The little bird stared at him with its bright, beady eyes. Its round body felt a little heavy in his palm, but even more so, it was soft and warm.
Yuandan is a clean little bird, so its pink feathers were not covered in mud. Only its delicate feet were wet with dew and had a few bamboo leaves stuck to them.
Xiao Changqi turned the little bird over, plucked a bamboo leaf from under its feet, and casually held it in his hand to tease the bird: "Do you know how much silver a bamboo seed costs?"
New Year's Day: "Chirp?"
How many?
"One bamboo seed can buy at least ten birds like you," said the carefree Gan Wang casually, trying to scare the little bird in his hand.
New Year:"……"
Yuan Dan rolled her eyes inwardly. Bamboo seeds are precious, but in modern times, a pound of bamboo seeds is worth at most a few hundred yuan, which is equivalent to a few taels of silver.
For wealthy families, buying a small bird could cost anywhere from a few taels of silver to a fortune.
Not to mention a bird with such rare plumage as her.
Having calculated everything meticulously, Yuan Dan confidently bargained with the man: "Chirp chirp chirp."
I didn't eat your bamboo seeds for nothing.
Yuandan looked down at its thick feathers, hesitated for a few seconds, and then plucked the one with the best color.
Actually, she thought every single pink feather on her outfit was beautiful.
However, to show her sincerity, she felt it was necessary to categorize her fur into different grades.
"Chirp chirp." Yuan Dan then flicked the plucked feather away.
The meaning is clear: I'm not going to eat and drink your food for free, how about an exchange?
Xiao Changqi: "..."
Xiao Changqi was almost laughing in anger, and poked the chubby little bird's head with a bit more force: "You cunning little bird."
"Chirp chirp chirp!!" Yuandan chirped loudly, pointing at the man with her wingtip, and then at the feather she had just plucked.
So, are you going to change it or not?
Xiao Changqi sneered: "What would I do with your feathers?"
"Chirp?" Yuan Dan seemed a little unsure.
Why don't you try using it to make a craft?
Yuandan knew her feathers weren't worth much, but she really couldn't find anything to trade with a man now.
And so, Xiao Changqi watched as the little bird visibly wilted, its small wings drooping into its thick feathers.
Xiao Changqi frowned, for some reason he didn't want to see the little bird sad and upset.
That's how it was before.
As soon as the little pink ball shed golden tears, he no longer doubted that it was a spy sent in by someone else.
A few dark and unfathomable coldness appeared in Xiao Changqi's eyes as he reached out and stroked the little bird's soft feathers: "You really are a little devil."
Yuan Dan looked up at him with a resentful expression, as if to say: Have you ever seen a fairy who can't transform, can't speak, and doesn't even have magic?
Xiao Changqi ignored her lingering gaze and looked up at the bamboo stalk that the bird had been pecking at before he arrived. Sure enough, he saw a green bamboo seed.
"Can you really eat bamboo seeds?" Xiao Changqi was still somewhat hesitant.
"Chirp chirp." New Year's Day nodded emphatically.
When she was a human, of course she couldn't eat bamboo seeds.
But now that she's turned into a bird, she somehow wants to eat bamboo seeds.
After confirming that the bird was not lying, Xiao Changqi suddenly leaped up and in an instant, he picked the bamboo fruit and landed steadily, his clothes fluttering as he swept away a few withered bamboo leaves.
Before Yuandan could even react to what was happening, a bamboo fruit was handed to her.
New Year:"……?!"
etc.
Was that man using qinggong (lightweight martial arts)?
Yuandan flapped its wings, happily hugged Zhushi, and then looked at the man with sparkling eyes.
Xiao Changqi: "..."
That look in his eyes seems somewhat familiar.
