Chapter 224 223. Bird, Why Listen to the Cat

Luo Yihang didn’t see the barrage in the live broadcast room, but Luo Shaoan saw it.

I couldn't help but complain, "What's there to hug? It's so heavy."

Although he was muttering very quietly, Ding Xiaoman still heard it and bared his two fangs.

[Hahahaha, the cat heard it, the cat is angry]

[You’re dead, you unlucky guy]

[Dig a hole and bury it]

And, [Who is this handsome guy? ]

Luo Shaoan quickly replied, "This is my boss."

Then he trotted after them, looked up and saw Ding Xiaoman staring at him, turned halfway and walked around to the front from the other side, "Boss, what are you doing? Can I follow you?"

Then he greeted the other three people, "Hello, Associate Professor Wei, Hello, Brother Qi, Hello, Sister Shi."

He is really polite.

But I don’t know what they were going to do, so I didn’t let them appear in the camera.

Luo Yihang glanced at Associate Professor Wei, who nodded and replied, "Come on."

Luo Shaoan then turned the camera to Associate Professor Wei and asked again, "What are you going to do?"

This is also an old acquaintance.

Associate Professor Wei was used to it. He waved at the camera and introduced: "The great egrets by the river will migrate in the next two days. I plan to trap them and install locators. I would like to ask Ding Xiaoman to help maintain order."

"Are Yuchi Yaojin, Xiaoshuai and Xiaomei's family? They are leaving..." Luo Shaoan asked.

After being on the stage for so long, I felt a little sad when I suddenly heard that I had to leave.

Fortunately, he knew about this before and was mentally prepared. Luo Shaoan immediately turned into a reporter and started an interview. "Will they come back after they leave?"

"They should, they have already built a nest and will be back next year."

"How did you know they were leaving?"

"Last time I told you, I observed them shedding their feathers, which means they are preparing for migration. Today, I also observed them eating a lot, which means they are accumulating fat. This means they will migrate in the next two days."

"Then why do you want to equip them with locators?"

"The ones here are strays. I want to study their migration routes to see if they are heading to new wintering grounds or merging with other populations. If they are merging with other populations, I will be able to tell which population they broke away from."

"How do we trap them? A tranquilizer gun? A net? A stick in a basket with a rope tied to it?"

"Of course not..."

Associate Professor Wei always does science popularization in his live broadcasts, and this time is no exception.

There were several clapping emojis floating in the live broadcast room, but it was not very enthusiastic.

However, we still have to do what we have to do. It would be good if there are only one or two people interested among thousands of people.

Once we got onto the platform, we reached the riverbank.

Three big and two small, five great egrets.

It was Xiaoshuai, Xiaomei and their children, as well as the lonely single goalkeeper Yuchi Yaojin.

At Yuchi Yaojin's feet, there is another single dog looking at the Little Night Heron, a Chinese garden penguin that is smaller than a newborn egret.

These birds were standing in the river, catching fish frantically and eating without even raising their heads.

Then, everyone gathered in a circle to watch how Associate Professor Wei trapped these birds.

As a result, he took out a small fish the size of a palm from the bag, held the fish's tail high up and waved it towards the birds in the river.

"...It's really... simple." Luo Shaoan murmured. He didn't know how to describe it.

You can't say it looks stupid.

There are also a series of dots in the live broadcast room.

[I was a little shocked, but I didn’t understand]

When Associate Professor Wei heard Luo Shaoan trying to save his face, he turned around and said with a smile, "I added attractants to this fish, which is very attractive to birds. Wait a moment..."

Before he could finish his words, a white shadow came flying down, snatched the fish from Associate Professor Wei's hand, landed on the river bank with a clatter, raised its long neck and swallowed the fish.

Then he turned around, scurried over, and clucked, asking for more food. "Free-range chicken!" Luo Shaoan exclaimed, recognizing it.

[It’s a free-range chicken! ] The audience in the live broadcast room also recognized it.

Where did this guy come from? I clearly didn’t see it just now.

It comes first when there is food, it really is gifted.

Fortunately, it only thinks about eating and doesn't understand human language, otherwise the dignified red-crowned crane, the national bird of Japan and a first-class national protected animal ranked above the giant panda, would be called a free-range chicken.

I'm so angry that I'm about to faint.

Well, this one is not necessarily so. This cheap one will do anything you give it, and will accept anything you call it.

"You don't migrate, so go find food for yourself." Associate Professor Wei saw the free-range chicken's long beak running towards the bag in his hand, so he quickly protected it in his arms, muttering to himself while spinning around to avoid it.

Luo Yihang patted Ding Xiaoman on the shoulder and pointed at the chicken, "Let it get out of the way."

Ding Xiaoman was dawdling, sitting calmly on Luo Yihang's shoulder, licking his paws and wiping his face.

Then he jumped out, jumped in front of the chicken, blocked its way, and opened his mouth and shouted "Ha!"

The free-range chicken was so scared that it stopped, flapped its wings, and turned to run to the side, twisting its neck to look back in the direction of Ding Xiaoman while running.

Doesn't it know how long its neck is?

The result is that the body runs in front, the neck drags behind, and the head is even further behind.

It can be as funny as it can be.

It ran about seven or eight meters away, and its neck finally caught up with its body. It fluttered its wings and lay on the ground. Its long neck was shrunk under its wings, leaving its head exposed, and its face tilted to peek.

This is not only funny, but also vulgar.

This smile in the live broadcast room.

[Hahahahaha, free-range chicken, you also have this day]

[Walking Chicken, where is your dignity? Why are you so cowardly?]

[Crowned ibis, you are a crested ibis, a free-range chicken, you are higher than the cat king, fight it]

[Road Chicken: Can’t beat it, can’t beat it]

People are laughing inside the live broadcast room and people are laughing outside the live broadcast room.

Only Associate Professor Wei was sighing as he looked at the crested ibis. Alas, this crested ibis was very strange and its habits were completely different from those of other crested ibis. It made him very worried.

Just as I was expressing my feelings, I suddenly felt something on my leg.

When he looked down, he saw Ding Xiaoman scratching him with his claws.

"Do you want to eat fish?" Associate Professor Wei thought Ding Xiaoman was asking for a reward, so he took out a fish from the bag and put it in front of it.

Ding Xiaoman would never eat raw fish. He and Xiao Xiaoman only eat cooked food.

But it did ask for fish, but not for itself.

But...

Ding Xiaoman took a step back, then stretched out a paw and slapped the fish on the ground.

Then the fish flew far away, drawing a beautiful arc, and fell accurately into the river, right in front of a few birds.

If the Chinese national football team had this level of skill with this long volley, they would have qualified long ago.

The six birds in the river were frightened and stunned for a moment, then they started scrambling for the fish like crazy. Xiao Shuai was the first to stretch his neck and put his head into the water. He picked up the fish in one bite and swallowed it with his head tilted back.

When swallowing, he spread his wings to ward off the other birds and ignored his wife and children.

Seeing this, Associate Professor Wei gave a science lesson to the audience in the live broadcast room, "According to early views, birds have no sense of smell, but modern research shows that birds actually have a keen sense of smell, and they have olfactory cells in their nasal cavity..."

As he was speaking, he saw Ding Xiaoman standing on the shore, meowing into the river.

Some birds seemed to be paused and stopped moving.

After pausing for one or two seconds, they turned at the same time, entered the water, and swam over.

"Uh..." Associate Professor Wei was speechless. This couldn't be explained.

Bird, why do you listen to cats so much...
