Chapter 61 The Crazy Female Bird
Chapter 61 The Crazy Female Bird
Before Xu Fei was distressed that he didn't have any ingredients for cooking, Bai and Heli brought over a large basket of food, which contained a lot of meat, which had been peeled and cleaned.
What surprised Xu Fei was that there were many green plants in this big basket of ingredients.He picked out a large green vegetable with leaves like a three-petal maple leaf and asked Bai, "What is this?"
Bai introduced various vegetables to Xu Fei: "This is bracken, and that is Mu Jin. Roasted meat is delicious. And this is cornel, which can be used to make soup."
Although their family loves to eat meat, there is a rule that they must eat vegetables regularly, saying that it is to maintain their body shape. Who knows what their body shape is!
These kinds of vegetables are considered good in taste, and the green leaves he ate before were all bitter.Among them, Cornus officinalis has a sour taste and can prevent miscarriage, but it is difficult to pick, and most people can't eat it.
"It just so happens that I don't know what to do with these dishes, so you stay and have a meal together." Xu Fei put down the bracken in his hand, so much food, he and Nagu couldn't finish it alone.
"Okay, that's what I thought too. The food has been washed, and I'll put them in the back for you." Bai said.
Although Xu Fei's belly hadn't protruded yet, he had already begun to be cautious with Xu Fei's movements, moving Xu Fei to the side even if he moved a basket, keeping him far away as if he would take a step.
Xu Fei turned around pretending not to care, and followed the porter.
Nagu was worried, afraid that Bai would say something that would make Xu Fei unhappy, so he also followed Xu Fei in.
Hurry stood there wondering, based on what he saw last time, the cooking area at the back of the house should be relatively narrow, so how can so many people turn around at once?
Sure enough, Nagu was kicked out after a while.
Harry smiled.
On the wooden table with rounded edges and corners, there are a few dishes that don't look very good, but taste delicious.
Stir-fried pork slices with bracken, stewed bones with hibiscus, and cornel soup.As soon as these green vegetables are cooked with the meat, the color turns yellow, and they don't look as attractive as the bright green.But it tastes good, not soft and chewy.
As soon as the dishes are on the table, everyone sits in a row and starts eating.Strictly speaking, there are no picky eaters here, it can only be said that everyone has a preference.But in general, I still like to eat more meat.
The stewed dogwood grass soup is the bone soup that has been stewed for a long time before. Cut the tender cornel grass into small pieces and put it in. The boiled soup is refreshing and not greasy.
Xu Fei drank three bowls before stopping, and only then did he realize that he had drunk too much.
Seeing that Xu Fei drank so much soup, the baby in his belly would definitely be safe, and he was so happy that he ate several large pieces of meat (although he also ate a lot when he was unhappy).
After dinner, the table was cleared, and the four of them sat together to rest.
"The elders in the top house are also god servants?" Nagu became curious about the people here because he knew that his father was the patriarch here.
"Well, my Ama said that they are all old monsters who have lived for a long time. If there is nothing wrong, don't go up there, they will be caught to play." Bai vowed.
The other three...
How do you feel that you are lying to children? The elders above will be sad when they hear it.
Seeing that everyone didn't respond, Bai Bai changed his expression and said, "Of course, I later found out that it was a lie. The elders of our clan lived there, not old monsters at all."
"Elder?" Xu Fei felt like a cult organization.
"Well, it's like your priests. But the elders won't come out when they have nothing to do. They only go up to ask for instructions when everyone can't make a decision." When I was young, I was deeply impressed by the old monsters who would lock up children, so even later Bai Knowing that it was fake, I didn't dare to be naughty on it.
"Oh." It seems that this matter is not easy to solve, Harry looked at the sky outside, "It's getting late, go back to sleep."
"Well, Xu Fei, you have to be careful when you sleep, don't crush the baby." Sure enough, in the end, Bai still said the baby he was thinking about.
Xu Fei nodded, he was already able to maintain a calm face.
After the people left, Xu Fei glanced at the big man who was swaying around in front of him, and patted him on the back, "Stop shaking, my eyes are blinded by your shaking."
The big man stopped immediately, a little afraid to look directly at Xu Fei's stomach.
"Come on, let's go out for a stroll, I'm a little full." Xu Fei himself didn't dare to pat his stomach casually, as if he patted something terrible in his stomach would fall out.
"Okay." The daughter-in-law had been lying in the house for a whole day, and she really needed to move around, and Nagu only planned to take him to a nearby place.
As soon as it got dark, the branches outside were covered with bright oil dishes, illuminating that side of the world with a soft orange-yellow.
It was time for everyone to have dinner, and no one was moving outside.
The tangled branches under the feet, as well as the top of the head, these branches are so entangled that it is difficult to look at the sky.
Xu Fei thought of his small cave, the newly built house that he hadn't lived in for a few days, and the vegetable garden with all kinds of vegetables moved by the door.
"I don't know when I can go back?" He didn't want to say he was homesick, but he really wanted to go back.
"I can go back soon." When the matter was settled, Nagu took Xu Fei back, and then he didn't go anywhere.
"Well, go back to sleep." After walking around for a while, Xu Fei felt that it was nothing interesting.
"Okay." The big man walked back with Xu Fei, the lights flickered along the way, and he could see the road clearly.
After washing, Xu Fei and Nagu lay back on the wooden bed.He glanced at the oil pan outside the window, the wick made a slight crackling sound as it burned.
Maybe I can ask Bai tomorrow how the oil dish is made.It will be much more convenient at night when the oil dish is also placed at home.With such thoughts in mind, Xu Fei closed his eyes.
Nagu doesn't dare to hug Xu Fei's waist when he is sleeping now, and only waits for him to fall asleep before leaning forward.
It has been more than a month since I came out this time, it has been too long, not to mention Xu Fei, Nagudu wants to go back, but the matter has not been resolved yet, and the way back is far away, so I can only wait.
What woke Xu Fei up was neither the sun nor Bai's noise, but the violent shaking of the ground.If it weren't for Nagu's quick eyesight and hands to support him, he might have rolled to the ground.
"Is this an earthquake?" The shaking continued, Xu Fei had no choice but to support the big man.
"It's the top of the tree shaking." The big man didn't know what an earthquake was, but he could feel that the violent movement came from above.
There was already a commotion outside, taking advantage of the slowing down of the earthquake, Nagu quickly carried Xu Fei out of the house.
When I went out, I saw that there were people climbing up the tree trunks.Because they swayed so badly, they also staggered when they got up.
As soon as Nagu got out of the house, he put Xu Fei aside. Broken branches kept falling around him. Nagu had to free his hand to block the branches. Their wooden house was already crumbling.
"Hurry up and come here!" Xiao Hei and his twin brother waved to Nagu and his brother.
Nagu took Xu Fei and jumped over, "What's going on?"
"Oh, let's talk as we walk." Brother Erhei hurriedly walked, sighing as he went, "The missing female bird came back this morning. It was fine and everyone was happy. It's crazy up there."
The stronger the shock felt on the top, Xiao Hei and the others took Nagu and Xu Fei to the bottom.
"What are you going to do now?" You can't just let it go crazy like this. Walking along the road, Xu Fei noticed that the houses seemed to be collapsing.
"The elders have already gone up, and they should calm down soon." Xiao Hei just took a few glances at the top, and was chased down by the first elder. When he met Bai and the others on the way back, he was told to come over.
Nagu and Xu Fei felt relieved when they heard that someone was in charge. Now that Xu Fei is pregnant, Nagu will not rush to join in the fun.
"Okay, it should be fine here." The four of them walked for more than ten minutes, and Brother Erhei brought them to a huge branch.There is a distance from the top of the tree, so there is no such violent shaking.
The leaves on the trees here became much thicker again, Xu Fei could only see a corner of the sky when he raised his head, and couldn't see the madness happening above.
It didn't take long before they heard a few long and thick whistles from a long distance above the top, as if blown out with a Xun, and the sound was desolate.
Although the tone is bleak, the whistle is slow and not sharp, which makes people feel relaxed.Xu Fei thought it was probably because the people above were trying to stabilize the female bird, Xiao Hei and Da Hei also listened carefully, only Nagu looked a little dazed.
Those whistles didn't ring continuously, but they sounded for a while after a while, intermittently, each time the tone was different, as if talking to someone.
I don't know how long it took until the penetrating whistle stopped, and the trees above stopped shaking so much.
Xiao Hei waited for a while to make sure that there was no follow-up action, and then said to Nagu and the others: "It seems to be all right, let's go up and take a look?"
Xiao Hei was very reluctant to be kicked out before. Young people like to watch the excitement.
"Go." Xu Fei also wanted to see what the female bird looked like. If I remembered correctly, this bird should be Fat Chirp's mother.
Seeing that Xu Fei agreed, Na Gu thought it would be okay to go and have a look, so he also agreed.
On the contrary, only Dahei remained silent, "The elder said he couldn't go up."
"It was dangerous before, isn't it all right now!" Xiao Hei argued.
"Then..." Dahei was obviously much more stable than him, and he was still hesitating at this moment.
"If you don't go, stay here alone, let's go." Xiao Hei was afraid that he would not see anything if he went late, so he directly decided to abandon his brother.
"Let's stay together." Dahei shook his head, feeling a little helpless.
Since everyone is curious, this speed is not slow.When they opened the small opening and climbed onto the platform, many people had already gathered on it.
Away from so many people, Xu Fei could still see the huge Mucrow lying on the edge of the clear water with a few old people standing around it.
"Walk, walk, you can't see clearly from behind." Xiao Hei didn't dare to drag Xu Fei and Na Gu, so he grabbed his brother and walked forward.
Xu Fei and Nagu also rushed to the front.
With a distance of five or six meters from the big bird, Xu Fei raised his head and looked at the huge black mass in front of him.I saw that the bird seemed to be tired, with its head drooping and its eyes half-closed.
There is not much difference between the male and female birds, but they are smaller than the male birds. The biggest difference is probably the eyes.The pupil color of the male bird is the same as the feather color, which is jet black.The eyes of the female bird are black with gray, of course, it is not easy to find without looking carefully.
But at this moment, the bird's eyes turned pale yellow, which made everyone aware that something was wrong.
"Elder, how is it?" Xiao Hei often feeds Fei Jiu, and is also very concerned about Fei Jiu's mother.
"It's stable for the time being, and we'll figure out a way later." The Great Elder wiped the sweat off his face, and prepared to have someone tie up the female bird first to prevent it from going crazy again.
It was only with the strength of the five of them just now that the big guy was restrained, and the female bird did not speak for a long time, which is very abnormal.
When a few young people came over dragging the vines, the female bird, which seemed to have no energy at first, suddenly swayed to the side, and moved a large distance in one go, avoiding the ropes dragged by everyone.
Everyone thought it was resisting the rope, but who knew that it jumped up, grabbed Xu Fei with one paw, and flew into the air.
This happened so suddenly that no one could react, and the female bird flew away from the ground.The one who reacted the fastest was the big man who had been paying attention to Xu Fei. When he saw his wife was arrested, he jumped on the bird's back angrily after borrowing a few strengths.
It's a pity that the crow is too huge. With just a few flaps of its wings, it can fly 30 meters away.At this time, it would be very difficult for everyone to catch up, so they could only watch helplessly as the two people who were taken away by inexplicable things got further and further away.
