The Birds Keep Ringing Chapter 23
byChapter 23 A Different Path for Shemales If I fall in love with someone else, what will you do…
On the way back, the two of them looked very unique.
Jiang Zhi was carrying large and small bags, looking like an assassin who had just robbed a wealthy family.Yunzhen was not idle either, carrying a roast duck in his left hand and a box of snacks in his right hand.
“Second senior brother.” Yunzhen suddenly called out.
“Do you think my parents would disagree?” Yun Zhen was a little uneasy. After all, he was the only seedling in the family. Although the seedling grew crookedly, “After all, you are…”
“Demon.” Jiang Zhi answered.
“No!” Yun Zhen looked around quickly, fearing that someone would hear him and cause panic. “I mean, you are a man. Whether you are a witch or not is a secondary matter. You can’t tell it anyway, but it’s hard to hide your gender. I can’t let you wear women’s clothes, right?”
Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment, and then said solemnly: “Steal you away.”
“Steal it?” Yunzhen couldn’t laugh or cry, “I’m not a thing, how can I steal it and carry it away in a sack? Kidnapping is a serious crime and requires beheading.”
“Like yesterday.” Jiang Zhi didn’t seem to be joking at all, “I climbed through the window in the middle of the night and took you away.”
“That’s called elopement.” Yunzhen corrected, “My courtyard wall is very high, and there is a big yellow dog guarding the courtyard, which is very ferocious. Besides, stealing people is not a good news.”
“Stealing?” Jiang Zhi frowned, “I only steal from you.”
Yun Zhen felt that discussing the usage of proverbs with a wooden person was like playing the piano to a cat. The second senior brother’s thinking was always like a straight line without any turns.
Elopement is not bad, although it is a bit unfilial, but it is quite exciting to think about it.
In the middle of the night, a peerless master climbed over the wall, broke into the house, kidnapped the rich young master, and started wandering around the world.If this was written as a storybook, it could be sold for five taels of silver if it didn’t say much. If it were written with a plot that everyone would like to see, it could be sold for more money.
“Okay.” Yunzhen said, “If you are bitten by Rhubarb, don’t fight back. He is a good dog.”
They were discussing how to implement this big plan, when suddenly they heard a noise coming from behind, and the crowd automatically separated to both sides, as if some wild beast had come out of the cage.
Yun Zhen followed the movement and turned around to look, oh, isn’t that Mr. Xie?
Xie Xiaoming was pushing away the crowd aggressively, staring at them with a livid face. He walked over in three steps and then blocked their way.
“Where is your shameless senior brother?”
“Thank you, Master, calm down.” Yun Zhen apologized, “A strong anger is harmful to the body and wrinkles are easy to form. If your handsome face gets wrinkles, it will not look good. What’s the matter? If you have something to say, please speak it out. We are all civilized people, and we should not use our words but our hands.”
“What happened?” The veins on Xie Xiaoming’s forehead were throbbing.
He said viciously: “After the martial arts competition that day, he came to me and cried so hard that he had seen through all the troubles in the world and just wanted to live a good life with me. He would come to me after I finished dealing with the Lu family’s affairs.”
“Then what?” Yunzhen asked knowingly.
“Then?” Xie Xiaoming sneered and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms. The piece of paper looked like it had been crumpled countless times and probably contained countless sleepless nights.
Yunzhen took a closer look, and saw a few words written on it: I lied to you, the world is far away, and we will meet again when we are destined.
I also drew a smiley face when I signed it, which looked very unworthy of a beating.
“Fuck you, uncle! See you again!” Xie Xiaoming pinched the note, “I never want to see him again in my life!”
“Uh…” Yunzhen asked experimentally, “If you don’t want to see him, then why are you looking for him?”
Xie Xiaoming choked and then became angry: “I’m going to kill him!”
Yunzhen looked at his covert look and found it a bit funny.The eldest son of a majestic martial arts family and the future head of the Xie family was actually eaten to death by a vixen.
This is probably the so-called evil will reap, and everything will be punished.
“I know where he is.” Yunzhen began to sell his senior brother without hesitation.
Who made the senior brother have fun there this morning? He also laughed at the second senior brother and made sarcastic remarks.Now it is the senior brother’s turn to be unlucky. Yun Zhen feels that this is his retribution in this world.
Anyway, it is a fine tradition of Liuyun Sect that fellow disciples betray each other. Master often betrays them, and they often betray each other. Everyone is used to it.
Yunzhen quickly reported his address and said gloatingly: “Master Xie, go quickly. If you go late, he may have run away again.”
When Xie Xiaoming heard this, he didn’t even say thank you. He rushed over with his sword in hand. The vendors along the way gave way for fear of being knocked away by this murderous hero.
Yunzhen looked at his back and exclaimed: “Is Senior Brother going to fall into trouble this time?”
Jiang Zhi said from the side: “He has already arrived.”
“Ah?” Yun Zhen didn’t react, “Why?”
“That night of the full moon.” Jiang Zhi said, “He went to save the red fox, but was discovered by Lu Feng and injured. He was rescued by Xie Xiaoming.”
Yunzhen opened his eyes wide: “How do you know?”
“Master asked me to follow him.”
Yun Zhen’s mind was a little confused.
But didn’t they sleep together that night?He clearly remembered that when he woke up the next day, Jiang Zhi was beside him, and he had also transformed back into human form…
Jiang Zhi seemed to know what he wanted to ask and answered first: “You are sleeping, I went out.”
“Then what?” Yunzhen asked, “What did you see?”
Jiang Zhi was silent for a while, looking at Yunzhen with a heavy look.”He rubbed against Xie Xiaoming and wagged his tail.”
“…”
No wonder the senior brother looked like he was having too much sex the next day. It turned out that he was not hungover, but was…
“Then why did he run away again?” Yun Zhen was puzzled. If you like someone, shouldn’t you want to be with them all the time?
Jiang Zhi glanced at him: “He doesn’t like people.”
“Huh?” Yun Zhen was very happy, dangling the roast duck in his hand, “I don’t like cats yet!”
“It’s different.”
“Why is it different? Why doesn’t Senior Brother like people? Hasn’t he already cultivated into a human form?”
“He is a demon.” Jiang Zhi said, “Humans and demons have different paths. Humans have feelings but are changeable. Demons are immortal and should not be tempted by humans.”
Yun Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he really understood.
The eldest brother has lived for three hundred years, which is enough for him to see many gatherings and reunions. He may have liked countless people and had fun with countless people, but he has always been a fox, a fox with a free nature and unwilling to be trapped by any fetters.
What’s more, those people, especially the so-called Jianghu Zhengdao, killed countless of his relatives and friends. He hated these people the most.
“Second senior brother.” Yunzhen asked suddenly, “You don’t think the same as the senior brother, do you?”
“No.” Jiang Zhi said.
“Then what if I change my heart?” Yunzhen asked deliberately, rolling his eyes, “What if I fall in love with someone else?”
Jiang Zhi thought about it seriously and then said, “Lock him up.”
This sentence should have made people scared, but because he said it too seriously, it was filled with a certain kind of simple affection.Maybe the only way a cat can think of to show love is to take something it likes home and hide it.
Yun Zhen felt sweet in her heart, even sweeter than the candied haws she just ate.Then he showed a big smile, his eyes were curved into crescents, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the sun shone on him, making the bright red clothes even brighter.
Jiang Zhi stopped and stood looking at him.
People were coming and going on the street, and the sounds of hawking were coming and going. Everyone was continuing to walk, but they were the only two who stopped there.
“Yun Zhen.” Jiang Zhi suddenly called him. These two words penetrated all the noise and reached Yunzhen’s ears clearly.
He freed up one hand to hold Yunzhen’s greasy hand, which was still holding the roast duck.
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t be afraid of me.” Those dark eyes looked directly at Yunzhen.
“I’m not afraid.” Yunzhen blinked, “You won’t eat me.”
As he spoke, he bared his teeth deliberately and made a fierce expression, but he didn’t look like a ferocious beast.
In the bustling street, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, something warm touched Yunzhen’s forehead.
A dragonfly touches the water and it is divided at the first touch.
It was like a feather gently brushing against the skin, it was itchy and hot.
The cries of the vendors disappeared, the noise of the crowd disappeared, even the rustle of the wind in the treetops disappeared.The only sound left in Yunzhen’s ears was his own heartbeat, as if someone was beating a drum, making his mind go blank.
He stood stiffly and subconsciously touched himself. Without feathers, he had not become smaller. He was still human.
Yay!No turning into a bird this time!
“I haven’t changed!” Yun Zhen jumped up with excitement, and the snack box in his hand almost flew out. He excitedly grabbed Jiang Zhi’s arm and shook it hard, “Second Senior Brother, look, I haven’t changed, I’m still a human being!”
The passers-by around him looked at him like a madman. A young man in red jumped up and down the street shouting “I’m still human.”
Some people shook their heads: “Why are you so young and so crazy? What a pity that face is.”
Another said: “Maybe he was stimulated by something, or he practiced some evil skills and went crazy. These days, people in the martial arts world are not normal.”
Yun Zhen was so excited that he was incoherent and didn’t care about other people’s opinions at all: “It means I have made progress. We can… we can…”
He realized that he had almost spilled the beans and braked quickly.
“What can you do?” Jiang Zhi’s mouth moved, and it was a very light smile, like the melting of ice and snow.
“Okay…it can be more exciting!” Yunzhen quickly changed the subject, “It’s nothing, nothing. Let’s go back quickly. If it’s too late, we won’t be able to see the excitement.”
When they slowly returned to the inn, the lobby was already full of people, and the atmosphere was very strange.
There was no flash of swords or shadows of swords as expected, and no blood splattered five steps forward.
Master and senior sister were sitting on a table in the middle, each holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands and eating them with gusto. There was a pile of melon seed peels on the table.
Xie Xiaoming stood in the middle of the stairs leading to the second floor, blocking it like a door god.
Xiao Fenzhi was lying on the railing on the second floor, holding a wine bottle in his hand and looking down helplessly.
Yunzhen sat down next to his master and grabbed a handful of melon seeds: “Master, which song is this song about? Farewell My Concubine or Romance of the West Chamber?”
The master spit out the melon seed skin: “Master Xie said that if he doesn’t speak clearly today, he will demolish the inn.”
“Then what does Senior Brother say?”
“Your senior brother said, demolish it, it’s not his shop anyway.”
Yunzhen: “…”
At this time, the shopkeeper came over with a sad face: “A few heroes, this small business can’t stand the trouble. Do you think… can we go outside to solve it?”
Yun Zhen patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and pointed: “Don’t worry, shopkeeper. Damaged items will be compensated according to the price. The young master with the sword is the young owner of Zhujian Villa. He has a lot of gold in his family to pave the floor. You can just put the most expensive tables and chairs out for him to smash. You will be compensated for the damage, and you will not lose any profit.”
The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up and he was doubtful: “This…isn’t this not good?”
“What’s wrong?” Yunzhen said carelessly, “Where can you find this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune?”
Wen Wan couldn’t listen anymore and gently tapped Yunzhen on the head.
Yunzhen covered his head and said aggrievedly: “I am helping the shopkeeper think of a solution. Senior sister, how can you hit me?”
“I’ll beat you.” Wen Wan said angrily, “You know how to deceive people with your mouth.”
Yun Zhen pulled Jiang Zhi pitifully: “Second senior brother, senior sister bullied me and didn’t let me speak.”
Jiang Zhi said expressionlessly: “You deserve it.”
Then he reached out and rubbed Yun Zhen’s beaten head.
What is this?First hit a stick and then give a sweet date?
snort!
Xiao Fenzhi sighed, raised his head and took a sip of wine, his eyes a little blurry.
“Thank you, Lang,” he said with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, “You are a pillar of the righteous way, and I am a mountain man. We are not from the same place.”
“Okay.” Xie Xiaoming threw the sword to the ground, “Then I won’t go home, and I don’t want the Xie family anymore. I don’t want any of the pillars of righteousness or status in the world!”
“Huh?” Xiao Fenzhi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting him to say that.The pair of fox eyes widened slightly, and they slowed down for a moment before refocusing on the other person.
Xie Xiaoming raised his head and looked directly at Xiao Fenzhi: “Didn’t you say that we are not on the same road? I will not leave the right path. I will go wherever you go. I will follow you to the end of the world, to the blue sky and the yellow spring.”
All the melon seeds in the master’s hand were scattered, and he was heartbroken: “What a sin, thank you, Master Xie, if you know about it, you won’t be so angry!”
Wen Wan was very moved: “This is what a man is.”
Yun Zhen poked Jiang Zhi’s arm: “Second senior brother, look at how good this person is at talking, why don’t you say something like this to me?”
Jiang Zhi thought for a while and then said, “I will go wherever you go.”
“What else?” Yunzhen was full of expectations.
“The ends of the earth.”
“And more and more!”
“Blue fall and yellow spring.”
Yunzhen: “…” What kind of cat is this? It can only repeat reading. If you don’t know, you might think it’s a parrot!
Yunzhen glanced at the two people who were still in a stalemate and felt that he would really not be able to return home if this situation continued, so he shouted to Xiao Fenzhi: “Elder brother, stop pretending, if you don’t come down, we will leave you here to pay off your debt!”
Xiao Fenzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Junior brother, where are you from?”
“Of course I am on the side of being able to go home early for dinner!” Yun Zhenli said confidently.
Xiao Fenzhi jumped down from the second floor, landed in front of Xie Xiaoming, and lifted his chin with his fan.”You speak as if I am some heinous villain.”
“You are not a good person to begin with.” Xie Xiaoming gritted his teeth.
“Then you are still following?” Xiao Fenzhi smiled slightly, “I want to send my junior brother home, what are you going to do with me?”
Xie Xiaoming grabbed his wrist: “What then?”
“Then…it depends on your mood.”
The master stood up, patted his butt, and shook off the melon seed shells on his body: “Okay, okay, let’s all disperse. Go and do what you have to do. We are about to set off.”
