Chapter 38: The Wounded Harrier
"As the saying goes, it's hard to raise precious, and it's not expensive to raise. Like the water lily lily, peony flower, and tulip here are quite precious, I don't know which one you want? ”
Shen Mo listened absentmindedly to Xie Chongjun's introduction, and at the same time carefully looked at the flowers and plants in Yipintang.
At the door, there are some ordinary flowers and plants that bloom in full bloom in season, and there are more varieties in the room, and the bookcase-like flower stands are densely filled with various potted plants, and even a few potted vines are hung on the ceiling.
Shen Mo noticed that there were several inconspicuous pots of plants at the back door of Yipintang.
"What's that?" Shen Moqi said.
"That......" Xie Chongjun asked silently, touched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "Those are a few orchids that I cultivated myself, and they are not for sale." ”
"Oh?" Shen Mo asked with great interest, "You cultivated it yourself?" ”
"I used the 'Great Victory' and 'Monk Flower' cross-pollination to breed myself, originally I wanted to breed a fresh variety, but I didn't expect that I tried many times, but I didn't succeed." Speaking of this, Xie Chongjun was a little frustrated.
Shen Mo's heart moved, after he nourished these pots of orchids with aura, maybe it would be a completely new variety, and he would have a reasonable excuse at that time.
"Brother Xie, sell me these pots of orchids!" Shen Mo said suddenly.
Xie Chongjun was stunned: "Do you want it?" But these pots of flowers are going to die! ”
Hearing this, Xie Chongjun's face showed a strange expression: "Brother Shen, do you really want it?" I have other orchids here, and I have precious ones......"
"It's okay," said silently, "I'm just going to test it." ”
Xie Chongjun smiled bitterly: "Brother Shen, it's not that I won't sell it to you, but these pots of orchids are about to die, and they can't be raised at all." ”
So that's it!
Shen Mo became more interested, wasn't the pot of mutated camellia last time about to die, and then he rescued it? These pots of orchids are even more problematic!
Because of Shen Mo's insistence, Xie Chongjun had no choice but to give those pots of orchids to Shen Mo, but he couldn't support them anyway, and he could still sell his favor if he gave them.
So he thought for a while and said, "Since you want it, then you can take it directly, and I don't want the money." I, Xie Chongjun, won't sell a few pots of dying flowers for money! ”
Shen Mo is an old man, and when he heard the unfinished meaning in his words, he smiled and didn't speak.
Sure enough, Xie Chongjun scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "But if you can save one of them, you must take it back and sell it to me when the time comes!" I'm not going to miss you in terms of price! ”
"Let's see if we can save it first!" Shen Mo didn't agree directly, but the meaning was similar, anyway, after he cultivated the flowers, who wouldn't sell them?
Shen Mo carried the orchid seedlings that Xie Chongjun had packed for him, and after saying hello to Xie Chongjun, he was ready to leave.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, Xie Chongjun looked over, and at the door of the flower and bird market, there were many people gathered, as if they were all watching something lively.
Anyway, there was no one at this time, Xie Chongjun followed Shen Mo in a few steps, and followed him to the place where the crowd gathered.
Seeing Xie Chongjun coming over, many people who knew him automatically got out of the way and let him and Shen Mo walk in.
In the middle of the crowd sat an old farmer with a small animal cage at his feet, in which was a wounded bird.
Many people were very interested in the bird, and pulled the old man to ask questions, but few actually bid.
"Old man, your bird's wings are broken, and you can't sell it for any money, so it's better to sell it to me for a hundred yuan, I'll take it back and stir-fry it, and it's okay to make a snack for the snack!"
One of the foodies, staring at the cage with bright eyes, drooling, this is real game!
"I'm out of five hundred, although I'm injured and can't fly, but it's a national-level protected animal, and it's not bad to bring it back and show it off on the blog!" Someone touched his chin and pondered.
Xie Chongjun saw that Shen Mo looked at the bird very curiously, so he said, "That's a harrier, scientific name sparrowhawk, a kind of small bird of prey. Don't look at its small size, it's fierce! If you hadn't injured your wings, you'd be trapped in a cage! ”
Hearing this, Shen Mo's heart moved, and he nodded slightly at Xie Chongjun, but his eyes fell on the sparrowhawk.
One of the sparrowhawk's wings was injured, and it stood proudly in its cage with its eyes closed, as if it had no sense of what was going on around it. Probably feeling the silent gaze, the sparrowhawk suddenly opened its eyes, it looked at the silence arrogantly and coldly, and there was a faint sense of sadness in its eyes.
Shen Mo was touched by the light of its clear eyes, and such a sentence inexplicably appeared in his mind: Although the hidden dragon is trapped in the heavenly pool, it will soar to meet the world.
"Two thousand, this harrier belongs to me!" God sent the ghost, and the silence suddenly came out with such a sentence.
Not only was the old man startled, but Xie Chongjun was also incomprehensible, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "This harrier is injured, I'm afraid that it won't be able to fly anymore, even if you buy it back, it will be a dead end." ”
Sparrowhawks that can't soar in the sky are a dead end for them!
"What's more, it's not worth two thousand dollars!"
Xie Chongjun wanted to say something, but Shen Mo was very insistent, so he had to say no more.
Seeing that someone offered 2,000 yuan, the old farmer was very happy, and hurriedly gave Shen Mo the cage together, Shen Mo did not bargain, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, he really took out 2,000 yuan and gave it to the old farmer.
The person who came out of five hundred before looked at Shen Mo in a sneering manner: "Isn't it stupid to buy an injured bird for two thousand yuan?" ”
Shen Mo didn't bother to pay attention to the man, he held the cage in one hand and the packed flowers and plants in the other, and left the flower and plant market with a brisk walk, not feeling difficult at all.
When he got home, he silently counted the results of the battle, and he bought five pieces of jade, six orchid seedlings, and a wounded harrier.
His gaze fell on the sparrowhawk, probably because his eyes were so naked that the caged sparrowhawk felt a little uneasy, and it retreated to the edge of the cage, and from time to time spread its wings, and screamed viciously at the silence.
It's like intimidating him, I'm powerful, don't provoke me!
Shen Mo looked at the nervous sparrowhawk, a little embarrassed.
He was already quite skilled at deriving the Ruyi Immortal Qi, but it was a little difficult to get this injured and alive harrier to obediently cooperate with him.
If one doesn't get it right, the harrier died on the spot, so didn't he throw two thousand yuan for nothing?
At this time, Shen Mo suddenly thought of the "Imperial Beast Chapter" recorded in the "Qiankun War Record", according to the record in the "Qiankun War Record", this Royal Beast Chapter can be used to communicate with animals, and even be able to take them as pets.
Just right, you can try it on this harrier!
