to blame

The rolling gate was stuck, but the gray bird was still rushing forward, and the glass door was crumbling.Not only the little girls who helped push the door, even Tu Qing's expression changed.Although he owns a pet shop and has sold some birds like parrots and mynas, he has never seen this kind of battle, especially seeing the fierceness of these gray birds hitting the doors and windows. what happen.

The pet shop didn't have any particularly heavy furniture, Ming Xia went back and forth a few times in the shop, dragged out the pet food that Tu Qing kept in the inner room, and firmly resisted the glass door.Most of the pet food stocked in the store came in big packages of [-] catties a bag, and Tu Qing took the lead in carrying out all the stored food from the small warehouse in the back, stacking bags one by one.Until the entire glass door is blocked.

Ming Xia was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, but he couldn't take a break, and didn't stop to catch his breath until all the tables and chairs were blocked up to the door.

Tu Qing fumbled for the light switch and found that the power had been cut off.With the faint light coming in through the gap of the rolling gate, several people looked at each other, unable to determine whether they were really safe.The rolling gate has no soundproofing effect, and the intensive banging sound from outside the door and window continues to be heard, which is also mixed with crying from a distance.

The youngest girl wept softly, and her companions whispered comfort to her.

Tu Qing turned on the phone again, but found that there was still no signal, and was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone.Ming Xia suddenly pressed his arm, turned his head and listened.In the next second, the two of them came to their senses together and ran towards the bathroom.

The small warehouse of the pet shop has no windows, but there are toilets and a guest room reserved for duty.Tu Qing grabbed Ming Xia's arm, "Split up, you go to the bathroom, I'll go to the duty room... Hurry up!"

The window of the guest room is larger than that of the bathroom, so it is naturally more dangerous.But at this time, he didn't care about pushing back, Ming Xia hesitated for a moment and ran towards the bathroom.

The door of the bathroom was ajar, and as soon as Ming Xia walked to the door, he heard the sound of thumping and thumping inside, and his heart sank.He looked around, picked up an empty bucket by the door, opened it forward, and carefully pushed the door open with his toes.

A mass of gray-white thing rushed over like lightning, was blocked by the bucket in front of Ming Xia's chest, and fell down thumpingly, two black sharp claws scratched the plastic bucket, leaving a few deep scratches .Ming Xia's scalp went numb, and without even thinking about it, he buckled down the bucket, trapping the attacker in the bucket.

Gray Bird struggled in the bucket with surprisingly strong strength.Ming Xia desperately held down the bucket, and suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings, and looked up to see another gray bird poking its head in from the side of the sliding window.

Because the pet shop is on the first floor, the window of the bathroom is high on the wall, and the two sliding windows are only the size of a magazine. For ventilation, the bathroom window is half open almost all the year round.At this moment, this half window became the most suitable passage for the gray bird to enter and exit. If it weren't for the fact that the wall on this side was at the back of the building, this gray bird might not be the only one that got in.Seeing that the bird was about to sneak in, Ming Xia hurriedly used her knees to hold down the shaking bucket, stretched out her hand and grabbed the towel ball on the shelf and threw it over.Taking advantage of the time when the gray bird at the window shrank its head, it stretched out its arms and closed and locked half of the window.

Gray Bird stood outside the glass window and looked in with his head tilted. There seemed to be... a mockery in his fierce round eyes?

Ming Xia's heart skipped a beat, and before he could react, he felt his body shake suddenly, followed by the sound of flapping wings, and the sound was close to his ears.

Ming Xia looked back in shock, and saw that Gray Bird had already broken free from the bucket and jumped into the air, with two sharp black claws spread out, grabbing towards his face aggressively.Suddenly, Ming Xia came to his senses, because he stretched out his arm to close the window, and the leg pressing the bucket moved away at an angle.For Gray Bird, this mistake is enough to get out of trouble.

Ming Xia's calf tripped over the bucket, and he fell uncontrollably on the sink.Before he stood up with the help of the washstand dizzily, the sound of flapping wings approached again.In the mirror in front of him, he saw a mass of gray swirling in mid-air, and flew again like lightning.

Ming Xia's pupils suddenly constricted.In the next second, the gray bird's two sharp claws had already firmly grasped his shoulders. When he lowered his head, his bright red beak pecked at his shoulders. Then he shook his head violently, tearing off a piece of flesh from his shoulders.

Blood spattered, Ming Xia screamed in pain.

Gray Bird raised its head and swallowed the flesh.Ming Xia's eyes darkened, and he grabbed it with trembling hands.The gray bird seemed not much bigger than an adult owl, but its reaction was extremely sharp, and its feathers were smooth. He yanked off a few feathers.Because of pulling the bird's body, the tip of the gray bird's claws embedded in his shoulders buckled inward a little more.

Blood oozed out and soaked half of his sleeve.Out of the corner of Ming Xia's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Gray Bird bowing his head to peck again, and suddenly felt a sense of ruthlessness in his heart, and slanted his shoulders and bumped towards the wall.The gray bird flapped its wings and soared into the air, Ming Xia quickly grabbed one of its paws, swung his arms round and threw it to the wall desperately.

The gray bird screamed and flapped its wings, struggling desperately.Ming Xia knows very well that he must not let it go at this moment, he cannot give it a chance to come and eat its meat.

Damn, who would have thought that birds would eat people? !

Ming Xia's eyes were blurred, and she relied on instinct to throw the gray bird against the wall one after another.I don't know how long after the beating, Hui Niao's struggle gradually weakened.

Ming Xia couldn't hold it any longer, and slumped on the ground.He knew in his heart that he had to treat the wound quickly, but his body couldn't control it anyway, as if he had exhausted too much energy, so that every cell was extremely tired.

"Ming Xia!" Tu Qing rushed in, seeing Ming Xia covered in blood, his eyes almost popped out, "What the hell is going on...Let me see the wound..."

Ming Xia raised his head and forced a smile, "It's okay, it's just that... I'm exhausted." After speaking, he noticed that the bathroom was stained with blood from the wall to the floor, like a murder scene.Not only was his left shoulder torn apart by Gray Bird, but there were also scratches all over his arms, which were left by Gray Bird when he struggled.He was so focused on how to kill it just now that he didn't notice it at all.

Ming Xia supported Tu Qing's arm and struggled to stand up.Outside the window of the bathroom, the gray bird watching the excitement has left. This window is relatively small, and even children cannot get in, so there are no guardrails or roller shutters installed outside.Although it is locked at the moment, with Gray Bird's fighting power, it is not impossible to break through the glass and get in.

Tu Qing understood what he meant, he found a storage box of similar size to block the window, and then used a mop pole to top it to death, to ensure that no birds would come in through this entrance in a short time—Ming Xia's injuries were too scary, Who would have thought that birds would be so lethal?

Tu Qing dragged Ming Xia out, rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find medicine to treat his wound.The girls were also frightened, and they came over to help Tu Qing with red eyes.This is a pet store, and there is no shortage of medicines. Although most of them are for animals, there are still reserves of alcohol gauze.Tu Qing also calmed down now, bandaged Ming Xia's hands and feet steadily, and took the time to tear open two anti-inflammatory medicines and stuff them into Ming Xia's mouth.

Ming Xia drank half a glass of water from the hand of the girl next to him, and suddenly realized, "Did you give me human medicine or dog medicine?"

Without raising his head, Tu Qing said, "Don't worry, if a dog can use it, you can use it too."

Ming Xia, "..."

Forget it, no matter whether it is human medicine or dog medicine, it is better than nothing.

While Tu Qing was bandaging his wound, the glass door swayed again, and the bag of dog food that was blocked behind the glass door also swayed - the rolling shutter did not fall to the bottom, so the piece of glass below The door becomes the most dangerous place.

Several people's faces were a little ugly.They were trapped in such a shop facing the street. If there were too many gray birds outside, it would only be a matter of time before they broke through the glass door.After seeing Ming Xia's injuries, they could hardly imagine the consequences of the gate being breached.

In the silence, the sounds outside became clearer: the sound of the body wrapped in soft feathers rubbing against the door and window, the sound of the sharp beak being nailed to the rolling shutter door, and the shrill screams mixed in.Although there were so many voices mixed together, several people in the room noticed that the movement outside was much quieter than before—no one was crying, and it was unknown if everyone was hiding safely.

No one wants to think about the worst possible outcome.

And Tu Qing finally found the strength to calm himself down from the familiarity brought to him by his job. He arranged the wounded Ming Xia and the youngest girl to stand guard where they could observe the doors and windows. The brave girl rechecked and strengthened all the airy corners, and took the time to feed all the little animals in the store—even though none of these little guys seemed to have much appetite.

Tu Qing didn't seem to be able to take any time off. After feeding the animals, he went to the kitchen to boil water and made a cup of hot milk powder for each of them.

As the scent of milk evaporated in the room, the atmosphere of panic in the air seemed to be slightly relieved.The crying little girl held the cup and began to weep again, thanking them while crying, "If you didn't drag us in, I don't know what would have happened...you saved our lives, woo Woooo..."

The girl next to her also had red eyes.

Hearing the sound of crying, Ming Xia only felt his temples throbbing.The overwhelming noise seemed to isolate the whole world, leaving only small island-like shops crumbling under the impact of the waves.

In the midst of this chaos, Ming Xia clearly heard the crackling sound of the glass door.

This crisp sound seemed to be a signal for dinner, which made the gray birds outside the door go crazy instantly.

The most frightening thing is that they seem to have found the most effective way to attack from repeated trials, so they all started to attack the cracks in the glass.

Looking out from the gap in the dog food bag, one can clearly see that the cracks on the glass are expanding rapidly, the rolling gate is also being pulled out of shape, the frame on one side is torn off, and more gray birds follow the torn open The breach squeezed into the gap between the rolling shutter and the glass door.

The people in the room no longer dared to push the bag of dog food in front of the door.The two doors were like two flimsy pie crusts, with more and more fillings trapped inside, and the cracked glass doors couldn't stand their pushing again.

The few people were helpless, they could only watch helplessly as the pile of dog food bags in front of the door crumbled under the impact of the gray bird.

Tu Qing suddenly raised his head alertly, "What's the sound?!"
