"Ah, someone is coming! Someone is coming!" The voice continued to sound. Wang Bo was stunned. He could easily tell from the sand table that it was this little bird that made the voice!
It still felt like that. The voice was crisp but the tone was awkward. He zoomed in on the bird's appearance. It had moiré-like feathers, a round head, a short tail, red tail feathers, and a curved beak. It was obvious that it was a bird. A parrot!
Suddenly, Wang Bo understood why the castle was haunted. It was this parrot that was talking in the castle that night!
Also, no wonder Charlie lost a bunch of wild grapes. These are food for parrots, and they were probably stolen by this little guy!
He waved his hand and grabbed the little parrot and brought it to him. The little guy shivered in fear and shouted with his eyes closed: "Ah, ah, ah! It doesn't taste good! Ah, ah, it doesn't taste good!"
In this way, the truth came out that the castle was haunted, and the two of them were frightened by a parrot that night.
You can't blame them for being timid. Who would have thought that there was a parrot in the castle? This is not a species native to New Zealand, and it’s unclear where it came from.
Looking at the parrot's appearance, he wanted to check its identity online.
But the signal on his mobile phone is so bad now that he can hardly make any calls. He finally called Charlie, but before he could speak, Charlie spoke first: "Why can't your phone get through? By the way, you Call me, is it the person in charge of road management from the Traffic Management Bureau and the people from the Australian Leiden Company who are going to repair the road?"
Wang Bo said helplessly: "My mobile phone has almost no signal here, and I called you several times before calling you. Wait, what did you say?"
"OK, I thought the engineering team had arrived at the town. That's right. The government has long wanted to build a road within its territory, connecting Omarama City and Cromwell. The total length of the road is more than fifty kilometers. It is designated as a two-way four-lane road with a width of 12 meters, and a construction team will immediately go to the territory to start work."
This news greatly excited Wang Bo. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. As long as there is a road connecting the two cities, the traffic volume will inevitably increase greatly. After all, further to the southwest is Queenstown, a famous tourist resort in New Zealand. Many tourists must drive from here. go through.
In this way, with traffic flow, shops, hotels, restaurants, etc. can be developed along the way, and slowly the town can develop.
"The biggest good news is, this road is planned to be part of Route 8, you know? Route 8, yes, Route 8! Man, your town is going to have a great future because it's going to have A section of Route 8!" Finally, Charlie broke another piece of good news.
Route 8 is one of the main roads in the South Island. It is known as the most beautiful road in New Zealand. It starts from Timaru and ends in the beautiful small town of Milton. It runs through the central and southern regions of the South Island, passing through plain pastures, rivers and lakes along the way. River valleys, mountains, and roadside scenery are endlessly changing, and it is very famous in the world.
With nothing to do these days, Wang Bo bought a map to study. He knew that there would be more than one highway built in the town, so he had been carefully studying the conditions of the South Island Highway and had a little understanding of Highway 8.
First overjoyed, then doubtful, he asked: "Hasn't Route 8 been in operation for a long time? It connects Omarama and Cromwell, how can we add another section?"
Charlie explained: "It's simple because there is a section of road between Omarama and Lindisvalley that needs to be renovated. This road has been in use for too long. So the council simply decided to build a new section of road to replace the previous one." The old road, that section of the old road will be renamed Highway 8 and changed to Local Highway 84."
In fact, the original plan for Route 8 was not to start from the location of the old road. However, when the road was built, the Roberts family did not allow the road to pass through the territory. The New Zealand Land Transport Authority had no choice but to change the road. route.
In fact, compared with the plain section of Sunset Town, the other section of the road is hilly and has poor geology, which often requires maintenance and repair. Therefore, Sunbuluoshan is now changed to Sunset Town. The New Zealand Parliament decided to activate the original No. 1 plan to build A most reasonable Route 8.
Of course, it's a win-win situation, and Wang Bo can't wait for the day when this highway is completed.
The official approval document for the No. 8 Highway section became a milestone in the construction of the town. Its appearance marked the official start of the construction work of Sunset Town.
After chatting about the road construction news, Charlie asked: "Then why did you call me?"
Only then did Wang Bo remember his original intention and quickly described the appearance of the little parrot in his hand. After hearing this, Charlie laughed: "This is an African gray parrot, with a bright red tail, right?".
He then described the characteristics of the African gray parrot. First, he has a strong speaking ability. Second, he is talented and has a high IQ. He is famous for being good at imitating human speech.
Among the rankings of parrots' speaking ability in the world, African gray parrots always rank at the top. Although they are not impressive in appearance, they have a strong ability to learn to speak and have the highest IQ among parrots.
After finding out the truth about the haunting of the castle, Lao Wang became happy. He hung up the phone to Charlie, opened his palm and let the parrot fly.
Once free, the parrot flapped its wings and flew away. But it didn't go away. Instead, it circled around Lao Wang's head and then pooped...
"Bah!" landed on Lao Wang's shoulder. Seeing this, the parrot was so proud that it flapped its wings and fled while shouting: "Ah, I'll shit you! Ah, ah, I'll shit you!"
Damn it, this little thing is so clever, his IQ is not very high. Lao Wang got interested. He originally wanted to let the little parrot go, so he decided to adopt the little thing.
With another wave of his hand in the sand tray, the little parrot fell into Wang Bo's hand again.
This time it was dumbfounded. It suddenly appeared in someone's hand while flying, and its little walnut-like head certainly couldn't figure out what was going on. Shrunk in Wang Bo's palm, the little parrot's black bean-like eyes widened, and there was a confused expression on the bird's face...
"You are my pet from now on, understand?" Wang Bo looked at it and said.
As a result, he opened his mouth and showed his teeth, and the little parrot struggled hard: "Ah, it doesn't taste good! Ah, it doesn't taste good! Ah!"
Wang Bo laughed loudly, opened his hands, and the parrot immediately flew away again. Then it just flew up and landed in his hand out of thin air. This repeated several times. The little parrot accepted its fate and would not fly away even if he opened his hand.
Lao Wang was satisfied with this. He put the little parrot on his shoulder and said, "Follow me from now on. Do you understand?".
