Chapter 43 [Catch the parrot]

"Boss, please help me with the Yuan blue and white porcelain pieces tomorrow. I'll see the real goods."

After saying this, I stood up, turned my head out of Baoguo Temple, and waited for the bus at the signboard of the north exit of Baiguang Road.

After a while, I looked back at Tongrentang Pharmacy not far away, hesitated a little, and crossed the auxiliary road and entered the pharmacy. I turned a bay. I happened to see Teacher Xi put the prescription on a black marble counter for the staff to make the bill. The man in a white coat said that there were five pieces of Ganoderma lucidum, two pieces of five and one piece of five. When asked which one she wanted, Xi Mansha said she wanted the cheapest one. I picked my neck and looked at the prescription. The handwriting of the symptoms diagnosis on the left line was too sloppy and could not recognize it. I could vaguely understand the several medicinal herbs on the right. After each medicine, there were numbers added, which should be grams, such as 12 earth dragons, 30 lily, 3 flat lily, 3, etc.

"How is it?" I asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"Hey, you haven't come home?" Teacher Xi looked at me in surprise: "The teacher is fine. The doctor said that I have lung qi deficiency, which is not a heart problem. Just take a few medicines."

Six medications were taken in total, and the payment was paid and checked out. The staff handed her a small red plastic round sign with numbers written on it.

"Please take the card and get the medicine after 2:30 pm."

"Thank you." Teacher Xi pouted and looked at the watch: "Oh, there are still two hours."

I suggested: "You are feeling uncomfortable, why don't you go back first? My house is also close to you. After getting the medicine in the afternoon, I will take it to you."

"No, no, then why are you so embarrassed? It's just two hours, and it's over in a blink of an eye."

"Are you waiting here?"

Teacher Xi thought for a while: "It's noon, the teacher invites you to dinner. Where is the good place here? You can lead the way."

I guessed that she might be hungry, so I said, "There is a good restaurant on Hufangqiao. I have eaten it a few times with my classmates. The price is also suitable, but it is a bit far away. I have to take two or three bus stops."

"Not far away, let's go. The doctor just lets the teacher do more activities."

I chose Hufang Bridge because it is closer to parrots. A year ago today, Boss Dou had something to do in the afternoon and closed the store early. I came out of the antique city at around 3 o'clock to take a bus home. But when I arrived at Hufang Bridge, the car shaved with a No. 14 that wanted to enter the station, and all the staff had to get off. Seeing that it was not far from home, it was not worthwhile to take the bus again, so I was going to walk back in the alley. In a remote alley, I saw several old men pointing at a tree. The parrots were hanging there on the branches. I had a wide range of knowledge and knew that this was a very expensive ornamental bird. I was a little regretful at the time, thinking that if I had arrived an hour earlier, it might not have been trapped on the tree.

After having dinner with the Cantonese restaurant, it was almost half past.

Walking in front of the Hufangqiao Halal Supermarket, I paid attention to the time and wanted to say goodbye to Teacher Xi.

“Ga…ga…ga…ga…ga…ga…”

On the streets where traffic is full of traffic, a clear bird song is mixed with the sound of the engine.

Teacher Xi obviously heard it, "What does it mean?"

"It should be a bird." I pondered: "...Let's go and have a look?"

Xi Mansha blinked and nodded slowly: "Okay, it will take an hour to get the medicine anyway."

We turned into the alley opposite the Workers' Club in the direction of the sound. After walking nearly a hundred meters, we saw the screaming parrot from the branches of the old poplar tree on the back wall of a bungalow. It was very tall and could not fit it at all. At this moment, it was quietly grasping the branch with its claws, shaking its body and shaking its feathers.

"Is it called?" Xi Mansha couldn't believe it: "You can hear it on the road just now? Is it too loud, right?"

I explained: "This bird has the largest volume among the cockatoos. How can I describe it? Well, it's similar to the black back's voice."

She glanced at me: "Do you know? What kind of bird is this?"

"It is a breed from Indonesia, a salmon-crowned cockatoo, a large ornamental bird, commonly known as red sunflower." Suddenly, I frowned and raised my hand to point at the tree branch: "Look, it has a rope on its feet and is hung on the tree."

Hongkui tied a rope to her thin ankle, looking for the source along the tail of the rope. A wooden stick inserted into dense branches and leaves came into my sight. The stick was made of grass and roses, and it was not worth the money. Maybe it was the tool for the owner of the bird to walk the bird. Because of accident, Hongkui drove the small wooden stick away. You must know that the strength of this large bird is not comparable to that of ordinary domestic parrots.

The current situation is that the rope and stick under Hong Kui's feet are wrapped around the tree branch and cannot get out.

Hongkui may have discovered its dangerous situation. She flapped her wings twice, but she didn't fly up, but she still couldn't.

It screamed in panic, as if seeking help.

"Oh! It! It's entangled!" Teacher Xi seemed to be more anxious than it, standing under the tree and directing: "Little thing! Fly forward! Flying up! Flying around the tree! The rope is wrapped around the tree! You have to turn counterclockwise to untie it! Hurry up! Fly forward!"

I stopped her: "Birds are not humans, they are not so smart."

Teacher Xi was so anxious that she stamped her feet: "Then! What a poor little guy!" She was quite caring.

I took out my cell phone and wallet and stuffed it into the plastic bag she put in her senior high school books, rubbing her hands: "I'll try it."

The trunk of the poplar tree was not very thick. I levered my hands on the tree and tightened it tightly, jumped up, locked my hands in the air, and tried to get stuck on the protruding grimace of the tree trunk. I clamped my knees hard, and climbed up a little harder. I am not a person who loves sports, so I can't help but struggle, but after a few minutes of hard work, I was at least a little up.

"Save it quickly!" Teacher Xi pointed at the bottom: "Just that fork next to you! Climb over!"

I sweat, do you think I am a monkey? Can that branch stand my weight?

I touched the thick branch where Hong Kui was, and after a moment of thinking, I reached out to break a thin fork from the poplar tree. However, before I could try to untickle the rope, I was holding the poplar tree with one hand and sank down and slid down from the tree. The loss was not high, so I didn't hurt my feet. "No, I can't fix it with one hand."

Teacher Xi clenched his fists together, "Do you think of a solution!"

At this moment, an accident occurred.

Hongkui tried hard to break free from the constraints, but when she loosened her feet, she fell from the tree branch, hanging in the air like a kimono bell. It waved its wings desperately, but it was unable to turn the sky back and forth. It was just swaying left and right at a position not high or short from the ground, and its life was hanging a thread.

Xi Mansha's face turned pale. She snatched the poplar branches that had pulled off the leaves from me, and tried to get it at the toes.

I trotted into nearby houses and knocked on the doors from house to house, wanting to borrow a chair, preferably a table.

But there were not many residents here. Finally, I found the door open by the home. When I heard my request to borrow something, the middle-aged woman shook her head and closed the door.

Helplessly, I ran to the poplar tree again.

Teacher Xi was still doing useless work, pulling his arms and pulling the branches.

"No, no, no! It's too high!" Seeing that Hongkui's struggle was getting smaller and smaller, Teacher Xi said hurriedly: "It! It's almost dead! It's too late! Gu Jing! Come and recite the teacher!"

"It's useless! It's better to stand taller than to carry it on your back!" I smacked my lips. If the parrot dies, the piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain will be ruined. I searched left and right but couldn't see anything I could step on. With a hammer of my forehead, I squatted in the poplar pit and patted my shoulder with my backhand: "Teacher Xi, try stepping on my shoulder."

"Can you do it?"

"You don't even have a hundred pounds, no problem."

Teacher Xi walked over with doubts, looked at me, bent down and took off the light-colored flat sandals, red face, and her bare little feet timidly stepped on my shoulders, holding the tree trunk with both hands, and with force, the right foot and the whole body were heavy against me. When she swayed and stabilized her body, Hongkui stopped moving, as if she was dead. Teacher Xi exclaimed and quickly picked up the small branch to poke the wrapped rope, "Little guy, hold on for a while! I'll save you right away!"

She was busy saving birds, but I couldn't say anything about it.

I just swear to say that there is no problem, but the weight of less than a hundred pounds was pressing on my shoulders, and I realized how heavy it was.

I didn't dare to wipe the sweat that kept coming out before my forehead. I was afraid that Teacher Xi would fall down because of unstableness, so I had to grit my teeth and persevere.

I couldn't see how Teacher Xi's bird rescue progressed. She was so angry that the white long skirt that almost drooped to the bottom of her calves put my head in it. Yes, the above part of my neck suddenly penetrated into Teacher Xi's skirt. In the aftermath, two white and slender calves were clearly visible. The temperature in the skirt was obviously higher than that outside, and it was covered with a special feminine look, which made me feel a little hotter in my face unconsciously.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh! I can barely get there! But I can't unlock it!"

"Try picking up the wooden stick and it's stuck in the leaves." I subconsciously looked up at the tree, but I forgot that the top of my head was blocked. Then, Ximansha's slender and smooth thighs rushed into my eyes. By the way, I saw a conservative white pure cotton fabric between my thighs.

Well……

My throat was a little dry and my Adam's apple surged. I quickly turned my eyes away and stopped watching.

"It's still a little bit! It's so fast! Huh! I've hit a little stick!" Soon, Teacher Xi cheered: "It's so successful! It's so unlocked! Oh! Gu Jing! You! Why are you in my skirt??"

Uh, you're too slow to find out?

Teacher Xi hurriedly covered her skirt and got off my shoulders, her face turned red like an apple, "... the entangled circle has opened, you can just pull it a little longer."

I coughed, took the branch from her hand, jumped up high, and hit the grass and flower pear sticks heavily. The small stick flew up and turned the last round on the tree. Wow, the stick and the bird fell straight down.

"Ah! Catch it! Catch it!"

I was afraid that it would peck me, so I dared not take it with my hands. I just stretched my feet in the air to slow down its momentum.

However, Hongkui still had the strength to do it. After a few thrusts, she soared into the air again when she was about to land.
