Arlo Among the Animals Chapter 5

Brother Qiu flew around the residential building. After not finding what he was looking for, he circled back to the main road. His eyes were fixed on the yellow water with sediment, and his eyes passed across the water floating on the water. All kinds of stuff.

An umbrella, a shoe, a branch whose leaves had been knocked off by the rain, and a red plastic bag came from nowhere.

Seeing the plastic bag, Brother Qiu immediately swooped down, picked up a corner of the plastic bag with his sharp beak, looked at it, and shook his head.

broken.

He flapped his wings and flew into the air again to continue searching.

After searching for several minutes, I still couldn't find what I was looking for, but I found a few other mynas.

They fluttered around the big brother and looked in the direction where the big brother was looking suspiciously. A little myna asked a question.

"Tweet, tweet, tweet?" Brother, what are you looking at?

Arlo Shen was brought back to consciousness by his younger brother's voice, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, a pair of eyes is hard to find. There are four pairs here!

He immediately turned around and chirped at his younger brothers.

"Help me find a container that can hold my stuff!"

Bage No. 1 tilted his head in confusion: "What is a container?"

Star Brother No. 2 blinked in confusion: "Where can we find it?"

Myna No. 3 tried to get close to her eldest brother to cuddle with her. Although he was avoided by her eldest brother, he was not unhappy. He still asked in a cheerful tone, "What does the container look like?"

Myna No. 4... Myna No. 4 saw that his brothers had said everything he said, so he could only look at his eldest brother acting cute with confused eyes.

Brother Qiu slapped his forehead with his wings, feeling a little headache.

Yes, although they are helpers, they can only be half helpers. After all, they are just a bunch of mynas who don't understand anything.

Myna sighed.jpg.

After thinking carefully about the container she wanted, Arlo Shen tried to describe it as accurately as possible: "Round, long, and sealed."

Looking at the four guys who were still confused, he repeated it again and asked: "Do you understand?"

The four brothers flapped their wings and said in unison: "Got it!" and then divided into four groups and dispersed.

After working alone for several lifetimes, it was rare to meet so many helpers once. Brother Qiu expressed his joy and once again lamented the difference between his younger brother and his younger brother.

With the help of other starlings, they quickly found a white enzyme bucket on the water in the community. It was a suitable size and could just fit into the urn of the old woman and her wife. The enzyme bucket was well sealed and would never let water in!

It was just a bit big. Arlo Shen flew around the enzyme barrel several times and didn't know how to pick it up.

This is where the benefits of having claws or hands come into play.

Arlo Shen looked around, then aimed at the plastic bag floating not far away, and suddenly had an idea.

He rushed over and picked up the plastic bag and inspected it. After confirming that only a few small holes were damaged, he held it near the enzyme bucket and asked the boys to hold the handles on both sides of the bag with their mouths, while he used his body to push the enzyme bucket. In a plastic bag.

Because the direction of the water flow was chosen, the enzyme barrel was pushed into the bag smoothly.

Even though it’s just an empty enzyme bucket, it’s quite heavy to mynas.

Qiu Bugao chirped, instructing his brothers to hold the plastic bag handles two at a time, and while they were struggling to lift the enzyme bucket, he put it under the plastic bag to reduce some weight.

Fortunately, there was no one around at this time, otherwise I would have been frightened if I saw the starlings carrying the enzyme bucket to the sky.

At this time, in the attic, listening to the crying persuasion from his children and grandchildren on the other end of the phone, the old man's firm look had already softened. Finally, he heard his granddaughter crying, "Grandma, come and stay with me. I'm so scared." The call, determination no longer exists.

She responded to her granddaughter carefully, and after one last painful look at the jar in her hand, she returned the satellite phone to Xiaoliu and sighed, "Let's go, I'll go with you."

Then he carried the jar into the house and came out about two minutes later, with faint traces of tears still visible on his cheeks.

Flynn Yan frowned and said directly, "Grandma, please take grandpa's ashes with you, and we can take them out together."

But the old lady shook her head, "I know how difficult it is to transport a person out in the flood, so I won't bring those things to cause you any trouble."

The old lady said that she was going downstairs.

The starlings arrived at this time. They flew in through the window at a low altitude with difficulty and then couldn't hold on any longer and threw the plastic bag on the sofa by the window.

The movement here attracted the attention of several people. When Flynn Yan came down and took a look, he saw that the starlings were all panting from exhaustion. They didn't have time to retract their wings before they collapsed on the sofa.

There is another conspicuous thing on the sofa, a big red plastic bag that is difficult to avoid being conspicuous.

Flynn Yan was a little surprised when he picked up the bag and took a look. Unexpectedly, there was an enzyme barrel in the bag. This shocked him, "Did you bring this in?"

Brother Qiu, who was lying dead on the sofa, raised his little head with difficulty, "This, don't let water in! Put things in it!"

Flynn Yan's expression was even more shocked. He weighed the weight of the enzyme bucket, and then looked at the starlings who were obviously very tired. For a moment, he thought: Can the starlings be so smart? And: Five starlings can actually lift an arm-long enzyme bucket! Zhong Lian was surprised.

It doesn't sound heavy, but it's just five starlings!

The size of the starlings is at most the size of the lid of this enzyme bucket, which is equivalent to lifting ten times as much as they can.

If he were not at the rescue scene now, Flynn Yan would definitely have a good chat with that smart myna.

He thought again of the fluent talking skills of the leading starling earlier. He didn't know much about animals. But can any starlings really be that smart? He was skeptical.

Flynn Yan's mind was racing with thoughts, but it only lasted half a minute. After confirming that the enzyme bucket was feasible, he didn't say much to the starlings and turned around to find the old lady with the enzyme bucket.

His wife's ashes were put into an enzyme bucket and tied tightly to her body with a rope. The old woman came out of the room again with a much gentler look on her face.

Flynn Yan and Xiaoliu escorted the old woman downstairs, then put them on the assault boat. As long as they sent the old woman to the resettlement site to reunite with her family, the rescue would be a complete success.

Arlo Shen and the others also followed. No trapped people were seen nearby. He planned to follow the large troops to move to other places.

On the way, they heard from the old woman how she hid at home to avoid being found by her children and grandchildren.

In the early morning, before the flood reached such a high level, the neighborhood committee organized people to start evacuating. The old lady stayed up all night because of the heavy rain. She was holding the urn in the room and accompanying her husband's portrait.

In the early morning, I heard someone coming to my house, so I went outside and eavesdropped on their conversation, knowing that they were about to be evacuated. You are not allowed to bring anything else except warm clothes and a few necessary items.

I immediately decided not to leave.

When the old lady said this, she hugged the enzyme bucket in front of her tightly with both hands, looked at the water with a blurred look in her eyes, and said, "My wife and I were childhood sweethearts and have been together since childhood. We have never been separated before or after marriage. I don't want to leave him at home. Since I can't take him with me, it's better not to leave. It's better for me to stay with him than to leave him alone."

So she hid in the cupboard in the storage room at home and pretended not to be at home. After her children and grandchildren could not be found anywhere, she had no choice but to follow the people from the neighborhood committee to evacuate. She came out of the cupboard again and continued to go back to her room to guard her husband.

Unexpectedly, I was found by a myna in the end.

The old lady clearly remembered what Qiu Bage said to persuade her. She asked Flynn Yan more than once on the assault boat: "Isn't this really a robot bird made by scientists to persuade the elderly? It's actually the kind of person talking behind the scenes." "

Arlo Shen's heart skipped a beat when he said that.

Fortunately, his starling body is really a body of flesh and blood, otherwise it would be really hard to tell.

Hearing Flynn Yan smile and say no to the old lady, Arlo Shen turned around and cleaned his feathers. He didn't quite understand the feeling of risking life and death between the old lady and his wife.

After all, he hasn't.

But he thought, it should be similar to comrades-in-arms?

Brother Qiu, who has been single for hundreds of years, thought so, and did not notice that the water suddenly became much more rapid.

Until a loud cry of "Wow" came into my ears.

Arlo Shen suddenly came back to her senses and looked around. Flynn Yan and the others hadn't heard it yet, but it was unmistakable. It was definitely crying.

And...it's like a baby's cry, a very small one, with a very thin sound.

Thinking of this, he quickly flew up and looked around with his golden pupils. Only then did he notice that the water around him was much more rapid than before.

His pupils shrank and he quickly flew along.

The other mynas saw their elder brother leaving and hurried to follow him.

Flynn Yan watched the eight brothers flying into the sky together, and for some reason he suddenly felt uneasy.

Just a second after this thought came to mind, Bago's electronic voice sounded from the sky with a hint of panic, "Monitor monitor! There is a baby in the basin in front of you!"

There was a baby in the basin in the flood, which is enough to make anyone's pupils tremble after hearing this.

Flynn Yan immediately stood up from the assault boat, causing the boat to sway.

But no one cared about this anymore. Xiaoliu and the old lady both heard what Myna said and looked nervously in the direction in which Myna was flying.

"What are you going to do, monitor!"

Flynn Yan was still calm, and while tying a rescue rope on his body, he told Xiao Liu, "Contact other people to help with the rescue just in case, and fix the assault boat in a safe place. I'll go take a look first."

Xiao Liu hurriedly took out the satellite phone.

Flynn Yan and the others got busy, and Arlo Shen didn't rest either.

When I flew to the front, I realized that the reason why the water flow was so turbulent was because the door of an underground garage not far away was blown open by the flood. The floodwater penetrated all the way and flowed into the garage, which caused all the nearby water to flow that way.

The basin carrying the baby is near the garage. There are various branches and wooden boards floating around the basin. As long as one of them hits the basin, the basin will move forward along the water...

Arlo Shen looked at the white spray of water in front of the garage and couldn't imagine what would happen to the baby if the basin was washed over.

He looked around hurriedly, looking for anything he could use.

Yes, you need to find a rope!

"Find the rope, find the rope!"

He hurriedly gave instructions to his younger brothers.

The other starlings knew each other on the rope. Sensing the anxious mood of the elder brother, they immediately split up to look for him.

Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in a place like the old city is rope.

A few were hung on the railings of the community to serve as clotheslines, and a few were hung on the green trees on the roadside to dry quilts.
Soon Arlo Shen saw a long clothesline on a tree. He quickly rushed down, picked up the rope in the water, and rushed towards the baby.

The baby was still crying heartbreakingly, and he didn't know how long he had been crying, and his voice was hoarse from crying.

Such a young child crying like this... In addition to worrying about the flood, Arlo Shen was also worried about whether the child would cry.

Thinking of moving faster.

The turbulent water started to sway the baby's basin from left to right. Arlo Shen rushed over and first looped the rope around the basin, then tried to tie a knot.

But the basin was too slippery, and the newly tied knot slipped to the bottom due to a wave of water.

The rope was of no use at all.

In the end, I wanted to use my body to block it, but myna's size was too small, and my limited strength was useless.

He could only place his expectations on Flynn Yan.

Over there, Flynn Yan has tied a rope and launched into the water, but it's still a little far away, and the garage is close at hand.

Various methods flashed through my mind.

A plastic bottle was pushed over by the water waves, and the starling suddenly sank to the bottom of the water.

Although he quickly got out and flew into the air again, he was wet and weighed a lot.

Suddenly, Arlo Shen suddenly thought of an idea.

He called for a few younger brothers, then rushed to Flynn Yan, picked up the rope in his hand and flew forward. However, the rescue rope was heavier than the ordinary rope, and its feathers were wet and could not fly high. As a result, Arlo Shen could only fly high. Can fly at low altitude.

Fortunately, there were a few younger brothers behind him who held the rope in their mouths and reduced Arlo Shen's weight a lot.

Finally, Arlo Shen called on the little starlings to stand in the baby's basin with the rope in their mouths, their wings spread out, and they held the basin tightly to prevent them from getting out.

Now without Arlo Shen's reminder, Flynn Yan knew what he should do, and he quickly pulled the rope towards him.

There were starlings in the basin acting as resistance, and the basin was smoothly pulled to Flynn Yan.

The baby's cry was loud, and there was nothing wrong with it except for being a little hoarse. Everyone present, including Myna, breathed a sigh of relief.

Arlo Shen threw away the rope in his mouth and felt a slight pain in his tongue. It was probably torn by the rope because of too much force.

Other starlings were also injured to varying degrees, either their claws were worn down or their wings were strangled.

They all looked a little miserable.

After discovering that they were injured, these little guys came to Arlo Shen one after another.

He began to moan and shout, "Big brother, big brother."

"Brother, it hurts a little."

"Brother, your wings hurt."

"Brother's mouth hurts."

The big brother on the left and the big brother on the right made Arlo Shen inexplicably think of the old man who was chased by the gourd baby and called grandpa.

I'm afraid these are not a group of younger brothers, but grandsons.

But they were injured to help themselves save others. After all, this is not the responsibility of a group of little starlings. If they had not followed him, they would have been sleeping in a warm cardboard box by now.

Since he is called Big Brother, he must take responsibility.

Thinking about it, he turned to look at Flynn Yan, preparing to ask him to help the little buggy look at his injuries.

As a result, maybe I just thought too deeply about calling Calabash Baby grandpa.

He opened his mouth and blurted out "Grandpa" directly.

Flynn Yan, who was holding the baby and having a hard time coaxing him, looked up and met the eyes of Bago, who was shocked and pale when he realized what he had screamed.

Close your eyes and destroy.
