start with a pet store

Chapter 504 The mentality is broken

This was a chicken farm halfway up the mountain. A not very tall man was waiting for them at the door. Seeing the car coming, the man was visibly relieved. He directed them to park the car at the door and took them to the farm. Walk inside.

While walking, he introduced the situation: "I'll sleep there."

The farm owner pointed to a simple shed set up on the right: "I will come inside around three o'clock every night to take a look..."

"It wasn't inspection time tonight. I took a look around 02:30 and heard the chickens in the greenhouse croaking loudly and flying. I was afraid that some wild boar or something had come in and they even took some chickens. Iron rod comes in and takes a look..."

As a result, when I walked inside, I saw chickens flying all over the place.

I looked at the ground for a long time and didn't see anything.

He walked around until he reached the end of the shed and found an owl on the top.

"I was so frightened by it at the time. Its two big eyes were so round, ouch..."

It looked quite scary, and when he got close, it flapped its wings fiercely, as if it wanted to grab him, which frightened him quite a bit.

It was later discovered that it was entangled.

"I tried to untie it, but it fluttered. I was afraid that it would peck me, and that I would be injured if I struggled for a long time. I really had no choice..."

After the man finished explaining the situation, they walked to the farm.

The smell in the chicken shed was a bit strong, so they both walked in with frowns on their faces.

Lu Jingxing took a look at the scene. The two sides of the chicken farm were separated. The chicken farm was not very big, it could only be considered a medium-sized farm, not a modern industrial style one.

Long'an is a small city, and the management of this kind of breeding farms is not as strict as that of big cities. Especially if it is built on the mountainside, there are basically no people within a mile of it, so there are no complaints about the smell or disturbing the residents. , no one cares about natural hygiene, so it is normal for the smelly environment to be bad.

The chickens were all half-grown. Although it was night, but with the lights on, and the owl scare just now, and with the few people who came in, we could hear the chickens croaking "GeGeGeGe" everywhere. Chickens fly wherever you go.

The farm owner took Lu Jingxing and the others to the place where the owl was trapped, right above the chicken coop.

When the owl saw someone coming, it struggled a few more times. Suddenly it looked down and stopped moving, shouting "Wow, wow, wow...".

Ji Ling was so excited: "Brother Lu, look, is it the one we rescued a few days ago?"

Lu Jingxing obviously noticed it too. He opened his heart language and communicated with the owl: "What's going on with you?"

"Wow wow wow...save me..." The owl was very excited.

"Okay, don't worry, we are here to rescue you." Lu Jingxing sighed helplessly.

The farm owner felt even more relieved when Ji Ling said it was the one they rescued last time. He could see that the owl recognized them, and thought that although it was an animal, it would be better than catching it blindly.

But a new trouble came again. The inside of the net was made of iron wire, with a layer of nylon string spread on top.

At that time, I was afraid of attracting birds when feeding. Now the owl's wings and feet are entangled with the nylon rope. Although the net is made of wire, if the owl moves on it, the whole net will still move, and people will definitely not be able to stand on it.

The owl is in the middle of the net, with no room for hands on either side. Even if the owl doesn't bite, how can we get it down without struggling?

Lu Jingxing came out of the greenhouse and walked around outside. He determined that it was not easy to do anything outside. There was no place to stand and the barbed wire fence couldn't hold people. He walked in and shook his head at Ji Ling.

"Then what should we do?" Ji Ling looked at the owl that struggled from time to time, fearing that it would be injured again.

"I'm going to ask the farm brother if he has a ladder. If it doesn't work, I can only find a solution from inside." Lu Jingxing stood under the owl again and looked at the scene below.

The farm owner made two cups of tea and brought it in. Lu Jingxing said to him, "I just went to look outside. It's not easy to get started outside, so I can only rescue it from the inside. It's so high inside that I can only build a ladder. Do you have any?" A slightly higher herringbone ladder, about three meters? It’s almost enough for people standing on it together.”

"Herringbone ladder? It needs to be about three meters. I took a look and it seems that there was a wooden one that I ordered when I was building the shed, but it seemed to be only about two meters high. I don't know where it was placed. I went out. Look for it, it should be placed outside the greenhouse." The farm owner thought for a while and said.

"Also, this area of ​​the net needs to be cut." Lu Jingxing said while gesturing to the farm owner.

"That's no problem, you can just cut it. I have pliers here. As long as the whole piece is not torn off, I can find someone to repair it then. It's okay." The farm owner now only wants to get the owl off. It's nothing.

He said cheerfully and walked outside to find a ladder.

Lu Jingxing got the gloves and cage from the car, and the farm owner also found the ladder.

It was really ordered by myself, and it had been stored for a long time, and the wood had turned from white to dark. Lu Jingxing tried it, and it was okay, it was still strong.

He placed the ladder slightly below the owl, leaving a ready position for him to do something.When the owl saw Lu Jingxing flopping about below, it stopped moving and watched quietly with its neck tilted.

The farm owner quickly brought the broom from outside, drove the chickens in front, and cleaned the floor. He and Ji Ling held on to the stairs while Lu Jingxing climbed up.

The wooden ladder is almost [-] centimeters long. After climbing six stairs, you reach the penultimate level. You can just reach the barbed wire with your hands straightened out. But to catch the owl, you have to go up one more level, which is the flat top level. , not very easy to settle down.

"What to do? It's still a little bit close. Be careful." Ji Ling was a little worried down there.Lu Jingxing grabbed the net with his hands and raised his head with difficulty: "It's okay, I'll cut the net first."

The net looks thin, but it's still a bit laborious to cut. You have to raise your neck, and you have to move the ladder after cutting a small half circle.

The advantage of the herringbone ladder is that you can take a small step forward without getting down. Lu Jingxing took two steps and continued cutting.

The owl is quite honest now.

They were very cooperative, neither barking nor moving, just watching.

Finally, I cut a hole in the barbed wire in front of the owl, and then I could reach it by standing on the beam above.

The nylon net pliers couldn't be cut, so he had to use scissors. Lu Jingxing was afraid that he might not be able to do it at once when he got the owl after standing for a long time, so he came down to rest for a while, then straightened the ladder, and then took the scissors again. Climbed up.

The owl watched him come over with a pair of scissors and began to flap again.

"Don't move. I'm going to help you get rid of the rope around you. I'll give you cans to eat later." The gloves were too thick, and the handles of the scissors were too small to fit in with the gloves on. Lu Jingxing could only go in with the scissors with his bare hands. Even after cutting the nylon rope, he was still afraid of the owl suddenly attacking him, so he could only tempt it with cans, hoping that it would not bite him.

"Wow wow wow..." The owl understood that there were cans to eat and stopped moving, allowing Lu Jingxing to take action and cut off the rope.

Lu Jingxing grabbed the owl's feet with both hands and slowly squatted down.

The owner of the farm quickly brought the cage over, and Lu Jingxing put the owl in with his bare hands.

After all, he had been raising him for a while, and the owl was kind enough not to bite him.

Ji Ling had been holding on to the ladder to shine the light, until she saw him landing smoothly, her hanging heart finally fell, and she let out a long breath.

Lu Jingxing asked the farmer if he had any other small wires or ties, or if he could patch it up. He had noticed it when he was cutting it, and that piece was still good. As long as the edges were tied well, the impact would not be big. The farmer hurriedly He said: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll do this by myself tomorrow. You guys have already helped me a lot. It's so late at night, so you should take it home quickly. You can still sleep for a while."

When Lu Jingxing heard what he said, he stopped being polite. After he came down, he opened a big can and promised the owl that he couldn't break his promise.

When the owl saw the canned food, he ate it unceremoniously.

Lu Jingxing took a preliminary look and found that the owl's wings were not injured this time, and its feet were not a big problem because of the timely rescue. He would wait to see if it could walk. If possible, he might be able to release it directly.

Ji Ling packed up the things together, Lu Jingxing carried the big cage, and the two of them said goodbye to the farm owner and hurried back.

On the way, they opened the windows.

Playing songs and blowing the wind all the way, while chatting.

I can't help it, otherwise I would feel really sleepy.

Halfway through the drive, Lu Jingxing stopped the car.

He pulled open the back door and opened the owl cage: "Ah...yeah...you go."

"Quaa?" The owl looked shocked: No, why?

It has already thought about it. When it goes back with them later, it will eat cans, broth, and chunks of meat!
Lu Jingxing was so angry that he tugged at it: "You're not injured. Why are you coming back with us? Come down quickly."

"Quack, quack, quack." The owl clutched the cage tightly and refused to let go.

No matter, if it doesn’t leave, it won’t get any meat, so don’t even think about it leaving!

Although it usually looks bad, it is actually a bird of prey.

When it didn't want to, Lu Jingxing really couldn't do anything with it.

After wrangling for a while, he could only give up and sighed deeply: "You bastard."

It’s really just for fun, it’s turned into brown sugar, it’s a complete waste.

Ji Ling smiled when she saw it, and said with crooked eyebrows, "It depends on us."

As if in response to her words, the owl hooted.

Listening to this meaning, not only is he not ashamed, he is also quite proud.

But today's broth was already gone. I went to the store and fed two cans, but the owl still refused to leave.

Lu Jingxing was sleepy as hell. He looked at its two big eyes again and lost his temper: "Would you like to leave? Come on, let's go back! Go to sleep!"

He grabbed it with a "snap" and threw it directly into the cage in the backyard.
