Chapter 37 Misunderstood
"Nine-Headed Bird, is it a strange bird that has a total of nine heads? Its mouth even spouts fire and the feathers on its body are colorful ————" 0
"Xiao Tao, did you see such a nine-headed bird? Where did you see it?" His father's hand clenched tightly onto the thermos cup, and he looked nervous.
"I, I saw it in my dreams. I didn't see it anywhere else, but I saw a video on the Internet saying yes. It said that it was digging a girl's heart to perform a ritual. I that it had something to do with the Nine-Headed Bird."
I hesitated. Actually, I didn't have much confidence in this matter either. It was just a wild guess. My mother had even turned white when she heard that, and my father was very nervous.
"Xiao Tao, you have to protect your Phoenix Feather. This is your lifeblood." My mother kept talking and took out Phoenix Feather from my collar and placed it in my hand.
In the past few days, I hadn't paid attention to it. It was n' t until today that my mother took it out that I could see it clearly. This feather was originally bright orange red, but now it was much darker than before. It was already dark red, and its weight seemed to be much heavier than before. Now, it wasn't like it was made of plastic, but rather a bit of jade. The veins of the feather were clearly visible, as if there were traces of red flowing inside.
"Mom, isn't this a birthday present from my aunt?" I asked her back," Back then, you all said that this thing was fake, but now, it's better to say that it's my lifeblood. Do you think I'm Jia Baoyu?"
"Didn't I tell you that back then, I was afraid of scaring your child?" My mother scolded me and nodded on my forehead." If parents don't tell you, it's all for your own good. If the Ancestor doesn't tell you, it's for your own good."
"Come on, it's all for my good. Even Xu Luan wants to steal my Phoenix Feather, but I still do n' t know why. "If you don't tell me, I' ll ask Xu Luan. She'll tell me anyway." Then I got up and walked into the bedroom.
My mother anxiously tugged at my arm." Why is your child so stubborn? It's so easy to offend people when you talk so much. If you' re married to the Ancestor, you should be more restrained. It's all because we spoiled you over the years."
My father frowned and said," Xiao Tao, you said that you really dreamed of that nine-headed bird. Is there anything else?"
"Really, it's not fake at all." When I mentioned that realistic dream, I couldn't help but tremble. My parents looked at each other.
His father sighed." I really didn't expect that after so many generations, I still could n' t escape the fate of my life. Xiao Tao, didn't you really want to know what was going on? "Tomorrow, you and Daddy will go back to the ancestral hall. You will know when you go."
"Really?" I asked back happily and immediately felt that it was inappropriate to be happy." Daddy, what are you afraid of when the Nine-Headed Bird comes out?"
His father sighed deeply." These nine-headed birds have been famous vicious birds since ancient times. Every time they appear, they will definitely be a disaster from heaven. We were originally responsible for protecting the creatures of this place. However, our ancestors' magic power was low and they were n' t a match for the nine-headed birds. If it weren't for the help of an expert, our ancestors would have long become the food for the nine-headed birds."
"Dad, which expert is it? It can't be that smelly man!" My mother rolled her eyes at me when I asked.
"You're not allowed to speak like that in the future. That's your husband and the Ancestor's identity. You should at least give him some face. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for you not to give him face in front of others."
"Who agreed that he was my husband?" My face turned red." If it wasn't for him, it would have been best. I hate to owe him a favor. This person is especially careful. It's boring."
His father continued," Although the Nine-Headed Bird was sealed, it wasn't an ancient divine bird in the end. It did n' t die just because it was dead. As long as there was a chance, it would revive. However, there were probably not many people who could revive it. However, after it resurrected, it would seek revenge from our descendants if it didn't change its savage nature Tao Family. "Looks like we must go back now. Xiaotao, we'll leave tomorrow. Please take a leave with the school."
"Why don't I go look for a smelly man to help protect our family?" I couldn't help but feel a little worried and held the Phoenix Feather in my hand.
"I'm afraid it wo n' t be appropriate to trouble the Ancestor to appear!" My mom hesitated when she heard what I said.
"Then what? Mom, didn't you say that the stinky man is my husband? If so, should n' t he protect Lord Tai Shan? "Shouldn't you please your old mother-in-law?" I deliberately said this with sarcasm.
His mother said generously," My daughter, don't say that. Although I' m her mother-in-law, I can't trouble my good son-in-law with everything, can I?" "I made him laugh and thought that your family was just trash!"
"Mom, don't talk nonsense. You' re not even going to say anything!" The moment I thought about what the stinky man had done to me, my boss felt uncomfortable." Mom, I swear that I will never get married before I graduate from college. Everyone is the same as me. I won't change my mind!"
As I spoke, I walked towards my room and ignored my mother's words that the life of a girl's family was more important than anything else.
Now, a smelly man wasn't the most important thing for me. It was the most important thing to figure out the relationship between Phoenix Feather and me and find Xu Luan. Since my dad said that he could go back to his hometown tomorrow, I did n' t know why I had a feeling that everything about me could be resolved once I arrived at my hometown.
When I opened my QQ, Xu Luan was no longer online. I tried to knock twice but there was no response. From the looks of it, she wasn't going to continue talking to me.
After sitting in front of the computer for a long time, my heart felt sour. Although Xu Luan repeatedly said that they weren't friends with me, I could n' t believe this fact. We were really good friends before.
Thinking about everything that had happened recently, I didn't eat dinner properly. However, my mother kept staring at me with strange eyes, especially when she was spinning around my waist and stomach. What kind of eyes was this?
I put down my rice bowl and went back to my bedroom. Even my favorite scallions and fried sea cucumber didn't eat much. It was better to go back to my bedroom and have a lot of food. Although it was n' t as delicious as the scallions and fried sea cucumber, it wasn't too bad. It was much better than not eating it.
Just as I was chewing on the fries, I saw Mom sneakily push open the door and walk in. She came to me and said in a low voice," Xiao Tao, are you and the Ancestor already married?"
"Mom, you, what are you talking about? Me and him, we——" My bellyful of words were blocked in my throat by my mom's almost expectant expression.
I had no choice but to fall onto the bed and cover my face with my pillow. What flashed back in my mind was the scene that night when I was in the dark room.
