Chapter 51: The Birds
But now a few people are also interested, and they all plan to take a good look here, a few women, including Su Zhirou, are not the kind of girls who are not restrained, and they command a few people brought from the Su family to start sorting out the things around, planning to stay here for one night and go back early tomorrow morning.
After all, according to the legend, strange things happen at night, and they have the patience to wait.
But if you really want to talk about it, there is still a long time before the evening, and they naturally will not sit and wait, and this kind of adventure activity itself has some playful nature, and it happens to be this kind of mountain forest area, so it is natural to have a good time and walk around.
Although Du Bai is slightly older than them, he is also an elder in terms of generation, so it stands to reason that there should be some generation gap. However, some of the ghost and god legends that he casually came out of were unheard of by a few people, and he suddenly gave birth to a good friendship, and there was no meaning of seeing estrangement.
After a while, only Su Zhirou still didn't want to see him, and the others called him enthusiastically: "Brother Du." β
Although these guys are a little naΓ―ve and easy to be deceived, they still have a good temperament, Du Bai nodded secretly after observing for a while. In this way, he can also rest assured that his sister-in-law will be friendly with them, otherwise he will always feel a little uneasy.
As for Su Zhirou's attitude, he ignored it. In his opinion, it's just a child's little temperament that makes trouble, probably because he hates that he snatched away his sister who originally belonged to her, so he's just annoyed.
If he really quarreled with her, then he would be too petty.
As a cheap brother-in-law, he still has this bit of energy.
On the other side, the boys and girls were already wandering around with great interest. Rich children like them, who grew up in the city, don't have many opportunities to face pure nature like this, and they are naturally excited, even a few girls have temporarily put down the reserve in their hearts and looked left and right curiously.
"If only I could climb trees."
At this time, Du Bai heard Xu Zhiyan standing in front of the tree with his back hand, and sighed regretfully.
"I really want to climb up and see what a magnificent scene this tree is, whether it really reaches the sky!"
Du Bai looked up and saw that the branches of the trees were lush and he didn't reach the top for a while, but he estimated that it was already higher than the ordinary ten-story residential buildings, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. If this guy is a monkey, he might be able to climb up, but ordinary people are probably enough to choke.
Let alone......
Du Bai felt a little strange in his heart.
If there is really an old monster living in this tree, then if someone really climbs up, will it be considered a humiliation for her and lift the lid from the coffin board on the spot?
But just at this time, a teenager on the side volunteered to step forward and rub his hands, looking at the tree trunk in front of him with an excited face: "Leave it to me!" I love climbing trees, even though I've never tried such a tall tree......"
However, if you master the skill of climbing trees, the height of the tree is not the biggest obstacle.
Without waiting for Du Bai to speak, this guy hurriedly climbed up, not afraid of soiling his clothes, his hands and feet were even more flexible, and he traveled a long distance in the blink of an eye, and at first glance he really looked like a monkey.
Du Bai felt a little funny.
The temperament of this group of rich children is really peculiar, and it is no wonder that they can get together.
"Hehe, don't look at its height, it's quite easy to climb."
The guy climbed a branch and said to the few people below a little proudly, and now his movements also attracted the side eyes of the girls on the other side, which made him feel a little more fluctuating, jumping up as if showing off his skills, standing firmly on a thick branch, swaying slightly but not shaking at all.
"It's a little meaning, it's a little meaning!"
He looked up and laughed.
Usually he doesn't have so many opportunities to be in the limelight.
Du Bai knew that this person's name was Wang Chengyuan before, although he was not as good as Xu Zhiyan in reading and writing, but his strength was good, and his family also planned to seek a martial arts position for him.
So this difficulty is really not a big problem for this guy.
But at this moment, the accident happened.
I only heard a sharp birdsong, and then I saw a lump of yellow and black falling from the sky and smashing on Wang Chengyuan's face!
"Ahh
Wang Chengyuan suddenly shouted, and before he had time to wipe off the filth on his face in a panic, his feet slipped inadvertently, and he fell straight down from the tree!
"Be careful!"
Everyone who was still watching the excitement was shocked, but before they could rescue, this guy fell to the ground with a "snap".
Fortunately, the soil on the ground was unexpectedly soft due to the lush roots, and the height of the fall was not very high, so there were no serious injuries this time, at most a few minor abrasions.
"Where did you get the stupid bird!" That Wang Chengyuan staggered up under the support of Xu Zhiyan on the side, moved his muscles and bones for a while, his face was a little bad, and when he raised his head, he saw the pure white bird that was constantly hovering overhead, and he seemed to be laughing at himself, and he suddenly became angry, and couldn't help but scold.
"Chirp!" The bird seemed to understand human speech, and kept calling.
"It seems to be keeping us away from this tree......" Xu Zhiyan guessed as he watched it keep flapping its wings and circling back and forth around the tree.
"Did it make a nest in this tree?"
It's just that Wang Chengyuan doesn't care about these. He now had a pile of stains on his face, and although he wiped it, he was still in a mess, and glared at the bird angrily: "I must catch this stupid bird today and avenge this!" β
Especially now that this embarrassed appearance has been seen by a few girls next to her, seeing them cover their mouths and snicker, they are even more ashamed.
He looked left and right, as if intending to pick up some stones from the ground to hunt the birds.
If he really let him pick up stones, it is estimated that the bird will not be able to run away with his martial arts skills.
It's just that at this moment, a leisurely old woman's voice suddenly came from behind her, which was particularly abrupt.
"Childe also asked his subordinates to be merciful, this bird only grew up on this tree since childhood, and has a relationship with the tree, so he wants to prevent others from climbing the tree. If the son is still angry, he can be angry with the old body, and don't blame him anymore. β
Du Bai was startled, and suddenly looked back, but he was shocked to find that at some point, an old woman with a bamboo basket was slowly pacing in the forest not far behind him, carrying a branch as a crutch on her back, wearing a gray robe that looked very shabby, and her white hair was pale. It's just that you can vaguely see her appearance when she was young from between her eyebrows and eyes, and she should also be a graceful beauty.
