Chapter 275: The Big Treasure in the Nest
Song Tan sometimes felt that perhaps the bit of spiritual energy she gave was too much for Dabai's physique, so it had grown much taller and stronger in the last few months.
Now standing there quacking twice, its little wings flapping, even the big black dogs in the village would tuck their tails and step aside when they saw it.
Now, standing in the chicken coop with such a big body, it made the group of chicks with messy fur looking up at it look exceptionally delicate and pitiful.
And it stood there with its wings spread, its bean-like eyes fierce, which made Qiaoqiao pause for a moment.
Then he asked: "Dabai, what are you doing?"
Hearing the owner's movement, Dabai let out a "quack", then flapped its two wings, and the little yellow hat plunged into Qiaoqiao's arms.
It let out a rough goose call from its throat, a strong man shedding tears, as if it had suffered some great grievance.
However, just as Qiaoqiao was about to touch it to soothe it, he saw Dabai as if it had regained courage, and this time it rushed into the chicken coop again, flapping its wings!
This chicken coop was a neat red brick small house built by Song Youde and his son in early spring; the small house was for warmth at night, and they built a sunshade outside for eating and drinking.
The chickens usually ran around the whole back mountain, and the surrounding netting was added very high; with Dawang and Dabai watching, there was no fear of weasels or anyone coming to steal.
They ate a lot, pooped a lot, and ran a lot every day; Song Tan had imagined the taste of stewing them in a pot countless times.
And now, the chicks were all standing in the shed outside, and the chicken nest was pitch black; Qiaoqiao was just about to peek in, but saw Dabai had already let out a "quack", stretched its long neck, and rushed straight in.
Although the entrance of the chicken nest was made small for the convenience of catching chickens, it got its fat butt stuck for a moment.
But this didn't prevent Dabai from successfully squeezing in.
Only hearing a strange mix of cooing and quacking inside, not long after, only Dabai's goose beak was seen fiercely sucking on a furry neck, and then step by step, it dragged the thing inside out!
That guy had a round head and a small pointed beak, a white top of the head, two white eye bags on the lower eyelid, and the fur on its body was mottled.
After walking a long way, the tail feathers were still dragging in the chicken coop and hadn't been fully revealed...
Qiaoqiao was stunned.
Then he watched Dabai let go with a "quack", and the little guy beside it hung its head, its body curled into a ball, its fur half-exploded, but it didn't even dare to move.
A few long tail feathers dragged on the ground, looking exceptionally pitiful and exceptionally familiar.
He was stunned for a long time—
Wasn't this the long-tailed pheasant that was pressed under the feet of Sanbao and Sibao in the vegetable garden a few days ago?
Why was it in the chicken nest?
Qiaoqiao squatted down to look carefully at the pheasant, and the pheasant's small eyes also looked carefully at him; the person and the chicken looked at each other, and soon both gathered their two eyeballs toward the middle.
Until Dabai let out a "quack" and fiercely slapped its big brother, Qiaoqiao reacted, and then turned around blankly:
"I, I'll go find Sister."
He didn't feed the pigs, didn't feed Dawang and Dabai, threw down the two buckets, and ran back.
Now that they had moved to Grandpa's house, he ran for a while before bringing people over; hearing that the pheasant had run to the chicken nest, the whole family wished they could surround it.
At this moment, under the eyes of everyone, the pheasant was still as honest as a farmer squatting in the field, not moving at all.
Seeing so many people coming, it only let out a "coo" sound, just like before in the vegetable field.
It seemed to be numb, and at this moment even lowered its head to peck at the grass in front of it, not knowing what it had swallowed again.
This time, even Song Tan was a bit speechless—
"Is this pheasant the one we saw in the vegetable field?"
"I think it looks like it." Until Wu Lan looked deep: "Look at the way it eats, it's exactly the same as the one in the vegetable field."
Zhang Yanping asked faintly from behind: "But why would it live in the chicken coop? What? Is freedom not important?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Song Tan:...
She had a rough guess... could it be that the vegetable leaves, vegetable stems, and vegetable roots she fed the chickens every day had attracted this pheasant?
After all, there were several treasures watching in the vegetable field, and they could only eat one or two mouthfuls after fighting for their lives, not enough to fill their stomachs.
And living in the chicken coop, they only needed to mix with the chickens to eat and drink every day; although the quality wasn't as good as in the vegetable field, quantity made up for the lack of quality!
It hadn't been seen for a few days, and its head looked even rounder!
But the problem was, the long-tailed pheasant was beautiful, but it lived in the chicken coop; whether its long tail feathers could stretch out was one thing, but whether it affected other chickens was more important!
But if it was driven away again, the mountain wasn't completely covered with nets, and the pheasant could fly and jump; couldn't it come over to visit at will?
Song Tan painfully took out her phone:
"I'll report it to the little village secretary."
She took a photo of the pheasant that was overly well-behaved and contacted the other party directly.
Not long after, the village secretary's voice message came over: "Don't move around, don't hurt this pheasant, this is a protected animal. If you can release it, release it!"
This was said, if it could be released, why would she report it?
Long-tailed pheasants were rare, but not non-existent!
Song Tan explained the matter clearly, and the village secretary didn't reply for a long time.
After a long time, there was only one sentence—
"Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
The village office was still a distance away, and Song Tan originally thought she would have to wait for a while, but she didn't expect the little secretary to drive over directly.
When she groped to look at the back mountain, she was also stunned:
"This really isn't something you caught?"
"Why would I catch it?" Song Tan was also helpless: "It can't be eaten or raised, what's the use of looking good?"
"But now it lives in my chicken coop, look, so many people are watching it and it won't leave. To be honest, it was already pressed by two dogs when it stole vegetable leaves in the vegetable field last time, and today it appeared in the chicken shed again; this is clearly wanting to take root!"
"Wait," Zhu Jun stopped her: "Your dogs catch long-tailed pheasants in the field? You have to educate them well!"
Song Tan looked back innocently: "How to educate?"
Ah, this.
The little secretary also stalled.
After a pause, she asked again: "How are you sure this is the one from the field?"
Couldn't it be two?
Song Tan wasn't sure at first.
But looking closely, this guy had a white hair on the back of its head that was sticking out, which was exceptionally eye-catching, so she dared to be sure.
Good heavens!
Zhu Jun also had a headache: "Try to get it outside the net..."
Song Tan took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed the pheasant's neck and threw it outside the fence, Zhu Jun looked very nervous:
"Be careful! National First Class!
Give some face!
!"
However, just as the words fell, the long-tailed pheasant that was thrown out flapped its wings in mid-air, and then with two "coos", it flapped back to the chicken coop again.
It didn't even lie down this time, but walked to the water trough and drank two mouthfuls of water, and then squatted down steadily again.
