1398 Making a Choice (1/2)
Zhang Zian saw the deep and heart-wrenching feelings between the mother and the child, and he felt sympathy for them, so he took the initiative to help the young man deal with the problem of this grey parrot.
In addition... He'd always felt that this gray parrot may be related to his constant sneezing. Maybe he was allergic to parrots? However, there were two or three ordinary parrots in his own pet store. How could it be that he was fine there?
The young man glanced up. ”Sorry to trouble you...”
”It doesn't matter. I don't have anything to do anyway.” Zhang Zian opened his WeChat. ”Add me as a friend. I will inform you of the process and results. If you feel unsatisfied, you can always come back and get it.”
”Thank you so much.”
The young man was really out of options. Just a few hours after he'd left home, his mother had almost lost her way. If someone helped him deal with the grey parrot, it would be much better.
After adding him as a friend, Zhang Zian took over the birdcage and arranged the black cloth outside to avoid being seen by other people on the road carrying a grey parrot.
”Little Purple... Yellow Pea Cake...” the older woman muttered at the birdcage.
”Mom, this parrot is not a Little Purple or Yellow Pea Cake. Let's go home first. I will take time to go to other pet shops to find you something else,” the young man said softly, trying to persuade her.
Zhang Zian interjected, ”Well... If you want to buy a certain kind of parrot, it is best to go to a professional aviary. There are not many parrots in general pet shops.”
”An aviary?”
”Well, I remember that the city of Binhai seems to have one, but I can't seem to remember the name... Do go back and check it out online,” Zhang Zian suggested. ”When you go, tell the breeder what parrot you want. Be clear, or simply go with your mother and let her choose.”
”Okay, thank you.” The young man nodded gratefully. ”I only knew that there was a breeder for cats. I didn't know that there was an equivalent for birds as well. After I go back home, I will check it out... Now, I will head home.”
”Bye-bye.”
Zhang Zian waved goodbye to him.
Looking at the young man supporting the older woman as they disappeared into the depths of the alley, Zhang Zian felt that Zhuang Xiaodie might have been left out of the entire situation. He decided to deliberately start a conversation with her. ”Have you seen a grey parrot? This type of parrot is very big and often only seen in the zoo. Do you want to see?”
With that, he picked up the corner of the black cloth and let her watch the gray parrot.
The grey parrot's little black eyes turned and looked for the light. It stared at Zhuang Xiaodie and suddenly cried, ”Same sex, true love! The opposite sex, future generations! You two, no play!”
Zhang Zian listened, quickly let down the black cloth, smiled, and said, ”This parrot... I don't know who taught it, but its mouth should be taped up.”
Zhuang Xiaodie had already seen that this grey parrot was the elfin named Richard. However, it was only when the black cloth, which was covering the cage, was pulled away did she realize this. It was already too late. If she had known earlier, she would have found ways to prevent it from approaching Zhang Zian.
”You are going to take it...” she said.
”As I said before, I will take it back and call the Wildlife Bureau or the zoo and ask them to receive it.” He added that this was also a normal process.
She nodded and asked no further questions. This parrot, besides its mouth, could not possibly cause much trouble. She would quickly find a way to encourage Zhang Zian to send it away. Its ability had also been suppressed in the dream world. It could only speak a small number of words and short sentences. It could not say things that were as savage as what it said in reality.
