Chapter 240 Phoenix Escapes

In the past, if a parrot could speak three words, it was considered amazing.

But the starling in front of me can not only speak a complete sentence, but also understand what people say.

It can be called a divine bird.

"Hei Da Zhuang, why did you want to come out? Can you run?"

When I saw my friends, they all looked at me.

Deng Jinian's heart became very inflated, and his face was full of pride.

He spoke again with a beaming smile.

"I'm locking you up in a bird cage. Are you happy or not? If you don't let me out, I'll die in front of you."

The phoenix's small eyes seemed to glare at Deng Jinian.

The latter thought he had seen it wrong.

After all, birds don't have emotions.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you out. Chang Huan, go get me a leg ring from the parrot that died before. Look for it. I guess my Da Zhuang doesn't like being locked up, so he ignored us just now. Haha, four hundred taels to buy a magical bird. Let's do the math!"

Deng Jinian continued to show off.

Unfortunately, the smile on his face froze the next second after he opened the bird cage.

"Oh no, hurry up and chase him, hurry up——"

"Why did it fly away? Did this thief do it on purpose?"

"Chang Huan, come out here and die. Stop looking for the anklet and go after it. My four hundred taels, four hundred taels!!"

Deng Jinian's smile shattered.

He felt so heartbroken that his liver, gallbladder and lungs ached.

His lower lip trembled violently as he spoke.

No matter how fast a person runs.

How can I catch up with the bird?

Without waiting to open the door.

The phoenix flew away.

"Have you found it? Ah? Tell me!" Deng Jinian chased out.

He grabbed Chang Huan's collar and roared in despair.

"No, no, sir, I couldn't catch it, but I saw it flying to the right, probably heading out of the city."

Chang Huan answered truthfully.

Deng Jinian immediately summoned all his servants to chase Feng Huang together.

The guests all left with disinterest.

There were also a few who secretly covered their mouths and smiled wickedly to vent their anger.

I searched for the whole afternoon.

Deng Jinian and the servants were so angry that their mouths were shut up.

Not a single hair of the phoenix was found.

Four hundred taels were wasted after just a few noises.

There was no way Deng Jinian could swallow this humiliation.

He rushed to the backyard of Jiang's snack shop with seven or eight servants.

Jiang Siyin just opened the back door.

They squeezed in.

Look for the Phoenix everywhere.

"Where did you hide my Da Zhuang? Tell me! Did you call it back secretly?"

Deng Jinian was so angry that he lost his mind.

He glared at the Jiang family with vicious eyes.

"It's really funny. You came to buy my bird, and after you bought it, you came back and said we hid it. Why don't you look for it? You didn't lose the bird and blame us, did you? How shameless! Get out of here! If you make trouble again, I'll call the police!"

Zhang Jinlan is not a vegetarian either.

She had just finished scolding.

Jiang Da and his two brothers heard the noise and came over from the front of the shop.

He rolled up his sleeves while walking.

The hard muscles jumped back and forth.

It looks scary.

Deng Jinian was harsh to his servants.

So each of these servants looks like a skinny monkey.

Not even as fat as Sun Pingmei.

Jiang Da and his brothers can handle them all.

Jiang Eryong just picked up a stick of firewood and swung it out.

Deng Jinian was immediately shocked.

He hid behind the servant, poked his head out, uttered a few harsh words, and then ran away.

He really didn't dare to cause trouble. He was just a small landlord with a little money at home.

It won't do him any good if the matter gets out of hand.

Jiang Fubao was sitting on a chair, eating a meat pie.

From what that person said just now, Phoenix had escaped a long time ago, but had not come back. This young man was very smart and probably knew that these people would return to the shop to look for it.

So I hid somewhere else.

Jiang Fubao was not worried at all.

After eating the meat pie, it was already late and Jiang’s Snack Shop was closed.

Start cleaning.

When Deng Jinian returned home, he became angrier and angrier. He even broke several sets of tea sets, of course, the cheapest ones.

"Brother, what's wrong? Why are you so angry for no reason? Who has offended you? Tell me and I will go and teach him a lesson for you."

A man walked in from outside the arched courtyard door.

It was Deng Jinian’s younger brother, Deng Jiliang.

He is the biological father of Deng Siyuan, one of the four men Meng Bujiu used to be in. He is also the man with a mustache who bought a sick cow.

"Oh, I'm so angry. This morning I bought a talking mynah bird. It was very clever and could understand what I said. I was so happy that I didn't play with it for long before it flew away.

I searched the city and the outside world but couldn't find it. I went to the seller's shop just now, but they refused to admit that the bird had flown back. What should I do? I spent four hundred taels!"

Deng Jinian was heartbroken.

Because of the drought, the yield from the family’s fields was low, so many people were unwilling to rent their fields.

This year, the family relies solely on the rent from the shop to support themselves.

These four hundred taels were the money he was going to use to buy land in Jiangnan.

That's where the heaviest rainfall occurs every year.

Even if there is drought again this year, it will be much better than Lianshan Town.

Originally, I thought that when I got tired of playing with Hei Dazhuang, I would take him to Jiangnan and sell him at a high price, and I could make a profit.

It's fine now.

The bird is gone.

The money is gone too.

"Brother, you may have been fooled. The bird must have been trained by them in private. It may have flown back to the shop a long time ago. You just didn't find it. Sigh, four hundred taels, I can't let them get it for nothing.

In this way, you can find a few servants to surround the shop, and when the bird appears, they can break in immediately and seize both the man and the bird. They dare not say anything, and then they can either return the money or hand over the bird, or they will be sent to the authorities.

Although Deng Jiliang is not as rich as his brother.

But he has a very active mind.

I thought of a solution in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, Jiliang, I'll listen to you. You've been smart since you were a child, so I'll leave this matter to you. Starting tomorrow, you take these servants to surround them. If the bird is really found, when I go to Jiangnan to buy land, I'll take you and Siyuan with me, just for fun."

Deng Jinian is very lazy.

With his younger brother around, he certainly wouldn't go out himself.

"Okay, I'll go."

Deng Jiliang, the eldest brother, had to rely on his eldest brother for food, shelter, and even his son's education.

He must obey.

"Dad, what happened? Why are there so many pieces on the ground? Which blind servant has offended you? Just sell him off, but don't get hurt. I'm really worried about you. Fortunately, my wife didn't come today, otherwise if she saw this, wouldn't it affect the baby in her belly?"

As the two were discussing the details.

Ma Wuxing came over suddenly.

So Deng Jinian repeated to him what he had just told his younger brother.

However, after hearing this, Ma Wuxing's face darkened a lot.
