CH.18 Is a Parrot an Eyewitness? (ENDS)
Tick tock...... The sound of the restaurant hands moving is so clear that if someone drops a needle at this time, the sound of landing is absolutely visible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It was as quiet as three or four o'clock in the morning, and everyone at the table was very silent in a tacit manner, chewing food was soft, and the atmosphere was very strange.
Seeing everyone so restrained, Fengchen knew that it was because he had a quarrel with Meng Ying just now, and he took the responsibility for what he did wrong, and took the initiative to break the silence;
"Hahaha...... What are you doing here, are you acting in mime? No, there are still voices of mime eating. Eat it, if you want to live together for so long in the future, are you going to live like this?
Ah~ Such a rich meal, I drooled when I looked at it, I haven't eaten a big meal in months, I started".
Then there was a fierce noise of bowls and chopsticks colliding, destroying the quiet atmosphere, Fengchen was really unceremoniously eating, a chopstick in the east, a clip in the west, and the dishes in the bowl were piled up.
"Wind boy, how long has it been since you eaten, can you be subtle in your appearance?" Sun Jingyue retrieved a chicken leg from the clutches of the wind and dust demon, and was the first to echo him to relieve the oppressive atmosphere.
With food in his mouth, he slurred his words and said, "I'm not a girl, why do you eat so carefully?" I haven't touched this kind of luxurious meal for almost three months, and I've been eating fast food."
Sun Jingyue made a look of disgust and asked curiously: "This will make you sick, can't you cook and eat by yourself?" No matter how bad you are, you can go out to eat, and you don't lack that money."
"Well, you don't understand, I'm experiencing life, perceiving that money is not easy to come by, and carrying forward the virtue of frugality," Fengchen replied with some weakness.
"I think it's lazy and advanced cancer, don't say it's so high-sounding, lazy is lazy, this is a common disease of rich sons, it's normal." Unceremoniously said the secret that Fengchen wanted to hide, especially the four words 'rich son', Mengying bit her long voice and looked at Fengchen with disdain.
Hearing this, Fengchen, who was eating, paused for a while, did not make any arguments, and continued to eat, but the noise of his eating was obviously faster and louder, and he wanted to hide something.
When a discerning person looks at it, he knows that Meng Ying is right; Sun Jingyue frowned, and said earnestly: "Wind boy, don't learn from those gentlemen, otherwise I will beat you once I see you." You must know that your father's difficulties and embarrassments before his development were relied on by his unremitting efforts and struggles to get you the superhuman life you have today, and you can't live up to your parents' hardships."
"I'm not so wasteful, I'm just a little lazy, and the rest of the things are of good character, Aunt Sun, you're too worried, don't worry, if I'm really that kind of gentleman, it is estimated that the two of my family will directly dismantle me, and then study it slowly." After eating, he picked up the water cup in front of him casually and explained while pouring the water.
Hearing Fengchen's answer, Sun Jingyue pursed her lips and smiled: "That's good; However, do you have such a big opinion about your parents that you would think that they would tear you down, and the tiger poison will not eat the child! ā
Then the topic changed: "It's not a way to eat fast food all the time, sooner or later you will have a problem eating...... Why don't you do that, I'll cook for you every morning, noon and evening! ā
"Poof~", just containing the water in the mouth uncontrollably sprayed out, fortunately there was no one on the other side, Fengchen patted his chest and coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "This...... No need, I'm already a college student, and I can eat school meals in the future, Aunt Sun is so busy, how can I bear to let you take time out of your busy schedule to take care of me! ā
"You don't seem to be a boarding student at school, what do you eat in the morning and evening? For the sake of your health, Aunt Sun's morning and evening leave have been approved", Meng Ying interjected inappropriately.
"By the way, let's get into tonight's main topic - that is, the secret of Xiao Green", Fengchen said suddenly.
Regarding his transfer topic, Meng Ying is also indisputable, she has long wanted to wait to see Fengchen's reasoning, and she doesn't know the reason.
Seeing that the success had passed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glanced at Meng Ying, and said loudly: "I don't know if anyone present knows about the moon parrot?" ā
Everyone shook their heads, how could people who don't keep parrots know about parrots!? The Cheng sisters only buy feed to feed the parrots, and do not learn too much about the breeds and habits of parrots.
After getting everyone's response, he began to popularize the parrot encyclopedia: "The moon parrot is just a relatively nice scientific name, and it has more scientific names, so I won't list them in detail."
This parrot has a green head for males, a bluish pillow, a dark grass-green upper body, and a lower body of the same color as the upper body but lighter. The base of the neck has a wide band of pink that wraps around the back and sides of the neck; There is a semi-circular black tie that wraps around the front of the neck to the side of the neck. The female has a green head all over. It mainly inhabits open forests in the foothills, as well as in villages, farmlands, and township gardens. Feeds on plant fruits and seeds, as well as grains and other shrub berries, flowers, nectar, etc. ā
Meng Ying asked seriously, "What does this have to do with Xiao Lu's abnormality?" ā
Ignoring Meng Ying, she continued to popularize: "Generally, this small parrot can survive for 10~20 years without any accidents in the wild, while the average lifespan of parrots in captivity is 5~10 years.
A parrot in captivity, can not fly, the activity space is very narrow, there is no sense of worry, there is no companion, most of the breeders are fed in the wrong way, the air humidity and temperature are seriously unadaptable, resulting in a greatly reduced final lifespan.
And according to my observations today, I can be sure that Little Green doesn't have long to live. ā
"What, Xiao Lu is dying......", Cheng Ping said with some frustration.
He took out the parrot cage from under the table, placed it on the table, and made the point: "What makes me strange is that there is not even a person in this house who can raise parrots; With the conditions of the dreamer, it stands to reason that it should be possible to keep the life of the little green in the wild.
But this parrot has only lived for 14 years now, so Xiao Lu should be kept in the wild conditions to feed in the early stage, and the wrong feeding method only appeared in the later stage, after listening to Steward Hu's introduction to all the members of the Dream Family, I understood who the owner of this parrot was."
At this time, there was a plate of corn berries and other crops on the table, a plate of high-grade feed, but Xiao Midori pecked at the corn berries, ignoring the artificial feed.
"That's right, Master Dream should be the real owner of this parrot, and the only one who understands parrots, and why hasn't he continued to feed it recently? Is it because I went to relax?
No, absolutely impossible, because how could a person who knows so deeply about loving a parrot leave it alone to relax? And this distraction is too long, judging from the life span of the little green, it should have been about 4 years, is this normal? ā
Meng Ying had a bad premonition, her heart tensed, and she asked with a pale face, "What do you want to say?" ā
Fengchen's eyes moved to Meng Ying, and said heavily: "When I first walked into this house, I noticed the discord when I first stepped into this house, although the home scene was arranged the same as the old man's house, but there was no trace of the old man living there, and it has been maintained for a long time.
The parrot is a spiritual bird, and a captive parrot will be particularly obsessed with its first approved owner, which is why you think that Midori is not easy to approach. ā
Then he looked at Sun Jingyue and said: "I learned from Aunt Sun today that the probationary time required by Steward Hu is from nine o'clock in the morning to zero o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Lu's two times to catch the thief are around two or three o'clock in the morning, and once at zero o'clock in the morning, that is, this time when Meng Ying came back, they all have one thing in common - they both got up in the middle of the night and drank a glass of water.
This is the reason why Xiao Lu screamed abnormally, I don't know the details, please tell Steward Hu about it!
It may be a little brutal, but that's what you want. Steward Hu, don't hesitate, say it", his eyes swept over the two of them, and he said sharply.
Steward Hu looked at Meng Ying, whose emotions were already a little out of control, and said tremblingly: "Four years ago, the master went to review his condition as usual, and everything was harmonious and beautiful, but bad luck befell that night.
Probably because of the troubled illness, the old man was thirsty that night and came to the living room to drink water, but unexpectedly...... Suck ~ woo woo ...... Bumped into a thief who infiltrated the house, the master and the thief fought, and finally unfortunately was killed... By...... At that time, the clock rang at zero o'clock,
By the time I heard the noise, the thieves had already fled, leaving the old man lying on the ground dying, and by the time he was taken to the hospital, there was no help. Midori was very excited at the time, and kept shouting, 'Catch the thief, catch the thief';
It's me who is not good, I failed to protect the master, it is my ...... that is not good. In the end, he burst into tears.
"Don't say it, don't say it, it's not true, it's a dream, it's a dream - why didn't anyone tell me at the time, why didn't anyone tell me, why ......" her conjecture was confirmed, she couldn't accept it, and her sharp and hoarse cry was so bitter, as if she had been soaked in Coptis water.
"This is the arrangement of Young Master Meng, Miss and Master have been dependent on each other since childhood, I am afraid that Miss will be sad, so I asked me to hide Miss first, and wait until the Young Master comes back to tell Miss the truth", Steward Hu hugged his head and cried, his voice was poignant, like someone blowing into a rusty pipe.
"All the clues I've gotten point to the fact that Master Dream is dead. Many years later, as you got up in the middle of the night to drink water, it stirred up the deep memories of Xiaolu, and when the bell rang in the early morning, you repeated the thief of the year.
This is the reason why Steward Hu misled me everywhere, and it is also the reason why Aunt Sun directly passed the application today, because I am afraid that the same situation will happen to Xiaolu again and I will see the clues", endured the warmth in the corners of his eyes, and fulfilled his duties as a detective.
Crying, crying all over the room. Meng Ying was crying loudly, only hearing a voice calling grandpa, and not shouting anything else. Sun Jingyue covered her nose and sobbed, feeling sad for Mengying, although there was a voice, the atmosphere was even more depressing than just now.
Fengchen had no sound, Meng Ying's mournful cry ticked his heart, and there were bursts of throbbing pain, pulling Meng Ying, who was walking out of despair, and said in a muffled voice: "Meng Ying, cheer up, your appearance is the source of Steward Hu and your father dare not tell you the truth, are you just so disappointed by Steward Hu who told you the truth?"
Don't forget, didn't your promise in the kitchen say that you can cheer up any blow? ā
Meng Ying stopped struggling, her whole body twitched, and a suppressed, painful sobbing sound, as if it was pulled out of the depths of her soul with difficulty, scattered throughout the room, weaving a dark blue sorrow. The lights also became hazy and dim.
She threw herself into Fengchen's arms, her body twitching. Fengchen patted her on the back, silently comforting.
That day was the first time Fengchen saw her crying, and it was also the last time, until the person who killed the dream master was found out......
At this time, silence is better than sound, and crying has become the main song......
PS: I feel that this incident is extremely lame, but the plot has been paved, and it will definitely be better in the future!
