At the age of fifteen, I went from death to life at the cost of tying the knot with an egg.
The fairy dreamed and left me a booklet that taught me how to hatch eggs, how to raise cubs, and how to take down cubs.
Who's going to marry a chicken?
After being rescued, I said, "My husband is awesome! My husband is the best! I want to be the best in the world with my husband!"
After the chicks broke their shells, I said, "How can there be such a cute little thing in the world!"
After the chicken cub transformed, I: "Woo woo~ I do! I can! I have to be you!"

I was born deficient and was frail and sickly since I was a child.
I've heard people say that at my full moon banquet, an old man in a tattered robe broke in. He looked at my face and judged me not to be fifteen years old.
If you had changed to someone else's house and been cursed on a happy day, you would have knocked this charlatan out of the house a long time ago. But my father and mother have accumulated virtue and done good deeds all their lives, and even if they are displeased, they can't do anything to bully the elderly.
I just sent someone to the kitchen to get some food, and wrapped a small red envelope, saying that there were not enough seats, and euphemistically asked someone to leave.
The old man did not feel that he had said the wrong thing, and took it as a matter of course, and when he was sent to the gate, he stopped and turned back, and took out a red and black talisman from his clothes, and enthusiastically sold it to my mother: "This talisman was drawn by the old man himself, and if my wife wishes to believe me, she can tear it up at the critical moment." But it only works once, so use it sparingly. ”
The guests in the courtyard were arguing, and most of them were clamoring for us to help us get this swindling bastard to the government. The mother didn't want to be unhappy on this day, so she thought that she would quickly accept the talisman paper so that the man could leave.
"Madam, this talisman still has some micro-transport power. What do you want to get in exchange?"
The mother withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and the bridal maid beside her was dissatisfied: "Who looks like this? My wife can't bear to send you to the official, do you really think you are a master of the world? Eat and drink for nothing and take it away, I advise you not to be too greedy!"
Lao Dao didn't refute it, just quietly pinched the talisman paper and waited for my mother's answer.
A few moments later, my mother sent someone to her room to take out a pair of concentric bracelets, which were the family's ancestral dowry, which was very memorable.
Lao Dao changed the bracelet and left quickly.
The next day, the news of my family being ripped off was spread everywhere, and many of them even laughed at my parents to their faces, saying that they were stupid and had a lot of money, and that their brains were kicked by a donkey.
My parents also had remorse afterwards, but the old Taoist priest was a wandering wanderer whose whereabouts were uncertain.
Probably for comfort, this talisman paper has always been worn on me, so I was laughed at and ostracized by many of my peers, and I didn't have a single friend around me.
I wore it for fourteen years, and I came to the threshold that the Taoist priest said I couldn't overcome.
The fifteenth birthday seemed to have become a little depressing because of that prophecy, even though I had just seen a doctor yesterday, and there was nothing serious except for my physical weakness, and there was no sudden emergency that could kill a person in an instant.
But my father and mother were still a little uneasy, and although they were smiling and pretending to be happy for my birthday, they would always unintentionally wander and lament.
I want to go over and reassure them a few words, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, let it be, the twisted melon will not be sweet.
As soon as I took a step forward, Ping'er next to me came to call me.
We have a very special local custom.
The women need to make a lantern by hand, give it to their relatives and friends to write their blessings, and then put it on the canal in the city at noon to pray for blessings, so as to bless the future peace and joy and a smooth life.
I came to the river with a lantern in my hand, and the faint scent of ink lingered on the tip of my nose. At this time, it was the spring of March, everything was revived, and the weeping willows fell into the water, which also reflected my face.
Today, I deliberately put on a new makeup, and the flowers between my eyebrows are bright red and gorgeous, which makes my face fairer.
Ah, what's the deal with being a little bit like a female ghost?
"An An!"
My mother stood aside, looking a little anxious, staring at the lantern in my hand, and the meaning was very obvious.
I held the lantern, leaned forward, and touched the water with the backs of my hands, although it was the spring river heating, but it was still a little cold for my frail people, and I couldn't help but "hiss".
Carefully place the lantern on the surface of the water to make sure it doesn't tip over before slowly removing your hand from under the lantern holder.
Now that the ceremony is over, they can rest assured. I turned my head to look at the shore, but I didn't know what was being pulled by my wrist and I fell headlong into the river.
I didn't even have time to call for help and struggle, and the whole person quickly sank to the bottom of the river.
The lantern rose and fell with the waves of the water, and it still floated steadily on the water, but it was getting farther and farther away from me.
The panicked and frightened shouts on the shore were also faint, and it turned out that even if I had a transfer charm, I would still be unable to escape death.
I subconsciously reached for the purse around my waist, but I grabbed it.
What's going on?
What about my big purse?
Is that really okay? I mean the ghost.

"Cough Cough"
The feeling of being suffocated by the water is still fresh in my memory, and I am still a little unaccustomed to breathing fresh air at first glance.
I got up from the bed with my arms propped up and stared at Ping'er's face.
For a moment, the face became flexible. She threw away the basin in her hand and rushed out of my room screaming: "Madame, Madame, Miss, alive!"
I was forced to wash my face, and I was able to dodge the onslaught of the basin with my agility. The bed was too wet to stay, so I went down to the closet and picked out a random piece of clothing to change into.
"An An!"
My mother rushed over and hugged me, her tone happy and precious. I also gently wrapped my arms around her: "Well, I'm alive." ”
It just sounds weird.
At this time, my father also rushed over, and called my nickname with tears in his eyes.
I answered and looked over, "Is that what you see?"
"Dad, what are you holding in your arms?"
It's round like a bird's egg, but it's bigger. Could it be that Uncle Wang at the end of the street finally cultivated a group of dominating hens and solved the problem that one chicken is not enough for a family?
My mother let go of me as well, pulling me closer and staring at my father suspiciously.
It's a private surprise, even my mother doesn't know! The two of them have always had a good relationship, they are a well-known couple in ten miles and eight towns, they have to stick together in everything, and there are few little secrets.
The mother's eyes were so powerful, and the father was crying excitedly just now, but now there was only embarrassment and helplessness on his face.
Could it be that this egg is filled with my mother's favorite jewelry?
My father was hesitant for a long time, for fear that others would hear a word clearly.
The mother, who has always been gentle and dignified, was arrogant in front of her father, and slapped her palm: "What do you say?
"咱,咱女,Son-in-law."
Silence, a deathly silence spread through the room.
After a while, my mother came back to her senses, her beautiful eyes were still round, and she raised her foot and kicked my mother: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yes, yes, it's me who took a trip to the ghost gate, and how crazy and stupid is my father!
"I'm not talking nonsense!" my father came to us with an egg in his hand, and said confidently: "That old man, the master said, our daughter is short-lived, although she survives now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any accidents in the future." It's better to find someone else to borrow some life to use, there will be gains and losses, this condition is to take good care of this egg, and marry him when he grows up. ”
Afraid that we wouldn't believe it, he also kicked the housekeeper next to him. The housekeeper is sixty-five this year, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves, but now he is in a trance, and he was kicked by my father and nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's right, that's what he said." ”
My mother didn't doubt him, so she pulled me out, and said something in her mouth: "How can this be done? How can a man be with an egg? I have to find the Taoist chief and ask him to make a new condition, even if it is to give you the lives of me and your father!"
My father followed us with the eggs in his arms, and a group of people hurried to the front hall.
"Do长!"
"Do长!"
“……”
There was still a steaming cup of freshly poured tea on the guest table in the foyer, but the tea drinker no longer knew where he was.
The mother looked at the egg worriedly: "Is An An really going to marry it?"
I imagined my married life.
Others are shopping with tenderness and sweetness, and the woman's little bird is human, leaning on the man's shoulder and pointing at the orchid: "This, and this, everyone wants it." ”
The man was infatuated and domineering: "Okay, good, it's all up to you! Boss, wrap up everything my lady can see!"
And me?
"This, and that, I'm going to do that—forget it, I'm holding my husband and I can't let go, and I'll buy him a basket later, and I'll talk about it another day." ”
How tragic!

It's night.
I couldn't sleep tossing and turning against the bed, with a white bird's egg nestled next to my pillow, and I always felt that something was wrong with my stomach.
With such a big egg, the bird or chicken that gave birth to it must be as big as the fortune of the house next door, right?
I put away the curtain and held the egg to the candlelight.
This egg is really good-looking, every curvature is just right, and it feels good to the touch, warm but not burning, slippery.
Yesterday I heard from them what happened. After I fell into the water, the water-savvy family members jumped in, but they didn't even see a single corner of my clothes when they dived into the water.
It's as if I didn't fall into the water, but into another dimension.
My mother was so anxious that she almost fainted, and the moment she fell, her vision was shaken by something.
The rune paper with black letters on a red background appeared on the wick of my lantern, and there was a flame swaying underneath, but it did not burn with the fire.
When the old Taoist priest's words were vivid, she immediately picked up the lantern, picked up the rune paper and tore it, and begged someone to pull me.
But nothing unusual happened at that time, and in the afternoon they sent people to fish by the river, and dragged their tired bodies home with nothing.
As a result, the old Taoist priest was already waiting in the courtyard with me who was unconscious.
The old Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, so the eggs he gave should be very unusual!
I pillowed on my arm and reached out to poke the eggshell, which swayed and swayed with my strength, and I couldn't see anything special.
"Husband, you?"
I'm just an adult, and it's embarrassing to say these two words.
The wick crackled with fire, and my face became hot and red.
"Do you not understand what I'm saying? Is it because you're too young? Or do you just can't understand people?"
I'm a little worried, how do I tell the age of an egg, how do I communicate with it, is it giggling or chirping?
Are the gods so unreliable? How can I love it if I don't understand the language!
I fell asleep on my desk in a daze, having a strange dream. But when I woke up, I forgot about it.
The egg was no longer shaking, and I thought it was because no one poked it, but when I held it, I realized that it was because a book was stuck in it.
I don't have such a hobby as reading at night!
I put the egg in my left arm, and with my right hand picked up the book that came out of the table: "Blind Date and Love Cultivation Manual! What kind of thing is this that is not suitable for children?"
Twisting the cover, the catalog is divided into three parts: teach you how to hatch god eggs, a hundred precautions for raising a doctor, and how to elevate your family status and accurately control you.
“……”
My gaze shifted back and forth between my hands, could this be the purpose of the immortal's dream last night?
It seems that this egg can become a human in the future, I am relieved, fortunately I don't want to stay with an egg, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to spread it!
I flipped the book to the first page of the text with one hand, and it was written that the method of hatching eggs was written:
First of all, you need a large box, spread the bottom of the box with dry and soft straw, supplemented by cotton wool, to build a comfortable nest, be careful not to close the lid.
It's not difficult, it's easy to find, I'm fine.
Then keep the nest incubating in a warm environment, at least to human body temperature, which is the key to incubation. Seven seven forty-nine days, not a single day can be cooled.
What does that mean? Did I personally burrow into the box and stick it day and night?
Finally, don't forget to flip the eggs on one side every other day to make sure each side is hatched.
I think it's good to be reincarnated sooner.
"What's good!" my mother glared at me dissatisfied, "don't say such stupid things!"
I sighed, there is a kind of love called letting go, and I hope everyone understands. I don't want to live in a box and hold an egg every day, it doesn't sound like a normal person can do a smart thing.
Seeing my reluctance, my mother hesitated: "Or, for your mother?"
"Don't!" my father's eyes were about to stare me out of the hole! If there was any strange nestling complex, then my father's head must not be covered with grass, or the worst of all, he will be dragged to the pig cage for incest.
"I'll think of something else for myself. ”
"Miss, do you have to put it on?" Ping'er leaned over, "Can't you roast it over fire?"
She stared at the egg in my hand and said her guess: "Since my uncle was left by an immortal, it shouldn't be bad to roast it over fire." ”
She's such a clever little ghost.
"Go, find me three stoves, place them in the west courtyard, and then get my uncle's box over, let the stove surround the box, but don't get too close, the fire in the stove is not too big, it is best if it can't be extinguished." ”
I can't really roast you on the fire, can I?
I bow my head, as a family, I also want to leave you some dignity. Otherwise, when you see your relatives in the future, you will think how I can bully you.

After trying to incubate for a few days, I finally found the perfect heat.
The effect is still very significant, the eggshell of this egg is much more transparent than before, and it can faintly reveal some hazy light.
In this way, I still have a talent for hatching eggs!
After I converted the west wing into a conservatory, in order to make the best use of it, I also put a nest of eggs in it, and asked Ping'er to see if she could hatch it according to the same method.
A month later, the fluffy chick broke out of its shell, and the milk was yellow, and my heart melted when I saw it.
"Miss, there can't be a big chicken cub in my uncle's egg, right?"
Which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, Ping'er is really stunning.
"Nonsense!" I sat down on the edge of the box and reached in to help him turn over: "Immortals don't need to raise chickens! And the life span of chickens is so short, it's not enough for me to borrow!"
Ping'er also squatted beside me and looked over: "What Miss said is! Uncle must also be a fairy-like figure! It seems that the gods in the sky all jump out of the egg, and they are really extraordinary." ”
"Miss, when do you think my uncle will come out of the egg?"
Only I can see the words on the handbook, and I also relayed the hatching to everyone, and some details are not so specific.
"It says it will take seven seven hundred and forty-nine days. "But somehow, I feel like the egg hasn't grown for days, and the temperature in the house hasn't dropped.
Ping'er said excitedly: "Wouldn't you be able to see your uncle at the end of the month!Miss, what do you think your uncle will be like?"
My thoughts were interrupted, and I couldn't help but follow Ping'er's words to imagine what he would look like.
Since you are a fairy, you must be tall, immortal, and handsome!
It may be very gentle, and it may be very spoiled when it laughs, or it may be the kind of cold and cold that does not eat the fireworks of the world, but is only partial to the partner......
No matter what, I will definitely be better and more reliable than those young talents in the city! The other women in the city will definitely envy me!
"Whatever he is, he's who I identify with. I put my hand over the egg, feeling its temperature, "I'll take the trouble to hatch you, you must be good to me in the future." ”
Prenatal education still has to be had, who can have my luck, I can raise a husband who is most in line with my own heart!
Another seven or eight days have passed, and this time Ping'er also saw that the egg had not changed: "Miss, can my uncle still break the shell on time?"
I'm almost going through the booklets, and I can't find any records. Is this normal or abnormal?
"Go and bring me the quilt, I'll be resting in the conservatory from today. ”
The weather is getting warmer, and there are three stoves in the house, which is really hot.
Usually just come over to turn over the eggs, stay for a short time, and don't feel anything, only to find that even if you don't cover the quilt to sleep, it's hot and sweaty.
I can't open the window, and the indoor temperature can't keep up with the window as soon as the window opens, and if the shell can't be broken, then we both will be cool, and all the previous efforts will be in vain.
It was too hot to sleep, so I put on my shoes and prepared to go outside to cool off.
"Miss?" Ping'er, who was guarding outside, rubbed her eyes.
"Leave me alone, you can go back to sleep. ”
I opened the door and sat down on a bench under the porch, staring at the crescent moon in the air.
I saw a dark shadow flashing on the stone bridge in the lotus pond, and my heart pounded loudly.
I got up and looked around the yard carefully.
A cloud drifted by, obscuring the hazy moonlight, and the surroundings instantly darkened.
The flowers and trees in the courtyard, as well as the rockery landscaping, have become a black and strange shadow in my eyes at this moment, and they begin to sway and deform as soon as the wind blows, as if they are all alive.
I felt a chill behind me, and I involuntarily pushed back against the wall. Leaning on the truth, the panicked mood calmed down a lot.
Zhao Yu'an, what are you afraid of? Your death has passed, your life has long been changed, and you won't see those things again!
I patted my chest and comforted myself, don't be afraid, you are a person with a fairy husband, he is still by your side, and the demons and monsters dare not approach.
"Whew-"
How could the wind blow at me at the back of my neck? I'm leaning against the wall, how can the wind blow over? wall, wall, my wall!
I don't know when the sturdy wall behind me disappeared, and I felt like I was leaning against something very soft and light.
Now it's not just the neck that's cold, it's all over the body.
I didn't dare to look back, and my body was so stiff that I couldn't move. What should I do? I won't report to the underworld so soon, will I?
Do you have to worship the eggs given by the immortals before you can be happy?
Help, help, help!
"Husband, quickly manifest your spirit and save your lady......"
I was scared to death.

"Miss!
Ping'er, this girl, of course I know that I am not good.
"Uncle, he suddenly caught fire!"
What the hell? I looked behind me. No, why did you just turn back, what is this deception?
Oh my God! He's on fire! Why can an egg be lit? Its chest and straw are not burning!
I scrambled forward, slamming my head against the wall, and my eyes went black.
Ping'er called out and ran over, helped me and asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"
I waved my hand, covered my head, and slowly opened my eyes. The scene of the flames enveloping the eggs was no longer visible, and in front of me was a plain brick wall.
My eyes just ......
I stood up and hurried into the room. Three stoves simmered quietly, wooden crates were intact, and there was no smell of burning in the house.
The eggs are still lying in the nest I have built, and they feel pleasant to the touch.
Ping'er followed behind me and blinked suspiciously, "Huh, was I dreaming just now?"
I sent her away without a few words, picked up the egg from the box and sat on the bed: "Did you save me just now?"
He wouldn't give me a response, but I said thank you sincerely.
The immortals said that my life is not good, I will not live long, and no one knows the way better than me. For as long as I can remember, I've been able to see many things that others can't see.
I have unintentionally mentioned this to my parents a few times, and they have been scared to the point that they can't sleep for days.
Later, I gradually found out that this thing didn't really hurt me, and it was to reassure my parents, so I didn't say anything more.
Anyway, there is a saying that children are more sensitive to gods and ghosts, and my parents thought I was like that.
But no, I can see much more than anyone else. The most important thing is that I have had one more figure since I was twelve years old.
As time went on, it got closer and closer to me. I knew that when I turned fifteen, it would come to me and take me away from the world.
It was the thing that pulled me down in the river that day.
But since I was saved by the immortals, my eyes have returned to normal, and nothing strange has happened around me. I thought my life had been changed from that moment, but tonight came again.
Now this situation is even more troublesome, my eyes are back to normal, and I can't find the source if I want to prevent it.
"It's not okay to be scared all the time!" I lay down on the bed and put the egg in my arms: "Husband and wife are meant to share the same bed." Although you are still young, husband, it is good to get used to it early. ”
I've pulled the quilt, and it's better to die of heat than to be blown to death by the wind all the time. The transport charm is gone, and the quilt is my last barrier.
I thought about it a lot, and I didn't know when I fell asleep in the end.
When Ping'er called me to get up in the morning, it was already three poles in the morning.
"So you're still a Xiaoice nugget!" I was pleasantly surprised to hold the egg, and last night I slept with him covered with a quilt, but I didn't wake up in the middle of the heat, and my body was also very refreshing.
"After that, let's sleep together at night. "I took it upon myself to put rooming on the agenda.
After washing, carefully place the eggs in the box. The chances of smashing into a ghost during the day are slim, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to be separated from him for a while.
At the dinner table, my mother filled a bowl of vegetables for me and looked at me lovingly: "An An, is that egg about to break? Is it written in the manual that the fairy gave you what kind of son-in-law is? Or will it be a fat doll inside, do you need to make some clothes for him in advance?"
I shook my head, very helpless: "I can't read the rest of the book, I'm afraid I can only open it when the time comes."
Don't make clothes yet, he should grow up quickly! Otherwise, when he grows up, I will be old, and the immortals will not want to marry an old woman as a bride. ”
The father also nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's not too late to prepare when he comes out!"
How are you living in the West Wing lately? You didn't get up for breakfast this morning, didn't you get a good rest last night?"
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it. "I won't tell you strange things to scare you.
I quickly took a few bites of rice: "Dad, mother, I'm done! I'm going to cultivate a relationship with your son-in-law!"
After I left, both elders sighed.
Mother: "I don't know if this can hatch a person? I dreamed at night that I was surrounded by a flock of chirping chirping. ”
Father: "Don't think about it. As long as my daughter is safe. If it's really a chick, then we'll have a mascot. It's good that my daughter is not married, so it's good to stay with us all the time. ”

Since I slept with my eggs in my arms at night, I feel that my whole body has improved my spirits, and I have never encountered strange things again.
Ping'er said that I was contaminated with my uncle's fairy spirit, and maybe I could prolong my life.
But I wasn't the only one who took advantage of it, and I found that the egg was starting to metamorphose again. Half a month has passed, and now the eggshell is as clear as jade, and even the moonlight can penetrate it.
However, the contents are like a ball of cotton, and I can't see it clearly, so I can only estimate the size.
I reached out and clenched my fists, about that size.
That night, I slept with my egg in my arms as usual. It was obviously warm, but I felt cool when I held it.
Immortals are good, and they will feel very comfortable living in a broken temple and sleeping in the future.
"Lady, don't worry! With a husband, it won't be a problem to sleep anywhere!"
"Hey...... Hehe...... "I closed my eyes and grinned happily at the corners of my mouth.
"Zhao Yu'an, it's so cold this winter! My hands are frostbitten! I really envy you for having a husband who is warm in winter and cool in summer!"
"Yes, yes, we were all wrong! I'm sorry, can you forgive us, can you tell us how we can find such a perfect husband?"
Hahahaha......
"Don't dream! My husband is a god in the sky!
The red stuffed bird jumped out of its shell, jumped on the pillow and tilted its head to look at the mortal woman who had hatched herself, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
What if you look a little silly?
It flapped its wings irritably, not understanding why its guardian would choose a mortal lady for itself.
The Phoenix Clan has always been loyal to their partners, and once they have chosen a candidate, they will never change. Because of the scarcity of numbers, it is difficult to match the age-appropriate phoenix, so it gradually begins to form a relationship with other races, and even hatching this kind of thing is handed over to the future partner.
But for how to choose a partner, the clan still attaches great importance to it. There is a three-life stone in the phoenix clan, which was born in response to the world, and you can see the partner who is most suitable for the little phoenix.
Although this stone is not 100% effective, it is not enough to make me a mortal woman, is it?
But she hatched me!
According to custom, I should have taken her as my wife, or I would have become an ungrateful bird who had abandoned the chaff!
No, I'm going to be a good bird!
The red stuffed bird sighed and decided to accept his fate of spending the rest of his life with a mortal.
It looked at the person lying on the bed carefully, well, although it was a little silly, but it looked quite cute, and it didn't seem to be unacceptable.
Lady, why do you want to be so smart! She doesn't need to make money to support her family, she just needs to be happy. Being happy doesn't need to be smart, being smart is my thing!
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was nothing wrong with the current situation, and the stuffed bird gently jumped up to his wife's side, formed a furball against her, and fell asleep beautifully.
My neck suddenly itched, like someone was pinching a feather and scratching me. I rolled over and reached out to grab it, and as soon as I grabbed it, it felt a little rounded.
I opened my eyes and met a pair of round, golden pupils.
“叽。 ”
嗨! Daughters and children!
The fist-sized red fur ball looked at me obediently.
I looked down and saw an empty eggshell with a wide mouth.
Takataka Todoroki——
Like a thunderbolt blowing up, my dreams were split into foam.
It turns out that my husband is really a big chicken cub!
"唉~"
"唉~"
"唉~"
Our family of three fell silent in front of the red chick in the center of the table.
Ping'er walked in with a freshly chopped apple and brought it to the chicken cub in a teacup. The chick nodded at Ping'er, as if to praise her for doing a good job, and then proudly lowered her head and pecked at a piece of apple foam, eating very elegantly.
Ping'er grabbed the plate, her eyes sparkled and said, "Uncle, he's so smart!"
It's smart, and it's even better if it's a person.
I held my chin and stared at the chicken cub pecking at the apple, but I was cute and lovely, but I was not human.
Noticing my gaze, the chick tilted its head to look at it, then buried itself in the quilt, pecked, pecked, pecked, and finally found the largest apple and jumped at me with it in its mouth.
"叽叽!"
The lady eats the big one, and I eat the small one.
"Wow! he still knows that Miss Care!" Ping'er lit up into starry eyes, "Uncle is really considerate." ”
Chicks are as cute as chicks! There are already a lot of people in the family, and it doesn't matter if there is one less!
I reached out and touched the feather on the top of his head, and said gently, "I don't eat it, you can eat it yourself." ”
