Chapter 67: A Hundred Birds Come to the Court
Walking through a small cage, Yang Guo and his party suddenly heard a strange voice: "Hello! β
Who's saying hello? They turned around and looked for it, but there was no one else in front of them or behind them.
βHelloοΌβ Just when Yang Guo and the others were in doubt, the strange voice sounded again, and this time Yang Guo found out that it was a black starling in the cage next to him who was probing his head and talking.
Seeing the starling's head stretching and shrinking, and twisting his head to look at them, Qiqi didn't know why she became very happy, she writhed excitedly in Yang Guo's arms, and clapped her little hands and babbled loudly, and the crisp sound overshadowed the sporadic bird calls in the park for a while.
That's when a surprising scene happened! With Kiki's cry of joy, all the birds in the garden, which had been a little sleepy, all boiled, flapping their wings and flying to the nearest corner of Kiki, and the whole Mingchun Valley was drowned out by the singing of all kinds of birds. If there were no cages separated by each other, I'm afraid they would all fly straight over.
"Peacock is on!" The sharp-eyed kitten pointed at the peacock that had just made her return in vain. Yang Guo looked over, really, the proud peacock actually faced them, and the tail feathers behind it slowly opened like a folding fan, reflecting the sun, and it looked very beautiful.
Song Zhiwen hurriedly took out his SLR camera and pressed it violently.
The starling next to him didn't forget to grab a few shots, it also jumped to the edge of the cage, grabbed the wire firmly with its two paws, and shouted: "Hello! I love you! β
Its strange pronunciation made Yang Guo and the others laugh, and in their happiness, they forgot that all this commotion was caused by Kiki's scream. When other tourists saw this rare scene of a hundred birds coming to the pilgrimage, they all raised their cameras one after another, and hurriedly took pictures of these rare birds and birds when they showed their most beautiful side, and they didn't care to trace the source of the incident.
There is also a white parrot next to it, dancing excitedly in the cage, just to attract Kiki's attention.
However, after Qiqi called once, she sat quietly on her father's chest and continued to look around, and did not continue to make noise, so the commotion of those birds gradually subsided, and even the peacock with its tail open, after Yang Guo and they walked away, also put away its beautiful tail feathers and hid back behind the bushes.
The tourists who came up in the back listened to the tourists in front of them excitedly talking about what had just happened, and found that they had missed such a spectacular scene because they were lazy on the road.
Walking down, Yang Guo and the others finally saw the red-crowned crane that they had been looking for for a long time! These red-crowned cranes look very well maintained, their plumage is smooth and moist, and their whole body, except for the throat, neck, tail feathers and long legs are black, and the top of the head is vermilion, and the other parts of the feathers are flawless white. Watching them stroll leisurely inside their cages is simply not too elegant!
Seeing that there were tourists coming, the red-crowned cranes slowly walked over and looked at Yang Guo and them, their eyes were gentle. The kitten stepped forward, and a red-crowned crane came up, tilting its head to look at her (in fact, the red-crowned crane wanted her to feed), which made her very happy, and quickly asked Song Zhiwen to take a picture of her.
Seeing such a beautiful creature, Yang Guo couldn't hold back, he stepped forward, half-squatted, and greeted the red-crowned cranes with a smile. Kiki saw it, and was also very happy, stretched out her hand to get close to the cage, but out of reach, she turned around and patted her father's chest gently.
"No, you can't touch it, what if it pecks you?" Yang Guo persuaded Qiqi lightly, but Qiqi didn't care, seeing that her father refused to act, she hummed and screamed softly with some dissatisfaction.
At this time, Yang Guo saw that the largest and most beautiful red-crowned crane came over, bent his head, and shrunk his long beak into the cage, while the round head stretched out, and the red top gently rubbed against the cage net. Is this asking someone to touch it? Yang Guo felt a little incredible, such an empathetic red-crowned crane had never been seen in a book! (Except, of course, for Xianxia novels.) οΌ
Qiqi was already rubbing impatiently on Yang Guo's chest, her beautiful big eyes were misty at this time, it seemed that if her father didn't agree again, she would immediately cry to her father! Yang Guo had no choice but to slowly bend over the letter suspiciously, and his right hand was still in front of him, to prevent the red-crowned crane from reacting too aggressively and hurting Qiqi.
However, he soon found that his worries were a little unnecessary, and the red-crowned crane was very quiet. Kiki's little hand gently touched the red-crowned crane's head, as if the elders were reassuring the juniors, and the red-crowned cranes were not not unhappy, but narrowed their brown eyes very enjoyed.
Kiki was very happy, and after withdrawing her hand, she patted her father's right hand and laughed deliciously.
Just straightened his waist, but Yang Guo found that the red-crowned cranes in the cage were not calm. Led by the largest and most beautiful red-crowned crane just now, they ran and jumped in the air in a small cage, spreading their wings, stretching their waists, and raising their heads. The leader of the big red-crowned crane with its beak pointing upwards, its head raised to the sky, its wings towering up, and the "Drink!" Drink! Drink! The other red-crowned cranes echoed each other, singing to each other, bending over and jumping, or raising their heads and kicking, or walking with their wings outstretched, or bowing their backs. They dance so beautifully that it's so refreshing to watch that they can't wait to put on a pair of wings and join their team.
It's the Crane Dance! Yang Guo watched it for a long time before he was surprised to remember, the scene that he had only seen in CCTV's animal world before! It's really rare to be able to see it with your own eyes in front of such a small cage now!
Not only Yang Guo, but also Song Zhiwen, Kitten, and Duan Xueqing were all stupid, and it wasn't until the crane dance gradually stopped that they came back to their senses from such a beautiful dance. Yang Guo turned his head and asked Song Zhiwen, saying, "Mosquito, did you shoot it?" β
Song Zhiwen shook the SLR in his hand with a look of annoyance, and said, "No, I just thought about it and forgot to take a picture." β
"What a pity!" The kitten sighed, and Duan Xueqing nodded in agreement.
"It's okay," Yang Guo comforted them, "If you can watch it again, it can be regarded as no regrets on this trip, so don't expect too much!" β
Indeed, this scene should only exist in heaven, how many times can we see it on earth? To be able to enjoy such a beautiful scene up close and leave it deep in my memory is already the best gift from God!
After seeing the crane dance, only a bare mountain wall and a flowing water dripping rock could not attract Yang Guo and them to stop and watch, they followed the original route and climbed in the direction of Jiulong Spring.
After climbing for a long time, the sun was close to noon, and the girls were sweating profusely and tired.
"It's almost time to Jiulong Spring, let's rest there!" Song Zhiwen proposed. Yang Guo was still in good spirits, but after seeing the girls' expressions, he nodded and agreed to Song Zhiwen's proposal.
When they arrived at Jiulong Spring, Yang Guo and the others found a shady place, took out a plastic carpet from Yang Guo's backpack, spread it under the shade of a tree, and then everyone sat on it and ate the lunch box they bought in the morning. Because they were so tired, the girls only ate a few bites of their food and put it down. Having expected it for a long time, Yang Guo smiled and took out a few large red apples from his large backpack that were washed and packed in bags, as well as a jar of canned fruit.
The kitten was pleasantly surprised: "Wow! Is your backpack a Tinker Bell pocket? Is there anything else good in there? Take it out! It made everyone laugh.
Yang Guo was not in a hurry to eat, but took out the thermos pot and the milk bottle that had been poured milk powder in the backpack, and used hot water to make a bottle of milk for Qiqi to drink.
After eating, at noon, everyone took the opportunity to take a rest, and the energetic Yang Guo had nothing to do, so he walked around with Song Zhiwen's SLR. As he walked, he came to the Yangcheng Stele Forest.
Yangcheng Stele Forest has collected many poems and calligraphy works of celebrities, literati and writers in the past dynasties to praise Lingnan, Yangcheng and Baiyun Mountain. The black marble stele is quietly erected on the side of the mountain road, hidden in the dense green leaves, Yang Guo carefully observed the font on it, the handwriting on each stele is different, but the font written is either strong or elegant, even Yang Guo, a person who does not know calligraphy, thinks it looks very good.
Perhaps, it's time to practice calligraphy in the future! Yang Guo thought in his heart, he typed on the computer every day, but the words he wrote were a little ugly, and now looking at the masterpieces of famous artists, Yang Guo was very envious!
When Yang Guo walked back, the army was ready to set off again. If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and Yangcheng also has a saying: "If you don't go to Baiyun Mountain, you won't be counted as having been to Yangcheng; If you don't go to Davis Mountain, you can't climb Baiyun Mountain! Under Song Zhiwen's instigation, the girls gritted their teeth and began to climb up again.
This time, Yang Guo said that he would not let Duan Xueqing continue to carry her backpack, he took Duan Xueqing's backpack in his hand and carried it, this weight was nothing to Yang Guo, let her travel lightly and climb the mountain a little easier. Duan Xueqing accompanied Yang Guo to climb up step by step, although she did not lean on each other like a couple, Duan Xueqing felt sweet in her heart.
The kitten's backpack was also given to Song Zhiwen, but halfway through the climb, Song Zhiwen couldn't do it, and finally handed it over to Yang Guo. Even so, when they climbed to the mountain, everyone was almost tired and paralyzed, and Yang Guo, who was carrying a large bag and a small bag, was still alive and well.
Duan Xueqing leaned against the stone railing panting, and the bangs in front of her forehead were wet with sweat and stuck to it messily. She suddenly saw a big and broad hand suddenly stretched out in front of her, holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand, and when she looked up, Yang Guozheng looked at her with a smile and said, "Take a sip of water, see you're tired." β
"Hmm." Duan Xueqing lowered her head slightly and took the water, her cheeks suddenly turned red, I don't know if it was because she was tired from climbing the mountain or what, she looked so beautiful.
However, Yang Guo didn't pay attention, he had already turned around and handed water to Song Zhiwen and the two of them.
In the afternoon, we climbed the mountain for more than an hour, and then everyone rested and took pictures at the top of the mountain for almost an hour. When going down the mountain, when we walked to the place of the cable car, everyone didn't want to go any further, so we bought tickets together to take the cable car down the mountain.
Looking down at the pedestrians along the way from a high altitude, Yang Guo suddenly found that he had seen so many beautiful scenery today, and his travel knowledge was really wonderful. It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, that's probably what it feels like, right?
Yang Guo remembered his dream of becoming a food traveler, if he traveled around the world, he might see more wonderful things!
