Not only on the second day, but also on the third, fourth, fifth and so on, for six consecutive days, heavy rain began to fall every night.
Xu Qiaoqiao simply couldn't find an opportunity to put her ideas into practice.
I'm so angry!
Moreover, due to several days of continuous rainfall, the forest became extremely damp, the soil turned into silt, and the water level in some places rose significantly.
Xu Qiaoqiao felt a great flood was coming. Looking at the rapidly rising river in the distance, she thought, "If the rain continues to fall in the next few nights, it won't just feel like it, it'll definitely happen."
Moreover, due to the continuous nighttime rain, Jun Qi changed some of his own routines. He would wake up before dark every day and take Xu Qiaoqiao down to find food.
They almost always searched in areas inhabited by humans.
As dusk fell, it was time for dinner.
Looking at the light shining from the window of the house, it was dim and indistinct, and I guessed it was the light of candles.
Jun Qi landed in front of the chicken coop with Xu Qiaoqiao without making a sound. Even the sleeping chickens didn't notice that two unfamiliar presences had entered their territory.
So they were just going into the chicken coop. I thought they were stealing something. Xu Qiaoqiao patted her cheeks. After all, she had never been a thief before, and stealing was wrong.
No, stealing chickens is still stealing, isn't it?
Xu Qiaoqiao: ...
Xu Qiaoqiao recognized the family that Jun Qi brought her to, but couldn't recall their name.
The chicken coop was quite large, housing about twenty chickens, presumably for their livelihood.
Jun Qi certainly didn't know what his actions meant, but he cleverly refrained from making any other noises, not even a cooing sound.
Xu Qiaoqiao tugged at Jun Qi's long feathers, looking very conflicted. She kept glancing at the figure reflected on the window paper of the room, afraid that someone would discover her and Jun Qi's actions.
However, Jun Qi did not understand Xu Qiaoqiao's intentions at all. He boldly walked towards the chicken coop without stopping. He found a large gap in the shelf next to the chicken coop and squeezed himself in.
Xu Qiaoqiao was completely stunned by Jun Qi's efficient movements.
Is this really a good idea?
As temperatures rose steadily, the stench accumulated in the chicken coop became very strong, which is why Jun Qi's excellent sense of smell could detect it from thousands of miles away. However, this smell was not pleasant for Xu Qiaoqiao, who had once been a human.
After the owl squeezed in, it realized that Xu Qiaoqiao hadn't followed, so it went out again and wagged its big wing at Xu Qiaoqiao. When Xu Qiaoqiao saw Jun Qi's eyes, they seemed to be saying: What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get to eat. What's so scary about those two-legged beasts?
Waaaaah! Junjun, you're so naive. You have no idea how amazing humans are.
"..."
Xu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a few seconds, unable to take the step. She really never thought that she would become a chicken thief one day.
Jun Qi was still leaning against the wooden plank, looking at Xu Qiaoqiao, as if waiting for her to come over.
Hearing voices inside the house, they seemed to be getting ready for bed. Just as the candlelight went out, Jun Qi suddenly whispered something to Xu Qiaoqiao.
It feels like there are no other options.
The humans in the house were all asleep, which emboldened the little hedgehog considerably. Under the owl's watchful eye, it tiptoed toward him, its short legs moving with incredible speed.
The short grass next to the chicken coop was easy to traverse, and Xu Qiaoqiao was also feeling guilty, so she quickly reached Jun Qi's side.
The gap was so narrow that Jun Qi had to retract his feathers to get in, but for Xu Qiaoqiao, it was just the right size for her to squeeze in sideways, except that her lower abdomen got a little stuck.
After following Jun Qi inside, Xu Qiaoqiao secretly followed behind him, making Jun Qi feel like the host.
The coop isn't entirely filled with chickens. This family raises so many chickens, probably for their eggs. Egg production is quite important for meeting the needs of farmers and their families.
Normally, they would be very vigilant, but they certainly didn't expect that even in such terrible weather, two thieves would be targeting their chickens and eggs.
After Jun Qi went inside, he found a secluded spot to hide, seemingly waiting for his prey to arrive. This made Xu Qiaoqiao a little confused; wasn't he here to steal chickens?
Not understanding Jun Qi's meaning, Xu Qiaoqiao simply stopped thinking about it. She staggered forward and, perhaps due to good luck, bumped into a broken egg. The fishy smell immediately attracted Xu Qiaoqiao.
Wow, it's an egg!
She hadn't enjoyed eggs in a long time. Xu Qiaoqiao swallowed the drool that was about to spill out, then immediately leaned in and ate with gusto.
Moreover, the eggs she ate were already broken, so they were useless anyway, which reassured Xu Qiaoqiao a lot.
After finishing one egg, Xu Qiaoqiao still wasn't satisfied and went to find other broken eggs. Obviously, since there were more than just chickens here, there were quite a few broken eggs, which made the little hedgehog very satisfied.
Xu Qiaoqiao patted her belly, which had grown even bigger, and felt very satisfied. Now that she was full, it was time to find Jun Qi and go back together.
Following Jun Qi's scent, Xu Qiaoqiao walked over and found Jun Qi's figure with his back to her, and there were several chirping sounds coming from there. These sounds were somewhat familiar to Xu Qiaoqiao.
Isn't that a rat?
Xu Qiaoqiao immediately ran over. It turned out that Jun Qi was eating a mouse. The sound of the mouse quickly disappeared because it had been swallowed whole by the owl.
Jun Qi naturally sensed Xu Qiaoqiao's presence as well, and figured the little hedgehog must have eaten its fill.
"Chirp chirp chirp".
Xu Qiaoqiao nudged Jun Qi's paw with her head and barked at him a few times. Jun Qi clearly understood what Xu Qiaoqiao meant and replied with a coo.
Needless to say, the little hedgehog and the owl walked towards the crack in perfect unison. After the hedgehog crawled out, the owl followed closely behind, and they moved quietly throughout.
The timing was perfect; just as they flew to their nest, a sudden downpour began. Xu Qiaoqiao quickly followed Jun Qi and ran towards it, her movements incredibly swift.
They have clearly adapted to this lifestyle.
As for today's plan to vandalize the Bird's Nest, let's put that aside for now.
Xu Qiaoqiao comforted herself, thinking that since it had been raining for the past few days and she couldn't feel the heat at all, she could put the matter aside for now.
In reality, a major accident occurred later, forcing Xu Qiaoqiao to terminate the plan, and she also genuinely fell in love with the little nest.
