It snowed heavily overnight, turning the entire Kunzhou city into a snow-white world.
In the early morning, the sound of birdsong outside the window woke Zhang Sui from his sleep.
Last night, Zhang Sui, who had no spiritual power in his body, practiced for most of the night. In the morning, he heard a few roosters crow at home before lying down. He slept for less than two hours.
Zhang Sui was dazed and didn't care at first, but suddenly he woke up. No! Because of the jujube tree, ordinary birds did not dare to come to his courtyard. Zhang Sui got up, put on his clothes, opened the window and looked
In the courtyard.
I saw a little bluebird circling around the jujube tree, chirping, as if discussing something with the jujube tree, but the big jujubes on the jujube tree miraculously disappeared.
Seeing that the communication was fruitless, the little blue bird was about to hit the shivering jujube tree hard, when Zhang Sui opened the window and looked over.
Seeing this, the little blue bird hurriedly fluttered its wings and flew towards the front yard without looking back.
Zhang Sui faintly heard the sound of some women playing in the front yard, and knew that it must be Zhang Xin, the third sister, coming over.
Zhang Sui yawned, got up, washed himself, put away the map with the directions marked last night, and then walked out of the bedroom.
I came under the jujube tree and took a look. There was really not a single jujube left.
Zhang Sui was a little puzzled. Fang Xiong shouldn't have picked up all the jujubes on it. Did they freeze in the snow? Zhang Sui pushed the snow under the tree with his feet, and there were no traces of jujubes on the ground.
What's going on?
Zhang Sui patted the jujube tree, infusing it with a trace of spiritual power, and said, "Where are your jujubes?"
The leaves of the jujube branches were whirling, and on a branch close to Zhang Sui, a jujube flower slowly opened, and a faint fragrance floated into Zhang Sui's nose.
In the blink of an eye, the jujube flower withered, revealing a small jujube. Then, as if time had sped up, under Zhang Sui's surprised eyes, the little jujube grew into a giant jujube in just a few breaths.
A large, plump, bright red and juicy jujube.
Zhang Sui laughed and said: "I didn't expect that you also learned to hide your clumsiness, not bad!"
After saying that, Zhang Sui picked off the jujube and took a bite. It was delicious and juicy, and the taste was still the same.
Then he walked leisurely to the front yard. The jujube tree behind him, which had dancing branches and leaves, fell silent upon seeing this, like a stunned man.
When Zhang Sui came to the front yard, he saw Zhang Xin, her little girl Xiangyun, and the newly joined Xi Rou running around the yard, with snowballs flying in their hands.
Fang Xiong's head was covered with traces of being hit by snowballs. He looked at the three of them and giggled. There was a lot of snow in front of him. He was still holding the snowballs in his hands to provide firepower to the three girls.
When Zhang Xin saw Zhang Sui walking into the courtyard, two snowballs came whizzing towards her face.
At this time, Zhang Sui's skills were not a big deal, so he directly reached out to catch the two snowballs thrown, and ran straight towards Zhang Xin with a sinister smile on his face. Zhang Xin screamed in fright, and hurriedly
After hiding behind Fang Xiong, Zhang Sui finally hit him on the head with a snowball.
Zhang Sui was also hit all over his head during the counterattack by several people.
Zhang Sui had never been in such a relaxed and carefree mood for a long time. This scene reminded him of the time he had a snowball fight with his cousins in that world.
Looking at Zhang Xin, who was flushed, in high spirits and running around chattering, Zhang Sui's eyes were full of love and affection.
When the girls got tired of playing and came to the back room with steaming faces, Aunt Liu had already prepared hot water for them to wash their hands and wipe their sweat.
Zhang Sui followed him into the side room. Aunt Liu saw the marks all over Zhang Sui's head and laughed a little. She quickly handed him a hot towel and asked him to wipe it off.
The two girls, Xiang Yun and Xi Rou, had been having a very fierce snowball fight just now. After they calmed down, they looked at Zhang Sui who was wiping his face and felt a little at a loss. The two of them took great credit for Zhang Sui's appearance.
Zhang Sui chuckled, waved his hands and said, "You guys can go out first, Xin'er and I have something to say."
Xiang Yun and Xi Rou breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiang Yun even stuck out her tongue. They quickly helped Aunt Liu carry the basin out, and closed the door before leaving.
At this time, Zhang Xin was unpacking a backpack, which actually contained Mirage Zhizhi. After Zhizhi was placed on the table, Zhang Xin said with a proud face: "Second brother, come and see what Zhizhi is now.
Not beautiful?"
Zhang Sui came forward and took a look. He was wearing a set of small clothes, and his hair was carefully combed and tied into a small bun.
At this time, Zhizhi was not holding the mirage dragon ball in his arms, but Zhang Sui could feel that the mirage dragon ball was in the brocade bag around Zhang Xin's waist.
Zhizhi bowed to Zhang Sui and mumbled something.
Zhang Xin said proudly on the side: "Zhizhi said thank you to my second brother for not killing her, and also thank you for sending her to me."
Zhang Sui looked at Zhang Xin in surprise and said, "How do you know what she means?"
Zhang Xin said: "I had a long dream last night. I dreamed that in the depths of a beautiful sea, Zhizhi was beside me. In the dream, I could understand everything Zhizhi said. When I woke up, I found
I can understand Zhizhi’s words in reality.”
Zhang Sui thought to himself: "No wonder the medical arts say that the mirage dragon and the shark clan are naturally compatible."
Zhang Suidao: "Did she tell you about her origins?"
Zhang Xin nodded and said: "Zhizhi said that she has lived in the deep sea for more than a hundred years, and she only gave birth to Lingzhi last year. Out of curiosity, she approached the sea area of our human race, and was caught by those who fished for marine products.
"
Zhang Sui was noncommittal, looked at Zhizhi and said, "Really?"
Zhizhi nodded quickly.
Zhang Xin said: "I didn't expect that Zhizhi is so old, why does he still look so young?"
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "The age of a spirit like Zhizhi should be calculated from the moment she gave birth to spiritual wisdom. Before that, she acted based on instinct."
Zhang Xin said excitedly: "In the dream created by Zhizhi, there are many magical scenes in the depths of the sea, as well as all kinds of strange sea creatures. It is really interesting."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xin's expression became a little confused again, and said: "Zhizhi said that I have shark blood and will eventually return to the sea. What is going on, second brother?"
Zhang Sui touched Zhang Xin's hair and said: "It's okay. There are quite a few people in our human race who have the blood of those alien races. Many of them ate those powerful alien flesh and blood in ancient times, and their blood contains some
The blood of a foreign race is not a rare thing, you don’t have to worry."
Hearing this, Zhizhi quickly said a few words to the side.
After listening to Zhizhi's words, Zhang Xin said to Zhang Sui: "Zhizhi said that the blood in my body is not evil blood, but the natural blood after intermarriage. The two are different."
Zhang Sui frowned and asked Zhizhi, "What is the evil bloodline?"
Zhizhi whispered a few words, and Zhang Xin said: "She said it was the bloodline that was contaminated after eating the flesh and blood of hundreds of them."
Zhang Sui nodded, held Zhang Xin's hand and used medicine. He carefully checked the Mermaid bloodline in her body and found that it was indeed significantly different from the alienated people he met in the secluded land.
In the blood of those alienated people, the conflict between human blood and alien blood can be felt all the time, but the blood in Zhang Xin's body is extremely peaceful, and there is no difference between human and alien.
Maybe it was really a big boss of the Zhang family who married a beautiful girl from the Shark clan. It is absolutely impossible for a Zhang family member to marry a Shark clan, because no matter what era legends say, all the men from the Shark clan are
It is extremely ugly and has not lost its animal form.
Women, on the other hand, are just the opposite. They are really like a fish that sinks into the sea, and the beauty of the moon is shy. The prototype of this can already be seen from Zhang Xin.
The current Zhang Xin has not fully grown yet, but she is already pretty and cute. Everyone can tell that she is a beautiful woman, and she will probably become even more extraordinary when she grows up.
Zhang Sui stared at Zhizhi and asked, "What else do you know?"
Zhizhi said a few more words with a timid look.
Zhang Xin didn't wait for Zhang Sui to look over and said directly: "She said that the aura of the shark blood in my bloodline is very strong. She only let me fall into a dream once, and I was able to escape the restrictions of the sea water, and even obtained the Mirage Dragon Pearl.
Tempering. This kind of purity of blood is rare even among the shark clan."
As he spoke, he took out the mirage dragon ball hanging from the brocade bag at his waist, Zhang Sui reached out to take it and looked at it.
Holding this mirage dragon bead in your hand, it feels like holding a piece of warm jade. It is hard in texture. The whole bead has no fixed color and changes at any time. It looks dreamlike. Staring at it for a long time, it seems that the whole person's consciousness is gone.
All will be sucked into it.
This kind of impact on the sanity is no longer stressful for Zhang Sui now, and Zhang Sui's sanity is as solid as a rock.
Zhang Sui could feel that this mirage dragon ball contained a lot of spiritual power, but not the power of calamity, and he was slightly relieved.
He handed the Mirage Dragon Ball back to Zhang Xin and said, "Keep it well and let Zhi Zhi tell you more about the situation of the ocean. It may be of great use in the future."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin took the Mirage Dragon Ball and nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Zhang Sui couldn't help but touch her hair again.
He turned back and stared at Zhizhi closely and said: "Now you know why I said I would find you a good master, right? Teach Xin'er well, and you will also get great benefits. I know you are definitely not that simple, but I don't care.
, as long as you don’t hurt her, everything else is easy to talk about. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Zhizhi nodded repeatedly and said a series of words.
Zhang Xin said: "Zhizhi said she would definitely not hurt me. After her cultivation reaches the next stage, she can cast the contract of life and death. It is a unique contract between their race and the shark clan. It can only be cast once in a lifetime. After it is cast,
We depend on each other in life and death, never leave or leave."
When Zhang Xin said this, she couldn't help but pick up Zhizhi, gently brushed Zhizhi's hair with her hands, and said, "Okay, Zhizhi, I believe you!"
Zhang Sui looked at the two of them from the side and said to Zhizhi in a calm tone: "That's fine, my family is very important to me. If they are harmed, no matter what race you are, I will definitely kill them all."
!”
Zhizhi trembled all over as he heard the words about killing Tengteng in a homely tone, filled with fear.
Zhang Xin was extremely moved when she heard this. She put down Zhizhi, came over and hugged Zhang Sui's arm, gently shook her and said softly: "Okay, second brother, I know you love me, don't scare Zhizhi. Look.
She feels scared when she sees you now. Aren't you usually very good-tempered? Why do you act like this when you see her? "
Zhang Sui touched Zhang Xin's hair and was speechless. He had watched the movie "The Legend of Shushan", and Zhang Sui was deeply impressed by the demon spirit who seduced Dan Chenzi into the devil's path.
Therefore, even though the branches were long and lovable, he always had some vigilance. If it weren't for the medical skills that said she and Zhang Xin were similar in cultivation, Zhang Sui would not have given her to Zhang Xin.
Even after giving it to Zhang Xin, Zhang Sui showed a cold and ruthless attitude towards Zhizhi intentionally or unintentionally. The purpose was to warn this unknown and obviously not simple spirit not to do anything to harm his family.
At this time, someone knocked on the door gently, and Xi Rou's gentle voice came: "Second Young Master, Third Young Miss, Aunt Liu invites you to come over for dinner."
Zhang Xin quickly said: "I know Sister Rou, we will come right away!"
After saying that, he put Zhizhi into his backpack, took Zhang Sui and headed out to the front hall.
While having breakfast, Zhang Sui saw that there were only a few little girls and Aunt Liu on the table, while Fang Xiong and Lao Lu were nowhere to be found.
Zhang Sui asked: "Why aren't Lao Lu and the others here?"
Aunt Liu's face turned red, she put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and whispered: "The two of them went to prepare what they need tomorrow. It snowed heavily last night, and the courtyard over there is no longer suitable for directly placing banquets. Laolu is going to build a big shed, called
Nobita went over to help."
Zhang Sui suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Then we really need to make good arrangements. I will ask Xiangyun to go to the mansion later and call a few more people to help, so that Lao Lu and the two will not be too busy."
Aunt Liu quickly said: "Don't bother Second Young Master, there are people from Lao Lu's family coming to help, as well as some of his comrades, they are all there to help. We already have enough manpower."
Zhang Sui nodded and said no more.
After dinner, Zhang Xin wanted to take Xiangyun with her to a seafood store to buy food for Zhizhi. Zhang Sui was originally going to accompany her there, but Zhang Xin disliked her and said that they would also go to a rouge and gouache shop. It would be very easy to take him with her.
It's an inconvenience.
Zhang Sui gave up with a wry smile. Looking at the little bluebird hiding on the roof, Zhang Sui felt relieved, knowing that Zhang Xin's safety should not be a problem.
Zhang Xin and Xiangyun, who was carrying a backpack with branches on their backs, held hands and went out happily. The little blue bird followed closely and flew on Zhang Xin's shoulder.
Zhang Sui shook his head and returned to his small courtyard. The jujube tree, which was swinging its branches and leaves to shake off the snow, felt Zhang Sui's return and immediately became motionless.
Zhang Sui stepped forward with a smile, touched two handfuls of tree trunks, and said, "I will send you to Mr. Meng in a few days. Before leaving, aren't you going to give me some jujubes as a parting gift?"
The jujube tree remained silent, as if it had not heard his words.
Seeing that it had no response, Zhang Sui said: "It seems that it won't do any good for you to ignore me!" As he spoke, he poured a trace of spiritual power into the jujube tree, and the amount was only about one percent of a big jujube.
.
There was a crisp crackling sound, and a branch as thick as a baby's arm broke directly and hit Zhang Sui on the head. Although it didn't hurt, it shocked him.
Zhang Suiqian smiled and touched the hit area, muttering: "Oh, you are stingy!" After saying that, he walked into the bedroom.
