Chapter 3 Starling's Starling

"Quack quack quack!"

After three sounds, a stone shot out of the air and hit the crow's head in an instant. The force was not too strong, not too small, and it hit the crow exactly one centimeter and three cents behind its right eye.

The crow tilted its head and the pebbles fell from the tree to the ground.

"Noisy!" Shen Xiaojia stretched out, walked out of the woodshed in the backyard of Zuiyue Building, walked to the foot of the tree, picked up the crow with white eyes on the ground, weighed it in his hand a few times, and muttered, "Only two

Two pieces of meat are not enough to stuff between the teeth."

Just when Shen Xiaojia was about to put the crow back under the tree, Lao Qu walked out of the woodshed, gently flicked the white rag, put it on his shoulder, yawned, and looked up.

The crow in Shen Xiaojia's hand said urgently, "Don't throw it away, don't throw it away. This size is perfect for barbecue. Apply a layer of honey and chew the meat and bones together. It's crunchy!"

"Orleans roasted crow?" Shen Xiaojia said with a strange expression, "You look very experienced. Have you eaten it before?"

Lao Qu smoothed the hair stuck together on his forehead, raised his head and smiled coolly and said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, where there are rivers and lakes, there are killings, and where there are killings, there are crows... I traveled when I was young.

There is no shortage of this stuff in the world. If you eat more, you will naturally start researching how to make it more delicious and how to eat to fill your stomach."

Shen Xiaojia glanced at Laoqu, then at the crow in his hand, and said dubiously, "Is this thing edible? Isn't it sour?"

"It's a little sour and bitter, so I put honey on it. After all, life is already bitter enough, and food can't be bitter anymore..." Lao Quguang's light always stayed on the crow in Shen Xiaojia's hand, and pursed his lips.

"Wild crows like this are dense in texture, nourish yin and blood, kill insects and treat tuberculosis, soothe the liver and relieve wind. They are a must-have fine ingredient for home travel!"

Shen Xiaojia suddenly remembered the place where crows often stayed in the old song. He couldn't help but retched. He simply put the crow into his arms and said expressionlessly, "It's not like there is no food now. There are so many chickens, ducks and geese."

The crow is waiting for you with its neck stretched out in the circle. There is no need to eat these messy things. This crow doesn't have a few ounces of meat, and even the snacks are meager, so you should let me take it in and keep it as a pet. I can tease it when I have free time.

It’s also a good time.”

"What thing?"

"Pets are like the actors kept in the homes of powerful people."

"You'd better let me eat it. It's not good luck to pamper this thing."

Shen Xiaojia took half a step back and shook his head, "This is feudal superstition. It's very unscientific! It's just a psychological suggestion. Nothing has any connotation of good or bad luck. Crows naturally like to eat rotten things, so they will naturally eat some small things.

It appears in an auspicious place, but this does not mean it is a symbol of death. Just like you have been going to Yanyu Tower frequently recently, are you a symbol of the hungry ghost in sex? "

"I didn't come to Yanyu Tower to have flower wine..." Lao Qu touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said, "Since you don't want me to eat it and don't keep it, then let it go. It can be considered as a good deed.

"

Shen Xiaojia shook his head from side to side again, "I just said that from today on, this crow is my pet. I will take good care of it and raise it until it is white and fat. I will completely overturn your understanding of the crow."

Crow cognition.”

Just when Lao Qu wanted to say a few words of advice, the crow lying in Shen Xiaojia's arms suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed a splendid bag that Shen Xiaojia had placed in his arms with his claws, and suddenly got out, fluttering its wings and flying high.

, croaked, "What a beautiful thought! What a beautiful thought!"

"Can you talk?" Shen Xiaojia and Lao Qu's eyes widened and they exclaimed almost at the same time.

The crow circled around Shen Xiaojia's head, pulled down a drop of yellow and white stuff, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Little trash! Little trash!"

Shen Xiaojia touched the warm yellow-white thing on his forehead, his face suddenly turned livid, he picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, threw it at the crow, gritted his teeth and said, "I regret it! I'll kill you now."

Ya’s rack was roasted on the fire! Not a single hair was pulled out!”

The crow tilted its head, flapped its wings twice, barely dodged the stone, and let out a few high-pitched screams, "Can't hit! Can't hit!"

The stone as big as a fist fell in a parabolic trajectory and hit the head of the laughing old man without any hesitation.

Boom! A dull hitting sound came out. Stars flashed in Lao Qu's eyes, and a small red bump suddenly appeared on his forehead. He stretched out his right index finger, pointed at Shen Xiaojia tremblingly and said, "You're done... The Yamen will give you this month's bonus."

You have to give me all your salary to buy soup and medicine!" He sat down on the ground and kicked his feet a few times, "If you don't pay, I will go to the government office to sue you! By the way, when you went to bed last night, you called the county government office what a bastard.

Talk about eggs, scum, and parasites in your sleep too!"

Shen Xiaojia's eyes twitched, and he looked sideways at the crow in the sky, pretending not to hear Lao Qu's words, jumping up and down to chase the crow, and fled from the backyard of Zuiyue Tower, "Damn black-haired beast! How dare you mess with the boss?

Qu’s head, I’m going to have to pluck all your hair out soon!”

Lao Quchui, who had a beard, stared at Shen Xiaojia's back disappearing from the courtyard gate. He rubbed the swollen bumps on his forehead and sighed helplessly. His eyes moved to the jujube tree where the crow was standing before, and he frowned slightly.

His ears moved, and he suddenly heard a noise coming from the woodshed behind him. He raised a mocking smile on his lips and muttered, "Another little mouse sneaked in, trouble!"

Just as Lao Qu was about to walk towards the woodshed, there was a loud noise from Zuiyue Tower and the woman shouted angrily, "You bastard Lao Qu! Where did you die? What time is it? Why don't you come out to greet the guests quickly?

Don’t you want this month’s salary?”

The old curved face trembled, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the living room of Zuiyue Building with a smile on his face, and responded loudly, "Come on! Don't be anxious, shopkeeper..." As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup standing there.

Behind the counter, he was fiddling with his abacus, walked over quickly, put his hand on the abacus, and smiled bitterly, "Shopkeeper, don't stop charging me. If you continue to charge me, I'll lose my money this month."

"You have to support two people by yourself," the middle-aged woman said with a stern face as her eyes squinted, "You are still cheating and cheating, do you really think that I am a living Buddha? If you want to do it, get out of here as soon as possible!

"

Lao Qu took off the white rag from his shoulder, pretended to wipe the dust on the counter, and said with a flattering smile, "Let's do it! You are the Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus, with a broad mind! Be merciful and leave me some.

Drink money..."

The middle-aged woman stretched out her green-white fingers and drew a circle on the back of Lao Qu's hand, and said with a sweet smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't deduct wages. If you don't work hard during the day, then sweat more at night!"

Lao Qu hurriedly withdrew his hands and lowered his head, but he happened to see two proudly standing peaks. He swallowed his saliva and coughed dryly and said, "Yan Yan, we have known each other for more than ten years and we know each other well. Please stop teasing me... This

It is easy to burn a fire, but very troublesome to put it out. There is a widow living in your heart, and there is also a white moonlight in my dream... Xiao Jia and your son also grew up wearing a pair of underpants. If we get together, then

Two boys have to chase me for eight hundred miles with kitchen knives."

"Coward!" Yan Yan retracted her fingers with a bored look on her face, rubbed her neck a few times, and took out a pomegranate-sized wine jar from under the counter, "If you want to drink, you don't have to go out to buy it. We also have it here. The price of the wine will come from your wages.

It’s buttoned up.”

"You know I'm not just here to drink..." Lao Qu smiled awkwardly, "I just want to take a look at her from a distance from time to time, and that's enough. So, this drink money..."

Yan Yan sneered and said, "Look at your worthless appearance. In Xiaojia's words, you are just a dog licker... Aren't you just an old bustard? If you want me, you will buy her. Why are you talking about Bai Yueguang... Bah!"

"That's not possible. It takes a lifetime to be happy with this kind of thing!" Lao Qu shook his head, "Yan Yan, you have loved, suffered, abandoned, and regretted. You should know how to force yourself.

Not only is it not sweet, it’s also poisonous.”

"Okay, okay," Yan Yan impatiently put the small wine jar on the counter, "I won't deduct your wages, but this wine is a reward for your busy schedule in the restaurant last night..." Seeing Lao Qu, he immediately ordered

He opened the lid and immediately put his hand on the wine jar, "You can't drink it now. Let's go to your woodshed first. You're good at work, so you have to help me first..."

Lao Qu put on a bitter face and said, "Yan Yan, I really can't do it. If you want to have sex, just find the cook. He has been coveting you for a long time..."

"Go away! What are you thinking about!" Yan Yan rolled her eyes, pointed at her neck and said, "I had a stiff neck last night, and I want you to squeeze it for me. Your technique is good. You did it for me last time.

It will be fine immediately after that, otherwise why do you think I should give you this jar of wine?"

"I see... If you had told me earlier, you scared me. I thought you were going to do some firewood work with me in the woodshed..." Lao Qu pretended to wipe his forehead, then suddenly remembered something and shook his head from side to side.

, "You can have a massage, but you can't go to the woodshed."

"Why? Is there anything shameful in your woodshed?"

"That's not true. Normally you can come in and out at will, but you can't now. At this moment, there is a big mouse in the woodshed, rummaging through the cabinets. But you don't have to worry, I put a lot of mouse traps in the woodshed.

It won't be long before it stops jumping around."

"Big rat?" Yan Yan immediately had goosebumps on her arms, "How big is it?"

Lao Qu gestured with his hand on his chest and said softly, "It's about this big."

"That's a rat spirit, right?" Yan Yan bit her lip, turned and walked towards the backyard, "I usually tell you to pay more attention to personal hygiene, but you refuse to listen. You are so sloppy. No wonder the woodshed always attracts snakes.

Bugs, mice and ants... forget it, I'll go back to the wing and apply hot water on it. Maybe it will feel better. When a customer pays, just greet him and put the money in the drawer under the counter. Don't blame me for being greedy.

You’re welcome, ma’am!”

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, don't you know who I am? My hands and feet are clean!" Lao Qu looked at Yan Yan's back and happily calculated how much tip he could secretly leave. When he turned around, he found a man with a basket.

The old woman stood at the door of the restaurant, staring at herself with a half-smile. She couldn't help frowning, but she still put on a smile and greeted her. She bowed slightly and said, "Invite me objectively! What do you want to eat? Our restaurant has a variety of dishes.

There are many, the color, smell and taste are all good, and the burning knife is even better..."

The old woman randomly picked an inconspicuous corner and sat down, put the basket on the table, looked at Lao Qu with squinted eyes, and said thoughtfully, "What do you think I should eat?"

Lao Qu glanced at the sweet potatoes in the basket on the table, stood up straight and said, "It can't be sweet potatoes."

"Of course," the old woman chuckled, "There's no point in eating sweet potatoes when you come to a restaurant. Of course, you have to drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of meat."

"At your age... it's not appropriate to drink alcohol and eat meat. It would be better to order something soft."

"My teeth are in good shape. I roasted a crow last night and chewed it into my stomach with the bones in. Nothing was wasted."

Lao Qu touched his nose, blinked his eyes and said, "Don't be brave. After all, you are old, and it would be ugly to have broken teeth."

The old woman let out a long sigh, "Even you think that I am losing my beauty because of my old age... Well, then you can help me order some soft food. You probably haven't forgotten what I like to eat. I really must have forgotten it."

,Grandma, I will be very sad."

"Sir, you are really good at joking. This is the first time we have met. How could I know what flavor you like..." Lao Qu coughed lightly, "However, I can help you order some special dishes of our restaurant.

, I think you won’t be disappointed.”

"More than once... We met last night, on a moonlit night on the Spring River. You were outside the crowd, and I was also outside the crowd. I took a sudden look, and never thought we could be old friends..."

"With this extra touch, an old friend may become an enemy."

"There is no need to be so vigilant. After all, we have been friends for decades. Even if we are enemies, we will treat them with courtesy before fighting... Have you seen the myna in the courtyard?"

"Is that a myna? I thought it was a crow, and I almost roasted it on the fire."

"That's myna's myna. If you really roast it, spit it out quickly, otherwise this place will become a river of blood soon."

Lao Qu picked his nostrils and said with cold eyes, "I said almost, don't you understand? Or are you deaf because of your age?"

The old woman chuckled and said, "You have really changed. You are actually angry with me for the people in this restaurant. No wonder you haven't succeeded in killing the boy named Shen for ten years. It's not that you can't, but you probably don't want to, right?"

Lao Qu shook the white rag expressionlessly and said, "Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I think the boy named Shen you mentioned is definitely not the boy in my courtyard. He just happens to be named Shen."

…”

"Really?" The old woman picked up the teapot on the table, poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "When my apprentice finds the evidence that he is him, that kid will not be the only one who will die...

…”

"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. There are not only mousetraps in my woodshed, but also many novel tricks made by that boy to prevent the crowing of chickens and dogs..." Lao Qu laughed and said casually, "That's too far-fetched.

It’s far away. I’ll go and order for you right now. I may have to charge a small tip... You’d better fill your stomach first and then talk about killing people!”
