Chapter 10 The Crow's Experience is Very Similar to Humans
The scene was so funny that Du Wanwan wanted to laugh but she tried hard to hold it back.
"Ya Ya" gave the seventh sister a small glass bottle of water at the right time. The seventh sister quickly took a sip and finally got used to it.
Aunt Hua looked at her daughter and blamed her: "Child, why are you so greedy? Eat slowly. The food given by the benefactor cannot be wasted."
The seventh sister lowered her head, as if a little embarrassed. Seeing that Du Wanwan didn't laugh at her, she pecked at the millet on the leaves one by one.
"Brother! It's time to eat!"
In the distance, the second brother Du Wenguan was calling out. Du Wanwan answered and stood up: "Seventh sister! Aunt Hua! I'm going to eat first. Come find me after you finish eating."
"Okay! Thank you, benefactor!"
Aunt Hua spoke to Du Wanwan very elegantly. It can be seen that Aunt Hua must have a certain status in the crow world, otherwise her movements would not always give people such an extremely elegant visual impact.
The seventh sister also said: "Thank you, benefactor!"
"You're welcome!"
After Du Wanwan finished speaking, she walked towards her family. It was already dark. A kind-looking old man appeared next to the pregnant woman's carriage. He held food in his hand and handed it to the maid beside him.
The pregnant woman didn’t know what she said to the old man, but the old man walked away with a bitter face and shaking his head.
When she was out, Du Wanwan didn't have the time to gossip. In fact, she wasn't a gossiper. She was leaving early tomorrow morning, so who would care about his affairs?
After eating the food on the leaves, Aunt Hua and Seventh Sister came to find Du Wanwan. Aunt Hua couldn't fly, so Seventh Sister had to carry her on her back.
The seventh sister was thin and it was difficult for her to carry her on her back, so Du Wanwan reached out to catch her, which surprised the three brothers Du Wenjun, Du Wenguan and Du Wenhuo.
"Brother! Is this the bird you caught?" Du Wenhuo was the youngest and talked the most. "This is a crow. How did you catch it? Can I raise it?"
After hearing what he said, the seventh sister trembled with fear and quickly jumped onto Du Wanwan's shoulder and shouted, "No, no, no."
Aunt Hua raised her head and looked at Seventh Sister, warning: "Shut up, our benefactor will not send us away."
Du Wanwan naturally would not give these two crows to her brother. She just wanted to save Aunt Hua and had no intention of taking them for herself.
"No. They are only staying with me temporarily. When Aunt Hua's injury is healed, she will take Seventh Sister away."
Du Wanwan’s words made the three brothers even more surprised. How come the eldest brother had even chosen a name for them?
Aunt Hua? Seventh sister?
It sounded like two female birds.
Du Jiang knew that his daughter understood animal language, but she just didn't say it out loud. His three sons at home didn't know either. Now that they were fleeing from famine and the environment was harsh, he was even more afraid to tell them.
Yao Meixian also knew that her daughter was unusual, but she also kept it a secret.
"Brother! Why was Aunt Hua injured? Did someone beat them? Was it some bastard from the north?"
Du Wenguan hated the northerners. If it weren't for them, how could the villagers blame his sister for the famine? How could they say she was a disaster and wanted to beat her to death?
They were also driven out of Dujia Village, and even their names were crossed out on the family tree. It was all caused by those hateful northerners.
If he had the chance, he would kill them.
When Aunt Hua saw her benefactor's brother asking about it, she couldn't help but explain: "It's not a northern snake, it's a big snake that came out of nowhere.
A huge snake came up from the tree where our Crow tribe lived, and it devoured our people. Seventh sister’s father was the tribe leader, and in order to stop the snake, he brought his six sons to confront it.
The seventh sister continued sadly, "Dad and my brothers were all eaten by the snake. My sisters-in-law were heartbroken and fought with the snake, but were eventually eaten by it.
My mother flew to the snake's head and tried to peck its eyes, but failed and was almost bitten by it. The tribesmen were killed or injured, and everyone fled for their lives. "
After listening to them, Du Wanwan vividly recounted the story of the crow clan fighting the giant snake. The three brothers Du Wenjun, Du Wenguan, and Du Wenhuo remained silent for a long time.
After a moment, Du Wenjun spoke weakly: "I didn't expect that the experience of the crow clan is quite similar to ours. The northern snake is the snake, and we are the weak crows."
Du Wenguan: "Yes, humans and animals have similar experiences."
Du Wenhuo said nothing, but looked at Aunt Hua and Seventh Sister with sympathy.
Du Wanwan was optimistic and told her brothers: "In fact, humans and animals have similarities and differences. The crows are at a disadvantage because they are weak and cannot beat snakes.
We humans are different. We know how to create, how to ambush, and how to use strategies. We may not be able to defeat the northern invaders today, but maybe in a few days, we will be able to fight back. "
Aunt Hua was the first to agree with Du Wanwan's point of view: "The benefactor's analysis is correct. No matter how great the damage is when the same species fights, it is not as fast and fierce as when different species fight. My husband and six sons were swallowed up by that abominable snake in two bites."
The seventh sister didn't say anything, but huddled on Du Wanwan's shoulder and sobbed, obviously frightened by the brutal war at that time.
He reached out and grabbed the seventh sister, held her in his palm, and stroked her fur to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it's all over. You will live with us from now on, and no one will dare to hurt you again."
"Um!"
The seventh sister made a "chigu" sound and rubbed Du Wanwan's thumb with her bird head, as if seeking comfort.
The three brothers were stunned. They felt that the little crow had become a spirit and was so nice to their eldest brother.
Du Wenhuo was still the first to ask: "Brother! Can birds understand you? Then can they understand what I say?"
"Of course you can. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
"Really?" Du Wenguan became excited and asked his seventh sister, "Who gave you your name? My brother?"
The seventh sister raised her little eyes and looked at Du Wenguan, shook her head, and then looked at her mother.
After a series of operations, even the dumbest person would know who gave her name.
It was the first time that Du Wenjun saw that the crow was so smart, so he asked a question: "How long do you plan to follow us?"
The seventh sister was stumped by the question. She rolled her eyes and looked around, but in the end she just kept chattering. Du Wenjun didn't understand a word she said.
Du Wanwan understood, but she didn't want to tell Du Wenjun because she was afraid that her brothers would be unable to keep the secret.
When one is fifteen or sixteen years old, he or she is at the stage of having a second-year syndrome. If provoked or angry, he or she might reveal his or her true colors to others.
Aunt Hua leaned against Du Wanwan's legs, curled up into a ball. She was obviously tired and sleepy and wanted to rest.
"Go to bed! We have a long journey tomorrow morning." Du Wanwan asked her brothers to prepare the sleeping place, and she got up and went to Du Jiang, "Dad! You go to bed first, I'll be on duty.
If the exposure is deeper, your injured leg may not be able to bear it. I am young, strong and healthy, so I am not afraid of this."
