As he spoke, the young man stretched out his arm, pulled a piece of dead grass that had been crushed by the snow from the side of the road, threw it into his mouth, and continued to bite!
He was thinking about how to spend tonight, he missed the inn where he stayed, and now he couldn't enter the city gate, if it was summer, he would stay outside for the night, and feed the mosquitoes at most, but now the weather is so cold, and he will definitely get frostbite if he spends the night on a mule cart, alas, it is really sad!
The blackbird listened to the young man's words and nodded with satisfaction, this is about the same!
It's just that it was satisfied that it didn't have two breaths of time, and it immediately felt that something was wrong.
"What do you say? What male birds and roosters, Lao Tzu, I am a pure master, and if I want to hook up, I only hook up with those female birds, and hens...... Ahhh ”
Where to stay tonight? Wrapped up in a big fool all night?
The young man used Blackbird's anger as background music and continued to think about his own thoughts.
There is still some dry food in the car, enough for myself and this bird to eat, but there is no way to get it hot, there is a fire fold, but such a deep snow, I can't find firewood, and this broken car, leaking wind everywhere, this night is hard!
The young man's mind kept turning, although he had endured a lot of hardships along the way, it can be said that he had grown to eighteen years old, and he had suffered more than the previous eighteen years in this month, but it was the first time that he had slept in the wasteland outside the city in a snowy night like this.
Thinking of this, he squinted at the ugly bird who grabbed his robe on his shoulder with two paws, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
I really don't know if the ancestor's people sent a living ancestor!
"Hey, what's that look in your eyes? Do you think Lao Tzu is not a master? Lao Tzu is very girly? Blackbird asked in a thick voice.
What a living ancestor!
"No, Brother Xuan, where are you, my little brother was just attracted by your sassy and heroic appearance, and he couldn't react for a while." The young man hurriedly replied that he didn't want to be scratched by an ugly bird anymore.
"That's pretty much it!" Blackbird nodded.
"That Brother Xuan, we are going to live outside the city tonight, there is only so much dry food for this, you will have a little, and ...... This is too cold, you have to let my little brother and me hold me to keep warm, otherwise I will freeze to death, and you won't even be able to eat these unpalatable dry steamed buns. ”
What a living ancestor, when Lao Tzu settles down, I will first buy a cage to lock up this ugly bird and see how it tickles me.
Well, it's better to keep it with the parrot and let it teach the parrot to speak, no, with the temper of this ugly bird, maybe it will bully the parrot to death, or keep it with the falcon and let it be scratched and pecked often.
The young man is making a plan in his heart, and he is really down, not even as good as a bird, and it is sad to think about it.
After immersing himself in his thoughts for a while, the young man came back to his senses, hey, very strange, according to the experience of this month, at such a time, this ugly bird has to complain about suffering with him, not eating well and sleeping well, and sleeping in the wilderness, even its smooth and shiny feathers have been withered by him, why is it so quiet now?
