Chapter 291 Baby Flew
"Chirp, chirp, look at me."
Shen Yuexi was sitting in a magnificent carriage, using a blade of grass to tease the thrush in the golden birdcage in front of her, smiling happily.
The thrush was the size of her palm, with brown and black feathers, and a white circle on its round eyes. It was turning back to comb its feathers when it was touched by a blade of grass. It turned back and scratched the blade of grass, and called twice. The sound It was clear and tactful, making Shen Yuexi laugh so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth.
This time I was invited to Shengzhou Fucheng, and I really enjoyed it. Wu Yong, the governor of Shengzhou, entertained her attentively. A large number of officials surrounded Xiao Zhuo, while she was surrounded by a group of ladies and ladies, and she ate a lot of delicious food. Before leaving, Wu Yong They also arranged a motorcade and guards to escort her. In addition to gold and silver, they also gave her a beautiful thrush as a gift.
This little bird with its sweet chirping really liked her so much that she ignored Xiao Zhuo all the way and was busy playing with the bird.
Xiao Zhuo sat next to her and looked at her with a smile until she put down the blade of grass and then asked:
"Yue Xi, it turns out you like birds so much. Why haven't I seen you mention it before?"
"Before?" Shen Yuexi said with a smile, "I used to be so busy running for my life that I had no time to think about these things."
In the past, there was no time to consider personal preferences. Things are different now. Nowadays, there are a large number of people waiting on you wherever you go. Not only do you eat well, but you are also given gifts before leaving. It is really decadent and decadent.
But she likes it very much. It's time for her to enjoy it after all the hard work.
"Isn't the big bear very powerful? Can't it catch birds?" Xiao Zhuo asked puzzledly.
"Of course not, it won't even pluck a pheasant feather. If you ask again, it will bring up the Animal Protection Law... Forget it, these are not things that a husband needs to know."
After Shen Yuexi finished speaking, she looked at the thrush again.
There were two things she wanted to solve right away.
The first is that although this gold cage is expensive and luxurious, it is a bit small. The thrush cannot even fully expand its wings in it. It is about to go to Xiaogang Village, so it needs to be changed to a larger cage.
The second thing is that I haven’t given the thrush a name yet. I need to find a name to call it.
The motorcade passed through Xiaogang Village and stopped at the north entrance of the village.
The village is busy, with villagers pushing stones on trolleys coming and going on the straight Holy Avenue, like an endless stream of ants. Craftsmen, led by Yang Cong and Feng Zhang, are measuring the dimensions, digging foundations to build city walls, and hammering with iron hammers. The sound of stones resounded in the city to the north in an endless stream.
Now the population of Xiaogang Village has reached more than 50,000. Thanks to the raids made by the Second Prince when he marched eastward, many people were displaced and came to settle in Xiaogang Village. Now the city at Langya Pass can no longer accommodate it, and it is adjacent to Xiaogang Village. An outer city is being built at the entrance of the village to the north of Gangcun. When the outer city wall is built, all residents of Xiaogang Village can move into the outer city to live in the outer city, which can rival a state capital city in scale.
The carriage stopped, and Xia Lan, who had been waiting at the entrance of the village, immediately came over and opened the door for Shen Yuexi.
Xiao Zhuo leaned forward to get the cage, but Shen Yuexi quickly blocked it: "I'll get it myself. Don't throw my little baby with your hands and feet."
After hearing her comment, Xiao Zhuo lowered his head and looked at his hands.
Shen Yuexi personally held the birdcage in her hand and jumped out of the carriage. When Xia Lan saw the birdcage, she shouted in surprise: "Mother, this little bird is so beautiful. Where did it come from?"
"It was a gift from the prefect of Shengzhou." Shen Yuexi lifted up the cage. "Look, there are white circles around its eyes. Doesn't it look like it has eyebrows drawn..."
She was anxious to change the cage for the thrush, and after saying hello to Yang Cong and others, she hurried away, leaving Xiao Zhuo there to discuss the construction of the city with everyone.
After entering the city and returning to the mansion, she first carefully placed the birdcage on the table in the hall, then sat down and fanned herself with her sleeves, while Xia Lan picked up the kettle and poured her herbal tea.
Even outside the customs, the weather in July is already a bit hot.
Shen Lan came out to greet him. When he saw the bird in the cage, he smiled and said, "Sister, I got a great treasure this time when I went out. I'll make you laugh."
Shen Yuexi drank a cup of tea and said to Shen Lan and Shen Lan, "Look at it for me. I'll ask the craftsmen to make a larger birdcage."
Of course Big Bear is good at making birdcages. But if he suddenly makes a big birdcage in front of Shen Lan, his sister will be frightened.
She left the mansion and hurried to the mine in the mountain, where she made a wire birdcage one meter square. She happily ran out and returned to the mansion with her hands in hand.
With such a big birdcage, the thrush can do a lot of things inside.
She was full of the thrush. She did everything by herself and did not feel tired even after running around. When she returned to the hall, she saw Xia Lan holding a long-mouthed kettle and pouring water for the thrush. Li Wan also came, and Shen Lan was whispering in front of the birdcage.
"Everyone, the cage is ready. Haha." Shen Yuexi proudly held the new birdcage in her hands and placed it on the table.
Shen Lan turned around and said, "Then let's move it to a new birdcage now?"
"Of course, this birdcage is too small and it will definitely not be comfortable inside." Shen Yuexi replied.
She looked at Shen Lan first, then at Xia Lan, and then at Li Wan. She felt that none of them were suitable to touch. Of course she had to move the little bird she liked herself.
She first placed the gold wire birdcage and the wire birdcage side by side, then opened the door of the wire birdcage, turned back and opened the door of the gold wire birdcage, and slowly put her hand in.
"Baby, don't run away, we have to move."
The other three people watched nervously. Li Wan clenched her fists and said, "Cousin, please be gentle, don't scratch it."
"Don't worry... I'm sensible, don't run away."
When the thrush saw Shen Yuexi's hand reaching into the cage, he immediately jumped to the top of the cage, flapped his wings and screamed sharply. The hair all over his body exploded, and two small downs fell down.
"Don't be afraid, my sister will give you a new home." Shen Yuexi soothed in the gentlest voice and stretched her hand to the top of the cage. Before it could touch the thrush's wings, the thrush flew down again and landed at the bottom of the cage.
"Mother, it's under your wrist," Xia Lan exclaimed, "Oh, it's got into your sleeve!"
Shen Yuexi felt the furry hair on her arm go up and down. Before she could retract her hand, she felt pain in her arm, as if several knives had been scratched. It was Thrush's claws that kicked on her arm.
"Oh, these little claws are so sharp."
She withdrew her hand while crying out in pain, put her left hand into her sleeve, and finally took hold of the struggling blackbird and took it out.
Seeing her successfully catching the thrush, everyone watching the battle beamed with joy and said in unison: "Hurry up and put it in."
Shen Yuexi finally caught the bird and just breathed a sigh of relief. Before she could say anything, the thrush lowered its head and pinched the back of her hand hard.
Ouch, it hurt so much, as if small pliers were clamping the flesh and turning it around. Tears fell out of her eyes.
The pheasant in Longsheng Town was so vicious back then.
She released her hand, and the thrush flew out of her hand, spread its wings, and flew towards the exit of the hall.
"Come on, come on!" Shen Yuexi panicked, stamped her feet and shouted, and the others also screamed. It seemed like something big had happened.
Qiang Lin and a group of secret guards rushed into the hall in panic, each drawing his sword. Qiang Lin said: "Master, we are here, don't panic!"
"Hurry and grab it," Shen Yuexi pointed at the thrush flying out of the hall, "Hurry, it's about to fly away."
Qiang Lin and the secret guards looked at each other in shock as they looked at the thrush, which had turned into a small black dot under the blue sky.
