Chapter 155: Bird Hunting in the Forest
The birds were chirping and talking to each other.
Li Mu ate while listening.
Brother Nan also picked up the lunch box, took a few mouthfuls of rice, chewed, and listened with his ears perked up, pretending that he had eaten the fruit and could understand.
The kitten was even more curious. It stared at the bird so closely that it forgot to eat. Li Mu picked up a piece of beef and put it near the kitten's mouth. Only then did the kitten open its mouth and take a few bites.
"That bird is so scary, it almost caught me"
"My friend was caught and eaten by it."
"So many birds were killed. I saw them secretly. There were a whole tree full of them."
"I don't know where he came from, so brutal!"
"There wasn't a bird like this in the woods before!"
"It eats them. There is no big bird that doesn't eat small birds. But that bird killed so many of them, but it didn't eat any!"
"If that bird doesn't leave, I'm going to move to another forest."
"Twolegs, do you know?"
"The little squirrel said that bipeds are very powerful, so you should know it."
The birds lowered their voices and looked up at the sky from time to time, as if they were afraid that the ferocious bird they were talking about would suddenly appear and catch them.
Because of fear, what he said was confusing and illogical.
Li Mu listened and thought, and finally understood it.
"You said that bird came here recently? It wasn't in the woods before?" Li Mu put down the lunch box and asked the bird.
"There are five suns now!"
"It's been five days." Li Mu nodded, "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you to take a look."
"Really? Then let's go now!"
"Drive it away!" The birds seemed to have suddenly found a supporter and their tone became excited.
"Don't worry." Li Mu calmed the bird and turned to look at Brother Nan, "Brother Nan, have you finished eating?"
Brother Nan lowered his head and shoveled the remaining rice and vegetables in the lunch box into his mouth. His cheeks suddenly puffed up and he made an OK gesture to Li Mu.
"There's no rush." Li Mu unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Brother Nan.
"Do you still want to eat Yogurt Master?"
"Well"
The cat looked up at him, but did not answer. With a flickering look in his eyes, he asked him, "What kind of bird is that vicious bird?"
"I'm not sure yet. I have to go and see for myself."
"You'll know after you see it~"
"Yes."
"Has Lord Yogurt ever eaten this kind of bird?"
"how could I know?"
"How come you don't know?"
"Because I'm not smart."
"you do not."
Mao'er had just said half of his words when he was stunned and looked up at Li Mu blankly.
"Whether you have eaten this kind of bird, only Lord Yogurt should know. How can I know?"
"Lord Yogurt doesn't know either."
"How come you don't know?"
“Because I don’t.”
The kitten was halfway through his words when he froze again and continued to stare at Li Mu blankly with his head raised. His big bright eyes looked clear and stupid.
I was stunned for a moment.
The kitten quickly shook its head, making it into a round shape so that its facial features could not be seen clearly. Then it sat upright on the picnic blanket, raised its paw and licked it twice, as if it had shaken off everything that had just happened, as if it had never happened.
Then he raised his head and looked at Li Mu, and said softly and in a baby voice, "Master Yogurt, remember that you have never eaten it."
“I probably haven’t eaten it before.”
"why?"
"Because the bird said that it had only been in this forest for five days."
"Yes."
Li Mu smiled and touched the kitten's forehead twice.
When he looked up, he found that Brother Nan had packed up the empty lunch box, put it into a plastic bag, put it back in his bag, and was staring at him and the yogurt.
"Oh!"
"?"
"I don't understand yogurt talking!"
"Just eat the fruit."
"I don't know how long it will be effective, so I can't just eat it casually, it's such a waste!"
"."
Then Li Mu would be helpless.
Seeing Brother Nan's depressed and uncomfortable look, Li Mu felt a little bit reluctant and thought for a while, "How about you hit him again?" "No!"
"why?"
"I'll hit you if you ask me to. Don't you have any dignity, Brother Nan?"
"That's it."
"Oh!"
"."
Depression doesn't go away, it just moves away.
So Li Mu looked depressed.
Brother Nan looked at Li Mu, grinned, put away the picnic blanket, slung over his canvas bag, and waved at the bird, "Lead the way!"
The four little birds flew for a while and then landed on a branch. When Li Mu approached, they continued to fly forward.
The kitten ran in front, sniffing here and there, occasionally looking up at the treetops, as if looking for the bird.
"That's why these little birds came to us for help. Now take us to the tree full of birds."
Li Mu repeated what the bird said to Brother Nan.
"What kind of bird do you think this is?"
"I haven't seen it, so it's hard to say."
"There are birds hanging on a branch. Why kill so many if you can't finish them? Isn't this just killing birds for fun?" Brother Nan frowned. "What kind of bird can be so cruel?"
"There are many more birds in the world than humans, so it's not surprising that there are birds with all kinds of personalities."
"It just flew here five days ago. It's not a bird native to this forest ecosystem, right?"
"Well, it should be a kind of migratory bird."
As he was speaking, the bird suddenly lowered its flying altitude and landed on a low bush.
"Are we almost there?" Li Mu turned around and asked the little birds.
"We can see the tree a little further on," the birds said in a low voice.
"Okay, you don't have to follow me. I'll go take a look."
Li Mu saw that these little birds did not dare to move forward.
"We'll wait for you here."
"Don't forget to drive it away!"
The two people and the cat continued to move forward.
"Ni Mu! There are so many birds!" The kitten who served as the pathfinder stopped in front of a tree, turned his head to look at Li Mu, and raised a little paw to point at the treetops.
Brother Nan ran over and looked up in the direction of the kitten's paw.
"Sigh~"
Brother Nan's eyes widened, "This is too much!"
Li Mu also approached. The branches of this tree were covered with thorns, and many bird carcasses were hanging on the thorns.
At a rough glance, there are at least seventeen or eighteen of them.
"Is this the Hannibal of birds?" Brother Nan looked up and looked around. "I didn't see the bird. Could it be out hunting birds again?"
"should."
"Do you know what kind of bird this is?"
"I have some guesses, but I can't confirm it without seeing it."
"Oh."
Brother Nan rolled his eyes and said, "Let's hide and wait for the bird to come back. I want to see who it is and why it is so ferocious!"
"Ni Mu, do you want to catch this bird?" The kitten looked up and stared at Brother Nan and Li Mu talking, and asked him with his head tilted.
"It's to ask why it killed so many."
"Let me catch it!" The kitten became excited and jumped onto the tree trunk with a light leap. In a few steps, it climbed very high.
"These branches are full of thorns, Master Yogurt, don't hurt yourself!"
“No!” The kitten was already standing on the branch, its little paws avoiding the thorns and standing steadily.
"Well, Master Yogurt is really amazing."
"That's right!" The kitten looked down at Li Mu, "You and Brother Lan hide, I'll hide in the tree and wait for the bird to come back."
"Then please, Master Yogurt, don't kill it."
"Master Yogurt knows."
After the kitten finished speaking, it twisted its body, nimbly avoiding all the thorns and disappeared into the tree canopy in a few seconds.
"Let's go, let's hide too." Brother Nan pulled Li Mu towards the bushes nearby, "With yogurt here, the bird can't run away."
The two men squatted in the bushes and stared at the tree through the gaps.
More than half an hour later, a small black shadow flew over from the distant sky, holding a struggling little sparrow in its claws.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes.
Indeed it is.
