Arlo Among the Animals Chapter 9

However, the splash was still too small and did not cause any sensation for the time being.

After spending the night trimming the green trees on the roadside, it was only dawn in the morning when the little starlings on the tree slowly woke up.

Leaving the place where they grew up and coming to a new environment, the other little starlings were a little uncomfortable. After waking up, I stayed close to my elder brother and didn't want to leave.

Brother Qiu stretched himself out and patted their heads one by one with the tip of his wings.

"Don't panic, big brother will take you to find a new home today! Then I will ensure that you have public meals and public employment!"

Brother Qiu tweeted to comfort his younger brothers.

The younger brothers don’t understand what public food is and what public establishment is.

But they were infected by the confidence in their elder brother's tone, and they all puffed up their chests, flapped their wings and screamed in agreement with him.

There was no place to eat breakfast, so Arlo Shen went around and looked at the street signs before setting off with his younger brothers.

However, it was his first time to come to Tongcheng. There were some places that he couldn't find accurately just by looking at the street signs. From morning to noon, the scorching sun hung high in the sky and baked the feathers on their bodies.

The starlings felt like their feathers were on fire from being exposed to the sun, so they could only temporarily find a public toilet to drink water and repair themselves.

Arlo Shen looked at the few pedestrians passing by on the road and felt that it was not possible to continue like this. He continued to search aimlessly. He would have to find it in any year and month before he could find it.

His golden pupils circled the passers-by on the road. After resting for a few minutes, he suddenly flapped his wings and flew up. He told Baozi to watch his brothers carefully before flying outside.

He looked around for the intersection with the most traffic.

After searching around the surrounding streets for several times, I finally found the traffic policeman directing traffic at the intersection.

Brother Qiu circled in the air and swooped down, landing on the stone platform where the traffic policeman stood.

The black little myna immediately attracted the attention of the traffic police.

The traffic policeman looked a little surprised. He probably thought that the myna was here to take a rest, and he deliberately used his body to cover the scorching sun.

As a result, the next second the traffic police heard the little mynah chirping.

The traffic policeman really didn't understand what he was saying and was confused for a moment.

Fortunately, Arlo Shen reacted quickly, quickly switched languages, and politely asked in his high-quality electronic voice, "Uncle Traffic Police, where is the Second Fire Brigade of Zhongshan Road..."

A bird suddenly spoke, speaking so fluently.

The traffic policeman was stunned for more than ten seconds, then he looked up at the dazzling sun, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and fell into deep thought as he watched the cars passing by not far away.

He was silent for a minute, and when he spoke again, his tone was doubtful and uncertain: "Robot bird?"

Arlo Shen:...

"Myna, myna, I am myna!"

He activated the clip sound again.

Since discovering the benefits of clip sounds, Arlo Shen's ability to accept clip sounds has greatly improved.

It has nothing to do with Arlo Shen that Bago is so cute with his clip sound.

With this idea in mind, Brother Qiu became more and more proficient in the clipping sound.

Hearing that Bago actually replied to him, the traffic police uncle couldn't hide the shock on his face.

"Is the current myna... so smart? Tell me again, what are you looking for?"

"Zhongshan Road No. 2 Fire Brigade."

The traffic policeman's eyes were full of surprise, but he didn't stop saying, "Zhongshan Road, it's a bit far, can you fly there yourself?"

Little Bugs nodded like he was pounding garlic.

But the traffic police looked at the little bug and doubted whether he could fly there. "We are an hour's drive from Zhongshan Road. Are you sure you can fly there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the traffic police uncle strangely saw hesitation on the furry face of the little bug. After a moment, the little bug opened his tender yellow mouth and said, "No."

His voice was low and his tone was pity.

No matter how you look at it, he is a pitiful little person.

The traffic policeman looked a little distressed.

He looked at his watch, then at the little bugger and said in a deep voice: "How about this, if you are not in a hurry, uncle will send you there?" After saying this, he felt a little strange.

I always felt that it was a little too weird to talk to a myna in such a serious manner. What if the little buggy can't think about what these words mean.

Just as he was about to change to a simple explanation, Little Bugs spoke again, only to see the other person step on the spot twice, with his little head hanging down as if he was thinking, and then said, "Okay, then I will ask our brothers to come and wait for the traffic police together." Uncle is off work."

The little starling, who was less than one year old, was very obedient and didn't feel embarrassed at all when he called him uncle.

The traffic policeman was even more surprised, "You still have a younger brother."

Brother Qiu puffed up his chest with some pride: "I still have five more!"

After saying that, I felt that I seemed a bit naive, so I flew up and said goodbye to the traffic police uncle before flying back.

The traffic policeman watched the little bugger leave in the direction he was leaving, feeling surprised and a little bit weird.

A myna can actually understand human language and can communicate with him normally! Isn't this really a robot bird made by some private "scientist"? The kind that follows people talking.

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, especially after waiting for half an hour and not seeing the myna flying back. The traffic policeman was already convinced that it was a robotic bird that someone had created to play tricks on people.

Thinking of this, the traffic policeman shook his head amusedly, "I just said, how can there be such a smart starling? If it's as smart as a human being, then that's fine."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a chirping sound above his head, which was a bit familiar.

The familiar traffic policeman's eyelids twitched, and when he looked up, he saw six black starlings flapping their wings and flying toward his command booth.

Led by the leading starling, they all landed at his feet.

The traffic policeman was stunned. Qiu Bage gasped and said, "Uncle traffic policeman, when will you get off work! I brought all my brothers!"

The traffic policeman looked at the little myna in the lead, and then at the other panting mynas behind him. He always felt that this scene was particularly mysterious.

He blinked and began to worry that he was hallucinating because he was too tired from work.

"I really should take a vacation," he muttered. As soon as he finished speaking, the little buggy called him "Uncle Traffic Police" again.

The traffic policeman pondered for a moment, then when the light turned red, he immediately knelt down and stroked the little bugger.

Well, the feathers are real, and if I pinch them gently, well, the flesh is also real.

What a little mynah.

The traffic policeman looked surprised again.

However, he still had to direct traffic. He didn't touch it for too long before he stood up again. While looking at his watch, he answered the little bugger's words: "There's still one hour left for the shift. Do you know how long an hour is?" He used the gentle words he used to speak to his daughter. sound.

Imagine a middle-aged man in his forties, his smiling eyes narrowed to a slit, and then he talks to you in a loud voice...

In short, Brother Qiu was severely stimulated.

When he spoke again, he honestly returned to his normal electronic sound and no longer dared to play randomly.

He asked the traffic police to go to work in peace, and then took his boys to hide behind a stone platform where the sun could not reach them.

There was no need to keep flying, so the boys quickly rested and chattered in the corner in words that humans couldn't understand.

But they only ate a little corn last night. The little starlings, who had eaten nothing since morning, were hungry after traveling for most of the day.

Gurgling sounds kept coming from the belly of the little starlings.

The earthworm opened its mouth pitifully: "Chirp, chirp, chirp." Big brother, big brother is hungry!

The egg clattered close to the big brother and nuzzled him with its little head: "Chirp, chirp, chirp," Big brother, big brother is hungry!

The corn buns and steamed buns also called me "big brother" one after another.

Their little eyes stared eagerly, and their stomachs kept making hungry sounds. They looked really pitiful.

Of course, Arlo Shen, his younger brother, couldn't bear it.

He looked at the sweating traffic policeman who was directing traffic under the scorching sun. After rolling his eyes in a circle, he flew over with fluttering wings and landed on the traffic policeman's shoulder.

His shoulders sank, and the traffic policeman looked over in surprise.

"What do you want to do, little Bugs?"

The little bug didn't say anything. He stood at the edge of the traffic policeman's shoulder, opened his inner shoulder and started to fan.

The breeze caused by the wings moving up and down was like a fan fanning him.

The traffic policeman's expression became even more surprised, "Little guy, you are fanning me."

Brother Qiu was a little embarrassed, and his bright yellow mouth clicked: "Uncle traffic policeman, can I give you some food in exchange for my brothers while I fan you?" The small tape recorder turned on the clip sound again.

I have no choice but to have children to raise at home. I am really forced by the helplessness of life.

The traffic police uncle didn't understand the little myna's lament about the melancholy life. He was just surprised that this myna was so smart and knew how to exchange labor for food. This reminded him that people on the Internet often make fun of animals that are too smart for going to school.

As he took out the unfinished biscuits from his pocket, he said jokingly, "You are so smart, little guy. Didn't you go to college?"

Then he took the cookies back to the command booth, crushed them and put them on the ground.

Brother Qiu lowered his head and thought to himself: What a surprise, you can’t believe it, I actually went to school! Still the kind that can eat national food!

But he blinked and pretended not to understand.

The traffic police didn't expect the little bug to answer anything. Seeing that he was really ready to continue fanning himself, he picked up the little bug and put it on the stone platform in a funny way.

"Eat it yourself. The traffic police uncle is not Zhou Papi. He wants your little brother to work. I can still afford to feed you just a few biscuits."

Embarrassed to be a freeloader, Brother Qiu secretly wrote down the traffic police uncle's alarm number, thinking that he would do his best to help in the future to repay today's favor.

A few biscuits filled the stomachs of the six starlings. After waiting for another hour, another traffic policeman came to change the shift. The traffic policeman took the little guys into the police car and returned to the traffic police brigade first, and then drove them in his own car. The fire brigade goes.

After such a busy life, Arlo Shen became more and more embarrassed. He decided to find a way to repay the favor once he received the iron rice bowl.

But that’s all for another day.

The traffic police drove for two hours before finally arriving at the fire brigade on Zhongshan Road.

But when they got to the door, the traffic policeman was in trouble again. He turned to look at the little bugger in the back seat and asked the smart leader, "Who are you looking for at the fire brigade? I'll ask."

Arlo Shen flew to the front from the back seat and said loudly, "Flynn Yan! Flynn Yan, squad leader of the first team!"

The traffic policeman nodded to express his understanding, told them to stay well and got out of the car.

He asked the firefighter on duty at the door. Fortunately, Flynn Yan was not on duty today and was training. After revealing his identity, the other party called Flynn Yan.

"Wait a moment, Squad Leader Yan will be here soon."

The traffic policeman thanked him.

Flynn Yan was confused when he received the call. The comrade on duty said that the traffic police team was looking for him, but he didn't know anyone from the traffic police team, so he walked out while searching through his memory.

When I walked to the door and saw the person standing outside, I became more and more sure that I didn't recognize him...

Still confused, I heard a familiar voice suddenly ringing from the door: "Monitor!"

Then they kept saying: "Grandpa!" "Grandpa, monitor!"

"Grandpa!"

Flynn Yan:? He stared wide-eyed at the few starlings that flew out.

Arlo Shen also followed:? !

What kind of thing is grandpa? These little guys call him grandpa, so what do you mean? Flynn Yan's grandson?

Brother Qiu, who was just about to fly over, suddenly stopped in the air. Looking at the excited brothers, he was speechless and choked with emotion written all over his face.

It's a mistake. Will I always be a grandson in the future?

Starling shrank his feet.

Arlo Shen never thought that these little guys could remember their grandfather. If he had known this earlier, he would have warned Flynn Yan thousands of times on the road, never calling Flynn Yan grandpa!

But the real world didn’t know this earlier! This put him in the awkward situation where he couldn't wait to scratch the ground with his toes.

Of course, if he was just an ordinary little starling, he would not be embarrassed and would even call his brothers grandpa, but he is not! !

Help! !

Qiu Bugao hesitated between turning around and running away and pretending that nothing was wrong.

Fortunately, the traffic police uncle saved him in time.

The traffic policeman first introduced himself to Flynn Yan as Chen Feng. Their names had the same pronunciation but different characters, which was a bit of a fate.

After a brief greeting, Chen Feng told the story of his meeting with the eight brothers. When Chen Qiu asked for directions, Chen Feng still had uncontrollable emotion on his face.

"I really never thought that a myna could be so smart. I was wondering if it was a robotic bird controlled by someone."

Flynn Yan smiled and said that this idea coincided with his original idea.

Chen Feng didn't stay long. After confirming that the eight brothers really knew Flynn Yan, he declined Flynn Yan to let him eat in the cafeteria and said goodbye.

"I just sent them here. Since they have been delivered, it doesn't have anything to do with me. As for the fire brigade canteen meal, I still won't eat it. The food in our traffic police brigade is also pretty good."

Flynn Yan laughed.

Seeing that he was leaving, Arlo Shen ignored the embarrassment and quickly flew over and landed on Chen Feng's shoulder to say thank you.

The little myna looked at you obediently and seriously to thank you. Chen Feng couldn't help but pat Brother Qiu's head. "You're so good."

The younger brothers always followed the lead of their elder brother. When they saw his elder brother running to say thank you, they all flew past "Grandpa Yan" and circled Chen Feng, saying, "Thank you, thank you!"

"Thank you uncle!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Chen Feng was so coaxed that his eyes turned into slits with laughter.

One person and six birds watched Chen Feng's car leave. Flynn Yan said something to the firefighter on duty, then grabbed Qiu Bugao who was trying to fly with one hand and walked into the fire brigade.

Being pinned in the palm of his hand and unable to move, Brother Qiu thought in hindsight that his sudden attack seemed to be causing trouble.

Flynn Yan took a group of little starlings to the training ground first to be led by the second squad leader for training, and then left with the attention of all the firefighters.

The six brothers were taken into the dormitory. When they got to the room, the door was closed and the windows were locked. Flynn Yan let go of Qiu Bage in his hand.

"How did you come to Tongcheng?"

He asked straight to the point.

Arlo Shen was not used to being so direct.

Brother Qiu moved quietly and answered quickly, "Hitchhike."

Flynn Yan stared at him closely.

Brother Qiu could only be more specific, "I got a ride on a lucky truck!"

The earthworm seemed to understand this and came over to imitate the sound made by the pig by "humming humming".

Flynn Yan nodded, "Pig truck."

He looked up and down Brother Qiu for a while and said, "You are quite capable."

Qiu Bage felt that this was not a compliment, so he lowered his head and did not move.

Flynn Yan wanted to let him know how dangerous it is for a group of starlings to fly on the highway. If a car crashes, not only bird lives will be lost, but human lives may also be lost!

But looking at Brother Qiu's obvious expression: "Don't scold me when I'm wrong," he couldn't even express the blame when it came to his lips.

Holding his breath in his heart, he pointed at Brother Qiu for a while, but he didn't say anything too extreme. He just said - "Just wait."

Then he took his cell phone and walked out the door.

Arlo Shen breathed a sigh of relief when the door of the dormitory slammed shut. The younger brothers who were standing far away just now came over and said, "Big brother, big brother! Grandpa is so fierce!"

"Grandpa is fierce!"

"Eggs are scary!"

Arlo Shen squinted at the group of rudderbirds that had just moved to the corner as soon as he saw Flynn Yan's serious face, and laughed ferociously.

"You didn't hide very quickly just now? What do you call me big brother? I'm not your big brother."

As he spoke, he stood on the window sill, wondering if Flynn Yan had called Mr. Huang.

Flynn Yan's current reaction was as expected. After all, who would have thought that six pet mynas could fly from one city to another. A group of starlings flying at low altitude on the highway can easily cause traffic accidents.

So after Arlo Shen just said that he came hitchhiking, Flynn Yan's expression became more relaxed.

Thinking of this, Arlo Shen began to think about how to persuade Flynn Yan to let him stay when he came back.

Flynn Yan, who left the dormitory, did what Arlo Shen thought and called the person in charge of the street. He was a little surprised to learn that the old man had released the Eighth Brother himself.

After learning the specific situation, he frowned. It's really hard to do.

But when I think about Bage leaving, Mr. Huang is the only one left... without any relatives. Now even the Bage left behind by his son had to be let go because others coveted him, and he ended up alone.

Flynn Yan's expression was a little ugly. He was silent for a moment and finally seemed to have made some decision. He said to the phone, "In this way, Director Cao, please look after the old man more on weekdays and occasionally send some food or something. I will pay for it. I will pay for it later." I will transfer it to your WeChat soon."

Flynn Yan is not a wealthy man, and his salary as a firefighter is not much. This is the only thing he can do.

The person in charge was obviously taken aback. He refused quickly and was very puzzled at the same time. "Mr. Huang and I are also acquaintances. Besides, I am the street director here. I will definitely not leave the old man alone. Don't worry."

"You don't need to give me any money. You and the old man are not related, so you can't do anything wrong..."

Director Cao wanted to say something else, but a deafening ringing sound penetrated from the phone and went straight to Naoren.

Without giving Director Cao time to respond, Flynn Yan said: "I will contact you later."

Then he threw his phone on the table and ran downstairs quickly.

The originally quiet fire brigade was completely in a state of excitement because of the ringing of the bell. Everyone, whether they were eating, going to the toilet, or training, all rushed to the garage as fast as possible.

The correspondent had already been waiting in the garage with his camera, quickly talking about the situation while quickly getting dressed.

"There was a fire in Huayuan Villa. It was said that the fire was caused by cigarette B*tts thrown upstairs onto the quilts of the residents downstairs. The fire spread from all sides along the balcony and spread very quickly!"

These words alone are enough to imagine the situation at the scene. Flynn Yan was the first to put on his clothes and get in the car with a serious face.

"There is going to be a traffic jam at this time. Contact the traffic police team to help clear the way! If the fire spreads too quickly, the situation will be very critical. You can't delay even one second!"

The correspondent contacted the traffic police team while answering the call.

Within thirty seconds of speaking, all the firefighters had already boarded their vehicles, and a total of three fire trucks quickly drove out of the fire brigade.

But before the car left the street outside, a small black thing suddenly flew in from the window of the lead car where Flynn Yan was.

Flynn Yan, who was sitting by the window, subconsciously raised his hand to block the car, and saw the little buggy, who was all black with yellow beak and claws, landed on the rear view mirror of the car, blinking at him with his golden pupils.

Flynn Yan's eyelids twitched. He remembered to close the dormitory door tightly before leaving.

"How did you get out?"

Qiu Bage tilted his head and looked at him, "I want to go too!" He thought of how he immediately pressed the doorknob and ran out with his brothers when he heard the bell, so he didn't answer directly.

As he spoke, he nodded toward the window. Before Flynn Yan could react, the remaining five starlings rolled in like small cannonballs.

Six starlings stood neatly in front and looked at him.

Flynn Yan felt a headache again.

"No, what are you doing following me?"

Brother Qiu stomped his feet and replied sternly: "Join the firefighting! Man and bird have the responsibility!"

Flynn Yan had seen how talkative Qiu Bage was, and he was both angry and funny for a moment.

But now it is obviously impossible to park the car and send the myna back. We can only wait until we get to the place with him.

It had only been ten seconds since the little boys broke in and Flynn Yan talked to them. Not only were Xiaoliu and others who had seen Arlo Shen in the car, but there was also another group of firefighters who had never seen them before.

They poked their heads over from the back row and looked at the little myna who was talking back to Flynn Yan in surprise. In the end, they were all amused by the eight words of myna.

The correspondent hung up the call from the traffic police team: "The traffic police team will clear the way for us at the most congested roundabout. Just go there now."

Then he pointed the video at the little starling in front and asked Flynn Yan: "Squad leader Yan, what's going on with these birds?"

Xiaoliu came to his senses, and before Flynn Yan could speak, he couldn't wait to tell the story of the heroic feats of the little buggers at the flood scene, which aroused the surprise of the firefighters in the car.

"So smart?"

"Is this really a myna and not a parrot?!"

...

Finally, a young firefighter asked, "Then how did they get to Tongcheng?"

This stopped Xiao Liu from asking, and Xiao Liu looked at Flynn Yan dumbly.

Flynn Yan looked back at his young comrade and put his hand on his forehead.

It is said that this group of starlings hitchhiked across the province to Tongcheng... Who can believe this?

The fire truck drove quickly to its destination with its blaring siren.

However, less than two minutes after the car entered the avenue, the car in front was traveling slower and slower.

At first, when the cars in front heard the siren, they all sped up or gave way. But halfway through, the car in front suddenly became blocked and there was no room to give way.

Someone heard the siren and rolled down the window to look, then immediately turned the steering wheel and pulled his car to the side. But here is a one-way street with a gap in the middle that is not big enough for a fire truck to pass through.

Seeing that one minute passed in a waste, Flynn Yan looked at the time and got out of the car with a frown. He wanted to see how the traffic in front of him was jammed, but the car driver stopped him halfway and showed him the screen of his mobile phone.

"Comrade firefighter, you don't have to go over. There's a rear-end collision ahead. The driver is unwilling to move out of the way. There's a fight going on ahead. See if there is another way."

But let's not talk about whether there is another way. The problem is that it is blocked behind them and they can't get out even if they think of it.

Arlo Shen, who was following Flynn Yan's shoulders, stared at the screen and saw that it was a short video software. In today's era of rapid information, as soon as a commotion occurs, someone will take a video and post it online.

Judging from the video, the scene of the rear-end collision was not serious, but the driver in front was unwilling to move. As soon as someone asked him to move, he immediately raised his eyebrows and cursed.

The driver of the car behind him was quite polite at first, but the car in front of him pissed off the car behind him by mouthing his genitals, and the two almost got into a fight.

The traffic police hadn't arrived so soon, but it was definitely not possible for the car to continue to be blocked. Flynn Yan's face had become very ugly. He turned around and moved forward, seemingly ready to say something.

But Arlo Shen grabbed his hat.

"You wait! I'll go!"

He flapped his wings and said I can do it all over his face.

Then he greeted the younger brothers and rushed over without giving Flynn Yan time to react.

Fortunately, the road was not blocked for a long time, and they quickly flew to the scene of the incident. The two drivers seemed to be about to start a fight, but they turned a deaf ear to the piercing fire engine siren behind them.

People nearby were urging them to give way to the fire truck.

The driver of the car in front turned around with a fierce look on his face and yelled, "What do you want me to do! No one will be able to leave until this person pays me on the spot today!"

"What happened to the fire truck? Are fire trucks more expensive? I tell you to pay for it quickly, or I will spend all the money with you today!"

The driver of the car behind me was so angry that he had to wait for the traffic police to come and call the insurance company.

The two were in a stalemate again.

Nearly another minute passed. Arlo Shen stood in the car next to him and listened to the whole process. He chirped twice to greet his brothers and flew above the car in front of him.

The arrival of six starlings quickly attracted the attention of everyone present.

They fly relatively low and are very eye-catching because of their dark body.

"What kind of bird is this? When did it come here? Come to the road to do it..."

Before the crowd had finished speaking, they saw five of the six blackbirds stopping on the windshield, sticking their B*tts out, and running away like crazy.

After a few clicks, the entire windshield was covered with white and black bird droppings.

"Alas!"

The onlookers backed away in disgust.

Arlo Shen was not idle either. Taking advantage of everyone's attention on the younger brothers, he swooped down towards the driver of the car in front.

With a sharp mouth, the other party covered his head and screamed.
