Chapter 4, The Weeping Phoenix Feather Arrow

Perhaps, I said, in fact, the master said that having something to do is just an excuse, and maybe sneaking out to go on a blind date isn't out of the question. As I spoke, I burst into laughter again; it felt so good to speak ill of her behind the master's back

I nodded sincerely with the dragon.

Dragon, I, I, I can no longer run, run, run

"What on earth, stuttering again," I said, glancing back and letting out a sigh of relief, as Feng Wu Tian did not pursue me

Indeed, Long was so frightened that he became a stutterer, leaving me both amused and exasperated. "I am also quite worried about Master; it seems that this woman has ill intentions."

"Who are you?" I asked foolishly, stunned by her beauty. Her beauty was entirely different from my master's; it was a bold beauty, a proud beauty

"Really, really, is that true?" it said

I, along with the dragon-like creature, got lost. For two consecutive days, we wandered aimlessly in the woods. Due to our haste, we could no longer find our way back, and fearing an encounter with Feng Wu Tian, we continued to walk aimlessly, utterly exhausted

I was taken aback by this... How could the dragon come out? I hadn't considered this question, and I felt a bit foolish.

We all remained silent, watching the arrow feathers drifting in the wind, softly weeping. What exactly causes the arrow feathers to cry, and why do they weep with such pain and sorrow

Do not say you do not know. Long was somewhat anxious

"Go ahead," I said with a cheerful demeanor, speaking with generosity.

I nodded slightly, pondering the arrow behind her.

Who exactly is the thief, is it you, or is it me

Hello! You two, I am back

The dragon pushed me hard and said, "Why aren't you running? You fool!" With that, it took off in a flash. The two little birds chirped and followed closely behind, happily flying along.

You little thief, and this stuttering dragon. I finally caught you, so hand over the arrows honestly, otherwise, I won't hesitate to turn you into a hornet's nest!

"Nonsense!" Feng Wu Tian said, "The archer, in pursuit of the way of the bow, still concerns himself with so much. Step aside, I am going to shoot!"

I also understand that indeed, the arrow feathers are made from the tail of this magical bird, no wonder they are so beautiful and mysterious. It is precisely because of these arrow feathers that the magical arrows capable of turning are created. The great bird circled around us, then slowly flew away into the distance, after flying for a while, it returned again, continuing to circle, and then flew away into the distance once more, repeating this cycle.

"Yes, yes, yes, that bird!" exclaimed the dragon excitedly

Lai Long chuckled softly, turned his head to see the "works" I had piled up, and made a strange face, pulling a funny expression. "Lei, did you pile this up for me? This thing..."

Arrows are quite particular. Generally speaking, the weight, length, and thickness of arrows vary. Those who rely solely on brute force, like the likes of gold and stone, use very crude arrows, while the arrows used by masters are delicate and clearly designed for women. The fletching is also very important for arrows; if the fletching is too long, it will affect the speed, and if it is too short, it cannot maintain balance. However, my master often teaches me not to be overly concerned with my own arrows; a true divine bow can even function without arrows. I became confused again, realizing that my master had been speaking for a long time, and it was all nonsense. Nevertheless, I have indeed encountered a special type of arrow, the phoenix feather arrow.

"Don't move, someone is coming. If they realize you are a dragon, it will be a disaster," I said, casually pointing into the distance. Suddenly, I noticed a small black dot in the snow, slowly making its way toward us. Its figure was small, but it was moving quickly, becoming clearer amidst the swirling snow. Someone is really coming.

I turned my head and secretly applauded, what a magnificent snowman archer! With its tall stature, raised head, and steady stance, one hand holding a bow and the other pulling the string, it exuded grace as if it were about to come to life. Lei Long is truly remarkable, having crafted a snowman so lifelike. A twinge of jealousy stirred within me; once again, Lei Long had outshone me. Lately, I couldn't quite understand it, but Lei Long seemed to excel at everything he did, which put me under pressure. I leaned in closer to take a look and noticed something was amiss.

I leaned in closer to take a look and noticed something was amiss.

Look! Long pointed ahead and stopped in his tracks

"Foolish dragon! I kicked the dragon-like creature. Of course, we did it together. Shut your mouth and let's go quickly."

Indeed, I said, you do not know that the master often has to go out; whenever something happens somewhere, the master always rushes over.

Lai Long was taken aback and asked, "What are you doing?"

"No, I want to get out, you fool," said Long, as he prepared to move.

Lai Long quickly nodded his head

Fool, I muttered softly, why can't you think for a moment, for instance, suddenly jumping out, making a fierce pose, and then shouting loudly: 'I am a dragon! Surrender your life!'

"This is what you brought upon yourself," she said. "Don't say I bully children." As she spoke, she released her grip, and the arrow shot out!

The dragon nodded slightly

Only the sound of Feng Wu Tian's startled exclamation could be heard, as she clearly realized that the arrow had been lost. At this moment, Lei Long also reacted, no longer hesitating. The rustling sounds of the forest filled the air as Lei Long ran towards me. We ran desperately like this, and soon, Lei Long surpassed me, as it was naturally gifted with swift feet. I was panting heavily and said

I will build a dragon, a dragon-like creature

Even if it's a claw, hurry up, or I will come out

What are you thinking about? I asked

The dragon-like creature said nothing, and with one claw, it grabbed me, pinning me under its armpit along with the book. It dashed away with all its might, and I could only feel the wind howling past me, while the forest surged forward at a terrifying speed, then receded behind us. Suddenly, I thought to myself that the two of us would make excellent thieves; at least, no one could catch us when we fled. Eventually, the creature grew tired of running, loosened its grip, and dropped me to the ground, its long tongue hanging out as it panted heavily. I suddenly thought again that the two of us would make excellent thieves; at least, no one could catch us when we fled. Finally, the creature was exhausted from running, released its grip, and threw me to the ground, its tongue hanging out as it gasped for breath.

No! I said, taking a step back

Good, good, good ... ... impressive, impressive, impressive ... ... arrow

Hurry up! I will count to three. One, two ... ...

"Eh? You, you, why are you stuttering too?" Long asked while running.

I quieted my mind and listened intently. At this moment, the night was still and silent, with only the gentle breeze softly blowing. The trees, in harmony with the sound of the wind, produced a rustling sound, as if whispering softly, lulling one into a drowsy state

She did not pay much attention, merely smiled, and upon seeing her master's small house, her attention was drawn to it. She raised her head and called out loudly: "Ruan Baiyun, come out, an old friend has arrived"

Well then, I will come back again. Tell your master that I have been here.

Yes, yes, yes ... ...

I simply hid the little bird in my bosom, shielding it with my body

After a long while, I sighed and put away the bow and arrows. Feng Wu Tian was still crying, completely devoid of the spirited demeanor from earlier.

It is very cold inside, my hands are about to freeze.

I tightened the bow on my body, crouched down, and stealthily made my way into the woods. As an archer, the first skills to learn are tracking and stealth, and I have certainly put in considerable effort in this regard. It is no exaggeration to say that even the cleverest fox cannot escape my tracking, and even the most cunning black bear cannot detect my presence. I moved gracefully through the trees, like the most agile antelope, without making a sound. Finally, a sudden flash of light appeared ahead, and I quickly hid behind a tree, cautiously peeking out. A wave of joy surged within me; it was a campfire.

Leilong was also gazing at the arrow feather. It looked so intently that suddenly, a tear fell from its azure eyes. I was startled and quickly asked, "What’s wrong? Leilong?"

"Sound? I didn't hear any sound," I said. "Could it be that Feng Wu Tian is coming after us?"

"Shh, be quiet, you fool!" I couldn't help but exclaim.

Indeed. The dragon-like creature supported its chin with its claws, tilting its head in a seemingly serious manner. After pondering for a moment, it said: "It is truly strange; my master never seems to carry a bow, yet at critical moments, the bow appears in her hands."

Regardless of it, at that moment, as I turned to look at the dragon while riding the phoenix, I grabbed the vine on the tree and swung over with a whoosh, picked up an arrow from the ground, and swung to another tree, clean and swift! It was in my hands! As soon as I climbed the tree, I immediately began to run, leaping rapidly from treetop to treetop, and in no time, the firelight was no longer visible. In the distance, I could still hear the dragon had not yet finished that complete sentence.

In the distance, I could still hear the dragon had not yet finished that complete sentence.

The dragon hesitated for a moment and stepped aside

How do I get out

"Kailong, don't move, someone is really coming," I said nervously. This is not a joke; after all, Kailong is a dragon, and most people would be frightened upon seeing one.

"Wait, wait, wait a moment," said Long. "What, what sound is that?"

"Wonderful, I've got the arrow!" I said proudly, raising the arrow in my hand high.

"Do not think that just because I have left, you can act recklessly. I will return." The master tightened the bundle on his back.

Oh my God! No! I shouted in terror

After a considerable amount of time, Lei Long finally regained his composure, and we exchanged anxious glances. Lei Long stammered, "Thank you, thank you. If it weren't for you, I... I..."

My gaze fell upon the arrow. The beautiful fletching of the arrow hung softly, swaying helplessly in the wind, producing an extremely faint sound, a sound of weeping. An arrow with fletching that can cry

I was stunned, unable to react for a long time. Suddenly, I jumped up, rushed over, and brushed the snow off the creature resembling a dragon. I anxiously shouted, "Dragon, dragon! Are you alright? Speak to me, dragon!"

I really don't know what the Snow Dragon looks like," said Long, with a heart full of longing, "It must be very beautiful and majestic...

In front stands a great tree. The enormous tree is so tall that one cannot see its top even when looking up; countless thick branches stretch out in all directions, forming an immense canopy. This tree is so gigantic that the surrounding trees appear like mere blades of grass in its presence. It is so ancient, as if it has stood there since the dawn of the world, silently observing the changes of this realm. White birds circle around the great tree, spiraling in endless loops, emitting mournful cries, as if pleading for our assistance.

"Building a snowman? Sure, sure!" The dragon, intrigued, clapped its claws and happily asked, "What should we build?"

When did you see the master take up a bow? I retorted

Crying?" Feng Wu Tian asked strangely, "What crying?"

The story has come to an end

"You dare to compete with me in archery?" Feng Wu Tian mocked, "Just based on you?"

I, I, understand, it, it

As I turned around, the person had already moved so quickly that they were behind me.

I climbed down the tree. A dragon-like creature approached me

Then let me show you. Saying this, she took the bow and arrow from behind her, drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and aimed at the snow mound resembling a dragon

Indeed

Hurry up, what are you doing! I cursed in my heart, feeling anxious.

I nodded sincerely with the dragon.

I, I, I, I ... ...

The sky gradually darkened, and the snow fell lighter and lighter. Finally, when the moon revealed its face, the last snowflake floated down and disappeared onto the ground. At this moment, the earth was covered in silver white, illuminated by the cold moonlight, bright and clear, exuding a sense of tranquility and mystery. It was at this moment.

Ah, please stop talking, my heart is quite restless. Just nod or shake your head

My face turned red. The thing I built was too pathetic: a large snowball at the bottom, a small snowball on top, with a head drooping awkwardly, thin arms and legs. Rather than resembling a dragon, it looked more like a hen laying eggs. The dragon-like creature watched for a while and suddenly burst into laughter, rolling on the ground with laughter, sending snow flying everywhere. I got angry and pulled the dragon-like creature over, saying: "Stand still! Don't move!" The dragon-like creature watched for a while and suddenly burst into laughter, rolling on the ground with laughter, sending snow flying everywhere. I got angry and pulled the dragon-like creature over, saying: "Stand still! Don't move!"

Oh no, I don't know when the master will return

Return the arrow to Feng Wu Tian, and then ask her to take us out, right? After spending such a long time with Lei Long, I can basically guess his thoughts.

I frowned and said, "Could you please refrain from speaking like that? It sounds quite exhausting."

Is it guiding us

No, I said

As apprentices, we should share some responsibilities with our master, as there are always some untrustworthy individuals seeking to compare themselves to our master. Even if our master does not become exhausted, he will certainly be troubled

What do you understand? I said, continuing with my work, If I pile the snow on you, wouldn't that create a living dragon?

Where does the sound come from

"Let us go, Long," I said

The master once said, the most important principle of archery is that one must not build their bow and arrows upon the suffering of others; even if the divine does not punish you, the bow and arrows will punish you.

You are seeking death! Feng Wu Tian said as she drew back the bowstring

I nodded slightly, but upon further reflection, I quickly shook my head again

Then I will stack a bowman, Lei," replied Long.

I, I, I do not, do not, know

Oh. The dragon nodded and swiftly darted around to the other side of the forest

"How amazing," she exclaimed, "Have you ever seen a dragon?"

No, no, I am... I am talking to the snowman. I concealed my feelings and scrutinized that strange stranger

"That is their mother," I said, "She is leading us, wanting us to help her save these two poor babies"

The phoenix dances in the sky, still weeping, its cries drifting in the wind

How about we return the arrow...

I instinctively hid the little bird behind me, but Feng Wu Tian still noticed it

Where has your master gone

Are you trying to infuriate me! The master lifted his leg and kicked Lei Long, who was taken aback and quickly began to shake his head

"You, you, you go and take a look," said Long.

I, I, I also want to, but, but, I was startled by her, I, I ... ...

Will you act recklessly

I nodded along with Leilong, but suddenly, I realized and quickly shook my head, while Leilong continued to nod foolishly.

Her smile has vanished, and she looks very disappointed. "When will you be back?"

The Way of the Bow, the White Bird's Phoenix Feather Arrow! The woman put away her bow, turned around, proud and ethereal, "Tell your master that Feng Wu Tian will come to find her again in ten days. In addition to the arrow, she must hand over the Earth Bow." As she spoke, she had already walked far away, her last words drifting in the swirling snow.

This ... ... um ... ... '' I scratched my head

"Your master?" The mysterious woman turned around and looked me up and down again, as if she found it quite strange. "Since when did Ruan Baiyun start taking on disciples?" she muttered to herself, then turned to me with a smile, as if coaxing a child

I slowly drew back the bowstring in my hand, while Feng Wu Tian aimed at me

"Did you not just say that?" said Long with dissatisfaction

I ask you, do you use the tail feathers of a phoenix tail bird to make arrow fletchings

Perhaps there is.

"Is it common for the master to go out?" asked Long, feeling somewhat uneasy.

It is winter

"With the bow in my hand," I said, "Dragon, step aside, trust me"

"You don't have any brains!" I kicked it hard, "Do you think Feng Wu Tian is that easy to provoke? It's a wonder she hasn't skinned us alive yet!"

It was truly a laborious task. I absolutely could not lose to this dragon; it would be too embarrassing. Therefore, despite being utterly exhausted, I persevered. Although it was freezing cold, I soon found myself panting and drenched in sweat. However, through my efforts, the snow gradually piled up from the dragon's feet to its chest, neck, and then its head. Only its two eyes and a pair of nostrils were visible. I looked at it with some satisfaction; it was indeed a commendable creation. A living snow dragon appeared before me, albeit a bit plump, yet it was the most beautiful work I had ever seen. I took two steps back, tilted my head to admire it, and I couldn't have felt prouder. At last, I had outdone this silly dragon. I took two steps back, tilted my head to admire it, and I couldn't have felt prouder. At last, I had outdone this silly dragon.

I helplessly shook my head and said, "I don't know what to do either." My gaze fell again on the arrow in my hand, and I muttered to myself, "Oh arrow, oh arrow, it is all your fault. Now we cannot go back."

If I find out that you two dare to cause trouble, hum hum ... ...

Especially you, do not be lazy, do not forget your homework, and when I return, make sure to chop all the firewood, understood

"What a big snowman, is it a dragon?" she asked

Stop talking nonsense, I hit the dragon-like creature hard and said, "Quick, take me and run..."

"She is just in the small grove ahead," I said quietly. Long tried to remain silent, nodded, and glanced anxiously at the grove in front.

You go over there, I said, I will go this way, hurry up.

What has happened?

Long live, long live! I suddenly shouted, running in the snow, throwing the snow on the ground into the sky, excited like a bird released from its cage

"You two, behave yourselves and do not cause any trouble," the master said with a furrowed brow

Fool! I kicked Lei Long hard, finally the master has left, and you still use her snowman to scare me. Every time I see the master, I feel anxious...

It is already dead, I looked up at the sky, which was empty, if I am not mistaken, it is those arrow feathers, the arrow feathers that would weep

This is a placeholder text.

Winter, ah, winter. Snow, drifting, drifting. This is life, a calm yet enjoyable life

The arrow that can turn

Do not worry, I said, patting the shoulder of the class dragon, making firewood is easy, shall we build a snowman instead

"Yes," Feng Wu Tian said, "only this kind of feather can be used to make arrow fletchings. What does it have to do with you? Step aside!"

However, it was already too late. The woman's hand loosened, and the arrow shot out like a meteor! A resounding sound echoed through the sky. I had never heard such a sound before, nor had I ever encountered an arrow that could produce such a unique piercing noise. That sound, it was like the call of a bird! Like the cry of a crane, but louder; like the scream of an eagle, but sharper, as if a gigantic white bird was soaring through the sky, singing a high-pitched song. The arrow instantly reached the front of the dragon-like creature with lightning speed, and my blood felt as if it had frozen; my face turned pale with shock, leaving me speechless. Just then, the most incredible thing happened: the arrow suddenly swerved in front of the dragon-like creature, veering off and flying past it without disturbing a single snowflake. Then, still at that incredible speed, there was a loud "bang" as the arrow pierced through the head of another snowman, causing it to collapse entirely, with snow flying everywhere and hitting my face painfully. At that moment, the most unbelievable event occurred: the arrow suddenly swerved in front of the dragon-like creature, veering off and flying past it without disturbing a single snowflake. Then, still at that incredible speed, there was a loud "bang" as the arrow pierced through the head of another snowman, causing it to collapse entirely, with snow flying everywhere and hitting my face painfully.

I cautiously showed the two little birds to Leilong, who was momentarily taken aback and revealed a look of joy.

She did not answer my question, and then looked at the two snowmen again. I suppose the dragon-like creature hidden inside must be a bit confused as well

Wait for me! I shouted as I rushed over. The snow was still falling, drifting down beautifully; it truly was a lovely winter.

Ah, you two children, it is pointless to say anything more. The master, feeling helpless, said no more, waved his hand, sighed, and wrapped his snow-white cloak tighter around himself before turning to leave. We watched as the master's figure gradually diminished until it was no longer visible. In the snow, only a series of footprints remained. Soon, the swirling snowflakes erased even this last trace, leaving the entire land a vast expanse of white, a beautiful silver world.

"Thunder," the dragon-like creature looked at me, "Have you chopped the firewood?"

"What Long said is correct," I said coldly, placing the little bird on the ground and removing the bow and arrow from my back. "There is no justification for you to slaughter the innocent, to let these poor creatures suffer, and to allow their offspring to die of hunger"

"So, who are you?" I asked

She looked me up and down, and upon seeing my dazed expression, she laughed again: "How rude of a child to stare at someone like that. How are your parents raising you?"

The dragon nodded slightly. I could tell it was eager to speak. "What do you want to say?" I asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, it is the arrow feather," it said, lowering its head in sorrow, "yes, yes, it is, it is crying"

She hasn't gone far yet; why not take this opportunity to steal her arrow? What do you think?

"Hello..." Long said ambiguously, not daring to move his mouth too much, for fear of collapsing the 'Snow Dragon'.

"May I ask a question?" said Long, mumbling.

This, this, this, is hard to say

"Enough, you wicked woman!" Suddenly, Long leaped out, blocking my way, and spread his wings.

That was a bird's nest. The nest was intricately woven from white feathers, about the size of a small hut. I cautiously approached the nest and heard a series of chirping sounds coming from inside. Peering in, I was taken aback to see two chicks, their feathers not fully grown. Upon seeing someone approach, they eagerly opened their tiny mouths and chirped, clearly having gone several days without food. Suddenly, with a flapping sound, a large white bird landed beside me, looking down at me. I was surprised again; it was a large bird, even taller than a dragon. As it came closer, I could see its beautiful feathers shimmering, its lovely eyes, snow-white claws, and long beak. It looked at me, its face surprisingly full of expression. I understood and gently took the two chicks out of the nest. The chicks, startled, flapped their wings, while the large bird gazed at them with affection, a reluctant look on its face.

The chicks, startled, flapped their wings, while the large bird gazed at them with affection, a reluctant look on its face. Suddenly, tears flowed from its eyes. With a long cry, the white bird soared into the sky, gradually becoming transparent against the blue sky and white clouds, and then disappeared, like evaporating water vapor.

I waved my hand and said, "Don't mention it, this woman named Feng Wu Tian is truly remarkable"

She is a woman. Tall and elegantly dressed, on such a cold day, she surprisingly wears a long red gown, with her hair styled in a high bun. Her face is as fair as snow in a picture book, with arched brows and large eyes, exuding a heroic spirit. Standing in the snow, she appears both ethereal and striking, like a blooming vibrant rose. I noticed that behind her is a long bow.

A rustling sound echoed through the forest. I knew that the dragon-like creature had made its entrance. Sure enough, Feng Wu Tian turned her head, furrowing her delicate brows. Suddenly, the forest parted, and the dragon-like creature burst forth with a whoosh, baring its exaggerated teeth and grinning widely, letting out a loud roar

I was thinking, "As Long said, 'In fact, everything has life; the key is whether we are attentive enough to feel it.'"

This is a placeholder text.

I lifted my head. In the sky, a gigantic bird was soaring, a white bird. Its entire body was covered in snow-white feathers, pure and flawless like fresh snow, spreading its beautiful wings as it glided through the sky, emitting a series of resounding calls. What was most astonishing was its tail, a long tail radiating a spectrum of colors, dazzling in the sunlight, leaving one in a state of aesthetic daze. The tail was exactly like that of an arrow feather! What was most astonishing was its tail, a long tail radiating a spectrum of colors, dazzling in the sunlight, leaving one in a state of aesthetic daze. The tail was exactly like that of an arrow feather!

After stacking for a while, I began to feel disheartened. This dragon is truly difficult to assemble. Why does a dragon need to have wings? ... It's just this wing that I can't seem to get right, and then there's that long neck and the horned head ... . ... As I continued to stack, I found myself cursing inwardly. After a while, the dragon-like creature clapped its paws and exclaimed joyfully, "Lei, come and see, I’ve finished stacking it. How does it look?"

"Hey..." Long said foolishly, "There's no need to be so angry, burying me in snow."

Lai Long found this idea quite good, standing there with a smile, allowing me to pile up the snow.

I suddenly had an idea. "Dragon, you said, if this woman's arrows were gone, would she not be so formidable anymore?"

The dragon nodded slightly, then couldn't help but ask: "How can I attract her..."

I nodded sincerely along with Leilong

"Dragon, what shall we play now?" I asked eagerly

I, I, I... After stammering for a long time, my face turned red, yet I still couldn't come up with a coherent explanation. Truly, what a stuttering dragon!

Based on my deduction, the woman named Feng Wu Tian is capable of sleeping. If she intends to sleep, she will take off her bow and arrows. If she takes off her bow and arrows, I will have the opportunity to steal them. I am truly clever. I shared this plan with Lei Long, who appeared somewhat skeptical and seemed to want to say something, but under my stern gaze, he refrained from speaking. Fortunately, the footprints left by Feng Wu Tian in the snow allowed us to track her. We dared not approach too closely, maintaining our distance. I decided to take action under the cover of night.

What should I do? I really can't walk any longer, sitting on the ground, I asked.

The key is that arrow, I pondered, that arrow with the peculiar fletching, the arrow that can turn.

I stared blankly at the snowman she had shattered, "Long, do you think Master is her match?"

The dragon stood there dazed, without making a sound. I pushed it hard, and with a loud thud, the dragon fell over, still maintaining its previous posture, baring its teeth, with its mouth crooked, and its snot frozen. Goodness! The dragon was scared senseless.

My master's old friends are indeed numerous. I thought of this and immediately asked, "Do you know my master?"

Lai Long glanced at Feng Wu Tian, nodded, and turned to leave with me. I gently picked up the two little birds from the ground, and when I looked up at the sky again, the white bird had already vanished. All the phoenix tail arrows had shattered and broken, turning to dust that danced in the air. I took a couple of steps, turned back and said

The dragon looked at me innocently, and I understood what that meant

At this moment, Feng Wu Tian suddenly sighed, appearing very melancholic, completely different from during the day. What could be troubling her?

***

"Stop talking nonsense, where did you get your hands? You only have claws," I said sulkily.

"But she didn't take the bow?" Longqi asked curiously

"Don't, don't, don't rush, look, look, look at the sky," it said

"Like a master!" Long said triumphantly.

I nodded sincerely along with Leilong

The dragon nodded slightly. We said nothing more and, driven by curiosity, walked in the direction of the bird. The beautiful large bird, seeing us follow it, began to flap its wings and flew high in a certain direction. We kept walking, the forest growing denser and the path becoming increasingly difficult. I began to doubt what exactly this white bird wanted to do

"No, no." I hurriedly intervened, determined not to let all my efforts go to waste. "Let me think..." It was truly an awkward situation, so I simply sat down on the snow pile, resting my head on my hands, deep in thought. "It will be fine soon, it will be fine soon..."

Oh. The dragon-like figure nodded in realization.

I don't know. I shook my head. The woman hesitated in place, unsure whether to stay and wait or to leave. In the end, she seemed to have made up her mind and said:

***

"You are no longer stuttering?" I asked curiously

"Oh my, I am exhausted," it said

I nodded, tightened my clothes, and climbed up. What a large tree it was; one could easily get lost in it. The white bird called out again and again, its cries so piercing, as if it had countless sorrows to express. Finally, when I reached the top, I saw what it wanted me to see

Then, if we steal her arrows, she will have no way to compete with her master in archery, will she

Yes, yes, she, she also wants to embrace the earth

"Stop talking nonsense." I said, shoving a handful of snow into its mouth. The dragon sneezed, fell silent, and focused on standing still, allowing me to build this "snow dragon".

Yes, yes, yes...

Where, where, where has it gone

This is an archer. The strangest thing about her arrows, as seen on m.hetushu.com, is that they are unlike any arrows I have ever seen. The arrow fletchings are remarkably long, extraordinarily beautiful, and shimmer with a rainbow of colors, gently swaying in the wind as if they are alive. Can such long fletchings be practical?

We have gained two more companions, two little finches. Long looked at the small birds running around on the ground, somewhat in a daze

Is there snow as well

Leilong hesitated for a moment and said, "Did Master not ask you to chop wood?" Ever since Leilong grew up, it seemed to have become somewhat serious, often mentioning Master as if forgetting that Master was not its master, but rather my master.

The woman smiled, radiantly, "Do you not know who I am?"

Without hesitation, the two of us began to build a snowman in the heavy snow. Long, with his great strength, quickly rolled a large snowball, patting and tapping it from side to side, and soon formed a human shape. To be honest, I am not skilled at building snowmen; I had only watched other children play before. Back then, my master was very strict, and I had never built one myself, nor did I have anyone to accompany me, only feeling envious as I watched. Now, it is wonderful to have a dragon with me to push the snowman; it is truly delightful, indescribably delightful. I certainly cannot lose to this dragon, so I doubled my efforts and began to build.

What is this? Her eyes revealed a look of joy, "A phoenix tail bird! Where did you find it? Give it to me quickly!"

I went to steal the arrow, I continued, already confident in my plan, "You go distract her, as soon as she lets her guard down, I will be able to take the arrow.

No, no, not at all, you, you, you listen

"Is the one you piled up, me? The more I look, the more it seems like..."

I, I, I, I ... ...

I quietly took a breath, like a monkey, and swiftly climbed up the big tree. At the treetop, I saw Feng Wutian sitting by the campfire, holding my breath. Feng Wutian hugged her knees, silently gazing at the fire, with a bow and arrows beside her. I focused on the arrows, which changed colors under the firelight, some dazzling and eerie; these were the arrows that could turn. I felt a bit nervous, my hands slightly sweaty. Feng Wutian sat there, motionless, watching the campfire, lost in thought. I found it strange that she seemed not to be sleepy, as if she intended to sit there all night. If it were my master, he would have been snoring loudly by now. Fortunately, I was clever and thought of using the dragon-like creature to attract her attention. Darn dragon-like creature, why hasn't it come out yet? If it were my master, he would have been snoring loudly by now. Fortunately, I was clever and thought of using the dragon-like creature to attract her attention. Darn dragon-like creature, why hasn't it come out yet?

The dragon nodded slightly

Leilong was startled and quickly ran up to the high ground. After nervously looking around for a while and confirming that the master was not hiding nearby to eavesdrop, he finally sighed in relief and rushed back. This Leilong is actually more afraid of the master than I am, truly!

The dragon cautiously went to a high place to look around for a while, confirming that the master was indeed absent, before rushing back and anxiously asking, "When will the master return"

Suddenly, a resounding voice echoed from the sky! The great white bird appeared once more, soaring proudly through the heavens, radiating a strong white light. At that moment, the phoenix-tail arrows that lay quietly on the ground suddenly took flight, transforming into a white barrier that stood before me. The arrows of Feng Wutian collided with that barrier, breaking and falling softly to the ground. Feng Wutian appeared somewhat dazed, staring in terror at my aimed arrow! She had no more chances left, retreating step by step, when suddenly she stumbled and fell to the ground, her spirit shattered, unable to hold back her tears.

Don't move! With a rustling sound, the forest parted to the sides. Feng Wu Tian appeared, holding a bow, with an arrow aimed at me

She is not here; she has gone on a trip

The dragon nodded again.

"Yes, yes, you should listen more carefully," Long insisted, becoming somewhat serious. This demeanor was rarely seen from it.

"Have you ever heard the weeping of the arrow feathers?" said Lei Long quietly, showing no intention of moving aside. Oh, why is Lei Long no longer stuttering?

I listened intently. Finally, there seemed to be a sound, very faint. It could only be vaguely heard when the wind blew, low and soft, like the sound of something being stirred by the wind. However, upon further listening, it did not seem to be the wind at all; that sound was delicate, and the more I listened, the more it resembled the sound of weeping. After listening for a while, it became clear: it was a continuous sound of crying, so tragic, so helpless, as if someone was sobbing in a low voice, instantly filling me with an overwhelming sense of melancholy. Yet, upon further listening, it still did not seem to be the wind; that sound was delicate, and the more I listened, the more it resembled the sound of weeping. After listening for a while, it became clear: it was a continuous sound of crying, so tragic, so helpless, as if someone was sobbing in a low voice, instantly filling me with an overwhelming sense of melancholy.

There is no sound at all? I said with curiosity

"Stop talking nonsense, stand still." I said, piling snow onto its body.

What? I asked, "Now you have nothing to say, right?"

Why?

"Rest assured," I patted Lei Long on the shoulder. Now that Lei Long has grown taller, I can no longer reach his head. "Master usually goes out for ten days or half a month, so he won't be back so soon. This is our world now!" As I spoke with pride, I couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

Fool! Hurry up and say I am a dragon! I feel anxious for it in my heart

"Have you not heard? Have you not felt those feathers weeping? How many innocent beings have you killed to obtain those rare feathers? Do you not have a shred of compassion? Did you not question your conscience while killing these birds?"

At that moment, a voice of laughter came from behind me, "Child, who are you talking to?"

At that moment, a loud bird call suddenly echoed from the sky. Both my and the dragon's expressions changed; I recognized that sound, it was the sound of the white bird feather arrow shot by the Phoenix Dance in the sky. Frightened, I hurriedly tried to escape again, but the dragon grabbed me firmly.
