Sooner or later, that dog Shen Yanjin will be pecked to death.
——Xiao Xu
If you don't listen, hang you up and roast you. If one meal doesn't work, roast you twice.
——Be calm and cautious.
………
As the wind passed by, a few tender green leaves slid down from the branches of a tall tree and silently stuck to the pond under the tree, inseparable.
Nestled in the stump of a big tree was a plump bird, taking a rest with its eyes closed.
The fat bird has a short, thick and black beak, and its wings and tail feathers are black. Its exposed body is covered with fur, and from a distance it looks like a small round ball.
The bird stretched its wings and slowly opened its eyes. Its pure black eyes, like two small beans, stared at something without blinking, then closed its eyes and opened them again.
“Chiu…?”
Chirp? ?
The bird cried out again, its face first full of disbelief, then disbelief. Unfortunately, no matter how shocked its expression was, it still looked stupid.
In the yard, there were sounds of playing and laughing, occasionally accompanied by a few anxious voices.
"Little Master, please don't run around!"
A neatly dressed child of six or seven years old with elaborate patterns on his clothes ran out from a corner of a red brick wall. He looked as delicate as a piece of jade sculpture, with two festive little buns on his head. He climbed up the tree in a hurry as if he was not being polite.
"Lulu, if you have the guts, come up, come up."
It was obvious that what was said was not a language that the bird could understand, but strangely, it could understand it.
Another child who had chased after them put his hands on his hips, pointed his plump index finger at the child on the tree trunk and cursed: "Damn it, don't let me catch you! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're the young master. My grandmother is the Empress Dowager!"
"Bah, I'm not afraid!"
After saying that, the child looked up with his cunning big eyes and saw a small round thing lying there, motionless. Out of curiosity, he climbed up and reached out to grab the little thing, not knowing that he had grabbed a handful of bird feathers.
"Chirp..." Naughty kid!
Although several of Xiao's hairs were pulled, causing a chill somewhere on his body, fortunately he was not caught, and thus indirectly learned to fly in the sky with the body of a bird.
"Hahaha…"
The child who had one hand on his waist changed it to two, and with exaggerated movements, he laughed at the naughty kid on the tree without any grace. The naughty kid was so angry that he pointed at the servant and said, "You useless thing, hurry up and get someone to take it down for me!"
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Soon after the lackey left, he came back with a group of guards, shouting, "Quick, use your bow to get that bird down!"
Xiao He: “…” He slipped away.
It flapped its wings to avoid the flying arrows and flew out of the yard like a stumbling young bird.
Afterwards, a few shouts and curses were heard occasionally, and Xiao Xu, who had escaped death, observed this new world and flew slowly to a small courtyard in the distance.
The distance they flew was neither far nor near. Xiao Xu was so tired that he stopped on the cliff and planned to rest for a while.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, waking up the dizzy Xiao Ling. He blinked his small round eyes and lowered his head to take a look.
It was a five-year-old child with messy and dry hair. He was rubbing a piece of clothing in his hands. If it had not been standing high up on the tree, it might not have been able to see the child in the pile of dirty clothes.
The wooden barrel beside him was kicked over and lay there alone, with no one trying to pick it up.
Xiao Xu let out a small chirp and silently looked at the child's hands that were rubbed with blood. The backs and palms of the hands were dry and yellow, and the face without nutrition was small and green. The sight of the miserable and lonely little appearance made its heart frown slightly.
Could the child be a servant? But the clothes he wears are not those worn by servants...
Compared with the two children who were dressed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, the child below was thinner and his clothes were not as neat and fancy, but rather ragged.
Is this supposed to last until night?
Xiao He thought about it and was about to fly down, but unexpectedly a pair of cold eyes stared at him, causing him to stop abruptly.
"It turns out to be a little fat bird." There was a subtle sense of relaxation in the childish tone.
Xiao Xu stared at him blankly, shook his little head, and then tucked it into his wings.
Never mind, he probably doesn't deserve its sympathy!
