As soon as the black crane in Wang Bo's arms screamed, a similar sound sounded from the reeds not far away: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Hearing this sound, Lao Wang subconsciously took a breath: the black crane hatched the crane eggs, and now there should be a baby crane in the crane nest!
The reason why we guessed it was a baby crane rather than an adult crane is that black cranes are particularly alert birds. If they could fly, they would fly away as soon as they sensed any disturbance.
Now Wang Bo only heard the sound of cranes croaking but no cranes flying. It was obviously a small crane that could not fly yet.
But the next scene destroyed his guess. Hearing the sound of cranes, the strong man immediately got into the deep dry reeds. The rapid and high-pitched cranes roared next. The strong man staggered out, holding another one in his mouth. Just a big crane...
"F*ck!" Lao Wang's eyes were bigger than crane eggs. Is this strong man a magician? Why is he using magic tricks to grab the mysterious crane
This crane was a little smaller than the one in his arms, but only a little. It was obviously an adult crane, not a newly hatched baby bird.
At first, he thought that the female bird in his arms was just leaving the eggs to incubate, and that the male bird and the crane group had left. But apparently he was wrong, as both the pair of black cranes stayed behind.
As for why the crane behind didn't fly away, the reason is very simple. Wang Bo looked at it with the light of his mobile phone and found that the crane's two legs were seriously fractured!
The Black Crane is a slender bird with a pair of beautiful legs. Their beautiful legs are not only used for looking beautiful, but also for walking and ejection before flying. Without the support of the legs, they cannot fly.
After picking up the two cranes, Wang Bo pushed aside the dry reeds. With the help of Zhuang Ding, a small guide, he quickly discovered a bird's nest composed of withered grass and dry moss.
As he expected, there were two crane eggs of the same size in the bird's nest. The egg shells were green-red with dots of dark spots on them. They were the eggs of black cranes.
Wang Bo then had two guesses. One was that the female of the pair of black cranes laid eggs while passing through the village during migration. She had to stay behind to incubate the eggs, and the male also stayed behind to guard her.
The second is that the female crane somehow broke her leg when migrating to the surrounding area and had to stay here until she laid eggs. The male bird never left and guarded it.
The crane with the broken leg is a female bird because she is responsible for incubating the eggs.
Regardless of the guess, Wang Bo had to take away the Xuanhe family. Even if the female bird was not injured, he couldn't let them stay here. It was not only cold but also lacked food.
Both black cranes are in an environment of lack of food and clothing, especially the male crane. It is an adult bird. It is estimated to be more than one meter long, but at most a little more than two kilograms. The body fat has been almost consumed. If it continues to survive, it will not be able to survive. To freeze to death is to starve to death.
So on the other hand, the strong man is still the life-saving dog of this crane.
Of course, Xuanhe's mother had no such idea. She was staring at the man and the dog with resentful eyes.
Wang Bo is not as experienced as Xuan He, so he will be a little depressed now. He looked at the strong man and muttered: "Tell me, what should I do now? How to deal with this bird?"
The best way to solve the problem for this family of four is to hand it over to the relevant departments, but he can't trust the relevant departments because they just ate one last year.
Not thinking of a good idea, Wang Bo temporarily put the two cranes and eggs into the grass outside the castle. It is summer in New Zealand at this time, the climate is warm, and this location is safe, so it can be used as a temporary residence for black cranes.
In order to protect Xuanhe, he let the young man go back, and warned the young man not to bully the two cranes again in the future.
The strong man was very clever. After Wang Bo put it back, it lay down at the gate of the castle. It looked like a black crane guard.
They didn't sleep long after returning home. The whole family woke up at four o'clock in the morning. Bo's mother was preparing to serve dumplings, while Lao Wang called each one to wish them a happy New Year.
As a result, he had just made a call when Charlie's call came in: "Hey, hey, Wang, I have to tell you some good news!"
"What's the news? Someone is investing in the town again?" Lao Wang asked expectantly.
Charlie said excitedly: "No, I don't know what happened, but a white-headed crane came to the castle! Yes, you heard it right, a white-headed crane came to the house! What is it called? The white crane is coming to the house in the new year, which is a good sign, right? ?”
The white-headed crane is the scientific name of the black crane. The Japanese also call it the nun crane because their posture is elegant and generous, like a Western nun.
"What, the bald crane entered the castle?" Wang Bo was stunned.
Charlie continued to shout excitedly: "Yes, bald crane, a bald crane has come to the castle. It is staying in the hall now. I will take a photo for you later! I know you must be unbelievable, In fact, when I saw it after getting up, I had the same reaction!”
It's not that Wang Bo didn't believe it, but he was speechless. One of the Bald Crane couple had a broken leg and the other had a damaged wing. How could they still run into the living room
He opened the sand table and zoomed in on the castle, and then he saw a black crane lying in the living room. It was the male bird that the young man had caught at the beginning. It was lying obediently in the center of the nest.
Charlie sent him photos, and then called back to continue to be excited: "Did you see it? I dare to swear to God, this is definitely not mine!"
"My God, it's like a fairy tale. On your New Year, your fairy birds fly to the castle. What does this mean? Let me think about it with my No. 8 mind. Is our town going to go to heaven?"
In Chinese mythology, the black crane is indeed a kind of fairy bird. Cui Bao of the Jin Dynasty's "Ancient and Modern Notes on Birds and Beasts" said: "A crane turns pale when it is a thousand years old, and turns black when it is two thousand years old. It is also called a black crane." They also appear in the fourth chapter of "Journey to the West": "The ancient road back to Luan is still quiet, even the wind and moon listen to the mysterious crane."
In addition, there is an idiom in China called Turtle Life and Crane Life, in which the crane refers to the black crane.
Charlie's voice was a little too loud and scared the white-headed crane. Wang Bo saw from the sandbox castle that the big bird got up, flapped its wings, trotted two steps and flew gracefully.
This made him a little shocked, because the bald crane's wings were obviously badly bitten by a strong man last night. How could it fly in just a few hours
He looked more closely and found that both the white-headed cranes could provide Lord energy, much more than the cows, sheep, chickens and ducks in the pasture.
Wang Bo was thinking about the changes in the white-headed crane. Dad Bo came over and called him: "Son, come out quickly and set off firecrackers. After setting off the firecrackers, eat dumplings, and then let's go to pay New Year's greetings. It's the beginning of another year!"
On his way to pay New Year's greetings, Charlie called him again, his voice even more excited: "Snow! Snow! Snow! My God, King, you must not have imagined what happened! You must think I'm crazy." !”
Wang Bo had no choice but to open the sandbox and watch the castle again, and then he saw two bald cranes running into the hall this time.
The male bird has now returned to normal and is walking gracefully around the center of the nest, while the female bird is lying on the ground, quietly closing her eyes and relaxing.
The message Charlie sent back to him was the same: "Wang, my man, that bald crane just flew over with another one in its grasp. You'd better come back quickly, otherwise you will definitely miss this unforgettable scene! Two It’s just a bald crane. Is there such a bird in New Zealand? I’m going crazy! What kind of good sign is this? We are not going to heaven, we are going to heaven!”
