Meng's mother and Meng's father packed up their things and went to bed early.
They have to open the store the next day and purchase goods, so they will go to bed early at night.
Before going upstairs, the two also emphasized to Meng Xiaoni: "After eating the hot pot, remember to wash the pot, otherwise there will be squeaking."
Squeak is a mouse.
I don't know where the habit of these two people came from. They thought that talking about rats at night would definitely attract rats, so they always used "squeak" instead.
Meng Xiaoni nodded.
After eating, clean up the garbage, wash it off, and put away the pot.
Meng Xiaoni ate hot pot at night, and went back to her room with great peace of mind.
After she washed up for a while, Ma Liu slipped into the quilt.
Although Mother Meng said she was busy and forgot when she would come back, she was actually thinking about it every day in her heart. The quilt smelled like it had been exposed to the sun, and it was warm. It must have been exposed to the sun in the past two days.
Meng Xiaoni sighed softly and fell asleep contentedly.
In the dead of night, the night is dark and windy.
Meng Xiaoni's consciousness was slightly hazy.
"Clang--"
Meng Xiaoni suddenly opened her eyes, staring at the pitch-black ceiling, listening to the noise quietly.
"Ding--"
There are voices downstairs!
Meng Xiaoni wondered: This spot is downstairs, is it her mother or her father? Or, there are thieves!
Ghosts are out of the question.
Because Meng Xiaoni has seen many ghosts, she knows that ghosts are not very common, and most ghosts can't touch people at all. She has never seen any of those evil spirits in the novel.
She didn't know if it was luck by deviation or what. Anyway, she has never seen the kind of evil spirit that can touch the entity and murder people.
Since there are ghosts, there are naturally Taoist priests, ghost exorcisers, and evil ghosts have already been dealt with.
Meng Xiaoni is most afraid of thieves.
There are three people in the family, two are old people, and one is her.
"Ping—" The sound was much softer.
Meng Xiaoni touched the head of the bed, took her mobile phone, and opened the Fengdu alarm text message, adding 12110 and the last three digits of the area code, edited the address, and stated that she was hiding in the room, suspected of being a thief.
Almost hit a send.
She took a deep breath and got out of bed.
The upstairs rooms are very small, and they are basically close together.
Meng Xiaoni lightened her steps, opened the door of her room, and looked at her parents' room opposite.
The door crack under the door of the room can see whether the light is turned on inside. In the past, Mother Meng relied on this to catch her to sleep late.
Meng Xiaoni's heart sank when she saw that the door of her parents' room opposite was dark.
Downstairs was not any of the three of them.
There was indeed noise downstairs.
Meng Xiaoni knew very well that Meng's mother and Meng's father were very hygienic, and they would sterilize and disinfect the food every once in a while to see if there were any rats.
It is a "fly restaurant" in name. She has lived in this shop for many years, but she has never seen many flies, let alone mice.
There were slight bumps one after another, but Meng's father and mother didn't hear them at all. They didn't turn on the lights or open the door.
Meng Xiaoni retreated to her room, locked the door, and sent the text message directly.
After a while, her phone vibrated.
She saw the message said: "Got it, the police will be here soon!"
Meng Xiaoni sat back on the bed and waited calmly with a straight face.
In just ten minutes, there was the sound of vehicles approaching outside.
There was a knock on the rolling door downstairs: "Is anyone there?"
The sound downstairs suddenly stopped.
Meng Xiaoni's window was not on that side, so she couldn't see the people downstairs for a while, and she didn't know how to contact the police downstairs. It was the first time she encountered such a thing, and her hands were shaking a little.
The phone vibrated again.
"May I ask if people are safe now? Is it possible to communicate by text message?"
Meng Xiaoni replied with trembling hands: "It's safe, we can communicate."
She divided several text messages and replied quickly: "The sound stopped downstairs." "There are three people upstairs, me and my parents." "My parents didn't wake up just now. Their phones will be turned off at night."
"We're going straight in now. The lock will knock off, don't you be afraid."
Meng Xiaoni: "Yes."
There is noise at the stairwell! Upstairs!
Meng Xiaoni suddenly looked at the door, then lowered her head and quickened her hands: "Go upstairs!"
As soon as the police downstairs received the news, they quickly knocked off the lock.
"Wow--"
It was the sound of the rolling shutter door being opened directly.
At this moment, Meng Xiaoni has never thought about how the thief got in. She had already held her breath, and the only thing she was thankful for was: she came back, and she didn't let her parents face this gangster alone.
"Dindole—"
There was a strange knock on the door.
Meng Xiaoni's scalp was numb.
Downstairs at this moment, the police had all rushed in, and soon someone found the stairs, and immediately called their companions to go upstairs together.
Meng Xiaoni looked around and quickly took out her desk lamp.
Her desk lamp was bought when she was in high school. Mother Meng thought that the light should be bigger, so she dragged her to buy a long and large desk lamp.
Right now it's good for self-defense.
After all this, someone came upstairs again: "Police! Don't move!"
The knocking on the door stopped.
Meng Xiaoni held her breath for too long, and now her head is a little dizzy. She looked at the door vigilantly, for fear that the gangster would crash into the door directly.
There was the sound of people walking outside, and even Mother Meng's voice came: "Hey, what's going on?"
Meng Xiaoni suddenly opened her eyes wide, and trotted towards the door: "Mom, don't open the door!"
Mother Meng's voice was separated from the door, and she also realized that something was wrong outside, so she quickly agreed to Meng Xiaoni: "Okay."
Fortunately, they are used to locking the door at night.
The sound of two footsteps outside was more obvious now, and the lights were on.
Meng Xiaoni inexplicably felt a little relieved from the sound of footsteps.
The small restaurant is small, and the space upstairs is even smaller.
Once people come up and turn on the light, everything in front of them has nowhere to escape.
There was a chuckle, and there was another knock on the door.
"Knock knock—"
Meng Xiaoni pursed her lips tightly.
"Excuse me, I'm the police, police number xxxxxx. There are no thieves, and there is a bird outside. Do you have parrots at home?" the person at the door asked.
Meng Xiaoni was stunned: "Huh?"
Next to the policeman outside, there was another person laughing: "It's really a bird. It's okay."
Meng Xiaoni walked towards the door, but didn't open it directly: "My house doesn't keep animals."
"That's right, the current situation is a little bit, um, we still need to communicate. Can anyone of you make a record with me? You need to sign when you go to the police." One person outside said to the other person, "Go and catch the bird first, Don't get hurt."
Meng Xiaoni looked down at the text message number that sent her a message.
It is indeed an official number.
She opened the door a little, and through the slit, she saw that the lights outside were on, and that someone was indeed wearing a police uniform. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door a little wider: "Why are there birds? I thought it was a thief."
There were indeed two policemen outside the door at this moment, one was pulling out papers from his pocket, and the other was bending over in another corner.
Meng Xiaoni stepped out and looked towards the corner: "Is it there?"
The policeman who took out the paper took the opportunity to look at Meng Xiaoni's room and confirmed that there was no birdcage, then nodded slightly: "Yes. Can you call your parents? It would be more reassuring for the whole family to explain this kind of thing together."
Meng Xiaoni hurried out.
Before she had time to knock on the door of Father Meng and Mother Meng, Father Meng and Mother Meng opened the door and came out.
The family of three are all wearing pajamas at the moment.
The policeman took the opportunity to glance at the parents' house again, and took out a pen from his pocket: "When we go out to the police, we need the policeman to sign and explain the situation and the final result. Someone will call you later to inquire about the situation. "
He clicked on the bird in the corner: "Are you sure you haven't raised any birds at home?"
Both Meng's father and mother shook their heads: "No."
The policeman nodded: "That's a Burke's parrot. Private breeding is not allowed in our country unless there is a certificate. If you haven't raised it before, we will take this bird away and hand it over to the Forestry Bureau tomorrow."
Meng's father and mother nodded hurriedly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Don't open the window casually at night. It's fine if a bird comes today, but if a person comes tomorrow, it will be a big trouble."
Only then did Meng Xiaoni realize the problem: "... But, I went upstairs and closed all the doors and windows. Where did this bird come in from?"
The police justified it for the parrot: "It is estimated that there are many people who dare not move when it comes in during the day. When there is no movement at night, it will come out to look for food. This little guy likes to eat fruit. Your hot pot restaurant should have it?"
Meng Xiaoni thought about the watermelon she saw while washing the pot, hesitated and nodded.
The police officer in the corner pounced several times, and finally caught the parrot.
He walked back profusely in sweat: "It's awesome, it's still a ruby. I don't know who raised it."
The policeman who was writing the situation glanced at his companion: "Anyway, you can't support it, don't think about it."
"Oh, what a pity."
It was only now that Meng Xiaoni saw this troublemaker.
It's called ruby, it's more appropriate to call it peach.
The light was white, and this little guy was still struggling to peck someone. His fur was very soft, and the color was light pink, especially like a peach. It didn't seem to want anyone to take it away, and there was a little anger in its reddish eyes.
angry
Meng Xiaoni was stunned: How could she see that a parrot was angry
The policeman finished writing the situation now, and handed the pen to Meng Xiaoni: "See if what I wrote is correct. If it is true, please sign it. We have to rush to the next police station."
Meng Xiaoni recovered and took the pen: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect it to be a bird."
The policeman laughed: "Don't underestimate the birds. What if the species invades? What if the birds have not been vaccinated? You must remember to disinfect the downstairs tomorrow."

Meng's father and mother next to him repeatedly agreed: "It must be disinfected, it must be disinfected."
Meng Xiaoni took a look at the situation on the paper, and after confirming that it was correct, she signed her name.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, the police gave a few more warnings, and finally left with his companion and the bird.
The three members of the Meng family sent people downstairs, Meng's father went to get the spare lock in the warehouse, and Meng Xiaoni watched the bird be taken away.
She tilted her head slightly: Why do you always feel that the bird is looking at her
