Office. Zhou Hui closed the door with his backhand and immediately stretched out his hand: "Quick, quick, give me a cigarette!"

Yu Jingzhong quickly touched a red panda and handed it over. Zhou Hui slapped it on fire and took a deep sip: "Hoo... I'm suffocating me to death. You look at me, just take this one."

Little Phoenix went from the egg to the little bird cub. During this process, Zhou Hui couldn't leave the person. So Zhou Hui resisted the addiction to cigarettes until now, and finally got the little Phoenix out of sight for half an hour. Just like this, he was afraid that the smell of smoke would not be exhausted after half an hour, so he didn't dare to smoke too much.

Yu Jingzhong and Zhang Shun both stared at him with silent eyes. For a long while, Zhang Shun suddenly gloated, "...I suddenly remembered that it may take more than a thousand years for my brother from childhood to adulthood, so Your time to stay alone with your empty girl..."

"My brother-in-law," Zhou Hui said gloomily, "Lao Tzu is a person who killed the Buddha once, are you sure you still want to tease?"

Zhang Shun immediately turned his head and said nothing.

Yu Jingzhong hahahad the round, introduced the current situation of Guoan Sixth Group to two long-term absentees, discussed how everyone will rotate in the future, and the geographical distribution issues, focusing on the introduction of the now no one. The fifth group and the fourth group without even the leader.

Zhou Hui took it for granted: "Galouro. Galouro is just a brick, so he needs to move wherever he is. In the future, all tasks of recruiting and training for field work will be assigned to him, and his salary should be appropriately increased every month. Just another five hundred yuan..."

Vice Yu said: "I was just about to ask you. The day above, I was asked to ask how Garuda compares to King Phoenix?"

"What's the matter? My second kid is a fool, what's the matter?"

"..." The corner of Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "It means how well the wish is fulfilled... Phoenix is ​​not the real King, the big guys are all right to make a wish and ask the NDRC if The oil price increase has worked several times. I just wanted to ask if the Dapeng Golden Bird also has the corresponding function. After all, there is no official title on the head, and the big guys have no idea."

Zhou Hui said: "Oh, it doesn't work to find Jialou Luo, you should go to Xiaofeng. Put him in the infant car and tie him with a safety strap, otherwise he will run around, set a futon below to let people Shangxiang...Remember that the tribute requires fresh milk, candy and honey. He dare not eat more chocolate, for fear that he will not sleep at night."

Yu Jingzhong nodded and noted, while Zhang Shun suddenly stopped doing it: "Why can't you eat chocolate?"

"...Huh?"

"When I was a child, my brother used to buy chocolates for me! Milk chocolate will obviously be fine!" Zhang Shun excitedly said: "I can't bear to spend money and just say it, why not even eat chocolate?!"

"Can you take good care of my brother like this! My brother is too young now, don’t know, no matter how much money a man has! It’s true to spend money on him!" Zhang Shun held a dark eye socket, Immediately seized the opportunity to sprinkle his anger on Zhou Hui's head: "I cheated my brother away even if he couldn't bear to buy chocolates. Such a stingy man should obviously be an orphan rhythm!"

Zhou Hui's whole person is a little bit wrong, staring at the outrageous brother-in-law for a long time.

After a long while, he turned to Yu Vice and said: "Tell them to bring chocolate when they come to the fragrant...Try to bring white chocolate."

Yu Jingzhong: "..."

At this time, the door was knocked twice and then pushed open. Garuda came in and looked curiously at the black-eyed, chicken-like Buddha and Yu Fu, who was full of black lines, and then asked: "Father? Have you taken the key to mother's office?"

Galuda finally stopped wearing his old sports t-shirt-but Dapeng Jinniao was frugal and self-denying. He took his dad's credit card and only went to the mall to buy a set of discount shirts and jeans. Steamed one of the cheapest snakes, just came back after eating, and found that it was locked outside the office of the fourth group leader.

"Oh," Zhou Hui said casually, "Your mother is studying painting there, so don't disturb him... Is the restaurant downstairs open? Get me a takeaway."

Galouro turned around and left, and after two steps, he turned around suspiciously: "Mother is learning to paint inside?"

"Hmm."

"Mother is transformed?!"

Before Zhou Hui could react, Garuda raised his foot and ran upstairs. Zhou Hui immediately jumped up and said angrily: "Your mother is mine! Don't go find him all the time! Hey, don't be with your mother. Talk nonsense in front of you!"

In Zhou Hui’s eyes, Jialou Luo's body is simply an old sweater for the season. Who knows if the little Phoenix will see it in his eyes, remember it in his heart, and wait for the day to suddenly recover his memory and strip Zhou Hui naked. He drove out of the house to avenge his younger son. Helplessly, Garuda ran like his mother with the wind, and in a flash, the figure disappeared. Zhou Hui was about to chase out, suddenly there was a dull-boom!

Yu Jingzhong abruptly got up: "What's wrong?"

Boom!

The ceiling swayed rustlingly, and fine dust fell.

Zhang Shun suddenly changed his expression: "——Upstairs!"

Several people rushed out of the office, went up the stairs, and almost immediately locked the direction along the vibration—it was the Chuhe office upstairs directly connected by the internal elevator.

Many people rushed out of the office, staring around in amazement. Zhou Hui pushed everyone away, followed the stairs three steps and rushed up in two steps, ran directly to the door, and shouted: "Little Phoenix!"

"Tell a few people to stop the restricted area, and don't let people run up." Yufu casually pulled a personal order, and then stepped forward, only to hear a shock when he settled down—boom!

Yu Jingzhong’s first reaction was an earthquake, or the foundation was laying in the house. With this sound, Zhou Hui's face immediately turned pale, and he lifted his leg and kicked the door viciously-huh!

The door panel hit the wall hard and didn't bounce back. It broke into several pieces on the spot, and the scorching light instantly made several people step back at the same time. Under the strong light, Yu Jingzhong's retina was blank for several seconds, and his vision gradually recovered after a while, and the movement in the room turned out to be not an earthquake, but a fire!

——Little Phoenix knelt to the ground in pain, clutching an old dark blue thread-bound notebook tightly in his hands, already wrinkled so that he couldn't see his true colors. Surrounded by the raging golden red flames, he rushed up to the roof like some kind of ferocious ancient monster, and then let out an explosive roar.

Zhou Hui was about to rush over on the spot, but was stopped by Zhang Shun: "Wait!"

Yu Jingzhong shouted: "No! Why is there no temperature?!"

"The mortal fetus in the flesh can't feel that kind of temperature!" Zhang Shun said loudly in the boom, "Wait, it may be the fire of Nirvana that didn't burn out last time!"

I saw the flames almost filled the entire room, turning it into a world of fire. The strange thing is that except for the strong light that makes it impossible to open the eyes, the air temperature has not risen at all, and the violent air current rushes along with the flames, pushing Zhou Hui back, who has broken free from Zhang Shun's desire to rush in.

"Phoenix! How are you Phoenix! Feng Si!" Zhou Hui threw Zhang Shun fiercely with his backhand, shouting, "Fuck! What the **** is going on!"

At this moment, the little phoenix finally couldn't help but let out a painful cry, his fingers cramped and grasped tightly, tearing the thread binding abruptly!

——A piercing sound, so slight in the crackling flame, but so clear.

The next moment, a figure in white clothes, wide sleeves and long hair suddenly rose from the torn and burning paper, and appeared in front of the little Phoenix!

"Brother...Brother?!" Zhang Shunzheng was pushed a few steps by Zhou Hui, and when he saw the phantom, he immediately said in amazement: "Brother?!"

Zhou Hui looked up, and was stunned.

Only the silhouette of an adult phoenix can be seen in the void, with his head down slightly, thin and lonely.

Little Phoenix raised her head, the tears on her tender little face were still wet, and she stared blankly at her adult self, with a trance left over from the severe pain; while King Phoenix leaned down and looked at him motionlessly. After a long while, he stretched out his hand in the fire, stroked the child's tender and soft cheeks, and then showed a smile.

"..."

He murmured something, but the distance was too far, and the fire flooded all the whispers.

Immediately afterwards, his phantom shadow fell in the sky, and instantly disappeared in the body of Little Phoenix!

Zhou Hui’s pupils tightened like needles: "Phoenix!"

The fire stopped suddenly, and was quickly sucked away, and within a few seconds it was completely hidden in the howling air, as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Hui finally dashed up, grabbing the little Phoenix and trying to hug him, but he staggered and fell to the ground!

"What's the matter? How are you? What's uncomfortable?" Zhou Hui grabbed Xiao Fenghuang's face, forcibly opened his eyelids with his hands, and pinched him into a coma. However, Xiao Fenghuang's whole body was convulsing, and he broke away in pain almost immediately, her small body curled up tightly in the trembling, and it took a long while to shiver and grab Zhou Hui's sleeve.

Zhou Hui held his cold fingers with his backhand, his heart was cut like a knife, his eyes glimpsed the half-burned thread-bound notebook on the ground, and he saw three words written on it——

Hold the corpse.

That is Phoenix's diary!

"Zhou... Zhou... Zhou Hui..."

Little Phoenix gasped, cold sweat rolled down her pale cheeks, her voice hoarse and weak:

"You...you wait...you wait..."

He hasn't spoken since he was born, and the sounds of those characters are very jerky and difficult. Zhou Hui leaned over his mouth and barely heard what he said:

"Wait...wait for me, don't go, I'll just..."

"I will soon...I will..."

His violent panting disappeared, and then he collapsed.

Zhou Hui suddenly raised his head and lost his voice: "Phoenix!"

However, Little Phoenix has lost consciousness. He was so unsteady in a coma that there was still pain and anxiety on his soft little face. The hand that had previously held Zhou Hui's sleeve hadn't let go, so desperately, as if all the strength of his body was being used. This is up.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Hui shuddered, grabbing the remaining corpse and turning over a few pages: "What is this and what is going on?!"

"Don't turn it over." Zhang Shun walked over, crouched down, and held him down and said: "Nothing can be seen."

Zhou Hui stared at the empty pages and said angrily: "What the **** did this do?!"

"Holding the corpse is not what you actually see. Only in the eyes of the phoenix can you see its true form and the things recorded in it. Maybe it is the mechanism that the phoenix arranged in it to prevent loss after Nirvana Set up by memory... The ancient gods and birds were formed earlier than Mount Sumeru, and there are some things that can’t even be said about the gods and buddhas."

Zhang Shun took the corpse, turned a few pages, and said helplessly: "In my eyes it is also blank, maybe the things recorded in it have now been absorbed."

Zhou Hui turned to the little phoenix in his arms, remembering the scene in which the phantom of the Phoenix Ming Wang was completely involved. At that moment, although his face did not change, his heart jumped wildly.

Is the memory sucked away?

Although the phoenix is ​​not visible on the surface, inside it is a cautious person. Maybe he had anticipated this a long time ago, hiding part of his memory in his diary...

Zhou Hui's posterior molars tightened slightly, and there was a trace of hostile anxiety hidden in his deep brows.

However, he was very careful. He tried to break the little Phoenix's hand tightly holding his cuff, but gave up because he was afraid of hurting his bones and soft fingers. Phoenix hugged.

"Wait until he wakes up." Zhou Hui got up and said: "I will take him home first."

Zhang Shun nodded worriedly.

·

However, one thing Zhou Hui didn't expect was that Xiao Fenghuang didn't wake up when he got home, and he still didn't wake up the next day.

After three full days have passed, he still shows no signs of waking up.

Zhang Shun, Yu Jingzhong, Yan Lanyu, and all the team leaders of the special department came over to take a look at it, but they couldn't tell why. Little Phoenix's situation is not so much a coma as a deep sleep, and he slept unsteadily. He had nightmares several times in the middle, and even uttered a dazed and very painful dream.

On the surface, Zhou Hui could hold it, and when Situ Yingzhi and Wu Bei came over, he could still say hello with a smile. However, anyone with eyes can see the irritation and violence hidden in his heart, which become more and more obvious with the passage of time, and there is almost an uncontrollable momentum.

Zhang Shun comforted him: "Don't be so anxious, my brother must be able to think about the starting point now. After waking up, he will be better than now. Can you just wait patiently?"

However, Zhou Hui only glanced at him coldly and said hoarsely: "... Thank you for your kind words."

·

The first change in things happened seven days after Little Phoenix fell into a deep sleep. Late that night, Zhou Hui held him in his arms to sleep, and was suddenly awakened by a violent gasp. He looked up and saw that Little Phoenix seemed to be having a nightmare again. He was struggling extremely hard, and layers of cold sweat soaked his pajamas.

Zhou Hui immediately hugged him in his arms and patted and comforted him. After a while, he heard the little phoenix muttering something vaguely. After going over and over several times, he suddenly called out very clearly and hurriedly: "Zhou Hui!" /

Zhou Hui thought he was finally awake, Huo Ran got up and turned on the light, and saw that the little Phoenix was opening his eyes weakly and fearfully. The moment he saw Zhou Hui clearly, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "... In..."

"I won't leave, how are you? Come and drink some water to wake up—Little Phoenix!" Zhou Hui's voice suddenly turned sharp: "Don't sleep! You can't wake up after you sleep!"

However, Little Phoenix's eyelids seemed heavy, and he barely blinked, but couldn't lift it up. He struggled repeatedly in dreams and reality, and stretched out his hand into the air, as if trying to grasp something.

Zhou Hui grabbed his cold fingers and held them tightly in his palms. At this time, he heard Xiao Fenghuang's particularly desperate and puzzled chant:

"You... why didn't you save Maha?"

Zhou Hui was taken aback.

The next moment he realized that the phoenix was talking in a dream, just like many times before, he dreamed of the scene when Maha was condemned by the heavens on the snowy field in Tibet.

"..." Zhou Hui didn't know what to say at all. There was a sour lump in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word. Fortunately, the little Phoenix lost consciousness after asking that sentence. He fell into a deeper dream, his body trembled violently, cold sweat poured out from every pore on his body like water, and his hair was soaked soaked on his face. A large area was wetted in an instant.

Zhou Hui promptly fed him water and kept warm. It took a long time to feed him because of his teeth clenching. Then he kept looking for dry cloth to wipe his body, and wrapped the little phoenix with new eiderdown duvets. The shivering and trembling barely stopped after several hours. At that time, the sky was bright, the bedroom was gray, and the tired cheeks of Little Phoenix showed a kind of gray in the darkness.

Zhou Hui carefully carried him back to the bed, changed the sweaty quilt, and was suddenly taken aback.

——Little Phoenix's body has grown up.

He had just been transformed, but he was a five or six-year-old child, so tender that he could pinch out water. Now overnight, he grew up two or three years old out of thin air, his height increased, his eyebrows also changed very slightly, and he looked like a teenager at first glance.

Zhou Hui was completely taken aback there.

"——Don't go, please wait for me to come back."

Are you going to follow the old light and shadow to find yourself lost in the fire?

Do you want me to wait for you to upstream from the long river of memory and return to me as an old person?

Zhou Hui's eyes fell on Phoenix's sleeping face. In the shadow, the little Phoenix's eyelashes were tightly closed, and the curved arc of the tail gave an incredible delicate and fragile feeling, which seemed to break into countless pieces with one touch.

Zhou Hui took a breath, lowered his head in the misty morning mist, and gently touched his sweaty forehead with his lips.
