I, Guhuo Bird, am not an umbrella demon, please don’t disturb me

It rained lightly all night, and the rain was mixed with snowflakes. On the second day, it started to snow in earnest. It wasn't heavy, and there was a thin layer of white on the roofs outside.

Bai Qingyu was sitting under the eaves, with a dozing civet cat nestled in his arms. He held the clothes in his hands and started sewing and mending again. This clothes was prepared for Zhentian as a New Year's gift. It was a small red cotton coat.

It looks very festive, but it is difficult to make. It mainly needs to be stuffed with some cotton and duck down and goose down. Bai Qingyu went all over the town and couldn't buy much of these things, so he could only make a light and small cotton coat.

Fortunately, Zhentian is not afraid of the cold, otherwise this gift would have been awkward.

The movements of his hands are non-stop, very fast and precise. Bai Qingyu has rich experience in making cotton-padded clothes. He used to live in the valley. Because the baby's body grew too fast, he had to make new cotton-padded clothes almost every year. He wanted to make new cotton-padded clothes. I'll save the next size for next year, so think about it.

If you work harder, your son will have new clothes to wear every year.

You must know that she didn't even have human hands at the time, so she relied on the combination of bird wings and demon power to clamp the needle and thread. It was really hard to get used to it at the beginning, and it was extremely troublesome to learn. Needlework is not like washing and cooking. This kind of work is very difficult. thin.

She persisted through all the difficulties. Now that she has the skills, she can do it even faster. She can prepare this little cotton coat for Zhentian in a few days. Of course, if it is embroidery, it will take more time. This Bai Qingyu planned to embroider a small golden flower on a cotton coat, but he didn't have enough time.

The civet cat slept peacefully in his arms. Bai Qingyu not only gave it food, but the breath from his body also made it feel comfortable.So I don't want to leave even if I stay here, and I don't know if its owner is in a hurry now.

"Sister Bai, are you making clothes?" Zhentian came to Bai Qingyu and lowered his head to see Bai Qingyu holding scissors and needle and thread for a while, operating dizzyingly on a piece of soft red cloth.

"Yes, I am making clothes for you. It will be New Year's Eve in a few days. Everyone else has new clothes to wear. How can my family not have it?"

Spreading out the semi-finished product, "Do you like red?"

Zhentian's eyes moved slightly and she hummed softly. No one had ever given her a gift before. In the past, let alone new clothes, she could only watch the lively crowd from a distance and avoid them even on New Year's Eve. A hunter willing to let her go.

"Well, I like it a lot."

"That's good, I plan to embroider a flower for you here, but unfortunately I don't have enough time, otherwise it would look better."

"Thank you, Sister Bai. I, I have never received such an expensive gift." Zhentian's eyes were lowered and tears could be seen. It's not that she likes to cry, she was really touched.

"Zhentian has never received a gift before, but it's okay. I will give you a gift every New Year's Eve in the future and make you a new dress, a unique dress in the world."

"Then what does Sister Bai want? I, I can't make clothes, I can only give some other things to Sister Bai." Zhentian said weakly.

Bai Qingyu gave her a gift, and she also wanted to prepare a gift for Bai Qingyu.But when I think about it, she seems to have nothing on her body, no gold feathers, no way to sew and make clothes and shoes, and no way to make oil-paper umbrellas.

"A gift..." Bai Qingyu looked at Zhentian up and down, nodding from time to time, as if he didn't take a fancy to Zhentian's things but took a fancy to her as a person.

"Well, let's do it. Anyway, there is still time. Let's learn how to make pastries. On New Year's Eve, I will be responsible for cooking and you will be responsible for making pastries. These pastries can be regarded as gifts to me. Remember to put more Sugar, I like desserts.”

"Yeah!" Zhentian nodded vigorously.

Then she knew how she learned. In the next few days, Bai Qingyu not only made clothes, but also taught her how to make pastries, and took her to the town to select materials.

Zhentian felt that he was a little clumsy, and it took him three days to achieve some results.

In fact, there is something wrong with Zhentian's hands. Her hands are not as flexible as human hands. Her hands are bird claws. She can grasp things but cannot do some delicate work.The sharp tips of the claws could not replace the fingers. Zhentian felt very distressed about this. Fortunately, his hard work paid off and he finally made a delicious cake two days before New Year's Eve.

The town was already decorated with lights and was very lively. The children put on new clothes and ran around the town laughing and playing with candied haws. The girls had hair in buns and the boys wore mini official hats because it was snowing heavily. , you can also see small snowmen piled up one by one in the town.

"Well, it's very good. It tastes better than anything I've ever made. As expected, there's nothing you can't learn as long as you work hard."

Bai Qingyu filled his mouth with a piece of pastry that looked like mochi. Bai Qingyu nodded with satisfaction. The sweetness was moderate, a little too sweet and a little too greasy. It was soft and silky in the mouth. When you bite it down, you can see the bean paste popping out. The taste is great. Really good, quite delicious.

Zhentian looked uneasy. Seeing Bai Qingyu nod and smile, the stone hanging in her heart was finally put down. The strong sense of accomplishment and satisfaction made her smile involuntarily.

As long as Sister Bai likes it, that's fine.

"It's so delicious. Keep up the good work next time. I'm very satisfied with this gift."

After eating one after another, Bai Qingyu patted Zhentian on the shoulder with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up.

"Your clothes are also ready tomorrow. Let's go out and have fun on New Year's Eve!"

The small yard was full of laughter, and the cat steps on the roof left a string of cute cat paw prints. The fat civet flower came again today.

After going back for a few days, I found that Bai Qingyu's place was better. They had meat to eat every day and occasionally dried fish.

Time flew by for another two days. On New Year's Eve, Zhentian put on the red cotton coat that Bai Qingyu gave her. It looked plain because it didn't have too many patterns, but the workmanship was quite exquisite and it fit Zhentian perfectly. figure.

As for how Bai Qingyu has Zhentian's body size, this has to be told one night.

Of course this is not important.

Her hair was tied with a red rope with small bells, and Bai Qingyu asked Zhentian to turn the skirt on her body red. From then on, a festively dressed Zhentian appeared in sight.

"As expected, my family is so naive, so cute!"

It's a pity that I don't have a camera, otherwise I would have recorded this scene.

Volume 73: Chapter [-] Adopting a Cub

On New Year's Eve, the town was bustling with activity. Bai Qingyu dressed up and combed his hair into a bun, then brought Zhentian to the street. The whole street was bustling with people everywhere, and the stalls were even busier than usual. You can see all kinds of weird things.

There were children chasing and running away with candied haws and rattles. Bai Qing pointed to a place in front where people gathered and said, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

A group of people gathered around, and exclamations came from time to time. When Bai Qingyu went over and took a look, he realized that it was actually a monkey trick. After looking at it for a while, he felt bored and pulled Zhentian away.

Walking in the noisy market, Bai Qingyu bought two candied haws from a stall, and then she remembered that Zhentian's hands were not suitable for exposure. Fortunately, she had been prepared.He took out a pair of gloves from the storage ring and handed them to Zhentian for her to put on.

As long as her wings are not exposed and she wears gloves, no one will know there is a bird claw hidden inside.

He found a small corner, put on his gloves, and walked along the street with Bai Qingyu holding the candied haws, chatting.

"I seem to understand why you like the human world so much, especially during festivals."

Bai Qingyu felt a little emotional. A lively environment can indeed make him feel better, but the premise is that it is best to have someone by his side. Otherwise, the more lively the environment, the more lonely he will feel, as if he is out of touch with this lively world.

We are clearly in this world, but in the end it seems to be separated by an invisible wall.

"No, actually this is my first time to experience this feeling." Zhentian exhaled a breath of mist, his eyes filled with emotion.

She used to like this atmosphere, but she had never participated in it. This time she was able to integrate into this lively world. It felt really good because she had someone to accompany her.

Talking and laughing along the way, looking at this and that, Bai Qingyu bought a lot of hair accessories for Zhentian and himself, which he had never bought before.Then he bought two masks from a small stall. Among a series of small animal masks, Bai Qingyu finally chose the fox mask.

Unknowingly, he reached the end of the market. Bai Qingyu wanted to change to another street and continue walking, when he saw Zhentian suddenly stop, seemingly looking at something.

"Zhentian, what's wrong?" Bai Qingyu followed Zhentian's eyes and found a little girl curled up in the corner.

In this day and age, there are beggars everywhere. Bai Qingyu and Zhentian saw two or three while traveling, but they have never seen such a young child become a beggar. This is the first time they have seen one in this town.

Bai Qingyu walked over and noticed that it turned out that the child was not a beggar. Her mother was right next to her. To be precise, her mother's body was right next to it. It was surrounded by a piece of old grass. She had obviously been dead for three or four years. It’s time for days.

People in this era are very miserable. The bustling and prosperous town does not mean that there are no poor people. For poor people, New Year's Eve and New Year are all the same. There is nothing to eat, and the weather is so cold. How can they survive? Even good.

The little girl is kneeling on the ground with a straw in her head, which is saying that she is going to sell herself.

She sold herself to her mother for burial, which also gave her some hope. After her mother died, she was only eight years old and couldn't support herself. If a kind person bought her, he would take her home and arrange for her to be fucked. Some simple work, giving her a bite to eat, maybe she can survive this winter.

Bai Qingyu knew that this must be what the mother told her child before she died, but there was nothing she could do about it.

I don't know if her father moved this body here. If so, it would be too chilling. Leaving her daughter to sell herself to bury her mother in the snow, while she, the father, has disappeared.

Of course, it is also possible that people in the town helped. They were originally dumped at the entrance of the town, but it turned out that it was New Year's Eve. No one wanted to see this unfortunate scene, so they simply moved the child and the body to the end of the town.

It's understandable. We all come from poor families. Even if the people in the town want to help, they can't do anything. Moreover, they are used to seeing this kind of thing. Bringing such a little girl home is equivalent to having an extra mouth to eat. Can you What do you expect such a young child to do?

"Little sister." Bai Qingyu squatted in front of the little girl.

The clothes on her body were shabby and thin, and she was shivering in the cold wind. There were many chilblains on her face and ears. She was already skinny and skinny. If she continued in this state, she would freeze to death by night.

Hearing Bai Qingyu's voice, the little girl slowly opened her eyes.

I have to say that it is a miracle that she has persisted until now.In Bai Qingyu's eyes, her vitality is equivalent to a weak candle in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time.

He transferred a little bit of demonic power to her, and first maintained her body temperature, allowing her internal organs to warm up and refill her vitality. Otherwise, she would most likely not be able to survive the scene of her mother's burial.

"Do you need sister to help you bury your mother?" Bai Qingyu said softly.

She was not worried about any bad luck during the Chinese New Year, but she definitely couldn't buy a coffin, so she could only dig a grave outside the town and bury it like this.

As soon as Bai Qingyu said these words, the little girl's eyes brightened up visible to the naked eye, "Really, is it true, sister?"

With Bai Qingyu's ray of demonic power, she at least regained some strength and had the strength to speak.

"real."

Seeing the little girl trying to stand up, Bai Qingyu shook his head and said, "Don't worry yet. Do you still have family members at home? Where is your father?"

"My dad, my dad is dead. He was beaten to death."

"After I bury your mother, you can follow me." Bai Qingyu said softly.

It's just that she doesn't plan to raise this child for the rest of her life. She has thought about it now. Her power is limited after all. She can raise the child, but she will no longer do everything herself and raise the child until she is old. What she is thinking now It's very simple. When the children reach the age of ten and can live on their own, they have to leave.

For example, take this child, raise her for a few years, and then bring her back when she can live independently. During this period, Bai Qingyu will teach her a craft, and she will take her own path in the future.

"I...wuwu, thank you sister, thank you sister!"

Bai Qingyu felt complicated. Of course she could raise this child, but she was very emotional.

Raising his hands, Yaoli lifted the body into the air. Bai Qingyu held the little girl in his arms, feeling that the little girl was too light and was not as heavy as her umbrella.

Carrying the body and walking silently outside the town, Zhentian followed quickly.

·

Burying a corpse is a very simple thing for Bai Qingyu. Unfortunately, there is no coffin and he can only bury it like this and pile up a grave bag. There is no tombstone and no paper money to burn. The little girl cried in Bai Qingyu's arms. Fortunately, there is The demon power was hanging on her, otherwise she would probably not be able to hold on if she was so sad.

At one point, she fainted from crying, and Bai Qingyu whispered comfort.

The tomb is not too far from the town, but it is not important anymore. Bai Qingyu is only responsible for the burial and not for burning paper during the Qingming Festival.

The sky was gloomy with light snow falling, and Bai Qingyu walked home holding her child who had fainted from crying.It was New Year's Eve tonight, and she promised Zhentian to make a table of delicious food. She had even bought the ingredients in the past two days and was waiting for tonight.

"There are poor people everywhere, and such pitiful people are indeed rare." On the way back, Bai Qingyu chatted softly with Zhentian.

I have been traveling around the world for a while, and I have seen a lot of different things in life, but I rarely see such poor children. It’s not that I don’t have them, but that I have no chance to see them. Like this girl named Xiaodie, if I had been a step later, she would have been there. He was dead, and if Zhentian hadn't caught her attention by watching, she would have left without noticing.

To be honest, Bai Qingyu had seen a lot of people selling children, and he was heartbroken but didn't want to worry about it.In this situation, it is usually difficult for the parents to raise them. If Bai Qingyu has some spare money, he will occasionally give some money or food when he sees it, but he will not buy the child.

Xiaodie's situation is different. No one sells her, she sells herself.

"Yes, poor child." Zhentian also sighed.

It's just that Bai Qingyu adopted this child, which she didn't expect, but it seems to be normal. This is in line with Bai Qingyu's character and temper.

This child is lucky to meet Bai Qingyu, Zhentian thought.

Back in the town, the town was still lively. Bai Qingyu still wore the fox mask on her head, but at this moment she had no intention of watching the excitement around her. She quickly returned home and asked Zhen to burn it. A pot of hot water.

After putting away the bath water, Bai Qingyu found some of the clothes that Dongqing was wearing that were not taken away. He used scissors and needlework to make them smaller. After taking off the child's clothes, he carried her into the bathtub. inside.

Using demon power to wake up Xiaodie, Bai Qingyu said while giving her a bath, "Your mother has been buried, don't be so sad anymore, think of some happy things, I think your mother doesn't want to see you so sad. Life has to go on. Only if you live happily can your mother be happy."

Bai Qingyu's words made the little girl stop crying.

In fact, having the strength to cry like this is a good thing in a sense. It means that she has strength now. It is not as weak as a candle flame like before, and a wisp of cold wind can take away her life.

"Right, that is it."

Wiping away the little girl's tears, Bai Qingyu used his demon power to help her treat the frostbite on her face, ears and hands.

To be honest, this child is not very good-looking. His body is almost skinny, his face is very dark with dirt and dust, and his skin is chapped and frostbitten. His hair, in particular, is a mess and full of lice. The hair smells bad when people take care of it, and the quality of the hair is so bad that it looks like a mess of wool.

This is normal. After all, you live in poverty. No matter how good you are in this kind of life, you become a Cinderella. How can you be such a cute loli if you can't even afford food?

Except for her clear eyes, there is nothing about this girl that can be associated with beauty and cuteness.

Like Dongqing, she grew up to be cute because she was originally in good condition. She was fat and white when she was a baby, and Bai Qingyu took such good care of her later in life.Immortality is a similar situation. Being cared for since childhood has nothing to do with being poor.

However, Xiaodie didn't look good now, and Bai Qingyu didn't care. He treated her chilblains, took a good bath, cleaned her hair of all the lice, and tangled her hair.

Children grow up quickly and have better nutrition. If you give them a good supplement, they will be able to eat them back quickly. It will only take one or two years to raise them.

"Sister, are you a god?" Sitting in the hot water, Xiaodie seemed a little restless.

Coming from a lowly background, I always felt that I was inferior to others. When I saw Bai Qingyu looking like this, I couldn't believe that there really were such good-looking people in the world, and yet this beautiful sister was so kind to her. For a moment, I just felt flattered.

She was so uneasy. If Bai Qingyu threw her into the cowshed and let her live in the cowshed and eat leftovers, she would feel more at ease.

"I'm not a god, I'm actually a monster." Bai Qingyu smiled lightly.

"monster?"
