1. Birds of the Six Nations

Besides, since Director Qian stabbed Lou Zi at the cocktail party, he rested at home for more than a month and didn't go to work, and he was a little anxious after being idle at home for a long time, so he ran to the park alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He looked at the old men in the park, and several of them were walking the birds in the park with birdcages in their hands. He thought it was funny, and he followed behind people's butts and watched them walk the birds.

There was an old gentleman who hung a red, blue, and black painted flower and bird cage on an old willow tree with a crooked neck, and stood under the tree to fight birds. Director Qian also leaned over and asked, "Alas, old man, do your birds speak human language?"

The old gentleman looked at his bird intently, and without looking back, he said, "If a man can speak, a bird can speak." Director Qian added, "I want to buy two birds that can speak human language." The old gentleman raised his head and said to Director Qian: "There is a bird that can speak human words, and the starling bird is also a human who teaches it to speak human words!"

Director Qian and the old gentleman talked, and he said to the old gentleman: "I have heard people say in the past that parrot birds can speak human words under the training of people. The old gentleman said, "That has to be done with kung fu, as the saying goes, as long as the kung fu is true, the iron rod sharpens the embroidery needle? ”

"You're right, I know that. After Director Qian finished speaking, the old gentleman saw that the fat man wanted to buy a bird that could speak human language, so he said: "You want to buy a parrot bird that can speak human language, and I will find you a bird seller, and the parrot bird he trained can not only speak Chinese, but also English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, and six languages! A few days ago, he sold two parrot birds that can speak six languages." People call this bird the Six Nations Bird. ”

Director Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "You take me to see the man who sold the birds of the Six Nations." The old gentleman was not in a hurry, he reached out and took the birdcage from the crooked-necked willow tree, and led Director Qian forward.

The old gentleman led Director Qian along the tree-lined path and came to a small riverside garden, which was a round gate. As soon as the old gentleman entered the garden gate with the birdcage, he shouted loudly: "Old man Wang is coming out, there are guests coming to see the birds." ”

After a while, an old man with gray temples and a gray hand-knitted wool vest walked out. The old gentleman pointed to Director Qian and said to the old man Wang: "This is the buyer who bought the Six Nations Bird, you should go and take him to see the Six Nations Bird you have cultivated." ”

Old man Wang stepped forward and shook Director Qian's hand and said, "Sir, your surname?" Director Qian hurriedly replied: "My surname is Qian, and my name is Director Qian." "Oh! Hello Mr. Money. Let's go, follow me to see the birds. ”

The old man led the two into the garden, and there was a large grape trellis in the garden, and the grape trellis was full of ripe grapes, and there were many bird cages hanging on the grape trellises, and the bird cages were hung like red lanterns all over the grape trellis, and all kinds of birds were chirping in the bird cages, and the whole small garden was full of birds.

The old man led the two men to a stop in front of a bird cage hung on a grape trellis, and a pair of parrot birds were held in it. When the parrot bird saw its master coming, he learned to say, "Welcome, welcome!" Old man Wang pointed to the bird cage and said, "This pair of parrot birds is the bird of the six countries you want to see, and it can speak Chinese, English, French, German, Russian, and Japanese." ”

Director Qian glanced at the parrot bird in the birdcage, and he said to Old Man Wang, "You take off the birdcage and let me see the birds of the Six Nations." ”

Old man Wang reached out and took the birdcage from the grape shelf, he put the birdcage on a stone table, he turned to Director Qian and said, "I'll let it speak a word of English to you." Old man Wang bent down and opened his mouth and said, "good------good------good!" The parrot bird also followed its master and said, "good-----good------good!"

Director Qian smiled and said, "Your parrot bird can only speak English with its master, can this be considered a good bird?"

Old man Wang straightened up and said, "The more it follows people, it will speak English on its own." Director Qian asked, "How much is your pair of Six Nations birds worth?" Old man Wang smiled and said, "My pair of birds of the Six Nations is worth 50,000 yuan. ”

"Ahh

Old man Wang saw that Director Qian thought the birds were expensive, so he pointed to the other bird cage and said, "I will only let you pay 500 yuan for that pair of parrot birds." ”

Director Qian: "Hey, hey-------。 He smiled and said, "Why is the price difference of the parrot birds you sell so big?" Old man Wang said, "A penny, a penny!" Director Qian shook his head. Old man Wang said: "The pair of parrot birds I sold the day before yesterday, without my guidance, it spoke the Six Kingdoms dialect very fluently, and people said that the pair of parrot birds were sacred birds. ”

Director Qian asked eagerly: "Then how much did you sell?" "Guess what, you may not believe what I said, I sold it for 500,000 yuan." ”

"Oh, that's so expensive!" said the old man Wang, "Don't you see that the onions, ginger, and garlic are all fried in the market now, and my parrot birds are also fried!"
