Chapter 91
On the way down the mountain, Xiao Zhao kept talking.
But as she was talking, she sensed something was wrong. She turned her head to look at the passenger seat. It seemed the director wasn't even listening to her. "Director?" Xiao Zhao couldn't help but call out, a bit sourly, "You were so busy looking at the parrot that you ignored me."
Mu Ling was indeed looking at the parrot at this time. The small parrot was standing 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 speak more, so that they can have an extra talent when they welcome guests in the future."
They don't want to force the animals, so they have never trained them and have let them grow freely.
But as for parrots, I feel they can indeed be trained. It would be so cool if they could talk. Look at Cuicui, she charmed the director the first time they met!
Mu Ling, who was completely bewildered, said: "..."
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 me! It's better to talk less!"
The child has no control over his mouth and really tells everything.
Xiao Zhao: “?”
At this moment, their car also drove into the shuttle bus lane.
Further ahead, many other shuttle buses can be seen. Mu Ling was about to remind Xiao Zhao to drive to the side and not take away the tourists' lane, but she saw the cyan parrot standing on the operating table suddenly spread its wings and flew out directly from the open window!
"Hey!" Mu Ling shouted and looked outside.
Cuicui was seen flying forward towards one of the shuttle buses parked on the side of the road.
Mu Ling's expression suddenly changed. Her first reaction was, "Could there be a strange beast in that car?" She quickly urged Xiao Zhao, "Drive over and take a look!"
Xiao Zhao hurriedly drove the car over there. When the car stopped, Mu Ling got out immediately. As soon as she got there, she heard an anxious scolding voice: "Cuicui! Where have you been? Why are you flying around? You scared me to death! Let me see, are you hurt?"
In the shuttle bus, the tour guide and the driver were also sweating profusely. They had never encountered such a thing. It was clearly said that the parrot was a war bird. Logically, war birds should have first-class obedience and discipline. How could it fly away like that? They chased the parrot all the way forward, and when they saw that it was about to leave the lane, the car stopped. They were about to contact the park staff, but the parrot flew back by itself.
The tour guide said helplessly, "Old man, please put a chain on its feet next time. It's too dangerous."
Parrots are not birds of prey. If they were wild beasts or raptors, even war beasts, they would need to be restrained at all times. However, because parrots are not birds of prey, this was neglected.
Principal Guo was also troubled. He first apologized to the tour guide, then asked the teachers and students behind him: "Does anyone bring a rope? A thin rope will do."
A female student said, "I have a hair tie."
As the student spoke, he took out the pink rope from his bag.
Principal Guo quickly thanked him, then tied one end of the rope around Cuicui's ankle and the other end around his own wrist.
An old professor said at this time: "It's probably this mountain forest environment that makes Cuicui yearn for the wild. It's okay, just come back."
The little episode ended here, and the driver returned to the driver's seat, ready to start the car again.
As a result, when he looked up, he was suddenly stunned: "Director Mu?"
The driver's voice was quite loud and the others in the car also heard it. They looked forward in confusion and saw a young girl wearing a Bick Zoo work uniform standing outside a car window in front of them.
Principal Guo and the teachers hadn't recognized her yet, but the students who loved browsing the Star Network had already recognized her. One student immediately said, "That's Director Mu from the Beak Zoo! She's the one who took the video!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and Principal Guo looked at Director Mu again.
At this time, Principal Mu also got 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 Beak Zoo, my last name is Mu. Just now, this little parrot suddenly flew over to our side. We thought it flew in from outside the park, but it turned out to be this old gentleman's pet."
"Cuicui isn't a pet!" a student suddenly said. "It's a retired warbird."
Mu Ling's eyes moved...it was indeed a war bird.
The tour guide next to him also quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, it is a war bird. We have seen the documents."
If this animal had not been certified as a war bird, he would not have dared to allow anyone to bring a strange animal into the mountains without any leash. If it was injured by the animals in the park, they would have to bear the responsibility later!
Mu Ling nodded. "So it's a warbird. No wonder it's so smart. I asked it what its name was, and it even said its name and age. But it looks very lively, and really doesn't look like it's forty-five."
Principal Guo tilted his head to glance at the cyan parrot perched on his shoulder and murmured in a low, accusing tone, "In less than half an hour, you've already told everyone everything?"
Mu Ling heard this and laughed, "Blame me, blame me, blame me for asking too many questions. Cuicui didn't say much. Where did it serve, why did it retire, what level of warbird is it? I don't know anything."
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 been filtered and the real person might not be such a humble and patient young man.
Unexpectedly, the real person was so friendly, so he didn't hide anything. "Cui Cui is an A-level war beast. She used to serve on Planet CY900. She retired three years ago...three years ago. After that, I adopted her."
Mu Ling noticed that the old man paused when he said "three years ago". She frowned. If he adopted the child, then the original owner would be...
She wanted to ask more, but looking at the car full of people, she finally said, "I see. Well, I won't bother you for now. I wish you all a happy viewing. See you down the mountain later."
Having said that, Mu Ling waved to everyone and got out of the car.
Seeing Mu Ling leave, the teachers and students in the car started talking again.
"This Director Mu seems to have a very good personality."
"Of course, of course! The principal is so sweet!"
The driver started the car at this time, and soon the shuttle bus slowly disappeared in front of Mu Ling.
Mu Ling pursed her lips, turned around, and returned to the car.
Seeing her come back, Xiao Zhao hurriedly asked, "Director, are you okay?"
Mu Ling shook her head and told him that Cuicui was a war bird and was brought up the mountain by tourists.
Xiao Zhao laughed when he heard this: "Haha, Director, you really are a favorite of war beasts, right? Other war beasts are also running to you."
I don't know if he ran towards her...
Mu Ling gave a bitter smile: "Fortunately there wasn't any strange beast, so it was just a false alarm. Okay, let's go."
-
2:30 in the afternoon.
Because it was a paid custom car, the three shuttle buses of Amuro Beast Taming Military Academy returned to the service area in advance.
When Principal Guo and his companions got off the bus, they saw that some tourists had already gotten off at the service area and were waiting outside the animal dormitory and war beast nursery.
Principal Guo then put Cuicui back into his pocket and said to the teachers and students behind him, "Everyone is free to move around now. See you at the gate at six o'clock."
After that, the sixty people dispersed. 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.
A while later, 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 headmaster Mu whom he had met before walking towards him.
"Director!"
"Director, look here!"
Someone in the crowd raised his hand and shouted.
Mu Ling looked over there, then waved and greeted the tourists.
The crowd immediately became more excited, and amid the cheers, Mu Ling pushed open the glass door and walked into the animal dormitory.
The next second, the solid glass of the animal dormitory instantly became transparent, and the scene inside became visible at a glance.
“It’s open, it’s open!”
"Ahhhh, I can finally see my babies in person!"
"Look, Lightning is on the cat climbing frame again!"
"Lightning Baby has climbed so high! Where's Tayun? Why can't I see Tayun?"
"Tayun is drinking water!"
"Look, Moonlight is sleeping on the cushions today. He used to sleep in the corner, but today he's sleeping with Qilin. Is it because of that duck neck of friendship?"
"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 it sleeping? Why is it coiled up like a mosquito coil?"
“That’s how giraffes sleep!”
"Why did King Kong go to the magic side? Oh, he must be disgusted by Moonlight's small size and can't stop it, right? So, if he hides behind the magic, Pi-Invincible can't find him and can't drag him to gym class, right? Woohoo, our King Kong is so smart!"
Every tourist has his or her favorite war beast. Everyone cheered enthusiastically and screamed loudly for their favorite war beast. Principal Guo couldn't help but protect his pockets, fearing that such a loud noise would scare Cuicui.
Just as Principal Guo was hesitating whether to go to the War Beast Nursery first, he heard a louder cry coming from behind.
"Ahhhh, a red panda! It's a red panda! A super super super cute red panda!"
"No, no, this is the Snow Bear, a real brother of the Red Panda from the same village!"
"Oh my god, is this the Nine-Needle Pig? The Nine-Needle Pig is the only pig species in the pig family that can be used as a war beast. The Nine-Needle Pig is the white moonlight in the eyes of pig fans!"
"Hey, are only the two glass houses open? Aren't the others open?"
"Ahhhh look, Snowbear is at the door, can it see me?"
Principal Guo usually watches videos, so he really didn't know that the atmosphere on site would be so lively.
Feeling that Cuicui seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable, Principal Guo quickly took Cuicui out, let it stand on his shoulders, and then walked to a place with fewer people.
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 said with a smile, "Principal Mu, why are you here? Don't let anyone see you."
When Director Mu walked over just now, the tourists were very enthusiastic. Now that she comes over, I hope she won’t cause another commotion, right?
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Everyone is just shouting for fun. Now that the war beast is here, no one cares about me. I just passed by and saw that Cuicui seemed a little nervous. Do you want to give her some water?"
Principal Guo also worriedly touched the cyan parrot that was clinging to his ear 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 nutritional water, he hesitated and said, "That's troublesome."
The dean of studies and two other male teachers were originally walking with the principal, but seeing this, they stopped following and continued to visit the war beasts.
There was no one in the veterinary station at the moment. Professor Sun usually didn't stay there. She had her own office where many of her own testing instruments were kept. Dr. Bray was busy paying attention to the pregnancy of the three female Wind-Chasing wolves recently, and would occasionally go into the mountains to take a look.
Mu Ling asked the old man to sit down, and then poured him a glass of nutritious water.
Principal Guo then took Cuicui and put her on his lap, letting her 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, like falcons."
Principal Guo knew she was talking about Tayun. He was used to being a teacher and was accustomed to answering every question from his students, so he explained, "The Falcon is naturally an excellent offensive warbird, but among reconnaissance warbirds, the most powerful is the Pure-winged Parrot. The Pure-winged Parrot is different from ordinary parrots. Ordinary parrots have a medium flying speed, poor eyesight, and average sense of smell, but the Pure-winged Parrot is an evolved species of parrot. They have sharp eyesight, strong memory, keen sense of smell, and excellent language organization ability. In the entire military, the Pure-winged Parrot is a hot commodity. Before Cuicui retired, she was fought over by commanders from several planets. Because it was so popular, its owner was always transferred around..."
Principal Guo paused for a moment, not intending to continue. He looked down at Cuicui, who seemed to have finished drinking, and handed the bowl of water to Mu Ling, saying, "Thank you for your help. We'll be leaving now."
Mu Ling actually wanted to ask more, but the other person obviously didn't want to talk anymore, so she could only send him out first.
As a result, as soon as she left the veterinary station, Cui Cui, who had regained her spirit, suddenly spread her wings and flew in one direction.
It had just flown twice when 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, and quickly turned her head and looked around. Seeing that Brother Xiang and Brother Wei did not appear, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Cuicui stood unsteadily in her master's hand. Then, as if realizing that it was the rope that was causing her trouble, she lowered her head and pecked at the rope around her foot twice. Then, she looked up in the direction of the War Beast Nursery and said, "Hello, Swallow."
Principal Guo: “?”
Mu Ling: “…”
"What are you talking about? What are you trying to swallow? Are you hungry again?" Principal Guo was baffled, but worried that the child would feel wronged, so he said helplessly, "Okay, okay, eat two more melon seeds. Only two. You've gained weight lately."
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, Principal Guo said to Mu Ling, "Thank you for the nutrient water. We'll be leaving now."
The little parrot immediately looked up and said, "Goodbye, Mu Ling."
Mu Ling: “…”
Principal Guo: “…”
Principal Guo didn't know where Cuicui heard the name of the headmaster. He thought it was quite presumptuous and quickly took Cuicui away.
Until the old man walked away, Mu Ling pursed her lips, suddenly took out the intercom, and asked over there: "Uncle Li, was the glass house that was just swallowed open?"
A response soon came from the other end, but it wasn't from Li Yan, but from the zoo's keeper: "Director? Uncle Li just went in to bring afternoon tea to Tuotu."
After turning off the intercom, Mu Ling pursed her lips, turned on the light brain, and dialed the number of her devouring master, Lieutenant Xin.
-
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Li and Xiang Bie sat in the back seat of the patrol car going down the mountain. Wei Li saw that Brother Xiang was still calm, but he had already panicked. He lowered his voice in frustration 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. Upon hearing this, he looked up at the front. It was Zhao Fang who was driving, and his colleague in the passenger seat had fallen asleep.
Xiang Bie opened his own light brain and replied with text: [Should I cover your mouth? ]
Wei Li: “…”
Yes, it’s Cuicui’s mouth that should be covered!
Wei Li also typed: [How does Cuicui know me? The headmaster wouldn't really believe this, would he? It's obvious it's a lie. Oh, I should have explained it then! I said Cuicui must have heard it from her master and picked it up randomly!]
Item: [Don't be nervous.]
Wei Li: [How can I not be nervous? The headmaster must know about this!]
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.
As soon as Wei Li got out of the car, he quietly looked into the veterinary station.
Dr. Bray came out at this time and saw him acting suspiciously. He asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
Wei Li asked quietly, "Is the director in there?"
“No.”
Wei Li breathed a sigh of relief and then pulled Dr. Bray aside and asked, "Where's the bird? Where's the parrot?"
"What parrot?" Dr. Bray looked confused.
Seeing that he didn't know, Wei Li became suspicious again. Didn't the headmaster bring Cuicui down? Could it be that Cuicui flew away again?
Wei Li pondered for a moment and then asked, "How do you think the director is feeling today?"
Dr. Bray didn't know what Wei Li wanted to ask, so he frowned and said, "Your mood is just like usual. What are you doing? Are you going to get into trouble?"
Wei Li waved his hands quickly: "No, no."
As he said this, seeing that he couldn't get any information from Dr. Bray, he wanted to go find Xiao Zhao.
As soon as I turned around and walked out, I saw the headmaster walking towards me.
Wei Li turned around and ran to the other side!
Mu Ling brought Ta Yun in to check the damage value. Looking at Brother Wei running away, she asked, "What happened to Brother Wei?"
Dr. Bray shrugged. "Who knows? It's weird."
Mu Ling took another look over there, then retracted her gaze and walked inside.
After the test was completed, she sent Tayun back to the animal dormitory. As soon as she entered, she saw Brother Xiang feeding Mofa grass.
Mu Ling paused for a moment, then pretended to greet him naturally, "Brother Xiang."
Xiang Bie turned around to look 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 released Tayun, smiling broadly as she said, "Yes, I only found out later that Director Wang had asked us to buy a few extra group and individual tickets. It turns out they were for Cuicui's owner. That old gentleman is the principal of the Amuro Star Beast Taming Military Academy, and he brought his teachers and students here for team building. This old gentleman is really quiet, and if Director Wang hadn't just called me, I wouldn't have known about it."
Xiang Bie frowned, as if wondering when he had met the principal of the Amuro Star Beast Taming Academy.
If she hadn't met him before, how would Cuicui know him?
Mu Ling noticed Brother Xiang's expression. She pursed her lips and smiled again, "Oh, by the way, Cuicui was adopted by Principal Guo. It's the same way a war beast is adopted after it's retired. Hey, I should ask him about the adoption process. Won't it be useful when we apply for adoption and loyalty later?"
Adoption?
Xiang Bie frowned.
So its original owner has passed away?
Mu Ling added, "Cui Cui has been retired for three years, but you see, the war beasts that normally retire are healthy and sleek, unlike the ones 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 an "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 Brother Xiang's expression. Then she said, "By the way, after Cuicui came down the mountain, she also saw Swallow. I tell you, it's pure fate. Swallow and Cuicui served together, and Cuicui recognized Swallow with just one sniff. She's no wonder she was a scout. Her keen sense is incredible."
Xiang Bie handed the fodder to Mo Fa while glancing at Mu Ling. He then said, "Got it. I'll pay attention."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling blinked in confusion, very puzzled: "What are you paying attention to?"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie lowered his eyes. He didn't know why, but she had been so cooperative and friendly, and had even taken the initiative to reveal the known information to him in the least offensive way.
But why did he feel uncomfortable?
"Mu Ling." After pausing for a few seconds, Xiang Bie suddenly said impulsively, "Ask me something."
Mu Ling: “…”
Xiang Bie raised his eyes. His dark eyes were deep. He looked at her closely and said in a softer voice, "Ask what you want to know, okay?"
Mu Ling: “…”
The atmosphere in the animal dormitory suddenly became strange, until Magic poked Xiang Bie's shoulder with his soft nose in dissatisfaction, signaling him to hurry up. Only then did Xiang Bie look 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, then actually 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 asked, "Are you a legal expert?"
Category: "..."
Category: “?”
It's no wonder Mu Ling asked that. You're a marshal, and how many marshals are there in the Federation? Isn't there just one? He's about the same age, and he disappeared three years ago. Your employment file says you came to Beek Zoo two years ago, and Cuicui has already exposed you by name. You're really arrogant! You changed your first name, but you still haven't changed your last name...
Then Cuicui and Swallow were both on Abyss Star three years ago. She had confirmed this with Second Lieutenant Xin, who said that Swallow was injured and retired in the battle of Abyss Star. At that time, there was indeed a pure-winged parrot in the Abyss Star Beast Taming Army. That parrot was from the reconnaissance team and had helped her find the missing Swallow.
You were also on Abyss Star at that time. I found your old news by searching. There was a news report three years ago that the Capital Army went to Abyss Star. Although there was no photo of you, the news content mentioned that you were the strategic commander.
So you, Cuicui and Swallow are actually comrades-in-arms. You have all been to the Abyssal Sea Star. You don’t recognize them, but they haven’t forgotten you.
So that's why you disappeared after that battle.
Aren't you the marshal? What are you hiding from?
I don't really want to interfere with what you're hiding from, but I'm afraid you're a legal expert. What if you've committed a crime under military law and are on the run? If you're caught, then I'll be charged with harboring someone...
I don’t mind it myself, but who will take care of the animals in the park then?
Mu Ling scratched her face, her expression a little embarrassed. She muttered in a low voice: "You asked me to ask..."
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie stared at her solemnly.
Mu Ling felt guilty when he saw her, so she pretended to be busy and used her fingers to pick at the outer layer of the magic.
Xiang Bie took a deep breath, and after a while, he said, "No."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not a legal expert!"
