Nan Shu touched the stickers to both children before saying, "Red has appeared."
"Red? What red?"
The oriole's tiny, bean-sized eyes were full of confusion.
Meimei didn't want to talk to it anymore. She stood up and called out to the distance, "Caw, caw!"
A few clear bird calls.
The cry had just ended.
A lithe, light, jet-black bird flew in from afar, skimmed over the rooftop, and landed on the shelf on the car roof.
It was a crow.
Its dark pupils glanced at the three of them, finally settling on Nan Shu, and it made two "ah ah" sounds: "Meimei, is this the human you were talking about?"
“Ya Ya, this is Xiao Shu, she’s different from the other humans you hate.”
Crow: "Oh."
"It doesn't matter, let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back."
Ya Ya tilted her head, her expression aloof and cold.
"Xiao Shu, this is Ya Ya. This is just her personality. Don't be angry."
Lili explained in a soft, sweet voice.
"not angry."
Nan Shu glanced at Ya Ya. She had never seen it before, which showed that the little guy didn't like appearing in human territory from the beginning.
I was persuaded by Meimei this time in order to help her.
How could she possibly be angry about that?
"I knew it, Xiaoshu, you're the best!"
Lili nuzzled Nan Shu's cheek again.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. You should go back now; we have important business to attend to."
Meimei urged.
The oriole then flew away reluctantly.
Nan Shu watched Lili fly away safely before turning her gaze away and saying to the two of them, "Let's go, get in the car."
Liu Ming responded, but subconsciously glanced at the crow on the roof of the car with its arrogant gaze. I must say, that bird is really handsome!
Crow rolled its eyes: Look? What are you looking at?!
Nan Shu looked at Ya Ya.
"Ya Ya, do you want to get in the car? It's a long journey, and you might not have the energy..."
Before Nan Shu could finish speaking, Ya Ya turned around.
"No, stop nagging."
Nan Shu: ...
Meimei was furious and slapped Yaya hard across the face, yelling, "How dare you talk like that?"
Liu Ming: ...
Today was truly an eye-opening day; I witnessed food beating up a predator.
The thrush... should be on the crow's menu, right?
Nan Shu coughed lightly and called out "Meimei," which stopped the one-sided beating.
Ya Ya glanced at Nan Shu, snorted softly, and remained standing on the roof of the car, motionless.
"Xiao Shu, don't worry about it. This guy is just stubborn."
Meimei's voice trembled; she was clearly furious.
Nan Shu patted its back.
"Okay, don't be angry, let's get in the car."
Back in the car, Meimei immediately spotted Tiehanhan lying on the back seat, their eyes meeting.
Tie Hanhan's eyes lit up immediately.
Beautiful feathers burst open.
Nan Shu raised her hand and patted Tie Hanhan's head. Tie Hanhan looked at Nan Shu with a wronged expression and swished its big tail. It was instinctive and it couldn't control it.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt Meimei."
Nan Shu comforted the little one.
Meimei hummed and mumbled, "It smells like Xiaoshu and that little parrot too."
His tone was sarcastic and bitter.
Nan Shu was taken aback and looked down at it.
"Would Meimei like to come home with me?" Meimei didn't answer.
It likes Xiaoshu, but loves freedom even more.
Nan Shu smiled and gently smoothed out the little guy's ruffled feathers.
The car drove smoothly on the country road.
Liu Ming glanced at the rearview mirror and caught a glimpse of Ya Ya flying behind the car. He couldn't help but exclaim, "So cool! No wonder it's a divine bird carefully selected by our ancestors."
"The crow, in ancient times, was regarded as an auspicious bird, known as the 'three-legged golden crow,' and is one of the most intelligent bird species..."
Xu Yunli spoke slowly.
As he explained the facts, Liu Ming clearly noticed that the crows in the rearview mirror seemed to be flying more energetically.
From the front, the side... it displays its agile flying posture from almost every angle.
It was as if she understood Xu Yunli's praise.
Liu Ming: ...
Is this bird a spirit?
"Humph."
Just thinking about it.
Then the crow suddenly swooped down, squeezed through the car window into the car, and landed steadily on the seat in front of Xu Yunli, its dark eyes staring at him.
He turned to Meimei and made two "ah ah" sounds.
"This person has good taste, unlike the others. I like him."
Meimei said irritably, "You like it when people praise you, don't you?"
The crow gave a soft snort and did not refute.
Nan Shu chuckled as she listened to the two little ones' conversation and looked at Xu Yunli.
Noticing her gaze, Xu Yunli turned her head in confusion.
Meeting the girl's smiling eyes, and then glancing at the crows, he suddenly realized, "Are they talking about me?"
"Yes, Ya Ya said she likes you very much."
Upon hearing the word "like," Xu Yunli's heart skipped a beat, and the tips of her ears turned red.
"Um…"
Xu Yunli paused, looked at Ya Ya, and thanked her earnestly.
"Thank you for your love."
The crow understood, tilted its head, and stretched its head in front of Xu Yunli. Xu Yunli was stunned for a moment, then reached out and gently touched its head.
The crow squinted comfortably.
"You stubborn tsundere!"
Meimei complained.
Nan Shu looked at it and thought to herself, "You little guy, you still have the nerve to talk about other birds."
"Actually, Ya Ya wasn't like this before..."
Meimei changed the subject, her tone becoming somber.
"When Ya Ya was little, she really liked the children in Liu Family Village. She would often secretly hide and watch them play. One day, she was discovered. Ya Ya wanted to go up and play with them, but the children were all scared and hid away, even throwing stones at Ya Ya..."
Meimei explained to Nan Shu in a low voice.
"They say crows are bad birds that eat children, and that in fairy tales they see crows as evil and bringing bad luck."
As Nan Shu listened, her gaze fell on Ya Ya, who was interacting with Xu Yunli.
She could tell that Ya Ya was really happy at that moment.
Are you really that happy just because you were praised?
"Well, the children are young and haven't formed a complete set of values yet... From a scientific point of view, crows eating carrion helps nature accelerate the decomposition of corpses, so as to prevent large-scale accumulation of carrion from causing disease outbreaks."
Nan Shu met the eyes of Ya Ya that were secretly glancing at her and smiled, "So our Ya Ya has always been a symbol of good fortune, from ancient times to the present. Life and death, sometimes, death also represents hope and rebirth."
Ya Ya's eyes lit up, staring intently at Nan Shu: "It will be cloudy!"
It loves to hear that!
Nan Shu chuckled inwardly; what a proud and arrogant little kid.
As Liu Ming drove, watching the heartwarming scene in the back seat, a slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
……
The car drove along the muddy path and ended up right in front of the unfinished building.
get off.
Nan Shu glanced at the unfinished building. Liao Congren's body had been moved away, and the steel bar had been unscrewed. However, some dark brown bloodstains could still be seen nearby.
Just then, a rustling sound came from deep within the dense weeds not far away.
