Light, fragile, beautiful.
The singing voice is melodious.
Everyone says canaries are beautiful but fragile and need to be kept in cages and raised with care.
So the canary was kept in an exquisite and gorgeous cage for people to admire.
The same is true of the canary in front of me, with light yellow feathers without any other colors and long tail feathers. It lives in an exquisite and spacious golden cage, standing on the perch, slowly closing its lively eyes.
Around the canary, there are many bird cages of varying sizes hanging.
Most of the bird cages are covered with cage clothes. In the few remaining bird cages that are not covered with cage clothes, the birds are relatively quiet and will not disturb the conversation in the living room.
"...This batch of goods will be delivered to you." said the slightly plump middle-aged man leaning back on the sofa.
He was wearing a white shirt with flowers on it and a pair of brown-framed glasses with lenses but no prescription.
On the thumb of his right hand was a huge dark blue gem ring. As he spoke, he rubbed the gem ring with his index finger.
"Xiao Qian, do a good job." The middle-aged man patted the arm of the man in a dark blue suit who was standing next to him and shrinking his head, and said slowly.
The man in the suit didn't look timid. On the contrary, he was burly, with slightly erect eyebrows and fierce eyes. But at this moment, he deliberately bent his body and head, lowering his eyebrows to look docile.
"Yes, yes, boss, don't worry, I promise to deliver all the goods safely to the other party!" The man in the suit nodded repeatedly and made a guarantee.
"Well... this batch of goods is very important. There must not be any mistakes!" The middle-aged man took the pipe in his mouth and said seriously to the man in the suit.
"If someone leaks the news and gets stopped by the police..."
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up, pulled out something from his waist and pointed to one side of the living room.
The movements are so agile and swift that it is totally inconsistent with the appearance of the body.
The direction being pointed at was the study room that was connected to the living room and separated from it, and there was no door.
There are many bird cages hanging densely on the ceiling of the study. Among them, the first one facing the living room is the large and exquisite golden bird cage.
The canary, who had been standing motionless on the perch with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes the moment the middle-aged man pulled out her wooden grenade.
There was a hint of sharpness in the small and delicate canary's eyes, and there was a murderous aura surrounding her.
A pair of jet-black bird eyes stared at the middle-aged man and the wooden box in his hand.
The middle-aged man was unaware of this and he opened the safety catch.
The index finger slowly pulls the trigger.
"That's how it is..."
"Um?"
The middle-aged man was staring at the birdcage and suddenly froze. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at it carefully for two seconds.
The canary in the cage looked at him dangerously, waiting for the moment when he pulled the trigger...
"Zhang Rui!!!"
The middle-aged man suddenly put his hands away, clenched his fists, and roared loudly.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Yes! Boss!"
A lean and strong man in black clothes and black pants hurried in, lowered his head, and stood straight in front of the middle-aged man.
"Do you still want to do this?!" the middle-aged man yelled at him, spitting everywhere.
"What bird did you hang there?"
"That's the best-looking and smartest canary!" said the middle-aged man, patting the back of Zhang Rui's head, who was half a head taller than him.
Zhang Rui's head was knocked down a little, and when the middle-aged man took his hand away, he raised his head slightly again, but still kept his head parallel to the ground.
"Can you afford to pay for it if I beat you to death?"
The middle-aged man slapped him on the back of the head again.
"Can you afford the compensation?"
Another palm.
"Can you afford the compensation?"
Another palm.
Zhang Rui didn't dare to say a word, let alone resist. He just kept his head down and parallel to the ground.
The middle-aged man finally calmed down a bit, glared at Zhang Rui unhappily, and said angrily: "Why don't you go and change the bird cage!"
"Yes! Boss!" Zhang Rui stood up straight, lowered his head and pointed at the middle-aged man, then ran towards the birdcage.
"Hmph." The middle-aged man slammed his hands on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, picked up the pipe and put it in his mouth.
He glanced at the man in the dark blue suit.
The man in the suit lowered his head, tucked his hands and feet at his sides, and stood there respectfully.
The original intended deterrence failed, and the middle-aged man was too lazy to demonstrate it to him again.
He waved his hands impatiently.
"Okay, keep the goods safe and be careful. You will get something after the mission is completed. Now go down."
"Yes! Boss!" The man in the suit paused, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he answered loudly and respectfully.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, indicating that he could leave quickly.
He sat on the sofa, took two puffs of his pipe, suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked to the study.
Zhang Rui was hanging the birdcage containing the canary in another place.
The middle-aged man walked straight to the canary cage.
He put his head close to the birdcage, and a large face with black and yellow skin and rough skin occupied most of Canary's vision.
Canary's round black eyes turned and glanced at him.
The little claws holding on to the perch moved, turned sideways, and faced him with its slender light yellow tail feathers.
"Shhhhhhhhh~"
The middle-aged man looked at the canary, pouted his lips, and whistled.
Canary maintained her previous posture, motionless and ignoring him.
Taking the pipe from his mouth, the middle-aged man tried to put the thin end of the pipe into the birdcage to tease the canary.
Canary suddenly turned around.
The small round black eyes stared at the middle-aged man's eyes, and there seemed to be contempt in the eyes, as if he was looking at a fool.
The middle-aged man's hands suddenly froze.
Then, he seemed a little angry at being looked down upon by a bird.
He stuffed the pipe into his mouth and slapped the exquisite birdcage with both hands.
The bird cage was slammed back and forth, causing a commotion inside the cage and spilling food and water everywhere.
The canary did not look frightened at all, and its two claws firmly grasped the perch. The perch was movable and swung back and forth in the cage, while the canary's body remained still relative to the perch.
It's not much different from swinging on a swing.
Seeing that the canary didn't move at all after he clapped his hands twice, the middle-aged man was still angry and raised his hand to clap on the birdcage again.
It seemed that he suddenly remembered that a canary bird could not withstand the tossing and turning, and that the one in front of him was a little precious and not something that could be easily found. He paused with his raised hand and then put it down.
The middle-aged man snorted twice, walked out of the study, put on his coat, and went out.
