I Am Really Not The Great Demon King
Chapter 421
Xia Yu and Huang Gong''s questions surfaced one by one. But none of them can get a definite answer.
In the silence of the shopkeeper, other people would not speak without command. Xia Yu and one of the thirty-six land evil spirits under Duke Huang were lost in thought. When they returned to the inner courtyard of Laixi hall, a pleasant but urgent voice suddenly came.
As soon as they heard it, they knew it was the sound of birds.
Huang Gong, who has some research on bird breeding, heard the bird''s song and immediately said, "yes, a red billed thrush? It''s so worried that it can''t be sick?"
The shopkeeper, who was already in silence, was slightly stunned when he heard the words of Duke Huang''s command, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He looked at Duke Huang''s command and said, "you look so tall and burly. Unexpectedly, you have raised thrushes?"
Under the command of Lord Huang, you are speechless.
Do you look down on people who are taller than you?
It has nothing to do with whether I raise thrushes or not.
Fortunately, he didn''t study deeply, but looked at the shopkeeper and said with some concern: "isn''t it really sick? It doesn''t matter. It''s not serious. Why don''t I help you see what''s wrong with it?"
People who really love birds are very concerned when they see that birds are sick, whether they are rare species or ordinary miscellaneous birds, whether they are raised by their own family, by relatives and friends, or by strangers who meet by chance. They can''t wait to understand the condition of birds and try their best to help treat them.
Therefore, the shopkeeper was only a little stunned by the inquiry and self recommendation of Huang Gong, but he finally refused the other party''s kindness: "No, thrush was ill yesterday. During the day, it has been seen by the master of King Chen Niao. He said it''s not in the way. He hasn''t eaten or drunk for a day. He''s very weak. He took the medicine he gave him and began to eat today."
"I forgot to give it water just now. I''m probably thirsty now. Ask me for water."
Chen bird king is an old man who loves birds and is most respected and admired by bird lovers in a hundred miles.
When the old man was a teenager, it is said that he once worshipped a hermit sect. The skill script of this sect mainly focuses on controlling monsters.
King Chen Niao failed to improve his level because of his lack of talent. Finally, he was eliminated by the hidden world sect.
However, after all, he has been exposed to many Kung Fu secrets for controlling monsters.
Naturally, there is no lack of means to treat all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases of birds.
Because he almost refused to come and cured many people''s bird lovers, he was honored as the king of Chen bird by many bird lovers.
According to legend, some people have also seen King Chen bird playing a jade ridge in the mountains and forests. The ancient natural voice just remembered that the real mountains and forests were boiling.
Countless birds suddenly flapped their wings and flew out of the nest in the woods towards the direction of Chen bird king.
After arriving, they fell on the branches of the woods around the king Chen bird and stopped to listen.
Some late birds couldn''t find a place to stop. They circled and lingered directly above the head of the king of Chen bird. When they knew that the king of Chen bird had played a song, the birds gave a humanized song to the king of Chen bird, nodded their heads slightly, then waved their wings and flew away.
As a bird lover, Huang Gong didn''t need to hear much about the name and various legends of King Chen Niao, so when he heard that the other party could actually invite the disciples of King Chen Niao to do it, he couldn''t help looking at the shopkeeper in front of him with envy.
Then he opened his mouth with regret: "unfortunately, Chen bird Wang Xianyun, on the side of wild cranes, has erratic whereabouts and no fixed place. I have rarely heard from him in the past two years. Otherwise, I want to learn his skill of controlling birds when I am free."
"Others say he has..."
At this point, the look on Huang Gong''s face has become a little ugly.
When the shopkeeper heard what he said, the smile that just appeared on his face immediately disappeared. He was also very worried and said, "I have heard that his old man has been found by his enemies and has suffered an accident."
"But these are absurd nonsense. How can I believe these words?"
"With Huang Gong''s extraordinary means of controlling birds, it''s not so simple for even the brave in the realm of Qi refining to take advantage of him. I don''t believe that King Chen bird will be killed silently."
Xia Yu and others, seeing the incomparable agreement they said, dared not interrupt for fear of damaging the atmosphere.
But what they said was all in the circle of bird lovers. Xia Yu just wanted to interrupt, but they couldn''t.
For example, the Chen bird king, who is revered by them, is not only unheard of by outsiders Xia Yu, but also under the command of other Huang Gong who does not raise birds. Most of the expression on his face is like "what are they talking about? How come I don''t know anything".
It would be worthwhile for the two people to confide everything they know about the woman after they got a small box of gold ingots from the shopkeeper.
Of course, they never had extravagant expectations. The shopkeeper waved his generous hand and didn''t even want Jin Yuanbao, so he told them everything they wanted to know.
Because they know very well that it is impossible to kill the shopkeeper even if he is so greedy.
In this regard, Xia Yu and others know so well that they naturally dare not expect.
Then, when the harmonious atmosphere became stronger and stronger, and they almost began to call each other brothers, the shopkeeper suddenly looked at Huang Gong''s command and Xia Yu and others opposite with an apologetic face and said, "I''m sorry, everyone. My thrush has urged me just now and is waiting for me to add water to him."
"It has just recovered from a serious illness and can''t last long. Please wait a moment. After I add water to the thrush, let''s talk about our affairs?"
"After all, our business is not in a few words. It can be said clearly, can''t it?"
The people heard what he said was reasonable, and now the atmosphere between them is not easy. They don''t want to destroy the relationship between the two sides because of such a small thing, so Xia Yu and Huang Gong looked at each other, nodded and agreed.
Seeing that the people had no objection, the shopkeeper saluted them and said, "please come back in a moment."
With that, the shopkeeper moved his two short legs with great dexterity and lightness, and hurried to his backyard. It seemed that he was afraid that if he went half a step late, the thrush would die of thirst.
Huang Gong''s bird lover looked at the shopkeeper''s hurried steps, and his face softened a lot. He smiled faintly and said, "sure enough, everyone has his lovely place."
The others listened to his words and smiled knowingly. Even Xia Yu looked at each other''s far away back, slightly pursed the corners of his mouth, and showed a faint smile. He thought to himself: "unexpectedly, the shopkeeper''s miser who is addicted to money and dares to work hard with people for a penny will sincerely like other lives except himself!"
"Seeing the shopkeeper take care of his own thrush bird before and after work, it really makes people feel that he is a man and has some merits."
But on the other hand, Xia Yu is worried that after the shopkeeper leaves, he will run away and never show up again. In that way, Xia Yu''s most critical clue will really be broken.
On other faces, there was also a touch of light worry.
Only the bird lovers under Huang Gong''s command believed each other very much and said confidently, "don''t worry, bird lovers may deceive you and fool you with all kinds of lies, but they won''t use their own bird love as a reason to deceive you."
Everyone was skeptical. Although they were skeptical, they didn''t act to refute.
The shopkeeper really seems to be a qualified bird lover.
As he agreed with everyone.
He just left for a moment.
Then his figure appeared again from the wing room in the backyard and walked towards the people.
I just don''t know why.
The people looked at the expression on his face and seemed to be wrong.
His legs moving under his feet are also somewhat different from before.
The previous shopkeeper was quick and quick in action and walked like the wind. He would never disgrace the title of flexible fat man. But now, the shopkeeper''s legs seem to be suddenly tied with sandbags and filled with lead, becoming heavy and slow.
Moreover, his attention was obviously a little distracted. When he came in from the door, he tripped directly on the threshold. If Huang Gong''s command didn''t see his face wrong, he would have met him and held him, he might have fallen directly to the ground.
Looking at the shopkeeper''s face, Huang Gong immediately asked, "are you all right, shopkeeper?"
"Your face looks..."
Hearing the inquiry from Huang Gong, the shopkeeper seemed to want to twist his mouth and smile at Huang Gong, but he didn''t succeed. In other words, he did so, but the smile on his face was more ugly than crying.
I only heard him say in a very hoarse and depressed tone, "is my face ugly?"
As he said this, he couldn''t help wiping his face, and then said with a bitter smile, "if it were you, it wouldn''t be different from me."
