How to Feed an Abyss!

There is a parrot in the Wild Rose Troupe named "Marshal".

The marshal has a long family history. It is said that his great-great-great-great-grandparents lived in Gleaming City, followed his master to the main city, and then followed his young master to Dunton.

I don’t know if it’s because of the illustrious family history, but the commander-in-chief always has a high-spirited look, raising his chin, shaking his bright feathers, and squinting his dark eyes, which really deserves his name.

The first time Shi Yuan saw it was in Cheng Yi's office.

"Gong Xi Fa Cai!" said the Marshal, his chin raised in the cage.

Shi Yuan: "Wow!"

When he came closer to look, the commander squinted at him, and said in a straight voice: "Gong-xi-facai!"

Shi Yuan said, "You too, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

The commander-in-chief said, "Little cub!"

Shi Yuan:?

He was inexplicably scolded by a bird.

"Oh, that's how it is—" Cheng Yi held a pen in one hand and scratched his hair with the other, "I have a bad temper, my mouth is dirty, and I don't know who the **** I learned it from."

Marshal: "Damn it! Him! Damn it!"

Shi Yuan: "..."

Didn't you learn from the master just by looking at it!

Shi Yuan came to the office to read the script. When he was watching, he heard that the commander-in-chief cursed the eighteen generations of other people's ancestors vigorously, and from time to time he added a sentence "Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

"It's quite beautiful, isn't it?" Cheng Yi said, "By the way, it still has a few children raised at my cousin's house, just born. If you are interested, I will give you one?"

Shi Yuan: "Is it really possible!"

"Of course." Cheng Yi scratched his hair again, "You can go to her house with me tomorrow and pick one you like."

The next day Shi Yuan followed Cheng Yi to his cousin's house.

The handsome wife is also a beautiful parrot, she can't swear, and she can sing nice songs.

A bunch of baby parrots surged around the nest, a little bald. Shi Yuan chose for a long time, choosing the thinnest one.

Cheng Yi hesitated and said: "Do you really want it? I don't think it will live long. It is a little smaller when it is just born, and it is always bullied by its brothers and sisters. Even its mother ignores it."

"But it is very cute." Shi Yuan looked at it and said, "I will take good care of it."

Seeing what he said, Cheng Yi stopped insisting and told him how to take care of the birds. Shi Yuan had raised a big white bird before, so he was not completely inexperienced. He took a notebook and listened carefully. Finally, holding the birdcage, he carefully brought the baby bird home.

As soon as Lu Tinghan came home, he saw Shi Yuan leaning in front of the birdcage.

"Look!" Shi Yuan said, "It's eating corn!"

As Lu Tinghan approached, he saw a group of furry things pecking at the corn. After listening to Shi Yuan's ins and outs, he asked, "What name do you plan to give it?"

Shi Yuan replied, "It's called Xiaoshuai."

Lu Tinghan: "..."

He should have thought that Shi Yuan's naming skills were not good enough.

Lu Tinghan glanced at Xiaoshuai again, he was really too thin, he had to stop and rest for a while after eating two grains of corn, he looked like he would not live long. Even though he thought so, Lu Tinghan still helped to arrange the birdcage, and covered it with soft grass to keep it warm.

To the surprise of Lu Tinghan and Cheng Yi, Xiaoshuai survived.

Still alive and well.

Its plumage was becoming fuller and more radiant, and its beak was a healthy orange. Every day when Lu Tinghan came home, he would see Xiaoshuai jumping up and down in the cage, squinting at people, and holding his head high - this is exactly the same as his father.

But Xiao Shuai likes Shi Yuan very much.

Every time Shi Yuan stretched out his hand, it would rub against his fingertips intimately, every feather was smooth and supple.

Shi Yuan: "Hello!"

Xiaoshuai: "Hello!"

Shi Yuan: "Goodbye!"

Xiaoshuai: "Goodbye!"

One person and one bird can play for a long time.

Unlike Shi Yuan, Lu Tinghan never talked to animals or monsters. But every time he went home and saw this scene, Lu Tinghan would inadvertently raise his eyebrows.

Until one day when he came home, he heard a clear and loud "Little Cub!"

Lu Tinghan was confused for half a second.

The voice said loudly again: "Small! Cub! Plant!"

Take a closer look, Xiaoshuai is jumping around in the cage. Shi Yuan told it: "This is a dirty word, you can't talk nonsense."

Xiaoshuai: "Fuck his grandpa! Grandpa!"

Lu Tinghan: "..."

Lu Tinghan: "Shi Yuan, what happened?"

Shi Yuan said: "The troupe said they wanted to see Xiao Shuai, so I took him there. Then it met Da Shuai."

Lu Tinghan knew that the handsome man was Xiaoshuai's father, so he asked again, "What's wrong with the handsome man?"

Xiaoshuai: "Gong Xi Fa Cai—fuck his grandpa! Cluck!"

"They stayed in an office all day, and then they became like this." Shi Yuan explained.

Lu Tinghan: "...Okay, I understand."

Xiaoshuai doesn't learn from good ones and learns from bad ones. When Shi Yuan taught him the previous sentence "Hello", he learned it only after his mouth was dry. As a result, when it came to swearing, it became a big deal in a day.

In the days that followed, Xiaoshuai sang and cursed at the street, and he even had a sense of melody.

Shi Yuan came to a conclusion: "It is also very unqualified!"

Lu Tinghan really wanted to ask what the word "also" meant.

But he really couldn't ask.

Fortunately, generally speaking, Xiaoshuai is much quieter than his father. He sings and swears occasionally, which is more than enough to be an atmosphere group in the living room.

Shi Yuan's pet journey did not end here.

One day he went out to play with Lu Tinghan, and saw a merchant selling ornamental fish, small fish with beautiful colors and tail fins.

He stared intently in front of the fish tank, and Lu Tinghan asked him, "Want to buy it?"

"Yeah." Shi Yuan replied, "I remember you also raised fish when you were young."

Lu Tinghan patted his head: "Then pick a few more and go home."

There are two shops that sell fish, and Shi Yuan spent a long time picking out the fish he likes.

Lu Tinghan accompanied him, the more he looked at him, the more he felt something was wrong.

... Shi Yuan seems to be picking out the ugliest and most wretched fish in the two shops.

Logically speaking, this kind of ornamental fish looks pretty much the same, but if there are too many of them, it is inevitable that there will be a few crooked melons and jujubes: those with protruding eyes, those with dull expressions, those with hideous faces, those with everted teeth, and those that look like nothing but spitting bubbles. Nothing but bubbles...

They were all picked out precisely by Shi Yuan.

When Shi Yuan put the tenth wretched fish into the small fish box, Lu Tinghan couldn't help it, and said politely: "Shi Yuan, do you like this kind of fish?"

"Ah?" Shi Yuan focused on looking at the fish, and his answer was half a beat behind, "Yeah, I think they're all so cute."

Lu Tinghan fell into deep thought.

In the end, Shi Yuan picked out more than a dozen crooked melons and dates and a rectangular fish tank to go home.

Together, the two cleaned the tank, lined it with pebbles and fake grass, and placed it under the living room light.

Shi Yuan dumped all the small fish in, they were not shy, and swam happily in their new home staring at the dead fish eyes.

Shi Yuan: "Wow!"

The tip of his tail is also wagging merrily.

Lu Tinghan really "Wow!" He couldn't come out, every time he looked at the fish tank, he felt that all the fish were staring at him, with sharp mouths, monkey cheeks, and wide-eyed anger, coupled with Xiaoshuai's cursing in the street, it was very charming.

However, to put it bluntly, this thing is just for eye contact.

Money is hard to buy because you like it, if you fancy it, then you love it, just like when Lu Tinghan saw Shi Yuan in human form for the first time, he felt a sense of destiny.

It's just that Shi Yuan harvested the ugly fish, and Lu Tinghan harvested the little devil. Lu Tinghan helped feed the fish, Shi Yuan lay beside the fish tank watching, the two chatted about interesting things, it was another ordinary and warm day.

—However, with Xiaoshuai and Wretched Yu, the two crouching dragons and phoenixes, "Jade and jade are in front"...

When Yuan said that he wanted to raise cats and dogs, Lu Tinghan was suspicious.

"I rarely see these two kinds of animals." Shi Yuan held his tail and said, "Many people used to raise them in the documentary. Can I try it too?"

Today, life is stable, but cats and dogs are only affordable for wealthy families. First, the number is small, and second, the cost of living is high.

For Lu Tinghan, none of this was a problem.

After more than half a month, when Shi Yuan came home, he was pleasantly surprised to see an open cardboard box on the table, and the sound of scratching paws came from inside.

Looking closer, a fluffy blue and white kitten looked up at him: "Meow—"

Its eyes were dark and moist.

That night, Shi Yuan watched a movie with Kitten and Lu Tinghan in his arms.

The movie is about how people trained dogs to pull sleds in the past, and cats also appeared. They are always very quiet and proud, and they don't get along well with dogs.

Both Shi Yuan and Xiaomao finished reading carefully.

Lu Tinghan asked: "What name do you want to name it?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Shi Yuan replied, "Let's talk about it when you think about it!"

This thought lasted for many days.

The kitten was very cold towards Lu Tinghan, and would not answer, and always circled around Shi Yuan.

But raising a dog is not so smooth.

Somehow there are very few puppies this year, some of them have become military dog ​​reserves, and the rest have already been reserved by others. Lu Tinghan will not find a suitable one for a while.

He told Shi Yuan about it.

Shi Yuan was snoring in his arms, but when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "It doesn't have to be a puppy—big dogs are also cute and snoring."

So the question is, where did the big dog come from?

It was a coincidence that Lu Tinghan heard a friend mention a few days later that there was a retired military dog ​​that was not adopted and stayed in the military kennel all the time, quite lonely.

In the afternoon, Lu Tinghan went to the kennel.

The black dog was very old, with a large and powerful frame. It was old, lying lazily in the kennel, and wagging its tail clumsily after seeing Lu Tinghan.

Lu Tinghan looked at it for a few seconds and decided to take it home.

He thinks Shi Yuan will like it.

As expected, Shi Yuan got along well with it.

The black dog sleeps in the corner every day, and the kitten is alive and kicking around it, jumping on it to play, but it never gets angry, and patiently licks the kitten, covering its body with saliva. When Lu Tinghan went to the theater to pick up Shi Yuan, the two pushed the door open to go home, the milk cat would come to rub Shi Yuan, the black dog drooped its eyelids, walked over slowly, sticking out its tongue to show friendship.

— It would be more perfect if the black dog’s name wasn’t “Meow Meow”.

Probably his original owner's naming method is in the same line as Shi Yuan's master.

"It's called Meow Meow now," Shi Yuan said, "Then let's call our cat Wangcai!"

Lu Tinghan: "..."

He should have expected this day.

Shi Yuan seems to always meet strange things and strange people, even the animals he meets are strange.

So they had an old dog named Miaomiao and a kitten named Wangcai.

Occasionally, the old dog also wants to go for a walk.

After dinner, Lu Tinghan led the black dog, and the kitten was either nestled in Shi Yuan's hood, or stood on his shoulders—it was obedient and bold, pawing Shi Yuan, and looking at this thing that was too big for it. world.

The two walked hand in hand, walking slowly.

Lu Tinghan asked: "Shi Yuan, do you have any animals you want to raise?"

"Not for now." Shi Yuan said, "I like them very much!"

Shiyuan has both cats and dogs, and at the same time, the wretched fish at home are happily spitting bubbles, Xiaoshuai sings loudly, and calls other people's grandpas from time to time. Lu Tinghan was not interested in animals, but after all he had a domesticated grunting monster with a long tail, so there was nothing to complain about. The two are satisfied.

Lu Tinghan: "Shi Yuan."

"Um?"

Lu Tinghan hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Next time you get a pet, let me name it."
