Among the few people, only Yue'e screamed in shock, startled. The others were as calm as old dogs. Jian Ning even scolded him lightly: "You're itching for a fight, aren't you?"
Ding Youtian hugged Guoguo who jumped into his arms. Jian Ning glanced towards the corner where it bounced from and caught a glimpse of a beam of light flashing. He knew it must be that guy Qiu Ge.
As long as it knew how to hide itself and didn't disturb the local people, she was happy to ignore it. Turning her eyes to look at Guoguo who was making a fuss in Ding Youtian's arms, she scolded him softly, "You only care about playing around. You have a few little ones at home and you don't care about them. If you go back and find that they have even a hairless one, I'll peel your skin off."
Guoguo whimpered softly, then jumped onto Ding Youtian's left shoulder, standing majestically against the wind. The cold wind blew the hair on the back of its neck and fluttered like a flag, but it stood still. Its posture seemed to be looking down on the world.
"Is this a cat?" Yue'e was good at controlling insects and birds, but she was helpless with wild animals and was a little afraid of them.
"I don't know whether it is a cat or a meerkat, and it can't speak human language, but it can understand what we say." Jane Ning was happy about the arrival of Guoguo and Qiu Ge, but she couldn't stand Guoguo's cocky look and couldn't help but poke it with her finger.
"You're all dirty, get out of here!"
Guoguo raised his left front paw and wiped his face, as if to say, it's not dirty, it's clean, so he won't go down.
He didn't forget to glance at Jian Ning, and his eyes looked a little angry.
"It seems that it is not close to you, but closer to Brother Ding. Are you always mean to it?" Jian Ning said that she would peel off its skin when she came up. Yue'e guessed that this was probably the reason why Guoguo did not close to Jian Ning.
"Even though my wife is not fierce, she is only close to me." Ding Youtian was quite proud of this. He liked Guoguo's ability to catch mice and always looked at it with a special eye. Ever since Guoguo bravely protected her master last time, he has spoiled it even more.
"How can it not be close to him? He treats it as his little son, a treasure." Jane Ning said as she hit Guoguo again. Its eyes immediately turned towards her with a hint of warning in them.
"You glare at me again? Try glaring at me again or I'll dig your eyeballs out." Jane Ning pointed at it. Guoguo pretended to wipe her face with her paw, then raised her head and looked straight ahead as if nothing had happened, as if she didn't bother to argue with her.
Especially after Ding Youtian scratched its neck twice with his backhand, it became more powerful and coiled around his shoulders like a general ready for battle.
"Sister Ning, do you like birds?" Yue'e tilted her head and asked Jian Ning.
"It's okay, some birds are quite human-like." For example, the ones on Douyin. Jane Ning used to check Douyin occasionally when she had nothing to do. The parrots and pigs in it all had incredible IQs.
Yue'e smiled and said, "Sister Ning, I'll give you a bird. Do you want one? Well, it's not a proper bird. I wonder if Sister Ning would like it."
Ma Fuquan was amused when he heard this and continued, "A bird is a bird. Is there any difference between a serious one and a non-serious one?"
"Yes, what is an indecent bird?" Jane Ning was also curious.
Ding Youtian said, "I guess it's an unpleasant bird, is that what you mean?" He turned to ask Yue'e.
"Yes." Yue'e smiled brightly. "It's a Feng An. I've raised it for a few months. Many people here think Feng An's cry is unpleasant and that it's unlucky. I was afraid Sister Ning wouldn't like it, so I said it wasn't a serious bird."
Jian Ning thought that the Feng An she was talking about was probably a crow. Crows have extremely high IQs among birds, and some can even reach the IQ of a seven or eight-year-old child. Her master's surname happened to be Wu, and the nickname she gave her was Wu Ya. It would be exciting to raise a crow that could be tamed and understood human nature.
The most important thing about raising a bird is that you don't have to worry about Guoguo and Maoqiu, not only because you have to worry about hygiene, but also because they shed feathers all over the house, which is a headache.
She immediately became interested.
"Since you raised him, how can you take his love away? No need. I appreciate your kindness."
After she said it, she still refused. A gentleman does not take away what others want, especially when the other party has something to ask for.
Yue'e said, "I don't plan to keep it any longer. I didn't keep it for long. It was just injured and happened to fall into my room. After it healed, I let it go. It flew away for less than half a day before flying back. If Sister Ning doesn't want it, I will still let it go. If Sister Ning is willing to keep it and doesn't despise it, I will bring it back to you."
"Keep it." Ding Youtian saw that Jian Ning was a little moved. "If you like it, you can keep it for her for the time being. If she wants to continue to keep it in the future, you can return it."
Once you've raised him well and developed feelings for him, returning him isn't as easy as a simple kiss. But seeing that Ding Youtian seemed to really want to raise him herself, Jian Ning nodded, "Okay, if you don't want to raise him, I'll take care of him for you and return him whenever you want him."
"No need. There's no point in asking for something back after you've given it away. Besides, it can't be considered as mine. If it and Sister Ning are destined to be together and it's its blessing to be liked by Sister Ning." After Yue'e said this, she took out a bamboo whistle, put it in her mouth and blew a few times.
After a while, a crow flew from behind and landed on Yue'e's arm.
They were still half a street away from the government office. Big red lanterns were hung high at the doors of the houses and shops on both sides of the road. In the light from the lanterns, Jane Ning saw that the crow's feathers were moist and smooth, and there was a small tuft of pure white hair in the middle of its head, shaped like a crescent, which made her feel inexplicably familiar.
She liked it, but Guoguo didn't. It bared its teeth at the crow and made a threatening sound in its throat.
Unexpectedly, the crow didn't get used to it at all.
It happened so quickly that the crow flapped its wings and flew over at lightning speed, pecking Guoguo on the head.
Oh my god, Jane Ning could hear the sound of claws colliding with the skull, and she felt so painful for Guoguo.
Caught off guard by the peck, Guoguo almost fell off Ding Youtian's shoulder. This made the peck so angry that he bent down, and before the peck could leap out, Ding Youtian had already hugged him in his arms.
"Okay, who asked you to start trouble first?"
He touched and rubbed its back, and it calmed down.
Yue'e tapped the crow's beak, scolding it. Every time she tapped the tip of its beak, it would shrink its neck. Jane Ning found it amusing and asked, "What's its name? Have you given it a name yet?"
"No, I haven't chosen a name yet because I don't plan to keep it. If Sister Ning likes it, please give it a name."
"How about Baimei?"
"Baimei? Nice." Yue'e pointed at Jian Ning and said to the crow, "Baimei'er, from now on Sister Ning will be your master. You are famous now. Hurry and go to your master. Sister Ning will treat you well."
She gently raised her arm towards Jian Ning, and Baimei flapped its wings and flew towards Jian Ning, then suddenly turned around, "Ah, it doesn't want to!"
Jane Ning shouted.
