The golden sunset shone on the Jiuchongtian, and the Xiaoyao Temple was surrounded by clouds and mist, but the smoke was curling up above it, and it didn't look like the non-human fireworks in the past.
Ah Lian was entertaining Goddess Hongzhu in the courtyard.
Ever since they met each other, Goddess Hongzhu ran to Xiaoyao Hall every now and then.
Goddess Hongzhu looked into the hall, saw that Ah Lian was alone, and asked, "Why are you alone?"
Speaking of the child, Ah Lian smiled and said, "The more naughty you are, how can you stay at home?"
Goddess Hongzhu thought for a while, then asked cautiously: "Is there no news about uncle?"
Ah Lian's smile paused, but she wasn't as sad as she was at the beginning, she just smiled slightly and said, "...um." But she added, "He will be back."
A year ago, the beast that was sealed in the extremely cold place broke through the barrier, polluted the water source, and caused countless deaths and injuries. Shangshen Rong Lin and Shangshen Xiao Bai went to seal the flying beast together. But in the end, Feishou exploded to death at the water source in the world, and the plague in his body made the water source more polluted. Ronglin Shangshen purified the water source with his phoenix heart aperture, which can bring the dead back to life.
Later, Xiao Bai went to God, but he couldn't find Rong Lin.
Goddess Hongzhu also knew that the two had a deep relationship and had children together. But it's been so long, and there's no news about Ronglin Shangshen, and Rong Linshangshen lost his mind again, maybe it's already... She has selfish intentions, so naturally she doesn't want her aunt to wait so hard, but let her find another good son-in-law , it is impossible to say at this moment.
Ah Lian was talking to Goddess Hongzhu when suddenly dark clouds filled the sky and thunder rumbled.
Goddess Hongzhu came quickly, so she was naturally used to this scene, so she said, "But are you crying again?"
When Ah Lian got up, he saw a tall and burly man coming over the clouds, holding a little girl in his arms. As soon as she arrived in the yard, the little girl came down and ran towards Ah Lian with her short legs.
Ah Lian was small, bent down, hugged the little guy into his arms, raised his hand to wipe her big watery eyes, and said, "Didn't you say you won't cry?"
As soon as the little guy cried, there was a thunderstorm in the Nine Heavens.
The little guy didn't care, and fell into his mother's arms crying, his tender horns bumped into Ah Lian's neck, making Ah Lian's neck itchy.
Ah Lian had nothing to do with her, so he raised his eyes to look at the white sturgeon, and said, "Brother White Sturgeon, thank you very much."
Ah Lian had to take care of the children, so he did not continue to practice in Jiuxiao Pavilion, while Bai Yu and Tian Luo continued to stay in Jiuxiao Pavilion. Now the new class of disciples is being recruited. When the new students enter school, they will be senior brothers and sisters.
Fish each have their own aspirations, the white sturgeon aspires to cultivate immortality, and Ah Lian is docile, and originally hoped to be a good wife, fish, husband and child, and now married and had children, so naturally he can stay at home with peace of mind.
The one in her arms is the second egg she gave birth to alone not long after God left.
The second egg hatched in only one month, and she is a cute and delicate little girl. Ah Lian felt that Shangshen would definitely like her daughter, but to disappoint Shangshen, this girl was also a little chubby dragon who could call wind and rain, not at all like Shangshen.
The two little guys are growing up fast, and the silly boy who is only one and a half years old now looks like he is four or five years old, and he is very naughty.
Ah Lian sent him to the nursery affiliated to Jiuxiao Pavilion.
The daughter was too young, so Ah Lian took it with her to take care of her. Today, she was clamoring to find her brother, but she ran back crying like this. She must have had a fight with the idiot.
Goddess Hongzhu stood aside and looked at the white sturgeon carefully. Seeing that this white sturgeon was tall and handsome, he was a single fish, and he and Ah Lian were fellow villagers of Dongze Lake, and knew that he had a deep love for Ah Lian, so he came here frequently The intention of the temple is clearly revealed.
Goddess Rong Lin is worthy of her aunt, and even if she wants to marry, this swordfish from Dongze Lake, Goddess Hongzhu thinks, is not good enough for her aunt.
Even if her aunt is going to remarry, she should find someone of the right family.
Just when the daughter was speaking ill of her brother in front of Ah Lian, she saw the little dumpling carved with jade carvings in the nine heavens, riding back majestically on a pegasus.
The little guy was carrying a bulging little book bag on his back, and his face looked like a little tabby cat.
When he came down, Ah Lian wiped the little guy's face with a handkerchief, frowned and said, "How did you make it look like this? Also, didn't you say that you are not allowed to bully your sister?"
The little guy said solemnly: "The idiot didn't bully my sister." Then he explained, "Uncle Meng Ji invited me to eat skewers today."
The little guy likes to eat skewers, which is very similar to his father.
Ah Lian said, "Then you shouldn't ignore my sister."
The little guy thought for a while and felt reasonable, so he said seriously to his sister: "I'm sorry..." He handed over the peaches he just picked from the Peach Garden from his bosom, "Here."
The younger sister took the elder brother's big peaches, and only then burst into laughter.
The two little guys were obedient, and Ah Lian breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the idiot put down the book bag, took out the contents, and said to Ah Lian, "Mother, the idiot picked up a big bird."
big bird
Ah Lian heard the reputation, and saw the big bird in the little guy's hand. It was completely black, and several feathers seemed to be burnt. It was ill and looked very listless.
Ah Lian is a freshwater fish, so he knows a little about the animals at the bottom of the water, but he knows very little about the animals on land and the birds in the sky, so he couldn't tell what kind of species this big black bird was. .
The two little guys squatted on the ground and poked the big bird with their fingers, having a great time.
The idiot raised his head and asked Goddess Hongzhu: "Cousin Hongzhu, do you know what kind of bird this is?"
Goddess Hongzhu wanted to save face, so she couldn't say she didn't know in front of her cousins. Immediately said: "This... probably is a pheasant｜."
Pheasant.
"Yes! It's a pheasant." Goddess Hongzhu smiled and continued solemnly, "And I think it should be a silky chicken, which is very healthy."
The idiot immediately said: "Silkie..." Then he excitedly said to Ah Lian, "Mother, the idiot wants to drink chicken soup."
The younger sister also yelled, "I want it too."
Ah Lian smiled, and said, "Okay, mother will cook for you tonight."
Sha Dan took his sister's hand and said that he was going outside to pick some small mushrooms as ingredients for the stew.
Before the white sturgeon left, he looked at the silky chicken at his feet, and volunteered: "I'll get rid of this pheasant for you." Then he bent down, as if to pluck the pheasant.
Goddess Hongzhu said: "The visitor is a guest, how can I bother the guest to do it, let me do it." She absolutely did not allow this swordfish to get close to her aunt.
The white sturgeon didn't stop, and the Goddess of Hongzhu also held tightly. The two of them were holding the pheasant's wing, and they were in a stalemate, neither of them would let go.
The limp pheasant let out a few painful cries, Ah Lian stood aside, saw the pheasant's eyes opened, and then stepped forward and said, "I'll do it myself."
Ah Lian made a move, so Bai Yu and Goddess Hongzhu naturally had no choice but to let go.
Ah Lian hugged the pheasant into his arms, looked at its weak appearance, gently stroked its head, and said softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Ah Lian had no plans to stew pheasant. When the two little guys came back holding hands and carrying a small basket of fresh mushrooms, when they heard this, they drooped their little faces, pursed their mouths, and were a little unhappy.
The younger sister was more sensible, and said in a childish voice: "The big bird will hurt if its feathers are plucked. Let's raise it, shall we?"
The fool had no choice but to nod.
The three mother and son built a nest for the injured pheasant next to Tianma's stable in the front yard and took good care of it.
Silly Dan was afraid that the pheasant would run away, so he tied the pheasant's right leg with a rope. When the pheasant's injury was better, the brother and sister held the rope and walked the chicken for a long time.
'
This day, White Sturgeon came over to repair the roof of Ah Lian's kitchen.
Although the Xiaoyao Hall is low-key and luxurious, it is a building tens of thousands of years old. It was well preserved before because it would not be windy or rainy. Since the two little guys were born, the Xiaoyao Hall has been flooded every now and then. The roof of the kitchen was in disrepair for a long time, and it started to leak the day before yesterday. Ah Lian planned to do it himself, but the idiot met the white sturgeon in Jiuxiao Pavilion, so he inadvertently told the white sturgeon about it. After the white sturgeon found out, he took the tools to fix the roof for Ah Lian without saying a word.
Everyone is here, Ah Lian can't refuse.
The white sturgeon is a good fish at home, and he repaired the roof in a few strokes, and enthusiastically showed Ah Lian to see if there were any leaks in other places.
Seeing that the white sturgeon was dripping with sweat, Ah Lian brought him some tea and snacks. The white sturgeon is rolling up its sleeves, revealing a pair of muscular, strong, wheat-colored arms. He suddenly asked: "Fathead Yu, what are your plans for the future?"
Ah Lian said directly: "I'm just an ordinary fish. I don't have any other plans. I just want to take good care of the two children and wait for the God to come back." When the God was mentioned, Ah Lian smiled slightly, as if the God was It's an ordinary business trip, and I'll be back in a few days.
After a pause, Bai Yu mustered up his courage and reached out to shake Ah Lian's hand.
"Fathead fish, actually I..."
Before he finished speaking, a pheasant fell from the sky.
The spirit of the pheasant improved a lot. With flapping wings, it pecked fiercely at the white sturgeon. It was completely different from its usual docile appearance in front of the two little guys.
The white sturgeon wanted to make a move, but the idiot not far away said: "You are not good, you will pluck the feathers if you are not good."
Then he pulled the rope tied to the pheasant in his hand, and pulled it directly.
The pheasant flapped its wings, but it couldn't reach the rope that bound its right foot, so it lay on the ground, and then was forced to lift its right foot, and was slowly dragged by the little boy behind it in an extremely humiliating posture.
Ah Lian didn't look at the pheasant, but immediately said, "Brother Bailu, are you alright?"
White Sturgeon shook his head and said it was all right.
Ah Lian said: "It's getting late, you should go back quickly." After thinking for a while, he said, "No matter when God comes back, I will always wait for him."
A smile gradually appeared on the face of the white sturgeon, and then slowly said: "I understand."
At night, Ah Lian hummed a little tune to the two little guys, and only got up to close the window when the two little guys fell asleep. She suddenly saw a faint golden light in the yard, she frowned, put on her clothes and went out.
The yard was swept clean, except for a piece of golden feather that fell on the ground, shining golden.
Ah Lian froze in place, then slowly bent over and picked up the feathers on the ground.
She looked it over carefully, thought of something, and took out the phoenix feather worn around her neck...
'
In the stables, dozens of Pegasus horses are shiny and full of energy. At the corner of the stable, there was a temporary small nest, in which lay a pheasant with black hair, curled up into a ball.
On a quiet night, the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer.
The celestial horses raised their heads and saw a petite figure running towards them in the night.
Ah Lian ran to the stable out of breath, and the pegasus rubbed their heads one by one, trying to get closer to Ah Lian. At this moment, Ah Lian really didn't have time to pay attention to Tianma, and then walked slowly to the chicken coop, looked at the pheasant lying inside, and then slowly squatted down.
She raised her hand, stroked the pheasant's head lightly, and said, "God, is... are you back?"
Her voice was a little choked.
The pheasant paused, and looked at Ah Lian quietly with its eyes. The next moment, a golden light came out of its body.
The golden light faded away, Ah Lian looked at the person in his arms, then smiled and said: "...that's great."
The pegasus also stretched their necks one by one, and then reacted immediately, making a look of "I didn't see anything", and lowered their heads obediently.
'
By the lake, Ah Lian washed Rong Lin up, hugged his calf with a smile, trimmed his toenails, and murmured: "It's been a long time since God took a bath, and the nails are covered with mud. .”
Rong Lin's face was indifferent: "No one repaired it for me."
Ah Lian looked up at him, "I'll do it for God." She carefully trimmed his nails, then put his feet in the water, cleaned his toes one by one, and helped him He rubbed the mud off his legs.
Rong Lin said: "That day coincided with my nirvana once every five hundred years, so I came back a bit late."
With a simple sentence and nothing else to say, Ah Lian was very coaxing, nodded and said: "It's okay, as long as the Lord God is back."
After cleaning, Shangshen is still the charming and graceful Shangshen when I first saw him, as bright as a jade tree, still magnificent, making people fascinated.
The two sat next to each other on the big rock, and Ah Lian dipped his feet in the water, revealing a beautiful silver fishtail.
The fish tail flicked and flicked, splashing crystal and beautiful water.
Under the moonlight, neither of them spoke.
After a long time, Rong Lin said, "Ah Lian."
"Huh?" Ah Lian turned his head and looked at him.
Rong Lin untied the tightly covered skirt, it was originally a flawless body of white jade, but now there was a long, hideous scar on the heart. He pursed his lips before saying, "But Ah Lian... I don't care anymore."
Ah Lian looked at him in a daze, stretched out his hand to cover him, and murmured: "Because of this, Shangshen..." She paused, and said with tears in her smile, "Shangshen is so stupid."
She raised her hands, hugged his head gently, and let his ears stick to her heart.
She said softly: "It's clearly there, did God hear it?"
Rong Lin didn't speak, and after a long time, he hummed lightly.
Suddenly there was thunder, Ah Lian said: "The child is awake, let's go home."
"… good."
