Among all the parrots, budgerigars were the most common species. They originated from the inland areas of Australia, and after genetic modification, they were bred in large numbers in China.
Because of their large numbers, budgerigars were the cheapest, and many people regarded them as beginner pet birds.
However, few people knew that budgerigars could talk.
Budgerigars were rarely seen on the market, because to master the skill of talking, the breeder had to put in a lot of patience and effort in the early stage, and there was a high risk of failure.
The success rate was at most one in five, and it could only speak a dozen sentences at most. Compared to the value of the budgerigar itself, it was not worth it at all. With the time and effort, why not train better and more valuable parrots?
However, even if the budgerigar was trained to talk, it was absolutely impossible for it to be so smart and speak so fluently!
It was simply incredible!
Sun, the owner of the pet shop, felt that he was going to have a heart attack.
Only half a minute ago, he was secretly laughing at Zuo Yi for being a fool, spending 30 yuan to buy this sick bird that was about to die.
He never thought that things would take such an incredible turn.
How much was this budgerigar worth now?
Sun's brain twitched, and he couldn't give an accurate estimate, but at least two or three zeros should be added after 30.
The scene of the budgerigar flying and speaking attracted a lot of attention, including the people in the pet shop next door and across the street. Everyone was curious and surprised.
Bao'er didn't realize that she had become the focus of attention. Her attention was all on the little parrot on her shoulder. She turned her head and emphasized, "I really can't guess."
The budgerigar giggled again and said, "I'll tell you later."
Bao'er gave it a "you are so annoying" look, but then asked, "What's your name?"
The budgerigar jumped on her shoulder and said, "I don't have a name yet. Bao'er, can you give me a name?"
"Okay …"
Bao'er thought about it and said, "Pipi, then I'll call you Pipi from now on!"
Papa said it was a budgerigar, and then it looked very naughty. If it was naughty and cheeky, it would be a Pipi!
"Okay, okay!"
The budgerigar jumped even more happily, and said in a clear and melodious voice, "From now on, my name is Pipi!"
It rubbed itself against the little girl again. "Thank you, Bo'er!"
The Bao'er giggled. "It tickles."
She didn't even notice that her interaction with the Pipi had completely stunned the surrounding passersby.
F * ck, didn't they say that spirits were not allowed after the founding of the country? What's going on?!
Old Man Sun's eyes were sluggish, and his throat was making a "ho ho" sound. His hands were trembling as if he was having a stroke. It made people suspect that his blood vessels would burst at any time and he would be lying on the ground.
The middle-aged shopkeeper next door regained some of his composure. He picked up the teacup on the ground and saw Old Man Sun's mournful appearance. He laughed gloatingly.
Whether it was Hunchback Sun who sold his treasure as trash, or someone else who had the ability to turn something rotten into something magical, this incident was enough to be talked about for years. It would continue to be talked about in the West Market for a long time.
As someone who had personally experienced this incident, not only did he see Old Man Sun make a fool of himself, but he would also have a lot to talk about at the dinner table in the future!
"Baby."
Zuo Yi saw that more and more people were watching, so he touched the little girl's head and said, "Let's go."
The Bao'er nodded. "Okay!"
She couldn't help but reach out and gently touch her new little friend's feathers.
Pipi was very cooperative and enjoyed her touch.
Woof!
Teck, who felt that it had been left out, barked unhappily. It looked up at the Bao'er pitifully and wagged its little tail quickly.
Bao'er, Bao'er, you can't forget your old love just because you have a new pet!
The Bao'er, of course, couldn't forget Atay, so she quickly patted its head to comfort its wounded soul.
Atay, Atay, we will always be best friends!
This time, it was the Pipi's turn to be unhappy. It tilted its head and looked down at Teck, who was acting cute, with eyes full of contempt.
However, Teck happened to see its little eyes and immediately became angry. Woof, woof!
Damn bird, just wait and see!
Pipi looked at it with disdain. So scared!
"Okay …"
The Bao'er felt the "murderous intent" between the two little friends and quickly said, "Let's go."
She didn't forget that she came here to sell things with her father.
"Wait!"
Just as Zuo Yi was about to leave with the Bao'er, Old Man Sun woke up from his dream and jumped over to block their way.
"What's wrong?"
Zuo Yi said with a faint smile, "Mr. Sun, are you going back on your word?"
Although the Xixi Underground Market was not an underground black market, there was a rule that was the same as a black market, and it was a written rule.
That was, there was no regret in trading. If you bought too much, you couldn't return it, and if you sold it too cheaply, you couldn't regret it. Both parties relied on their own abilities. If you didn't have good eyesight and ability, you couldn't complain even if you suffered a loss.
This rule was made into a signboard and hung at the entrance of the market. As long as you weren't blind, anyone who came in could see it.
"No, no, no …"
Old Man Sun waved his hands and shook his head like a rattle-drum. He was running a business here, not a street stall. Reputation was very important, and he definitely couldn't do things that violated the rules.
No matter how much this budgerigar was worth, it was Zuo Yi's!
Old Man Sun was also an experienced person. He quickly realized that there was another reason why he stopped Zuo Yi.
"Mister, no, Master!"
Old Man Sun lowered his posture as he nodded and bowed, revealing a flattering smile. "Your ability is really too amazing. This old man has never seen anything like it in his entire life. Today, we are fated to meet. Grandmaster, can you leave me your contact information?"
He thought very clearly that he didn't misjudge the budgerigar today. This bird was just an ordinary sick bird that was about to die, and Zuo Yi was the real master!
Old Man Sun had lived for sixty or seventy years, and he had heard and seen some strange people when he was wandering around. He guessed that Zuo Yi had some special ability to train birds, and that was why he could turn something rotten into something magical.
As for whether this ability was scientific or not, he didn't want to find out. As long as Zuo Yi had this ability, it was worth it for him to curry favor with him.
Imagine, if every budgerigar could be trained to be so smart and smart by Zuo Yi, and speak Mandarin better than humans, how much money could he make?
Hunchback Sun didn't ask for a share of the profits. If he could run errands for the master and drink some soup, it would be a hundred times better than what he was doing now.
However, Zuo Yi chuckled and held Bao 'er's hand as they walked around the other party.
Zuo Yi was well aware of Old Man Sun's thoughts. How could he possibly care about it?
In fact, Zuo Yi didn't have any special ability to make this budgerigar recover in an instant, and make it become smart and eloquent. It was because he had other methods.
Just now, Zuo Yi fed the Pipi half a drop of the Water of Life and half a drop of the Water of Wisdom.
The Water of Life, the Water of Wisdom, the Water of Youth, the Water of Luck, and the Water of Soul were the most mysterious five holy springs in the world of Sadeya. Each of them had incredible effects.
The Water of the Water of Life could greatly increase one's vitality, delay aging, and improve one's physique.
The Water of Wisdom could increase one's intelligence, the Water of Youth could preserve one's youth forever, the Water of Luck could improve one's luck, and the Water of Soul could repair one's soul.
Zuo Yi was one of the few people in the world of Sadeya. He might even be the only person who had all five holy springs at the same time!
However, he didn't have much of the holy spring water left. Every time he used it, it would be used up.
If it wasn't for the Bird 'er, Zuo Yi wouldn't have taken out such precious Water of Life and Water of Wisdom to save a budgerigar, even if it was just half a drop.
Zuo Yi planned to leave most of the holy spring water stored in the space ring for the Bird 'er in the future.
Therefore, even if Old Man Sun knelt on the ground and begged, it was useless.
Moreover, Zuo Yi didn't have any good feelings for this old sly fox who only knew how to talk big.
"Master, Master!"
Old Man Sun didn't dare to chase after them. He could only watch as Zuo Yi disappeared into the bustling crowd with the Bird 'er.
He stomped his feet and felt that he had lost a hundred million. It was a heart-wrenching pain!
