-Bad guy!
-Big bad guy! No, it's the little bad guy!
-I knew that bipeds were not good people!
-Bite him!
-No, no, bipeds are very ferocious. If you get caught, you will be eaten. You can’t get close to them!
This development trend is wrong! Jing Ling had a bad feeling. "I think we need a roof over our heads," he said.
Big Mouth and Watermelon originally thought that he was unreliable, and now they looked at him with an expression that said "you are sick". Jing Ling was not angry, but he was not prepared to explain. Young people will learn their lesson after suffering a little loss. He turned his head to look at Song Xiuyuan beside him, "Can you help me?" The latter happened to be looking at him, and he raised his eyebrows and nodded. Then he came to Jing Ling with his long legs, took off his long coat swiftly, flipped it over the collar, and put it directly over their heads.
Big Mouth: "...Fucking retard!"
Xigua next to him kicked him, but did not refute what he said.
Birds are chirping overhead, one, two, three... When the number exceeds a certain limit, the originally clear and pleasant sounds will become as harsh as devilish sounds.
-I’m so angry, so angry, so angry. I just want to bite him!
-I figured it out, shit stinks him!
-This is good!
-agree!
"Here I come." Jing Ling said.
"What..." Big Mouth wanted to ask subconsciously, but before he could finish his words, something suddenly fell on his head and a hot and humid feeling spread. And this was just the beginning. There was a dense flapping sound overhead. Countless birds flew out from the lush branches and leaves, flapping their wings and circling above their heads, accompanied by chirping sounds. Countless biological weapons fell from the sky, covering almost every place on their bodies that could land.
In just a few seconds, Big Mouth and Watermelon were both covered with a layer of bird droppings that was still steaming. The stench rushed into my nostrils.
Although Jing Ling and Song Xiuyuan were well prepared, it was still a bit difficult for one windbreaker to cover two grown men, and some of it inevitably fell off their bodies. Bird droppings landed on the windbreaker covering his head, making a popping sound. It gives people a sense of pressure for no reason.
When Big Mouth reacted, he was so angry that he started cursing and took out the weapon he was carrying and was ready to attack.
"Don't hurt them!" Jing Ling's hands were inconvenient, so he raised his leg and kicked them right in the wrist. The weapon instantly slipped out of his hand and flew into the grass next to him, making a slight sound.
Da Zui was already angry, and now Jing Ling's sneak attack knocked his weapon away, which was like adding fuel to the fire, directly igniting his violent temper. He didn't care whether you were injured or not, and started to attack you.
"Damn it, are you sick?" he cursed at the same time.
"Sorry. We'll need their help later, so you can't hurt them." Jing Ling just kept defending himself with his head hidden under his windbreaker. With injuries and limited movements, he was inevitably at a disadvantage.
The rain of bird shit bombs stopped. The circle of birds circling overhead that made one's scalp tingle also flew back to the branches and treetops, chirping and starting a new round of communication.
-Oops, the Twolegs are quarreling!
-The fight has started! The fight has started!
-I saw it! That man is holding something horrible! The big bear was killed by this thing!
-The big bad guy stopped him!
-It seems that the big bad guy is not that bad after all!
Big Mouth has a bad temper, while Watermelon is a calm type, and the two complement each other perfectly. Xigua quickly stopped Dazui, "Don't be impulsive, Dazui. Have you forgotten what your superiors told you when you came here?"
Before coming from the imperial capital, they were told by their superiors that they had to follow the other party's arrangements in this operation and did not need to worry about finding people. Their task was to capture the target after finding him and bring him back. Obeying orders is a soldier's duty. Big Mouth calmed down instantly after hearing this. Although he stopped his hand movements, he was still unwilling to accept it. He stiffened his neck, said sorry stiffly, turned his head and bent down to look for his weapon in the bushes.
"That's just how Big Mouth is..." Xigua explained.
Jing Ling interrupted him, "It's okay. I know there is a river ahead. I'll take you there later." After saying that, he turned around and thanked Song Xiuyuan. The latter shook his head and said, "No need." As he spoke, he threw his windbreaker into the bushes next to him with a look of disgust.
Jing Ling looked up at the sky. The trees in this area are already very dense, with branches stretching and intertwining, and the leaves are lush and dense. The sunlight shines through the gaps and turns into beams of light, with tiny dust particles visible to the naked eye floating in between. There were few birds in sight, but he knew they were there.
"My dears, are you relieved now? Can you help me find someone? After that, I will build a small house for you on the tree to protect you from the wind and rain. How about that?"
-Hey, this biped can really speak bird language!
- You actually called me little darling (ω)
-He looks a little bit taller than other bipeds!
-The one next to it looks good too!
-Little house, little house! I want a tiny house! I've lived there before and it was great!
Jing Ling never thought that the thoughts of these little creatures could be so jumpy. Not only were they shy and would comment on people's appearance, but in the end they even started to explore the life of humans, not birds, what kind of food they eat, what kind of houses they live in, where is the best place to live, and so on. It's simply breathtaking.
"What do they say?" Song Xiuyuan suddenly asked.
"We haven't come to a conclusion yet." Jing Ling shrugged. Song Xiuyuan would ask this question because he was actually mentally prepared. After all, he had long guessed whether the other party was a member of the Dongfang Song family, and now he could confirm this guess. Although the five major families each occupied their own territory, they had never lost contact with each other.
As for Big Mouth and Watermelon, they were probably silent because they had just suffered a loss.
Jing Ling didn't rush him. He just picked a tree root exposed on the ground outside the range where the bird droppings bomb fell and sat down, waiting for the little guys on the tree to discuss a result. But later he realized that they had strayed too far from the topic, so he spoke up to bring the subject back.
We waited for about twenty minutes, during which time the chirping sound never stopped and was rhythmic, just like people talking.
"They agreed." Just when Big Mouth and Watermelon could no longer bear the pungent smell, Jing Ling finally spoke. "Did you bring the photos?" he asked the other three.
Song Xiuyuan handed him a photo almost as soon as he finished speaking. Although they are called photos, they are actually screenshots from surveillance video, in black and white and a little blurry. The suspect was circled in red, but it was just a figure and it was impossible to tell what it looked like. It would be difficult even for ordinary people to identify it, let alone a bird.
"Just describe it directly." Jing Ling gave up the photos that had no reference value and asked directly.
"The suspect is a male, around 40 years old, between 1.7 and 1.8 meters tall. On the day of the crime, he was wearing grey casual clothes..." Song Xiuyuan recited it like he was reciting a book.
Jing Ling picked out some useful information and relayed it to the birds in the forest.
"Okay, go find it. I'll wait for you by the stream." Jing Ling said.
In the endless dense forest, if you want to find a person, besides luck, the best helper is undoubtedly birds. They are found everywhere in the forest, in various species and numbers, and will not alert their targets at all.
The sound of flapping wings was even more frequent than before. The birds flew out from the woods collectively, circled overhead for a while, then flew downwards, circled around Jing Ling, and then flew away in all directions. During this time, a few of them playfully landed on his head and shoulders, and the others followed suit. So when all the birds had flown away, the hair that Shen Ze had carefully groomed for him had turned into a veritable bird's nest.
Big Mouth and Watermelon laughed unkindly. Even Song Xiuyuan, who always had a cold and expressionless face, softened a lot. It takes some time to wait for the results. You can't keep wearing clothes covered in bird droppings. Even if Dazui and the others can endure it, Jing Ling doesn't want to insist, because it is a torture for people with a keen sense of smell.
The group set out for the stream.
There was no ready-made road in the forest, so they had to open it manually. By the time they reached the stream, almost half an hour had passed. Seeing the flowing stream, Watermelon and Big Mouth jumped in without a care, submerged their entire bodies, and let the flowing stream water wash away the bird droppings on their clothes. The two men stayed under the water for more than a minute before they surfaced. Then they took off their clothes and stood shirtless in the waist-deep water, rubbing their hands roughly and their thick eyebrows furrowed as if they could pinch a fly to death.
The birds were more efficient than Jing Ling had expected. Not long after Dazui and Xigua finished washing the clothes and hung them on the rocks on the shore to dry, a few birds flapped their wings and flew back, landing directly on Jing Ling's shoulders, chirping.
"Found it?" Big Mouth and Watermelon came over with their bare chests and asked in unison.
Song Xiuyuan also looked over. Jing Ling exchanged a glance with him casually, and then shook his head, "No, they are going to look for it somewhere farther away."
The two were a little disappointed when they heard this, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't just go wander around in the woods by themselves, so they could only continue to wait. And this wait lasted until evening. When the sun is out during the day, the temperature in the forest is relatively good, but it starts to drop in the evening.
We are going to spend the night in the woods.
The group found a cave nearby, which was spacious and relatively dry. Big Mouth went outside and picked up some firewood. He dug a hole in the ground and stuffed a handful of dead leaves into the hole. He placed the dry firewood directly on top and lit a lighter, and flames jumped up.
The warm firelight lit up the entire cave.
After eating a little and chatting for a while, I got ready for bed. Just in case, the four people were divided into two groups to keep watch, Jing Ling and Song Xiuyuan in the first half of the night, and Dazui Xigua in the second half. They fell asleep first, and when they got up to change shifts, they found that the two people who were originally sitting at the entrance of the cave were gone. I searched around hoping for a lucky break, but as expected, I didn't find anyone. Instead, I saw a piece of paper pressed by a stone, with a sentence written on it with charcoal - I'm going to have a night out in the woods, I'll be back soon, don't worry me.
"Fuck swimming! I knew these two were bad people! They are in cahoots with each other!" After reading the paper, Big Mouth crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the fire.
