Chapter 448: The Most Bizarre Bird
Mr. Chen suddenly pointed to an object in the corner of the wall and said, "Look, there's a thing there, which I picked up in the valley, and that thing is very strange, like an egg, but apart from a dinosaur egg, what egg can be so big?" β
We took a closer look, and it was a round thing, bigger than the size of a watermelon, but apart from its size, we didn't see anything special about it, it was just a giant egg, we didn't specialize in zoology, and we had seen so many monsters of all kinds, and we didn't think it was too strange about this kind of giant egg.
But what happened next shocked us all.
At this time, the "monkey eagle" in the bag suddenly screamed twice, and Mr. Chen was stunned suddenly, and then looked at the bag.
Because the appearance of the "monkey eagle" is so peculiar, we are afraid of scaring others, so we put it in the bag.
But for some reason, the "monkey eagle" suddenly screamed, it usually does not bark when it is placed in the bag, now why did it suddenly scream?
If it only screamed once, we might still be able to pass it perfunctorily, but it screamed again and again, and after hearing this kind of scream, Old Man Ouyang's face suddenly showed an unusually shocked expression - what is going on? The cry of the "Monkey Eagle" can only be understood by the madman Six, what does the "Monkey Eagle" express? It could make his expression change so much, he opened his mouth a few times, wanting to say something, but looking at the old Mr. Chen sitting in front of him, he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Can I see what's in your bag?" Hearing Mr. Chen's direct question, everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a while.
"Old man Ouyang, since Mr. Chen wants to see it, you can let him see it" Crazy Six was very calm, and he then explained to Mr. Chen, "This is a bird, but it looks weird, for fear of scaring you old couple, so I put it in the bag." β
Mr. Chen smiled slightly and said: "Oh, no, before I studied botany, I also studied medicine for more than a year, even human corpses have been dissected, and I have seen all kinds of freak specimens, I have never felt afraid, how can I be afraid of a bird?" I was a well-known 'Chen Daring' back then, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to take the initiative to come here. β
Since Mr. Chen said so, Old Man Ouyang had no choice but to show him.
Old man Ouyang slowly opened the bag, and the "Monkey Eagle" gradually revealed, and we all felt that although Mr. Chen said so, after seeing the "Monkey Eagle", he would definitely be frightened, because no matter who it was, it was difficult not to be scared when he saw such a strange-looking bird for the first time.
But Mr. and Mrs. Chen's reaction after seeing the "Monkey Eagle" was completely unexpected - when they saw the "Monkey Eagle", their expressions were not fear, but shock, a kind of shock that they couldn't believe their eyes! The old couple rubbed their eyes, immediately came over, approached the "monkey eagle" and looked at it carefully, and said while looking at it: "My God, is this true?" It's too similar, it's so similar, it's just a little bit like it, everything else is too similar. β
Such a scene is like meeting an old friend who has been absent for a long time.
This is so abnormal, what the hell is going on? A few of us were stunned.
Mr. Chen suddenly raised his head and asked Old Man Ouyang, "Brother, is this your bird?" βγ Old man Ouyang nodded blankly, not knowing why Old Man Chen would ask like this.
"Do you know the origin of this bird? Where did you get this bird, can you tell me? Is it in the valley where you first came? Mr. Chen's eyes lit up, and his emotions seemed extremely excited.
This makes us feel even more strange, when Old Man Ouyang saw Mr. Chen and asked him so eagerly, he couldn't help but answer, so he had to say perfunctorily: "It's not in that valley, it's picked up in the mountains before, and I've been raising it for seven or eight years." β
Madman Six suddenly asked Mr. Chen: "What, have you seen this kind of bird before?" And do you know where they come from? β
Mr. Chen's face was flushed with excitement, and his tone trembled a little excitedly: "This kind of bird is called 'monkey head bird', it is a kind of 'strange bird', I picked one up in that valley three or four years ago, at that time, this bird was still very small, only the size of a sparrow, when I saw it for the first time, it was indeed very mad, because its face was too much like a little monkey - the monkey's face, the bird's body, it looked really weird."
But I'm a curious person, and I'm specialized in research, so whether it's an animal or a plant, as long as I see something strange, I'm very interested, so I brought the 'monkey-headed bird' back. However, I didn't know what it ate at the time, so I raised it as an ordinary bird, fed some small insects and the like, although it didn't seem to like to eat much, but it still ate it, and in this way, after about a year, it slowly grew up.
This bird is so clever that it understands whatever you say to it, and it saved my life, otherwise my old bones would have been confessed.
Speaking of which, it was two years ago.
I was old, and I had a little heart problem, so I always carried some oral medicine with me in case of sudden heart problems, as a first aid, that year, I took it to the mountains, and was bending down to observe a kind of grass, and suddenly, a poisonous snake came out of the grass, because of the sudden fright, I suddenly felt short of breath and chest tightness, and I couldn't breathe, and I thought to myself, it's bad, I had a heart attack, and I quickly touched my pocket, and the bad thing is that I forgot to bring the medicine, and I thought at that time, I would definitely die there. Then his eyes went black, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, I felt a cool, somewhat fishy liquid, dripping into my mouth, I was very confused, I only felt dry mouth, so I swallowed the liquid, I didn't expect it, soon, I slowly woke up, shortness of breath and tightness in the chest, and completely disappeared.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that the liquid dripping into my mouth was actually the saliva of the "monkey bird", and I felt nauseous at that time, and I vomited it out in a flash.
But after vomiting like this, I felt more happy in my heart. At that time, I vaguely realized that it was probably the saliva of the "monkey-headed bird" that saved me, and I don't know what the ingredients in its saliva might be good for human organs, and under its protection, the poisonous snake could not hurt me.
It's kind of a lifesaver for me. When I got home, I told my wife, and my wife said that this 'monkey-headed bird' is better than our own sons, and my own son sees me twice a year at most, which is like a 'monkey-headed bird', which can stay by my side every day, and can save my life at critical moments.
Since then, I have never had a problem with chest tightness and shortness of breath.
At that time, I was quite conflicted - should I hand over the 'monkey head bird' to the relevant scientific research institutions for research, or should I stay with me?
Later, my wife said, you must not send the 'monkey bird' to the scientific research unit, it is as smart as a person, if you send it to the scientific research unit, it is equivalent to sending it to prison, how painful it will be, in addition, if that is the case, it will become a completely experimental material, and may even be dissected, people save your life, but you repay others like this, isn't this a damage to yin morality?
Listening to my wife say this, I think it makes sense, so this matter is not publicized, but something more strange happened.
At the end of that year, I also went to the provincial hospital for a physical examination according to the usual practice, according to the previous medical records, my heart problem was more serious, and I should have had bypass surgery a long time ago, but because I really didn't want to suffer that knife, I kept dragging it out, but when the doctor checked my heart again, I couldn't help but be surprised, they found that my heart disease actually healed itself!
You may not know much, but this is the only case like this in the world - because adult heart muscle cells have no ability to regenerate, let alone repair themselves. They couldn't figure out how I could heal myself from such a serious heart attack.
At that time, all the experts in the provincial hospital came to see me, and I felt that I was like a giant panda, and they kept comparing my past and current cardiograms, and they thought that this miracle was incredible, and even if they saw it, they couldn't believe it, and at that time, some experts from Beijing also came.
I was both happy and a little scared at the same time β because even though I was a human being, I felt like I was about to become a medical experiment, doing all kinds of tests and doing all kinds of tests all day long, and I felt like I was going to be a test subject, which was really scary. At that moment, I felt that my wife was right when she said that the 'monkey's head should never be given to a research institute - although I was selfish in doing so.
Later, after repeated begging, I was allowed to be discharged from the hospital, but the relevant departments still set up a special team of experts to conduct irregular follow-up studies on me - studying my diet, my surrounding living environment, and my daily activities, they wanted to find out how my heart disease healed on its own, of course, the real reason, I never told them.
However, I am also very curious, I don't understand what the origin of this 'monkey-headed bird' is, not only is its intelligence so high, but its saliva also has such a magical function.
As I said earlier, my curiosity is very heavy, and I can't eat or sleep if I can't figure out one thing, and when I think about it, it suddenly occurs to me that there is a person who is the best person to answer my questions.
That guy was a high school classmate of mine and a playmate from childhood, who later went to the United States to study in taxonomy and had a doctorate in medicine, and was a first-class expert in the field of zoology.
I asked my son to send everything about the 'monkey's bird' and the photos of the 'monkey' to him by e-mail, and I wanted him to keep it a secret about it.
What I didn't expect was that a week after he received the email, he flew over from the United States in person, accompanied by my son, and came here to see me β of course, not at all, but at the bird, and I joked with him at the time, 'I don't have as much friendship with you as a bird, if it weren't for this bird, you would be here to see me?' He also jokingly 'replied' to me that of course he had come to see the bird, for a thousand of me were worth no more than the bird.
And when he saw the 'monkey's bird', his eyes lit up with excitement, his whole body trembled, and he muttered a sentence in English over and over again: "It's incredible", and I thought at that time that this bird must have an extraordinary origin.
When he calmed down a bit, before I could ask him, he told me very seriously that if I was willing to sell the bird, he could help me contact research institutes for hundreds of millions of dollars, and these research institutes would rush to buy it.
My wife and I were stupid, and at first we thought our ears were misheardβhow can a bird be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But the 'monkey-headed bird', as if he understood my classmate's intentions, couldn't help but scream twice, and then looked at me pitifully, I immediately knew that it was worried that we would sell it, so it said to my classmate very bluntly, no matter how much money I give, I will not sell it, it is no longer a bird for us, but a relative, after listening to what I said, the 'monkey-headed bird's eyes, actually rolled down tears. β
