There was a strong wind and hail one night, it was still dark, and there were a few ghost laughing birds quacking on the roof. Zhan Zhao didn't even mention that he saw the ghostly clouds floating above his head last night. In short... everything was revealed.

Weird.

Zhan Zhao originally wanted to fly up to the roof and drive away the three birds, but he was chased by the three birds and almost fell down. These birds had amazing fighting power and pecked Zhan Zhao like a cat.

Lin Yehuo and Xiao Liangzi both hid in the corridor and watched Zhan Zhao being chased by three birds and running all over the yard.

Fortunately, as soon as the door opened, Yaoyao flew out, and Xiaowu next door also ran out. Seeing that the three birds dared to bully Zhan Zhao, Yaoyao and Xiaowu flew up and down, forcing the three birds.

Went to the corner.

The three birds huddled pitifully, and their feathers fell all over the yard.

Xiao Wu roared, and the three birds shivered in fear, and their cries changed from quacking to squeaking, as if they were begging for mercy.

In the room, Master Wu, who was sitting on the bed and covering the ears of his sleeping son, heard the commotion outside. What are you doing?

Zhan Zhao looked at the three stupid birds quite pitifully. He probably had learned their lesson, so he called Yaoyao and Xiaowu back.

When Yaoyao and Xiaowu came back, they stopped in front of Zhan Zhao and looked at the birds with disdain, as if to say - try bullying my cat again?!

Zhan Zhao hugged both of them and touched their heads - so capable!

The three birds quickly ran away.

However, this commotion woke up almost everyone in the handsome manor, and several shadow guards also came over to take a look at the situation.

Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, everyone was not in a hurry to return to the Devil City, so they went back to their rooms and decided to sleep a little longer.

Zhan Zhao went back to the room, closed the door, lay down on the bed, and told Bai Yutang that there was nothing wrong, just a few birds.

Bai Yutang knew about the Ghost Laughing Bird, "I saw this kind of bird in the Tianshan Mountains when I was a child. People in the Western Regions regard them as a sign of great misfortune. In short, their appearance is usually accompanied by unlucky things.

Zhan Zhao was very calm, not nervous at all. He chose a comfortable angle to lie down, pressed the corner of the quilt with Tuanzi, waved his hand and said, "Whatever, a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!"

Bai Yutang also laughed and lay back.

This time, the two of them slept until dawn.

…

Early in the morning, when Zhan Zhao opened his eyes again, he saw that the fourth son had already gotten up and was folding the quilt.

Zhan Zhao yawned, sat up, looked around, and asked the fourth son, "Where is Xiao Baitang?"

The fourth son said, "I went to buy breakfast for nothing."

The fourth son folded the quilt and said to Zhan Zhao, "Little Liangzi and the others were eating fried buns just now. They said they smelled good and went to buy them for us."

When Zhan Zhao heard the words "fried buns", he immediately felt better, stretched out again, and lay down.

The fourth boy tilted his head and looked at Zhan Zhao, stretched out his hand, poked Zhan Zhao's belly, and then pinched the flesh on his own belly, seeming a little confused.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "Do you want to lie down for a while? Let's get up again when Xiao Baitang comes back!"

Xiao Sizi sighed, folded his arms and said to Zhan Zhao with a serious expression, "Xiao Liangzi and the others have already started practicing! Maomao, why do you never practice?"

Zhan Zhao made the fourth child amused. He leaned his chin on the pillow and looked at him, "I practiced with them when they were so young."

"Are you as diligent as Xiao Liangzi?" Xiao Sizi asked curiously.

"Hmm... almost." Zhan Zhao nodded.

The fourth son also lay down and imitated Zhan Zhao, holding his chin with one hand and chatting with Zhan Zhao.

"So Maomao, what did you do all day when you were my age?"

"Well, when I was your age?" Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "I lived in the Demon Palace most of the time. I got up early in the morning to practice with my grandpa, and then ate breakfast cooked by Jiuniang. After breakfast

Studying lessons with Uncle Xiaofu and the others is similar to how Mr. usually teaches you. You have lunch with the grandparents in the Demon Palace at noon, play around in the afternoon, occasionally go out for dinner, and play in the evening..."

The fourth son looked at Zhan Zhao silently, "Mao Mao, you have been playing! What are you playing with?"

"Play with the grandparents in the Demon Palace." Zhan Zhao gave the fourth child an example, "For example, in the first year of junior high school, I went to Grandma Heishui's snake forest with my grandpa to see snakes; in the second year of junior high school, I went to the streets with Aunt Hong and the others.

Buying clothes; on the third day of the lunar month, I went fishing with my little uncle; on the fourth day of the lunar month, I went to play plum blossoms; on the fifth day of the lunar month..."

Zhan Zhao told the fourth son with his fingers.

The fourth child held his chin and began to mutter, "That seems to be similar to me."

Zhan Zhao was amused by him and asked him, "How do you spend your day?"

"Me." The little fourth son calculated. "I wake up in the morning and study pharmacology with my father first. Then I have breakfast, and then I study homework with my grandpa with Xiao Liangzi and the others. I will eat with you at noon, and sometimes with Zunzun in the afternoon.

We go shopping together, or go to the theater, or go to the doctor with dad, or investigate cases with you... I play with Xiao Liangzi and the others in the evening, and we often go out for dinner together."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Then we are indeed similar. When I was young, I practiced martial arts and you studied medicine."

The fourth son glanced at Zhan Zhao again and waved to him.

Zhan Zhao leaned over and the fourth son asked in a low voice, "Maomao, did you often encounter murders and other things like this when you were a child?"

Zhan Zhao thought about it seriously, and finally tilted his head, "No!"

"When did that start?" Xiao Sizi was curious.

"After coming to Kaifeng... uh..." Zhan Zhao shook his head again, "No, I encountered a lot of bad guys when I came down from the Demon Palace and traveled around the world. I caught a lot of bad guys who cheated, kidnapped and stole.

The fourth son nodded, "Maomao, you are very famous! When my father and I were in Shaoxing Mansion, we heard people talking about Nan Xia Ke."

Zhan Zhao reflected on himself, "Maybe... probably... probably..."

The fourth child helped him sum it up, "Is it because you always meet bad people that you do good things all the time?"

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, "It seems..."

"Maomao, why don't you admit it more readily?" Xiao Sizi looked at Zhan Zhao with a smile.

Zhan Zhao also looked at him for a while, then reached out and poked his arm. The little boy made a "bang" sound and buried his face in the pillow.

"Pfft..." Zhan Zhao was startled. He didn't expect this effect, but he found it interesting, so he quickly held back and poked the fourth child, whose face was buried in the pillow.

The little fourth son raised his head with a whoosh, turned his face, and glanced at Zhan Zhao. Sure enough, Tuanzi's expression gradually became dangerous.

…

When Bai Yutang came in with breakfast in his hands, he saw a tangle on the bed, and the fourth son was pinching Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao held his head and begged for mercy, shouting, "King of Tuan, have mercy on me."

The little fourth son became more and more angry as he listened, and the small bean bag-like fists fell like a "storm", as if they were helping Zhan Zhao to beat his back.

Bai Yutang looked at the two of them with some confusion. Why did the cat seem to be bullying Tuanzi, and then Tuanzi was in this state, fighting a tiger...beating a cat boy?

After putting down the breakfast, Bai Yutang went over to pick up the little dumpling, put it on the table, combed his hair, and directed Zhan Zhao, "Cat, wake up!"

Zhan Zhao got up to wash his face and went out to meet Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang.

Seeing them going out early in the morning, Zhan Zhao was quite puzzled and asked, "Aren't you going to the Devil's City today?"

"I can't go." Lin Yehuo waved his hand and said he would leave tomorrow.

Zou Liang said that there were strong winds and hail last night, and some houses in the city were damaged. Some things were also damaged in Zuoying. Today, the soldiers are going to repair it.

Zhan Zhao asked them to go first, and he and Bai Yutang also went to the city to help after dinner.

In the room, the fourth son probably heard it and asked Bai Yutang, "Bai Bai, have any houses collapsed in the city?"

Fifth Master thought for a while, "I didn't see it nearby, but many people were saying this morning that the wind was quite serious last night, and a lot of trees fell down in the west of the city."

"Is anyone injured?" The fourth son was quite worried and decided to go out to the street with the medicine box to take a look later.

Zhan Zhao washed his face and disappeared. After a while, he came back. He had already gone to the roof just now and looked around. Indeed, the wind blew away many tiles last night and many trees fell down.

.

While talking about the situation on the street, Zhan Zhao took a bun and brought it to Xiaotuanzi's mouth first, "Ah~"

The little fourth child groaned, Zhan Zhao picked up another steamed bun, looked at Bai Yutang, then put it to his mouth, "Ah~"

The fifth master also ate.

When Zhan Zhao went to pick it up again, Xiao Sizi and Bai Yutang each picked one up and brought it to his mouth, "Ah~"

When Zhao Zhen and Nangong came in, this was what they saw.

Zhao Zhen sat next to the fourth son and opened his mouth, "Ah~"

The fourth boy also gave him a bun, and at this time Zhao Zhen's "ah" changed its tone.

The fourth son looked at the emperor in confusion.

Nangong on the side gave him a jealous gesture.

The fourth boy took the steamed buns, dipped them in vinegar, and put them in Zhao Zhen's mouth.

Zhao Zhen ate it with satisfaction and nodded, praising how delicious the buns were.

"The wind last night was so scary!" Zhao Zhen said, "I was woken up in the middle of the night. I opened the window and took a look. What do you think I saw?"

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen—what did they see?

"I saw four moons in the sky!" Zhao Zhen said mysteriously, "The four of them were arranged neatly, and they just flew over from above!"
