Chapter 19: Zhao Haijuan

Although we encountered the troubles of the white-bearded Lei Ren and Gui Yuxiu one after another, we finally returned to Zhao Haipeng's hometown smoothly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After Gui Yuxiu's pass, as soon as I entered the door, I found that Zhao Haipeng's home was much newer than when I first came, the original dilapidated old house tiles were all renovated, and the pomegranate trees in the yard were also built with new bricks.

It seems that the 30,000 yuan that Zhao Haipeng sent home last time is still very useful, at least partially improving his eldest brother's living situation.

With a little pride and relief, Zhao Haipeng and I, who were in a good mood, circled around the huge ancestral house of the Zhao family all the way, and finally saw Zhao Haihu basking in the sun under the eaves of a backyard.

When they first met, Zhao Haijun was sitting in a wheelchair, squinting his eyes, holding a dustpan to bask in the sun, in which things like oats or sorghum were placed, and similar agricultural products were placed on the flat ground around him.

In the daylight, Zhao Haiju looked very calm, and the angular wrinkles on his face were illuminated at a glance, so I could also see that he was really very similar to his younger brother Zhao Haipeng.

Facing that face, I couldn't help but think that if Zhao Haiju dyed his gray hair black, then many people would believe that the two brothers were born as twins.

It is no wonder that such a pair of brothers with the same bloodline have feelings that are different from ordinary people.

After Lao Zhao saw his brother, he was very happy, his worried expression was swept away, he couldn't help but walk over quickly, holding his brother's wheelchair and half-squatting down, and then shouted emotionally: "Big brother! I'll go home to see you coming! The house has been renovated, right?

Listening to Zhao Haipeng's words, Zhao Haiyun, who was originally basking in the sun, trembled slightly, then lowered his head and smiled at his younger brother.

In a smile, Zhao Haiju said: "Don't miss it! Before autumn, your sister-in-law has repaired it with Li Douniu from our village, don't worry!"

Hearing this, Zhao Haipeng said with relief: "That's good! Look at it more in the future, if there is still a water leak at home, or something else happens, you must tell me, and I will deal with it." ”

Hearing this, the old Zhao Haiju first frowned, and then twisted his face towards me.

Looking at me and Ah Si, Lao Zhao's eldest brother said to me calmly: "Boss Huo, your matter, the second brother has already told me on the phone, there is a way to call Birch, I can help, specifically, let's go into the house to talk!"

This Zhao Haijuan's straightforwardness made me feel very good, so I hurriedly agreed: "Okay, Brother Zhao!" Then I walked over, pushed Zhao Haijuan's wheelchair, and sent him into the room behind him.

The house that Zhao Haijun brought us to is divided into two sets, inside and outside, the outer room is stacked with some furniture, food, etc., and the inner room is a clay kang.

After entering the house, following Brother Zhao's instructions, I pushed him to the side of the earthen kang in the inner room, and then everyone sat around Zhao Haijuan and quietly listened to Zhao Haijuan talk about the "Birch" bird.

Compared with Zhao Haipeng, who is general, this Brother Zhao knows more about that kind of divine bird, and he first told us that there is an allusion to Birch's bird.

It is said that this Birch bird was originally a human, is the son of the humerus minister "Yin Jifu" when King Xuan of the Zhou Dynasty, erudite and talented, because he was framed by the jealousy of his stepmother, and finally was exiled by his father, because of indignation, he turned into a bird, and shouted in Nozawa every day, and then heard the cry of his father Yin Jifu heard the epiphany, and then shot his wife and avenged his son.

Because Birch's cry can wake people up and make people die, he will become a strange bird that swallows dreams and sings in the future, and even becomes a strange and righteous beast.

Speaking of this, Zhao Haijun said: "In the Five Organs Temple, there is a method that can summon the Birch Bird, which mainly requires lotus leaves, apple branches, honey, morning frost and ...... Moon tears!"

"Moon tears?!" I was stunned, and Xuan'er asked, "I understand everything else, what are these moon tears?"

After listening to my question, Zhao Haijun shook his head and said: "This matter is a bit complicated, after seeing the unconscious person you want to save, I will personally command it! Now, let me talk to you about the key points first, how to prevent Birch from screaming at people for no reason, and what kind of warning signs there are before it calls......

With Brother Zhao's words, I also quickly learned that Birch is a bird that looks similar to a crow in appearance, but it is uglier and darker than a crow, and as for how ugly it is and what the details of ugliness are, it is basically impossible to describe it further in words.

In addition, Zhao Haiju also specially emphasized that there is a butcher shop on the head of this thing like a rooster, which is usually hidden between the feathers, slightly bulging or not visible at all.

In addition, the Birch bird, as a nocturnal creature with legendary divine powers, is not small, so it is less likely to call, and generally only when it is stimulated by humans, it will roar and scream.

And this kind of "stimulation", Zhao Haijun specifically told us that there are generally only two kinds, the first is the popularity of sober people, and the second is the vicinity of Birch, where some people deprive him of the right to enjoy food.

And its food is naturally a dream!

After listening, I nodded slightly, and said with concern: "Both of these things can be eliminated by pre-arrangement, but is there any way to calm down the bird quickly after being frightened?"

When asked, Zhao Haiju nodded very firmly and said, "Yes!

"Moonlight?!" I repeated in surprise.

Brother Zhao nodded, and explained to us in detail that Birch is a bird that comes to cover the moon and eats dreams, so it has a certain phototaxis and yearning for the moon, and if it is frightened and the flesh crown on the top of its head is about to be opened, if it is allowed to see the moonlight again, then it will return to calm.

Speaking of this, Zhao Haiju couldn't help but soothe at us: "Of course, no matter what, this Birch bird is a relatively honest creature, and it is not very afraid of people, it will not bark when no one provokes it, and after eating people's dreams, it will leave by itself, so don't worry too much." ”

Zhao Haiyun's words dispelled many doubts in my heart, but I wondered, why did this Brother Zhao know so much about this strange bird, and even more so that Zhao Haipeng couldn't get the wrong method?

Curious, I opened my mouth and asked, "Brother Zhao, how do you know all these things? Could it be that you have really seen that kind of bird?"

After listening to my question, Zhao Haiyu nodded affirmatively: "I have seen it, I was hit by an evil once when I was a child, and my father used the method of calling Birch to cure me of ghost diseases!"
