After reading the news, Zhang Zian noticed that the news was released in 2009. It was a very old piece of news. He exited the browser and stared at the scenery passing by outside the window. He was a little lost in thought. The four-year-old girl at that time was now a young girl. Had she recovered from pneumonia and asthma? Did she have any sequelae? Most importantly, had she gotten rid of the shadow left by the pigeons and welcomed the bright sunshine again?
He thought it was very possible. She was only four years old at that time. Kids were good at forgetting. It was not a bad thing to be good at forgetting. In order to move forward, sometimes you need to forget some terrible and terrible memories.
Zhang Zian looked at Guo Dongyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat. He could only see his side face from the back seat. His eyes were closed and his face was very tight. Zhang Zian couldn't tell what he was feeling. His mother was also forgetting, but she was forgetting indiscriminately. Whether it was good or bad, she would forget everything, and it was an irreversible forgetting.
Woo woo —
Along with the whistle, the flock of pigeons flew over their heads again. Bathing in the rising sunshine, it made people yearn for freedom.
"So annoying!" Jamie whispered.
"Ah, I am not talking about you!" she apologized to Zhang Zian. "Bird poop fell on the car again! I am so angry!" She pointed at the white and green sticky stuff on the front windshield.
Zhang Zian smiled, "How unlucky."
"Isn't that right? I don't know what happened today, but the flock of pigeons seems to be flying over our heads all the time. Do any of you have something delicious with you? "she joked.
"I don't have it with me." Zhang Zian patted his pocket to show his innocence.
"Haha, maybe my new perfume has a miraculous effect!" She laughed heartily.
To avoid misunderstanding, she quickly pointed at a small bottle on the center console, "It is not my perfume. It is the new car perfume."
"Oh." Zhang Zian smiled to cooperate.
The flock of pigeons in the sky seemed to have finally given up chasing them. After circling a few times, they made a big turn. The melodious whistle was getting farther and farther away.
Zhang Zian looked back and stared at their trajectory until they disappeared at the end of his sight.
"By the way, are there any pigeons in the Phoenix House?" He returned to the main topic.
She thought for a moment and answered uncertainly, "I don't think I've seen pigeons. Most of the birds there are parrots. All kinds of parrots, colorful and dazzling."
Guo Dongyue opened his eyes, "Do you have any lovebirds?"
"Uh …" She quickly glanced at Guo Dongyue. He hadn't said a word since she got in the car. This man looked like a handsome uncle, and he had a melancholy temperament. He should be very popular with girls, but why didn't she notice him just now?
"Sorry, I don't know much about the species of parrots, so I can't tell what a lovebird is." She said apologetically. At the same time, she guessed that this person was the mastermind, and the pet shop owner in the back row was either his friend or someone he had asked to help.
Guo Dongyue closed his eyes again.
Jamie stuck out his tongue and seemed to understand the reason. Although this man was handsome, his presence was quite low, and he gave off a cold feeling. Although this kind of handsome and cold male character was very popular in novels, and she had been infatuated with him for a period of time, in reality … he really wasn't her cup of tea.
"Since you are going to buy birds, you should know better, right?" She said to the front, "I used to drive customers there to buy birds, but I didn't understand the professional terms they used."
"Well … I know a little." Zhang Zian really didn't know much about parrots, so he didn't sound confident.
She thought Zhang Zian was just being modest. After all, she knew that he ran a pet shop, so he should know everything about pets.
"We are almost there." She stared at the front and reminded him. The car gradually slowed down. After carefully looking at the rearview mirror, she turned the steering wheel and drove off the main road.
Zhang Zian stretched his neck and looked forward. There was a large flat building shining in the morning sun.
It was about 30 kilometers away from the city, and there were no residential areas. There was only a gas station, a small wholesale market for building materials, and a few rows of warehouses nearby. Looking further, there were cultivated lands in the winter break. At the end of the horizon were rolling hills. Because it was late autumn, the grass and trees were withered, and it looked very desolate.
As the distance shortened, the large building became clearer and clearer. Its appearance was not very eye-catching. The main body looked like a large supermarket, with rows of semi-cylindrical domes covering it. From afar, it looked like a vegetable greenhouse in a farmland. The domes were made of aluminum alloy and tempered glass, which was beautiful and strong.
"Is this the Phoenix House?" Zhang Zian confirmed.
Guo Dongyue also opened her eyes and looked at the glass domes with the critical eyes of a designer.
"Yes. Look, isn't it written there?" The female driver pointed at the door of the building and said.
Sure enough, four big red characters were inlaid at the door of the building — Phoenix House. In addition, there was a line of small English characters corresponding to the Chinese characters — Phoenix House.
The Phoenix House was surrounded by evergreen shrubs, which created an abundance of greenery in the desolate area.
When the car stopped in front of the Phoenix House, Zhang Zian realized that the size of the Phoenix House was bigger than it looked. There were no other large buildings around for comparison, so the impression was distorted.
Zhang Zian and Guo Dongyue got out of the car and thanked the driver.
She also waved at Fina and Snowy Lionet, and then drove away.
The two of them stood at the door for a while, but no one came to greet them, so they had to walk to the entrance by themselves.
The entrance was a sliding glass door with a layer of gauze in the middle. As they walked further inside, there was another similar door. When they opened the second door, they suddenly heard a lot of noises, as if they had suddenly entered a vibrant tropical rainforest!
All kinds of chirping sounds came from all directions, penetrating their eardrums from every orifice!
Whoosh!
A flock of brightly colored birds flew quickly over their heads.
They were caught off guard, and instinctively lowered their bodies. Zhang Zian even covered his head with his hands.
Fina and Snowy Lionet were not surprised. They looked at them with disdain, and then stared at the flock of birds flying over.
An employee in a light blue uniform saw them and walked over quickly.
"Hello, how can I help you?" Although he was asking Zhang Zian, his eyes were staring at Fina and Snowy Lionet. It was not common to see people bringing cats to the Phoenix House.
