New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

In the inn, Xiaoyanzi sat in the house, looking out the window. The stars were twinkling and the moon was shining into the house through the window. It was almost time to go to bed, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

It’s because Aunt Yue and my uncle-master haven’t come back yet.

Don't underestimate her because she is young. She actually knows everything.

In the afternoon, Uncle Fu and the others discussed things with serious expressions. She looked at the brothers and sisters who were abducted by the beggars, and she knew in her heart that Uncle Fu would definitely not tolerate the existence of the beggars.

Then it was natural for them to take action, but she didn't know what their specific plans were. She just wanted to see her aunt and the others return safely before she went to bed.

Duanmu Qing was taking care of Ertai, Huo Yuqi and others next door, telling them not to make noise and to sleep well. Then he came to Xiaoyanzi's room and saw that she was still awake. He thought she couldn't sleep because her aunt was not there to sleep with her.

He said in a gentle voice, "Xiaoyanzi, are you afraid and can't sleep because your aunt doesn't sleep with you?"

Xiaoyanzi sat on the bed. She had been bathed and changed clothes by an aunt Duanmu Qing had found. She sat on the bed softly with a rosy face. She tilted her head and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore. Why would I be afraid of sleeping alone?"

Duanmu Qing laughed out loud when he heard that. This little girl is indeed not three years old. After all, she is just four years old this year.

At this time, the doors and windows of the room were closed, and a charcoal fire was burning. The room was quite warm. The little swallow was wrapped in a thick quilt, with only its little head showing. It looked very cute.

"Yes, yes, you are not a three-year-old kid. You are four years old, aren't you still a little kid?"

Duanmu Qing said this with a smile, which made Xiaoyanzi feel helpless. Why hasn't she grown up yet? She was being laughed at again.

Seeing the moon in the middle of the sky and the sky gradually getting darker, Duanmu Qing thought that such a young child should be coaxed to sleep, otherwise, she would not grow taller, so he took the initiative to say, "Okay, okay, lie down and sleep quickly, I will tell you a story, okay?"

Little Swallow nodded, and arched her little body into the quilt, then showed her furry little head, and lay on the bed obediently, looking at him with her big eyes, "Okay, Uncle Duanmu, tell me a story."

In fact, she had been sleepy for a long time, but she wanted to be more alert. She wanted to know whether her aunt and the others could return safely and whether they could bring back the abducted children. She had been worried for a long time, but she didn't want others to see that she was too precocious and think that she was an outlier.

I can only listen to stories to cheer myself up.

Wow, she really became more and more excited after listening to this story, because, what kind of a connected story is this?

Duanmu Qing tucked the corner of the quilt for her, then took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and began to tell her a magical story he had heard by chance. Although he felt that some of the characters and plots were outrageous, he still had to tell it because it could be connected together in the end. It was outrageous to the extreme.

(The following story is purely made up, just for fun, please don't read it too deeply)

"Once upon a time, heaven and earth were one, and a man named Pangu took an axe and created the heaven and earth. After that, there was a distinction between heaven and earth. He spent all his energy in creating the heaven and earth, and in the end, his organs turned into all things in the world.

However, at the beginning of the world, a bridge collapsed, causing seawater to flood back. A man named Dayu was brave enough to come out and control the flood. In order to save the water, he passed by his home three times without entering. His wife watched at the door all day long, and finally, she turned into a stone waiting for her husband.

After many changes, one day, the stone gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and finally a magical monkey named Sun Wukong jumped out.

After Sun Wukong learned the skill, he could go to heaven and earth and was omnipotent. He made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, not only stole the peaches, but also froze the Seven Fairies. After that, Sun Wukong, Tang Monk and others went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Little did they know that at this time seven gourds of seven different colors with different abilities turned into seven little babies. The seven gourd babies had been orphans since childhood, and were lucky enough to have an old grandfather to accompany and take care of them.

But one day, the grandfather was captured by a snake demon. The seven gourd brothers used their magical powers to rescue the grandfather, but they were also turned into seven dwarfs by the snake demon and sent to a foreign country, where they were asked to wait for a woman named Snow White.

After thousands of years of changes, the snake spirit didn't want to continue doing evil, so it transformed into a small snake and wandered around the human world. It was accidentally rescued by a little boy. Thousands of years later, it chose to come down to the mortal world to repay its gratitude, but because it flooded a small town, it was sealed under the Leifeng Pagoda by a monk named Fahai.

The sea water flooded the town, and a bird named Jingwei carried stones in its mouth to fill the sea every day. However, day after day, there was little effect. One day, a stone accidentally hit the Dragon King's third prince in the sea, and the third prince was so angry that he fought with the bird.

It happened that there was a family living by the sea. The child there was a supernatural being named Nezha. When Nezha saw Jingwei injured, he got angry and started fighting with the Dragon King's Third Prince. The fight was so severe that he skinned and pulled out the Dragon King's tendons, which made the Dragon King furious.

A huge stone appeared to block Nezha's town. Nezha was punished by the heaven, but the stone was still there. A man named Yugong thought about moving the stones every day. After a while, he would be able to move all the stones away one day.

But the weather was too hot, and Yugong couldn't stand it. He hoped there could be fewer suns in the sky. At this time, a man named Houyi took the initiative to take a bow and arrow and shot at the ten suns in the sky, one arrow at a time. When there were only two left, one sun hung in the sky and the other had hidden.

A man named Kuafu saw the sun hiding and wanted to compete with it in speed, so he began to chase the sun to see who could run faster, but as he ran day after day, his feet became bigger and bigger, and his initial step allowed him to cross mountains and rivers with just a few steps.

If you are not careful, you will break a bridge in a certain country, causing a flood to flow back... (Count how many stories and characters there are in it.)

Duanmu Qing was so dry-mouthed when he spoke, but Xiaoyanzi was stunned when she heard it.

What kind of story is this?

Isn't this too outrageous?

From Pangu creating the world to Kuafu chasing the sun leading to Dayu controlling the flood???

Who on earth came up with this story? She couldn't understand it at all.

Originally she was trying to stay awake and not fall asleep so quickly, but after hearing this story, she felt much more energetic.

Duanmu Qing drank a few sips of water and wanted to see if Xiaoyanzi was sleeping well. But she saw her with her eyes wide open, looking at her speechlessly.

"Hey, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xiaoyanzi was speechless.
