The store manager who heard the commotion strode over.
"I forgot to take it back."
…
The store manager reached behind a shelf.
After a few seconds, the store manager retracted his hand.
…
Uncle Xi and the boy opened their eyes wide in surprise.
"Parrot!?"
They almost said it in unison.
…
"Yes."
The girl introduced the two of them with a smile.
"This is Dumb."
"It's the store manager's uncle's parrot."
…
Ah, Dumb?
The unexpected and down-to-earth name seemed to suddenly break the somewhat scary atmosphere just now.
Uncle Xi and the boy were both a little stunned.
Were they...were they frightened by this parrot just now?
Why-
etc!
"Did this parrot speak just now?!"
Uncle Xi blurted out the question that flashed through his mind just now.
…
"Fool!"
As if to answer Uncle Xi's question, the parrot flapped its wings, making a sound that was a little sharp and childlike...
I don’t know if it’s due to the sound quality…
It sounds a bit weird.
…
"Shut up!"
The store manager gave his parrot a hard look.
"Don't be rude to your guests."
The store manager looked at Uncle Xi and the two.
"Feel sorry."
"This idiot knows he is an idiot, but he likes to say these two words about others."
…
"It doesn't matter."
Uncle Xi shook his head.
He wouldn't bother arguing with a parrot.
Especially when the owner has already apologized.
Moreover, he was more curious than angry.
Of course he knew parrots could talk.
Once, he saw a talking parrot when he took his children out to play.
But there are only a few parrots that can talk like this.
Even though it was not the first time he saw it, he still found it very strange.
Besides...
What they say is also different.
A parrot that talks stupid...
Uncle Xi was more amused than annoyed by being offended.
…
"fool-"
"alright."
The store manager quickly pinched the parrot's mouth.
"Shut up first."
He smiled at Uncle Xi and the two of them.
"Feel sorry."
"I hope you don't mind this idiot."
"You guys keep watching."
"The little girl is very familiar with this place."
"If you have any questions, you can always come to me at the checkout counter."
…
The store manager took the parrot and left.
On the way, Uncle Xi and the others heard several loud noises.
There is also the mutual quarrel between the store manager and the parrot.
…
"Are you shocked?"
Seeing the store manager walking away, the girl squinted her eyes and looked at her uncle and brother, with a somewhat "malicious" look on her face.
…
Uncle Xi glanced at the girl.
There was no sound.
The boys didn't say anything either.
They were indeed a little frightened.
Mainly because they were in an unfamiliar environment that made them feel uncomfortable, so their hearts were a little nervous.
Suddenly a voice came out...
The human voice is scary enough.
Still a fake human voice.
Strange sounds, darkness and a room full of reptiles...
Who wouldn’t feel a little jump in his heart?
…
Seeing that the two people ignored her, the girl immediately looked bright.
"fine."
"I was also scared when I first came here."
"Dumb is always mysterious and has scared many guests."
"But you'll be fine once you get used to it."
…
"...Dumb?"
The boys are hesitant to say anything about this name.
…
"hey-hey."
The girl smiled, "Isn't it a cute name?"
…
cute?
The boy once again doubted his sister's aesthetics.
What's so cute about this name?
…
"Why is it called... Dumb?"
The boy frowned slightly.
There was a hint of disgust in his tone.
and……
This name really doesn't look like the name the store manager picked out just now.
It doesn’t match the impression given by the store manager at all.
…
Like the store manager just now...
The name taken out should not be changed...
Um……
Even if he is called Da Zhuang, it is more like a name that the store manager would use than Dumb.
Well.
All right.
The name Da Zhuang doesn't seem to fit a parrot with bright feathers and a small body.
By the way...
He thought that even if the store manager kept parrots, he would keep such big ones.
It's him who judges people by their appearance.
…
"Brother, did you look at Dumb carefully just now?"
The girl did not directly answer her brother's doubts, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
…
ah?
The boy thought about it subconsciously.
"...It's just a parrot..."
Did he miss something?
…
"You didn't look carefully at its face."
There was a smile in the girl's voice.
"As long as you look at Ah-Dai's face carefully, you will know why Ah-Dai is called Ah-Dai."
"Dumb's face is really stupid."
The girl burst out laughing.
"I have never seen a parrot with such a stupid face."
"Haha~"
The girl covers her belly.
Although she had laughed many times before because of Dumb's face.
But when she mentioned it again, she couldn't help but smile in her throat.
…
"Its expression is just blank."
"Very funny."
“It’s also very cute.”
The girl wiped the corners of her eyes.
She burst into tears laughing.
"Besides, what Dumb said is also very interesting."
"I look like an idiot, and I always call others idiots."
"snort."
"I fight back every time."
If the store manager uncle hadn't stopped him, she and Dumb would have called each other idiots until she left.
…
Oh~
The boy and Uncle Xi suddenly understood.
That's right.
They were all frightened by Ah-Dai's sudden voice, and the store manager quickly came over and took Ah-Dai away, so they really didn't take a close look at Ah-Dai's face.
A dull-looking parrot?
They had some curiosity in their hearts.
They should be able to see the parrot when they go to the checkout later, right?
…
"Why doesn't he sell parrots?"
The boy said suddenly.
Since you don’t just like snakes, toads and other reptiles, if you sell parrots...
Will business be better?
Especially talking parrots.
There must be a lot of people who like it.
…
"Why……"
The girl blinked her eyes.
This is really...
Questions she had never thought about.
"Then the store manager uncle sells snakes..."
"What a nice snake."
Although she likes Dumb very much, Snake is also very good.
…
Boy:……
There are definitely not as many people who think snakes are good... but not as many who think parrots are good.
…
"Xiaorui."
There was a hint of surprise in Uncle Xi's voice.
"Come and take a look."
"How about this white snake?"
While the two children were chatting, Uncle Xi walked to the side and took a look.
He is not a timid person after all.
Besides, he wanted to emphasize it again.
He is not afraid of snakes.
He just felt some physical discomfort with snakes.
