Lucky Blind Box Shop

Chapter 122
Shitou filled the bowl with water and left it overnight. When he got up in the morning, he saw that the water bowl was still full, so he told his father that the bowl was not leaking, and the bird might have drunk it.

Shitou's father didn't believe it, even if there were six sparrows, it was impossible to drink a bowl of water, but the ground was not wet.

The third prince heard the conversation between the father and son, and motioned for the guards to make some noise.

"Father, you see that the sparrows are making a fuss, maybe they are thirsty, we will know if we stare at them and drink."

Seeing that his father agreed, Shitou first went to close the doors and windows tightly, and then opened the basket.

The third prince was already thirsty, and when he saw the water, he rushed to drink it. This miraculous amount of water also caused Shi Shi to exclaim.

"Father, this little sparrow is so good to drink. I want to take it out to show Hutougouwa and the others, okay?"

The third prince ordered the other three sparrows to write characters with their paws on the ground last night, but the room was paved with adobe bricks, relying on the sparrows' paws, they could only make a character "herringbone" in one night.

Fortunately, they were lucky. This family was indeed illiterate, but Dad Shitou happened to know herringbone, because he was delivering food to Renju, so he knew each other every day.

Father Shitou has already started to think wrongly. These six sparrows can't fly, they can write, and they drink water so fiercely. They must be birds raised by some noble family.It would be fine if I didn’t eat those two, but I already ate them and roasted them in the yard. The neighbors could have smelled them yesterday. When someone asked, he said that the stone caught two sparrows and showed off for a moment.If the nobleman knew that he ate his bird, Father Shishi couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing that Shi Shi was still scooping up water to feed the birds, Shi Shi’s father told him: “When someone asks you when you go out, just say that you shot two birds yesterday, do you know? Later, you can catch some worms and feed them. Let them go."

After instructing his son, Dad Shitou hurried out to find out if anyone was looking for the lost bird.

Seeing this, the third prince felt that his life was saved for the time being, so he sat down on the ground.Stone looked at it and found it amusing. He had never seen a bird sitting on the ground with its paws stretched out.

Seeing that the birds had stopped drinking, Shi Shi stuffed them back into the basket, went out to catch a few bugs, and came back to watch them eat.

A few people have been hungry all night, and they only drank a lot of water just now.Just such a short period of hunger can't reach the point where people can eat worms, but if they don't eat them, the small hands of the stone are already eager to try, and it seems that they are about to grab them and force them.

The third prince hurriedly asked the other three people to eat the bug, and the guards didn't hesitate. They hadn't eaten anything since they were training, so they obediently walked over and ate it.

But the doctor was unwilling, and he didn't sell himself to the third prince. At worst, he would change his face and go to other places to develop, so he ignored the third prince at all.He felt that he had been implicated by the third prince. If he didn't have any medicine on him now, he would have wished to kill the third prince with the medicine. Maybe someone would let him go when he died.

Shitou's father spent the whole morning inquiring outside, but he didn't hear that anyone had lost a bird, so he felt relieved.Maybe it was not raised by others, but you found the treasure yourself?He also heard that rich people like to raise some birds. If these birds can be sold to rich people, will they be worth some money?
Dad Shitou was not willing to buy a birdcage, it was not cheap, so he went to a carpenter he knew and made a simple wooden cage, as long as the bird couldn't get out, it cost 50 renminbi.

This bird can't just perform drinking water, writing is the highlight.But the pens, inks, papers and inkstones are too expensive. In Shitou's father's heart, those few birds might not be able to sell them for the pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

When he walked to the door of Renrenju, Shitou's father slapped his head, how could the bird hold a pen, it was all writing on the ground.Just go get some ink, have to go back and try if they are just a coincidence or can they really write.

He was willing to give him a bowl of ink after talking with the shopkeeper of Renrenju, and advised him that the cost of studying was too high, and it was enough to let the children recognize a few commonly used characters.

Dad Shitou almost said that it was for the bird to write, but after thinking about it, he hadn't gone back to confirm it. If it was an oolong, it would be embarrassing to say it.

After running home, Father Shitou said to the third prince and the others: "If you can write, just write a few, and I will find you a good home. If you can't write, then you can only eat roasted sparrows."

After finishing speaking, he laughed at himself for being crazy, and even talked to the bird.

Unexpectedly, these sparrows really started to write, and the third prince couldn't care less about getting his feet dirty. If he didn't write, this person thought he couldn't, so what would he do if he ate himself.Although Shitou's father is illiterate, he looks like a different character.

"I don't know how to read, please write some characters to see."

A few sparrows listened, and wrote human characters on the floor tiles.

Only then did Shitou confirm that he had found the treasure.

Shi Shi didn't want his father to take these birds away, and he wanted to show off to his friends, but when he heard that they could buy meat for him after they were sold, he immediately agreed.

Father Shitou knew in his heart that if he carried the bird to the market, nine times out of ten he would not be able to sell it at a high price, and if not, he would be snatched away by the hooligans. After cooking for so long, it can be regarded as acquaintance.

The shopkeeper heard that Wang Er, who delivered vegetables to his restaurant, was going to sell rare birds, so he became interested and asked someone to take Wang Er to the back.

When I entered the house, I saw Wang Er put a wooden cage on the table. Looking again, isn't this a sparrow?I was not happy at the time, did the buddy still wink, did he feel that sparrows were rare because he had never seen the world?
Seeing the change in the shopkeeper's face, Wang Er knew something was wrong, and quickly said, "Shopkeeper, I am not an ordinary sparrow. They can drink water and can write."

Although the shopkeeper didn't believe it, his complexion became better. If it was true as he said, it could indeed be called rare.

"Did you take the ink back and drink it? Have you learned to make up stories after seeing you for a while?"

Wang Er was a little anxious, but he was so clumsy that he didn't know what to say.

The shopkeeper was also amused, "Okay, let them write one for me."

After speaking, he brought out an empty account book, and was about to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, when Wang Er said that he had brought ink.The shopkeeper saw that this was not given to him by himself, "You came here to ask for ink just to let the sparrow write?"

"Yes, they wrote a lot of characters. It's a pity that the villain doesn't know each other. The villain can recognize personal characters. I wrote it down after delivering food to your house every day." Open the cage and let the sparrow out.

These sparrows came out one by one, and they didn't want to run away. One dipped the ink in the bowl, and hopped to the notebook to write on one leg. The other three stood beside them, just like the three attendants.

Seeing what was written on the paper, the shopkeeper's eyes widened. A sparrow dipped its paw in ink and wrote on the paper: "Help me, I am the Third Prince."
