Zhan Zhao lifted up the quilt, stretched a bit, then jumped on the bed, hugging two little bamboo bears and rolling around on the bed.

The movement was a bit loud, and both Yaoyao and Xiaowu looked over.

Yaoyao yawned and continued to sleep. Xiaowu came over and squatted on the edge of the bed, tilting his head and looking at the excited Zhan Zhao on the bed.

The fifth master put the basin back and walked to the bed.

The two little bamboo bears were sleeping soundly, lying on two cushions, but were woken up by Zhan Zhao. They opened their eyes and stared at Zhan Zhao, and barked twice.

Bai Yutang reached out and picked up one of them. Zhan Zhao also sat up, hugged the other one and sat on the bed. He patted the bed board and motioned for Bai Yutang to sit down too.

After the fifth master sat down, he leaned back on the pillow, put the little bamboo bear on his chest, put one hand behind his head to support his head, and touched the little bamboo bear from his head to his buttocks with the other hand.

The little bamboo bear moved twice, then began to melt, and finally turned into a soft puddle, crawling on Wu Ye's chest.

Zhan Zhao turned the little bamboo bear over, with its belly facing him, and let it rest on his legs.

The little bamboo bear had a round and bulging belly. He was probably quite full and still a little sleepy. He leaned on Zhan Zhao's lap, closed his eyes, and dozed off little by little.

Zhan Zhao pinched two plump bear claws and felt comfortable all over. When he raised his eyes again, he saw that Bai Yutang might be a little sleepy and had closed his eyes and fell asleep. The little bamboo bear was lying on his chest, too.

He fell asleep and snored loudly.

Zhan Zhao put the dozing little bamboo bear in his hand on Fifth Master's belly, and let the two little bamboo bears lie side by side. He leaned sideways on the pillow, holding his chin, while looking at Fifth Master's sleeping face.

, while playing with the bamboo bears, the two little bamboo bears seemed to be covering Bai Yutang with a black and white floral blanket. Zhan Zhao rubbed the little bamboo bears and could feel the slight rise and fall of Bai Yutang's chest.

Zhan Zhao gently touched Xiao Zhuxiong's hand and moved it up unconsciously. His fingers started from Wu Ye's forehead and drew several undulating arcs along the bridge of his nose, lips, and chin. Then with a "swish", Xiao Zhuxiong

Stroke the soft back, then poke the little bamboo bear's fleshy butt, and watch the small tail sway twice...

Zhan Zhao just touched the fifth master, touched the little bear, poked the fifth master, and then poked the little bear... He was so happy and not sleepy at all!

…

In the blink of an eye, it was morning and the sky was bright.

Gongsun took a nap for a while, but because he was thinking about the autopsy, he got up early.

Xiao Liangzi got up early as usual, and Zhao Pu wanted to watch him practice, so he also got up.

The fourth son went to bed very late last night, but Gongsun didn't call him. He wanted him to sleep a little longer and have breakfast together when Mr. Bao came back in the morning.

The three of them were getting up and folding their quilts when they heard someone knocking on the door.

Xiao Liangzi ducked away, opened the door, and saw Zhan Zhao peeking in, "Are you awake?"

Xiao Liangzi nodded and opened the door. Zhan Zhao came in in a flash, followed by Bai Yutang who yawned gracefully. Master Wu conveniently stuffed something to Xiao Liangzi. Xiao Liang instinctively stretched out his arms and looked down -

Take a breath.

Little Liangzi was hugging a little bamboo bear, and he was so happy that he jumped up and down.

Gongsun was delighted when he saw Zhan Zhao running over holding another small bamboo bear - had he really stolen it?

Zhao Pu was quite puzzled. Didn't Zou Liang hide the little bamboo bear in his father's yard? Why did he show it to Zhan Zhao? Could it be that the Tang Sect discovered it and moved it?

Zhan Zhao hugged the little bear and ran to the fourth son's bed. The fourth son hadn't woken up yet, so Zhan Zhao put the little bamboo bear next to his pillow.

Xiao Liangzi also ran over and put the little bamboo bear on Xiao Sizi's bed.

A group of adults stood beside the bed, watching the little fourth child and two little bamboo bears sleeping together...ah! So cute!

While looking over here, footsteps were heard outside, the door was pushed open, and Lin Yehuo rushed in, "Look!"

When everyone turned around, they saw Huofeng holding two small bamboo bears and standing there in high spirits.

"Is the fourth son awake?" Huo Feng happily ran over here, and when he got to the bed, he was stunned when he looked at it.

Everyone looked at the two little bamboo bears on Xiao Sizi's bed, and then at the two in Lin Yehuo's hand - four?

Lin Yehuo put the two little bamboo bears on Xiao Sizi's bed and asked Zhan Zhao, "When did you two go and get the other two?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. Were they not the two stolen by Lin Yehuo? Then who put these two in Miaomiao Tower?

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked Bai Yutang, "Could it be Tianzun and my grandpa..."

Fifth Master nodded - it's very possible.

Just as they were nodding, someone knocked lightly on the door again. Everyone turned around and saw Tianzun and Yin Hou coming. The two elders smiled and asked, "Are you all here? Let me show you two good things!"

After saying that, Tianzun and Yin Hou stretched out their hands from behind their backs, and each of them ran in holding a small bamboo bear.

"The demon king passed by Tang Menshun when he went to buy rice cakes in the morning." Tianzun ran over with a smile, "Let the little four play for a while first..."

When they reached the bedside, the two elders were also stunned. Four of them were already lying on the bed.

"Hey!" Tianzun nodded, "You guys are quite fast!"

Yin Hou also put the two on the bed.

Zhan Zhao counted them - six...

Bai Yutang asked Tianzun and Yin Hou, "Didn't you steal those two on our bed?"

The Demon King and Tianzun both shook their heads.

Zhan Zhao wondered, who put it in Miaomiao Tower?

"Maybe it's my second brother..." Fifth Master touched his chin, "Yesterday when I was eating, I seemed to hear my second brother and third brother discussing whether they could dig a tunnel to get two bamboo bears..."

"Oh..." Everyone nodded, that's it...

At the same time, I heard a very angry voice from outside, "Fifth brother! Zhan Mao Mao..."

Gongsun quickly went to cover the ears of the fourth son.

Xiao Liangzi went to the door and waved to the yard.

In the yard, Xu Qing and Jiang Ping were both here. Third brother Xu came in happily holding two small bamboo bears. When he saw everyone "booing" him, he lowered his voice and said, "Second brother stole it!"

Everyone supports their foreheads - eight!

Lin Yehuo clapped his fingers and said, "Oh! The Tang Sect only brought eight of them in total... none of them were left for Zhao Zhen."

Zhao Pu waved to Xu Qing and asked him to put the two on the bed.

Let’s look back, okay! The fourth child is sleeping in a pile of bamboo bears.

There was a little bamboo bear that nuzzled into Little Fourth's arms, and Little Fourth hugged it easily. He probably thought it felt pretty good and soft, so he hugged it decisively and continued to sleep.

There were a group of adults and a little Liangzi who was leaning against the edge of the bed with his chin in his hands. He couldn't help but sigh - oh! I feel so empty!

Here we were watching the dumplings all over the bed, and we heard that there was chaos outside.

Some people banged the drum of grievance with "dong dong dong", and some people shouted. The sound they heard should be the four brothers of the Tang Sect.

"Those who stole the bears! Give us back the bamboo bears!"

"You Kaifeng Mansion went too far! All eight little bamboo bears were stolen!"

"You actually let the dragon catch the bear! How outrageous!"

"Give me back the bamboo bear!"

…

"dragon……"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and saw outside the window, Yao Yao and Xiao Wu, who had slept well, were coming out. Xiao Wu stretched himself on the spot, and Yao Yao flapped his wings and flew to the window, sticking his big head in.

, and looked at Xiaosizi and Xiaozhuxiong on the bed.

Zhan Zhao finally understood that the two bamboo bears on their bed were captured by Yao Yao and hidden in Miaomiao Tower!

The fifth master reached out and touched Yaoyao's big head and praised, "You are really capable!"

It was probably because there was too much noise, and the fourth child was finally woken up. He opened his eyes, and his vision was completely black and white... The fourth child rubbed his eyes, reached out and grabbed a handful, it was so furry!

After being stunned for a moment, the little boy blinked his eyes and woke up. He looked again - the bed was full of little bamboo bears!

"Yeah!" The little fourth child hugged the two little bamboo bears and started rolling all over the bed.

I don’t know if it was because they were all dumplings, but several little bamboo bears also screamed and moved closer to the little fourth child, and the big and small ones rolled together.

A group of adults who had not slept well all night gathered around the bed, watching and rubbing their chests - they were exhausted when they woke up, and watching dumplings was indeed the most healing thing!

Outside the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Bao happened to be back, and Taishi Pang and the Eighth Prince also came with him.

In the early morning of the court, Bao Zheng and Zhao Zhen reported that they found a suspected trafficker's den in Xiangzhuang in the south of the city and found a large number of dead bones. The civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

Zhao Zhen refused to accept the fact that there was a trafficker under his nose. The Long Shu case was shot loudly, and the Kaifeng government was ordered to thoroughly investigate the case. If it really involves human trafficking, the real culprit must be caught and severely punished.

Both the Grand Master and the Eighth Prince wanted to visit Xiangzhuang, so they came back with Mr. Bao.

As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw four brothers from the Tang clan coming to "beg for bears".

Both the grand master and the prince were curious, "Little bamboo bears? Where are they? Can I take two back to raise them?"

Lord Bao helplessly waved to the four brothers and asked them to follow him into Kaifeng Mansion.

As soon as everyone entered the courtyard, they saw the Demon King passing by with Yue Ya'er and Chen Xing'er carrying several plates of fried rice cakes.

A few of them had woken up so early that they hadn't eaten yet. They looked at the plates curiously, wondering what was being fried here? Why is it so fragrant?
