Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Arrival in the capital Yanbugui: It’s so difficult to raise parrots…

In the early morning, the chirping of the early birds reaches the ears of the sleeping people before the artificial rustling.The gentle breeze and warm sunlight came together and spread into the room through the half-open screen window, making the face of the person sitting upright look a little softer.

After getting up early in the morning and practicing his swordplay and eating breakfast, Yan Bugui was wiping the blade with his head slightly lowered, performing daily maintenance and cleaning on his horizontal sword.His movements are skillful and steady, his mind is focused and serious, and he seems to be completely unaffected by the “noise” nearby.

The source of the “noise”, the little parrot Bai Renyu, seemed to have just woken up. He was standing staggeringly on the table, hanging his head and munching his exclusive ration until there was no nut left in the small bowl. He combed his feathers and said, “I forgive you, you heartless man!”

The swordsman did not respond immediately. After he pushed the blade into the scabbard and packed up the protective box, he said quietly: “When you get back, I will send you to Wanling Mountain Villa again. Learn how to speak human words. Don’t always use the wrong words and make people laugh.”

In Bairenyu, two sounds of “quack” are used to express dissatisfaction.But since it didn’t speak human words, Yan Bugui pretended that he didn’t understand the emotion it conveyed, and turned around and started packing the packages that served as his carry-on luggage.

Being ignored and treated coldly by her master, Xiaoyu suddenly stopped and pretended to cry: “I knew it! You are such a heartless man! When you have a new wife, you have to abandon your wretched wife! Wow – I’m so pitiful! As expected, I’ve always only seen new people smiling, but how can I hear old people crying!”

When Yan Bugui heard the words, he immediately flicked the little parrot’s head with his finger: “Isn’t it just that I ask you to speak less in front of others, and I can still choke you to death? What nonsense are you talking about here…”

Last night, he and his fellow travelers had a brief chat about the swordsmen, and they would soon disperse to find their own guest rooms to rest.But before leaving, Guo Xiang suddenly asked: “Brother Yan, it turns out your parrot can talk? But why was it so silent before? Huh? Why is there crying? Is… the parrot crying?”

Ever since Bai Renyu joined its owner, the swordsman has not allowed it to speak casually. It can only make two bird calls at most. Except for the snow feathers flying in the sky, no one around it can understand it. This makes the little parrot feel that “life is really lonely as snow.”Now when he heard someone speaking for him, he immediately covered his eyes with his wings and made a “wuwu” sound as if he was moved to tears.

Yan Bugui grabbed Xiao Yu who was standing on his shoulder and pretended to cry: “It can say some things, but it can’t understand the specific meaning of those words. After all, I don’t know where it heard some words. For example, I have never heard of the ‘scumbag’ it said before. As for when to speak human words and when not to speak, it seems to depend on my mood, and I can’t figure out the rules.”

As soon as the swordsman said this, Bai Renyu suddenly “quacked” twice. Even though he didn’t know what the specific meaning was, he could hear that the little parrot was probably protesting – the protest was obviously because he, the master, did not allow it to speak casually, but now the blame was thrown to the innocent it!In this regard, as the master, he naturally thought that he did not understand or understand.

Realizing that Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu looked a bit like juniors and juniors who had just joined the sect, they were tickled by these parrots that could speak human language. They always wanted to tease them to see if they could say a few more words. Yan Bugui tilted his head and thought for a while, then continued: “If you want to tease it, you should try again when you set off tomorrow. It’s too late today, and you’ve encountered a lot of things, so it’s better to rest early.”

Neither Guo Xiang nor Zuo Mingzhu has a unruly temper. The swordsman said so. They were a little embarrassed and naturally had no objection. They quickly said good night to each other and settled in their respective places.

As soon as Yan Bugui entered the room, he whispered to Bai Renyu: “If they really tease you tomorrow and you can’t bear it, it’s best to say less. Then, go word by word and don’t act like you really understand what people say.”

Because Bai Renyu only made two perfunctory “quacking” sounds at that time, he just accepted it reluctantly like a little parrot.Unexpectedly, when he woke up early the next morning, this little thing was hanging upside down by his bedside. When he woke up, he yelled at him “a heartless man” several times in a voice like an abandoned woman…

He asked speechlessly, “What’s wrong with you?”, but Bai Renyu seemed to have been waiting for him to ask for a long time, crying in tears that he had a “new person” – a new friend in the world, but he forgot about this “old person” and abused the “old person” for the sake of the “new person” – not allowing him to express himself freely and having to pretend to be stupid.

Yan Bugui listened to Bai Renyu’s “feud” drama while washing up, and asked in a normal tone: “You didn’t react when I told you last night, and now you’re acting like this – maybe you spent the whole night thinking about how to act, right?”

Bai Renyu immediately replied: “What else? What else?”

The corners of Yan Bugui’s lips moved and he chose to deal with it coldly. He silently ran out to practice his sword without any further feedback.When it is practicing its sword practice, Bai Renyu usually stays quiet – otherwise, he is afraid that if it is not quiet, all its feathers will be scraped off by the light of the sword!This delay was until the swordsman returned to the guest room and fed the little parrot a dish of its favorite nuts. The result was that he heard it say “forgive”.

Yan Bugui looked at the little parrot that was shaking its head after being flicked by him, and sighed helplessly.He has raised Bai Renyu since it was a parrot egg. After so many years, he has a fairly good understanding of this little parrot’s temperament. He knows that it is noisy and playful, but he has never disliked it and allowed it to be indulged.Of course, he is not completely free-spirited. He will also choose to discipline Bai Renyu if he makes too much noise.

He knows that Bai Renyu likes to talk, and some like to shout a few times to show his presence, so under normal circumstances he doesn’t restrict Xiaoyu very much.However, this is not their original world. There are magical beasts and strange beasts running around – well, well, they don’t seem to be everywhere.

Anyway, according to his observation, this place is different from theirs. There are very few spiritual animals. The most mysterious one is the strange eagle next to the Condor Hero. Others are very ordinary.Compared with its kind, Xiaoyu seems a bit too prominent in this world – although it is also a bit eye-catching over there.

Maybe it was because he brought the parrot eggs back to Penglai for hatching, and then took Xiaoyu to Penglai to visit Xie Donghai every month. Xie Donghai would occasionally feed it some delicious food… This little parrot absorbed some of Penglai’s spiritual energy, and its combat power did not increase much, but it became smarter than its brothers and sisters in the same nest.

Moreover, this little thing also likes to fly around on his own, which makes him a little worried that Xiaoyu will be captured if someone misses him – the little parrot is not as powerful as Xue Ling and can protect himself.With Bai Renyu’s strength, even if he stood and let it scratch and bite him, even if he spent a few hours, it wouldn’t even be able to break through his inner energy!

“What are you thinking about? What are you thinking about?” Bai Renyu didn’t know if he really knew how to read people’s faces or if he had an intuition. When the swordsman secretly questioned the cricket’s combat power, he quickly shouted out alertly, interrupting more unfriendly imaginations about the little parrot.

“Anyway, please restrain yourself.” Yan Bugui keenly noticed some slight noises coming from the nearby rooms. He guessed that some of his companions had woken up. He told the hundred people again in a nonchalant manner, then put on his hat and prepared to go out.

Bai Renyu flapped her wings and flew behind the swordsman, and whispered in his ear: “Even your brother Xie didn’t restrict my performance! The old master didn’t care about me, how can the young master be so ignorant at such a young age!”

“Brother Xie is too lazy to care about you!” Yan Bugui’s veins twitched, “He doesn’t care whether you are caught or eaten. He hopes that you will die because of an ‘accident’ one day!”

Xie Donghai had always been non-committal about the fact that he went to the Sword Sect alone to become a disciple and came back with an extra parrot.His brother Xie’s attitude towards Bai Renyu was dispensable. He could keep it if he wanted to. If it suddenly disappeared, Xie Donghai didn’t care whether he kept another one or stopped raising it.

The outward manifestation is that although Xie Donghai would verbally threaten Bai Renyu when Bai Renyu made too much noise, he never actually took any action. On the contrary, if the owner Yan Bugui was really angry, he would ruthlessly punish the parrot by depriving it of water and food and locking it in a dark room.

Yan Bugui didn’t bother to tell the little parrot something like “Only those who really care about your life and death can’t help but teach you a lesson”. Anyway, Bai Renyu may not really be able to understand it, and even if he does, he will pretend that he doesn’t understand it – what’s the point of love? Anyway, now that he is watching, if Xiaoyu really makes trouble, he can tell the truth in time.

.

Several members of the team heading north got up very early. After Yan Bugui took Bai Renyu out, they saw Bai Youjin and others waking up one after another. Even Tie Shou, who arrived at the inn after three o’clock last night, did not delay his trip. Regarding the murder case last night, he did not reveal much, but simply mentioned that the local government would handle it, and others did not ask any more questions.

After breakfast, the group got on the boat on time and continued towards the capital along the quietly flowing Grand Canal.While chatting in the cabin, Guo Xiang still tried to make Bai Renyu talk with melon seeds, walnuts and other nuts that she didn’t know where to buy.

Unfortunately, the little parrot that was still calling its owner a “heartless man” in the morning suddenly became “cold” and looked like it would “not eat the food that came to it” – it is unclear whether it was too full to eat before.

Anyway, Xiaoyu didn’t eat or say anything all the way down. She just stood aside and combed her feathers indifferently from time to time, which made Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu a little disappointed, and the nuts ended up in their stomachs.

They were talking and laughing, and sure enough, as the boatman said, the group of them entered the capital smoothly at the last moment when the city gate was closed that night – the lights on the long street were like dragons swimming in the stars, endless; BMWs and carved cars flowed endlessly, merchants and vendors competed with each other; teahouses, restaurants, dance pavilions and singing stages, various buildings with red walls and blue tiles were dazzling… What a lively and prosperous city that never sleeps!

Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu, two young girls who came to the capital for the first time, exclaimed “wow”. Even Bai Youjin, who had always been calm, was shocked when he saw such a prosperous scene, and could not help but reveal some real emotions.

Yan Bugui’s performance seemed too calm at this time – it was only when Tie Shou vaguely looked at him that he realized belatedly that when he came from “overseas” and faced this city that should be the largest and most prosperous in the Central Plains, theoretically he should not have a normal appearance that had seen the world.However, after thinking about it, he felt that he was not good at acting, so he simply stopped acting.

Bai Youjin, who was only distracted for a moment, also noticed the swordsman’s subtle reaction at this moment. He was thoughtful in his heart, but he still didn’t show it on the surface, but suddenly asked: “Young Master Yan, where is your brother in the capital, and you are going to look for your brother now?”

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, recalling that the information he received mentioned the inn where Liu Yuan had recently stayed, so he told the name of the inn on the spot: “I heard that he lived here before, but I don’t know if he is still here now.”

After hearing this, Tie Shou took the initiative to mention: “I know the location. And some of you also need a place to rest. Why don’t you let me lead the way?”

Yan Bugui immediately clasped his fists and thanked him: “Then there is Mr. Lao Tie.”
