Little Jiaze's mother's face was cloudy and worried.
After playing with the child for a while, Mr. Liu told her, "There are no people who understand this in our town, but fortunately there is a Linshui Temple in the urban area, isn't it?"
Linshui Temple is also a famous scenic spot in the East China Sea, although it is more famous in the industry. The woman didn't believe this before, but after hearing Mr. Liu's words, she felt that it would be fine if she went to Linshui Temple. At least, this place isn't some unknown sorceress' house, it's relatively formal, so it doesn't hurt to have a look.
After the woman left, Duan Jiaze chatted with Mr. Liu. It was too late today, and they made an appointment for the next day to discuss.
Mr. Liu knew what he was going to talk about, so he seemed very excited. He is still in good health, and he can still perform for a few years. Although his voice is not good, his son and apprentice can still sing.
The next day, Duan Jiaze met Mr. Liu, his son, and his apprentice. Director Ma from the Propaganda Department was also present, and they negotiated the matter of inviting them to perform at the zoo.
The prime time for the zoo is weekends. Duan Jiaze invited them to come over and perform a few shows every weekend, and also specially create plays related to the zoo. This will pay extra for the manuscript. As for the winter and summer vacations, there will be more sessions.
Director Ma smiled all over his face, and said to Mr. Liu's son: "Is the business of the store you are running now okay? Last night, there were still inquiries from the tour operators. Maybe someone besides Director Duan invited you to the performance. Are you busy then?"
Mr. Liu's son was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, "My son is helping in the store now, and my junior brother..."
His younger brother, Mr. Liu's apprentice, usually works part-time, and does not have a particularly stable job. If there are many performances, his junior brother can be regarded as a career.
After negotiating the price and conditions, Duan Jiaze asked people to draft a contract. Starting next week, they will be able to perform at Lingyuan.
Mr. Liu has a lot of shadow puppet characters, including those of animals. Duan Jiaze asked him to create children's plays related to animal protection. In fact, the most important thing is the script.
Duan Jiaze said that not only can it be combined with animals, but it can also be combined with the legend of the East China Sea.
Mr. Liu was greatly inspired and went back to study.
Duan Jiaze also used Lingyuan's platform to widely publicize that there will be a dragon shadow puppet show in the Science Popularization Museum, and various traditional plays will be staged, and there will be popular science dramas in the future.
Many children are willing to sit down and watch the performance in the science museum, and the spirits are being recruited. They have a lively discussion about which animal the children like to make the protagonist.
According to statistics, monkeys, pandas, and parrots received the most votes.
Children actually like monkeys and parrots very much. Pandas are cute. Of these two animals, one is most similar to humans, and the other can talk.
Mr. Liu adopted these kinds of animals as the main characters. When the performance day came, he said to Duan Jiaze, "Director Duan, I made a golden cudgel."
Duan Jiaze didn't understand what it meant for a while, "Huh?"
Mr. Liu took out a shadow puppet, which is a stick, and it is a stretchable stick. When the two sides are pulled, the small stick can grow longer and become a very long stick.
It turns out that in Mr. Liu's design, the monkey in the protagonist is the disciple and grandson of Monkey King Monkey King, and he also has a copycat version of the golden cudgel in his hand. He also specially designed a set of movements for the golden cudgel, and the little monkey can use this stick to perform many tricks.
"This idea is quite ingenious," Duan Jiaze said cheerfully. Shadow puppetry that is closer to modern aesthetics must enhance the plot and interest.
Mr. Liu showed him a clip. The golden cudgel grew longer on the screen following the "long, long, long" dubbed by him, it poked another animal's butt, and was thrown up and down in the air Fly.
There were also some children who hadn't left after watching the shadow puppet show. Seeing Mr. Liu's demonstration, they all excitedly said, "This is the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!"
Recognized in a second.
Duan Jiaze also played with it a bit. He also took out the monkey, but his operation was not as flexible as Mr. Liu's. Even so, the children onlookers also clapped and applauded, all for the characters.
Duan Jiaze smiled and said, "I also wanted to have a golden cudgel when I was a child. It's so awesome."
…
After coming out of the popular science museum, Duan Jiaze walked back. Just now, Mr. Liu told him that the previous tour operators really came to them to make an appointment to perform and exhibit local folk customs for foreign tourists. Duan Jiaze suggested that "The Soul of the East China Sea" can be performed.
When he walked to the office building, Duan Jiaze caught a glimpse of a familiar piece of clothing hanging on the wires next to the dormitory building. He looked carefully and saw that it belonged to him. It was still drying on the balcony when he went out in the morning. A strange wind blows down.
Duan Jiaze looked left and right, "There is no bird..."
"Director, what are you looking at?" While Duan Jiaze was thinking, Yuan Hong appeared, and he stood beside Duan Jiaze casually, with his arm on Duan Jiaze's shoulder.
Duan Jiaze said calmly, "It's Mr. Xing. It's a small matter. My clothes were blown onto the wires, and I was trying to get them off."
Yuan Hong questioned: "Then have you thought of a solution?"
According to his understanding of the human race, the director seems to have nothing to do now, and the height ladder can't reach it.
Duan Jiaze: "... It looks like I'm helpless, but I'm actually waiting for some bird to pass by."
A magpie or a parrot can help him take off his clothes, or give Lu Ya a call... Of course, that would be a bit overkill.
Yuan Hongle made a sound, touched his belly and laughed: "Director, you are quite funny."
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Duan Jiaze looked at the clothes on the wire, and wondered if he asked Yuan Hong to climb up here, would anyone see him.
He was thinking about it, when he saw an iron rod in Yuan Hong's hand, it was really his weapon.
As soon as Yuan Hong stretched out his hand, the iron rod rose in the wind, getting longer and longer. Then he moved his hand and used the iron rod to pick up the clothes on the wire. drop down.
Duan Jiaze reached out to catch the clothes, and said pleasantly, "You will also get longer?"
Yuan Hong: "Yes, iron bars can become longer, don't you know?"
Duan Jiaze shook his head honestly, "How do I know, but I see how you hold it so weighty, last time I held it lightly, it's like nothing..."
When a person holds something in his hand, whether the thing has weight or not can be seen from his state, unless the person is showing off his acting skills.
Duan Jiaze looked at Yuan Hong holding the iron rod, and it seemed to have some weight, which was also in line with the material. The last time he held it, although it was metal, it felt as light as nothing. Originally, he thought it was because of the special material of the iron rod, after all, it came from the fairy world, but seeing Yuan Hong holding it himself, it was not like that.
Duan Jiaze stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the iron rod, but Yuan Hong had sharp eyesight and quick hands. When he turned his wrist, the iron rod disappeared.
Yuan Hong turned sideways and said, "This is really heavy. I made it lighter last time for your convenience!"
Duan Jiaze suddenly realized: "That's right, I said so."
It's no wonder so many monkeys like to use sticks, from Yuan Hong to Monkey King to the six-eared macaque, they all use sticks.
Speaking of other monkeys, Duan Jiaze said to Yuan Hong: "Actually, I just wanted to ask for your opinion. There is a shadow puppet show in our garden. They have made up a new play with animals from the zoo as the protagonists. One of them is a monkey. Because the golden snub-nosed monkey is our most precious monkey, the performer wanted to set it as a golden snub-nosed monkey.”
The only golden monkey in the garden is Yuan Hong. Although Duan Jiaze strongly suspects that Yuan Hong hasn't been to work for a few days, he can always be seen playing outside...
Yuan Hong readily accepted: "Yes."
Duan Jiaze said cautiously: "But there is another problem, that is, they still want to set this golden monkey as the descendant of Monkey King..."
Yuan Hong: "..."
Seeing Yuan Hong's strange expression, Duan Jiaze said awkwardly: "If Mr. Xing is not willing, then forget it. We set it as an ordinary macaque."
It's understandable, everyone is a monkey, why should I be your descendant in the play. Mr. Yuan Hongxing became famous a little earlier. When Duan Jiaze asked this question, he just wanted to make sure that he had tried it.
Who knew, Yuan Hong nodded slowly and said, "It's okay, just use it."
Duan Jiaze opened his eyes wide: "Really?"
Yuan Hongman said indifferently: "Anyway, those human races don't know it's me."
"Thank you Xingjun, you are so magnanimous and generous!" Duan Jiaze praised Yuan Hong fiercely, and after seeing Lu Ya too much, he said "I don't have any face when it spreads to the Three Realms", Yuan Hong is even more human.
What's more, just now Yuan Hong used his weapon as a clothes pole to help him fetch clothes. This human nature is really not bragging.
It was unnatural for Yuan Hong to hear Duan Jiaze praise himself so much.
Duan Jiaze suddenly felt that the four waste stars were better people, except for him stealing peaches and skipping work...
…
…
Since Kunpeng brought back the kitten rescued from the telegraph pole, he has taken good care of it every day. Schrödinger had already been weaned when he came to the spirit world, but the kitten was only about a month old. Kunpeng got goat milk and put it in a feeding bottle to feed the kitten.
Kunpeng saw that the kitten's mouth was not strong enough, so he enlarged the small hole at the front of the bottle to make it easier for the kitten to feed.
Schrödinger took care of the kitten during the day, and Kunpeng himself took care of it at night. Several times, Duan Jiaze saw Kunpeng holding the kitten like a child while feeding it with a bottle in the other hand. In the back, you can eat some soaked food, and Kunpeng also feeds it into the kitten's mouth himself.
Even Lu Ya had a strange expression after watching this scene, as if he had eaten something dirty.
Yousu also said: "I didn't expect the demon master to have such a side full of maternal love..."
At first, Duan Jiaze didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Many children were very kind to pets, but Mr. Kunpeng was rather gloomy. But after Su told him what Kunpeng's adult form looked like, he understood Lu Ya's mood.
Under the care of Kunpeng and Schrödinger, the kitten grew from being so weak that it was the size of a palm to jumping up and down and biting the curtains. At this time, it was time for it to leave the spiritual realm.
Duan Jiaze helped to print out an adoption notice and posted it in the zoo. With Lingyuan's traffic, there was no need to post adoption notices on the Internet, and soon local tourists expressed their willingness to adopt.
Kunpeng chose a family among several tourists, a family of three consisting of a young couple and a little boy in elementary school. They already had a dog at home and wanted to raise another cat.
It is said that the dog was raised by the little boy when he was born, and he is now seven years old. It seems that their family is still very responsible.
Now that Kunpeng agreed, Duan Jiaze also handed over the kitten to them.
The kitten was very reluctant when it left, and kept meowing at Schrödinger until it was packed into a bag and stuffed into the car.
…
The little boy named the kitten "Da Wang" in the car. After returning home, their domestic golden retriever immediately came up and found this new partner, barking and wanting to see it.
The king flinched in the little boy's arms, and the little boy immediately drove the golden retriever away, because the parents said that they should be isolated first, so that they can get acquainted with each other slowly.
The king lived in the little boy's house for a few days, and he and the golden retriever stayed in separate rooms at the beginning, and now they can share the same room. The golden retriever is very interested in the kitten, and walks around holding the kitten by the back of the neck at every turn.
The little boy taught the golden retriever: "Don't bully the king. The king will become a tiger when he grows up. Be careful that he walks around biting you in the future."
The little boy believed in his own speculation, you know, they were the adoption revelations they saw outside the zoo's tiger exhibit! Very likely, what they brought back was not a cat, but a tiger!
It's a pity that the tiger cub is too weak now, if the golden retriever squeezes it casually, it will roll to the side.
The king was also very angry. The new dog kept licking him from head to tail, making him drool all over his body. It doesn't think that it will grow up to be a tiger, but you must know that when it was in the zoo, several big dogs there respected it very much (because it smelled like a Kunpeng).
The big dogs are also equal to Schrödinger, so in the king's impression, he is equal to the big dog. Unexpectedly, the dogs here do not play cards according to common sense, and the dog's feet come over and overwhelm the king.
like now...
"Meow meow!" Don't lick it! The king was on all fours, licking his belly with the golden fur's tongue, his paws kept patting the golden fur's big head, his body twisted and turned, and his tail was stiff.
The golden retriever buried his head in sucking for a while, then happily raised his head and ran away.
Panting, the king turned over, lying on the ground and meowing: "Damn big dog!"
They stayed in the little boy's room. At this time, the owner's family of three went to a friend's house as guests without bringing any pets.
At this time, the window on the 23rd floor was opened from the outside, and the night wind was blowing loudly. A big long-haired cat came in on tiptoe and looked down at the king.
"Meow!" The king stood up and called out excitedly.
Schrödinger jumped down from the window sill lightly, and behind him, Kunpeng also got in, closed the window with his hands back, and he also jumped down, sat on the carpet and hugged the king, "Let's visit back and forth."
"Meow, meow." The king tilted his head and licked Kunpeng's hand, very excited.
"Woof!" The golden retriever rushed back from the living room when he heard the movement, and stood at the door and yelled at Kunpeng. Although most golden retrievers are clingy by nature, they are not the kind of dumb dogs who will make out with strangers who show up in the house.
Kunpeng didn't even look up at it, Schrödinger jumped onto the bed and breathed condescendingly at the golden retriever.
After all, Schrödinger had practiced for a while, so the golden retriever was startled, and he lay on the floor and whimpered.
Schrödinger stared at the golden retriever covetously, "Meow meow?"
King: "Meow!"
Kunpeng rubbed the king's stomach, and said lightly: "It likes to lick you? And it makes you roll? Then you should lick it back too."
…
"I'm back!" The little boy ran into the room after changing his shoes. The hostess reminded him behind him, "Are you going to hug the cat again? Remember to wash your hands!"
The little boy rushed into the room and saw the kitten staying obediently in the cat's nest. He reached out to pet the kitten and asked, "Has the king eaten obediently? Can I give you some dried fish today?"
The golden retriever also heard the master's voice, followed the sound to find it, and called to the master affectionately.
The little boy put the king down and patted the golden retriever's head again, "Good boy."
Usually, when the golden retriever sees the king, he will definitely step forward to "molest", but today is an exception.
After the king was placed on the carpet, he raised his neck and barked at the golden retriever.
"Woof..." The golden retriever froze all of a sudden, and lay down, its tail still moving uneasily.
The king stepped on its legs, climbed onto the golden hair's head, and let out a bragging cry.
The little boy's eyes widened, "Wow!"
Has his kitten really evolved? Is this exuding tiger power and scaring the dog
The king lay on the golden retriever's head and stretched out his small tongue to lick the dog's fur, but it was too small, and it only licked a small area after a while. With another cry, the golden retriever carefully tilted his head, allowing the kitten to slide off his head.
The little boy was called by the hostess to take the fruit, and the kitten stayed in the room, eating the newly poured cat food that the little boy had just poured.
The king buried his head in eating the cat food, while the golden retriever lay behind him and looked at its tail eagerly. He really wanted to play, but he didn't dare. It can be said that he was very wronged. Even after the king finished eating, it had to contribute its own tail for the king to pat and play with.
Golden Retriever: "Wow, woof!"
This is not what I imagined life would be like with cats!
—
"Where did Mr. Kunpeng take Schrödinger? I just cut the salmon, and I plan to give Schrödinger some to eat." Duan Jiaze said, he just searched everywhere for Schrödinger but couldn't find it. Normally, Schrödinger would run over by himself as long as he shouted.
"I'm going to visit Kitten." Kunpeng said calmly.
Duan Jiaze: "... a return visit? But we made an appointment before, it was a video return visit."
Kunpeng: "The video return visit is not good. I went to watch it myself. Don't worry, there is no one in his house, only a dog and a kitten."
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Duan Jiaze said in a messy manner, "It's more scary if there are no talents. You didn't do anything to the dog, did you?"
Kunpeng was silent for a moment before saying, "No."
"Forget it, I also left some salmon for you, come and eat." Duan Jiaze decided not to worry about this issue, and he led him into the lounge.
Schrödinger and the others spent a lot of time on their return visit. Others had already finished eating, and now they went back in twos and threes. This was as contagious as yawning, and the lounge was empty after a while.
Besides Lu Ya, he was still sitting on the sofa because Duan Jiaze hadn't left yet.
Duan Jiaze was watching Kunpeng feeding Schrödinger salmon. He thought it was interesting for Schrödinger to eat.
And Schrödinger is really getting bigger and bigger, weighing more than 20 kilograms, adults have to hold it with both hands, and with the fluffy hair, it looks even bigger.
Lu Ya seemed a little anxious because he was in the same room with Kunpeng and there was no one else. If he hadn't been waiting for Duan Jiaze, he wouldn't have stayed here. At this time, his face was a little gloomy, and he urged impatiently: "Can you come back?" go back?"
Duan Jiaze didn't even realize that Lu Ya was waiting for him over there, so he came back to his senses and said, "Okay, I'll put away the plate."
Kunpeng glanced at Lu Ya, stretched his thin arms, slid down from the chair, hugged Schrödinger and said, "I'm going back."
Duan Jiaze nodded slightly, and saw Kunpeng walking out with the cat in his arms. When he passed the sofa, he paused and nodded to Luya.
Lu Ya directly turned his head away, and when Kunpeng went out, he said with a serious face: "I said that the aquarium is too annoying, and it smells fishy everywhere."
Duan Jiaze said in astonishment: "I can't smell it... But, is Kunpeng a member of the aquarium? Isn't he a Kun in the water, and a Peng out of the water?"
Lu Ya: "That's why I hate it even more! I'm still a double-faced man!!"
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Such an accident happened to Lu Ya when he was a child. It can't be blamed that he has always been hostile to Kunpeng. He restrained himself if he didn't beat Kunpeng to death. Kunpeng himself was also cautious.
Duan Jiaze comforted: "Then you eat fish or not, there is still some left."
Just now Kunpeng slipped away in fright without finishing the fish.
Before Lu Ya could swallow that breath, he walked to Duan Jiaze's side, "Don't eat."
Duan Jiaze ate the remaining slices, and cleaned up the bowl in his hand, "By the way, what kind of life did you live when you were a child, did you want wind and rain?"
At that time, Tianting was still the leader of the Yaozu, and Lu Ya was still His Highness.
Lu Ya gave him a strange look, and then slowly said: "Now this deity also wants the wind to get the wind, and the rain to get the rain."
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Lu Ya recalled: "When I was young, I was relatively simple. Apart from cultivation, I could play with a tree for half a day, and there was nothing interesting. Although your human race is weak, you are more creative."
"How old was it then?" Duan Jiaze gestured, "Is it as big as a hen just hatched? Has it grown hair? Eat the egg shell or keep it?"
With great interest, he asked about the life details of the three-legged Jinwu.
Lu Ya held his breath and looked at Duan Jiaze, "Why are you asking so many questions? Of course you have grown hair!"
Duan Jiaze: "What does it look like? Many birds are completely different when they are young and when they grow up."
Lu Ya was silent.
Duan Jiaze laughed out loud: "I must have asked about black history, did you look like a chicken when you were young..."
Lu Ya became angry from embarrassment, and grabbed Duan Jiaze to come over and kiss him.
Duan Jiaze covered his mouth, "I just ate fish, don't you hate aquariums?"
Lu Ya: "..."
The two were very close. When Duan Jiaze saw Lu Ya's golden-red hair, he thought that he would sleep on Lu Ya's body for a few days when the bed was broken. At first, I felt that Lu Ya had a bad temper and hated ghosts, just like the prince in the anti-X drama. Later, gradually, I realized his true disposition. When "forced" to be together, Lu Ya showed many surprises.
The worst part was that he suddenly realized that when Lu Ya was about to kiss him just now, what he thought of was not even dodging, but joking with a very natural smile, and he had already accepted it subconsciously.
Could it be that he has been bent by Daojun
Lu Ya didn't know why Duan Jiaze was staring at him suddenly in a daze. He was aggressive and lifted Duan Jiaze up. Now that Duan Jiaze was staring at him, his cheeks could not help but blush, and he looked away unnaturally.
Duan Jiaze's heart was beating extremely fast, and he swallowed reluctantly, only feeling that his tongue was dry, and he confided his heart like a ghost.
He was a little flustered, stumbled and said: "What should I do, I, I think... I like you..."
"...?" Lu Ya's dodging eyes stopped, and he frowned at Duan Jiaze: "Did you not like me before?"
