Chapter 11: .Fat Bird Ahuang and the Silent Girl

Time always flies very fast during the busy schedule.
Nearly a month after school started, Jie Hai had gradually become accustomed to such a busy day on both sides. The work in the Magic Bookstore is interesting and happy, and the college life seems to be calm, except for occasional annoying encounters, everything is stable and stable.
On this day at the end of October, Jie Hai finally got his first month's salary from the store manager. He held up the yellow one-dollar gold coin with a beaming eyebrow and looked around for a long time. He was reluctant to put it in his pocket.
After taking care of himself, Yuno took a gray and white professor uniform from the closet and put it on, and put forward a small black medical box. He turned around and saw that the little helper was still looking like a hopeless pair. He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "Okay. Cai fan, I have something to tell you."
Jie Hai hurriedly stuffed the gold coin into the inner pocket of his shirt and stood well and waited for the next step.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Yuno's eyes, and he pondered for a while and slowly said, "Recently...I will be busy. I may not be able to come here again for the time being. The bookstore will be temporarily handed over to you!"
"This... can I do it?" Jie Hai hesitated.
"Don't worry!" The little store manager smiled and patted his arm. "You have been doing this work in the store for a month. What else can't you understand? There are not many customers anyway, if something happens. If you can't go away, it doesn't matter if you come back in a day or two, you can't get out of the basket!
"Good Le! Then wrap it on me!"
The little shopkeeper looked at his energetic appearance and smiled with satisfaction, and he secretly rejoiced that he found a helper in time, otherwise it would be really troublesome now. Thinking of this, he waved his hand to Jiehai to encourage him, and left the restaurant with a loud sound of leather boots.
It was already night, and the restaurant on the first floor was empty and empty for a long time. Jie Hai turned and sat in the bar, took out the gold coin from his pocket, and compared it to the dim light. "The real gold coin...hehe!" The first gold coin in his life made him excited and uncontrollable. He kept thinking about how to use it, but he felt a little reluctant.
Just as he was immersed in the troubles of happiness, a faint, shrill voice suddenly came from the second floor. The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the roof in a puzzled manner. The voice was erratic and erratic, completely inaudible.
"It's all this time...Are there any guests staying upstairs?" Jie Hai couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The guests in the bookstore don’t seem to have the habit of reading at night. Usually, only one of them is left at this time. Could it be said that any guest can't leave after an accident? "Let's go and see..." Thinking of this, he jumped off the swivel chair and walked upstairs gently along the wooden ladder.
The beautiful little garden on the second floor of the bookstore in the daytime changed its appearance at night. The dense bushes were dark and lacquered, and there was no starlight on the glass ceiling. Only the white pillar lights stood on both sides of the gravel road, shining dimly.
Jie Hai stood at the entrance of the stairs and listened to it for a long time, but the sound suddenly disappeared like a teenager's hallucination. There was silence around, not even the slightest sound of wind was heard, and there was a gloomy chill.
"Is anyone? Does anyone need help?" Jie Hai asked loudly and then waited for a while. There was still no movement in the garden.
"Strange...Is it a mistake..." The young man patted his forehead, and then went around the round house to check carefully, but he didn't see any figures. Finally, he shook his head and turned and walked downstairs.
Jie Hai walked back to the bar slowly, but as soon as he sat down, he heard the high-pitched voice again, this time with the sound of gentle footsteps. "Who is making a prank..." The young man was a little annoyed by the weird sound. Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, he stood in front of the counter and stared at the stairs with his sleeves and hands, and waited for someone with no expression on his face. .
After a while, the thin voice above the restaurant came with footsteps, and it gradually became clear and audible.
"Xiao Miyou, let's not go to the manor this time! There is only seafood over there, and the bird is tired of eating."
"Uh... can you not mention diarrhea! This bird is just careless! Careless!"
"No! Absolutely not! This bird knows that Yun Xuan is still there, so I don't want to look at his stinky face..."
"Uh... this, this... let this bird think about it..."
"Yes, let's go to Little Yuno! This bird heard that their family just picked a batch of sweet and dead red dense fruits, that taste...hehe..."
"Don't want to be a vegetarian?...Xiao Miyou, picky eaters are not good! You see this bird is such a beautiful body, handsome, and invincible in the universe! That's because this bird is never picky!"
"Uh... charcoal... charcoal grilled scorpion, next time, next time..."
Jie Hai pricked his ears and listened to this nonsensical muttering to himself, feeling more and more baffled, unable to guess the identity of that person. At this time, I saw a figure walking slowly from the top of the stairs.
Under the dim yellow light, a slender girl was standing on the narrow stairs. She looks very young, only thirteen or fourteen years old. Wearing a light blue tulle skirt, a long dark purple shawl over the jacket, a white silk scarf tied with a bow on the chest, the skirt will cover the knees, and light purple soft cloth boots on the feet.
The girl’s short purple hair was softly curled around her ears, her facial features were a little blurred in the dim light, Jie Hai only saw the big eyes on her slightly fat baby face, the delicate nose, and almost invisible Little mouth.
There was a big white bird standing on the girl's left shoulder, her long tail feathers dragged to the girl's waist, and the round belly under the high feather crest was particularly eye-catching. Jie Hai watched in astonishment at the white bird talking to himself. It turned out that the shrill voice came from its mouth.
The girl seemed to have noticed the existence of Jie Hai. She stopped on the stairs and turned her head blankly, looking at the boy motionlessly, as if she had seen something incredible with her concentration.
"What's the matter, Xiao Miyou?" Shiratori said for a long time but saw the girl staring forward without any response. He turned around a little strangely. It glanced at the sea of ​​bounds by the bar, and immediately slammed into the fan. The wings flew towards him.
"Hey! Kid!" Fat Bird landed on the bar with a grin and glanced at Jie Hai, and asked in a sharp voice, "Where did you come out? How come this bird has never seen you? Just tell the truth!"
Jiehai was stunned by its repeated questions. He looked at the arrogant white bird in front of him, and he thought nonchalantly: "...This bookstore is too strange, not only can the puppet speak, but Birds can talk...I don’t know if I can talk even with books anymore.
He was stunned for a long time and glanced at the the stairs, thinking that he couldn’t fight with a bird, so he lowered his posture and replied. , "I am the new waiter from the bookstore, this...Mr. Bird, I'm afraid we have never seen each other. Are you...?"
"Why doesn't Ben bird know that there is a new waiter? I don't even know Ben bird?!" Fat Bird asked with squinting eyes, "Who let you come? Why didn't I tell Ben bird? It's too shameful!" Shiratori seemed very annoyed when he said that, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew to the head of Jie Hai, trampling his short light-colored hair into a grass nest.
"Ah! What are you doing!" Jie Hai was caught off guard, and felt his head sank. He quickly reached out to get the fat bird off, but he was pecked instead. The pain made him slap his hands and gasp.
The scene was chaotic, but the girl called "Miyou" whispered very softly: "Ahuang... the morning of the 6th..." This babble-like voice instantly silenced Fat Bird. It rounded its eyes and turned to look at the girl, flapping its wings and flying back to the desktop.
"Morning on the 6th... You said that, as if Yuno mentioned this to this bird that day..." The rude Shiratori realized that he had blamed others, but had no intention of repentance. It stretched out its wings. He held his hand under his mouth in a decent manner in a thoughtful manner, rolled his eyes and shouted at Jie Hai, "Boy, stretch out your hand! Stretch out! Hurry up!"
Jie Hai was bending over there and running his hair down, glanced at the Fat Bird unhappily, and stretched his right hand in front of it reluctantly. Shiratori glanced into the palm of his hand, and nodded in satisfaction after seeing the shallow Phoenix coat of arms.
"Kid, listen well!" It shook its wings, raised its neck high, and walked on the bar with its fleshy little belly. "This bird is Ah Huang! This bookstore is the site of this bird." If your kid wants to hang out here, you have to understand the rules! Understand?"
"Rules? What rules?" Jie Hai rubbed the still aching back of his hand, and cast a blank glance at the dragging little guy, not agreeing.
"The rule is... if you have something delicious, you have to keep a copy of it! You want something delicious! Understand?"
"Eat?" Jie Hai was a little surprised when he heard this. He pointed to the kitchen next to the bar and asked inexplicably, "Isn't there a kitchen in the store? If you want to eat something, just ask for it!"
As soon as the voice fell, the little puppet who heard the sound in the kitchen immediately shouted "Dangdan! Dangdan!" and ran out automatically and stopped in front of the sea to wait for instructions.
"Nonsense! Wouldn't it be possible to order this bird?" Ahuang flew angrily to the puppet's head and jumped his feet, "How do you say this bird writes an order! How to write an order!"
Jie Hai looked at the angry little guy and laughed. He stepped forward and squatted down to look at his eyes, and asked kindly: "Then, should I help you? What do you want to eat?"
"Uh..." Shiratori was stunned. It stared at the young man, and seemed to be waving its wings embarrassingly, "Forget it, forget it, that bad old man doesn't bother to help this bird!"
"Old man?" Jie Hai heard that he was puzzled again. At this moment, a girl's gentle urging voice came from behind him again: "Ahuang...before nine o'clock..."
The voice seemed to be ringing in his ears, and Jie Hai always felt a familiar sense of deja vu and couldn't help turning his head to look. The slender girl had already stood in front of the kitchen door, and looked at her face blankly and tilted her head. Jie Hai was surprised by the light to find that her purple pupils were empty, as if lifeless.
When the teenager stared at the girl silly and looked up, there was a tingling sensation on her head. "Ouch!" He hurriedly reached out and rubbed his head, then looked up and saw Ah Huang flying in the air angrily and staring at him.
"Hey! Boy! Don't think about hitting Miyou's bad idea! Have you heard it! Have you heard it! Otherwise, don't blame this bird for being rude to you!" Fat Bird roared at Jiehai and flew back to the girl's shoulder. He took a look at Miyou, and he leaned over and glanced at the young man as if worried, and hummed a rough anger in his nose.
"Hey... don't talk nonsense about good or bad, who made a bad idea!" Jie Hai grumbled unhappily. He glanced at the girl again, but a strange sense of intimacy emerged in his heart.
The girl named Miyou still looked expressionless, like a delicate white porcelain doll. She turned her head to look at Shiratori and urged again softly: "Ahuang..."
"Okay, let's go now! Let's go!" Ahuang hurriedly responded, turned his head and gave the young man a fierce look.
Miyou took the white bird and walked slowly towards the gate. Jiehai stood by the bar and looked at her back. Suddenly, the ghost cried out loudly: "Be careful on the way, Miss Miyou!"
The girl turned her head back after hearing the words, she blinked and looked at the boy, there was no wave in her purple pupils. Then she walked to the door without saying a word and disappeared in the mysterious purple light.
Jiehai and the little puppet Dandan were left in the hall. The young man frowned as if he was still annoyed by the strange emotions in his heart. He suddenly heard him yell "Oh" and patted his forehead, a few steps ran into the private room, opened his schoolbag and started homework.
"Weird... I didn't see anyone coming in... Where did they come from?" The boy was writing his homework like an enclave, while thinking wildly in his head, "And I don't even know that girl... Why Will there be a particularly familiar feeling again? It's so strange!"
The little puppet on the side was still waiting for the exact instructions. It turned its head from time to time to stare at the young man in the private room, and its big blue eyes were filled with uncertainty.
The silence in the hall was restored again, and only the rustling of the young man's writing and writing was heard. The soft yellow light shone on his head, with a slight trembling shadow, lighting up this lonely but extremely peaceful night.
