Chapter 7
Regardless of whether it counts or not, Bai Gaoxing still achieved his goal that night and happily watched TV for two hours. Even when he kept shouting "Change the channel, change the channel", Li Pho pressed it for him, which was really a pleasant surprise.
He originally thought that Li Pho, an autistic person, might be bored and leave him in the living room, so that he could control the remote control himself.
I didn't expect that the other party is quite patient with pets.
As a result, the conclusion was drawn too early, and one night later, he was slapped in the face by reality.
…
This is the third day that Bai Gaoxing has been dressed as a parrot.
After turning into a large parrot, he had no special skills except talking, eating melon seeds and flying.
After the adaptation period of the first two days, Bai Gaoxing felt that he had gradually adapted to this body and began to feel the joy of being a bird.
It's fine not to be a human, the only regret is that I traveled through time before I could properly experience college life...
Early in the morning, Bai Gaoxing squatted in the cage and looked left and right at the food bowl, but there was no food in sight.
Looking at Li Pho again, he sat on the sofa in a daze again after returning from his morning run. I had no idea what he was thinking about.
Bai Gaoxing couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. No matter how autistic he was, he still had to feed his pet, right? What's more, he had a large parrot, and one meal was equivalent to three meals for a small parrot. Couldn't he use a bigger box?
Bai Gaoxing grabbed the empty food bowl and began to shake it, making a popping and crackling sound.
With such a big commotion at home, a normal person should have rushed over to check out what was going on, but Li Pu seemed not to have heard anything and was still sitting there in a daze.
Looking at the man sitting on the sofa like a statue, Bai Gaoxing knew that if he didn't work harder, he would miss this meal, so he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, hello? Good morning!"
"Come here, come here, look this way."
His call worked, and Li Pho looked towards him.
Bai Gaoxing quickly grabbed the lunch box with his paws and shook it vigorously, "I'm hungry, I'm hungry, give me more rice!"
The noise was loud enough to disturb the people.
Li Pu was shocked by the penetrating noise and walked towards him with the bag of food, saying as he walked, "Dabai, be quiet."
What a rude act. Bai Gaoxing shut up and watched the man take the lunch box out, fill it with food, and put it back.
He ate two bites of the food and became very excited. He looked up and added, "Change the box for me to a bigger one."
He spoke casually, so his tone and intonation were closer to human conversation.
Li Pu paused and returned to the cage, "What did you say?"
Bai Gaoxing was stunned for a moment, and began to play dumb under the man's gaze: "Big! Big! Melon seeds, peanuts, big ones!"
After he repeated it more than ten times, Li Pu said "Be quiet" again, and his figure went away again. When he came back, he had some melon seeds and even walnuts in his hands. Bai Gaoxing picked up one and put it to his mouth. He bit open the shell in no time and peeled the walnut as easily as peeling a grape.
Li Pu stood in front of the cage, looked at his new parrot for a while, and thought about what his assistant said yesterday.
He must be confused to think that Baymax always agrees with him... Maybe he learned it from his original owner or from TV, after all, Baymax is so smart.
Bai Gaoxing finished half a box of rice in one breath. When he looked up, he found that Li Pu had returned to the old place.
...There's no hope.
Bai Gaoxing amused himself for a while when he suddenly heard a door closing with a click. He turned around and saw that Li Pu had disappeared from the room.
He went out again? ?
Bai Gaoxing stared at the gate deeply, and there seemed to be twinkling lights in his round black eyes.
A second later, he jumped out of the cage, spread his wings and fluttered onto the sofa, then onto the dining table. He looked around but didn't see any food.
I pulled out a few napkins to show my fun.
Now the land is his.
Bai Gaoxing thought, even if it is a pet, it is still a family member, right?
He consciously categorizes himself.
Then, Bai Gaoxing walked around the house without stopping, and he really discovered something new - the kitchen door, which had been closed before, accidentally left a gap today, just enough for it to pass through.
Bai Gaoxing squeezed through the crack in the door and looked up to see the kitchen, which had been tidy and clean without any leftovers. To the right was the sink.
I just happened to feel thirsty.
Bai Gaoxing flew up to the platform with all his strength, then climbed onto the water pipe, stretched out a claw to tightly grasp the faucet, and pushed hard -
No, only fools drink raw water.
Bai Gaoxing's excitement suddenly stopped, and he turned around to look around. He remembered that Li Pu would always bring a cup to the kitchen when he drank water, so there must be drinking water that he could drink directly...
His eyes scanned every corner of the kitchen until he saw a strange machine.
It's nothing, it's just because there was a cup under the machine.
There are also two numbers on it, one is the temperature and the other is the remaining water amount.
Bai Gaoxing took a closer look and made sure the temperature was sufficient, then poked the button with the word "normal temperature" with his mouth.
He waited and waited for a long time, but no water came out.
What kind of high technology is this?
Bai Gaoxing stared at it for a long time and finally found something like a knob in the middle of the machine. He couldn't help but wonder if this thing had to be turned for the water to come out?
He tried to pry it open with his claws, but failed. Then he accidentally slipped and stepped on it, and water began to gushed out.
"……grass."
He pressed the switch hard again, drank the water in the cup with satisfaction, and then slipped out through the crack in the door again.
From this angle, he saw the sweeping robot hiding in the corner of the restaurant.
If Bai Gaoxing could make expressions, it would definitely be a smile of fun.
"Little whale?"
In front of the black round sweeping robot, Bai Gaoxing read out the words printed on it.
As soon as the words fell, the LCD screen lit up, showing a "^_^" emoticon, along with a bunch of function labels and time numbers.
"Hello, master! I am a little whale. My battery is fully charged. Please start using me!" The sweeping robot made a cute sound.
“…”
Three minutes later, Bai Gaoxing was standing on the little whale and galloping around the living room. Wherever he went, the wind was howling and the ground was covered with fur.
Bai Gaoxing rode it through the living room, dining room, and corridor, and finally headed straight for the living room balcony. However, just as he looked down through the French window, a hoarse and resentful voice came up:
"You're really sick!"
"I'm going to tear you dogs apart sooner or later!"
"Get out of here you idiots!!!"
Sounds familiar.
Bai Gaoxing was surprised that there were such noble people in such a community. Suddenly he remembered that the sound might not be made by a human, but could also be made by a bird.
He can now understand bird language.
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the sound of sparse flapping wings was heard, and Bai Gaoxing saw another group of magpies flying away.
"Quack, quack! quack, quack!"
Sure enough, the cursing sounds below were actually the chirping of birds, one after another, with no sign of stopping at all.
Bai Gaoxing was having a great time, and when he heard these words, he got annoyed and yelled, "It's so noisy! Stop it!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, so he switched to bird language and shouted it again.
Things got out of control and the beautiful morning turned into a shouting and cursing war.
"Quack! Quack!"
"Quack, quack! It's so noisy! Quack, quack! Stop making noise so early in the morning!"
When Li Pu arrived home, he heard a noise that penetrated his soul.
He was silent for a moment, then immediately put down what he was holding and went to look for the source of the sound. He had heard birds chirping downstairs before going upstairs, and although the sound was a little blurry due to the good soundproofing of the walls, he still suspected that it was Dabai who made the sound.
Of course, I was just suspicious - because someone downstairs also raised a bird, a starling, and I could occasionally hear its calls, but they were a little different from today's...
Li Pu walked all the way to the balcony. The noisy sounds became clearer. He saw his big parrot, which had just arrived home three days ago, spreading its wings and sticking out its chest, quacking loudly in a show of force. Listening to the response coming from the gap, it was obvious that the two birds were "talking".
But what it steps on...
Li Pu usually hires a housekeeper to do the cleaning, but he also cleans the house himself occasionally. If I am not mistaken, this round thing is the sweeping robot he bought last year...?
"Dabai."
After he opened his mouth, the big parrot suddenly shuddered, folded its wings and looked back at him.
For some reason, Li Phou felt that he saw "guilt" in its eyes.
Bai Gaoxing felt very guilty.
In the previous verbal fight, he not only made bird-like noises, but also added some human words in the middle because he felt it was not enough.
I don't know how much this person heard...
Bai Gaoxing hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to be busy. As long as he pretended to be busy enough, the problem could not catch up with him.
Li Pu didn't know what his pet was thinking. He just found it funny that it turned on the sweeping robot. He pressed the power off button on it and asked, "Are you feeling that the house is too dirty to bear?"
There was no response. Of course, he didn't seek any response. After all, Dabai was just a parrot.
The sweeping robot returned along the same route, and Bai Gaoxing's eyes followed it all the way until it got stuck back on the charging pole.
Li Pu also stood up and went back to the door, carrying the bag into the kitchen.
Bai Gaoxing shook his head and went back to the cage to have a bite of rice.
In the kitchen, Li Pu slowly stopped washing vegetables. He recalled the voices he heard when he entered the room. After hesitating for a while, he called his childhood friend.
"I was just about to call you, and you called me, what a coincidence." The other side teased, "How is Dabai? Is he still alive?"
“Live well.”
"That's fine. I was afraid you would just ignore it and kill it. It seems you still have a sense of responsibility."
Li Pu sighed, "I'm really worried that you shouldn't have sent it."
"The effect is quite good, isn't it?" The other side smiled, "Okay, what do you want from me?"
"I remember you said that Dabai is good at talking?"
Before getting Dabai, Wang Peter praised Dabai's language ability.
"Yes, this species of parrot has one of the best language skills and can even have a few conversations. Look it up if you don't believe me."
"Have you ever heard it speak?"
"Well..." The person on the other end of the phone paused, "I haven't heard it speak in the two days since I got it. It's a little afraid of people. But I heard from people in the shelter that they can occasionally hear it speak a few words."
"..." Li Pu frowned in thought.
Wang Peter asked: "Why, did it talk to you?"
Li Piao: “Yeah.”
Wang Peter was curious: "What did it say?"
Li Pu: “…said a lot.” They were all words that were difficult to say directly. It seemed that Dabai’s previous owner had a rather bad temper.
Wang Peter said: "That's good, it means Dabai is very close to you, you can play with it more if you have nothing to do - OK, I have work to do now, so I'll hang up first, bye!"
Hearing the busy tone, Li Pu was stunned for a while before slowly putting down the phone.
The sound of flapping wings came from behind him. He turned his head and saw a big white parrot walking towards him stealthily, looking like a big plush ball.
Seeing him, the parrot seemed very excited, and an amazing word came out of its mouth very naturally.
"Owner."
"Is dinner ready?"
