Chapter 47: Parroting
"Chen Wazi? Open the door, it's me. Li Zheng shouted loudly outside Chen Guanjia's door, and at the same time slapped the door hard.
Shen Lian and the others saw that Chen Guanjia's courtyard wall was not high, it was made of mud and stones, and the courtyard gate was simple, which could only play the role of preventing gentlemen and villains.
"Chen Wazi?" Li Zheng listened to the silence inside, and shouted a few more times.
Squeak~~
There was a sound of the door opening in the courtyard, and then the dilapidated wooden door was opened, and a yellow-faced and thin boy stood inside the door, his eyes empty and devoid.
"Lizheng? How did you get here? Chen Guanjia got out of the way and invited Li Zheng, Shen Lian and the others into the door.
The layout of the courtyard is simple, with a well, a table, and a wooden drying rack.
"Who are these bad masters?" Chen Guanjia stared at Shen Lian and the others a little nervously.
"Oh, the poor master is here to deal with the demon birds, you don't have to be afraid." Rizheng explained.
"Really?" When Chen Guanjia heard this, his face suddenly became happy, and he immediately said to Shen Lian and the others: "A few poor masters are aware of everything, and they must return the villain's innocence, the villain is just a scholar, not a monster." ”
At this time, Yu Jingting took the initiative to step forward, and a pair of beautiful eyes came to Chen Guanjia to carefully observe the other party's pupils.
Due to the close distance, Chen Guanjia felt the heat exhaled by Yu Jingting, smelled the fragrance on her body, and felt a little uneasy.
"Whether it's a human or a demon, you can know it at a time." Yu Jingting turned her head to look at Shen Lian and asked, "Do you do it or will I come?" ”
"I'll do it." Jin Yuze slowly walked towards Chen Guanjia and took out a copper bell from his cuff, the size of an egg.
Zhou Tianlu followed closely, clenching the steel whip with both hands, his eyes were vigilant, and he was ready to strike at any time.
Shen Lian saw the actions of the two in his eyes and nodded slightly.
has been a partner for a long time, and the cooperation is tacit.
Jin Yuze stood still in front of Chen Guanjia and glanced at Zhou Tianlu, who nodded slightly.
"Jingle Bell~"
Jin Yuze gently shook the copper bell around Chen Guanjia, staring at each other with his eyes and carefully observing his reaction.
"Jingle Bell~"
"Jingle Bell~"
After turning around a few times, Jin Yuze took back the copper bell, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "He's not a monster." ”
"How so?" Shen Lian asked.
"Hehe, my copper bell is called the Demon Bell, it is a magic weapon created by Qin Tianjian, if the demon clan hears the bell, it will have a splitting headache, but he has no reaction, it is enough to prove it." Jin Yuze said with confidence.
"Whew~~" Li Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, gentlemen, for restoring my innocence." Chen Guanjia looked excited.
At this time, Shen Lian heard a fluttering sound in the air above his head, and looked up to see a small bird hovering over the courtyard.
The feathers are red, red, green, and green, and they are very beautiful.
"Guanjia Chen is a monster!"
"Guanjia Chen is a monster!"
"Guanjia Chen is a monster!"
"It's this bird that hurt me!" Chen Guanjia shouted angrily, picked up a stone from the yard and threw it hard.
The demon bird was nimble, easily dodged, circled in the air, and then swooped down sharply and landed on Chen Guanjia's head.
The little paws kept tearing, making Chen Guanjia's already messy hair more like a chicken nest.
Yu Jingting raised her eyebrows, and the silver moon spear in her hand quickly attacked, and the head of the spear hit the demon bird, knocking it to the ground.
Then she stepped forward with an arrow and took the demon bird in her hand.
Just now, she controlled the strength, and the demon bird was just knocked down, not injured, and at this time, she fluttered her wings in her hands and shouted: "Chen Guanjia is a monster!" Chen Guanjia is a monster! ”
Shen Lian stepped forward to take a look, and immediately couldn't help laughing.
Good fellow, sure enough, a parrot.
"It's an ordinary little bird, named Parrot." Shen Lian blurted out.
"Parrots?" Yu Jingting looked curious, "I've never heard of this kind of bird." ”
"I know, I've seen it in books before." Zhou Tianlu, who didn't speak much, suddenly exclaimed: "There are birds in the extreme south of Dayu, colorful colors, and human language, is this what you are talking about?" ”
"You can't be wrong, that's it." Shen Lian nodded, "But for the sake of safety, let's let Yu Ze test it." ”
Jin Yuze nodded, took out the demon bell, stepped forward, and shook it next to the parrot.
"Guanjia Chen is a monster!"
"Guanjia Chen is a monster!"
“...........”
Retracting the demon bell, Jin Yuze confirmed, "It's just an ordinary bird, not a demon clan." ”
It turned out to be an oolong.......
Shen Lian asked Li Zheng to find a small birdcage and put the parrot in it.
"Thank you, gentlemen." At the head of the village, Li Zheng and Chen Guanjia sent Shen Lian and others away.
"You don't have to be polite, it is the duty of the imperial court to solve problems for the people." Shen Lian stood outside the car and said to the two, "If it's okay, we'll leave." ”
"Congratulations, sir." Li is bending down with his hands folded and saluting respectfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly said while Shen Lian hadn't gotten into the car yet: "Lord Shen stayed, the villain suddenly remembered one thing, I wonder if the adult can check it?" ”
"What?" Shen Lian asked.
"A while ago, several miners in the village went into the mountains to mine, and they never came out, I organized the villagers to go into the mountains to look for them, but they didn't see anyone alive, they couldn't see the corpses dead, can Lord Shen help investigate, was it taken away by monsters? I also want to give an account to their families. Li said with a serious face.
"You didn't report to the officer?" At this time, Yu Jingting walked out of the carriage and came to Li Zheng's side and said.
"It's reported, the county government doesn't care." Li Zheng's tone was quite helpless.
No one alive, no corpse dead?
This thing is indeed a bit strange, destroying the corpse and destroying the traces?
Shen Lian and Yu Jingting glanced at each other, then looked at the sky that had gradually darkened, groaned slightly, and said, "It's getting late today, tomorrow morning, let's go into the mountain to have a look?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Jingting and asked for her opinion.
"Okay, let's go to the county to find an inn, we don't have to rush tomorrow."
"A few adults don't have to be so troublesome, if you don't dislike it, live in our village, and let me do my landlord's friendship." Li Zheng said very enthusiastically.
Live here?
Shen Lian had no experience in this area, and this matter needed to be decided by Yu Jingting and Jin Yuze.
At this time, the parrot in the cage began to snort again.
"Guanjia Chen is a monster!"
"Guanjia Chen is a monster!"
Suddenly, a question flashed through Shen Lian's mind.
Parroting, parroting, it itself does not speak, but only learns the words of the humans around it.
It is inferred that the sentence that Chen Guanjia is a monster was learned by a parrot.
According to the biological distribution law of Dayu, the parrot is located in the extreme south, and it is impossible for it to fly to the capital by traveling thousands of miles by itself, and it must have been brought by someone.
Some rich kids are particularly fond of this kind of strange thing.
"Li Zheng, has anyone in your village ever been to the southern region of Dayu?" Shen Lian suddenly asked.
"Of course there is, Zhang Yuanwai is a little expert in our village to get rich, his family has a lot of money, and I heard that he went to Jiaozhou to do business a few months ago." Li Zheng said with great envy.
After hearing this, Shen Lian's brows couldn't help frowning.
Jiaozhou, the southernmost area of Dayu, it is normal to buy a parrot and bring it back.
"Let's go to Zhang Yuanwai's house to have a look." Shen Lian said categorically.
