Chapter 148 The Hungry Chick, the Golden Treasure Chest
Ji Xinghan stopped in her tracks; she seemed to understand the birdsong inside.
She wore a lily-of-the-valley hair clip and had noticed it during her two adventures. She had seen small insects, rabbits, snakes, and sheep in the grass, but those animals just liked to come over and rub against her; she couldn't understand what they meant at all.
She can understand very few animals.
Is that person inside screaming for help?
After thinking for a moment, Ji Xinghan decisively rushed in.
Following the sound for several steps, she found a very small bird in a pile of grass under a tree.
The little bird was dark black and even smaller than a sparrow. At that moment, it had its beak wide open and was making intermittent sounds: "Chirp chirp... Help!"
A fledgling bird?
Ji Xinghan couldn't recognize what kind of bird it was; he just thought it was ugly.
The little bird seemed to hear the sound, struggled a couple of times towards Ji Xinghan, and chirped desperately, "Chirp chirp..."
Ji Xinghan hesitated for a moment.
The little bird panicked, flapped its wings twice, and flew a meter away, stumbling to Ji Xinghan's feet. It chirped several times, "Chirp chirp, baby..."
Doraemon poked its head out of the backpack: "Meow?"
Its eyes lit up, it darted out, and snatched the little bird in its mouth.
The little bird cried out in fright, "Chirp, chirp, baby, baby, baby!"
Ji Xinghan quickly grabbed Dingdang by the back of its neck: "No, don't eat it!"
Cats love to eat small birds.
The little bird chirped and wouldn't let go, its jaws clutching the bird. Ji Xinghan quickly said, "I'll catch you some small fish, a goldfish, quick, let go!"
Doraemon rolled its eyes and relented: "Meow, I'm not a dog!"
Wearing the lily of the valley hair clip had one advantage: Ji Xinghan could occasionally guess what Xiao Dingdang was saying.
She held the little bird and observed it carefully.
This little guy is really ugly, is it a little sparrow?
Also, what is it that it keeps saying "Bao, Bao, Bao" for?
The little bird strained to open its beak: "Help...my baby!"
Ji Xinghan had a sudden inspiration: "You mean, you want me to save you, and you'll give me your treasure?"
The little bird flapped its wings and chirped loudly, "Chirp chirp..."
Ji Xinghan glanced at Xiao Dingdang: "Do you understand?"
Doraemon tilted its head: "It's hungry and wants to eat."
Are you hungry?
Is that hard to say?
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment. This little bird looked like it had just been born. Birds this small usually wait for their mothers to catch insects to feed them.
She can go catch bugs then; there are plenty of plants and trees, so bugs are easy to find.
Ji Xinghan immediately wandered around the area, caught two small insects, and stuffed them into the mouth of the little bird with its mouth wide open.
As a result, the bird squealed twice, shook itself hard, flung the insect out, and continued to squeal at Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan was taken aback: "You don't eat insects?"
This is a problem. What will the chicks eat? Corn, wheat? Fruits?
She took out another piece of watermelon and fed it to the bird. The bird shook its beak and stumbled away.
reject!
She then brought out some grass seeds, but the bird continued to refuse to eat them.
Ji Xinghan tried feeding the bird all sorts of things, but the bird refused them and threw them out one by one.
Finally, she even used beef and mutton cubes, but the birds still wouldn't eat them.
Ji Xinghan was exhausted.
Dark clouds loomed overhead, and she was frantic. She simply picked up the little bird and said, "Come on, let's go back together."
To everyone's surprise, the little bird fluttered free and fell sideways into the grass, continuing to chirp loudly.
This happened several times; it simply refused to follow Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan was truly anxious. He stood up and said, "I can't save you. Goodbye!"
He turned and left.
The little bird panicked and stumbled after it through the grass, chirping, "Chirp chirp...save...meat!"
Ji Xinghan turned around, her face cold: "What meat do you want? We've already given you wolf meat, rabbit meat, beef, and mutton, didn't you refuse to eat them?"
The little bird chirped, "Meat, meat, chirp chirp!"
What other meat could there be?
Ji Xinghan opened his storage backpack and took a look, and what he saw was dried fish.
She hesitated for a moment because it was a dried fish that would drive Dingdang and Gouzi crazy after eating it.
Actually, she had just thought about whether to feed the birds this, but when she thought about the potent energy of the dried fish, she gave up the idea.
Could it be that the little bird wants to eat this?
It can't hold on!
Ji Xinghan took it out and hesitated for a moment.
The little bird saw it and immediately became excited, hopping and rolling around in the grass, chirping, "Chirp chirp, meat!"
Ji Xinghan thought for a moment, tore open a small bag of dried fish, plucked a fish tail, and stuffed it into the bird's beak.
The little bird swallowed it whole and continued chirping.
Ji Xinghan tore off another small piece and fed it into its mouth.
In no time, the little bird ate half a dried fish. Finally, it shook its head and closed its mouth.
Ji Xinghan was terrified, watching it with fear that it would go berserk or that it would overeat and die.
As a result, the little bird became lively and even more active, hopping and jumping around for a while before turning around and flying away.
It flew less than a meter, not even as tall as the grass, before falling down. It rolled and tumbled in the grass a few more times before rushing to the side, chirping, "Chirp chirp, baby."
Is there some treasure? Ji Xinghan immediately gave chase.
The little bird hopped and skipped, and soon arrived next to a big tree. Under the big tree was a rock about half a person's height.
The little bird nested under the big tree and chirped happily.
Could the baby be here?
Ji Xinghan circled the big tree and found that, apart from the large rock, there was nothing special about it.
"Chirp, baby!" the little bird chirped laboriously, flapping its wings, unsure whether it wanted to fly onto the rock or the tree.
Ji Xinghan had no choice but to jump onto the rock and continue the search.
She even squinted to examine the branches and leaves of the tree closely, searching and looking, but found nothing at all.
Ji Xinghan had already been delayed for over an hour, and she was getting anxious. She asked the little bird, "Where's my baby?"
The little bird flapped its wings and patted the stones: "Chirp, chirp!"
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat: "You mean... the treasure is inside the stone?"
The little bird nodded: "Chirp chirp!"
Ji Xinghan took out the exquisite umbrella: "Alright, you all step back, I'll smash it!"
Doraemon immediately retreated far away, and the little bird followed him, tumbling and crawling.
Ji Xinghan brandished the exquisite umbrella and smashed it hard against the rock.
With a loud crash, the stone shattered, revealing a treasure chest hidden in the crevice between it and the tree.
The treasure chest flashed with golden light, then its radiance dimmed.
Ji Xinghan's eyes widened in surprise. It was a glowing treasure chest! Not bad, not bad, there must be something good inside!
Little Dingdang ran over, its eyes widening in surprise: "Meow?"
His voice was filled with disbelief.
There was also a hint of embarrassment in its eyes.
Ji Xinghan understood that Dingdang was a treasure-hunting expert, and it was a little embarrassed that it hadn't discovered such a treasure inside the stone.
Ji Xinghan touched the box.
It's over, it's locked!
"Chirp chirp!" The little bird stumbled over, chirped twice, and rummaged through the stone fragments, finding a gleaming golden key.
Ji Xinghan was overjoyed and quickly went over to pick it up. She inserted the key into the lock, and with a "click," the treasure chest opened.
Ji Xinghan was on guard.
This is a golden box; who knows what might pop out of it?
What if there's a powerful beast? So, she gripped the exquisite umbrella tightly and took several steps back.
The treasure chest was opened, and golden light shone brightly.
Half a day later, the golden light continued to shine, but nothing popped out from inside.
Ji Xinghan approached and looked into the treasure chest...
