Chapter 1083: 279: Notorious_4
Shangguan Dehui squatted down and looked at Little Ni Yun, saying, “Duoduo is too tired, it has fallen asleep.”
“Really?” Little Ni Yun asked sowhat doubtfully.
“Yes.”
“Sister, is what dad said true?”
Ni Yang nodded, “It’s true.”
Little Ni Yun furrowed her brow, “But Duoduo doesn’t usually sleep like this, it’s so strange!”
She had seen Duoduo sleeping before.
Duoduo liked to stand in front of the bird’s nest, tucking one foot up, just like a golden rooster standing on one leg.
Ni Yang continued, “Because Duoduo is too tired.”
“Oh.” Little Ni Yun nodded, half understanding.
She trusted Ni Yang very much, so she did not question Ni Yang’s words.
When Grandfather Du arrived, Ni Yang had already packed up Duoduo’s belongings, and Old Master Zheng had also finished fixing the wooden box.
Old Master Zheng was skilled at his craft, not only making the wooden box good-looking but also brushing a layer of tung oil on the outside.
Grandfather Du stood in front of Duoduo, his face silent, his brows and eyes hiding a deep sullen expression.
After a long while, he finally said, “It was Wu Yanyun, wasn’t it?”
“Mm.” Ni Yang’s voice showed no emotion, as she placed Duoduo’s favorite toys and birdseed into the wooden box one by one.
Grandfather Du’s hand, holding the Buddha Beads, had gradually turned white at the knuckles.
This silly bird.
Hadn’t he told it not to get close to Wu Yanyun?
How did it just ignore his warning…
Ni Yang walked over to Grandfather Du, picked up Duoduo’s nest, and cautiously placed it in the wooden box.
“Don’t be too sad,” Grandfather Du said.
Ni Yang’s expression was serene, “Mm, I’m not sad.”
Grandfather Du sighed, “I also bla myself for this, actually, the last ti on the street, I felt sothing off about the way Wu Yanyun looked at Duoduo, but I didn’t expect that she would actually harm a bird.”
“She absolutely hates ,” Ni Yang continued. “If I weren’t Duoduo’s owner, Duoduo wouldn’t have died. Bla no one else but . If I had co back a day earlier, Duoduo wouldn’t have died.”
“Don’t think like that.”
Ni Yang’s lips curled into a faint smile, “It’s okay.”
With that, Ni Yang closed the lid of the wooden box.
“Wait a mont.” Grandfather Du reached out his hand to stop the lid.
“What’s wrong?” Ni Yang looked up slightly.
In the wooden box, one side held Duoduo’s food and toys, while the other held the bird nest and Duoduo, and Grandfather Du placed the Buddha Beads next to Duoduo.
“What are you doing?” Ni Yang asked, surprised.
Grandfather Du explained, “This Buddha Beads have been consecrated. I hope they can bless Duoduo to reincarnate as a human in its next life, into a good family.”
“But, this is too precious.”
Judging from its appearance, Grandfather Du had been carrying these Buddha Beads for at least five years, and the material was top-grade Xiaoye sandalwood.
Grandfather Du smiled, “It’s just a worldly possession. In my view, all the money in the world couldn’t buy another Duoduo.”
“I thank you on behalf of Duoduo.”
“You’re welco,” Grandfather Du continued. “Duoduo was also my friend.”
From the scorching sumr to the cold winter, Duoduo had been with him for such a long ti, calling it a friend was not an overstatent.
Ni Yang continued, “I want to bury Duoduo on the back mountain, will you co?”
“Yes,” Grandfather Du nodded.
Ard with a hoe, Grandfather Du followed Ni Yang to the back mountain.
The two were silent along the way.
Ni Yang dug a large pit, placed the wooden box inside, and was about to cover it with soil when a strange noise suddenly ca from the sky.
Then, a shadow covered them.
Ni Yang looked up and saw the sky filled with dense mynah birds.
“Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!”
A series of mournful cries arose from the sky.
Ni Yang looked up at these mynah birds and shouted, “Thank you!”
Grandfather Du’s expression was also sowhat shocked; he had never seen so many mynah birds gathered together.
It was quite a sight.
This scene lasted for about three minutes, and then the birds flew away.
After covering the soil, Ni Yang also collected so stones to surround the grave, and planted a small sapling next to it.
That day was like a dream.
…
After leaving Jinghua Village, Grandfather Du seed like a changed person, carrying the stormy aura making others dare not look straight at him.
The servants at Deming Pavilion were on tenterhooks, afraid that they might inadvertently anger Grandfather Du.
Grandfather Du called Wang Ziqi, “Check on Wu Yanyun’s recent situation!”
“Ah?” Ziqi was stunned.
Grandfather Du continued, “Check on Wu Yanyun’s recent situation, have soone watch her twenty-four hours a day.”
