Silly Bird teaches singing
Early in the morning, Gou Dan was preening his feathers on the plaque above the gang's gate when he suddenly heard a loud argument coming from the courtyard.
"This month's bill is wrong!"
Chen Ze slammed his hand on the table with a cold expression.
"Who stole the kitchen's food supplies again?"
Drunk Breeze slowly exhaled smoke rings.
"Anyway, it wasn't me."
The eldest brother hid behind the fried fish, a few grains of rice still stuck to his colorful clothes.
"This is... a routine inspection of the gang's assets!"
"The examination has reached inside the abdomen?"
Shiyun shook her head helplessly and gently plucked the strings with her fingertips.
Xi Jiang suddenly pulled a slip of paper from the ledger.
"Wait, it says here, 'Dog Egg's special food payment is twenty taels.'"
"Dog Egg!"
All eyes turned to the doorway.
Dog Egg was trying to sneak away with a salted fish in his mouth when he saw this and immediately got angry.
"What are you looking at! I'm still growing!"
In order to punish the theft of food, Chenze announced a three-day "guild discipline rectification".
"First item, morning exercise!" He held a long sword, his gaze sharp as a knife.
The eldest brother yawned sleepily.
"Could we change the practice time to afternoon..."
"Second item: hygiene inspection!"
Zui Qingfeng looked at his empty tobacco pouch, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.
"The third item is academic subjects!"
Shiyun smiled and unfolded a volume of the Analects, while Xijiang had already ground the ink.
Dog Egg squatted on the windowsill, gloating.
"Serves you right! You guys skimped on my rations!"
Suddenly, the fish-fryer raised his hand.
"Report! Dog Egg peed in the well yesterday!"
The entire gang was thrown into chaos instantly.
Just as the chaos reached its peak, the door was kicked open with a bang.
A girl in red carrying a giant sword stood at the door, followed by a dozen or so bodyguards with bruised and swollen faces.
"I heard you have chickens here that only know how to swear?"
Dog Egg alertly raised its remaining feathers.
"What? You want to fight?"
The girl's eyes lit up.
"That's it! It'll be my dad's myna bird's teacher!"
Zui Qingfeng squinted his eyes.
"remuneration?"
"One hundred taels of gold!"
The leader instantly appeared in front of the girl, his colorful sleeves fluttering.
"Please come in, esteemed guest! Dog Egg is one of the key members our guild is grooming... Ouch!"
Dog Egg slapped him in the face with one of his wings.
In the afternoon, the girl in red angrily kicked open the gang's door.
"What kind of rubbish are you teaching?!"
The myna bird on her shoulder stood tall and proud.
"Old man! Gold coins galore! Old man! Gold coins galore!"
Chen Ze's sword was drawn three inches from its sheath with a clang.
Shiyun's zither playing stopped abruptly.
Zui Qingfeng silently began counting money, preparing to pay compensation.
The eldest brother squatted in the corner and drew circles.
"I told you we should teach the Three Character Classic..."
Dog Egg was perfectly justified.
"Do you understand market economy and customer needs?"
At night, the gang's rooftop was filled with people.
The eldest brother was gnawing on a roast chicken.
"What do we do now? That girl's father is the leader of the martial arts alliance..."
Chen Ze wiped the longsword.
"To kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey."
"You dare!"
Dog Egg's chicken droppings hit his sword tassel precisely.
A gentle breeze blows smoke rings.
"Why don't we have Gou Dan apologize?"
"Bullshit! I didn't do anything wrong!"
Suddenly, the fish-fryer raised his hand.
"I have an idea! Why don't we have Brother Shiyun teach the myna bird to sing?"
Everyone turned to look at the white-robed young man playing the zither.
Shiyun: "......"
Xi Jiang chuckled softly.
"That's something we can give it a try."
