She lives in seclusion on weekdays and rarely comes into contact with others except for going to work.
It's just that Feng Bei is a natural stranger with an ominous destiny, and her movements affect the whole city.
Whether the raven crows or flies or not is closely related to Fengbei.
So when Feng Bei stayed at Zheng's house for one night and did not leave Zheng's house until lunch, the news spread quietly in the night.
At noon.
Zheng Xiu had a hearty lunch at his home for the first time in a long time.
Zheng Erniang was in a good mood and cooked the meal herself. A table of sumptuous dishes made Zheng Xiu relive the taste of his childhood.
I don’t know whether Zheng Erniang made a steamed chicken on purpose or not. She tore off the drumsticks of the chicken at the dinner table with a smile, stuffed it to Zheng Xiu, and said, "Eat more and grow up."
The pretty flowers on the table didn't know what was going on. They laughed so hard that their branches trembled, and even teased the young master to eat more chickens and grow bigger.
The two events of the young master recognizing his ancestor and returning to the clan and the second mother's recovery brought long-lost joy to the Zheng family.
Zheng Xiu originally wanted to stay with Feng Bei to have dinner with him.
Dinner table culture, it’s easy to discuss business at the dinner table.
But Fengbei refused and left alone, saying that she didn't like eating with others.
Zheng Xiu muttered that you were eating noodles with me that day.
After meal.
Zheng Xiu assembled the characteristics of the incarnation and the "Form One" of the monster Jiazi, and hurried to Ye Weiyang Station.
In front of the inn.
Feng Bei stood there quietly, with his hands behind his hands, looking out of place with the bustling street, as if there was another dull and dull world around Feng Bei.
There was a cage standing at Fengbei's feet, and there was an orange kitten in the cage.
The orange cat took a nap listlessly in the cage, lying down lazily.
Sensing someone approaching, Feng Bei opened his eyes. One side of his long hair naturally hung down, covering his ominous right eye. Feng Bei smiled and said, "You're here."
There was a night guard in the inn who stuck his head out and watched quietly.
Who did Mr. Shang Xian San have an appointment with?
Feng Bei turned around and glanced back. The gossipy night guard was so frightened that he retracted his head into the inn, not daring to look any further.
"Shall we take a carriage? Where are we going?"
Zheng Xiu successfully made an appointment with Feng Bei.
Fengbei agreed to the young man's invitation.
To put it simply: dating - going to appointments and meetings.
Zheng Xiu wanted to use Feng Bei as a super experience pack to increase his skill level.
Firstly, Fengbei wanted to find out from Zheng Xiu the whereabouts and truth of his benefactor twenty years ago; secondly, he wanted to repay his kindness and train Zheng E into an adult, a thaumaturgy that would not be bullied by anyone but the elite among the elite.
The two had their own thoughts, so they hit it off and made an appointment to be together.
"Go to a quiet place." Feng Bei answered Zheng Xiu's two questions in one sentence, and then pointed to the cage at his feet: "You will raise it from now on."
An orange cat?
"Is this your cat?"
Zheng Xiu opened the cage curiously, and the cat's eyes lit up. It opened its eyes, its green eyes stared at Zheng Xiu, and the cat's whiskers trembled slightly.
A person and a cat look at each other.
"Meow."
The orange cat stretched out its paw towards Zheng Xiu, and its pink flesh ball pointed towards Zheng Xiu.
"Wow!" Zheng Xiu looked surprised at first, and then a little disgusted: "Why isn't it black?"
He knew that this orange cat should come from the same place as Dou Xie and Yue Yan's cat, but the coat color was too different.
"Meow woo woo woo..."
The orange cat's face turned pale, as if he understood the disgust in Zheng Xiu's eyes.
Feng Bei shook his head, ordered a carriage, and hired Ye Wei as the driver.
"Sorry, the horse doesn't like my smell. Please drive to my place."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Shangxian San, you're welcome!"
"drive!"
The driver whipped his whip to control the horse, and the carriage flew away in a cloud of dust.
The cage was left in the inn, and the orange cat was very good and did not run around. In the carriage, Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei sat face to face, and the orange cat squatted on the boy's lap.
Only then did Feng Bei explain the origin of the cat.
It turns out that the raven and the soul-chasing lantern raised by Ye Weiyang grew up taking "soul cores" since they were young, so they have psychic abilities.
To put it simply, it means being able to detect abnormalities that ordinary people cannot detect.
If the long-term use of "soul core" makes the cat's hair become dark, which is called the "soul chasing lamp", then it is considered to be a good habit.
But this orange cat is a defective product that cannot tolerate the "soul core".
Feng Bei was not directly promoted to Shang Xian San, she stayed in the position of "Yue Yan" for half a year.
When she was receiving the soul-chasing lantern, the scene of thousands of cats screaming at the same time alarmed Ye Weiyang's cat owners.
Feng Bei knew this and was not surprised. Later, she found this trembling young orange cat in the corner.
The orange cat was as scared as the other black cats, but the way the orange cat looked out of place with the other black cats made Feng Bei think of himself involuntarily.
Even though she knew she couldn't keep it, she still picked the orange cat. Otherwise, according to the "defective product" treatment method, the orange cat would eventually die.
She usually fostered the orange cat at [Zhenlingren] Bi Shui. Now when she planned to train Zheng Xiu to become a member of Ye Weiyang, she remembered this orange cat and secretly thought that Zheng Xiu was born psychic and did not rely much on the soul-chasing lamp.
In terms of ability, this orange cat is very suitable for Zheng Xiu.
After telling the origin of the orange cat in one breath, Feng Bei held his chin in one hand and looked out the window.
From this angle, Zheng Xiu couldn't see Feng Bei's expression. Feng Bei said calmly: "The soul-chasing lantern is not necessary for you. It's just that with the soul-chasing lantern, it makes you look a bit like Ye Weiyang. But if you don't want to raise it,
I won’t force it, just let it go back to the wall and live out the rest of its life, which may not be a bad thing for it.”
"Yeah?"
Zheng Xiu put his hands under the orange cat's upper arms and lifted the entire cat. Master Zheng lowered his gaze.
Well, it's a little female cat.
The orange cat's legs were stretched straight, a little nervous.
Zheng Xiu held up the orange cat and approached Feng Bei.
The orange cat's tail suddenly raised.
Pull the orange cat back, and the orange cat relaxes.
Get close to Feng Bei and pull him back. Get close to Feng Bei and pull him back. Watching the little orange female cat's tail move up and down, Zheng Xiu suddenly realized: "It seems that she is really afraid of you."
Feng Bei pursed his lips and was speechless.
"Hehe, I've got one!" Zheng Xiu weighed the orange cat and said, "As the saying goes, nine of the ten orange cats are fat, and one of them is bigger than the kang. This cat is so thin, maybe it was born with a different species.
.By the way, what’s its name?”
Feng Bei still looked out the window: "No name."
"Look," Zheng Xiu teased the cat's paw and complained: "Your master didn't even give you a name. It seems you are destined to fall into my hands." Zheng Xiu said jokingly,
Then he looked at Feng Bei, and for some reason he felt that the cat was somewhat similar to Feng Bei. He couldn't tell how similar he was, but he just felt that they were similar.
A name blurted out: "From today on, your name is Xiaofeng."
Click!
Feng Bei held his left hand, and a large piece of the window sill was cut off, causing the wind to escape. Feng Bei finally couldn't help turning his head, with a look of surprise on his face: "You, what did you call it?"
"Xiao Feng, what a nice name." Zheng Xiu ignored the startled Feng Bei and pointed at Xiao Feng: "Come on, Xiao Feng, let's hear two beautiful meows."
"Meow!"
"Xiao Feng!"
"Meow!"
"Xiao Feng!"
"Meow!"
"Xiao Feng Xiao Feng!"
"Meow meow meow~"
Feng Bei: "..."
She suddenly regretted handing over the orange cat to the boy to raise.
Listening to the conversation between the two people in the carriage, Ye Wei seemed to hear a new world.
Secretly, Mr. Shangxian San will personally lead the newcomers?
Also sent out the soul-chasing lantern in advance?
Aha? This is valuable news!
Secretly making a note, the night guard driver remained silent and drove out of the official road into a remote side road.
For an hour along the way, Zheng Xiu was teasing Xiaofeng, mouthing Xiaofeng one by one, and the orange cat mouthing "meow". Looking at the gradually deepening relationship between one person and the cat, Feng Bei clenched his fists, feeling that something was wrong with the meowing in his ears.
Finally the ordeal was over and the carriage arrived at its destination.
The cold wind blew up the dead leaves and swirled them high into the sky.
Under the pressure of gloomy clouds, there is a steep and straight mountain peak in the distance.
The mountainside is so high that it reaches the clouds, and the clouds are lingering, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Here we are, Mr. Shanxuan San."
The night guard coachman left in a hurry, not daring to stay.
Among the dead trees and branches, a few ravens were startled by Feng Bei, and there was a brief confusion.
Zheng Xiu remembered that Feng Bei said that her family lived on a cliff. Zheng Xiu opened his mouth wide, and the cat squatted on Zheng Xiu's head, also opening its mouth wide.
One person and one cat looked up at the steep mountain peaks.
"Could you tell me that you live on the top of the mountain?"
"follow me."
Feng Bei entered the forest alone and ran towards the steep peak.
Arriving deep into the forest, Zheng Xiu saw an iron wedge sunk into the soil. The iron wedge was connected to a chain and extended to the top of the mountain.
The iron cable is as wide as a person's fist. The iron cable should have rusted due to exposure to the sun and rain, but the upward side of the iron cable has been polished smooth and shiny. It is obvious that someone often walks this dangerous mountaineering route.
"Can you go up?"
Feng Bei turned around and curled up the corners of his lips, half smiling.
The cheerful meows of the Xiaofeng orange cat made her inexplicably annoyed all the way, and now she seemed to be trying to regain her place.
"It's a bit difficult to climb the chain." Zheng Xiu shook his head and frowned. He noticed that the clouds and mist around the mountain peak were twisted and strange.
There was no one around, Zheng Xiu stopped pretending, his chest was beating, his heartbeat was pounding, claw-like patterns were all over his body, his fangs were stretched out, and his wings were spread out.
"Then I'll fly up."
The young man held the little phoenix orange cat in his arms and pointed to the top of the cliff not far away.
