18. Highway plan
"Ah, someone's coming! Someone's coming! The voice continued to sound, Wang Bo was stunned, he could easily judge from the sand table that it was this little bird that made the sound!
It was still the same feeling, the voice was crisp but the tone was awkward, and he magnified the bird's appearance, with moire feathers, a round head, a short tail, red tail feathers, and a curved beak, it was obvious that it was a parrot!
All of a sudden, Wang Bo understood what was going on with the haunting of the castle, and it was this parrot who was talking in the castle that night!
Also, no wonder Charlie threw a bunch of wild grapes, which were food for parrots, and were probably stolen by this little guy!
He waved his hand and grabbed the little parrot and brought it to him, and the little one trembled with fright, and cried out there with his eyes closed: "Ahh It's not delicious! Ah, ah, it's not delicious! ”
This parrot is about ten centimeters long, with childishness on its body, and it doesn't know how to speak. However, it is quite clever, not as stupid as ordinary birds, and it can be sensed by what it says that it has a certain intelligence, and knows that if caught, it may be eaten.
In this way, the truth about the haunting of the castle was revealed, and the two were frightened by a parrot that night.
This can't blame them for being cowardly, who would have thought that there was a parrot in the castle? It's not native to New Zealand, so you don't know where it came from.
Comparing the appearance of the parrot, he wanted to check its identity on the Internet.
But his mobile phone signal is super bad now, and the phone almost can't go out, so he finally called Charlie, but before he could speak, Charlie said first: "Why can't your phone get through?" By the way, you called me, did the person in charge of the road administration of the traffic management bureau and the Australian Leiden company go to repair the road? ”
Wang Bo said helplessly: "My mobile phone has almost no signal here, and I called it several times before I called you." Wait, what do you say? ”
"OK, I thought the engineering team had arrived in town. Yes, the government has long wanted to build a road within his territory, connecting the city of Omalama and Cromwell, the road is more than 50 kilometers long, set as a two-way four-lane, 12 meters wide, and a construction team will immediately go to the territory to start construction. ”
This news made Wang Bo very excited, to get rich first to build roads, as long as there is a highway connecting the two cities, then the traffic flow will inevitably increase greatly, after all, further southwest is Queenstown, a famous tourist attraction in New Zealand, there must be many tourists driving through here.
In this way, with the flow of traffic, shops, inns, restaurants, etc., can be developed along the way, and slowly the town can develop.
"The big news is that this highway is planned to be a section of Route 8, understand? Route Eight, yes, Route Eight! Man, your town has a great future, because it's going to have a stretch of Highway 8! Finally, Charlie broke out another piece of great news.
Highway 8 is one of the main roads in the South Island, known as the most beautiful road in New Zealand, it starts from the South Island Timaru and ends in the beautiful small town of Milton, running through the central and southern parts of the South Island, passing through plain pastures, rivers and lakes, river valleys and mountains, roadside scenery is endless, and it is very famous in the world.
There is nothing to do these days, Wang Bo bought a map to study, he knows that there is more than one road to be built in the town, so he has been carefully studying the condition of the South Island Highway and has a little understanding of Highway 8.
First overjoyed, then questioned, he asked, "Hasn't Highway 8 been in operation for a long time?" It communicates with Omarama and Cromwell, how can you add a paragraph? ”
Charlie explains: "Quite simply, because there is a stretch of road between Omarama and Lindiswali that needs to be renovated, and it has been in use for so long. As a result, the council simply decided to build a new section of the road to replace the old road, and the old section of the road would be renamed Route 8 and replaced with Local Road 84. ”
In fact, the original Route 8 plan was not to go from the location of the old road, but when the road was built, the Roberts family did not allow the road to pass through the territory, and the New Zealand Land Transport Authority had no choice but to change the route of the road.
In fact, compared to the plains of Sunsettown, another section of the road is hilly and has poor geology, and often needs maintenance and repairs, so now Sunset Collar has been changed to Sunset Town, and the New Zealand Parliament has decided to use the original Plan 1 to build the most reasonable Highway 8.
Of course, it's a win-win situation, and Wang Bo can't wait for the day this highway is built.
The approval of the section of Highway 8 became a milestone in the construction of the town, and its appearance marked the official start of the construction of Sunset Town.
After chatting about the news of the road construction, Charlie asked, "Then why are you calling me?" ”
Wang Bo then remembered his original intention, and quickly described the appearance of the little parrot in his hand, and after listening to it, Charlie laughed: "This is an African gray parrot, and the tail is bright red, right?" ”
He then described the characteristics of the African grey parrot, firstly, it has a strong ability to speak, and secondly, it is gifted and intelligent, and it is known for being good at imitating human language.
In the ranking of the world's various parrots' speaking ability, the African gray parrot is always at the top, don't look at their appearance, but their ability to learn to speak is very strong, and their IQ is also the highest among parrots.
After finding out the truth about the haunting of the castle, Lao Wang was happy, he hung up Charlie's phone, and released the little parrot with open palms.
As soon as it was free, the little parrot flapped its wings and flew away. But it didn't go far, but circled around the top of the old king's head, and then pulled a bubble of......
"Let's chirp", just landed on Lao Wang's shoulder, seeing this parrot was very proud, flapping its wings and fleeing while shouting: "Ah, pull your!" Ahhh ”
Damn, this little thing is too clever, and his IQ is not ordinarily high. The old king was interested, he wanted to let the little parrot go, so he decided to adopt the little thing.
With another wave of his hand in the sand table, the little parrot fell into Wang Bo's hand again.
This time it was dumbfounded, flying and suddenly appearing in the hands of others, and with its little walnut-like brain, it must not have understood what was going on. Shrunk in Wang Bo's palm, the little parrot stared at the boss with black bean-like eyes, and a bewildered expression on the bird's face with a capital letter......
"You're my pet from now on, you know?" Wang Bo looked at it and said.
As a result, he opened his mouth and showed his teeth, and the little parrot struggled with all his might: "Ah, it's not delicious! Ah, it's not delicious! Ahhh ”
Wang Bo laughed, he opened his hand, and the little parrot immediately flew away again. Then it flew up and fell into his hands out of thin air, and so on several times, and the little parrot resigned itself to his fate, and did not fly away even if he opened his hand.
In this way, Lao Wang was satisfied, he put the little parrot on his shoulder, and said, "Follow me in the future, do you understand honestly?" ”
