School Grass - William Castle

Chapter 55 The Curse of the Witch

"I don't listen to your nonsense."

Hua Xiaoyi pursed her lips.

"In fact, under normal circumstances, swans are not mature until they are 3 to 4 years old. The three of them were only one year old when they hatched last year. The current stage is just a relationship between a boy and a girl."

"Oh? How do you know? How do you tell the difference between a whooper swan and a little swan? They are all similar in shape."

"I grew up here, how can I not know. Most of these swans are shipped from abroad. Cygnets and whooper swans are very similar in shape, but if you look closely, the neck and beak are slightly shorter than whooper swans. The way to tell them apart is by comparing the size of the yellow patch at the base of the beak, which extends below the nostrils in whooper swans, and is limited to the sides of the beak base in cygnets."

An Xihao pointed to the shapes and appearances of some swans in the front and back and compared some details.Then he said: "In addition, it is the identification of the sound. The little swan's song is clear and crisp, not like the trumpet-like call of the big swan."

"However, I remember that the book said that in people's minds, swans are the incarnation of pure and faithful love. Generally speaking, once they are paired, they will never leave for life. Is this true?"

Hua Xiaoyi disagrees with An Xihao's love triangle.

"But sometimes there are exceptions. Look at the white swan Xiaobai and the black swan Xiaohei and the Lander goose Xiaohuang under the willow tree in front of you. The three of them have been talking about a 'love triangle' since last week."

"What's a Round Goose?"

Hua Xiaoyi asked curiously.An Xihao seems to be very familiar with these swans.

"The Landes goose is a hybrid, native to the Landes region in southwestern France. It is a long-term cross-breeding of the large Toross goose and the smaller Maserbe goose. It is generally used for down and meat. Raise poultry. But this guy is going after Xiaobai openly."

"Xiaobai, Xiaohei, Xiaohuang? You named them all?"

Hua Xiaoyi looked An Xihao up and down, and felt that this wicked and stubborn guy seemed to have a lot of secrets in his heart, and they were extremely delicate and sensitive secrets, like the crape myrtle petals sprinkled on the water surface, which are soft but can touch the strings on the water surface... …

"I took them. From the moment they were born, I watched them grow up little by little. Did you see it? The black swan with curly feathers, black and golden body, and a fit and elegant body is called Xiao Hei. And the whole body The white swan with pure white feathers, slender and curved neck, and noble temperament is called Xiaobai. Like Xiaohei, it belongs to the genus Swan of Anatidae. In the wild, it mainly inhabits Australia and New Zealand."

Australia?Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaoyi automatically thought of her father who worked there.It's been a long time. Dad has been working in Australia for more than ten years. When will he think of himself in China?

So, she lowered her eyes with a look of loneliness.

"Hua Xiaoyi, do you like Xiaobai or Xiaohei?"

An Xihao sat on the grass, pulled a weed root, and chewed it in his mouth.

"Me? I like them all. But Xiao Hei is my favorite."

Hua Xiaoyi pointed to the black swan cursed by the witch in the middle of the lake.

"Oh... I like it best too."

An Xihao turned his head and smiled at her.A very bright smile, like a magnificent and coquettish red lotus, blooming in an instant.

"Xiaobai is its Snow White, right? It finally got its own princess, so the spell cast by the witch will be lifted, right, An Xihao."

Hua Xiaoyi pointed to the white swan again, her excited little face was puffed with powder.

"I don't know. Maybe it will be more painful when it comes. Maybe the final ending will be miserable. Fairy tales are all deceptive. The mermaid in fairy tales also waited for the prince, but in the end she could only turn into a prince. The foam in the sea has returned to the dark bottom of the sea."

An Xihao bit the grass root and shook his head.
