When Yu Fengguang came back, Yu Fenghong had already put his sister who was holding Jiufeng to sleep, and his mother was also lying peacefully on the couch.

Elm branches burned in the fire, and the house was filled with the quiet scent of elm trees.

Elm sap helps people sleep, like a resting potion. And the fragrant fragrance emitted by the burning elm tree also helps people sleep.

Lan Er couldn't sleep well since she was a child, and she was always crying, so Yu Fengguang picked all kinds of herbs for Lan Er to try, and used all kinds of trees that could calm and calm her in Butiao Mountain to help her sleep.

It wasn't until Lan Er started talking that Yu Fengguang knew the real reason why Lan Er couldn't sleep, she always said that something was whispering in her ear, and she kept sobbing or chirping.

Later, Yu Fengguang understood that Lan'er had a natural ability to hear, she could hear the singing of hundreds of birds in the forest, and she could also hear the running of hundreds of beasts, so she couldn't sleep at all.

Since then, Yu Fengguang has replaced the thatch in the house with a faintly scented lavender, burning elm branches in the house in the winter, and when Lan Er sleeps, she will stuff a soothing medicinal mud into her eardrums.

When my father is not at home or returns late, all these tasks at home are completed by Yu Fenghong.

When the aristocratic sons of Tianshiyuan and Snow Blue City were still coquettish or competing for a new beautiful coat by their mother's side, Yu Fenghong, who was also at the same age, had already taken on the responsibility of supporting his family and taking care of his mother and sister.

"Dad, Lan'er said that the strange bird is called Jiufeng." Yu Fenghong stretched out his hand and pulled the firewood in the fire pit to make it burn more vigorously, so that his father, who had just come home, warmed up.

"How is she-" Yu Fengguang was eating some inferior round-headed Ru with moldy spots, and stopped his mouth halfway through speaking, looking down at the moldy spots on the round-headed Ru in his hand with some disgust.

As iron-branded pariahs, they handed over all the best round-headed rue they picked to the Imperial History Mansion, and took the slightly inferior round-headed rue to the fourth street of Tea in Snow Blue City to exchange for the necessary salt mud, gloves, leather felt, etc., and they always ate the worst ones themselves.

He knew that his daughter could listen to birds and beasts.

"Jiufeng? Our Archaeopteryx? He suddenly understood the crux of the question, "Is that Jiufeng that I summoned five years ago?" How did it not return? ”

Yu Fenghong shook his head, "When I came home from Snow Blue City, I saw it being chased by monsters in the mountain stream, so I rescued it back. ”

Yu Fengguang swallowed the last mouthful of the moldy round head Ru, took a sip of water, stood up and walked to his daughter's bed.

The strange bird raised its head vigilantly and looked at Yu Fengguang, squeaking as if guarded.

Yu Fengguang gently and slowly stretched out his hand.

The strange bird screamed, and its feathers fluttered its wings, ready to take off.

Yu Fengguang hurriedly took a few steps back and gently signaled: I have no malicious intent, I retreat, don't move.

Seeing Yu Fengguang retreat, the strange bird retracted its wings, buried its huge head in its wings, and obediently crouched beside Lan'er.

Jinxiu, who had been lying beside Yilu, wagged his tail and signaled to Yu Fengguang.

This is a routine order.

Yu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards Yi Lu's bed.

In the hazy light, Yu Fengguang's tall figure appeared.

"Sleep, we're all right."

Yu Fengguang lightly touched Yi Lu's hand, Yi Lu in the shadow blinked, although Yu Fengguang didn't see it, Yi Lu believed that his husband saw it.

Only then did she close her eyes and fall asleep with peace of mind.

Yu Fengguang's hand slowly touched his beloved wife's cheek, convinced that his beloved wife had fallen asleep, and tightly covered his beloved wife's feather quilt.

When he sat down on the edge of the fire again, Yu Fengguang said, "Tomorrow, you have to renovate the area around the house and dig more pits for the beasts." Since Jiufeng hadn't returned to the spirit realm for five years and was injured, something must have gone wrong, and the beasts that hurt her would come looking for the scent. ”

Yu Fenghong put down a small and worn book in his hand and asked, "Dad, must you be Jiufeng?" ”

Yu Fengguang nodded: "Back then, when it didn't come out of nine heads, it was only for a moment, and I only had a glimpse, unless it conjured nine heads, I can't be sure." But your sister was born to listen to birds, and seeing the strange bird crouching beside your sister may be true. ”

"What are the beasts that are chasing and killing Jiufeng? I think it's similar to the monsters when my sister was born. ”

"I've never seen any of these monsters before. When your sister was born, I thought it would attract wolves, tigers and leopards, but I didn't expect that none of these vicious beasts in the mountains appeared, but they inexplicably led to sleeping birds and donkeys. ”

"At the beginning, two donkey monsters were attacking me behind me, and the big bird with nine heads in the sky rushed towards the donkey monster, striking them with powerful wings and attacking them with sharp and sharp claws, so that I was able to escape." Yu Fenghong recalled.

"Jiufeng is human, it protects your sister and smells that you and your sister have a common smell, so it didn't hesitate to save you. When you saved it today, did it hurt you or resist? ”

Yu Fenghong said in surprise: "Exactly. After I picked it up, it didn't struggle, and obediently carried it home by me. ”

"Sleep, I'll go around the mountains tomorrow and see what monsters are there." Yu Fengguang fell by the fire.

Yu Fenghong gently picked up an elm branch and added it to the fire.

The elm branches in the fire pit crackled and burst into flames.
