Arlo Among the Animals Chapter 6

Neither one of them spoke for half a minute.

Flynn Yan's hand subconsciously patted the baby's back, with surprise and confusion written in his eyes like "He called me grandpa."

Arlo Shen was stunned for half a minute, choosing the latter between "destroying the world" and "pretending that nothing had happened".

After all, he is just a little myna and cannot destroy the world.

Brother Qiu closed his eyes and cried out in pain, pretending that nothing happened.

"My tongue hurts. Apply medicine."

Qiu Bugao flapped his wings.

The electronic sound brought Flynn Yan back to his senses. Thinking of what the eight brothers had just done, they were probably strangled by the rope, so I just wanted Xiao Liu to help take a look.

The younger brothers didn't know if they were imitating their elder brother, but they all stepped forward and shouted at Flynn Yan, "Grandpa, I feel pain."

"Grandpa, my wings hurt!"

"Grandpa, my paws hurt!"

"Grandpa, my mouth hurts!"

Flynn Yan: ...

Arlo Shen: ... No, you are here to defeat me.

The three humans on the assault boat finally couldn't help laughing.

The old woman smiled and reached out to take the child.

Xiaoliu pointed his finger in the direction of the assault boat and said, suppressing a smile, "I'm here, squad leader. Please help the "grandsons" take a look at their wounds." "

Flynn Yan glared hard at him.

Shen Qiusheng was helpless as Flynn Yan checked his tongue. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he nestled in the corner and covered his head with his wings, not wanting to see anyone.

On the way, they picked up several more people who were trapped in the water, and then returned to the nearest resettlement point.

The old woman’s family happened to be at this resettlement site, and they picked her up with great gratitude.

Everyone else on the boat was also sent to be settled by Xiaoliu, and in the end only the baby was left.

When he was first rescued, Flynn Yan looked for the baby and didn't see a single word. It was probably the parents who put the baby in a basin out of desperation to try to survive.

It doesn't take much thinking to guess that the situation at that time must have been very urgent. If the child's parents had not been rescued, they would probably...

Flynn Yan frowned and stared at the sleeping baby for a long time before sending the baby to the volunteers at the resettlement site at the prompt of another squad leader.

It was evening, and all walks of life were already aware of the flood in Fancheng, and donations were being sent out.

Volunteers and caring people from nearby have arrived.

Although the settlement site at this time did not have electricity yet, someone sent a generator and it was already brightly lit.

All kinds of instant noodles, self-heating rice and other fast food have been placed in the square. You can still vaguely see cars with red sails in the distance driving towards other surrounding resettlement sites.

Birds all have night blindness, so after Arlo Shen and the others came back, Flynn Yan forcefully forced them to rest at the resettlement point.

Nestled in a dry cardboard box, Arlo Shen looked at the busy crowd outside, tilted her head and put her head into the wings and began to rest.

No matter what kind of animal they become, or what perspective they look at the humans in this country, we can always see their tenacious struggle and perseverance, just like the history of this country.

Pretty good, Arlo Shen thought.

It is indeed the country I want to serve, the people I serve, and the society I want to contribute to.

Every encounter made him strengthen this belief, which will never change.

The six starlings cuddled together, you leaning on me and I leaning on you, sleeping peacefully in the busy but not chaotic atmosphere of the settlement.

The thick fog of the night disperses and dawn arrives.

Those who had been busy all night ate breakfast in a hurry and prepared to rest for a while. Those who had rested continued to board assault boats and kayaks to search for the remaining trapped people.

After a night's rest, Brother Qiu, who was fully recuperated, walked out of the carton and saw two small bowls cut out of mineral water bottles placed outside the carton. In the small bowls were water and egg steamed buns.

Arlo Shen guessed that it was Flynn Yan who released it.

Looking around again, there was no sign of Flynn Yan, so he probably went out again.

He was not polite. He was very hungry after not eating all day yesterday. He ate half an egg and some steamed buns in three times. Finally, he drank some water and finally filled his stomach. He squatted in front of the carton. Moved.

He was thinking about where to go today.

People in nearby urban areas had actually already searched almost all the areas yesterday, and the search should be extended further.

There are suburbs outside the city, and there are farmland and villages outside the suburbs. The urban area is flooded so badly, the villages will not be much better, and there is farmland...

Arlo Shen sighed. In this case, the farmland was probably hopeless.

He didn't think too much, and the brothers started to get up one after another.

Arlo Shen had time today and took the opportunity to ask the names one by one, but he couldn't recognize them clearly.

In addition to the egg whose name I learned yesterday, the remaining four little guys are named: steamed buns, steamed buns, corn, and earthworms.

The first three could understand it very well. When he heard "Earthworm", Brother Qiu tilted his head in confusion, "Why do you call it Earthworm?"

Earthworm is the oldest brother in the group besides Arlo Shen. Hearing this, he jumped on the ground very happily and said, "Because I like to eat earthworms!"

Thinking of yesterday when Egg said he likes to eat eggs...

Well, it turns out the original owners named it after their favorite food.

Arlo Shen suddenly became curious about his name.

After opening and closing his mouth for a while, he hesitantly raised his head and asked Earthworm, "Then what is my name?"

The five brothers' golden eyes widened in shock.

"Brother!"

"Brother you!"

"Brother, how come you..."

"Stop, stop, stop calling. Just tell me what my name is."

Arlo Shen was really afraid that they would call him eldest brother. He always felt that this eldest brother would turn into grandpa when he heard it... always reminding him of yesterday's social death incident.

When asked to stop by their eldest brother, the starlings grunted and expressed displeasure, but still said, "Call Qiuqiu."

Arlo Shen: "...%@#￥%..."

Brother Qiu Biao said a curse word that no one could understand.

He stared at those little golden eyes and couldn't understand, "Why did I call Qiuqiu again?!"

Has he been stuck with the name Qiuqiu for the rest of his life?

The younger brothers don’t understand what the elder brother says.

Egg tilted his head, looked at his big brother cutely and said, "Chirp, chirp, chirp." The master said that you like to chirp, so he called you Qiuqiu!

Arlo Shen didn't quite understand how Qiuqiu and Jiujiu were connected. Since I like chirping, what’s wrong with calling me chirp?

He asked a question that was very embarrassing for Starling.

Five little brothers, you look at me and I look at you, tweeting that you don’t know.

Arlo Shen felt even more numb after hearing their tweets.

Finally, he turned around and returned to the box, burying his head with his wings and beginning to shut himself in.

It's not that he can't accept being called Qiuqiu, it's just... Arlo Shen still remembers that a certain doctor named him Qiuqiu because he wanted to supplement the name... This Whenever he hears the name Qiuqiu later, he always feels an inexplicable chill.

However, Arlo Shen's autism did not last long. The noise not far away attracted his attention.

Brother Qiu walked out of the box and poked his little head to observe.

This resettlement site is a shopping mall and has not been affected by floods because of its higher terrain. The square outside the mall was filled with tents. On the side close to the road are various vehicles coming to support.

Today is the second day of the flood, and some local people have already recovered. At this time, someone drove a pickup truck, and the truck was filled with ingredients and pots.

When we stopped in the middle of the square, the driver took down all the pots and pans. The woman accompanying him turned on the gas, took out the ingredients, and started cooking dumplings.

While cooking, he greeted the people in the tent, "Come and eat dumplings! Hot dumplings for free, delicious dumplings!"

The driver shouted in a local accent, which made everyone stunned, but no one came forward for a while.

The driver didn't pay attention and was minding his own business setting up a pot to boil water. Then put the neatly stacked dumplings into the pot.

When the fat white dumplings floated on the water, the driver held a big spoon, one spoonful of which could fill a bowl.

The woman behind him must be his daughter-in-law. She was behind the driver and handed him the tools to make dumplings and a disposable bowl. The driver filled it with a spoon. She took it and brought it to the nearest tent. There was a shout out, "Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed when you eat dumplings, just treat them as homemade!"

The aunt who was called was stunned, stood up in a panic, and refused to ask for anything.

The woman pretended to be angry and said, "Sister-in-law, you look down on my dumplings and think they are not delicious."

The aunt was stunned for a while, and finally the woman burst into laughter and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm joking, stop being polite and eat. We are all a family, and we don't need to be so polite in this difficult time." , filling your stomach is the serious thing."

Then he pointed at the other person's child and said, "Besides, adults can eat fast food every day, but children should always eat something good. Our dumplings are not necessarily delicacies, but they are also real hot meat. You can still eat them." It can keep children warm, don't you think so, sister-in-law?"

The other party was moved by what he said, but obviously still embarrassed to eat for free, so he rummaged through the wrinkled clothes, and finally found out a five-dollar note, and handed it over with a shy face, "You're in a hurry, Kabuto There is only this little money in the house, you see..."

The woman took the money and stuffed it into the other person's clothes, then pushed the dumpling over and turned away.

The couple said it was free of charge, and at first everyone was too embarrassed to eat. But the couple couldn't hold back their enthusiasm. When the dumplings were ready, they were put in front of people, and they wouldn't leave unless they picked them up.

The driver also said that Chinese people have been one family since ancient times. What's the point of having a dumpling as a family? It’s not a family if we don’t eat!

Everyone was helpless, so they all brought the dumplings and started eating. The body washed by the flood gradually warmed up with the dumplings, and the heart that was cold because the home was destroyed by natural disasters seemed to be soaked in a warm hot soup.

Some people couldn't help but tilt their heads and wipe away the tears that had suddenly welled up on their arms.

Some people covered their heads with their coats and started crying loudly. But no one around him gave him a strange look.

After some people finished eating, they went up to help the driver cook dumplings, and then gave them to rescue workers, medical staff, and volunteers.

Someone else saw the myna brothers in the corner, carefully stepped forward and put a hot dumpling into their small plastic bowl.

The earthworm took a tentative bite and turned to call his eldest brother happily, "Big brother, big brother! It's delicious!"

Fireworks soothe the human heart the most.

Brother Qiu walked over slowly and took a bite of meat dumplings stuffed with green onions and pork. They were so delicious.

He took a deep breath and turned to check the injuries of his younger brothers.

Egg's wings and Baozi's claws were seriously injured, so Arlo Shen didn't let them follow. He called the remaining three, circled in mid-air, and followed the fire brigade heading out.

It was also a coincidence that this team consisted of Flynn Yan and the others.

A few of them seemed to have been busy since morning. They had just hurriedly dropped off the trapped people and walked out again without even having time to rest for a minute.

Finding that they were acquaintances, Arlo Shen didn't want to waste any effort to continue flying, and landed directly on the edge of the assault boat with his younger brothers.

Seeing them, Xiao Liu, who was facing the palm, widened his eyes in surprise, "Little Bugs?"

Arlo Shen chirped at him as a greeting. Then he seemed to be facing the water, but he was actually looking at Flynn Yan with the tail of his eyes.

Grandpa could still remember yesterday. Seeing Flynn Yan felt like he was back in that social death scene again. He had to take it easy.

But Flynn Yan obviously didn't take yesterday's episode to heart. For him, being called grandpa by a group of little starlings is like being caught on the water blown by the wind, leaving no trace in the blink of an eye.

He greeted the little ones politely, and then asked Brother Qiu, "What's your name, little one? Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how to call you."

When Arlo Shen heard this, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly wanted to change his name from Qiuqiu to Jiujiu, but he forgot that he was followed by a group of younger brothers who did not follow common sense.

As soon as he finished speaking, the word "Qiuqiu" came out of the corn next to him.

The steamed buns didn’t forget to add: “Brother Qiuqiu!”

Arlo Shen's "chirp" just came out.

Seeing this scene, he glanced at his brothers expressionlessly and lay down.

Forget it, just keep playing, it’s pretty good, at least you’re familiar with it.

When someone calls him, he knows that he is being called.

Flynn Yan repeated the name, then looked at the little starling who squatted like a small ball, and nodded affirmatively: "Well, it's quite appropriate."

Arlo Shen:?

What's with that look in your eyes? What's that expression on your face? Don't think I can't see that the appropriate subtext of your sentence is: worthy of the name!

Arlo Shen decided to have a unilateral cold war with Flynn Yan for a day.

The little bug twisted his body and pointed his tail at himself.

Flynn Yan laughed.

Today's assault boat went a bit far, leaving the city and heading straight to the suburbs.

In addition to Flynn Yan's team, there are also rescue teams from the private sector.

On the way, they discussed rescue methods and took time to rest.

But before we got close to the suburbs, we met a man who was using a baby bath as a boat to paddle across.

When I saw the bright orange, I immediately raised my hands and shouted, "Fireman, help! Help!"

Arlo Shen was very fast and flew directly to the edge of the bathtub. "Don't be nervous, the firefighters are coming."

The man was stunned for a moment when he heard Bago talking, but he quickly continued to say excitedly, "You're not saving my life!"

Are there any trapped people?

Just as Arlo Shen was about to ask, he heard the man yelling at the firefighters again, "It's to save the pig's life!"

Arlo Shen:?

They didn't explain clearly until Flynn Yan and others approached the man.

It turned out that he had a pig farm nearby, and more than a hundred pigs were trapped on the second floor of his house. There were also many piglets. If he didn't save them, it would be too late.

The man was obviously very anxious. He cried bitterly as he spoke, grabbing Flynn Yan's arm and crying until he was out of breath.

"I financed this pig farm with a loan! If these pigs disappear, I won't be able to survive. Comrade firefighters must help me!"

The man even cried until he lost strength in the end.

Flynn Yan quickly helped the person to the kayak behind.

"Brother, please don't worry. You can show us the way first. We will definitely save everyone we can!"

The man's mood improved a lot after being comforted by Flynn Yan and others.

Rescue teams rushed to what the man said was a pig farm.

When Arlo Shen heard the place described by the man, he flew into the sky with his brothers and rushed there first.

Got to the place and took a look.

The man's pig farm was quite large, but the flood submerged the original pig farm. Arlo Shen thought that the other party said that the pigs were all on the second floor, so she found a small building next to it and flew up.

Good guy, the terrain here is quite flooded. Even though the pigs were moved to the second floor, there was still a lot of water, and the pigs above could basically keep their heads above the water.

Several piglets were placed on the table, on the bed, and there were even dead piglets.

Apparently, the previous owner of the pig farm had been trapped in this place and couldn't get out. Seeing that the piglet couldn't survive, he held up the bathtub and went out to seek rescue.

Fortunately, he met the rescue team on the road, otherwise most of the pigs would have died by the time the bathtub reached the city.

While Arlo Shen was thinking, the assault boat headed by Flynn Yan rowed over first, and he was a little confused when he saw the situation at the scene.

There are no taller buildings nearby, so this group of owners has no better choice but to transport it out.

But getting so many pigs out is obviously not an easy task.

Flynn Yan rubbed his forehead and began to contact the nearby rescue teams that were available.

No matter what, it was still saved, otherwise the pig farm owner would have suffered too much loss.

Firefighters don't just protect people's lives. They are also responsible for the property safety of the people.

The rescue team became busy and directly used ropes to transport the pigs from the second floor to the kayak. Each pig had to be tied tightly. Otherwise, you will struggle in the kayak, and it will not be good if you flip over on your back.

There were so many pigs that the ropes were not enough by noon.

Arlo Shen couldn't help much in moving the pigs, so he went around to look for ropes. As long as they could be tied up, whether they were ropes or vines, they were all picked up by the mynah brothers.

After a lot of cooperation, the group of pigs were finally transferred to a higher mountain before night fell.

Although more than a dozen pigs still died, this was already the lowest loss for the pig farm owner. When the firefighters finished their work, they knelt down to them with tears in their eyes. Flynn Yan and others almost jumped up in fright, and hurriedly got up. Stop in front.

"Brother, don't be like this. It is our duty to protect people's property."

...

As time passed, more and more people were rescued. More and more caring people arrived, more and more people's properties were saved, and more and more supplies were sent to the disaster areas.

Arlo Shen and his younger brothers are busy from morning to night every day.

Help find the location of trapped people, help find people's property, and occasionally serve as a microphone when the walkie-talkie fails.

Within a week, the spread of the six little mynahs headed by Arlo Shen spread among all the rescue teams.

Everyone knows that there are a few little mynahs that follow the rescuers around in the floods every day. If you need help, just shout "Qiuqiu" in the sky, and the little mynahs will bring their little brothers to help as much as possible.

Many people say that this myna does not look like a myna, but is as smart as a human being.

Someone was going to find an opportunity to tease the little starling and ask him if he didn't drink Meng Po soup when he was reincarnated. In fact, he was living in a human body.

But everyone obviously doesn’t have this opportunity.

Someone from the Huang family is here to take them and Mr. Huang back to the village where the flood has receded.
