"Mother, mother, mother!" A tender baby voice sounded in the stone house. The speaker was a young bird. While calling mother, it flapped its wings and flew into the air. It flew in front of Jiang Yingxue and stopped, with its eyes level with her.
The first person it saw when it opened its eyes was Jiang Yingxue, and it naturally thought Jiang Yingxue was its mother.
"Mother, mother!"
"Mom, hug me! Hug me!"
"Mother, why are you silent? Are you so happy to see me?"
…
The young bird flew around Jiang Yingxue, chirping non-stop.
A subtle feeling flashed through Jiang Yingxue's heart. She didn't even have a Taoist partner, so how could she have a child? Moreover, this child was a divine bird of noble blood.
She quickly denied it and gestured for a pause. "I'm not your mother. You've got the wrong person. No, you've got the wrong bird," she said, becoming somewhat incoherent. She pointed at herself, then at the bird. "I'm human, you're a divine bird, and your mother is also a divine bird. So, I'm not your mother. Do you understand?"
"Mother, mother, you are my mother!"
"Mother, how could you forget me? I am your child."
“Mother, mother…”
The young bird refused to listen to her explanation. It was convinced that she was its mother, and she was its mother. It didn't hear a single word of denial. Besides, she had a familiar and approachable scent, so how could she not be its mother?
The young bird flew directly into Jiang Yingxue's arms. It blinked its round eyes and looked at Jiang Yingxue. Its eyes were clear and innocent, making people unable to bear to hurt or reject it.
Jiang Yingxue looked helpless, and she patiently explained to it again and again that she was not its mother.
But the young bird was stubborn and didn't believe her explanation.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a full-length mirror and placed it in front of the young bird.
"Xiao Huang, look in the mirror. I am a human and you are a bird. How can a human give birth to a bird? I am really not your mother." "Xiao Huang" is the name Jiang Yingxue gave it temporarily. The young bird is covered with light yellow fluff, so it is most appropriate to call it "Xiao Huang".
The baby bird also looked at the full-length mirror. The figures of the person and the bird in the mirror were particularly clear. The baby bird also saw its own full-length photo. Its little eyes were full of shock. It was really different from its mother!
Did it really make a mistake?
As soon as this thought came into her mind, the young bird cried out, "Woo woo woo... I don't care, you are, you are my mother!"
Jiang Yingxue felt a headache as she looked at the crying baby bird in her arms. She softened her voice to comfort the baby bird, but still refused to acknowledge her identity as a mother. "Xiao Huang, don't cry. I really am not a mother."
"Woo, woo, woo..." The baby bird was still crying, and suddenly a "gurgling" sound was heard, coming from the baby bird's belly.
"I, I'm hungry." The young bird covered its stomach with its wings, its head drooping, and its voice sounded aggrieved.
The shells it eats are a great tonic that makes its body stronger and harder, but they cannot fill its stomach.
Jiang Yingxue sighed lightly and took out a red storage bag from the shelf. She opened the bag and took out a worm-shaped monster from it for the young bird to eat.
"Eat it." All mortal birds eat insects, so the divine bird should eat insects too, right? I wonder if this insect is suitable for the young bird's taste.
The young bird sniffed the insect, then took a few steps back in disgust and shook its head.
“This doesn’t taste good.”
"What about this?" Jiang Yingxue picked something in the storage bag and took out a second-level gray-winged horse monster.
The young bird still shook its head, "It doesn't taste good either, it's fishy."
Even though its stomach is growling with hunger, it is still picky about food. This young bird must be a picky eater.
Jiang Yingxue carried the baby bird in one hand and the second-level gray-winged horse monster in the other and went out of the stone house.
You dislike the fishy smell, right? It won’t be fishy anymore once it’s roasted.
Next, she made a fire to roast the monster and also prepared some seasonings to remove the fishy smell.
The young bird looked at Jiang Yingxue with admiring eyes, as if saying, if you were not my mother, how would you get food for me?
Jiang Yingxue couldn't stand the look in its eyes anymore, so she waved her hand and the full-length mirror in the stone house instantly moved out and stood in front of the young bird. No matter where the young bird went or faced, it could see its appearance and what it was doing.
Seeing the huge difference in appearance between itself and its mother, the baby bird, who had finally stopped crying, had red eyes and was about to burst out in the next second.
“Wuwuwu…”
"Don't cry. Sister, you can call me sister from now on." Jiang Yingxue put the roasted horse ears to the young bird's mouth. The young bird smelled the smell and subconsciously bit the food. "It's settled. Call me sister from now on."
The young bird sniffed and swallowed the food before tasting it. Then it looked in the mirror, then at the food on the plate, and accepted the name.
"Sister..." Let her be my sister. Although she is not my mother, she is still a relative.
It lowered its head and sniffed the food on the plate. It smelled delicious. It took a big bite. It had no fishy smell and was very fragrant. "Sister, it's delicious!"
The young bird looked up, blinked at her, and said, "Sister, my name is not Xiao Huang."
Xiao Huang Xiao Huang, the young bird really dislikes this name, it is too ugly. It is a divine bird, not a dog. Even if it is a dog, it does not want this name.
The horse leg on the other side of the grill was already cooked. Jiang Yingxue cut it into chunks and pushed the large basin in front of the young bird. Then she used a knife to score a few cuts on the horse's wings and sprinkled seasoning powder on them to make them more flavorful. "So, what do you want to be called?"
The young bird's eyes lit up, and it buried its head in the basin to nibble on the horse's leg. Two minutes later, it looked up with a sparkling gaze, "Zhu Zhao, my name is Zhu Zhao, sister, you can call me Xiao Zhao."
"Okay, then I will call you Xiao Zhao from now on. Xiao Zhao, you can call me sister from now on, okay?" But don't call her "mother" anymore, she can't bear it.
"Okay!" Xiao Zhao enjoyed the meal and responded promptly and decisively.
I have to say, Xiao Zhao is a much better name than Xiao Huang.
Seeing that the bowl in front of the young bird was empty, Jiang Yingxue put the roasted horse wings into its bowl.
Half an hour later, Xiao Zhao had eaten the entire second-level gray-winged horse monster, and it also burped, "Burp~"
After cleaning up the barbecue scene, Jiang Yingxue was about to go out. Xiao Zhao didn't want to be alone in the space, so he cried and asked to go out together.
Unable to resist Xiao Zhao's crying and acting like a spoiled child, Jiang Yingxue finally agreed to take it out, but she had to make three rules with it.
First, he couldn't speak when there were people around; second, he had to create a second leg and disguise himself as a normal Blue Mercury bird; third, he had to listen to Jiang Yingxue in everything.
Otherwise, no deal.
