Chapter 37: The Little Parrot
Liu Shubo threw on the trunk, clapped his hands and was about to get into the car, but when he saw Liu Shuqing walking towards the trash can, he immediately followed. "Haruko, how do you go this way?"
Liu Shuqing was concentrating all her attention on the trash can in front of her, when suddenly, she felt someone grab her hand, turned her head and saw that it was her brother, and said with a sigh of relief, "Brother, I heard a voice coming from there, as if asking for help." ”
"Let me come, you stand here. Liu Shubo said to her when he heard this, and he picked up a stick thrown on the ground and walked to the trash can.
He tentatively reached in with his stick and flicked the dead branches and leaves that covered the surface, when suddenly something plopped a few times, and a strange hoarse voice called, "Dead birds, dead birds." Both were taken aback by the movement.
Liu Shubo picked out the moving branches and debris, revealing a small fluffy green body. He stepped forward and grabbed its little paws, and lifted it upside down, "It's a little parrot." Liu Shubo raised the parrot to his eyes and observed, and said to Liu Shuqing, who stepped forward to inspect it in surprise.
"Dead birds, dead birds. The parrot fluttered its wings uncomfortably upside down, and muttered this sentence in its mouth.
"Brother, let's put it on the front lid of the car, and I'll check it for you. Liu Shuqing said to Liu Shubo with great interest, "Wait a minute, there seems to be something in the bucket." Liu Shubo rummaged through the trash can with a stick, opened a plastic bag in the bucket, and revealed a small parrot of the same color.
It's just that it was tied into a long strip by a red rope from the neck down, circle by circle, and it was half-closed at this time, not knowing whether it was dead or alive. Liu Shubo quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the car, Liu Shuqing reacted and quickly followed, "Brother put them on the hood first, I'll check them first." ”
Liu Shubo nodded and put down the two little parrots, and set his hands to untie the parrot that was entangled in the red rope, "Dead bird......" Liu Shuqing ignored the croaking sound of the parrot in his hand, and started to check it. As a result of the inspection, the wings of the first parrot were broken, and Liu Shuqing picked up a few popsicle sticks on the ground and fixed the broken wings for it.
At this time, several people who were already waiting in the car, seeing that their brothers and sisters were delayed, also got out of the car to check.
When several people got out of the car, they found that the brother and sister were busy treating the parrot's injuries. Shi Hai squeezed into the middle of the two, saw the two parrots and asked, "Could this be your brother and sister in the trash can, I said, why did the two of them stand by the trash can for so long." ”
Shi Lan touched the little parrot's little head and asked, "Qingzi, these two little guys, are they still saved?" Liu Shuqing took the time to nod and said, "There should be no big problem, the one in my hand was dropped, and the internal organs were a little injured, and I will treat it when I get home." ”
"Who is so cruel to toss the little parrot like this, so pitiful. Ning Xue looked at the little parrot lying there in her dying, and said angrily.
"It's supposed to be used as a toy. Liu Shubo said lightly. Shi Hai trotted to the tail box at the back, cleared out a cardboard box for pure water, and gave the two little parrots a temporary home.
Shi Lan sat in the back seat and said to Liu Shuqing teasingly: "Qingzi, you seem to have a good fate with animals today, buy a puppy, and pick up parrots, be careful that your home becomes a zoo." ”
"The most amazing thing is that the one with the broken wings can actually speak, so shrewd. Ning Xue said admiringly, "It's a pity, I will say 'dead bird', who do you say this taught." Shi Lan shook her head and said.
Liu Shuqing smiled, bent down and touched the little parrot in the cardboard box at her feet, and secretly crossed a trace of spiritual spring water to give the parrot who had injured her internal organs to drink, otherwise she was afraid that the little guy would not be able to hold on to the house.
Shi Hai drove to his home in the town with ease, chatting with them from time to time. After about fifteen minutes of driving, the car stopped in front of a small four-story single-courtyard building.
Shi Hai parked the car next to the alley of this building, Shi Lan jumped out of the car first, and went to the rear trunk to carry the things he and his brother bought, otherwise she would have to forget it later.
In the kitchen, Dong Jie was busy stir-frying a green vegetable, while nagging Shi Tie who was helping to serve the food, "Lao Tie, the dishes are almost ready, why haven't the children come back yet?"
Shi Tie put the dishes and chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's soon, I've explained to Shi Hai, I must be home before seven o'clock." ”
After opening the door, Shi Lan took one in one hand, pulled Liu Shuqing and Ning Xue into the house, opened her throat and shouted inside: "Mom, I brought Qingzi and brought you a guest." ”
Shi Tie heard his daughter's clear shout, and said to his wife in the kitchen, "Oh, isn't this going back." "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and put the dishes in the pot, I'll go out and have a look." When she heard the voice, she took off her apron and walked out.
Shi Tie shrugged his shoulders and resigned himself to picking up the spatula and going to the kitchen.
Entering the living room of the small building, Liu Shuqing is no stranger to the impression here, when he used to study in the town, he would come to live here when he was nervous about his studies. Then my godmother would stew some tonic soup for her to drink.
A middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen, her shoulder-length curls were tied into a ponytail and draped behind her, and her goose egg face and almond eyes were exactly the same as Shi Lan. In my memory, she has a pungent personality, but she is not the kind of unreasonable and pungent person, she is very sensible and acts according to the principle of doing things.
"Haruko, you're here, let my godmother take a good look. Dong Jie stepped forward and grabbed Liu Shuqing, glanced her up and down with concern, and took off her hat to inspect it. "Oh, you've been sinned. When she saw the injury on Liu Shuqing's head, and then thought of her young age, she was about to become a mother before she could have her own marriage, and her eyes suddenly turned red with distress.
Liu Shuqing comforted her at a loss: "Godmother, the wound on my head has healed, and my body is fine." Don't worry, I've been out for most of the day today. ”
"Godmother, why are you still red-eyed, for a while Uncle Tie thinks that we are angry with our godmother, and you can't beat us. Liu Shubo hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Dong Jie, and Qitu drew her attention.
