187. Talking starling

When Niu Dan escaped the mountain road trampled by the elephant and looked for Ren Xiaoyao, Ren Xiaoyao followed closely at this time with the two birds that could only talk. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

To be precise, two talking starlings.

The two starlings were found by Ren Xiaoyao in a large river on a hill, and he had been looking for starlings for a long time, but he didn't find them, and he was about to find the river to extract river sand.

It was found that two starlings were pecking at the river while talking about the Sunset Country, which scared Ren Xiaoyao, who was pumping river sand in the river.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't see the two starlings at first, and when he heard the words, he thought he had encountered a ghost, and later saw the two starlings on the bank of the river.

Two starlings, one beak vermilion, black tip, head and neck mercerized white, dark gray back, **** light gray-white, two wings and tail black, with blue-green metallic luster.

Seeing this starling, Ren Xiaoyao was immediately excited, and quickly stopped pumping river sand and carefully observed the bird.

After careful observation, Ren Xiaoyao found that this starling was a mercerized starling, and Ren Xiaoyao was even more excited.

Originally, he thought that starlings flew away with the season, but he didn't expect starlings to be there.

This silky starling is a relatively alternative starling of the starling family, and most starlings are migratory and traveling birds, and will migrate with the seasons.

However, although the mercerized starlings also migrate, the mercerized starlings will leave some starlings as resident birds to wander around the camp.

Resident birds are birds that live in one place all year round and do not migrate with the seasons, usually living in their birthplaces and breeding areas, and the mercerized starling is this kind of bird.

Knowing that it was a mercerized starling, it was not surprising that Ren Xiaoyao spoke to the two starlings.

As we all know, the birds that can speak human language are nothing more than parrots, wrens, and starlings, but few people know that wrens and starlings are also birds of the starling family.

In fact, most starlings can speak human language and imitate various calls, but the clarity of the sound is different.

It's just that wrens and starlings are famous, and they imitate all kinds of sounds, and their language is clear and sweet and loud, and other starlings are not loved by humans.

Along with the mercerized starling is a starling.

The whole head of this starling is black, the top of the head and the crown of feathers have a blue-black metallic luster, the back of the neck is black with white longitudinal stripes, which is a mixture of black and white, and there is a large light brownish-white spot on the side of the neck, which forms a white neck side together with the back of the neck, and the rest of the upper body is black-brown.

Ren Xiaoyao saw this starling, if he guessed correctly, this is a white-collar starling.

As the name suggests, white-collar starlings are called white-collar starlings because they have a pinch of white spots on the back of their necks.

Because they belong to the same family, starlings and starlings are very friendly. From time to time, a pecked insect will be thrown in front of the mercerized starling.

However, Ren Xiaoyao is very curious about the origin of these two birds who can only speak human words.

There are three species of birds that can speak, one species of starling, and the other two species are parrotidae and crows.

Among the starlings, the best speaker is the wren, followed by the starling, and finally the other starlings.

The mercerized starling has a mediocre ability to speak, and can only be ranked in the lower middle of the starling family, and many starlings speak better than it. Like black-collared starlings, etc.

Anyone who has ever raised a cage bird knows that if you want a bird to speak, you must teach it from an early age, and adult birds can't learn it.

And these two birds, with clear articulation and fluent speech, are obviously disciplined. Or live in a place where there are people and slowly learn on your own.

After all, if someone raises it, it means that there is no population, so there is no bird to be his "pregnant mother", so he can't hatch eggs and eggs, and he can't deal with the "army of locusts".

In a word: it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

No bird produces eggs, no eggs, even if he has the space of the fairy realm, he can't conjure birds out of thin air.

.....

......

But the result was good, Ren Xiaoyao followed the starling and starling to a broad-leaved jungle.

Most of the broad-leaved forests are broad-leaved trees with fruits, such as banyan trees and camphor trees. There are also quite a few fruit trees, such as ginkgo, pomegranate, etc.

What surprised Ren Xiaoyao the most was that this broad-leaved forest, because of its special geographical location, also has many common greening trees on the earth, such as osmanthus trees, cherry blossoms, plum blossoms and other flower trees.

Tall, broad trees wrap around relatively dwarf flowering trees, and the canopy is dense and dark green.

Underground, probably because of the lack of sunlight, there are no overgrown weeds in the other woods, just a few dwarf four-leaf clovers that cover the ground. In the crevices of the four-leaf clover, there are many brown and moldy fruits.

The entire broad-leaved forest is thousands of square meters in size.

However, what makes Ren Xiaoyao strange is that there are three kinds of birds living in this broad-leaved forest, in addition to the silky starling and the white-collar starling, there are also green woodpeckers.

There are quite a few woodpeckers, dozens of them.

These dozens of woodpeckers add a lot of shelter to the starlings in the broadleaf forest.

Because starlings like to be in tree hollows and wall holes, but they are not like woodpeckers and have the ability to peck holes, so they rely very much on woodpeckers' abandoned holes.

It may be because of the fruits of the broad-leaved forest, the special geographical location, and the abandoned holes of woodpeckers that these silky starlings and white-collar starlings are kept.

"There is food and shelter, and such a beautiful environment, I am a bird and will stay."

Ren Xiaoyao listened to the chirping of birds, the sound of woodpeckers pecking wood, looked at the silky broad-leaved forest, and sighed.

"But strange, how are these birds not afraid of people? They don't fly away when they see me. ”

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the leisurely bird in the tree and muttered to himself.

As soon as the words fell, several yin and yang weird cries came into Ren Yaoyao's ears.

"The cloth is overdue, how do these birds lay up the cards? Seeing me too, the cloth flew away. ”

"The ministry is too angry, how do these birds lay out people? Seeing me too, the cloth flew away. ”

"Step over seven obedient, how do these birds lay out people? Seeing me too, the cloth flew away. ”

When Ren Xiaoyao heard these voices, he was stunned for a moment, and looked up to see the small leaf banyan tree next to him, several white-collar starlings looked at him, their mouths opened and closed, repeating what he said just now.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at a few starlings crying and laughing, and teased: "Don't learn from Lao Tzu, I'm angry, and the consequences are very strict....."

However, before he finished speaking, the same cry sounded in the broad-leaved forest, which made Ren Xiaoyao stunned.

Listening to the non-standard words of "single song loop", Ren Yao was speechless, and shouted loudly: "Shut up, and if you quarrel again, Lao Tzu will take you all away." ”

However, instead of keeping their mouths shut, the mercerized starling and the white-collar starling became even more excited.

Twittering learned Ren Yao's tone and said:

"If you don't get drunk, you will be thrown away if you knock Lao Tzu again."

"If you don't get drunk, you will be thrown away if you knock Lao Tzu again."

"If you don't get drunk, you will be thrown away if you knock Lao Tzu again."

.....

Ren Xiaoyao was speechless for a moment, looked at the starlings and starlings in the broad-leaved forest speechlessly, turned his head to look at the green woodpeckers who were still working hard, and whispered:

"It seems that it is not a good thing to have more birds, especially talking birds, these birds don't know who raised them..."

Just now, he walked all the way and found that on the periphery of this broad-leaved forest, there were many plants that snakes hated, such as heavy buildings, impatiens, wild cassia and so on.

Chonglou is a traditional Chinese medicine name, and the original name has a very poetic name--- Seven Leaves and One Branch.

Seven leaves and one branch flower has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, cooling the liver and calming the convulsion, and is used for boils and carbuncles, sore throat, snake bites, fall pain, and convulsions.

It is a very expensive traditional Chinese medicine.

In addition to the way of medicine, the seven-leaf flower also has another use, that is, to repel snakes.

There is such a legend about the seven-leaf flower to drive snakes:

According to legend, once upon a time there was a village called Higashiyama, where an elderly couple lived with seven lively sons and a beautiful daughter.

Seven brothers are engaged in cultivating land and sowing seeds, and the younger sister goes up to the mountains to pick flowers and tea, and the family lives a very happy life.

One year, a big python suddenly appeared in the village, which was very ferocious, often swallowing sheep and eating people, making chickens and dogs restless and panicking.

The seven brothers were determined to eliminate harm for the people and fight with the python, but they all died, and the younger sister practiced martial arts in order to avenge her brother, and put on a dress woven with embroidered needles to fight with the python, and as a result, she also became the belly of the python.

Because the metal embroidery needle stabbed the entrails of the python like a sharp knife, and finally the python died, so the mountain village returned to peace, but the old couple lost their son and daughter, and they were very sad and cried every day.

Later, it was discovered that a strange plant with seven leaves holding a flower grew in the place where the python was buried.

Someone used mashed grass to apply the wound of a poisonous snake bite, and soon the wound healed. Since then, the seven-leaf flower has become a famous medicine for the treatment of poisonous snake bites.

It was also used as a snake repellent plant by later generations.

Wild cassia and impatiens also have the same use, and they are two plants that snakes hate very much.

As soon as you smell these plants, you will turn around and leave.

There are only a few natural predators of birds, because they can fly and have very flexible bodies, in addition to their kind, birds of prey such as eagles, and there are also humans who think they have the highest IQ in their biological clock.

The last type is the snake that many people fear.

Snakes have movable eyelids, no ear holes, no limbs, and limb girdles, but they rely on the snake's tongue to perceive and discern the location of living things.

Combined with the explosiveness and concealment of the snake body, most of the birds were killed by them before they had time to escape, and they were treated as real objects.

When Ren Xiaoyao heard that these starlings and starlings could speak, he began to suspect that these birds were domesticated.

Or maybe someone made this broad-leaved forest for these birds, and often came to feed them.

Starlings are the most vocal of all talking birds, more so than parrots.

Parrots are loved by the masses only because parrots are more gifted than starlings and imitate human language.

Because birds do not have vocal cords, birds speak through their vocal tubes.

And parrots are easier to imitate human voices than starlings' vocal tubes, and they have congenital talents, so parrots rank first in imitation.

When it comes to sound, there is no one more curious than the starling, which has to be shot second, and no bird just ranks first.

Therefore, Ren Xiaoyao deduced that the starlings and starlings in the broad-leaved forest were not domesticated by humans, but often fed by people.

"What a weirdo, do you like birds so much? Feeding and repelling snakes, there are tens of thousands of starlings and starlings. ”

Ren Xiaoyao determined the reason why these birds could speak, complained, and said.

"However, I really have to thank this person, if it weren't for him/her who created this broad-leaved forest, I really couldn't find the starlings, I would have laughed and accepted."

Ren Yao said shamelessly.

Looking at the eight starlings on the tree who were leisurely imitating what he said, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help it, and muttered to himself:

"If only space could compete with gravity, and directly collect this broad-leaved forest into space."

Ren Xiaoyao really didn't want to destroy the food chain of this broad-leaved forest because of locusts.

In nature, animal survival is a very difficult thing, to beware of all kinds of natural predators, but also natural disasters.

There is no area like this broad-leaved forest where you can live leisurely.

If it weren't for someone planting heavy buildings, wild cassia and impatiens on the periphery of the broad-leaved forest, I am afraid there would not be this scene.

Although the starlings in the forest have natural predators such as humans and eagles, they are simply a paradise compared to other birds.

Ren Xiaoyao mainly does not want to destroy the ecology of the rare broad-leaved forest, and secondly, there are many greening trees in this broad-leaved forest that he needs.

These trees are dispensable to others, but they are indispensable for Ren Xiaoyao's single-minded desire to build a city that is not much different from the earth.

In addition, there are many beautiful flowers and trees in the broad-leaved forest, which are very suitable for greening trees.

"Space can't be opposed by the power of the Earth's Centric Shadow, but isn't it possible to bypass the gravitational pull of the terrain and take this land into space?"

Ren Xiaoyao thought about it for a long time, but he really didn't want to destroy the status quo of this broad-leaved forest, and a crazy idea came to his mind.

He planned to use the shovel and knife in the space to collect this broad-leaved forest into the space. But Ren Xiaoyao didn't know if it was feasible.

.....

.....

However, as soon as Ren Xiaoyao took out the shovel and knife that came with the space from Najie and was about to start construction, he heard an echo from the valley.

"Getaway... Happy... Where are you? Don't be afraid, I'm here....."

Ren Xiaoyao heard the rough echo and was speechless.

He knew that the sound was the sound of a cow's egg, and he guessed why the cow's egg had come to him.

"It will be tomorrow now, if only it was a little late, but today's harvest is not bad, and the clay and river sand are ready."

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at the starlings and starlings in the broad-leaved forest, and muttered to himself.

Last night, today, in addition to looking for starlings and terns everywhere, Ren Xiaoyao did not forget the purpose of returning to Renjia Village on this trip.

In the course of a day and a night, two raw materials for the construction of the house have been prepared.

After speaking, he glanced at the sky and turned his head to run in the direction of the sound.

Although Ren Xiaoyao didn't know where this was the mountain range, he knew that this was not an extension of the mountain range.

There are many beasts that are not usually seen here, such as tigers, jungle beasts, he has not encountered before.

Fear of cow egg alone in danger.

Ren Xiaoyao came here by relying on the ability to collect space and the ability to slash with a knife.

And Niu Dan has no space and a knife, and when he encounters a jungle beast, he will definitely die.

However, he didn't know that the eggs were covered in blood.
