Chapter 8 Ducks fall out of love, birds suffer, and friends are separated
The blue sky and white clouds reflect the light of the lake; The green trees are full of flowers, scattered and fragrant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the shore of the lake, the ugly duck and the female duck look at each other.
The female wild duck said shyly: "Old ugly brother, you ...... Can I attend my wedding? β
"Huh!? Wedding!? The ugly duck was stunned, and his joy vanished in an instant.
"Uh-huh! Old ugly brother, can you come and participate? The female mallard's eyes were full of anticipation.
"With whom? This...... It's too sudden! The ugly duck was full of bitterness and his voice was sad.
Actually, do you need to ask more, the male mallard is looking at them not far away!
"Old ugly brother, can you come?" The female mallard asked again.
At this time, the shout of the old man came from afar: "Hey, old ugly, go, go!" It's time for us to go! β
With tears in his eyes, the ugly duck shook his head hard at the female mallard!
"Yay, that's great! Old ugly brother, I knew you were the best! The mother duck spread her wings and cheered.
β¦β¦
What's going on?
It turned out that last night, when the ugly duck was attending the poultry tribe conference, on the other side of the lake, the male duck came to the female duck with a fish, put it down gently, and said softly: "Hey, eat a fish!" β
"Humph!" The mother duck raised her head and neck, and ignored him.
"I throw in the towel, please get back together!" The male duck bows its duck head, hangs its duck neck, and is sincere and sincere.
"Are you really willing to throw in the towel?" The voice of the female mallard was still as cold as ice.
"Well, for you, I do!" The male mallard raised his duck head and looked at the female mallard seriously.
"Yay, I won!" The female mallard suddenly spun in a circle and spread her wings and cheered.
"It's really powerful! Admire, admire! The male mallard was convinced.
"Hee-hee, it's not bad to want to catch it!" The mother mallard smiled.
"Hey, hey!"
"Stupid!"
The bright moon is in the sky, the breeze is blowing feathers, at this moment in the eyes of the male mallard, the soft moonlight is like the wings of light draped on the female duck, reflecting her fluttering like a divine duck, sassy like a fairy bird, and her bright eyes staring at her are as pure and flawless as stardust.
Finally, he stepped forward to meet the affectionate gaze and spread his wings to hug her tightly.
The female duck was angry, sneered, and pecked him gently: "Stinky man, you are not jealous when you see me so close to the old ugly brother, and you dare to run to other female ducks**, do you know how sad people are?" β
"I was wrong, I was wrong! Don't dare next time! β
"Nextβnext?"
"No, no, no, there is no next time, I promise, this is the last time!"
"That's pretty much it!"
β¦β¦
The wedding of the duck clan is very simple, the ducks and the close birds spread their wings to form a circle, the male duck and the female duck stand in the circle, the male duck takes the initiative to step forward, the female duck retreats and dodges, after repeating a few rounds, the female duck no longer retreats, and the two sides sing with their necks!
Then, to the high singing of the surrounding birds, the male mallard jumps on top of the female......
Licheng!
Regardless of the obstruction of the master, the ugly duck resolutely participated in the wedding with tears in his eyes!
The early sun was shining, dancing wings, and the moment he saw the male mallard and the female mallard neck-to-neck, the tears that had been accumulated in his eyes for a long time finally burst out of his eyes!
Next to him, the master stood on the back of the male lovesick bird and said: "Hey, old ugly, it's still too late for the master to come out, as long as you stun them, you can do whatever you want!" Hey, don't goβ"
The ugly old duck didn't look back, and tears spilled all over the ground.
At that moment, he clearly saw that the bubbles above his heart lake had all burst, and the two old and ugly ducks were awake, sometimes tearing each other, sometimes hugging each other and crying bitterly...... Alas, what is the point of living!
"Hey, old ugly! Don't go, wait for me! The master shouted, and unceremoniously ordered the male lovesick bird, "Go, stupid bird, follow quickly!" β
The two lovesick birds reluctantly retracted their gaze and flew towards the ugly duck together.
Hey, are the two lovesick birds going to leave with them?
That's right, they've become Grandpa's new mounts!
What's going on?
It turned out that in the morning, when the ugly old duck was asleep and didn't wake up, the second bird was chatting with the young man, and he inadvertently remembered his history of blood and tears-
They are not of this species, nor were they a couple before. Before coming here, they were living freely in the jungles of the south with their respective partners! However, he fell into the trap of the Terrans, and was transported to the flower and bird market in the north along with many other members of his kind, where they were bought by others and released in this area soon after!
There were more than 300 of the same kind that were caught together, and more than half of them died on the road alone, and after being released, more than half of the remaining half died, and the rest of those who survived were frozen to death in the bitter cold of last winter!
There are more than 300 of them, and now they are the only ones alive!
The partner died, there was no one of the same kind, only each other remained, just one male and one female, no one had a choice but to pair!
Their brains will never be able to figure out that since they will eventually be released if they are caught, shouldn't they just not catch them in the first place, in that case, their partners and those of the same kind will not die in vain!
In fact, how did they know that catching and releasing is business, and the lives of these flat-haired beasts are just weights on the balance of business! Of course, they won't even know that the biggest business in the history of capture and release was done on Huarong Road, but people don't care about business, but benevolence!
After listening to their stories, Master Yu only said one sentence: "Since you are not used to living here, why don't you two dead flat hairs fly back to the south?" β
What a word to wake up the dream bird!
The two of them immediately decided to go south with the master!
So, there are two more flying horses, and they are two stupider and easier to fool!
This is thousands of miles away from Huaguo Mountain, after all, it is faster to fly, if you let the ugly duck move over so slowly, it is estimated that the daylily will be cold when you go to Huaguo Mountain! If the monkeys are all dead, where can he go to inquire about the whereabouts of the Great Sage!
Press, with his current eagerness, he should leave the ugly duck behind and immediately urge the two mounts to fly straight to Huaguo Mountain! However, seeing that the ugly duck had just fallen out of love, Mu Muran was like a walking corpse, and he couldn't bear to leave him alone at this time!
Forget it, let's go with him one more time! Isn't he going to the sea? Follow the river to the river, follow the river to the sea, well, accompany him to the mouth of the river, and then separate, this is also an acquaintance, benevolence and righteousness!
Keep walking, keep going.
"Hey, Master Kuo, can't you really digest it after eating it?" The female lovesick bird asked curiously as she flew.
The master lay on the back of the male bird, and said without raising his head: "Of course! Why, you don't believe it? β
Mother Acacia: "Hee-hee, it's not that I don't believe it, I just want to try!" β
The acacia bird also interjected: "Master Yu, in fact, I want to try it too!" β
The master didn't raise his head, didn't open his eyes, and said coldly: "I think you want to taste the master's killing stick, right?" β
The mother lovesick bird asked in surprise, "Hey, what is a killing stick?" Is it more powerful than directional sound? β
Ye Ye responded honestly and unceremoniously: "Of course! β
When the mother lovesick bird heard this, she said, "Wow, Master Yu, you are so powerful!" But I still want to eat it for you to try! β
"Then you can try!"
"I don't dare!"
"That's the end of it!"
"But people want to!"
"I want to find your master, don't bother him!"
β¦β¦
Back in the mountain lake area, not long after they left, at noon, two humans came to the lake area.
The egret clan has always been more vigilant, and as soon as they saw that the lake area was coming, the human race immediately took off and moved north! The other birds are not aware of the seriousness of the matter, and there are always few people here, and most of the occasional people are travelers or just passing by; Second, there are few such pure and safe waters ahead, and after a long journey, I finally have a foothold, and I am always reluctant to leave if I don't stay here for a few more days!
As a result, most of the birds simply avoided the Terrans and did not set out.
The two people who came, one in his thirties, with a pockmarked face and a toad mouth; A man in his forties, with a donkey and horse face and a sausage mouth.
Standing on the edge of the lake and looking at it from afar, but seeing the birds all over the lake, and the flocks of birds, their eyes lit up with joy - this time they were going to make a lot of money!
Take the burden off your shoulders, take out the dictates from the cage covered with a black cloth, and get busy separately!
The price of dead birds in the market is only one-third of that of live birds, and the next set is basically live, so the toad mouth runs to Hudong to get a set.
These sleeves are slipknots made of thin wire to which a rope is attached at one end, and the rope is simply tied to a stone and lowered to a place where birds often move. Once the bird is trapped, it will never be able to fly again because of the falling stones!
On the west side of the lake, the sausage mouth is wearing rubber gloves, and the hands are sprinkled with fish, shrimp and grains soaked in a highly toxic pesticide.
This pesticide can directly damage the respiratory system of birds, causing them to suffocate to death! Although the state has long banned its use, it is still sold everywhere on the street, and the price is extremely cheap! Once the birds accidentally eat this poisonous bait, if they inject the corresponding drugs under the wings of the birds in time for detoxification, they can generally be rescued, but there are always a considerable number of birds who are destined not to have this kind of good luck!
After sprinkling the poison bait, the sausage mouth went ashore and began to set up sticky nets on the shore.
The net is also a common tool used by poachers to stick to birds like fishing nets, and they are also very cheap.
Soon, the toad's mouth was finished, and he also began to go to the shore to set up nets.
After the east of the lake is set, the west of the lake is poisoned, and the nets are set up on all sides, and then you can wait for the harvest.
It didn't take long for birds to start falling into the net!
Once in the net, it enters a vicious circle: the more desperately you flutter, the tighter you wrap up; The tighter you wrap up, the more difficult it is to break free; The more difficult it is to break free, the more poignant the cry becomes; The more terrible the scream, the more frightened the uncaught fellow became; The more frightened you are, the easier it is to fly around like a headless fly; The more you fly around, the easier it is to get into the net...... The more sticky the online is, the more sticky it is!
On the west side of the lake, the fish ate the poisonous bait, and the fish belly turned white; Birds eat poisonous bait or dead fish, or scream feebly and slap the water; or kicking back with both legs, planted in shallow water, fixed as a painful struggle before death, or eyes open, foaming at the mouth, and floating on the water after stiffening......
On the east side of the lake, those who are caught in the sleeve keep screaming, and those who are not caught are flying in all directions, and once they are frightened, they are often easy to hit the sticky net on the shore!
Of course, there are also many birds that escape! Most of them flew away without looking back, and they will never come to this place again in this life! Some of them were reluctant to be the same, and they couldn't stop wailing and circling in the sky for a while, and finally they all flew away......
On the shore, the toad mouth and sausage mouth are holding cigarettes in their mouths, and they are smiling and closing the nets!
At this moment, they are nimble in their hands and feet, like old farmers harvesting wheat, the whole lake is their farmland, and the long thin paws of birds are their wheat stalks, and they wield their sickles, gurgling and cutting a song of life!
They are experienced and can judge the activity of any bird by looking at it, and the most active ones are either thrown into the cage after detoxification, or taken off the net or the sleeve and thrown into the cage, and those with little activity will fall to death on the spot!
After the "harvest", they gathered the dead birds together on the shore and piled them up in the shape of a mountain.
Then, whether it is the Nine Heavens Crane that has kicked its legs and stared, or the wild goose that is still moaning and convulsing and fluttering, or the sleepy shore and wild goose who is completely angry and hard, and not to mention the warblers, birds, doves, pigeons, and other things that are crying, they will pluck their feathers and bleed them one by one, disembowel and disembowel their internal organs, and wash them, bundle them, control the water, and bag them in the lake water -- this can reduce a lot of weight and facilitate transportation to the outside!
The blood of countless birds stained the lake red, the smile between the eyebrows and eyes of the two thieves reflected in the water, and the blue sky and the bright sun......
Regardless of whether the poultry meat is poisonous or not, whether it is spoiled or not, it will eventually enter the market from the hands of bird dealers, and be made into various flavors by means of barbecue, stew, braised and so on, and then disappear into the stomachs of diners...... Hundreds of millions of wild birds die in this country every year!
The cute gray at last night's conference escaped, and she screamed and flew around! In the afternoon, I met the ugly duck and brought them this shocking message!
The ugly duck and the two lovesick birds immediately wanted to go back to the rescue, but the old man resolutely disagreed!
This time, the ugly old duck showed unprecedented stubbornness: "Master Gou, don't you, I must go!" β
"Wake up, do you think this is a hero saving beauty? No, fool, you're going to die! The young man scolded.
"Then I'm going too!" The ugly duck's tone was firm.
"Are you stupid? Even if she doesn't die, even if you save her, so what? Do you think she'll be with you? No! Wake up! β
"I don't care, I'm going anyway!" The ugly old duck still insisted on his opinion.
"Are you going to limp like this? By the time you get there, the daylilies are cold! β
"Then I'm going too!" The ugly duck is still unwavering.
"Then you will die!"
The ugly duck is really obedient, he turns around and leaves, and he doesn't bring his head back!
Behind him, the male lovesick bird persuaded: "Master Yu, you can go with us, it's pitiful to be caught by them!" β
The female lovesick bird also persuaded: "Yes, yes! Master, your directional sound wave is so powerful, and you have a killing stick-"
"No, no!"
"Why?"
"Ye never goes back!" Then, the master jumped off the back of the acacia bird.
Seeing this, the mother lovesick bird said: "Oh, Lord, then let's go!" Good bye! β
Gong Xiangsi said to her: "Alas, don't be, let's go, let's go!" β
"!" The Blind Lord roared angrily.
Two lovesick birds spread their wings and chased after the ugly duck.
After they left, Master Kuo jumped on the back of the gray and said arrogantly: "Take off, take off, the direction is southeast!" β
For this gray, as long as she doesn't go back to the Lake District, she can go anywhere! As soon as he heard the order of the blind master, he really immediately flew to the southeast with him!
From afar, I heard the master shouting angrily: "A bunch of fools, let's all die!" Dead ducks! Stinky flat hair! Dead animals! I'm so angry! Hey, stupid bird, from now on, the master will requisition you as a mount and carry the master to Huaguo Mountain, understand? β
"Yes, yes!"
In the western sky, the sunset is bloody, and a round of remnants of the sun is gradually sinking......
