More than 100 years ago, Bomin lived in the territory of Leilong Kingdom. They are the descendants of the Zhongweiyuan Clan of the Leilong clan. Like their ancestors, Bomin was good at raising small birds. Even though they were persecuted by the king and fled their homeland, they lived a precarious life. Also did not cut off raising small detaining birds.Later, a vulgar play called Shuniaoxi emerged in the settlements of the Bomin who stayed on the border of Leilong, Wensang and Taerjis, and the small Shuniao became an important prop in the performance.

There are one-spotted, three-spotted and five-spotted birds, and five-spotted ones are the most precious and valuable.In the most glorious era of Shuniao Opera, Shangyu Opera Troupe had nearly a hundred five-spotted birds, but now there is only one, and it is already old.

The bird food bag was placed on the ground by Bai Bailin. He bent down to remove the cloth pressure stone to prevent the wind, opened the curtain and walked in. There were four bird racks in the tent, but there were three but no birds——three Yiban Standing on the shelf where Wuban lived, the only one in the troupe, he chirped.

The bird food bag was thrown to the ground, and light brown particles rolled out of the bag.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Bai Bailin ran over, chased away the three one-spotted ones, and looked at his five-spotted ones.

"Diandian."

He called Wuban by its name, and lightly brushed its top feathers with his right index finger. The color of the feathers was no longer as bright as before, only the five drop-shaped spots on the back were still shining. In this quiet morning, how many There were a few drops of water, but they soaked away quickly.

After Bai Bolin regained his senses, he picked up the bag of bird food, and he poured the bird food for Wu Ban into the rest of Yiban's bird food jar. Then, he picked up Wu Ban's body and walked out of the aviary .Outside the tent, Bai Bailin passed by another youngest Wenniao Tong Shunzhi.

"Hey! Why didn't you say hello to me today!"

Shunzhi stopped, turned around and shouted at Bai Bailin's back, seeing that his companion ignored him, Shunzhi chased after him angrily, and grabbed Bai Bailin's arm.

"It's so early in the morning, what's wrong with you!"

Bai Bailin glanced at Shun Zhi, then lowered his head to look at his five spots, but still didn't speak.Shunzhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Wuban, and touched it with his hand, the cold touch made him turn pale with fright.

"Dead, dead?"

"Ah."

Bai Bolin bypassed Shunzhi, continued to walk, and came to Sheluxi's tent, opened the curtain with his head, and walked in slowly.In the tent, Sheluxi was having breakfast with Ming Jin and Ming Yin: dry bread with chili sauce, sandwiched with cold bacon cut into thin strips, and served with overnight water.

She Luxi saw the five spots lying in Bai Bailin's palm, and suddenly felt that the food that had just entered his mouth was hard to swallow, and asked in a vague voice:

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with Five Spots? Are you sick?"

"Dian Dian is not sick." Hearing Bai Bailin's answer, Shelu Xian swallowed heartily, and then took another bite. She likes salty and spicy food.After more than ten seconds, Bai Bailin said the second half of the sentence: "Dian Dian is dead."

Shelushi choked on the smell of chili sauce and coughed out the unchewed pancakes.

"Dead? Diandian is dead?"

The twin sisters stood up quickly, ran to Bai Bolin, touched Wu Ban with their small hands, and cried sadly, tears streaming down the slender necks and wet the lace collar.

Sheluxi wiped the debris from her mouth with a handkerchief, walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. It was fine yesterday. Today, I went to the aviary early this morning. I saw them surrounding Diandian, and I got scared. I ran over to have a look—"

Bai Bailin's description stopped, he desperately opened his eyes wide to keep the tears from flowing out, his eye sockets were all red, and his hands holding Wuban trembled even more.

"What to do! Sister Lu Xi! Dian Dian is dead!"

Sheluxi listened to Bai Bolin's helpless inquiry, but she couldn't say any words of comfort. She didn't look at Wu Ban, but looked at the thin blanket on the floor - it would never be laid evenly, and it would wrinkle just by pulling the chair , I can't wash it clean, the traces of grease, dust, ink spots and trampled insects and ants seem to be engraved on it, Sheluxi has long wanted to change the blanket, buy a blanket like Nangu and Shengze flower carpet.After revitalizing the Shangyu Opera Troupe and Shuniao Opera, she did not intend to tour anymore, so she built a theater in Lanxi, the capital, and only performed there.

Now that Wuban is dead, Sheluxi's wish may not come true.

The dignified atmosphere was broken by the sound of footsteps, the curtain of Sheluxi was lifted, and many people walked in, all members of the Shangyu Opera Troupe, four of whom were over half a century old, and they came in without saying a word, looking at them like Nangu East Looking west, seeing that the west side of Shelu was ashes, he first said: "By the way, Wuban in the regiment is dead!"

"died."

Shirley sat back on the chair.

"How did you die? Bai Bailin, how did you raise him? Wu Ban was raised to death."

Bai Bailin replied with a smile: "I don't know, I was fine yesterday."

"Hmph! I see that you've been very lazy lately. The delivery of water was late in the morning, and Wuban is still dead. I don't know what the head of the group is doing for taking you in."

Sheng Zenu put her arms around the sobbing twin sisters, and said softly, "Xiao Nan, don't say a few words, it's not Xiao Lin's fault, Wu Ban in our group is already old."

Shun Zhi, who had been sneering at the side, retorted: "Sister Ze, why is it not his fault? Our Wuban is a bit older, but it is not to the point of dying. If the Wenniaotong who raised it is reliable, how can I say it?" And I can live for a while longer. At that time, I said let me raise it, but you didn’t listen, now it’s all right, Wu Ban is dead, is Shu Niao Xi without Wu Ban still Shu Niao Xi?”

Senior Nangu put her hands on her hips and said, "Shut up, I just raised a three-spotted bird in winter and haven't settled with you yet!"

"It was so cold last winter, and Sanban froze to death. What can I do? It's so warm now, isn't it his fault that the bird died?"

"Come on, you two are nothing good."

Senior Nangu shook her hands and didn't straighten it out.

"What do you mean is not a good thing? I think you are the one, and you will point out other people's work! I am too lazy to die. I am not afraid of you like Bai Bailin. I have a family! I can leave whenever I want, and my father can come anytime." Pick me up! Who wants to stay in such a crappy place!"

After Shunzhi finished cursing, he left the tent angrily, and Dai Nangu spat on the ground, cursing: "What a fool, if the five spots fall into your hands, you will die faster!"

The old man in the troupe - the grandpa who was the voice maker said: "It's okay! It's okay! I will live the mouths of the two of you every day!"

"dad!"

Senior Nangu shouted unhappily.

"What's the matter? Did I say something wrong? Missy hasn't said anything yet, you and that kid are arguing together, what does it look like?"

"Your father said you, so you just listen." The mother-in-law who is also a sound maker echoed, and then she said to She Luxi: "Miss, in this situation, I can only buy another one. Our group is nothing The messy troupe is the Shangyu Opera Troupe founded by Master She Wenniang, and the five spots were missing during the performance, which is outrageous."

"I know, but—"

Sheluxi thought of the troupe's accounts, and could not afford to buy expensive five spots.

Xu Jie, who had been standing next to Sheluxi since she came in, glanced at her, and said coldly, "I can't even pay my wages. Where can I get money to buy birds? Let's raise money?"

In an instant, everyone fell into silence.

At the same time, Bai Bailin stepped out of the tent with his stiff legs, holding Wuban's body.

The author has something to say:

It is rare to write smoothly, and it will probably be maintained until the end.

In the next chapter, the "stupid" young master with a lot of money will appear.
