Guo Yang began to raise birds, and Ruyun Inn has almost become a paradise for birds.

Turtle doves, swallows, vultures, sparrows, magpies, cormorants, golden birds, snow geese, cuckoos, cuckoos, crows, yellow warblers...... Hundreds of birds are bred in separate categories.

The largest bird is the golden-winged eagle found by Guo Yang on a cliff, and its wings are inlaid with a golden edge, which is spread out for three or four feet. The golden-winged eagle's claws resemble two huge iron hooks and are said to be able to carry a foal with ease.

In order to get the golden-winged bird, Guo Yang squatted under the cliff for three days and three nights, and finally took advantage of the two eagles to go out to hunt together, only to sneak into the huge bird hole and steal the only two eggs.

Those Sky Overlords are not easy to domesticate, and can only start with the hatching of the eggs, step by step, and finally develop an intimate relationship with the newborn chicks, so that it is possible to completely control them.

The smallest bird, found by the swallow in a natural cave, is a small red-billed hummingbird, slightly larger than the bee, and many times, people think they are some kind of small flying insects.

This red-billed hummingbird is a terrifying being, not only extremely aggressive, but most troublesome of all, its reproductive ability is very strong, as long as there is enough water on the stalactites and the right temperature, they can reproduce every three to five days.

A flock of three to five thousand small red-billed hummingbirds can be packed in a small wooden box. They look fluffy and cute, combing their supple feathers with their bright red beaks from time to time. However, when they start attacking, they are a hundred times more terrifying than those vampire bats.

Guo Yang once witnessed nearly 10,000 red-billed hummingbirds attacking a female leopard, only to hear a roar of "hum~", a foggy red-billed little hummingbird, in the blink of an eye, enveloped the colorful female leopard, the leopard didn't even have time to roar, it was instantly sucked dry blood, hard, like an ancient zombie that was dried by the air, shivering in the wind, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Guo Yang was startled and felt that his scalp was about to explode.

However, with the extension of the domestication time, Guo Yang was pleased to find that these red-billed little hummingbirds were very affectionate to him, and even a little dependent, like a group of mischievous little daughters.

The most difficult thing to domesticate is the swallow, just like the fake proprietress of Ruyun Inn, not to mention her strong personality, she moves at every turn, and she doesn't care about the small cabins that Guo Yang built for them with her own hands. This made Guo Yang very depressed.

Of course, those swallows will not stay away from him, even if they move, they will build a nest under the eaves near the Ruyun Inn, "gurgling" and calling, not afraid of people at all.

Later, Guo Yang resolutely gave up domesticating swallows, because he found that swallows have an irreparable characteristic, that is, when the weather turns cold every year, these ungrateful guys fly away.

According to Guo's estimate, they should have gone to those warm places in the south to spend the winter, because, the next spring, they will come back in groups to continue laying eggs and breeding in their nests.

Sparrows are not good, the discipline is too poor, just like some idle mother-in-law, chirping non-stop, once in danger, take off together with a bang, often bump into each other dizzy, simply unreliable.

The turtledove could have been domesticated, but after three or four months of observation, Guo Yang also gave up. He found that the shameful fellows, in addition to the fact that they often stole grains such as sorghum, oats, and millet, had too short a flight distance to be of great use.

However, an occasional incident changed Guo Yang's view of these stupid birds.

It was a sunny morning, and Guo Yang, who was angry for a while, killed two disobedient turtledoves, and threw them to the swallow who was reading a book barefoot, and said hatefully: "Go, stew these two guys for me!" Lao Tzu can't work hard for three or four months in vain. ”

In less than two hours, the swallow came back with a clay pot with a smile, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Ah, Guo Yang, you stink, the birds you raise are really good, smell this soup is really fresh!" ”

When the lid of the crockpot is lifted, a peculiar fragrance comes to your nose and whets your appetite.

Guo Yang reached into the soup, scooped up a turtledove stewed badly, and tore and swallowed it like a wild dog in a few clicks.

"Hey, hey, leave me some, you're really good!" The swallow snatched the crockpot with his hand, took a stance, and ate it slowly, praising it as he ate.

Guo Yang washed the soup on his hands and said with a smile: "People say that the sparrows in the sky and the donkeys on the ground not only taste fresh and fragrant, but also a rare tonic. I didn't expect this turtledove to taste much better than a sparrow. ”

"Mmmm, it smells so good. Let's discuss something. The swallow ate something in his mouth and said mutteredly.

"Don't negotiate, those turtledoves are all yours." Guo Yang waved his hand generously and gave all the hundreds of fat turtledoves to the swallows.

……

Dozens of birds were tested, but none of them satisfied Guo Yang, which made Guo Yang frustrated at the beginning. Especially looking at the ungrateful birds that had been domesticated by him for many days, they had been out of the cage, and they flew away, Guo Yang regretted that he didn't stew and eat them earlier.

In the middle, the only bird that made Guo Yang feel a little comforted was the cormorant.

The neck of this bird is neither long nor short, and its paws are webbed, similar to that of a duck. As soon as they left the cage, they made a "fluttering" sound, and they actually burrowed directly into a lake not far away, like a clumsy fish, diving quickly in the water, pulling the surface of the water in a noticeably thin line.

Under Guo Yang's stunned gaze, the cormorant "swished" onto the water, ran back soaking wet, and landed on a log in Guo Yang's hand. It had a large bulging bag around its neck, and it seemed to be still moving.

Guo Yang hesitated to grab the cormorant, pinched and squeezed it with his hand, and a fish "snapped" to the ground, still jumping on its own.

"Is that okay?" Guo Yang couldn't laugh or cry.

What he needed was a bird that could fly long distances and be able to return, and this stupid bird could only fish. However, compared with stupid people such as sparrows, yellow warblers, canaries, and crows, the cormorant finally gave Guo Yang a little surprise.

Among the domesticated birds of Guo Yang, there are three remaining untested, that is, magpies, pigeons and snow geese.

He was not very optimistic about magpies and pigeons, because he felt that they were too small to last long, even if they flew fast. But the snow goose, with its wings spread more than a foot wide, flies fast and is very smooth, if it can return after release, it is undoubtedly the most ideal bird.

Guo Yang rode a bantam horse and galloped into the distance for a long time, and then released all three birds.

Under his nose, as soon as the magpie came out of the cage, it was dizzy for a long time, and then it stumbled away in a random direction.

"Fuck, you're a bullshit magpie, you're a stupid guy worse than the crow I let out last time!" Guo Yang was so angry that he scolded.

The snow goose did well, out of the cage, first stretched its body, but also moved its wings, with a beautiful beak to comb the feathers, and then fluttered its wings and soared into the sky.

Guo Yang rode on horseback, half-squinted, staring carefully at the snow goose with an elegant flying posture, and secretly prayed in his heart: "Fly back, fly back, fly to our moon fox courtyard!" ”

The snow goose flew higher and higher, and finally turned into a faint little gray spot, flew some distance in the direction of return, and then, drawing an elegant arc in the blue sky, flew in another direction.

Guo Yang's eyes were a little sleepy, and he couldn't help blinking, and when he looked at it again, there was still the shadow of the snow goose!

"You bear me!" Guo Yang was furious and scolded the sky endlessly, which lasted for a whole hour, scolding the swear words he had heard since he was a child two or three times, and even creatively invented more than a dozen new words for scolding birds.

Enough scolding, and tired of scolding, Guo Yang didn't even notice where the gray pigeon died.

He was devastated.

Most of the time was wasted, not to mention, and when I went back, I had to suffer the cynicism of the swallow girl, which was more uncomfortable than killing him. As soon as he thought of that second-hand girl, he could imagine that he would be a man with his tail between his legs for a long time.

Even, when necessary, in front of that brutal girl, you still need to wag your tail and be a man!

A huge sense of frustration hit Guo Yang's self-confidence hard, and looking at the direction of returning to Ruyun Inn, Guo Yang felt a little afraid for the first time.

"Damn swallow, damn bird!"

Guo Yang wailed in his heart, reluctantly got on the horse, and returned to the Ruyun Inn with his head down.
