Chapter 40...Canary in a Cage



Perhaps it was tired of standing, so the canary above my head lay down.

Shen Dian felt it.

"Brother Bird, you are not going to hatch eggs on my head!" he shouted.

There was a sudden sharp pain on the scalp.

He was pecked hard by the canary.

"Ouch!" Shen Dian cried out in pain and reached out to touch it reflexively.

When Shen Dian felt the pain on the back of his hand, his eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"What kind of bird is this?" A white-haired old woman came up to Shen Dian and asked, staring at the canary with curiosity.

"Well, I heard people say it's a canary." Shen Dian replied.

The old woman nodded and looked at the canary's pale yellow feathers.

"Auntie, are you also going to the class to get the eggs?"

"yes!"

"How long do I have to attend this class before I can get the eggs?"

"It depends on the time. Some classes are longer, some are shorter, but usually they are over in an hour. Last week, I attended a class near Xinghu Road and only attended for half an hour, but I received a huge bag of laundry detergent!"

Shen Dian nodded: "Auntie, are there many such activities of giving gifts for lectures? What is the lecture about?"

"There are many such activities, everywhere, to attract people."

"We invite experts to give lectures on health and products!"

Shen Dian vaguely understood something.

“Do they sell you anything?” he asked.

"Some asked us to buy products, but today we didn't ask them to buy. We bought voluntarily. If we didn't want to buy, we didn't have to pay a penny."

“If they don’t sell products, then why do they give lectures about products?” Shen Dian was puzzled.

"Talk about health and products, let us pay attention to our bodies."

"We're here. I won't tell you anymore, young man. I'm going in first."

The staff organizing the event originally did not allow Shen Dian to enter, but he finally managed to sneak in.

They were all made because they had no money. The old bastard actually searched everything on him and took away everything, not even fifty cents.

Shen Dian moved a bench and sat among a group of old ladies and old men. His determination to overthrow Wang Wensheng became even stronger.

The canary lay silently above his head; the man and the bird stood out among the crowd of old people.

In front, next to the podium stood a man in his thirties, wearing glasses, a white shirt, suit pants and leather shoes. He looked neatly dressed and looked a bit like the real deal.

It is said that this is an expert from the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of the Daxi General Hospital.

The name of the hospital is quite long. Although the elderly people present had never heard of this hospital, they still thought it was very impressive and applauded enthusiastically.

He had been speaking for a while, his passionate tone and high voice coming clearly from the speakers.

"... The uncles and aunts present are also old. They should learn to take care of themselves. Don't be reluctant to spend money and don't be stingy about taking care of your body. Your body is your own! Once you get sick, the hospital's big and small examination fees, medical expenses, and nutrition fees are very expensive. Your children also have to take time out to take care of you day and night. It's not worth it."

"…We also need to do a good job of disease prevention to enhance our body's immunity…"

"...When I saw you, I thought of my parents who were far away in my hometown. My family was poor before, and my father was bedridden all year round. The house was always filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine..."

The expert seemed to be choking up as he spoke. He turned around, raised his head, blinked, and calmed down for two seconds before turning around again and continuing, "I have been working and wandering alone for so many years. I don't know if they are doing well. You are just like my parents..."

"…This propolis is green and environmentally friendly, and has absolutely no side effects. The raw materials are imported from the United States, Switzerland and other countries. It uses the latest nanotechnology to extract essences from a variety of rare plants and animals and concentrates them into a small pellet. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals… It can greatly improve the body's immunity. If the immunity is improved, physical diseases will not find you…"

"Is this propolis useful for high blood pressure?" an old man in the audience suddenly asked.

The expert smiled and said, "This uncle asked the right question. This propolis is very helpful in lowering high blood pressure."

“Does diabetes have any effect?”

"have!"

"What about osteoporosis?"

“It can be cured!”

"Is there any effect on old cold legs?"

"have!"

“It cures all diseases!”

"That guy was originally lame, but after eating our Changsheng Propolis, he is now completely healed, his leg is no longer lame, and he won the second prize in the long-distance running at the provincial sports meet last year!"

Shen Dian was sitting among the elderly people in the audience. At first he listened carefully to the expert's speech and was very happy. But later he began to feel drowsy.

The canary above his head had already closed its eyes and was resting.

Shen Dian fell asleep, his head slowly resting on the shoulder of the old man next to him.

The old man had a stern face with the corners of his mouth drooping. He glanced sideways at him and ignored him.

"Waste! Good-for-nothing! A bunch of rubbish!" Wang Wensheng cursed while taking the vase from the bookshelf and smashing it on the ground.

“Crash…”

The ceramic vase shattered and flew up, and the sharp fragments splashed on the face of the subordinate who lowered his head.

The subordinate closed his eyes slightly to prevent the fragments from flying into his eyes.

He didn't care about the pain on his face caused by the ceramic fragments.

Wang Wensheng suddenly grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "What's the use of you? What's the use of you!"

"Dozens of people were guarding this villa inside and out, but someone escaped!"

Wang Wensheng pushed hard with the hand that was pinching his collar, and he fell to the ground.

"Get lost! Bring that kid back to me. If you can't, you don't have to come back anymore!"

The subordinate slowly climbed up from the ground, stood up, and bowed his head respectfully.

"Boss, that Shen Dian must have an accomplice! The door on the ground in the house and the lock in the basement were all broken from the outside! Moreover, his accomplice had extremely sharp weapons, and these door locks were all broken with one knife!"

After hearing this, Wang Wensheng pondered for a moment, his eyes slightly narrowed, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Like a ferocious lone wolf.

He suddenly glanced at his men.

When his subordinates were looked at like this, cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs.

"Why don't you just go now! Do you still need me to take you there?"

"No matter if he has helpers or not, we must capture him at all costs!"

"Catch those suspected helpers if you can, but if you can't catch them, don't be persistent, just kill them without mercy!"

"Yes! Boss!" The subordinate quickly responded and ran out to instruct others.

Wang Wensheng stood there with his hands behind his back, feeling extremely uneasy inside. After a while, he threw his hands away, picked up the vase again and smashed it to the ground.

“Crash…”

The bus stopped in the yard and several elderly people stood in front of the door chatting, not in a hurry to get on the bus.

They are still waiting for others to come.

Five minutes later, most people had arrived, and the elderly people got on the bus one after another, carrying their bags filled with food and water.

Another three minutes later, everyone arrived and the bus started moving.

The vehicle drove to the neighboring city, zs city.

When passing the corner of the intersection, a skinny man on a bicycle suddenly came out from the side and rushed forward. Seeing that there was no way to avoid him and he was about to be crushed, the bus driver slammed on the brakes.

"squeak--"

The elderly people in the seats leaned forward one after another, and there was a panic in the car. Fortunately, they had been told to fasten their seat belts already, and apart from being a little frightened, nothing was seriously wrong.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At the rear of the bus, there was a noise between the last row of seats and the glass windows, as if something was rolling and bumping in the middle.

"Ouch! Ah!"

Several screams were heard from the rear of the bus, and the voice sounded quite young.

The old people looked at each other in confusion.

"Hiss... the old wounds haven't healed yet, and new wounds have been added..."

Shen Dian sat up from the gap between the last row of seats and the glass window, rubbing his head and gasping for breath.

The old man sitting in the last row didn't notice him at first, but when he suddenly sat up, he was so scared that he stood up quickly.

Unfortunately, I was restrained by the seat belt and was bounced back to sit when I was halfway standing up.

The person who was in charge of taking this group of elderly people to the neighboring city of ZS for a trip was a young man in his twenties, with a short haircut, dark skin and a steady temperament.

He unbuckled his seat belt, stood up from his seat, walked towards Shendian, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Uh..." Shen Dian touched his forehead. It was much less swollen than when he was beaten by Wang Wensheng's men yesterday.

But obviously, this is not the right time to lament about my good physique.

"I...where am I? Who am I..."

Shen Dian had nothing to say and had to pretend to be crazy and stupid in an attempt to get away with it.

"How should I know who you are? This is a bus chartered by our company. You'd better get off now and find out who you are yourself." The young man looked at us unkindly.

Those eyes seemed to be saying, if you don't get off the bus, I'm going to beat you up and kick you out of the bus.

"Hey! Young man, didn't you meet the one at the door? Where is your golden...canary? Where did it go?" The white-haired old woman who was met in the morning suddenly pointed at Shen Dian and said.

Shen Dian's eyes lit up and he immediately found his savior.

He bent his long legs, jumped, and easily jumped out from the gap between the last row of seats and the glass window. He spun around on the spot in a coquettish manner to release the force and stood firmly in the car.

The injuries all over his body did not hinder his cool behavior at all.

He put his index and middle fingers together, flicked his hair, and smiled.

Unfortunately, although the swelling on his face had subsided, it was still a mixture of colors, and he looked not handsome but funny.

"Pa pa pa!" The old people immediately applauded.

"The boy is quite skilled!"

"neat!"

"good!"

The young guy who was responsible for taking this group of elderly people out for the trip suddenly didn't know what to say. He was responsible for taking the elderly out for the trip, and his purpose was three: safety, happiness, and selling products.

Now this group of elderly people are obviously happy. We have been told in the training that at times like these, we should give in to their wishes and not pour cold water on them or hinder them.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should kick Shen Dian out of the car immediately.

Shen Dian had a happy smile on his face. He ran to the seat of the white-haired old woman and squatted down.

"Aunt!"

"Canary, she's outside!"

"Outside?" The old woman looked puzzledly out the window.

The other elderly people curiously leaned on the car windows and looked out.

"No?" The old woman looked carefully for a long time, but didn't see any birds.

"There! Look, that yellow canary above your head!" the old man with thinning hair shouted, pointing to the sky.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a canary soaring in the sky under the blue sky and white clouds, its wings illuminated by the sunlight, reflecting golden light. It was flying freely, lightly and flexibly.

The canary circled in the air and then raised its head to soar into the sky.

"Chiu——"

"Chiu——"

A clear and soft long sound was heard, and each sound was pleasing to the ears.
