caged robin

The news of the last performance of the robin spread throughout Silverbow City, and even people from other cities came to see the performance.This time the stands were bigger than before, and before dusk, the seats outside the arena were already full of people.They sat down in the shade of the trees, and those who couldn't find the shade wandered around in the wilderness when they arrived late.

"I heard that the robin is no longer acting?" a big man said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"Yeah, I came here to watch the last performance." A young man said.

"Hey, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to watch in the future." The third interrupted.

"what? What?"

"This robin doesn't know how many dancers have been changed. They are all performed by children. They can't be too young. It only takes two or three years. Can I not perform in the future? It must be something else. , maybe it’s just...the actor with the beard? Maybe he played the role of robin when he was a child."

"Hey, come on, you're messing things up. How can this little robin grow up to be so big and thick?"

"You really can think about it." The tall and thin man continued to say mysteriously, which aroused the curiosity of the people around him.

The man put his legs on the table next to him, and said lazily: "After the last Mockingbird was over, I will play 'Thorn Blossom'."

"'Rose'? That's a real beauty. Didn't she run away with a lord? How do you know? The robin almost covered his eyes."

The man replied: "When I went backstage that time, the robin's mask just fell off, and I picked it up. That little face, tsk tsk... I couldn't help but snatch it away."

"Hey, my lord is coming to see the play today, so you can have something to eat when you talk."

"What are you afraid of? If everyone is dead, you can drag me to be buried with you?"

"Hey, I'm afraid I will take you to feed the dogs and be buried with you? It's a good idea."

"Hey—look at your pusty mouth."

"Well, well, let's not make a noise. O kings, let's talk about the mockingbird."

"This robin imitates the most amazing bird song I've ever heard."

"I just wanted to say, God is God. But this dance seems to have changed a lot from the last one."

"Because everyone else has changed, this robin took over the roles of the missing actors and flipped so many times in the air, thanks to the child's strength. So I guess, this robin is a boy. "

"A boy, too, I guess. The last mockingbird danced softly, and this mockingbird always has some vigor."

"Hey, it's a boy with strength? You haven't seen the strength of my mother-in-law. Hey, one palm can kill a sow."

"Just you interrupting here, how can splitting a sow be compared to dancing?"

"If you say that, I won't go anymore, dare you bet? This must be a girl. I've never seen a boy with such a thin figure."

"Just bet, I bet on the boy, how much?"

"Ten copper coins."

"to make!"

"So how do we know for sure whether the mockingbird is a boy or a girl?"

"It's not difficult. When it's over, follow me backstage..."

"..."

A handyman held a barrel and yelled in the crowd: "Ale—free ale—"

Soon, a group of people gathered around holding clay cups, and the ale splashed and bubbled in the cups.

Occasionally, a carriage came by, and a well-dressed lord raised the curtain, looked at the group of rude civilians, frowned, and continued to sit in the carriage.Soon, the roadside was full of carriages.

There are also small traders who smell the breath of making copper coins, and bring their handmade gadgets and cheap silk products to the crowd to shout.

"Ribbons—cheap—"

"Bird whistling—robin bird whistling—"

A little boy was crying and refusing to leave before the robin whistle. His mother coaxed and beat him, but to no avail.

"You already have one, you can't buy another one!" Mother snapped.

The boy looked at the bright bird whistle with tears in his eyes, and cried out again with a "wow..."

The vendor is still trying to sell his bird whistle, "This bird whistle sounds like a robin."

The mother glared at the peddler, then slapped the boy's hand severely, dragging and pulling.

"Do you want this?" Suddenly a voice interrupted the boy's crying.

He raised his head to look at the blond-haired, well-dressed older brother, and nodded ignorantly.

"Take it." The elder brother paid the money, took off the bird whistle and gave it to the crying boy.

"Thank you brother!" The boy grabbed the bird whistle, eagerly put it on around his neck, broke away from his mother's arms and ran away.

"My lord, is there anything else you need? I still have bracelets and glass beads here... I'm sure you won't see them in the city..." The vendor knew that this man was a generous lord at the first sight, and hurriedly sold his leftovers. gadgets.

"No need, I want to know..." The lord took out a robin bird whistle and asked, "Is this kind of bird whistle still available for sale?"

The vendor narrowed his eyes and said, "This kind of bird whistle has long been outdated, but there were not many goods at that time, and I didn't get any goods several times."

The lord smiled slightly, "Okay, thank you, I will also buy a bird whistle like this."

He took the same bird whistle as the little boy just now, paid for it, put away the bird whistle, and walked backstage.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The small locker room was shaking. Abner was only wearing a shirt and shorts, with his hips crossed and he couldn't stop jumping.

After a while, Aureas stooped in with a bag of plums in his hand.

Abner smiled with his eyes wide open, jumped forward, took the plums, gave Aureas a fairly clean place, and sat down.

He took out a red plum and was about to hand it to Aureas. Aureas smiled and said, "I won't eat it, you can eat it."

"Don't be picky," Abner stuffed the plums into Oreas' mouth, and continued, "I know you don't eat meat, but these are always edible, right?"

Aureas took a bite of the plum and said, "It's not that we don't eat meat, it's just..."

"Hmm, I know I know..." Abner interrupted Oreas' explanation, biting the plum hard, the juice splashed on his cheek.Yes, yes, his place is different from ours anyway, and their people can turn into animals, Abner thought.

"I'll be back." Oreas wiped the plum juice off his cheeks, looking seriously into his eyes.

Abner was a little overwhelmed by the look, he avoided his eyes, and the roots of his ears were red.Yes, yes, maybe when I die one day, you come back to my funeral, Abner thought, but his ears turned redder.

The two fell into a moment of silence, when Abner suddenly exclaimed, Oreas grabbed Abner's feet and placed them on his lap.

"Oreas! What are you doing!" Abner's cheeks also turned red.

Aureas looked down at his fair ankle, there was a fresh bloodstain next to a mole, his eyes sank, "Where did you get it? Aren't you always by my side today?"

Abner scratched his head, "Just now... when you went to buy plums..."

Aureas glanced at him, leaned over, Abner suddenly realized what Aureas was going to do, he quickly grabbed Aureas, and said: "It's okay, a small scratch, it will be fine in two days gone."

Oreas ignored him, and continued to lower his head, licking the wound gently.

"Ahahaha...It's itchy...Hahaha...Aureas, don't..." Abner's legs kept writhing, but he couldn't break away from Aureas's hand.

The door was thrown open suddenly.

Abner was so frightened that he raised his toes and kicked Oreas in the face with all his strength.

The person who came was the father of the circus. He glanced at the two of them, looked at Oreas carefully, and said with a sigh: "The child has grown up, and I can't help it..."

Before Aureas let go of Abner's foot, Abner struggled several times before breaking free, and quickly said: "Father... let me introduce you, this is Aureas, mine... friend."

The old man sized up Aureas again, sighed again, and said, "That's all, at least it's still pleasing to the eye, but only if Xiao Hei is satisfied."

The corner of Abner's mouth twitched: "..." Dad really dotes on that black cat.

"Xiao Hei!" The old man turned around and shouted behind him. Suddenly, a cat meowed, and a little black cat ran over.

The old man bent down and hugged him, and the cat rubbed against his beard.

"Okay, Xiao Hei, come on, come and have a look at that tall man, what do you think of him? Is he worthy of my grandson?" The old man asked Xiao Hei.

Suddenly, Xiao Hei let out an excited meow that surprised the old man, and then Xiao Hei struggled desperately in his arms.The old man put down Xiao Hei strangely, and Xiao Hei almost ran towards Aureas, and kept rubbing against Aureas' legs, meowing non-stop.

Aureas lowered his legs, and Xiao Hei immediately climbed up his legs. When he saw Aureas's hand, he first stepped forward to rub it, and then tentatively licked it with the tip of his tongue. Seeing that Aureas didn't rush Walking by itself, it immediately rolled over on Oreas' lap and acted like a baby.

The old man was dumbfounded, then sighed again, and said, "Oh, the cat can't help it when it grows up..."

Abner hurriedly took Xiao Hei off Aureas' lap and sent him to his father's arms, Xiao Hei's eyes were still turning towards Aureas.

The old man patted the little black cat, pulled Abner out, closed the door, and said, "You are a nice person, but isn't your age a bit old? I know you lost your mother when you were young, but you can't..."

Abner took a deep breath and interrupted Dad, "Dad, it's not what you imagined, we are friends..."

The old man glanced at the base of his ear, and said, "Why are you so shy with the old man? Look at you now, just like your mother back then."

Abner: "..."

The old man patted him on the shoulder and said: "I agree, it's good to be a little older, it will hurt people. Okay, okay, go clean up, there's only tonight left, who will remember me in the future?" This bad old man..."

"No, Dad..." Dad turned and left, and Abner stomped anxiously behind him.

"Abner!" Sean found this place, and Abner stepped forward to meet him.

Sean punched Abner as soon as he came, and Abner yelled "Hey".

Xiao En glanced at him coldly, and said, "Don't pretend to me! Where have you been all day! Didn't you finish collecting your soul yesterday?"

Abner scratched his head, "I... went out for a stroll..."

"one person?"

"With a friend."

"Who?"

"Oreas."

Xiao En punched again, and said, "I knew it! Kings...have you forgotten me?"

This time it was Abner who punched Sean, "What are you talking about, Oreas is leaving, what's wrong with me taking him for a stroll?"

"Leave? Where are you going?"

"Going home, of course."

"Where is he from?"

"I do not know either……"

Abner waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I've reserved a good spot for you, and I'll take you there first."

Abner took Sean to the stands, which were empty and the audience hadn't come in yet, but he saw Herbert and Wins.They waved to him and Sean walked towards them.

Suddenly, Sean caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing into the background, and he froze for a moment.

Abner asked, "What's wrong?"

Sean turned his head and said, "No, it's nothing, maybe I was confused, I seemed to see Lord Aubrey Fernando just now."

Abner patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's because you are delusional. If he can come to my performance, the sun won't come out from the west?"

Sean raised his eyebrows, "That's right."

Abner arranged Sean with Herbert, Wins, and Oreas, all of which were excellent seats to watch the show.

Wen Si took a sip of the wine he carried with him, and said to Abner: "I heard there is a surprise for tonight's mockingbird show?"

Abner smiled, "Yes, we'll see."
