Chapter 24 Shrimp or Blind?
Shen Fei finally understood why Du Meng felt so funny when he put his hand under the banana leaf that day, it is estimated that the feel of teasing the little rice balls must be good, fluffy, soft, and warm, and Shen Fei couldn't help but want to pinch them.
Well, I really couldn't hold back.
Shen Fei stretched out his claws and pinched the little guy who was close to the outermost.
However, the smile in Shen Fei's heart instantly froze, and this claw almost didn't feel anything!
He suddenly felt that he had lost another great joy in life.
He subconsciously used his strength to see if he could experience the fluffy, soft, and warm feeling, but he heard a scream of "squeak"!
This scream seemed to be contagious, and the eight white bats screamed together, and then one after another began to fly in shock, like a nest, clinging to Shen Fei's body and rushing out.
Although Shen Fei called them little guys, it was only from the perspective of human beings, and it was also influenced by Dumeng's call for them little rice balls.
In fact, they are not too small compared to Shen Fei's current size, their body length is almost four centimeters, and they are almost as long as Shen Fei's arm.
When they spread their wings, the entire span was about the same length as Shen Fei's body, and suddenly they screamed, and then rushed outward, which also scared Shen Fei a lot.
When Shen Fei withdrew the front half of his body from under the banana leaves, the eight white bats also figured out the current situation, and "squeaked" around Shen Fei for a long time, and kept flapping Shen Fei with their wingtips.
Shen Fei knew that he was at a loss, he must have been a little stronger just now, and he woke people up from their sleep, they must be protesting to themselves, but unfortunately the language is not understood, so he will use retreat to apologize.
Shen Fei returned to his territory and climbed onto the branches, motionless.
The white bats followed and flew and made noise for a while, and seeing that Shen Fei didn't respond, they probably didn't think it was interesting, so they hid back under the banana leaves and went to sleep.
Shen Fei looked at the big crisper, there were some strawberry strips and mango strips that looked quite fresh, and he didn't know when Du Meng prepared it for it, it must have been breakfast today.
Although eating only fruits is not very nutritious, it is better than nothing. What's more, Amy is still asleep and has no guests to eat jerky.
After Shen Fei ate all the strawberries and mangoes, he was a little bored, so he crawled to the side of the fish tank of the map fish.
He looked at the shelf under the tabletop, estimated the distance, wrapped his tail around the moire decoration next to the tabletop, drooped, climbed the shelf, released his tail, and landed on the shelf.
He pushed the box containing the breadworm from the center of the shelf outward, closer to the corner of the shelf.
Then he climbed back to the chest of drawers, and once again wrapped his tail around the moire decoration next to the tabletop, his body drooped, and his right front paw reached into the box and grabbed a breadworm, and with a hard shake of his body to the upper left, his left front paw grabbed the moire decoration on the bottom of the tabletop. Then, with the combination of the tail and the two hind paws, it was easy to return to the chest of drawers.
Of course, Shen Fei didn't catch the insects and slowly enjoy the supplemental nutrition, he was just bored and wanted to feed the map fish.
He held a bread worm with his right front paw, stood up, lifted the bread worm against the glass on the side of the fish tank in an irregular motion, and tapped the side of the fish tank with his left front paw. The six map fish immediately came over, turned their big eyes and watched Shen Fei swing his tail a few times, and then "pop" the glass a few times before swimming after the bread worm.
Because Shen Fei had fed them several times with the same means, they were already familiar with this action, so now it was not simply to convey to Shen Fei the message that they wanted to eat bread worms, but also to show favor to the breeder.
Shen Fei slowly lifted the bread worm high, grasped the balance, and threw it into the fish tank.
One of the particularly bright red markings flicked its tail violently, flew up, rushed out of the water, and bit the bread worm in one bite!
Shen Fei was very satisfied with the results of his training, thanks to the fact that these map fish were so smart, they were able to treat themselves as breeders so quickly, and they jumped up to grab food so quickly, and they bit the food so accurately.
In the past, when Shen Fei raised map fish, he had to move the hand holding the bread worm to the top of the fish tank, and repeated it hundreds of times before a few map fish jumped up to grab the food accurately.
He took another bread worm from the box and teased it against the fish bowl for a while as he had done before throwing it into the fish tank.
This time, the accuracy of jumping up and grabbing food was a little worse, deflecting by five or six centimeters, and the breadworm fell into the fish tank and was swallowed by other map fish underwater.
However, this can't be stupid, and it is a bit too demanding to expect them to calculate the parabola, the landing point, or something.
And with Shen Fei's current skills, even if he has human intelligence, it is unlikely that he will be able to control the landing point, and it is even more impossible for the map fish to calculate the accurate landing point.
After feeding more than a dozen in a row, Dumont walked in.
Before Du Meng approached the cubicle, Shen Fei had already spotted her, but Shen Fei continued to repeat the action of feeding the fish as if he hadn't seen it.
His idea is very simple, even the fish are so smart, and he must behave smarter and more capable in order to make Dumont think more highly of himself and strive for a better quality of life for himself.
Du Meng stopped as soon as she entered the door, and watched with surprise on her face as Shen Fei fed the breadworm and took another one, she actually watched Shen Fei take it back and forth three times with great patience!
Before, Du Meng felt that Shen Fei had been specially trained to feed the fish, and at this moment, he was even more firm in his previous thoughts. But the situation here can't be exactly the same as Shen Fei's original environment, which proves that Shen Fei is an extremely intelligent chameleon! Moreover, he can take the initiative to help him feed the fish, which is really a treasure!
On a whim, Du Meng went to the kitchen and got a small crisper box, scooped some water from the shrimp tank near the map fish, and used a small fishing net to catch a dozen small shrimp and put them in. Then, she shoved the box containing the breadworms into the shelf, taking the spot with the small crisper box.
Shen Fei, who hung down again, looked at the location of the two boxes, and instantly understood Du Meng's intention, this was to feed the map fish shrimp by himself!
But what should I do now? Is it shrimp or blind?
If you catch shrimp directly, will it behave too smart and unusual? Will it have the effect of the opposite of the extreme?
But if you catch blindness, it is equivalent to losing a chance to make Du Meng's eyes shine. He had noticed just now that after Du Meng came out of the side door, he was originally going to walk to the computer desk, and it was probably because he found out that he had taken the initiative to feed the fish here, so he changed his direction and walked over.
Therefore, Shen Fei feels that the first step is to catch shrimp or catch blind, if Du Meng loses interest in an instant, he may have to go to the computer desk to busy his work, and it is likely that he will not be able to come for a long time like before, and if he wants to have a bright performance, he may not have a chance when.
After thinking about it again and again, Shen Fei made up his mind, anyway, Du Meng thought that he had been deliberately trained last time, in this case, how smart was he been? Not particularly smart everywhere, the last time he had already used the action of not feeding mesomorphic insects, he proved that he was not able to do anything, and he could not understand Du Meng's meaning under any circumstances.
Thinking of this, Shen Fei's left front paw pressed on the edge of the crisper and used his right front paw to reach in to catch small shrimp.
The shrimp's movements are very sensitive, not only swim fast, but also bounce, the chameleon's claws are not so flexible, Shen Fei paved back and forth more than a dozen times, and not a single shrimp was caught.
Shen Fei had to act smarter, let go of his left front paw, his body was suspended in the air, and his two front paws reached into the crisper to chase and intercept!
This trick really worked, and I caught one in three or two clicks.
However, it was really difficult for the chameleon's claws to hold on to something that was slippery and bouncing around. As soon as Shen Fei caught the shrimp out of the water, it was less than five centimeters high, and the small shrimp jumped out.
Looking at the small shrimp jumping around on the shelf, Shen Fei felt that he could only magnify his moves.
He immediately let go of his tail, landed on the shelf, rushed over and first raised his left front paw and pressed the body of the little shrimp, and one of the claw tips of the right front paw inserted it into the carapace gap between the head and back of the small shrimp.
When Shen Fei thought about it again and again just now, Du Meng thought that he was confused, after all, he couldn't think too much about the IQ of a chameleon.
Shen Fei's next action of fishing for shrimp, she thought that it should be a knee-jerk reaction, and she couldn't catch it because she was not very comfortable with such things as shrimp.
But Du Meng didn't expect that after Shen Fei failed to catch shrimp with one claw, he would use his two front claws to chase and intercept it! After the little shrimp jumped out and was caught by him, he actually inserted the tips of his claws into the back of the head of the little shrimp like a fisherman using a straw rope to penetrate the gills!
Chameleons usually feed directly with their tongues and mouths, and rarely use their claws to control their prey, let alone use such a simple and effective method.
So Dumont wondered if this was smart, or had he been specially trained?
Shen Fei had already made up his mind to behave smarter, since Du Meng didn't have an unbelievable and incomprehensible expression, it meant that he didn't overdo it, so he simply grabbed the lid of the small crisper next to him with his left front paw, and tried it, but for his small body, he couldn't pick it up at all, so he dragged it to the side of the small crisper box.
Then he dragged it hard onto the small crisper and covered about three-quarters of it.
Now Du Meng is really shocked!
The message conveyed by this action is very clear, it is to prevent the shrimp from jumping out to the greatest extent! It will not suffocate the shrimp that likes the nitrox environment!
Whether or not someone has been specially trained, for a reptilian to be able to actively use this skill, it can only be described in three words.
Looking at Du Meng's shocked expression, Shen Fei's heart blossomed, and his goal was achieved!
He immediately climbed up to the aid and, like a breadworm, teased the map fish for a while, and threw the shrimp into it.
