Chapter 34: Digging the Bird's Nest
There is a big locust tree in the hill near the pond of Luo Tianwang's house. A flock of crows lives in the trees all year round. It is said that every time a crow crows in the village, someone always dies. Some people say that the crow's cry is "woo wow, woo wow", like a person crying. Therefore, the crow is always a symbol of evil. And the base camp of this group of crows, the big locust tree, is also mysterious. Traces of burned money paper can be seen under the big locust tree all year round. When Luo Tianwang passed under the locust tree, he once saw a bowl under the tree. I also saw coins hidden in the grass there.
It's just that when Luo Tianwang told Xiao Chunxiu, who passed by with him, he was solemnly warned by Xiao Chunxiu not to approach this locust tree. Then after walking away, the god mysteriously told Luo Tianwang that there was an evil spirit on this tree.
A few days ago, when Luo Tianwang was herding cattle, he passed by here and saw a group of chicks screaming in a big bird's nest on the tree, and Luo Tianwang could see their wide mouths from under the locust tree.
Luo Tianwang didn't think about ending this nest at that time, and then getting this group of crow cubs away. But for the sake of the pond, Luo Tianwang had to raise some reliable "sentinels". And if you get a flock of crows, you can definitely scare the guy who dares to come into the pond and steal loaches to death.
Luo Tianwang didn't plan to tell his grandparents about this, judging from their past performance, if they knew that they were going to do such an earth-shattering thing, they were afraid that they would be scared to death.
When Luo Tianwang came home from school, he deliberately made a detour and ran into the woods where the locust tree was located. He threw his bag on the ground and ran under the locust tree.
The crows in the tree were standing on the branches to rest, and they all felt very strange when they saw Luo Tianwang running over. The place was rarely visited by people, and then I was surprised to see that the little kid was actually climbing up the tree. A few timid crows croaked away from the locust tree. And the crows who became fathers and mothers panicked, and although they were scared, they still guarded the cubs in the nest.
The crow cub in the nest stuck its head out curiously and looked at the little kid climbing up the tree.
Seeing that Luo Tianwang's target was the bird's nest, the two crows next to the bird's nest immediately rushed towards Luo Tianwang frantically, and Luo Tianwang casually slapped a green rune in his hand. Right in the middle of one of the crows' head. The crow was immediately stupid, and it flew back to the nest, tilting its head to look at Luo Tianwang. When the other one was about to continue attacking Luo Tianwang, the crow from before croaked twice. The crow that attacked Luo Tianwang flew halfway and turned back.
The two crows stood stupidly by the nest, did not fly away, and did not stop Luo Tianwang from approaching.
Luo Tianwang didn't know what the green rune was doing, and he had no other way anyway. It's this green rune that works the most easily.
Luo Tianwang approached the bird's nest, and the two crows flew away. Luo Tianwang directly lifted the bird's nest, and the crow cubs in the bird's nest immediately croaked. But the unreliable father and mother ignored their shouts.
Luo Tianwang is another green character cast on the bodies of these crows. The crows immediately fell silent. One by one, they lay comfortably in the bird's nest and fell asleep.
Luo Tianwang finally dared to come up, but he didn't plan to go down like this. Catching one litter is a litter, and catching ten litters is also catching. There are still several nests in the tree, and there is a nest of crow cubs looking at Luo Tianwang with curious eyes. Just as he was about to climb up, he heard Luo Baolin shouting by the pond.
Luo Tianwang hurriedly picked up the nest of crows that he had already got in his hands and went down the tree, and then turned around again and hid the nest of crows in a cornfield not far from the pond. Then I hurried home.
"You kid, don't go home early, the teacher left you to eat?" Luo Baolin asked with a smile when he saw Luo Tianwang coming back.
"Grandpa, didn't you talk about going to the street? Did you buy the puppies?" Luo Tianwang asked as soon as he saw Luo Baolin.
Luo Baolin shook his head: "I didn't see anyone selling puppies on the street today." Check it out next time. ”
Shuikou Temple is not a big town, and it is not every day that people run over to sell pups. Moreover, earth dogs and puppies are given away in rural areas. Usually no one takes it to the town to sell. It's normal for Luo Baolin not to buy a puppy.
This result made Luo Tianwang very frustrated, and even the excitement of just digging out a nest of crows disappeared.
"I came back today after cutting two pounds of meat. Your grandmother has already prepared a meal, so let's go inside and eat. Luo Baolin said with a smile.
The puppies didn't come back, but they were able to improve their diet, which was a good result. Luo Tianwang ran into the house and saw a large bowl of meat on the table, so he grabbed a piece with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Stinky boy, don't you know how to hold chopsticks?" Xiao Chunxiu couldn't help but giggle when she looked at her grandson's greedy appearance.
Luo Tianwang hurriedly put the schoolbag into the room, then took a bowl and filled it with a bowl of rice, and ate it in a big gulp. Luo Tianwang, who usually eats a bowl of rice, stopped after eating two large bowls today.
After eating, when the sun became a little softer, Luo Tianwang went to open the wooden bolt of the cowshed, let the cattle out, and patted the cattle on the head: "Go and eat grass." ”
The oxen ran happily to the pond, where they first quenched their thirst and then graze. The grass in the pond grows so vigorously that it seems that the cows can't nibble on it.
Luo Tianwang ran quickly towards the nearby cornfield. The crow's nest was still quietly laid out in the cornfield, and there were five little crows croaking in it that had not grown all their hair. Seeing Luo Tianwang coming, he immediately opened his mouth wide and croaked, as if shouting: "Feed me, feed me." "I didn't have any fear of Luo Tianwang at all.
A crow flew over with a worm, and he was not afraid of Luo Tianwang, so he flew straight to the crow's nest to feed a few little crows. After a while, another crow flew over and fed the worm in its mouth into the crow's mouth.
Luo Tianwang didn't know if the little crow's father and mother could tell which one they had just fed, and when they came back, they would feed it to the guys who had fed it again, causing a few of them to die, and the most unlucky guy starved to death.
Luo Tianwang was going to move the nest of crows to a bayberry tree by the pond. The bayberry tree is very tall, and the leaves are dense, evergreen all year round, this nest of crows hides in the tree, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by the fart children in the yard.
The crow's nest was put into a bamboo basket by Luo Tianwang, and it was covered with a few pine branches. When he arrived at the pond, Luo Tianwang looked at no one on the left and right, and hurriedly tied a rope to the bamboo basket at one end and the other to his legs, and then quickly climbed to the bayberry tree. When you get to the tree, pull the bamboo basket up with a rope. Then I found a place with lush foliage and placed the crow's nest.
