Chapter 301: Surprises Happen
After lunch, Zhang Qian was still unwilling to lead her, but these little guys didn't look at her as the master at all. Just squatting in the nest and "abruptly" coping. Zhang Qian was quite unwilling, and finally got into a small temper and beat it with a small wooden stick by the bird's nest.
I didn't expect this to provoke the starlings, they flapped their wings and rushed over, and their mouths were a fierce peck.
"Ah......h The little guy had sharp claws and a sharp mouth, and it seemed to have been twisted the back of his hand, and it hurt and hurt.
"What's wrong?" Hearing that his wife's voice was wrong, Liu Junhao hurriedly ran over.
"It's not these two starlings, look at the ones who pecked my hands, they're about to bleed." Zhang Qian's eyes were red, she hadn't experienced this kind of injury for a long time.
"This is worth it, even the master dares to peck it, be careful that I pluck them at night and have a braised starling." Although Liu Junhao disagreed with this small injury, he still had to stand firm and stand with his wife in the face of major rights and wrongs.
He picked up the stick and struck it vigorously on the monkey's nest, and the loud sound immediately alarmed the two little ones.
"Squeak ......" Suddenly, a starling suddenly opened his mouth and screamed, and then rushed up and pecked.
The monkey is called...... Liu Junhao completely forgot to dodge, and Zhang Qian didn't blow the wound again. Both were dumbfounded. When did this starling learn to call a monkey?
The starling pecked a few bites, but it seemed that the person did not respond, and then fell back into the nest.
"Ah" Before Liu Junhao could react, he suddenly felt his waist being twisted fiercely. When he turned his head, he saw his wife's jade hand on his waist.
"What are you screwing me for?" Liu Junhao was quite confused, when did his wife learn domestic violence.
"I want to see if I'm dreaming...... It turns out not, you know it hurts. Zhang Qian is full of words.
"Then you screw yourself," Liu Junhao couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
"I'm afraid of pain," she replied confidently, and then asked with a wink, "Did you hear me right, are you sure that voice just now was called by Starling, not Wukong?" When she was completely sober, Zhang Qian became a little confused again.
"Don't you want to lay down ...... again" Liu Junhao was also interested, and then stretched out his hand to pat a few times on the outer wall of the wooden plank.
"Wangwang......" The feathers on the other starling exploded like a hedgehog, but the mouth made a small bark sound.
No, the two of them began to faint again. This little guy even learned to bark at some point.
"Keep fighting" Zhang Qian picked up a small stick and beat it again as if she had discovered a new world.
"Meow ......" "Cluck...... The two starlings rushed up with a scream and pecked at them.
Both were frozen there now, not responding at all.
The hen lays eggs, Xiaopi roars, Doudou grows, and Wukong screams...... When did this little guy learn so many languages.
"Husband, our starling is a genius...... Zhang Qian's tone was a little excited.
Talented...... Absolute genius. I've seen it on the Internet before that it's not an easy thing to train a starling to speak. It generally takes more than half a year, and during this period, the master needs to teach word by word every day. And the two monkeys in his family usually look like babies, and they hold the bird's nest tightly wherever they go, and they don't let Liu Junhao have a chance to contact at all, let alone teach them to speak.
"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Wang. You hurry up and take a look, my starling can speak...... "There are good things, Zhang Qian naturally thinks of sharing them with others." Professor Zhao and his family were sitting in the shade of a tree on the side of the road, and when they heard her shout, they followed into the courtyard.
"Call, learn two yellow-spotted skins and tell me to eat grasshoppers for you" In order to let the starling speak, Zhang Qian took out all the grasshoppers that were originally going to feed the little swallow.
As soon as they saw the food, they immediately fluttered and landed on her hands. But when the food was finished, it fell back into the nest cleanly again.
These two guys don't admit it after wiping their mouths after eating. Zhang Qian was suddenly annoyed, and hit the nest with a wooden stick.
"Wangwang......" Starling blew up his wings again.
"Really......" Professor Zhao and the two opened their mouths wide.
Keep hitting ...... "meow...... Giggle...... Scratch ...... Chirp......"
They don't know how to praise it anymore, basically the animal sounds in the yard, the two little starlings will do.
However, what is depressing is that this bird belongs to the type of toast and do not eat and drink. You are kind enough to let it speak, but you don't want to answer. took out a wooden stick and beat the threat, but it screamed wildly, as if it had been greatly wronged.
"I remember hearing people say before that if you want a starling to speak, you have to twist your tongue, you starlings don't seem to have twisted your tongue, right?" After a while, Mr. Wang asked a key question. It is generally believed that in order for a starling to speak, it must have its tongue rounded. The tongue twisting process requires the cooperation of two people. A person gently holds the bird's body to prevent it from breaking free and running away. The other holds the bird's head, then uses his finger to stick the beak of the main bird open, and then twists some incense ash on the index finger after the beak is opened. The power goes from light to heavy. Until the end of the tongue twists a layer of tongue shell. Half a month later, a second time is needed to completely round the bird's tongue.
When training, choose a secluded place and spend a lot of time every day cultivating affection for the bird.
"We don't understand at all, when we were playing on the computer today, we heard a hen crowing under the sofa, but after a long time, a starling ran out. If it weren't for that, we'd still be in the dark. I haven't taught it to speak at all, how can I know if I twist my tongue or not......" Zhang Qian also felt that this matter was mysterious.
Liu Junhao heard that the process of twisting his tongue was a little cruel, so he never had the idea of implementing it.
"Actually, this is a misunderstanding, starlings can speak without twisting their tongues. There is no scientific basis for this method of tongue twisting. Someone has done experiments, and the chance of learning to speak is the same as that of a starling who has not twisted his tongue......" Professor Zhao took over at this time, "But it seems that you have never taught this in your family, right?" ”
"Completely self-taught!" Regarding this, the two of them think that Starling is a genius.
"I think so...... I can probably guess the reason why starlings learn so many sounds. Professor Zhao thought for a moment and found an explanation that he thought was reasonable, "These two little guys were stolen back by Wukong before they opened their eyes, they have never seen their kind since they were children, they subconsciously regard monkeys as their parents, so they learned to call monkeys." There is also this monkey nest close to the chicken coop and Qingzhuang nest, they listen to the hens and Qingzhuang in their ears every day, and gradually learn to ......"
It should be said that the old man's explanation still makes some sense. It's really close to Zhu Zhechi, close to the monkey and demon. These two little guys have really been taught to be demons by Wu Air Conditioner. Then again, which animal in the courtyard is not a demon?
At the end, Old Man Zhao spoke again: "I used to see in the flower and bird market that the starling brother can recite Tang poems." This starling is smart, if you train more when you are idle, they will definitely be able to learn. ”
"Really?" Before Liu Junhao could answer, Zhang Qian had already screamed in surprise. In her opinion, it is very rewarding to have a starling speak.
"How do you know if you don't try it, and then search on the Internet, there must be breeding methods on the Internet."
Zhang Qian's temperament is like this, and she can't stop her interest when she comes. As soon as she heard that there was such information on the Internet, she immediately turned on her computer to check it. But after taking a closer look, I was a little discouraged. If you want to make starlings speak, it takes a lot of energy and time. She had a full schedule except Sunday, and she didn't have time to teach a bird to speak.
Liu Junhao has time, but he doesn't have that much patience, and in the end this important task is handed over to Old Man Zhao. Professor Zhao's turtledove is very well trained, and now he can recognize five or six Arabic numerals. I believe that Starling asked him to teach, maybe not only can he speak, but he can also recognize numbers.
"After talking for a long time, you don't ask Wukong's opinion, people are rare like babies." Seeing that Professor Zhao stretched out his hand to take the two starlings away, Teacher Wang hurriedly interrupted and said.
At the mention of monkeys, everyone remembered that this guy didn't know where to go to the jungle after eating.
This guy is a troublemaker, as soon as he comes out of the master's sight, his true form is immediately revealed.
Since the monkey is not there. Liu Junhao made the decision for it.
Professor Zhao happily carried the starling home, but it was not half an hour, and he hurriedly ran over and asked, "Xiaohao, did the starling run back?" ”
"Ah...... Ah," Liu Junhao was a little confused, he had been sitting in the yard and hadn't seen them fly back.
"Let's take a look at the monkey's nest" The two hurriedly ran to the chicken coop to check, but there was nothing inside.
"Really lost?" The old man's anxious head was sweating. After going back, he carefully taught the starling to speak, and for half an hour, the two little guys didn't speak at all at all except for eating actively. Wait for him to come back from the bathroom. It's gone.
"Don't worry, you shouldn't be able to run away." Liu Junhao knows the two starlings better. As soon as they opened their eyes, they were scurrying around the yard, and they couldn't be more familiar with their surroundings, they must be hiding somewhere, and they might come out on their own after a while.
This guess was correct, and in less than five minutes the monkey was seen running into the yard, and on its front paws, two starlings were standing.
"Squeak......" Wukong immediately ran over excitedly when he saw his master.
"Squeak ......," the starling also flapped his wings and screamed.
What a shame...... The two little guys learned to love this way, it seems that Professor Zhao's analysis is completely correct.
But now Old Man Zhao has also given up the idea of bringing the starling back to his home, unless this thing is tied up, he will definitely have to run back when he turns his head. Rather than being frightened, it is better to keep it in place.
"Uncle Xiaohao, don't you have the silkworm cocoons you raised......" When it was almost dark, the little baby and the hairy child ran into the courtyard with the cardboard box in their arms.
"No, I just fed two handfuls of mulberry leaves in the morning." Liu Junhao looked at the excited expressions on their faces, and asked rhetorically, "Your silkworms have formed cocoons?" ”
"Well, I already have three cocoons, all of them are colored cocoons, and the little baby also has a cocoon." The hairy boy said and opened the cardboard box, and there was a "hissing" sound immediately, and the cocoon happened to be knotted in the corner, and the bright silk stuck the cardboard.
"It's cocooned so soon, I'll take a look at ......" Zhang Qian stretched out her head when she heard the news.
Wukong saw the stitches and put his head forward. The two starlings were driven away by the hairy child as soon as they landed on the side of the cardboard box, he was afraid of Liu Junhao's bird, and the last time he opened the carton, a bold turtledove pecked his mouth twice, almost not making him feel distressed.
"Squeak ......" just rushed twice, and the starling shouted again.
"Whoa" The bear child was stunned, and the cardboard box in his hand fell to the ground.
"Uncle Xiaohao, it was starling just now...... The monkey furry boy didn't bother to pack up the cardboard box, but just looked at the two birds in a daze.
When the little starling saw the white-flowered silkworm on the ground, he immediately became excited, fluttering his wings and pecking on the ground.
"Why, can't you think of it?" Liu Junhao was happy to see this kid's surprised expression, but he saw that those silkworms were about to die under the mouth of the starling. He hurriedly reached out and picked it up.
"Let it say it again," the little baby's face was also full of anticipation.
Liu Junhao stomped his foot, and the little guy immediately screamed and ran away.
"Can you learn how to bark?" The eyes of the two bear children were all little stars, and they looked at the starlings on the ground with envy.
"I will learn more, so that you can see and understand." Liu Junhao slapped his slap on the ground as he spoke. The two starlings flapped their wings and fled in panic to the monkey's nest. While running, he shouted again and again: "Scratch...... Giggle......"
After a long time of contact, Liu Junhao has already understood that the starling seems to prefer to imitate the sounds of other animals when they are angry.
"That...... How do you teach them to speak?" Now the two of them have completely forgotten their original intentions, and their minds are all on the two birds.
"Simple, let the monkey teach, Wukong is a master of language." Liu Junhao has no experience to talk about at all, so he can only run the train with his mouth full of flickering the two bear children.
The more the two guys looked at it, the more envious they became, and in the end they were reluctant to leave. Zhang Qian saw that it was already dark, and she was afraid that the adults of the two families would not be able to find their children, so she drove them home with a straight face.
No one was to disturb them, and calm returned to the courtyard. Liu Junhao ran to the chicken coop to collect eggs, while Zhang Qian rolled up her sleeves and started to cook dinner.
Scrambled eggs with green peppers, and then a toon is cool.
Eating delicious meals, Liu Junhao couldn't help but admire, it seems that women are talented in cooking, and his wife's craftsmanship is getting more and more superb.
After eating and drinking, he was just about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and brush the pot, but the door became noisy again, and Xiaopi kept screaming.
When I went out, I saw that none of the half-grown children in the village had entered the yard.
"Are you looking for Teacher Zhang?" Liu Junhao asked suspiciously, I didn't hear my wife say that there were still activities after eating.
"No, we're here to see the starlings talk." The sixth aunt's family Aqin replied excitedly.
"That's it, Uncle Xiaohao, hurry up and call the starling out, we all want to hear it." The scene suddenly became noisy.
These two bear children can't hide any secrets. Liu Junhao reluctantly invited them to observe in front of the monkey's nest
