Scenery Open the window, and the spring scenery on the roadside comes into view. In March, when the vegetation is in full bloom, the breeze brings the fragrance of wild flowers on the roadside to the bottom of people's hearts, which is refreshing.
A bird that had landed on the tree flew past Qi Mu and landed on her hand. The bird had gray feathers, but the tips of its tail feathers were dotted with white. A crisp voice, very cute.
Fengjing's fingertips touched its small head, and Qi Mu's voice came from ahead, "This is a cuckoo bird."
"Really?" She lay on the window, watching carefully the little guest who suddenly landed on her hand, "If it wasn't for the prince, I'm afraid I would treat him as a sparrow."
Qi Mu laughed and said, "Sparrows are quite different from cuckoos, both in their voices and habits."
"Habits?"
"Miss Xia, do you know what the original intention of the dove occupying the magpie's nest is?"
"Some birds don't build nests when they are born. When it's time to give birth, they push out the eggs in other birds' nests, and then lay their own eggs, which are hatched by other birds."
"That's right, and those birds that don't build nests also include cuckoos."
"oh?"
"Cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of certain species of birds, and rely on their adoptive parents to hatch and raise their chicks. Not to mention that adult cuckoos will remove the host's eggs, and because cuckoos hatch earlier than other birds, the young will share the same nest. The host's eggs and chicks are pushed out of the nest to increase their competitiveness."
Fengjing's hands trembled, and the bird that landed on her hand flew away, and she said unexpectedly: "Even the young chicks..."
"Whether people or animals know how to live by sacrificing others, nature has given birth to all kinds of life, but no matter whether they are high or low, they all have something in common. It's amazing, isn't it?" The last question, with a touch of sarcasm .
Even if she didn't look at Qi Mu, Feng Jing knew that his expression at this time might be a half-smile, and she was momentarily stunned.
The carriage stopped, "Miss Xia, we're here."
The barren hills are not called barren hills, but since a certain day there have been rumors of tigers hurting people, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, no one has come here, so it has become a barren hill with only flowers and trees left, and the house on the top of the hill has also become a barren hill. A deserted house.
The house covers a large area, ignoring the weeds that grew due to neglect, and you can vaguely see how brilliant the house was back then.
Standing at the door, Feng Jing felt a little sad about the changes of the years. The door of the house was not closed, and the courtyard room inside could be seen at a glance. The most eye-catching thing was the tall locust tree.
Qi Mu lowered his head and said to Feng Feng: "Miss Xia, let's go in."
She nodded and stepped in. To be honest, she must be afraid to come to such a desolate place alone, but with Qi Mu by her side, she felt much more at ease in her heart. Finally, Feng Guang saw a thin but handsome man in a yard that was almost occupied by weeds, she looked back at Qi Mu again, and sure enough, they were indeed two brothers, they were at least three or four points alike.
"You're finally here, Ann..." Qi Duan saw Qi Mu, "Why are you here too?"
Qi Mu smiled, "Of course I came to see how you are doing, brother."
"Except for not being rich and well-fed, I am doing well."
"That's good, as a brother, I can rest assured."
They were originally enemies vying for the position of the son, but now they are chatting calmly, it seems that old friends meet each other, chatting a few words out of interest.
Qi Duan said: "Father and mother, are they all right?"
"Father has recently committed an old problem again, and he is recuperating at home. Mother went to the Inspiration Temple to pray for the father. Qi Duan, my good brother, without you to play chess with me, I feel very lonely for my brother." Qi Mu shook his head. sigh.
Qi Duan clenched the hand beside him.
