Chapter 39:
Everyone is looking at me from the window, it would be inappropriate if I didn’t go out.
Wow, there are actually twelve red-crowned cranes neatly arranged in the yard, and each one is at least two meters tall. Compared with them, those in the zoo look like childish little brothers.
Moreover, these twelve red-crowned cranes have graceful and elegant postures, as if they flew out of an immortal scroll.
"Hiccup..." Twelve red-crowned cranes called out to the door in unison.
Sister Zhou was the first to react and asked Wang Dazhu to fetch some fresh fish, shrimp, fruits, and vegetables. She believed that a visit from a crane on such a joyous occasion was definitely a good thing, given the Chinese people's understanding of cranes.
Isn't it a tradition in China to have cranes delivering blessings to people on birthdays? This is exactly what's happening.
Wang Dazhu seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally left quickly as he was told.
Twelve red-crowned cranes stretched their necks and stood at the door, chirping one after another.
Seeing that the person at the door didn't respond, he started to look at me and I looked at you in a very human way, and finally pushed a crane out.
However, the crane that was recommended seemed to be not very courageous. After being pushed out, it stood alone in front of the group of cranes, looking back from time to time, and never dared to move forward.
Zhou Yanzhi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then took Xiao Yu's hand, took a step forward, and walked into the yard.
This action caused the cranes to stir again. Before anyone could even think to wonder, the cranes swarmed over and surrounded the two men.
The flock of cranes surrounding the two seemed very excited. Some were flapping their wings, some were twitching their long legs, and some were calling constantly. They tried to push "others" aside to get forward, but were blocked by the other cranes.
"What's going on?" Sister Zhou widened her eyes.
The little fat boy whispered to his sister, "Sister Hanhan, the red-crowned crane likes my uncle and my second uncle!"
Big sister Wang Han nodded in agreement and envy. She also wanted to be liked by Xianhe. It felt so cool.
Old Master Zhou was extremely excited. He had heard stories about the ancient martial arts world from his relatives before. It was said that in ancient times, there were masters who could attract spirit beasts to come to him from thousands of miles away to seek contracts.
If you are lucky enough to meet someone with unique bloodline, the contracted human can help you take your cultivation to the next level.
His grandson and granddaughter-in-law are already amazing!
This, this...
"Second girl, go and lock the door for me." Old Master Zhou suddenly said to Zhou Erjie beside him.
Zhou Erjie didn't understand what was going on, but after hearing what the old man said, and seeing such a strange and magical thing happening before her eyes, she immediately ran around the flock of cranes to the door and closed the yard door.
She closed the door quickly, and within ten minutes, a group of patrolling guards arrived outside the yard. However, because the door was closed, the people inside did not report the situation to the higher-ups, so they could only watch and did not dare to disturb them.
"Hiccup..."
"Hiccup..."
“…”
The cranes chattered one after another, as if they were expressing something or discussing something.
Surrounded Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu: ...
The two of them could sense what the group of red-crowned cranes were trying to say, but the problem was that they couldn't understand it at all.
"Haha, why do I feel like this is a job interview?" Xiao Yu said to Zhou Yanzhi awkwardly.
Zhou Yanzhi squeezed his hand and reassured him not to be nervous.
In fact, when he was a child, he had heard his grandfather tell some stories about spirit beasts choosing masters in the ancient martial arts world. However, he never thought that such a thing would happen to him.
Zhou Yanzhi's eyes swept over the cranes one by one, and finally landed on a crane that never spoke a word and would never let the other cranes "step out of line".
Apart from the crane, he actually doesn't have much use. If he really chooses a contracted beast, he would prefer it to be a falcon, a spirit snake or a sable.
However, the cranes that came to the door were making quite a lot of noise, and he could see that this group of cranes were very different from ordinary cranes. If he kept two of them, it would have a certain positive effect on the Zhou family's reputation.
A silly crane was pushed into the circle by other cranes in the crowd. The crane seemed a little confused. It had just tried hard to squeeze in but couldn't, so how could it get in all of a sudden and even get to a safe distance?
It looked at the other cranes, then at Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu, and wanted to retreat, but it couldn't find a gap.
However, the crane that had been noticed by Zhou Yanzhi before took a step forward, trying to make room for the silly crane to go back.
Zhou Yanzhi looked at the silly crane, then at Xiao Yu. He felt that the silly crane looked a lot like his child.
Since we have to keep two, we might as well keep these two!
Zhou Yanzhi raised his hand, gathered a little energy at his fingertips, and pointed it at Shahe and Gaolenghe.
The silly crane, who was about to squeeze out as Gao Lenghe instructed, suddenly felt the baptism of vital energy on his body. He stopped, turned around and looked at the two humans with Gao Lenghe.
"It's up to you." Zhou Yanzhi said.
"Hiccup..." The cranes suddenly fell silent. It seemed they not only understood Zhou Yanzhi's intention, but judging by their humane expressions, they also seemed a little unconvinced.
Especially the crane that pushed the silly crane and asked it to be the first to stand out. Looking at the silly crane's expression, it was not too humane.
"My Taoist partner doesn't know how to draw the contract symbol yet, so we'll make the contract later." Zhou Yanzhi said to Gao Lenghe, "I have a manor nearby with a nice environment. If you're willing, you can stay there for a while."
"...hiccup." Gao Lenghe spoke and nodded.
The silly Crane next to him also stood at attention: "Hiccup."
Zhou Yanzhi couldn't help but rubbed Xiao Yu's head and whispered in his ear: "Baby, that crane looks a lot like you, doesn't it?"
