Chapter 106
As soon as the black crane in Wang Bo's arms uttered a cry, a similar voice sounded from the reeds not far away: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Hearing this sound, Lao Wang gasped subconsciously: the black crane hatched the crane eggs, and now there should be a baby crane in the crane nest!
The reason why it is speculated that it is a young crane instead of an adult crane is that the black crane is a particularly alert bird. If they can fly, they will fly away as soon as they sense the wind and grass.
Now Wang Bo heard only the sound of the crane, but no crane flying. Obviously, it was a young crane that could not fly.
However, the following scene destroyed his guess. Hearing the sound of cranes, the strong man immediately got into the high, deep and dry reeds. Only a big crane...
"Fuck!" Old Wang's eyes were bigger than crane eggs. Is this young man a magician? How did this play tricks to pick up the black crane?
This crane was a little smaller than the one in his arms, but only a little bit. It was obviously an adult crane, not a newly hatched chick.
Earlier, he thought that it was just a female bird that was hatching eggs, and the male bird and the cranes had already left, but obviously he guessed wrong, and the pair of black cranes stayed behind.
As for why the crane didn't fly away, the reason is very simple. Wang Bo looked at it with the light of his mobile phone and found that the crane's two legs were seriously broken!
Xuan Crane is a slender bird with a pair of beautiful legs, and their beautiful legs are not only used for smugness, but also for walking and ejection before flying. Without the support of the legs, they cannot fly.
Holding the two cranes in his arms, Wang Bo pushed aside the dry reeds. With the help of the young leader, Zhuang Ding, he quickly found a bird's nest made of dead grass and dry moss.
As he expected, there were two crane eggs of the same size in the bird's nest. The eggshells were green-red with dark spots dotted on them. They were the eggs of black cranes.
In this way, Wang Bo has two guesses. One is that the female crane in the pair of black cranes laid eggs when they passed the village on the way of migration.
The second is that the female crane somehow broke her leg when she migrated to the surrounding area, so she had to stay here and lay eggs later, while the male bird never left to guard it.
The crane with the broken leg is the female because it is the one that incubates the eggs.
No matter what kind of guess, Wang Bo has to take the family of Xuanhe away. Even if the female bird is not injured, he can't let them stay here. Not only is it cold here, but there is also a lack of food.
Both black cranes are in an environment of lack of clothing and food, especially the male crane, which is an adult bird, estimated to be more than one meter long, but at most a little more than two kilograms, and the body fat has been consumed. To freeze to death is to starve to death.
So on the other hand, the strong man is still the life-saving dog of this crane.
Of course, Xuanhe's mother didn't have such an idea, she was staring at this person and dog with resentful eyes.
Wang Bo is not as knowledgeable as Xuanhe, he will be a little depressed, looking at the strong man, he muttered: "Tell me, what should I do now? What will happen to this bird?"
The best way to solve this family of four is to hand it over to the relevant department, but he can't trust the relevant department because they just ate one last year.
He didn't think of a good idea, and he couldn't take it home without being noticed, so Wang Bo temporarily put the two cranes and eggs in the grass outside the castle. It is summer in New Zealand at this time, the climate is warm, and this location is also safe, which can be used as a temporary residence for black cranes.
In order to protect Xuanhe, he also released the strong man back, exhorting and admonishing the strong man not to bully the two cranes in the future.
The strong man is very smart, and after Wang Bo put it back, it lay on the gate of the castle, looking like a black crane guard.
They didn't sleep long after returning home, and the whole family woke up at four o'clock in the morning. Bo's mother was preparing dumplings, and Lao Wang called one by one to pay New Year's greetings.
As a result, he just made a call, and Charlie's call came in: "Hey, hey, Wang, I have good news for you!"
"What news? Someone came to invest in the town again?" Old Wang asked expectantly.
Charlie said excitedly: "No, for some reason, a white-headed crane came to the castle! Yes, you heard me right, a white-headed crane came to the house! What's this called? It's a good omen when the white crane comes to the door in the New Year, right? ?”
The hooded crane is the scientific name of the black crane, and the RB people also call it the nun's crane, because they are elegant and generous, just like the nuns in the West.
"What, the Hooded Crane entered the castle?" Wang Bo was stunned.
Charlie continued to shout excitedly: "Yes, Hooded Crane, a Hooded Crane has come to the castle, it is staying in the hall now, I will take a picture for you later! I know, you must not believe it, I actually had the same reaction when I woke up and saw it!"
It wasn't that Wang Bo didn't believe it, but he was speechless. One of the Hooded Cranes had a broken leg and the other injured a wing. How could they still run into the living room?
He opened the sandbox to zoom in on the castle, and sure enough, he saw a black crane lying on his stomach in the living room, which was the male bird that the strong man caught at the beginning, and it was lying obediently in the heart of the nest.
Charlie sent him the photo, then called back and continued to be excited: "See? I swear to God, this is not my PS!"
"My God, it's like a fairy tale. In your new year, your fairy birds flew to the castle. What does this mean? Let me think about it with number 8 thinking, is our town going to the sky?"
In Chinese mythology, the black crane is indeed a kind of fairy bird. Cui Bao of the Jin Dynasty said in "Gujin Notes Birds and Beasts": "The crane turns pale when it is a thousand years old, and turns black when it is two thousand years old. The so-called black crane is also." There are also them in the fourth chapter of Journey to the West: "The ancient road back to Luan is still quiet, and Fengyue also listens to Xuanhe."
In addition, there is a Chinese idiom called Guiling Heshou, in which the crane refers to the black crane.
Charlie's voice was too loud to scare the hooded crane. Wang Bo saw from the sand table castle that the big bird stood up, flapped its wings, and took two trot steps to fly gracefully.
This made him a little astonished, because last night the Hooded Crane's wings were obviously bitten badly by a strong man, how could it be able to fly in just a few hours?
After careful observation, he found that the two Hooded Cranes could provide the Lord's energy, and it was much more than the cows, sheep, chickens and ducks in the pasture.
Wang Bo is thinking about the changes of the Hooded Crane here, and Bo's father came over and called him: "Son, come out and set off firecrackers, eat dumplings after setting off the whips, and then let's go to New Year's greetings, another year begins!"
On the way to his New Year's greetings, Charlie called him again, and the voice was even more excited: "Snow! Snow! Snow! My God, Wang, you must have no idea what happened! You must think I'm crazy !"
Wang Bo had no choice but to open the sand table again to look at the castle, and then he saw two Hooded Cranes running into the hall this time.
The male bird has now returned to normal, and is walking gracefully around the heart of the nest, while the female bird is lying on the ground, quietly closing its eyes and resting.
The message Charlie sent back to him was also the same: "Wang, my buddy, that hooded crane flew over just now, you'd better come back quickly, or you will definitely miss this unforgettable scene!" Hooded Crane, New Zealand still has this kind of bird? I’m going crazy! What kind of good sign is this? We’re not going to heaven, we’re going to heaven!”
