Chapter 43 [Catching Parrots]

"Boss, you can help me bring the Yuan blue and white porcelain tiles tomorrow, I'll take a look at the actual goods."

Putting down this sentence, I stood up, turned around and walked out of Baoguo Temple, and waited for the bus in front of the stop sign at the north exit of Baiguang Road.

After a while, I glanced back at the Tongrentang Pharmacy not far away, hesitated slightly, or crossed the auxiliary road into the pharmacy, turned a bay inside, just saw Teacher Xi put the prescription on the black marble countertop for the staff to settle the account, the man in the white coat said that there were five pieces of Pinggai Ganoderma lucidum, two pieces of five and one piece of five, and asked her which one she wanted, and Xi Mansha said that she wanted the cheapest. I craned my neck and glanced at the prescription, the handwriting on the left few lines of symptom diagnosis was too sloppy to recognize, and the few herbs on the right could vaguely understand a few, and a number was added after each medicine, which should be grams, like Dilong 12, Lily 30, flat cover 3, and so on.

"How?" I asked, "What did the doctor say?" ”

"Hey, you didn't come home?" Teacher Xi looked at me in surprise: "The teacher is fine, the doctor said that my lung qi deficiency is not a heart problem, just take a few doses of medicine." ”

Six doses of medicine totaled three hundred and twelve, and after paying the bill, the staff handed her a small red plastic medallion with numbers written on it.

"Take the card, and take the medicine after half past two in the afternoon."

"Thank you." Teacher Xi pouted and looked at his watch: "Alas, it's still two hours." ”

I proposed, "You're not feeling well, why don't you go back first, my house is also close, I'll send you home after taking the medicine in the afternoon." ”

"No, no, what's so embarrassing, it's only two hours, and it's gone in a blink of an eye."

"What are you doing here?"

Teacher Xi thought for a while: "It's noon, the teacher invites you to dinner, where is there a good place here, you lead the way." ”

I estimated that she might be hungry, so I said: "There is a good restaurant in Hufang Bridge, I have eaten with my classmates a few times, and the price is also right, but it is a little far, and I have to take two or three bus stops." ”

"It's not far, let's go, it just so happens that the doctor asked the teacher to do more activities."

Hufang Bridge was chosen because it is relatively close to parrots. A year ago today, Boss Dou had something to do in the afternoon, closed the store early, I came out of the antique city at more than three o'clock to take the car home, but when I arrived at Hufang Bridge, the car and a 14 road that wanted to enter the station scraped each other, and had to get off the bus. I saw that it was not far from home, and it was not worth swiping the card again to take the car, so I was ready to wear Hu and go back. In a remote alley, I saw a few old men pointing at a tree, on the branch, a dead parrot hung there, I was quite knowledgeable, I knew that this was a very valuable ornamental bird, at that time I was a little sorry, thinking that if I had come an hour earlier, maybe it would not have been trapped in the tree.

After eating with the Cantonese restaurant, it was almost half past one.

Walking in front of the Hufangqiao Halal Supermarket, I paid attention to the time and was about to say goodbye to Mr. Xi.

"Gaga...... Ga...... Ga ......"

On the side of the busy street, a clear birdsong mingled with the sound of the engine.

Teacher Xi obviously heard it too, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's supposed to be a bird." I muttered, "...... Let's take a look? ”

Xi Mansha blinked and nodded slowly: "Okay, anyway, it will take an hour to grab the medicine." ”

We followed the direction of the sound into the small alley directly opposite the workers' club, and walked nearly 100 meters before we saw the parrot making a cry from the branch of an old poplar tree on the back wall of a bungalow.

"Is that what it's called?" Xi Mansha was a little incredulous: "You can hear it just now with the road?" It's too loud, right? ”

I explained, "This bird is the loudest of the cockatoos, how can I describe it, well, like the voice of the blackback." ”

She looked at me, "You know?" What kind of bird is this? ”

"It's a species from Indonesia, the salmon-crowned cockatoos, a large ornamental bird, commonly known as red sunflower." Suddenly, I frowned and raised my hand to point to the branch: "Look, it has a rope on its feet and hangs on the tree." ”

Red Kwai thin ankle tied to a rope, along the tail of the rope to the source, a wooden stick inserted in the dense branches and leaves into my sight, the stick is grass and pear, worthless, Xu is the bird owner walking the bird's tool, due to an accident, let the red sunflower drag the small stick and fly away, you know, this large bird strength is not ordinary domestic parrots can compare.

The current situation is that the rope and stick under the feet of the red sunflower are wrapped around the branches of the tree and cannot be extricated.

The red sunflower may have just discovered its dangerous situation, flapped its wings twice, did not fly, fluttered twice, and still did not work.

It screamed in panic, as if asking for help.

"Oops! It! It's entangled! Teacher Xi seemed to be more anxious than it, standing under the tree and commanding blindly: "Little thing! You fly forward! Fly up for a lap! The rope is wrapped around the tree! You have to turn it counterclockwise to unlock it! Hurry up! Fly! Forward! ”

I stopped her: "Birds are not human, and their brains are not that smart. ”

Teacher Xi was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "That! So what to do! What a poor little fellow! "She's quite caring.

I took out my phone and wallet and stuffed them into the plastic bag where she put her senior high school books, and rubbed my hands: "I'll try it." ”

The poplar trunk was not very thick, and I tightened it tightly on the tree with my hands, jumped upward, locked my hands in the air, and tried to get my shoes stuck on the protruding grimace of the trunk, and my knees clamped hard, and I climbed up with little difficulty. I'm not a sports person, so I had a bit of a hard time, but after a few minutes of hard work, I got some up.

"Hurry up and save it!" Teacher Xi pointed at the bottom: "Just the fork next to you!" Crawl over! ”

I Khan, you think I'm a monkey, can the branches hold my weight?

I touched the thick branch where the red sunflower was, thought for a moment, and reached out to break a thin fork from the poplar tree, but before I could try to untie the rope, I suddenly sank and slid down the tree with a squeak, and I didn't hurt my foot, "No, I can't hold it with one hand." ”

Teacher Xi's two fists clenched each other, "You should think of a way!" ”

Just then, the unexpected happened.

Red Aoi struggled to break free, but when she let go, she fell from the branch and hung upside down like a golden bell in the air. It fluttered its wings desperately, but it was powerless to return to the sky, but it swayed from side to side at a position that was neither high nor low from the ground, and its life hung by a thread.

Xi Mansha's face turned white, and she snatched the poplar branch from my hand that had been brushed off the leaves, and tried to reach it on her tiptoes.

I trotted into a nearby house and knocked on doors to borrow a chair, preferably a table.

But there were not many residents here, and it was hard to find a house to open the door, and when she heard my request to borrow something, the middle-aged woman shook her head and closed the door again.

In desperation, I ran back to the poplar tree.

Teacher Xi was still doing useless work, pulling his arm and pulling the branches.

"No, no, no! It's too high! Seeing that Hongkui's struggle was getting smaller and smaller, Teacher Xi hurriedly said, "It! It's dying! It's too late! Gu Jing! Come and carry the teacher! ”

"It's useless! It's better to stand tall than to carry it on your back! I smacked my lips, if I let the parrot die, the piece of Yuan Qinghua would be in the soup, and I didn't see anything to step on when I looked left and right, and I squatted in the poplar pit and patted my shoulder with my backhand: "Teacher Xi, you try to step on my shoulder." ”

"Are you okay?"

"You don't even have a hundred pounds, no problem."

Teacher Xi walked over suspiciously, looked at me, bent down and took off the light-colored flat sandals, blushed, blushing, bare little feet timidly stepped on my shoulders, holding on the trunk with both hands, a force, the right foot and the weight of the whole body pressed on me, when she swayed and stabilized her body, the red sunflower was no longer moving, as if dead, Teacher Xi exclaimed, and quickly copied the small branch to poke the entangled rope, "Little guy, you hold on for a while!" I'll save you right away! ”

She was busy saving the birds, but I couldn't tell the bitterness here.

Fang just swore that it was no problem, but the weight of less than 100 catties was on my shoulders, and I knew how heavy it was.

I didn't dare to wipe the sweat that kept coming out of my forehead, for fear that Mr. Xi would fall off because of instability, so I had to grit my teeth and persevere.

I couldn't see how Teacher Xi's bird rescue was going, Gain, her long white dress that hung almost down to the bottom of her calf put my head in it, yes, the part above my neck burrowed into Teacher Xi's skirt, and in the afterglow, the slender calves of the two white flowers were clearly visible. The temperature in the skirt was obviously higher than the outside, and there was a special feminine smell, which made my face warm unconsciously.

"Are you alright?"

"Whew! Barely able to get there! But I can't solve it! ”

"Try to pick that stick and hold it between the leaves." I subconsciously looked up at the tree, but I forgot that the top of my head was blocked, and then Xi Mansha's delicate and smooth thighs hit my eyeballs, and by the way, there was a conservative white cotton fabric between the thighs.

Belch......

My throat was a little dry, my Adam's apple was surging, and I hurriedly turned my eyes away and stopped looking.

"It's not close! It's coming, it's coming! Call! Hit the stick! Soon, Teacher Xi cheered: "It's done!" Unraveled! Oh! Gu Jing! You! How are you in my skirt!? ”

Uh, you're sluggish enough to find out?

Teacher Xi hurriedly grabbed her skirt and got off my shoulder, her face flushed like an apple, "...... The entangled circle is opened, and you can just pull it again. ”

I coughed, took the branch from her hand, jumped high, and struck the grass and pear stick, and the little stick flew up, and made a last turn around the tree, and swished, and the stick and the bird fell straight down.

"Ahh Catch it! Catch it! ”

I was afraid that it would peck me, so I didn't dare to catch it with my hands, but I just stretched out my feet in mid-air to slow down the momentum of its fall.

However, the red sunflower still had the strength to spare, fluttered a few times, and was stunned to rise into the air at the moment when it was about to land.

I quickly grabbed the grass and pear stick, and whew, it's done!
