Thanks to Junqi's persistent training, Niannian finally learned to fly.
However, it flew very ugly, crookedly, like it was dancing.
Jun Qi watched Nian Nian fly from behind, and a wave of embarrassment washed over him as he watched the cub's crooked and awkward flight. He simply couldn't believe that the way this cub flew was the result of his teaching over the past few days.
"Coo coo".
This is such a hassle.
Jun Qi had thought that once he taught the cub to fly, he could relax and let it find its own food. But looking at it like this, Jun Qi was really afraid that it would end up in the belly of some large animal at any moment.
So even though he learned to fly every year, Jun Qi didn't let his guard down. Every time the other went out, he would follow behind him to prevent any accidents from happening, so that he could save him.
This year's snowfall was heavy, heavier than in previous years. The thick snow covered the ground, obscuring all other colors; as far as the eye could see, all that could be seen was white.
The first snow of the year fell on the last day of the year, with heavy snow falling unexpectedly. This was the little guy's first time seeing snow.
Excited, he didn't sleep during the day. Standing at the cave entrance, his big eyes looked at the snow-white earth. It was the first time he had ever seen snow, and he was incredibly curious.
"Coo coo".
He turned his head and glanced at Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao. Jun Qi was still asleep, and Xu Qiaoqiao was curled up in his arms, motionless, with the white thorns on her body somewhat stained with mud.
It's cold when it snows, but that's no problem at all for owls who are born wearing a down jacket.
Food supplies dwindled as soon as the weather turned cold, and now with this heavy snowfall, the food shortage has become even more pronounced.
So Jun Qi decided to do the same thing, taking the little guy to the human-inhabited territory to get food.
Now, Nian Nian's size is already similar to Jun Qi's back then, with a height of about 15 centimeters, so at this time, he can eat other meats.
"Coo coo." Dad, where are we going?
After spending this time together, although Nian Nian was "tortured" by Jun Qi, either by being thrown off a cliff or into a pack of wolves, all to train him to fly.
But the little guy knew in his heart that this was for his own good. He could feel the kindness of the tall man in front of him—no, it was more like his father's kindness.
Jun Qi turned to look at Niannian. Seeing how she was flying crookedly, he fell silent for a moment. Moreover, the sound of her wings flapping was extremely loud. Was she afraid that others would not know that she had come?
However, by this time, those humans should already be asleep, and they are all sleeping very soundly, so the noise shouldn't wake them.
"Coo coo." Don't make a sound, just follow me in a bit.
"Coo coo." Okay.
In the quiet snowy night, two figures flew across the sky. The one in front looked much larger, but the one behind flew in a comical way, making a loud flapping sound with its wings.
If Xu Qiaoqiao heard this, she would definitely say, "It sounds just like an electric fan, whooshing and rattling. It doesn't sound like this owl is very powerful."
The heavy snow had covered everything, making it even more difficult for animals to find food. Therefore, the idea of coming to human territory to find food was not only something Jun Qi and his group had thought of.
So, the further east we flew, the more life we saw along the way. There were also some animal footprints on the ground and sparrow nests on the branches.
If we're talking about cleverness, these sparrows are the smartest. Their food comes almost entirely from humans, and no matter what difficulties they encounter, they always seek refuge with humans.
After flying for a while longer, Jun Qi followed the scent and found the chicken coop that he had visited with Xu Qiaoqiao before. He walked over according to his memory, and luckily, the hole had not been plugged yet.
Jun Qi turned to look at Niannian, then waved his wings at him. Niannian walked over quickly with a figure-eight gait.
This was his first time in this place, and his eyes were full of curiosity. The atmosphere here was completely unfamiliar to him, with all sorts of scents mixed together.
Seeing that the little guy was daydreaming, Jun Qi quickly slapped him: What are you spacing out for? Look over here right now.
"Coo coo".
Nian Nian blinked and quickly turned his attention back to Jun Qi, who then folded his feathers and disappeared into the hole.
Wow!
When the little guy saw Jun Qi crawling through the hole, especially in the world of shrinking feathers, his eyes immediately lit up. He stared at Jun Qi, wanting to know how he did it.
After Jun Qi crawled in, he crawled out again, pointed at the hole, and called out to Niannian: "Come here."
Upon hearing Jun Qi's call, Nian Nian rushed over with great interest, stood in front of the cave, took a few deep breaths, and then stuck her head in.
But... it got stuck.
Every year I find that I can't get past the back of my head. What's going on?
He poked his head out, looked at his body, and noticed that his feathers weren't compressed.
Jun Qi couldn't wait any longer, so before the little guy could figure it out, he released the aura of an adult owl and stared intently at Nian Nian.
"Coo coo!"
The owl's protective mechanism kicked in at this moment; its feathers instantly compressed and became thin.
Seeing this, Jun Qi unceremoniously stretched out his claws and kicked Niannian inside, then crawled in himself.
"Coo coo." Follow me.
It wasn't until Jun Qi calmed down that Nian Nian recovered. He looked listless, clearly having been frightened.
