The maid Xiaocui followed closely beside her, and was surprised when she saw this: "Why doesn't it take care of Madame?"

"yes, that's weird. Lady Bailing muttered, "It looks a bit like a crow, but it's not a crow." Where is there such a huge one. Look at the way its wings hang upside down, hey, it doesn't look like a crow. If the hair on the body has not fallen out, it is easier to judge. ”

Xiao Cui, with a round face, stretched out a thin bamboo pole and pointed against the big sun to sleep on the head of the old bird, and then poked its belly, trying to wake up the bird. But no matter how much it hits, the bird just won't open its eyes.

"Hey, wake up, our lady is talking to you. What the hell are you?"

The old black bird violently popped out its head, which was smaller than its body, opened its beak, and almost pecked at Xiao Cui.

"Oh, dare you bite me?" Xiao Cui came up angrily, and hit the bird on the back with a thin bamboo pole.

Lady Bailing hurriedly stopped her rather rude move: "Xiao Cui, don't disturb it. As he spoke, he subconsciously touched his purse, but only grabbed a hand of vanilla. Only then did she realize that the noblewomen of Jun'an City only put spices in their purses, and the corn used to feed the birds could no longer be carried with them. Now, she could not comfort the beaten bird, nor could she get closer to it.

Xiao Cui didn't notice Mrs. Bailing's loneliness for a moment. The little girl pursed her lips, put on a condescending attitude at the bird, and pointed at it: "What kind of broken bird is this?

Mrs. Bailing couldn't listen to it, so she told her not to be impatient, stepped forward and observed it carefully for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that it is really not a common bird in Jiuding Kingdom." Why didn't you ignore me? I heard a chirp just now, as if it was calling someone. I thought it was calling me. ”

"Madame, are you sure it's the voice here?, how did Xiao Cui think that this bird was mute? ”

Lady Bailing thought carefully: "I only heard a scream, and it was not accurate. But it really didn't seem to be any kind of bird I'd ever heard. ”

There were few people around the bird's trellis in the depths of the courtyard, and Mrs. Bailing was not annoyed by the nameless bird with a foul temper, so she waited quietly, and kept changing various methods, or rubbing between the teeth, or using the ribcage to make a sound, and asked it in a tone that the Oriental bird could almost understand: "You ignore me, why did you call me here in the first place? I should have heard me right, you are calling for help." I'm here now. If you say something, I just need to listen to it, and I can make a few sounds, and I can learn your language very quickly. ”

The old black bird's wings moved, and his head was lifted slightly from his wings.

Xiao Cui shouted in surprise: "It's moving, it's moving!"

Mrs. Bailing hurriedly pulled Xiao Cui, who was about to rush forward: "Shhh, don't scare it." Then he waited, expecting it to say something.

Who knew that the old bird actually had no intention of communicating with her, and the reason why he moved and raised his head was to open his eyes slightly, annoying her, and he looked at her viciously, with a look of disgust, and expressed his dissatisfaction with "Gollum".

However, this is what Lady Bailing needs.

She was overjoyed in her heart, the old black bird ignored her, even if she knew the pronunciation of the bird language of Jiuding country, she didn't know which one was used by the old black bird, she could only rely on the breath in the abdomen and the different vocal parts of the tooth and tongue and the throat, one by one, one by one, okay, with its only purr, Mrs. Bailing, who is very sensitive to the sound of birds, immediately judged the sound pattern of the birds.

The language of birds is not as complex as human language, she is as talented and intelligent as Mrs. Bailing, and she has mastered all the nine languages common to each of the Jiuding countries, not to mention the language of birds. Based on the vocal position and pitch and rhythm of that "grunt", she immediately judged and figured out five or six points. It's a pity that there is no corn to feed it in hand, otherwise try to lure Duoduo to talk, and you can find out the bird's speech pattern more quickly. She plucked a leaf from a branch and teased it. It's okay for the old black bird to vent his temper.

It's a pity that in this contest, Lady Bailing never had the upper hand.

The bird is very itchy by the leaves, but it knows human nature, it has lived so long, how many years longer than the female doll in front of her, and she can't see her careful thoughts at a glance, how can she succeed. The bird simply turned around, folded its wings, and squinted away with its back to her, too lazy to respond, and said nothing. It has rough skin and thick flesh on its back, and it is not prone to itching.

Mrs. Bailing, who almost succeeded, tugged at its wings, with some grievances, and complained in a low voice: "You can say a word to me again." ”

Xiao Cui was very surprised: "Madam, can you really understand what it says?

Lady Bailing thought for a moment: "It seems to be from the east." But I still don't know. I'm afraid I don't understand what it says. I don't know if it can understand what I'm saying. ”

Xiao Cui was very angry at the disdainful demeanor of the aging bird, and let out a series of anger for her master: "Hmph! This broken bird is so bad that he pretends not to understand." You are naturally good at understanding bird speech, you can understand the speech of birds, and you are very good at imitating the sounds of birds, and when you show your singing voice, even the lark lark that soars into the sky is much inferior. This bird must understand. I obviously saw that its head was still turning just now, and it called out, obviously deliberately ignoring us. ”

Lady Bailing hurriedly said, "Don't hit it." Do you want to talk to me, it's its freedom, why force it?"

Xiao Cui turned to the back of the shelf, trying to pull out the bird's head from the wings, but the old black bird worked against Xiao Cui, wrapping himself into a meatball that people couldn't start, Xiao Cui didn't see where the bird's head was hidden for a long time.

At this time, she was even more angry: "My wife is a genius, that is absolutely undoubted." She has known many kinds of flying birds since she was a child, and she can almost never forget them, and she can clearly distinguish between male and female chicks, and she can see the difference between gray magpies and magpies at a glance. It's clearly the old meat roasted in the stove, and it can't be chewed. ”

Mrs. Bailing hurriedly said, "Xiao Cui, why are you talking so impolitely. ”

"What kind of politeness is it to talk to a broken bird. ”

"Not to mention that this bird has a very high self-esteem, I am afraid that the breed is rare and a treasure, and if you reprimand and scold it like this, it may not understand it, and it is really impolite. Besides, this is the Taishi Mansion, we are invited guests, and the birds that can be raised in the mansion must be selected by the first class, but we can't talk nonsense by temperament. Lady Bailing sighed leisurely.

She has always been secretly complacent, thinking that she knows almost all the birds in Jiuding Kingdom, where did she think that today in the Taishi Mansion, she was completely blinded: "Why don't we go and consult Mrs. Taishi now." Don't bother with it. ”
