Chapter 271 The man chained up
Xu Muhua was shocked when she saw this.
Although they were just two little birds, they had been together for so long that they had developed feelings for each other. Moreover, they were psychic, so they could not be treated like ordinary little birds.
Seeing them like this, Xu Muhua was really worried. She wondered if they were in danger.
However, she did not ask in a hurry, but turned around and hurriedly took some millet crumbs and corn crumbs and scattered them on the table. After a look, she brought a bowl of water.
The two birds devoured the food, wishing they could swallow all the rice and corn crumbs scattered on the table in one gulp!
Xu Muhua was frightened when she saw this, "Slow down, be careful not to choke!"
If they choked, she would not be able to save them with the Heimlich maneuver.
Big Spot and Little Spot were busy eating and had no time to pay attention to her.
The two brothers were concentrating on eating, which made Xu Muhua wonder if they had not eaten for a few days before they did the work for her.
She couldn't help but reflect on whether she was too careless and forgot to feed them when they went to check the news.
Guilty!
Seeing that they were really hungry, Xu Muhua had to wait patiently for them to finish eating.
After a long time, the two birds finally stopped and drank the water.
Xu Muhua even wondered if she saw the two brothers burping!
"Do you want more?"
she asked.
Little Spot shook his head, "No, I'm full!"
After saying that, he straightened his round belly.
The belly was furry and cute, so Xu Muhua couldn't help but stretch out his index finger and touch it gently.
Xiaoban didn't dodge and let her touch him.
"Yeah, it feels like I'm full."
"Touch my belly too!"
Daban also squeezed over with his bulging belly.
Since he was her big brother, Xiaoban didn't bother with him.
Xu Muhua followed suit and touched Daban's belly. It was also bulging.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so hungry? Have you not eaten for a few days?"
As soon as she asked, Xiaoban answered anxiously: "No! We were full before we came to your place that day!"
Xu Muhua looked at him suspiciously.
Big Spot answered quickly, "Didn't you ask us to go to the Princess's Mansion and the Ling Mansion to inquire about the news? We thought it wouldn't take much time to get the news. Unexpectedly..."
Little Spot interrupted impatiently, "Unexpectedly, the Princess's Mansion is so good, there is nothing to inquire about. The Princess is just looking at a man's portrait in the study and bedroom every day. She cries and laughs. It's scary! But the Ling Mansion is different!"
Xu Muhua felt something was up and asked anxiously, "How is it different?"
When it came to this, Little Spot calmed down, "No hurry, let me figure out what to say first."
Big Spot glanced at it, but as an elder brother, it is also his duty to love his younger brother. It won't argue with it, and won't tear it down.
Xu Muhua's mouth twitched.
Why does it feel like Little Spot is teasing her appetite?
This bird is getting more and more clever!
"It's like this. You asked us to get some information that day. We went to the Princess's Mansion first, and as we said just now, there was nothing to see. After we were sure that there was nothing worth our two brothers wasting time on, we flew to the Ling Mansion."
"At first, the Ling Mansion looked normal, and we were all ready to leave. Who knew!"
At this point, Xiaoban was stunned again. She stared at Xu Muhua with her eyes as big as green beans, as if hinting at something.
Xu Muhua: "..."
She immediately pretended to be very anxious, and asked curiously: "Then what? What happened?"
Well, her anxious look greatly satisfied Xiaoban's desire to express himself, and his bird's head was raised high.
Daban looked at his brother expressionlessly. With its head raised so high, isn't it worried that it will fall backwards accidentally? The center of gravity is unstable!
"Hurry up and tell me, I'm so anxious!"
Xu Muhua acted so enthusiastically and realistically!
Daban felt that he couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he took over the baton and said, "Who knew that when we wanted to fly away, we didn't pay attention and flew to a very remote yard, and found a dishevelled man chained inside!"
Xiaoban was a little unhappy that his big brother had taken away his highlight moment, but this was his big brother, what could he do?
He could only wait for him to finish speaking and then take it back!
It jumped in front of Daban, "Yes, yes, a man with dirty and old clothes. His hair was like straw dried by the wind, messy, and we couldn't see what he looked like! The key is that he was locked with a long iron chain!"
"Also, this man can't speak!"
Daban added: "It's not that he can't speak, but that he can't speak!"
Can't and can't are two completely different concepts!
Can't means not understanding, not knowing how to say it, and there are many reasons for can't. It may be that there is no way to speak, or it may be that someone forces him not to speak.
"I think there's something wrong with this person's throat or mouth. Xiaoban and I heard some ahhh and mmmmm sounds."
Xu Muhua thought it was a little strange, "Could it be that someone cut off this person's tongue?"
He could still make sounds, which proved that his vocal cords were fine. If he couldn't speak, it was most likely a problem with his tongue. Without a tongue, he could make sounds, but it would be almost impossible to speak normally, and he could only make some unclear sounds.
"We don't know either! After we found this man, we thought he was a little strange, so we just stood by. No one came, and after a day, we saw an old servant coming to deliver food. The food was inedible and all rotten!"
"We tried to fly over, but the man seemed stupid and didn't respond. He just sat there. Then we went to find our companions to see if we could get anything out of him."
Xu Muhua immediately asked, "Did you find out anything?"
"We found out that the man had been locked up in that remote yard for many years. The bird itself didn't know how many years it had been! It said that it saw the man there after it grew up, and its parents also said that the man was there when they came over."
Seeing that it had been talking for a long time without getting to the point, Daban pushed it aside and told the main point: "Later, we found a turtle in an abandoned well in that yard. The turtle told us that the man chained up was a master of the Ling Mansion."
Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment, "Ah? The master of the Ling Mansion?"
"So we looked around and found that the masters of the Ling Mansion seemed to be still alive, of course, except for the old man who had passed away a long time ago. There was only one who died young."
