Chapter 42: Holding on to Badness

【First Update】

"What do you mean...... She came to you to buy birds, and for what bad purpose did she buy them back? Dai Xu followed the implicit meaning of the old man's words, but felt that the old man's words seemed a little unfounded, "Did she say or do something that made you speculate?" ”

"So what do you have to say? She's going to do anything bad with me, and I'm not going to throw it out of her. The old man was still a stubborn temper, and when asked by Dai Xu, he felt that his statement seemed to be questioned, and immediately put on a straight face, and said very unhappily, "I have been in the flower and bird business for so many years, no one has ever seen it, and I normally like to buy birds, and the kind of people who don't have a good heart, as soon as she came to me, she said that she wanted to buy birds, and asked me which one was the cheapest, and I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time. Definitely not. I introduced a few to her, pondering that it is estimated that it is a bird that has never been raised, and may suddenly not know how to raise a bird, afraid that the expensive bird is squeamish, and he can't raise it well, so he wants to start with the cheap one, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing, and I can understand it, so the introduction is cheap and good-looking, and I also told her in particular, which breed is not very good-looking, but the call is particularly good, but if you don't like the bird to call, there are also varieties of bird feather color that are good-looking, and you don't like to call, like the quiet one to choose that. And guess what? ”

"She doesn't care about the breed at all, she just wants the cheapest?" Fang Yuan heard the old man say so much, and he probably guessed what was going on in his heart, so he said his guess according to his own thoughts.

The old man slapped his face and pointed at Fang Yuan: "This little girl is smart!" That's it! She told me that no matter whether she likes to call it or not, whether it looks good or not, she wants which one is the cheapest. I told her that this bird, not only the breed is not the same, the price is not the same, it is not the same male and female, the price is not the same, it depends on what she wants to buy male or female, whether to buy one or buy a pair, as a result she told me, regardless of the male and female, to the cheapest price, one breath told me to buy ten, I heard that this thing is wrong, how can anyone buy birds like this, the kind of people who need to study birds in what major, a person will not run to the flower and bird market to buy birds, And it won't be that a half-sized girl who doesn't ask about the breed, the size, the male and female, so I asked her what she was going to do when she bought the birds, and she didn't tell me, telling me that she bought and I sold, and that she didn't need to ask so much else, and it was none of my business. My temper came up at this moment, why is it none of my business, which of these birds is not my good life to serve and feed, before it is sold, it is my business, I said if you don't give me a suitable reason, why do you want to buy so many birds at once, and as long as it is cheap and nothing else, then I will not do this business, and I will definitely not sell it to you. When she heard me say this, she was quite unhappy, and told me that, I said that you little girl don't need to quarrel with me, my old man has a stubborn temper, and if he doesn't sell it, he won't sell it. She didn't have a problem with me, so she left in a huff, and then I saw her around here a few times, and if it weren't for the fact that I didn't have anyone to take care of me, I would have wanted to follow her to see what she was buying birds for! ”

"Did she buy the birds from someone else?" Dai Xu asked.

The old man nodded: "I bought it, and after she was taken away from me for the first time, she buried it from someone else's house, and as if she was angry with me, she deliberately carried a net bag for birds and walked past my door." I do business with a conscience, I think we buy and sell living things, can't be so irresponsible, but others don't think so with me, how many people sell birds just to make money, and my birds are specially bred pet birds, we don't do the kind of lack of morality that runs out of the wild to pull a big net to catch birds, the kind of birds that are caught, those who lack virtue don't care about the life or death of birds, they are worried about how to catch and sell them to make money! Some people, their conscience is really eaten by dogs, for a few money, they can't wait to catch the wild birds outside, and the little girl is that kind of person, who looks very normal, but in fact, as soon as he does things, he is holding back bad water in his bones! ”

Dai Xu thanked the old man, the information he provided was not that there was no value, the value was absolute, but because Cao Yueting did not succeed in buying birds from him, except for those signs that did not sound very reasonable, there was no way to obtain other clues, so there was no need to continue to delay here, before leaving, he asked the old man about the situation of the other shops selling birds in this market, and then Dai Ze Fangyuan and Ma Kai went to the next store to continue inquiring.

I walked through three more shops, and in the fourth shop that sold birds, the young man who watched the shop also recognized Cao Yueting.

"I know her, she came to us to buy birds twice before, the first time I bought ten, the second time I wanted to buy twenty, but we didn't have so many in the store, I still helped her go to someone else's house to borrow a few to make up a few to make up enough," the young man saw the photo, and he still had a deep impression of Cao Yueting, "I still thought at the time, I bought so many birds at once, and I couldn't buy a big bird cage or something, but I recommended the bird cage to her, and she didn't want it, I didn't feel too concerned, Who knows if it was bought for someone else or what's going on. ”

"And how long did it take for her to buy birds twice?" Dai Xu asked.

The young man pondered for a while and said, "Not long, more than a week?" ”

"Then she came to buy birds at such short intervals, and bought so many birds every time, you didn't think to ask her, what did she do when she bought birds?" Ma Kai asked, although the old man in the first house in front of him was stubborn and a little unpleasant when he spoke, but his attitude was still responsible, and now that he was here, the young man had an attitude of not asking anything, which made Ma Kai a little unaccustomed.

The young man shrugged helplessly: "Why do I ask, if people buy it back, it will belong to others, what are you doing that is also a private matter of others, I also inquired at the beginning, the woman didn't tell me, she didn't say I wouldn't be able to ask, I was a part-time worker, this store is not mine, how many shops selling birds on this street pΓΉ, I asked too much, if the customer is unhappy, he shook his hand and left, don't buy it from me, and the boss will definitely have to settle accounts with me when he knows it, and you want to, Although she only buys the cheapest birds, no matter how cheap she is, she can't stand the volume, and if she buys twenty cheap birds at once, the boss's profit is more than buying one or two medium-priced birds, so we are happy to do her kind of business. ”

"Is there anything else you're particularly impressed by?" Dai Xu asked.

The young man thought about it, and really remembered one more thing: "When she came to buy birds for the second time, she inquired with me and asked me if I knew how much the cheapest cat and dog seller on the front side of the street could have." I said I don't know, I'm selling birds here, people selling cats and dogs over there, I can't be okay sneak out and run over there to inquire about other people's business, if you want to ask, you also ask other people's birds to sell birds, but I heard that there are cheap fifty or sixty-one, and there are tens of thousands of expensive ones, but the expensive kind can be expensive, people are generally reluctant to bring it here, you have to make an appointment to see it, go to the place where people breed to see. When she heard me say this, she seemed to mumble a few words, I don't remember whether she said it was still too expensive, or whether it was not cost-effective, anyway, there was this, and it probably meant that. Oh yes, the first time she came to me and bought ten birds, and when she turned around, she went to the exit to take the bus, and I told her at the time, that's not good, the bus is crowded, and the bird is not in a cage, so it is in the net pocket, and when you get on the bus, you squeeze it, and if you don't squeeze it, you will suffocate to death. She didn't listen to persuasion at first, but then a customer who also bought birds in my store told her that she was carrying so many live birds without cages, and the bus couldn't let her go up. ”

"Aside from not buying a bird cage, did she buy anything like bird food?" After listening to the young man's words, Dai Xu pondered for a moment and asked again.

The young man shook his head: "I asked her if she wanted it, she said that she would go back and say, one person can't take it, our family's bird food is indeed a big bag, although she has a lot of strength, she is also a girl in the end, I don't want to be so tired to carry a big bag of bird food back is not abnormal, I didn't think much about it, you don't ask, I forgot about it." ”

After listening to what he said, Dai Xu suddenly became very interested in a detail he mentioned: "You say she has a lot of strength?" ”

"yes, didn't she come to buy birds twice? How do you know she has a lot of strength? Ma Kai didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but Dai Xu reacted when he asked, and then asked the young man.

The young man scratched his head: "Hey...... How did I know she had a lot of strength...... Oh! Come to think of it! The second time she came, she wanted to buy twenty birds, didn't we, we didn't have enough in the store, I went out to help her go to someone else's house to string a few over, she helped me look at the store, at that time there happened to be a customer, there was a big parrot at home, need to buy a big parrot cage, after coming to our store, I looked at the first European-style big bird cage in our store, the kind with four legs under the vertical type, especially big, oh, that's it! ”

Saying that, he pointed to a large wrought iron tall bird cage with a foot in the store: "She saw that I helped her find someone else's house to ask for a bird, so she helped someone move out the bird cage inside, not I said, the bird cage I took out alone, it was very heavy, if it was light, I couldn't stand the physique of the big parrot, but she moved out directly, I came back and heard that I was shocked, the woman didn't look very strong, and her strength was really not ordinary." ”R1152
