Chapter 91
On the way down the mountain, Xiao Zhao kept talking.
But as she was talking, she felt something was wrong. She turned her head and looked at the passenger seat. It seemed that the director didn't listen to her at all? "Director?" Xiao Zhao couldn't help but call out, a little sourly: "You just focused on watching the parrot and ignored me."
Mu Ling was indeed watching the parrot at this time. The little parrot stood on the operating table, walking back and forth, with a pair of black eyes.
Mu Ling said helplessly: "Sorry, sorry, what did you say just now?"
Xiao Zhao said: "I mean, we can teach our own parrots to talk more, so that when we welcome guests in the future, they can have an extra talent."
They don't want to force the animals, so they have never trained the animals, and let the animals grow freely.
But the parrot can be trained. It's so cool to be able to talk. Look at this Cuicui. The first time they met, she already charmed the headmaster! The charmed
Mu Ling: "..."
When Mu Ling thought of the parrot talking, Cuicui's two goodbyes flashed through her mind. She immediately shook her head and said firmly: "No, don't teach it! It's better to talk less!"
The child has no control over his mouth. He really says everything.
Xiao Zhao: "?"
At this time, their car also drove into the shuttle lane.
Further ahead, you can see many other shuttle buses. Mu Ling was about to remind Xiao Zhao to drive to the side and not to take the tourists' lane, but she saw the cyan parrot standing on the operating table suddenly spread its wings and flew out of the open window!
"Hey!" Mu Ling shouted and looked outside.
She saw Cuicui flying forward towards one of the shuttle buses parked on the side of the road.
Mu Ling's face suddenly turned ugly. Her first reaction was, there wouldn't be any monsters on that bus, right? She urged Xiao Zhao quickly: "Drive over and take a look!"
Xiao Zhao hurriedly drove the car over there. After the car stopped, Mu Ling got out immediately. As soon as she went over, she heard an anxious scolding voice: "Cuicui! Where have you been! Why are you flying around! You scared me to death! Let me see if you are injured?"
In the shuttle bus, the tour guide and the driver were sweating profusely. They had never encountered such a thing. It was clearly said that the parrot was a war bird. Logically speaking, war birds are first-class in obedience and discipline. How could it fly away like that? They chased the parrot all the way forward. When they saw that it was about to go out of the driveway, the car stopped. They were just about to contact the staff of the park, but the parrot flew back by itself.
The tour guide said helplessly: "Old man, you should tie a chain to its feet next time. It's too dangerous."
Parrots are not birds of prey. If they were beasts or birds of prey, even war beasts, they would need to be restrained throughout the trip. But because parrots are not birds of prey, they were neglected.
Principal Guo was also in a dilemma. He apologized to the tour guide first, and then asked the teachers and students behind him: "Did anyone bring a rope? A thin rope will do."
A female student said: "I brought a hair rope."
The student took out a pink rope from her bag.
Principal Guo thanked him quickly, and then tied one end of the rope around Cuicui's ankle and neck, and tied the other end around his wrist.
An old professor said at this time: "It is probably this forest environment that makes Cuicui yearn for wildness. It's okay, just come back."
The little episode ended, and the driver returned to the driver's seat and planned to start the car again.
As a result, he looked up and was suddenly stunned: "Director Mu?"
The driver's voice was not small, and the other people in the car also heard it. Everyone looked forward in confusion, and saw a young girl wearing a Bic Zoo work uniform standing outside a car window in front.
Principal Guo and the teachers had not recognized her yet, but the students who loved to browse the Star Network had already recognized her. One student immediately said: "That's Director Mu of Bic Zoo! She is the one who took the video!"
Everyone suddenly realized, and Principal Guo looked at Director Mu again.
At this time, Director Mu also walked into the car.
Mu Ling stood at the door, holding the handrail by the door, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am the director of the Bick Zoo, my last name is Mu. Just now this little parrot suddenly flew to our place, and we thought it flew in from outside the zoo. It turned out to be the pet of this old gentleman." "
Cuicui is not a pet!" A student suddenly said: "It is a retired war bird."
Mu Ling's eyes moved... It is indeed a war bird.
The tour guide next to him also quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, it is a war bird, we have seen the ID."
If it had not been verified that it was a war bird, he would not dare to let people bring strange animals into the mountains so carelessly. If it was injured by the animals in the zoo, they would be responsible in the future!
Mu Ling nodded: "So it's a war bird, no wonder it's so smart, I asked it what its name was, it said its name and its age, but it looks very lively, it really doesn't look like it's 45 years old."
Principal Guo tilted his head to glance at the blue parrot standing on his shoulder, and criticized in a low voice: "It's been less than half an hour, and you told it everything?"
Mu Ling heard it and laughed: "Blame me, blame me, blame me for asking too many questions. In fact, Cuicui didn't say much. Where did it serve, why did it retire, what level of war bird is it, I don't know."
Principal Guo looked at Mu Ling again. Principal Mu had a very good attitude and was very enthusiastic. Principal Guo originally thought that the video might have a filter, and the real person might not be such a humble and patient young person.
Unexpectedly, the real person was so friendly, so he didn't hide anything: "Cuicui is an A-level war beast. She used to serve on CY900 star. She retired three years ago...three years ago, and then I adopted her."
Mu Ling noticed that the old man paused when he said "three years ago". She frowned. If she adopted, then the original owner must be...
She wanted to continue asking, but looking at the people in the car, she finally said: "So that's the case. Then, I won't bother you for now. I wish you all a happy viewing. See you at the foot of the mountain later."
With that, Mu Ling waved to everyone and got off the car.
Seeing Mu Ling leave, the teachers and students in the car started talking again.
"This Director Mu seems to have a very nice personality."
"Of course, of course! The director is so sweet!"
The driver started the car, and soon the shuttle slowly disappeared in front of Mu Ling.
Mu Ling pursed her lips, turned around, and returned to the car.
Xiao Zhao saw her come back and asked hurriedly: "Director, are you okay?"
Mu Ling shook her head and told him that Cuicui was a war bird and was brought to the mountain by tourists.
Xiao Zhao laughed when he heard this: "Haha, Director, you really like war beasts? Other people's war beasts are also running to you."
I don't know if they are running to her...
Mu Ling smiled bitterly: "Fortunately there are no exotic beasts. It's a false alarm. Okay, let's go."
-Two
thirty in the afternoon.
Because it was a custom-made car that was paid for, the three shuttle buses of Amuro Beast Military Academy returned to the service area in advance.
When Principal Guo and others got off the car, they saw that some tourists had already got off the service area in advance and were waiting outside the animal dormitory and the war beast nursery.
Principal Guo put Cuicui back into his pocket, and then said to the teachers and students behind him: "Now everyone is free to move around, see you at the gate at six o'clock."
After that, the sixty people dispersed one after another, some went to the restaurant to buy things, some went to the toilet, and some went to the animal dormitory and the war beast nursery.
After a while, at 2:57, the tourists suddenly started to make a commotion.
Principal Guo, who was also waiting outside the animal dormitory, looked over there and saw that it was the director Mu who had met before walking over.
"Director!"
"Director, look here!"
Someone in the crowd
raised his hand and shouted. Mu Ling looked over there, then waved to the tourists and said hello.
The crowd immediately became more excited, and amid the noise, Mu Ling also pushed open the glass door and walked into the animal dormitory.
The next second, the solid-colored glass of the animal dormitory instantly became transparent, and the scene inside became visible.
"It's open!"
"Ahhh, I can finally see my babies in person!"
"Look, Lightning is on the cat climbing frame again!"
"Lightning baby climbed so high! Where's Tayun? Why can't I see Tayun!"
"Tayun is drinking water!"
"Look, Moonlight went to the soft cushion today. It used to sleep in the corner, but today it slept with Qilin. Is it because of that friendly duck neck?"
"What's that in Moonlight's arms? Wow, it's flames!"
"Where's the little wolf? Hahahaha, why is the little wolf on Dingtian's back!"
"Is Dingtian sleeping? Why is it curled up like a mosquito coil!"
"This is how giraffes sleep!"
"Why did King Kong go to the magic? Oh, you think Moonlight is too small to stop it, right? If he hides behind the magic, Pi-mi can't find him, and can't take him to the physical education class, right? Woohoo, our King Kong is so smart!"
Every tourist has his favorite war beast. Everyone cheered and screamed for their favorite war beasts. Principal Guo couldn't help but protect his pockets, fearing that such a big noise would scare Cuicui.
When Principal Guo was hesitating whether to go to the war beast nursery first, he heard a louder shout from behind.
"Ahhhh, panda! It's a panda! Super super super cute panda!"
"No no, this is Snow Bear, a real brother from the same village as the panda!"
"Oh my God, is this a Nine-needle Pig? In the Suidae family, only the Nine-needle Pig can be used as a war beast. The Nine-needle Pig is the white moonlight in the eyes of pig fans!"
"Huh, are only two glass houses open? Aren't the others open?"
"Ahhh, look, Snow Bear is at the door, can it see me?"
Principal Guo usually watches videos, he really didn't know that the atmosphere on the scene would be so lively.
Feeling that Cuicui seemed to be a little uncomfortable, Principal Guo quickly grabbed Cuicui and let it stand on his shoulder, then walked to a less crowded place.
Just as he passed by, he heard someone behind him calling him: "Old man."
Principal Guo looked back and saw that it was the young Principal Mu.
Principal Guo smiled and said: "Principal Mu, why are you here? Don't let anyone see you."
When Principal Mu walked by just now, the tourists were very enthusiastic. If she comes over now, will it cause a commotion again?
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Everyone is just shouting for fun. Now that War Beast is here, no one cares about me. I just passed by and saw Cuicui seemed a little nervous. Should I give her some water?"
Principal Guo also touched the blue parrot that was sticking close to his ear with concern, and said, "Maybe there are too many people."
Mu Ling said, "Drink some nutritious water. Come with me to the veterinary station to get some."
Principal Guo originally wanted to go to the supermarket to buy mineral water, but when he heard about nutritious water, he hesitated and said, "That's a trouble."
The dean of studies and two other male teachers who were originally walking with the principal did not follow him and continued to visit War Beast.
There was no one in the veterinary station at the moment. Professor Sun usually didn't stay in the veterinary station. She had her own office, where many of her special laboratory instruments were placed. Dr. Bray was busy paying attention to the pregnancy life of the three female wind-chasing wolves recently, and occasionally went into the mountains to take a look.
Mu Ling asked the old man to sit down, and then went to pour him a glass of nutrient water.
Principal Guo grabbed Cuicui and put it on his knees, letting it drink water slowly.
While Cuicui was drinking water, Mu Ling sat on the chair opposite her and said with a smile: "I didn't know that parrots could be war birds before. I thought war birds were very lethal birds, such as falcons."
Principal Guo knew that she was talking about Tayun. He was used to being a teacher and was used to answering all the questions from students, so he explained: "The falcon is naturally a very good offensive war bird, but among the reconnaissance war birds, the most powerful one is the pure-winged one. Parrots, pure-winged parrots are different from ordinary parrots. Ordinary parrots have a medium flying speed, poor eyesight, and average sense of smell, but pure-winged parrots are an evolved species of parrots. They have accurate eyesight, strong memory, keen sense of smell, and excellent language organization ability. In the entire military, pure-winged parrots are very popular. Before Cuicui retired, she was sought after by commanders of several planets. Because she was so popular, her owner was always transferred here..."
Principal Guo paused here and didn't plan to say anything more. He looked down at Cuicui and saw that she seemed to have finished drinking. He handed the water bowl to Mu Ling and said, "Sorry to bother you. We'll leave first."
Mu Ling actually wanted to ask more, but the other party obviously didn't want to talk anymore, so she could only send her out first.
As a result, just after leaving the veterinary station, Cuicui, who had regained her spirit, suddenly spread her wings and flew in one direction.
It just flew twice and the rope pulled it back.
"Ouch!" Mu Ling was startled and quickly reached out to hold the parrot that was about to fall.
Principal Guo was also startled and hugged Cuicui: "What are you doing again, ancestor!"
Mu Ling suddenly thought of something, turned her head quickly, looked around, and saw that Brother Xiang and Brother Wei did not show up, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Cuicui stood crookedly in her owner's hand, and then she seemed to know that it was the rope that harmed her, so she lowered her head and tugged at the rope on her feet twice, then raised her head, looked in the direction of the War Beast Nursery, and said, "Hello, Swallow."
Principal Guo: "?"
Mu Ling: "..."
"What are you talking about? What do you want to swallow? Are you hungry again?" Principal Guo was puzzled, but was afraid that the child would be wronged, so he said helplessly in the end, "Okay, okay, eat two more melon seeds. You can only eat two. You've gained weight recently." As Principal Guo
spoke, he took out two melon seeds and fed them to the little parrot.
Seeing the little parrot start to crack melon seeds with its head down, Principal Guo said to Mu Ling: "Thank you for the nutrient water. We'll be leaving first."
The little parrot immediately looked up and said: "Goodbye, Mu Ling."
Mu Ling: "..."
Principal Guo: "..."
Principal Guo didn't know where Cuicui heard the director's name. He thought it was quite presumptuous and hurriedly took Cuicui away.
Until the old man walked away, Mu Ling pursed her lips, suddenly took out the walkie-talkie and asked: "Uncle Li, was the glass house that Swallowed just opened?"
A response came from the other end soon, but the person who responded was not Li Yan, but Swallow's keeper: "Is it the director? Uncle Li just went in to bring afternoon tea to Swallowed."
After turning off the intercom, Mu Ling pursed her lips, turned on the optical computer, and dialed the number of Swallow's owner, Lieutenant Xin.
-At
six o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Li and Xiang Bie were sitting in the back seat of the patrol car going down the mountain. Wei Li saw that Brother Xiang was still stable, but he had already panicked. He lowered his voice in annoyance and said, "Brother Xiang, why didn't you cover my mouth when I coughed? The director heard it!"
Xiang Bie was originally dozing with his eyes closed. He looked up and saw that Zhao Fang was driving, and his colleague in the passenger seat had fallen asleep.
Xiang Bie turned on his computer and replied in text: [Should I cover your mouth?]
Wei Li: "..."
Yes, it was Cuicui's mouth that should be covered!
Wei Li also typed: [How does Cuicui know me? The director shouldn't really believe it, right? This sounds fake. Oh, I should have explained it at the time! I said that it must be that Cuicui heard it from its owner, and it learned it randomly! 】Xiang
Bie: [Don't be nervous.]
Wei Li: [How can I not be nervous? The director must know!]
Xiang Bie comforted him: [Based on my understanding of her, she will pretend not to know.]
Wei Li: [……]
An hour later, in the service area.
Wei Li got off the car and quietly looked inside the veterinary station.
Doctor Bree happened to come out at this time. Seeing him sneaking around, he asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Wei Li whispered: "Is the director in there?"
"No."
Wei Li breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Doctor Bree to ask: "Where is the bird, where is the parrot?"
"What parrot?" Doctor Bree was confused.
Seeing that he didn't know, Wei Li became suspicious again. Didn't the director bring Cuicui down? Could it be that Cuicui flew away again later?
Wei Li pondered for a while and asked again: "How do you think the director is feeling today?"
Doctor Bree didn't know what Wei Li wanted to ask, and frowned and said: "Isn't the mood the same as usual? What are you doing? You won't cause trouble, right?"
Wei Li waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no."
Seeing that Doctor Bree couldn't get any information here, he wanted to go find Xiao Zhao.
As a result, when he turned around and went out, he saw the director just walking over.
Wei Li turned around and ran directly from the other side!
Mu Ling brought Tayun in to do a damage value test. She looked at Wei Ge's back as he ran away and asked, "What happened to Wei Ge?"
Doctor Bree shrugged, "Who knows? It's weird."
Mu Ling glanced over there again, then retracted her gaze and walked in.
After the test was completed, she sent Tayun back to the animal dormitory. As soon as she entered, she saw Xiang Ge feeding Mo Fa grass.
Mu Ling paused, then pretended to greet him naturally: "Brother Xiang."
Xiang Bie looked back at her, as if observing her expression, and then said: "Xiao Zhao said that Cuicui was brought here by tourists?"
Mu Ling raised her hand and let Tayun fly, smiling and said: "Yes, I later found out that Director Wang asked us to buy a few extra group tickets and individual tickets. It turned out that they were bought for Cuicui's owner. The old gentleman is the principal of Amuro Xingyu Beast Military Academy. He brought teachers and students to team building. This old gentleman is really not telling me. If Director Wang hadn't just called me, I wouldn't know it."
Xiang Bie frowned, as if he was thinking, when did he meet the principal of Amuro Xingyu Beast Military Academy.
If he hadn't met him, how could Cuicui know him?
Mu Ling noticed the expression on Brother Xiang's face. She pursed her lips and smiled, "By the way, Cuicui was adopted by Principal Guo. It was the kind of adoption that a war beast normally retires from. Hey, I should ask him about the adoption process. Won't it be useful when we apply for adoption and loyalty later?"
Adopt?
Xiang Bie frowned.
So its original owner has passed away?
Mu Ling added, "Cuicui has been retired for three years, but you can see that other war beasts that are normally retired are healthy and smooth. Unlike these in our family, each of them has escaped death, right? Magic."
Xiang Bie was stunned.
Three years...
The red elephant that was eating grass heard Mu Ling calling it, it made a "ang" sound from its mouth, turned around and sucked Mu Ling's hair with its nose.
Mu Ling smiled and pushed its nose away, then looked at Xiang Ge's expression, and said, "By the way, after Cuicui went down the mountain, she also saw Swallow. Let me tell you, it's such a coincidence. Swallow and Cuicui have served together, and Cuicui recognized Swallow at the first sniff. She is worthy of being a scout. Her sharpness is amazing."
Xiang Bie handed the fodder to Mo Fa while glancing at Mu Ling, and then said, "Got it. I'll pay attention."
Mu Ling: "..."
Mu Ling blinked in confusion, very puzzled: "Pay attention to what?"
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie lowered his eyes, not knowing why, when she had been so cooperative, so friendly, and took the initiative to reveal the known information to him in the least offensive way.
But why did he feel uncomfortable in his heart...
"Mu Ling." Xiang Bie paused for a few seconds, and suddenly said impulsively: "Ask me something."
Mu Ling: "..."
Xiang Bie raised his eyes. His dark eyes were deep. He just looked at her closely and his voice became softer: "Ask what you want to know, okay?"
Mu Ling: "..."
The atmosphere in the animal dormitory suddenly became strange, until Mo Fa poked Xiang Bie's shoulder with his soft nose in dissatisfaction, signaling him to hurry up. Xiang Bie then looked away and grabbed another handful of grass to feed him.
Mu Ling already understood what Brother Xiang meant. Brother Xiang wanted to confess to her.
She hesitated for a moment, and then really spoke: "Actually, I do have a question for you."
Xiang Bie immediately looked at her, his eyes bright: "You ask."
Mu Ling looked at him and said: "Are you a legal expert?"
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie: "?"
No wonder Mu Ling asked that. You are a marshal. How many marshals are there in the federation? Isn't there only one? They are about the same age. The other disappeared three years ago. Your employment file says that you came to Piccolo Zoo two years ago. Plus, Cuicui registered you under your real name. You are pretty cool too. You changed your first name but not your last name...
Cuicui and Swallow were both in Abyss Star three years ago. She has confirmed this with Lieutenant Xin, and Lieutenant Xin said that Swallow was injured and retired in the Abyss Star battle. There was indeed a pure-winged parrot in the Abyss Star Beast Guard at that time. That parrot was from the reconnaissance team and had helped her find the missing Swallow.
You were also in Yuanhaixing at that time. You can find it by searching your old news. There was a news report three years ago that the Capital Army went to Yuanhaixing. Although there was no photo of you, the news mentioned that you were the strategic commander.
So you, Cuicui and Swallow were actually comrades-in-arms. You all went to Yuanhaixing. You didn't recognize them, but they didn't forget you.
So why did you disappear after that battle
? Aren't you a marshal? What are you hiding from?
I don't want to get involved in what you are hiding from, but I'm afraid you are a legal person. What if you have committed a military crime and are on the run? If you are caught, then I will be charged with the crime of harboring someone... I don't
care about it myself, but who will take care of the animals in the park?
Mu Ling scratched her face, her expression was a little embarrassed, she muttered in a low voice: "You asked me to ask..."
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie stared at her solemnly.
Mu Ling made him feel guilty, and hurriedly pretended to be busy and used his fingers to pick the outer skin of the magic. Xiang Bie took
a deep breath, and after a while, he said: "No."
He gritted his teeth: "I'm not a legal person!"
