Andre's Pet Shop Adventure

"You are quite attentive." Sanchez nodded slightly, with a look of praise.

"Grandfather, this is my grandson's responsibility, and it should be so." The young man scratched his head, with a simple smile on his face, that smile was like the warm spring sun, simple and sincere.

Boris ran to the side of the living room with a smile, and picked up a metal box with both hands. Under the light, the box flashed a cold metallic luster, as if hiding countless mysteries. She waved to the red bird enthusiastically and said, "Xiao Huo, come quickly, these are all delicious dishes prepared for you."

After that, she gently opened the box, and in an instant, a unique fragrance mixed with flowers, fruits and plants filled the air. I saw a dazzling array of things in the box, with more than a dozen kinds of pet food neatly arranged, including delicate and beautiful flowers and fruits, fresh and green plants, and tightly sealed insect jars, all of which are the favorite delicacies of birds and beasts on weekdays.

Sanchez glanced at it casually, then turned around and said to the lazy red bird behind him: "Little guy, come and take a look, someone brought you a lot of delicious food." As a medium-sized pet, the red bird is quite spiritual, but at this moment it seems to have no interest in everything in the world and has always been uninterested. Until Sanchez called out, it reluctantly walked slowly, poked its head out slightly, looked at it casually, and then seemed to be extremely disgusted with the things in front of it. It quickly turned its head, its eyes full of laziness, and then lay on the ground, with no interest in this box of food. "Uh..." Boris was slightly surprised when she saw this. She had never expected that the red bird would be so disrespectful. Such a lot of delicacies could not arouse its appetite. The young man next to him was also stunned. The smile on his face froze instantly, and his expression became a little embarrassed, as if he was a statue that was frozen, at a loss. Sanchez was not too surprised. He knew that he had fed the Vermilion Bird with many of the pet foods in the box, but none of them worked.

"Grandfather, is this bird suffering from some strange disease?" Boris looked at the Vermilion Bird lying lazily on the ground and couldn't help but speak, with doubts and worries flashing in her bright eyes.

Sanchez raised his eyebrows slightly. If it were in the past, he might have thought so, but after seeing the Vermilion Bird eating happily and fluttering in the pet store, he was sure that it was a problem with the food.

"It has a poor appetite recently, and ordinary food is hard to swallow, but it will get better after some time." Sanchez said softly with a calm expression, and slowly walked to the side to sit down and rest, with elegant and calm movements, like a nobleman who has experienced vicissitudes of life enjoying a moment of tranquility.

The young man beside him flickered his eyes slightly, as if he had caught some opportunity, and took the opportunity to say: "In this case, Grandfather, why don't you take it with us to the upper city? There is the top Star Pet Hospital there, which will definitely find out its problem, and if there is any problem in the future, it can be dealt with in time, and everything will be very convenient."

Sanchez snorted coldly, and said firmly: "I have already said that I will stay here and not go anywhere."

The young man's face changed slightly, as if he was shocked by Sanchez's determination, and then fell into a brief silence and stopped talking.

"Grandfather, even if you don't want to go, you should consider Xiaohuo. If it keeps on fasting like this, it may not last for a few days. You can't just watch it starve to death!" Boris was smart. Seeing that his brother's persuasion was fruitless, he immediately took another approach and persuaded from the perspective of the safety of the red bird.

Hearing her mention this, Sanchez raised his eyebrows, and a bit of pride appeared on his face. He said, "It will definitely not go on a hunger strike. I have found delicious food for it today. It just disdains the ordinary pet food you brought, but it doesn't mean it won't eat anything else."

When the young man heard this, he was a little amused and secretly complained in his heart: He brought ordinary pet food? Each of these is a valuable and precious pet food!

"You found food for it?" Boris was slightly surprised, with a strange look on his face, and said, "It will eat different pet food?"

"Of course." Sanchez smiled and was full of confidence.

"I don't believe it." Boris was full of doubt. In her opinion, this might be an excuse that her grandfather deliberately found to refuse to go to the upper city. After all, in order to stay here and live with them in the upper city over the years, I don't know how many weird excuses her grandfather made up.

The young man Fan Yujing beside him also had a puzzled look on his face, as if he was in a thick fog and it was difficult to discern the truth.

Sanchez raised his eyebrows slightly, reached into his pocket slowly, and took out the small and exquisite bottle, his movements were elegant and skillful. He gently unscrewed the bottle cap and poured out a fruit from it. The fruit was bright in color and exuded an attractive luster, like a mysterious gem.

"Come." Sanchez greeted the red bird softly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his voice.

In fact, the moment he unscrewed the bottle, the red bird's originally drooping head had slowly turned around.

Sanchez gently threw a fruit.

Seeing this, the red bird immediately opened its sharp beak, caught the fruit accurately, and then quickly swallowed it down, the movement was done in one go, as if it was extremely greedy for the fruit.

This scene made the brother and sister a little stunned, they widened their eyes, as if they had seen the most bizarre thing in the world.

Soon, Boris came back to her senses. She was still a little unconvinced and thought to herself: "It must be that the things were placed on the ground and failed to arouse Xiaohuo's appetite. Maybe I fed him in the wrong way." After that, she walked quickly to the box, carefully selected a few attractive flowers and fruits from it, and then greeted with a smile: "Xiaohuo, come." The red bird looked over, but a flower and fruit accidentally fell on its gorgeous feathers. Boris: "..." Seeing the red bird with slightly erected hair, Boris felt his scalp tingling, cold sweat soaked his back, and he dared not try again easily. "Now you can trust it." Sanchez said with a smile, his face full of pride, like a general returning from a victory. Boris looked at him and felt a little helpless. He knew that it was hopeless to persuade his grandfather to go to the upper city by using Xiaohuo's matter. "Grandfather, what kind of food is this? I have never seen it before. Where did you get it?" Fan Yujing stared at the fruit in Sanchez's hand, his eyes full of confusion. He thought he had seen a lot of battles, but he had no impression of this kind of bird and beast fruit.

Sanchez smiled and said, "I bought it from a pet store nearby. It's called Yanzhu Fruit."

"Yanzhu Fruit?" Boris chewed the name gently. With her knowledge reserve at the level of a top student, she searched carefully in her mind, but could not find any relevant information. She couldn't help wondering, "I have never heard of this fruit. Can it be eaten? Is it something harmful?"

Fan Yujing nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, there are many unscrupulous pet stores in the world that sell weeds as pet food. Such behavior is strictly investigated in the upper city, but here, the control is much looser. Grandfather, don't buy any unknown things to harm Xiaohuo."

"Huh?" Hearing them say this, Sanchez's heart tightened. To him, the red bird is like a rare treasure and has extraordinary significance. If something goes wrong because of this fruit, he can hardly imagine what the consequences will be.

"This shouldn't be the case. I bought it from a regular pet store, and they have a business license." Although Sanchez was a little uneasy, he still tried his best to remain calm on the surface, like a deep lake without waves.

Boris thought for a moment and said slowly: "I have heard that some black shops will mix special chemicals into pet food to make the pet food they sell delicious and tasty, so that pets can't stop eating. Once they stop eating, pets will go crazy. However, if they eat for a long time, pets are very likely to die suddenly or suffer other disasters."

Sanchez was stunned. He had also witnessed such reports on TV. His heart tightened instantly, as if it was tightly held by an invisible big hand.

"That's right. The pet food I brought is basically the favorite of fire birds and beasts, but Xiaohuo turned a blind eye to it and was only interested in the things given by grandpa. This is too strange." When Fan Yujing heard his sister's words, the simple smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold look, and his eyes revealed a trace of vigilance and determination.

"By the way, grandpa, how much is this fruit worth?" Boris suddenly asked.

Sanchez was stunned and answered subconsciously: "1500..."

"One bottle of 1,500?" Boris was stunned, and his pretty face instantly became cold, as if covered by a layer of frost, "This is not the upper city, how can there be such expensive pet food? This must be a black shop!"

"Grandpa, where is this shop located? What is its name?" Fan Yujing asked directly, his eyes burning with angry flames, as if he wanted to burn the black-hearted shop to ashes.

"It's called Little Naughty..."
