Arlo Among the Animals Chapter 8

It didn't take long for the rest of the Huang family to come over one after another, and they tried to persuade Mr. Huang again and again, but they refused to persuade him and insisted on selling the house at all costs. The angry uncle of the Huang family turned around and scolded the man. It was so bloody that the man's father, 56-year-old brother Huang Laosan, was not spared either.

The villagers whispered and pointed at the family. Huang Laosan felt ashamed and kept apologizing to the old man.

Although a man is shameless enough to take advantage of his uncle, at this moment he still feels so ashamed that he wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

On the first day after the flood receded, such a big incident happened in the village. The village director was so angry that he scolded Huang Laosan and his family in front of everyone. Seeing that Mr. Huang was determined to sell, he agreed. Help him ask other people in the village if they want to buy it.

The matter has been settled. The old man will return to the city tomorrow. Arlo Shen and the other little mynas will go back together. The fields and houses will be handed over to the Huang family's uncle and the village director to help sell them.

Arlo Shen squatted on a tree branch in the yard and watched the whole process. When the villagers dispersed, Huang Laosan looked at Mr. Huang with a complex expression. Finally, his lips trembled for a long time but he said nothing, and left with the fat man with a gloomy face.

As soon as the people left, the whole courtyard became deserted.

The old man only glanced at the myna on the tree, then went into the house with his back bent, and never came out again.

The uncle of the Huang family had dinner delivered to him, but the old man didn't come out to eat.

Arlo Shen stayed outside for a while, feeling worried, then flew to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked.

Then he went around to the window and looked through the gap in the curtains.

The lights in the room were dim, and he could only see the old man holding a photo and talking about something, but he couldn't hear clearly and couldn't see who was in the photo.

But after thinking about it, I can guess it.

The old man was safe, so he flew back to the tree branch, thinking about the whole process of today's incident. As he thought about it, he suddenly began to worry again.

If the old man wants to return to the city, the other mynas will no longer be coveted by the fat man. After all, they are left behind by his son. Wouldn't it be good if he kidnapped them all and ran away?

Brother Qiu curled himself into a ball and began to worry.

But he didn't worry for long. The next day, the old man was sent back to the city by the Huang family's uncle's son, and the Huang family was still helping to clean up the house.

After being soaked in water, all the furniture in the house could not be replaced, and the walls and floors had to be re-done. So today, the Huang family and the street side arranged for people to come to the old man's house to repair it.

After all, Huang Dazhong is gone, and the old man will be alone in the future. Everyone can help if they can.

The old man thanked everyone at the front and carried the cage out the door. The six little starlings in the cage were crowded together, making the cage a little small.

Brother Qiu tilted his head and watched the old man walking towards the woods behind him, his heart beating suddenly.

He felt that the old man might be doing something big.

As expected by Arlo Shen, when he arrived at Xiaolinzi, the old man opened the cage door and shouted the command. Then he threw the food in his hand into the open space, picked up the cage and turned around to leave without any hesitation.

Arlo Shen:? ?

No, it's so neat.

He guessed from the old man's attitude that the old man didn't want them, but he didn't expect it to be so neat.

The earthworms got the password and were still looking for food on the ground, not even noticing that the old man had left.

Arlo Shen looked at this and that, and decided to find a way to let the younger brothers stay and give the old man company.

As a result, he flapped his wings and flew forward only a meter or two. The old man heard the noise and turned around, "You are not allowed to follow me. I won't let you if you follow me."

Brother Qiu tilted his head.

The old man still looked cold and expressionless, "If you dare to bring them back, I will feed you poisonous food."

Arlo Shen's pupils shrank, and when the old man left again, he didn't follow him.

Looking at the old man's back, Brother Qiu's brows almost wrinkled.

It is understandable that the old man did not want to keep them who had too much contact with his son because of his son's death, so as not to miss him after seeing things. But so neatly, there was no hesitation at all...

I always feel like something is wrong and I can't quite figure it out.

This place is not far from the Huang family's house, and Bago will definitely be able to find it back. A few earthworms ate up all the food on the ground before returning to Arlo Shen with their chirping.

I looked left and right, but I didn't see the old man's shadow, so I asked in a chirpy voice--"Where's grandpa, where's grandpa?"

Arlo Shen couldn't say that grandpa didn't want them anymore.

I thought about going back to the old man's house to have a look, but when I went back, I heard that the old man told the street director that he wanted to cover the top of the yard with wire.

When asked why, they said it was to prevent birds from burrowing into the house.

The autumn mynah bird trying to get home:...

Well, it seems that the old man has made up his mind to not want them anymore, and now he no longer has to worry about the immorality of kidnapping his younger brother.

Now that they are homeless, they take their younger brothers to find Flynn Yan to find a new home for themselves.

With these thoughts in mind, Arlo Shen flew back to the small forest behind with fluttering wings. She stood on a high branch, considered her lines, and told everyone about finding a new home.

The little buggers all tilted their heads and expressed confusion, "Why are big brothers looking for a new home?"

"Because we are homeless."

"Brother, why are we homeless?"

Qiu Bage pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "Because grandpa doesn't want us anymore."

"Brother, why don't you want us anymore?!"

The little buggers were chirping, their voices were extremely loud, one reason after another made Arlo Shen feel like he was in a world of a hundred thousand reasons.

He had a headache and raised his wings to cover his head.

"Stop! You don't have so many reasons!"

The little brothers were silent one after another, and looked at the big brother with their golden eyes blinking, "Big brother, big brother, why can't we tell you why?"

The little bug looks cute and cute, but in fact he is a 500-gram kid weighing 499.9 grams.

Arlo Shen was so disturbed by the noise that she began to think, "Why do I have to take them with me? Is it possible that they will be disturbed to death in the future?"

But after all, they were the original's younger brothers. They also helped a lot during the days of flood rescue. Arlo Shen couldn't bear to change them from pet mynas to wild mynas who need to compete with other birds for food.

I am worried that these guys will be bitten to death by other birds because of their croaking before they can integrate into the wild life.

Finally, while sighing, he led his brothers to fly towards the high speed.

During those few days of rescue, he had already found out about Flynn Yan's fire brigade.

Flynn Yan's team was the first rescue team from other provinces to come over from Tongcheng, the neighboring province, to help with the rescue after the flood.

Although Tongcheng and Fancheng belong to two different provinces. But because the distance is so close, it only takes two hours by highway. Therefore, Flynn Yan and the others were the first rescue team to arrive in Fancheng, and they went into rescue before dawn.

However, a two-hour drive is already very far away for a pet starling who can only fly more than a hundred meters at a time, has to stop to rest after flying for a while, and has to look for food everywhere.

In addition, Arlo Shen is not familiar with the roads yet, mainly because he has never been to Fancheng when he was a human being, and he is even less familiar with Tongcheng.

Arlo Shen, who had been busy all day and took a few breaks before finally flying to the intersection of Fancheng Expressway with his boys, was heartbroken.

No, I can't fly anymore.

He and his brothers stopped at a big tree at the highway intersection, his eyes lingering on the truck entering the toll station. It was obviously impossible to fly to Tongcheng by himself, so he had to find foreign help.

While Arlo Shen was trying his best to find a truck that would lead to the city, Mr. Huang was half busy with the renovation project at his house.

The street owner helped to cover the yard with wire. After finishing his work, he declined the old man's offer to stay for dinner and prepared to leave.

But when I walked to the door, I thought of something again, "By the way, old man, you should go and pick up the little buggers. It's already dark, so don't forget."

The director saw the old man carrying the cage to the small forest.

But he didn't think about it in any other direction. He just thought it was because there were so many people at home. So the old man sent the little buggers to the woods to eat bugs.

The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but quickly shook his head, "There will be no starlings in the house anymore, I lost them."

The street director was startled and his eyes widened immediately. He obviously couldn't figure it out, "Why, old man, after all, it is the only thing left from Dazhong... Can you be a person if you keep it?" "Think about it?"

The old man shook his head and his expression returned to calm.

"I also watched Dazhong's live broadcast for mynas. I know that these mynas are very smart and there are many people who like them on the Internet. But there are also many people who miss them, especially the leading one. Dazhong told me more than once that someone wants to Pay a high price for that myna. But in the past, Dazhong liked to say nothing. "

"Now that Dazhong is gone, there will definitely be people who miss those mynahs. I don't know that it's a kind of miss for them to stay, but I can't keep them."

"Not to mention those people on the Internet who are thinking about myna, just my relatives in my hometown and some people in this street. As an old man who is about to die, I can't protect those mynas. It's better to let them go. It's better to live in the wild than to be trapped. Others catch and lock them up to make money."

"Although Dazhong also used them to make money in the past, everyone's life in my house was obvious to all. Other people's houses..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the street director knew what the rest of his words meant.

He was at a loss for words and couldn't say anything to help. He was just a street director and couldn't help much. The street was usually so busy.

He did know what the old man said. Huang Dazhong earned enough money to buy a house in the city by live-streaming Myna. This was no secret in this area. In the past two years, someone sneaked into Huang's house to steal Myna.

The street director thought carefully and had to admit that the old man was right to do this.

He has seen Huang Dazhong train mynas. According to Huang Dazhong, his training method is scientific. He is also very good to the mynas on weekdays. Just by looking at the smooth and shiny hair of the starlings, you can tell that they must be doing well.

The sub-district director also saw other people training Bago. Previously, someone in this area imitated Huang Dazhong and started a live broadcast of training Bago. But the environment where those mynahs lived was dirty and dark, and what they usually ate were the leftovers from every meal of the family...

Thinking of this, the street director sighed. He couldn't say anything else. He could only tell the old man to go to him if he needed anything, and then left here in the falling night.

The old man raised his head and looked at the iron wires all over the yard. He stood silently in the yard for a while and then turned and walked into the house.

Dim lights came on inside the house, and the door was closed, leaving only the loneliness in the courtyard.

---

But Arlo Shen didn't know this yet. He was still standing on a tall tree and guarding the lucky truck that could transport them to Tongcheng.

As night falls, vision begins to become blurry.

The night blindness of birds made him a little worried, but fortunately there was a very bright hanging light hanging above the toll station, so he could still vaguely see the license plate of the car.

finally!

He saw a red truck pulling a group of second senior brothers! The license plate is clearly going to Tongcheng!

Arlo Shen was excited and immediately flapped his wings and flew up. He opened his mouth and his chirping voice sounded particularly clear in the night.

"Brothers! That's the car! Rush!!"

In the darkness, the autumn bug rushed to the top of the large truck that was queuing like a cannonball, followed closely by his younger brothers.

But when they stood on the horizontal bar on the roof of the large truck, Arlo Shen began to worry again.

The big car was traveling very fast on the highway. They and the other little mynas were just standing on the top. When the car started running, they would all be blown away by the wind.

Brother Qiu's golden pupils involuntarily fell on a group of second senior brothers in the car.

Otherwise, compete with the second senior brothers for a spot, ah no, a spot?

Qiu Bage coughed twice, cleared his throat, moved his little paws slowly on the horizontal bar, and then started to discuss with the white and tender second senior brother underneath.

With a small mouth, he expressed his desire to occupy some position in the eyes of the second senior brothers, who were confused.

The second senior brother tilted his head to look at him, and Brother Qiu also tilted his head, and stretched out his wings to make a small circle, "It's just a little bit of a small position, second senior brother, don't worry! We will never occupy more than one!"

Brother Qiu's breasts smacked loudly, and he made an honest promise.

Just as the car started to start, Arlo Shen was worried about the bird's safety and quickly called his brothers to fly into the car.

He had already chosen a clean corner. Probably because he was afraid that the second senior brothers would catch cold at night, the driver specially spread dry straw on the ground, which looked very soft.

Arlo Shen called on the younger brothers to fly to the upper left corner of the carriage and occupy the only clean area.

The second senior brother looked very unhappy about the arrival of several of their uninvited guests. Even though Brother Qiu had already called them to discuss it in advance. But after Brother Qiu and his family fell behind, the fleshy second senior brother still hit him with his head in a very arrogant manner.

Fortunately, Arlo Shen had been paying attention to their reactions and avoided them as soon as possible, otherwise they would have become a pile of bird cakes.

Brother Qiu sighed and began to miss the past years when he turned into a parrot. The parrot could fly very fast. If he were a parrot now, why would he need to fight with his second senior brother for a place to spend the night?

Woo hoo hoo, myna is sad.

But sadness was sadness, and he still had to stand. He flapped his wings and flew up, flying around the top of the second senior brother's head, and soon he fainted.

The aggressive second senior brother took a break for the time being. The other second senior brothers were too lazy to pay attention to a group of birds. The carriage that had been noisy just now suddenly became quiet.

Arlo Shen and his younger brothers squatted in the straw and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there was draft in the carriage, it was still warm to bury myself in the straw.

Earthworms and the others were exhausted after traveling all afternoon, and fell asleep soon after entering the nest.

Arlo Shen didn't dare to sleep. He had to watch the road and use the car lights on the road to read the street signs to make sure that the car was going to Tongcheng.

Otherwise, if we drag them to another city, the ride will be in vain. At that time, they will have to find a way to find a ride back.

Brother Qiu, who looked at the car full of Bai Huahua's second senior brother through the lights of the rear car, shuddered because he really didn't want to randomly pick a lucky ride again.

However, he was pretty lucky this time. Two hours later, the car accurately drove down the curve with the word "Tongcheng" printed on it. After entering the Tongcheng toll station, Arlo Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the toll station and entering the city, the street lights made Arlo Shen's vision slightly better. He chose a place that looked more prosperous and took his younger brothers out of the car.

Arlo Shen estimated that it should be around 11 or 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. There were still pedestrians on the road, although it was not close to the city center. But the high-rise buildings near the streets were also lit up with colorful lights, and the street lights on both sides of the highway illuminated the entire city as if it were daytime.

In this case, Arlo Shen could still see some roads. But after looking at the eggs flying behind him and about to hit the street lights, Arlo Shen decided to find a tree to sleep in for the night, and he was a little hungry.

Qiu Bugao flapped its wings on its belly and began to wonder where to find food.

Finally, I looked left and right and spotted a snack street not far away.

But he didn't plan to bring his little brothers with him. These little guys were too innocent and wouldn't know how to hide when they encountered humans with malicious intentions, so it was better to go alone.

After deciding, Brother Qiu called out the biggest bun besides himself and asked him to watch his brothers carefully and wait for his return.

"You know you're not allowed to fly around? If Fei gets lost, you won't be able to find your big brother!"

Qiu Bage chirped, deliberately speaking in a sinister tone.

The younger brothers huddled together in fear and shouted, "If you don't want to run, don't run. If you want the big brother, please let the big brother go!"

Arlo Shen nodded with great satisfaction. In any case, a group of brother birds can make him worry a lot.

Brother Qiu flapped his wings and flew to the traffic light shelf not far away. He waited intently for the red light to turn green before flying slowly over.

This was just a very common move on his part. Arlo Shen didn't take it to heart, but he didn't notice that a man holding a mobile phone not far away took a picture of him.

When Arlo Shen came to the snack street, he was looking around for targets. The lights here suddenly turned on, and the impact of night blindness was not great for Arlo Shen.

Soon, he chose a table full of girls.

He flapped his wings and flew over, landed on the edge of the table, and then blinked at them with his big eyes.

There's no shame in being cute or whatever, if it's useful.

The little starling who fell from the sky startled the girls at the table, and they all looked at him with wide eyes.

Then he said with surprise on his face, "What is this?"

"crow?"

"It doesn't look like it. Isn't the crow all black? His eyes are golden. How pretty?"

"Does it have a master?"

"What are you doing here? You don't want to tease us, do you?" A girl suddenly covered her head without knowing what she was thinking of.

"He probably wants to pick our hair to make a nest. I heard that some birds do that."

As soon as these words came out, the other girls covered their heads with horror on their faces: "But please don't, I'm going bald, and not a single hair of this hair can leave my head!"

Arlo Shen saw these girls thinking more and more wildly, and her cute face suddenly became a little stiff.

He patted his head with his wings and decided to order directly.

Brother Qiu coughed twice and said in a low voice, "I'm hungry and want to eat."

Chengjing's tape recorder is online again.

Seeing that he could still talk, the girls widened their eyes, "Is this a parrot? He can actually talk!"

"It seems to be myna! I found it!"

A girl raised her cell phone, made gestures at Arlo Shen, and marveled for a while before remembering what Brother Qiu had just said.

"What did this starling just say? Are you hungry?"

A girl tentatively rinsed a pile of corn with water and placed it in front of Arlo Shen.

Arlo Shen's eyes lit up immediately.

But soon we ran into trouble again. How many trips would we have to make to bring back so much corn?

He looked around twice, ran to pick up a plastic bag from under the table next to him, then put all the corn into the plastic bag one by one, and then politely thanked the girls.

"Thank you ladies, you ladies are all good people!"

Brother Qiu, who was issued a good person card, picked up the plastic bag and flew away, leaving only a few stunned girls behind.

"Is this myna so smart?!"

"Help! He's so cute when he calls me little sister!"

"I want to raise it!"

But this was just an episode for Arlo Shen. He didn't take it to heart at all. After bringing the corn back to his brothers to fill their stomachs, he settled on a tree on the roadside and just waited for dawn to find Flynn Yan. The fire brigade went.

But what he didn't know was that the scene of him putting corn in plastic bags and waiting at the traffic light was posted on the Internet, causing a small splash.
