Not long after, a kitten squatted down in front of Du Qianze, wagging its tail and looking at him curiously.

Du Qianze stretched out his hand to the kitten. After a long time, the kitten slowly approached him, put a paw in his hand, and meowed gently.

Hearing the kitten's cry, a big cat slowly came over. Seeing that the kitten was fine, it slowly left.

Da Bai also opened its eyes and saw Du Qianze next to it. It stretched out its paw to scratch Du Qianze, but it still remembered that there were two kittens next to it, so it didn't move much. Da Bai touched Du Qianze's hand, retracted its paw, hugged the kitten again, and continued to bask in the sun with its eyes closed.

Du Qianze was about to help Da Bai smooth its fur when the phone in his hand rang. It was Cai Ya's call.

"Qianze, I'm at the door, come out quickly." Du Qianze just called out, and Cai Ya spoke first.

Du Qianze took a carrot, put it in the rabbit's mouth without waiting for the rabbit to come over, and walked quickly to the front.

In the storefront, Cai Ya was surrounded by a group of guests asking for autographs, and Ting Shan followed.

"Qianze, I came here specially to see those very smart animals you mentioned, where are they?" Ting Shan didn't believe Du Qianze's words, and took the opportunity to tease him, and didn't think about being serious and going to see the animals Du Qianze mentioned.

"Go away." Cai Ya pushed Ting Shan away and said to Du Qianze anxiously, "That parrot is mine. Where is it now? I have been looking for it for several days and I am so anxious."

"The parrot just had a fight with another parrot and is now outside. I guess only the shop owner can find it. I will go to the back and call the shop owner over." After Du Qianze finished speaking, he found Fang Yue standing next to him and asked Fang Yue to greet Cai Ya first.

Fang Yue saw that Cai Ya and Ting Shan were very calm, and calmly invited them to go in for tea.

"Third Brother, come with me to the backyard. I can let you see the rabbit that can rob first." Du Qianze pulled Ting Shan to the backyard. He knew that Ting Shan had no ill intentions in what he just said, but he still wanted Ting Shan to see the animals here. At that time, it would be good if Ting Shan could introduce a few people to adopt pets.

Ting Shan was shocked when he saw the scene in the backyard. He didn't speak for a long time, then turned to Du Qianze and said, "Whether what you said is true or false, this shop owner is a good person."

Although Ting Shan didn't keep pets, he could tell the good from the bad. Most of the pets in the backyard were Chinese rural species, and they were definitely not for sale. It seemed that what Du Qianze said on Weibo was true. These small animals were picked up and adopted by the shop owner.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Tiger jumped over again, with all its fur standing on end, and growled at Tingshan.

"Third Brother, because there are too many things to say, there are some things I didn't write in. There is also a cat in this store that only guards the door." Du Qianze said to Ting Shan with a smile. Ting Shan didn't like small animals. Most people in the circle know it, so when he saw these strange animals, his worldview must be shattered. Du Qianze found that he quite liked this feeling.

"Shopkeeper." Du Qianze shouted in the direction of Fang Yi.

"Tiger, get out of the way." The weather was so comfortable that Fang Yi fell asleep on the chair. When he opened his eyes, he saw a stranger standing next to Du Qianze. He knew what Du Qianze was calling him for without thinking.

After Du Qianze introduced the two, he went straight to the point.

"Shopkeeper, the grey parrot I picked up yesterday belongs to a friend of mine. She is coming over now. Can you call the grey parrot back?"

"Naima." Fang Yi shouted, and Naima ran to Fang Yi excitedly, with a cat standing on his body.

Ting Shan was standing nearby, when he saw this scene, he didn't know what expression to make. Animals were so smart these days.

"Go call back No. 896. It's time for it to go home." Fang Yi looked at Ting Shan with great interest, which made Ting Shan puzzled.

"Have you trained?" Fang Yi asked suddenly.

"Yeah, I've trained a little." Ting Shan nodded. He was indeed surprised. He used to be a soldier and had some skills, but he did not have visible muscles like people nowadays, and he was also weak. It was difficult for ordinary people to tell that he had skills. But the owner of the pet shop actually saw it.

"Great, let’s have a match when we have time." Fang Yi patted Ting Shan on the shoulder and said, then said enthusiastically, "Do you want to keep a pet? I have everything here, cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, mice, pigs, turtles... whatever you want, do you want to take one home?"

"No, thank you, I'm busy at work and don't have time to keep a pet." Ting Shan hurriedly rejected Fang Yi's proposal.

After a few words, Naima came back, barked a few times, and then the grey parrot landed on the tree in front of Fang Yi and asked loudly, "What's up? What's up?"

"Oh my god...how come this parrot can talk and ask questions?"

When Ting Shan heard the grey parrot talking, *a herd of alpacas running wildly through his heart. He clearly remembered that the day before the parrot was lost, Cai Ya was still complaining to him that the parrot was too stupid and could not speak no matter how she taught it. It could only say "damn it". Now it had only been lost for a few days and the parrot could actually speak.

(*"a herd of alpacas running wildly," is a metaphorical and vivid expression used to describe a feeling of mental chaos, confusion, or a rush of chaotic thoughts and emotions.)

"Your owner is here, just in front, go meet your master with them." Fang Yi said to the grey parrot.

"Not going home... not going home... not see owner... not see owner..." The grey parrot shouted a few words, flapped its wings and prepared to fly away. Naima barked a few times below, and the grey parrot stopped again, whispering in a very aggrieved voice, "Not going home, not going home." But it still flew to Fang Yi's hand obediently.

Ting Shan was stunned beside him. This parrot not only could talk, but also could answer questions. How could it be like studying abroad, it came to the pet shop and could talk? Cai Ya must be very happy to know it.

"When did you learn to talk?" Ting Shan asked.

"Damn it, damn it." The parrot heard Ting Shan asking it a question, turned its head to Ting Shan, and replied loudly.
