Pkteng Bar is located in the center of a busy street. It is well-known in the local area. Amandine and Uwa found it as soon as they asked around. Just as they were about to enter the bar, they found the straw hat parrot at the door. The small words next to it read: 9 o'clock in the morning. It was past 10 o'clock in the evening. The time had already passed. It seemed that they had to stay here for a night. The two went out and found a small hotel. Amandine touched his pocket and took out two hundred shillings to ask for a room. The two entered the room. There were two beds in the room. They lay down separately. They were exhausted after being chased all night. Amandine fell asleep without taking off his shoes. The next morning, Uwa woke up first. She shook Amandine's shoulders vigorously, "Brother, get up quickly, it's almost nine o'clock."
Amandine woke up suddenly, "What's wrong? are the Illuminati chasing us again?"
"No, we are going to see the old man. It's almost nine o'clock now." Amandine said "Oh" and went back to sleep.
Uwa saw that he didn't get up, so she had to go to the bar first. She found a place to sit down. When she was wondering whether Ludes would come, someone patted her on the back, "Hey! Woman, didn't the uncle come?"
The person who came was Beyondbear, also alone, "Where is the old man? Why didn't he com?" If a stranger heard the conversation just now, he would never guess that the two were a mother and son. "I asked first, you have to answer me first." Beyondbear didn't want to do anything to lose.
"Brother is still sleeping."
"The old man is in the hotel. It's my turn to come here to find you today."
The two exchanged information with each other, and Uwa took her son to the hotel. As soon as Beyondbear saw Amandine sleeping, he asked, "Uncle, is there anything to eat?" He asked several times in a row, but there was no response, so he pulled him up and slapped him several times. Amandine was sleeping soundly, and was slapped dizzy. He thought he was caught by the Illuminati again, and he shouted in despair, "God is jealous of talents!"
Beyondbear didn't know the meaning of "God is jealous of talents", so he asked, "Is it delicious?"
After finding out that it was Beyondbear who hit him, Amandine cursed, "You damn stupid bear, you always bully me."
Uwa immediately corrected, "Brother, his name is not Bear, but Beyondbear, you are wrong."
Amandine got up and went to meet Ludes. The first thing he asked when they met was, "Old man, how do you know about the Straw Hat Parrot? Have you seen my father?"
"The Straw Hat Parrot is the Watson family's contact code. As long as the important members of the family know it, it's not surprising."
"Are you also from the Watson family?" Amandine asked in surprise.
"Yes!"
"You didn't lie to me? I heard from my father that the Watson family has always been a South American surname, and there are very few people. How can there be such a surname in Africa?"
"Amandine, I'll tell you a story and everything will be clear." Ludes stood by the window and looked into the distance, as if reminiscing.
Beyondbear likes to listen to stories the most. He sat obediently by the bed, looking expectant. Time passed by, and Ludes still didn't speak. Amandine said impatiently, "Old man, don't pretend to be deep, tell me!"
Ludes' old face blushed, and he smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I just remembered something."
The story starts a hundred years ago. Ludes' father was born in Namibia, southwest Africa. His original name was Watson Reynolds. When he was a teenager, he started to raise parrots. After years of hard work, he cultivated a new breed of parrots with an IQ far higher than other parrots. In the annual parrot imitation competition, Watson's parrots always won the championship, and he became a local news figure, and this new breed was named Watson Parrot. As his fame grew, Watson's parrots went out of Africa, and Watson himself became a wealthy man. At the age of 25, Watson got married and gave birth to three children, Ludes was the eldest son, there was a second daughter and another youngest boy. In order to pass on his career, Watson changed the surname of the next generation to Watson. Perhaps it was too smooth before, when Ludes was 15 years old, his family suffered a major change. One day, a group of thugs suddenly rushed into his house. These people beat people and robbed things without saying anything. His mother was beaten to death on the spot, and his father was shot when he resisted. The thugs set a fire when they left, and the fire burned all night. After the incident, the Ludes family declined, and Watson's parrots were left with little in the fire. Watson died after lying in bed for more than a year after being injured. Ludes was the eldest son in the family, so he had to take on the responsibility of supporting his younger siblings. He wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and continue raising parrots, but he was not good at it. The few remaining parrots died one after another, and only one was left. The lives of the three siblings immediately fell into trouble. Ludes's younger brother Ivan Watson proposed to sell the last parrot for some money. As soon as he finished speaking, he was strongly opposed by Ludes and his sister. Ivan was a man with ideas and planned to secretly sell the parrot. Late one night, after Ludes and his sister fell asleep, he quietly walked to the parrot room. As soon as he stepped in, he heard a voice shouting, "Thief! Thief!"
In the dead of night, the shouting sounded particularly loud, and the word "thief" was very sensitive. Ludes, who was sleeping, woke up immediately. He found a baseball bat from the room and planned to teach the thief a lesson. When he angrily walked to the parrot room, he saw his younger brother. He asked angrily, "Ivan, what are you doing?"
"Brother, I want to feed the bird some water." The twelve-year-old Ivan lied.
Ludes approached the sink and saw that it was already full of water. "There is already water, what else do you want to add?"
"I just added it, look!" Ivan said like a magician, with a kettle in his hand. Ludes believed it a little more, put down the bat in his hand and said, "Then go to bed!" After Ivan left, he lowered his head and asked the parrot, "Did Ivan really add water for you?"
"No, he is a liar." The parrot answered clearly.
After getting the answer, Ludes took the parrot into his room. In a few days, it will be the annual parrot imitation competition. Ludes and his sister discussed letting the parrot participate and named it "Phoenix". Ivan was very dissatisfied with his brother and sister for excluding him, and immediately went to them to argue, "Brother, you are too much, why don't you let me go?"
"You want to sell the Phoenix, why are you going?"
"I just suggested it and didn't really sell it." Ivan argued.
Ludes finally agreed to take him with him. Soon it was the day of the competition. When the three people appeared holding the phoenix, people began to talk about it. The audience was very happy, but most of the contestants had fierce eyes, because as long as Watson's parrot appeared, the championship would no longer belong to them. Ivan immediately felt the dangerous atmosphere, and whispered to his brothers and sisters around him, "Although we may win the championship, we will also offend all the contestants."
"Coward!" his sister scolded.
