Chapter 20 Shang Family


    Reality proves that it is not necessarily a monster who can talk, but a parrot.


    "What kind of demon bird is this!"


    Lu Yang was furious, and a suction appeared in his palm, and he pulled the parrot over immediately. The parrot had no chance to react and was captured.


    Xiangzheng can do this, but Xiangzheng thought this was a monster in the Qi training stage and did not dare to do this.


    "Monster beast! There are monster beasts!" The parrot chirped and shouted, "I didn''t listen."


    Tao Yaoye heard the movement in the room and hurried over to check it out, feeling similar to Lu Yang.


    Completion of the mission is a good thing, and it is also a good thing not to fight. But the problem is that we came from Wendao Sect from afar and made a flying boat for three days just to catch a parrot?


    How to write a task report? It makes people laugh at it if you tell it.


    People in Taiping Township have little knowledge and do not know this kind of bird from the deep rain forest, but Lu Yang and Taoyaoye know it. This is the most basic knowledge in asking the Dao Sect.


    "I am worthy of being a Taoist priest, and I easily captured the demon bird!" After Xiang Zheng and others learned that the parrot was caught, they praised Lu Yang and said that he had a profound cultivation level.


    The two had no choice but to explain patiently to everyone, saying that this was a very ordinary bird, but it was not common in the north of the mainland.


    "This parrot...is the demon bird you call, and what you are best at is imitating people''s words."


    "Imitate people to speak, imitate people to speak." The parrot kept calling, Lu Yang pinched the parrot''s beak and continued to explain to everyone.


    "It called Zhang Guanjia a monster, not what it wanted to shout, but it was only after hearing Tailor Feng''s call ''monster'' before that, and when it met Zhang Guanjia, it happened to repeat it."


    Zhang Guanjia breathed a sigh of relief, saying that he was a disciple of the Inquiry Sect, and he cleared his grievances as soon as he came.


    "Similarly, it shouts ''Who are you, where is Zhang Guanjia?'' The same goes for it. It cannot understand the meaning of this sentence, but it has heard it from somewhere and repeat it meaninglessly."


    "Damn this broken bird, look at me slaughtering it." Zhang Guanjia was so angry that he saw the parrot.


    Lu Yang raised his hand and stopped Zhang Guanjia: "This place is half a continent away from the rainforest. This bird must not fly over by itself, but was brought over by someone."


    "Apart from the fact that some people are bored and do not hesitate to cross half of the continent, they also have to bring this parrot that has no use except strangeness. Only the money chamber of commerce will do this purpose."


    "Can there be a money chamber for landing here?"


    The town was shook his head: "Will the Chamber of Commerce be opened in a small remote place in our country? There is a family in Quhe County, which is located in the most prosperous area, and it is endless. It is possible that after someone bought it from the Chamber of Commerce, the parrot accidentally escaped."


    As for the parrots to escape directly from the money chamber of landing, it is absolutely impossible.


    Lu Yang asked again: "This bird has been wandering around Taiping Township for 20 days and has not gone to other places. Maybe its owner is here. I wonder what the village is thinking?"


    The town was thinking for a while before saying, "Everyone in the town knows about the monster bird. If there are still people who may not know, it is the Shang family in the east."


    "The Shang family rarely goes out and is unwilling to talk to others. I heard that it is because the head of the Shang family is also a practitioner. He suffered setbacks when he was young, and his cultivation level plummeted. Since then, he has lost the heart to practice and lived in seclusion here."


    "The Shang family has considerable financial resources and is the richest man in the local area. It would be reasonable to say that they bought the demon bird from the landing money chamber of commerce."


    "Since that''s the case, then go and ask the Shang family."


    Taiping Township is not big, and three people and one bird soon arrived at the door of Shang''s house.


    After a knock on the door, someone soon opened the door. It was a middle-aged man with a beard and looked gentle and kind in a Confucian robe.


    "It turns out that it''s the township official. I don''t know who these two are. I''m going to inform the master." said the bearded man.


    Lu Yang pinched the parrot''s wings, like a visiting party during the Chinese New Year and carrying a rooster to be slaughtered: "We accidentally found this parrot. After asking around, I thought it might be from the Shang family, so I came to ask."


    The bearded man first saw Taoyaoye and was surprised. He had never seen a woman as beautiful as Taoyaoyeye.


    He looked at the green parrot and smiled happily: "So that''s the case. Thank you two young men. This should be my lady''s parrot. Since the parrot was lost, she has been depressed all day long, which makes us servants very embarrassed."


    "The lady knew that the parrot had been found, and she didn''t know how happy she should be."


    Xiang Zheng turned his head and whispered: "He is the butler of the Shang family, his surname is Zhang. Every time I come to the Shang family, he will open the door."


    Manager Zhang hurried to report and received a reply soon.


    “Master, please invite three of you in.”


    After passing through the screen door, passing through the outer courtyard, from the second gate to the corridor and then to the main room, I saw the head of the Shang family.


    The main body of Shangjia is rich, and the gloomy face keeps people from thousands of miles away. He is unwilling to talk too much, but he is very happy to see the township official.


    "Brother Huang, it''s really a long time since I saw you."


    The surname of the village is Huang.


    The two bowed and bowed.


    The head of the Shang family looked at the parrot for a moment and nodded, "Well, it''s not wrong. This is what the little girl bought at the county''s landing money chamber. At that time, I thought this broken bird was not worth much money. The chamber of commerce asked for a price everywhere, but the little girl refused to accept it and insisted on buying it. I had to follow her wish."


    "Butler Zhang, you take the two young heroes to meet Xiaoyuan."


    “Yes, Master.”


    Manager Zhang made a gesture of invitation, waved to the maid and asked her to serve tea and water for the head of the Shang family and Huang Xiangzheng.


    On the way, Tao Yaoye asked casually: "How long has Butler Zhang been to Shang''s family?"


    Mr. Zhang said respectfully: "The master saved me on his way back. Since then, I have served the master around me. Calculate the time. It has been twenty years since the lady was not born at that time."


    "So, Miss Shang''s relationship with Jia should be quite good."


    "I''m going to hide it from the two young heroes. I grew up watching the lady. I have no children. I treat the lady as my biological daughter. The lady is depressed all day long. I feel distressed as the butler."


    Lu Yang suddenly asked, "Are you there when the parrot was lost?"


    Manager Zhang sighed, and could feel the self-blame in his tone: "I walked away for a while and didn''t notice the parrot flying away. If I had paid more attention at that time, I would definitely not have made the lady so sad. This is my dereliction of duty."


    Lu Yang said oh, and said nothing more.


    Mr. Zhang slapped three times and said slowly: "Miss, the parrot you escaped has been found. They are two young men who are wandering around the world. They are here with the parrot."


    A voice came from the room: "Then let them in."


    "yes."


    Lu Yang and Tao Yaoye opened the door, and Miss Shang leaned against the window, reading quietly. The evening sun shone on the ends of her hair, as if time was frozen, with a static beauty.


    I don’t know how many young people are obsessed with Miss Shang in Taiping Township.


    Lu Yang kindly reminded: "Borrowing the sunshine to read books is not good for your eyes, especially in the setting sun. Light a light, your father is not short of money."
