Dream Pet Shop

When Xia Ji woke up in the morning, he sneezed twice, feeling that the room was completely cold.After he got up, he found that the balcony door was not closed, leaving a gap, but he remembered that he had closed the door before going to bed last night.

Feeling a bit stuffy, Xia Ji came downstairs sniffling, and found that the window of the back door on the first floor was open, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.It can't be a thief!He's pretty sure the windows were locked last night!

Xia Ji's first reaction was to check the pets in the store, and looked at the cages one by one. Xia Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the pets were all safe and sound.

After feeding the pets breakfast, Xia Ji had no appetite. He went upstairs to make himself a cup of coffee. He felt as if he really had a cold. In order to avoid spreading the cold to the pets, he pulled out a mask and put it on again.

Xia Ji customized a small sign on the Internet, and it arrived this morning.He hung the sign outside the door, wiped the two floor-to-ceiling windows with a rag, and after finishing this, he lay listlessly on the desk at the front desk, staring out the window motionlessly.

The sun was shining outside the window, and the sky was fine, but there were few people. Xia Ji lay on the ground all morning, and he could count the passers-by on the road with one hand.

"Ah, it's so boring! Xiao Chong, let's chat."

[Host, please complete the primary task as soon as possible. 】

Xia Ji stared at the 0/10 in the task progress column, feeling melancholy.He spread it on the table like a puddle of mud, and said softly, "I want to too, but no one came to tell me what to do."

The system ignored him.

Xia Ji remembered the Weibo he registered yesterday, so he took out his phone to read it.It turned out that there were more than 400 followers on Weibo, and the parrot video he posted became popular, with 10 views overnight and more than 100 comments. Xia Ji couldn't wait to watch it and reply one by one. .

"Crooked! Yaoyaoling! After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some animals became spirits!"

Xia Ji replied: "Please let me go~"

"This pet blogger doesn't take the usual path, and plans to rely on bird fire?"

Xia Ji replied: "It's not a pet blogger, it's really a pet shop looking for caring people to adopt."

"How can a parrot be so cute? This is the rhythm of trying to trick me into raising a parrot again!"

"The parrot I raised for a year only taught it to say hello. How did the blogger manage to teach both singing and ancient poetry? Please pass on the secrets!"

……

Xia Ji saw so many comments, everyone liked this little parrot very much, and felt that finding an adopter was very hopeful.So he opened the cage excitedly, planning to take some more pictures of the little parrot.As for the video... don't shoot it yet.

The little parrot landed on the table and looked at Xia Ji for a long time, as if Xia Ji was wearing a mask, so it didn't recognize him.Xia Ji quickly picked up his mobile phone to capture its cute expression, then pulled off his mask, pointed to himself and said, "It's me, it's me."

The little parrot finally recognized Xia Ji, so he lowered his head and began to eat the bird food wholeheartedly. Xia Ji was still busy posting on Weibo.

Sure enough, the parrot became restless when he was full, and began to chatter in a loli voice.

"Small and fat back from home, the local accent has not changed and the meat is piled up. When children meet each other, they laugh and ask the fat man who you are."

Xia Ji: "..." How much do you have in reserve for poetry? !

After posting Weibo, Xia Ji wanted to put the parrot back in the cage like yesterday, but this time the little guy didn't cooperate with anything, flying around, and Xia Ji couldn't catch it.

Xia Ji saw that it just didn't want to be locked in the cage, and didn't intend to fly out of the store, so he let it go.

As a result, the bird finally exposed its "flaw". It turns out that it is a chatterbox!The twittering didn't stop for a moment, and Xia Ji was almost disturbed to death by it.Moreover, the bird's vocabulary is amazing, every sentence is not repetitive, and it is also the kind of indecent sentence with changed words!

Xia Ji had a headache at first, and fell asleep on the table, but this silly bird flew over his head and sang non-stop: "Chick chit chi chi baby baby baby chi chi chi chi baby baby..." Xia Ji was still disturbed by it at first I got a headache, and after a long time, I took this song as a lullaby and fell asleep in a daze.

Xia Ji had a dream. In the dream, he was also sleeping. Suddenly, a black cat came in from outside the room. It came up to Xia Ji and sniffed it. Mao, that feel...is as smooth as water, Xia Ji laughed in his dream, and then woke himself up laughing.

After waking up, he really heard a burst of laughter. He rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, only to see a group of elementary school students with schoolbags chasing and running to the front of the store, looking into the store.

Xia Ji sat up in a daze. He didn't expect that there would be elementary school students nearby. Before he could react, one of the boys had already opened the door at the instigation of his classmates.They are just guests when they enter the door, Xia Ji stood up seriously to receive them, and said, "Welcome."

The boys were sweating profusely from running, their cheeks were red, and they were still panting.The boy who came in first glanced at Xia Ji, and asked in a very loud voice: "This store has opened again? Is the owner replaced by you now?"

Xia Ji frowned, subconsciously touched his face, but touched the mask.He immediately pulled down the mask a little, revealing what he thought was a handsome face, and said, "It's really rude! Who is the strange man, he is called Big Brother." The boys next to him suddenly burst into laughter, each full of anger, Xia Ji My head hurts even more.

A boy wearing glasses tugged at the boy standing at the front and asked him, "Yamato, where is the bird that can only read poetry?"

He patted his chest with a loud voice, and said confidently: "Wait, the next moment is to witness the miracle." Xia Ji rolled his eyes when he heard it from the side. .

The boy named Yamato put his finger in front of his mouth, made a chirping sound, and then read a poem: "The hero's sword is not old."

"Shua—" suddenly, the little parrot flew down from the top of the cabinet, casting a shadow over the boys' heads, and then only a soft and cute loli voice answered: "My old lady still has her charm."

"Wahhahahahaha!" A group of primary school students jumped up and down excitedly, "It really can read poetry! Hahahaha!"

Xia Ji was so angry that his temples hurt, this is even a poem!I dare say that this kid taught his parrot badly!Xia Ji immediately showed the momentum of the shopkeeper and started to chase people away: "Go, go, don't teach my parrot bad."

Yamato also reached out to touch the little parrot, said "Cut—" to Xia Ji, and then left with a group of classmates.

Xia Ji saw clearly the school badges on the school uniforms of this group of elementary school students just now. It turned out that they were students from the elementary school attached to University H, no wonder they passed by here after school.It is estimated that when grandpa opened the shop, the brat with a loud voice would come here often.

Xia Ji sighed, stretched out his finger, let the parrot sit on it, and educated it painstakingly: "You have to forget everything he taught, otherwise no one will like you, you know."

The little parrot looked at Xia Ji in confusion, blinked his eyes, Xia Ji paused and said, "How about I read "Tang Poetry and Song Ci" to you from now on?"

The little parrot "chirped" and flew back into the cage.

Xia Ji felt that there would be no customers coming to the store today, and he was suffering from a cold, so he planned to close the store early to rest.As soon as he turned around, he saw a girl standing quietly in front of the French window.She was wearing a floral dress and a hairband of the same color on her head. She was very delicately dressed, and she looked like a child from a rich family.

Xia Ji waited for a while, seeing that she hadn't left and hadn't come in, thought she was embarrassed, so he opened the door and asked her, "Do you want to come in and take a look?"

The girl looked at Xia Ji, her big clear eyes were as calm as water, but she was not as timid or shy as Xia Ji imagined.She nodded and followed Xia Ji into the door.

She looked at each pet carefully, and Xia Ji introduced from the side: "The pets in our store can be adopted for free. Although they are not perfect, they are all healthy now. If you have a favorite pet, you can share it with your parents." Discuss adopting it."

The girl nodded, but still didn't say a word, which made Xia Ji, who had been talking to himself, a little embarrassed.He thought that the little girl didn't want to talk to him, so he silently went back to the table to hold the dead body.

The store became very deserted again, and suddenly the little parrot jumped out of the cage again, yelling: "Miss sister, do you want to go to heaven?" Xia Ji almost fell off the chair in fright.

The little girl was also a little surprised when she saw the parrot that suddenly appeared, but she quickly calmed down and continued to stare at the three-colored cat in the cage.As a result, the parrot jumped on her head again, pecked at her braid, and began to read some dirty poems while pecking.

Xia Ji couldn't see it, and went over angrily to put the parrot back in the cage, but this guy was flying around the girl, but Xia Ji couldn't catch it.

Xia Ji hurriedly apologized: "I'm not kidding, I scared you. This parrot is a bit skinny, it seems to be entangled with you, and it's getting late now, your parents might be worried, you should go home early."

The girl looked at the parrot, then at Xia Ji, still silent, nodded and left silently.

It took Xia Ji a lot of effort to put the parrot back in the cage. This time, in order to punish it for being rude to the girl, Xia Ji closed the door of the cage.

[Host, Xiao Chong thinks the little girl is a potential adopter. 】

Thinking about the girl who didn't say a word from entering the store to leaving, Xia Ji said: "Forget it, the little girl looks very quiet, she must not like chatter."

What Xiaji didn't expect was that the little girl came again the next day.She changed into a small skirt and tied the same headband.The little parrots in the store would peck at her braids as soon as they saw her, and then read nonsense poems to her.

Xia Ji wanted to stop it, but the girl didn't seem to mind, so she sat quietly and listened to the parrot.The same goes for the third day and the fourth day.

Xia Ji gradually felt that something was wrong, not to mention that the little girl didn't have to go to school every day. From the perspective of children of her age, most of them would not be able to control their curiosity and tease with the bird when they met a talking parrot. After four days, Xia Ji never heard a word from the little girl.Xia Ji felt that this girl might be dumb.

The chattering parrot could not be "sold", but Xia Ji's cold got worse day by day.On this day, he closed the shop early, changed the food, water and bedpans for the pets, took medicine and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, he woke up with a blocked nose. He kept breathing through his mouth in his sleep. He felt his throat was dry and sore. He was about to get up to drink water, but he heard a slight movement from the first floor.The houses around the pet shop are all empty, so it is very quiet at night, and any slight sound can be heard clearly.

Xia Ji worriedly went downstairs to check, and as soon as he walked down the stairs, he had a face-to-face encounter with a black figure approaching him.

Xia Ji rubbed his eyes, and saw clearly that standing in front of him was a... black cat?It's a cat!

Cat slave Xia Ji's eyes lit up with a "swish".
