The red nightingale looked at the three people who were not moving under the tree. Among them, Lu Jing was the first to be eliminated by it.
Because Lu Jing didn't move, he really didn't move. He didn't even take out the beetle. He just stood there, obviously showing no interest in it.
And with the red nightingale's proud character, she would naturally not use her hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks.
Then it actually only has two choices left.
Seeing that he had fallen into the encirclement, the red nightingale no longer hesitated and rushed towards Xia Huai decisively.
There was a hint of joy in the girl's eyes, but Yang Tao on the other side was not too disappointed. Firstly, because Xia Huai was his companion, and secondly, because of his bad luck during this period, he was actually prepared for this outcome. .
The reason why I took out the scarab beetles was just to check in and give myself an explanation.
However, what he didn't expect was that the red nightingale was about to fly into Xia Huai's palm, but it suddenly flicked its tail and made a sharp turn.
It deceived those who were chasing it away, and then rushed into Yang Tao's hands.
Everyone present was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that this red nightingale would do this trick.
Yang Tao was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the red nightingale eating the dried scarab beetle in his hand, the expression on his face couldn't help but become excited.
He immediately took out more dried scarab beetles and poured them all into his own hands.
But then he thought of something and said to Xia Huai who was standing aside, "Do you want to try again?"
Xia Huai shook his head, "It has already made its choice, don't let down its choice."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tao took out the small pill from his arms with trembling hands. When the red nightingale had almost eaten the dried beetle, he handed the pill to it.
The red nightingale hesitated for a moment, then finally stretched out its head and swallowed the pill.
Others around him showed a look of envy when they saw this.
However, Yang Tao was very popular among the newcomers, so the red nightingale finally fell into his hands. Although most people felt a little regretful, they still came forward to express their congratulations.
Then the crowd left in twos and threes and continued to look for their messenger.
At this time, Yang Tao felt as if he was in a dream, looking at the red nightingale preening its feathers, and murmured, "I... is this the end of my bad luck?"
"Congratulations to Brother Yang for getting an outstanding messenger." Lu Jing also said at the side, "Brother Yang, are you going to follow us further?"
"Yeah." Yang Tao nodded, "I don't have anything to do anyway. The scenery here is nice, so just treat it as an outing."
As he spoke, he bit his thumb and pressed it on the red nightingale's wing. The red blood dripped on the red feathers, and there was almost no difference.
But then Yang Tao thought, and his messenger spread his wings, flew to the acacia tree, and returned to his hand with a bunch of red bean fruits.
Unfortunately, the red beans on the acacia tree are not edible and can only be used for jewelry and ornamental purposes. The fruit itself is toxic, so Yang Tao didn't pick much of it.
"Give it a name." Xia Huai suggested.
"Ah, there must be a name," Yang Tao scratched his head, and then the simple boy didn't know what he thought of, his face suddenly turned red, and he stammered, "Since I found it on an acacia tree, then... ...Just call it Hongdou.”
"Red beans grow in the south. When spring comes, a few branches will appear. I hope you will pick more. This is the most loved thing... Does Brother Yang also have someone in mind?" Lu Jing asked curiously.
"Hmm... I don't know if it counts. When I was a kid, there was a little girl from a house across the street who would always lie on the wall and watch me practice shooting." Yang Tao seemed to have thought of something, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
"She would laugh at me when she saw that I was not practicing correctly. We had a lot of quarrels at that time, but after so many quarrels, we actually became friends.
"As she grew older, she would tell me whatever was on her mind. We would just sit across a wall and talk about the people and things we met that day. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to ask my dad to go to her house to propose marriage. Their family He suddenly moved away.
"I don't know where she is now or how she is doing, but I think she may be married at this age."
Lu Jing didn't expect that the seemingly rough Yang Tao also had such green memories. He patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yang, don't be too pessimistic. Maybe you two will meet again in the future."
"Maybe, but we haven't seen each other for so many years. If we ever meet again, I don't know if I can recognize him or not."
On the other side, Xia Huai lowered his head and recalled the five-character poem that Lu Jing just said. He remembered that the two had not seen each other for two years, and he didn't know if this poem was written by Lu Jing in the past two years.
If so, could it be that the person he loves...is himself?
Xia Huai's heartbeat suddenly became faster, and his neck became redder than the red beans in Yang Tao's palm. He even seemed a little distracted about finding the messenger.
But she met her messenger soon afterwards.
The three of them walked for a while and came to a small waterfall. Xia Huai saw a nightingale in the bushes singing very nicely, so he couldn't help but take out a dried scarab beetle to feed, but he didn't expect it to be delivered there yet. At the mouth of a nightingale.
Suddenly a robber appeared in the air, picked up the beetle and ran away!
Judging from the skillful movements of the guy, he is obviously a habitual offender, and he is fat and fat. With his fluffy yellow feathers, he looks like a piece of flying KFC boneless chicken fillet with vine pepper.
And probably because of the good food, this little robber flew quite fast, and there were many people staring at it at the same time.
But most of them came to seek revenge after suffering losses at its hands.
A female disciple of the Leng family in Huzhou was so angry that she cried. The yellow nightingale ate all her bag of dried scarab beetles. However, when she finally took out the pills, she spread her wings and ran away.
He looked like a scumbag from Neptune who wouldn't recognize anyone when he lifted his pants. The female disciple of the Leng family had no choice but to chase after him all the way, hoping to make the yellow nightingale responsible.
And she was not the only victim nearby, but the severity varied from mild to severe.
Lu Jing was obviously more interested in the little robber than the red bean in Yang Tao's hand, but before he could take out the beetle, the robber nightingale had already plunged into the bushes.
However, perhaps because its belly was too full, its side soon became extremely happy and sad. The whole bird was stuck between two shrub branches, and it started chirping anxiously.
Xia Huai couldn't bear to see this. Although it had just snatched a scarab beetle stem, he still drew his sword and cut off the two tree forks sandwiching it.
However, after escaping from the trap, the robber nightingale did not just spread its wings and fly away. Instead, it turned around and landed on Xia Huai's sword, performing a classic drama of a prodigal son turning back without paying for his money.
So Xia Huai finally found her messenger and named the yellow nightingale Chicken Leg.
