"Where have you been?!"
After causing a sensation in the terrestrial bird house, Ah Fei left gracefully and returned to the macaw house.
As a result, as soon as she got into the small square hole, she was blocked by Alan.
The blue-and-gold macaw has round eyes that look a little dull at first, but his voice is sonorous and powerful when he speaks.
"I saw you running to the other side! What's going on? Why are you running around for nothing? Are you crazy? Can't you just stay here? Don't cause trouble to humans!"
Since his left leg was injured by the anklet, Alan didn't dare to stay on the iron pole for too long, so he had to fly around from time to time.
Ah Fei originally thought it was good. Birds should fly more and it would be good to exercise them.
Now it's better, it's like there's a piece of blue-yellow gummy stuck to the back, and I can't shake it off.
After circling the small macaw house five times, Ah Fei suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Ah Lan.
"What does it matter to you where I went?"
She didn't want to play the little game of chasing each other anymore, and her straightforward words hit her like a cannonball.
Explode the false beauty.
"You still don't understand what this place is? How did you hurt your foot? You can only stay in a small area. Who restricted it?
"What you think is the most delicious thing - is actually just shriveled grains! Human beings use various means to control you and make you trapped here. You can't go anywhere and can only be watched by others!
"You keep saying those two words 'Hello, thank you!' over and over every day, but you still think you have special abilities and enjoy it? Wake up! If you want to die here forever, that's up to you! Just don't drag me along! ”
Ah Fei was really a little angry.
She understood that Alan's thoughts were different from hers, and she did not intend to forcefully convince him. She just wanted to wait for him to wake up one day.
It turns out it's impossible.
Alan's brain seemed to be completely rotten. After being injured, he still wanted to speak for humans and asked her to "be good".
Simply sick!
Ah Fei became extremely angry when she thought of the words "Don't cause trouble to humans!"
If she hadn't still had a trace of kindness left, she would probably beat Alan to death right now.
The entire macaw house fell into silence.
Ah Fei flew back to her seat and buried her head in her wings to rest.
The other birds did not dare to speak at all, and stood on the crossbar as if they were petrified.
I don't know whether he was shocked that Ah Fei "lost control and went crazy", or whether he finally realized something was wrong with the zoo.
It's not yet eight o'clock, and the park has not yet opened to welcome tourists. Ah Feiwu has fallen into a deep sleep, and the right side of the first row of iron bars is always empty.
A blue-and-gold macaw flew to the thick tempered glass, tentatively stretched out its giant beak, landed on it and tapped it.
"Da" and "Da" twice, without moving at all.
Even if more force is applied, the effect is the same. The glass is much harder than imagined.
"Boundaries" are too special.
When you are in it and have not yet touched the edge, you feel nothing at all.
But once you sense its presence, you can no longer ignore it.
Ah Fei didn't care how much the impact on Ah Lan's heart was, and she didn't bother to talk to the other four blue and gold macaws.
When the evening time came and the lights in the garden were turned off, she left the Macaw Parrot House in a familiar way.
The first negotiation object is Bai Yu.
He has personally experienced being "forced to be separated from his relatives" and must have a deep hatred for the zoo.
Because of this, he was too pessimistic and did not dare to expect too much.
However, Ah Fei doesn’t think the problem is big.
After all, the source of security can be transferred. As a friend - she arbitrarily applied this label.
As a friend.
She is willing to use her own strength to protect him.
As for the second negotiation target...
Ah Fei stretched her wings and stopped flying.
She was born once, twice maturely, and three times. She easily pecked open the blades of the small fan, and then got in through the square gap.
There is a towering tree planted in the middle of this venue, and other areas are covered with layers of boulders, with the top roof in a mesh shape.
The overall area is much larger than the Macaw Pavilion.
Look around.
Some climbed on the branches with their feet and hung down easily, dangling from time to time.
Some were lying lazily on a big rock, their tails wagging back and forth.
This is the macaque house.
In Ah Fei's opinion, they might be able to communicate better if they are lively and active.
She decided to choose one to chat with first.
"Hi."
At that time, Mimi had just picked up a lot of weeds and carefully approached another macaque, preparing to take advantage of the other macaque's sound sleep——
All thrown in her face.
However, a sound that he had never heard before suddenly fell on his ears. Mimi was so frightened that he loosened his grip and the weeds fell to the ground in advance.
The plan failed perfectly.
"Who!"
The petite macaque first quickly moved away, then looked around angrily.
"Who was playing a prank just now? Stop pretending and come out right away!"
She actually felt a little guilty.
Tonight's plan of action is to prank the adult macaque who calls himself "Mom".
If you are seen by other macaques, you will inevitably have a long-winded meal——
But none of them knew that he was just a thief! Not her mother!
Even if you talk, you won't be trusted.
The more she expressed resistance, the more naughty and ignorant she appeared in the eyes of the other macaques.
Mimi was very sad.
She really wanted to leave this crappy place as soon as possible.
"Hello, this is the first time we meet. My name is A Fei."
The red and green macaw flew out from behind the big tree at the right time. This time it was considered that it had mastered the communication skills. The first sentence started with self-introduction.
"Oh, my name is Mimi... No! Why are you here? Where did you come in?"
Mimi answered subconsciously, and immediately realized something was wrong. She stepped back and asked cautiously.
Mimi is a juvenile macaque.
The body is less than fifty centimeters long, and the red and green macaw in front of her is almost twice as long as her.
Instinctively feel uneasy and want to avoid.
Seeing the little monkey retreating again and again, his back was almost covered with tempered glass.
Ah Fei blinked his eyes in confusion, flapped his wings twice and leaned forward, saying frankly:
"I came in through a small hole...Are you afraid of me? I have no intention of harming you?"
"You, don't come here!"
During the day, Mimi always used to lie on the big rocks and bask in the sun. Sometimes she would notice the Macaw Parrot House diagonally opposite.
Compared with the macaque family, which are generally brown, gray, and brown, macaws have brightly colored feathers, which are indeed beautiful.
The red and green King Kong at the front was the largest, and Mi Mi was quite comfortable admiring it from a distance.
Until the other party appeared in front of her——
Beauty is beautiful.
That huge curved beak looked quite dangerous. If she was hit on the head, she would probably rush to the west on the spot.
What’s even more frightening is that the macaw can fly, so even if she jumps to the top of the tree, she can’t escape!
Oh my God!
Is there any way to survive?
"What do you want from me?"
Mi Mi said softly, while sounding the tenth level alarm in her heart. She folded her paws against her chest.
The body is getting smaller and smaller, almost turning into a ball, just hoping that the wind will blow and it will automatically roll away.
Roll as far away as possible.
Ah Fei: "..."
What's going on?
Does she think she has a pretty good temper?
Why are the little monkeys so scared?
The red and green macaw no longer flew forward, but chose to fold its wings and fall to the ground.
"I want to ask, are you eager to leave the zoo and return to nature?"
Ah Fei had originally considered——
Should we use euphemistic words to test the other party's attitude first, and then introduce the topic step by step?
Later I thought about it and let it go.
It's better to go straight in and do it neatly, not to mention, she doesn't have a coy temper.
"Mimi, you live opposite the macaw house. You should have seen the chains on our feet, right? In the past few days, a parrot's ankle became inflamed and ulcerated, so humans took off the chains for us.
"And you, your range of activities is so small, even there is only one tree, so it's not enough, right? Don't you want to escape?"
Ah Fei said whatever came to her mind.
After she finished speaking in one breath, she looked at the vigilant little monkey in front of her, and her tone became soothing:
"What do you think?"
Mimi blinked her big watery eyes, raised a small paw to touch her nose, and her long tail hanging behind her was swaying wildly.
Clearly thinking.
Eh?
Does this macaw appear to be non-hostile?
Doesn't look like he's going to bite her?
After a while, Mimi stretched out her two paws, roughly making a certain shape, imitating human movements, and complained:
"People always like to point a dark object at me. No matter if I climb a tree or roll over a rock, I can't escape. I don't like this feeling very much."
Before Ah Fei could express the same opinion, Mimi's thinking was extremely wild and she quickly switched to another completely unrelated topic.
"I can understand what you said. I really want a tree that belongs only to me... Oh, by the way, Ah Fei, can you beat her up for me?"
She raised one of her forelimbs and pointed at a sleeping adult macaque, the target of her previous failed prank plan.
"If you are willing to help me, you will be my good friend! If you ask me to do something later, I will agree!"
Ah Fei was confused for a moment. Has her identity changed into a professional beater?
Not long ago, the black-necked cranes who bullied Bai Yu were taught a lesson, and now...
But Ah Fei's sanity is still online.
It is absolutely undesirable to hit a monkey you don’t know rashly.
She asked a series of questions:
"Who is this? Your mother? Or your father? Why are you beating up other macaques when you have nothing to do? Even if you have conflicts, you can only resolve them yourself. I can't help you."
"Bah! She is not my mother!"
Mimi suddenly stood up straight, no longer looking slightly frightened as before, and even bared his teeth, showing his anger.
"She's a thief!"
Ah Fei: "?"
Big gossip from heaven?
Is this something she can listen to?
Mimishu was so angry that he couldn't care less about the sharp beak of the macaw and took the initiative to take a few steps forward to get closer to Ah Fei.
She recounted the past angrily.
"My mother is a single mother. She had a hard time raising me on her own. She was often bullied by other macaques and even had food taken away from her. If she couldn't beat me, she could only run away with me.
"Later, a stronger female macaque came up. She had no children and snatched me away!* Not long after, we were taken to this zoo by humans..."
Mimi paused for a moment and explained:
"Macaques can smell their mother's scent. She is not my mother. I hate her so much!"
Ah Fei was a little embarrassed for a moment.
It's not that I don't believe what Mimi said, it's just that this situation is different from the intuitive bullying of "Bai Yu is surrounded", it's too complicated.
If an adult macaque beats Mimi, she will rush to help without saying a word.
But the current situation is different, it is considered a private matter.
She is an alien bird.
Who is qualified to interfere?
"To be honest, I really can't get involved in your family's situation."
Ah Fei raised one wing slightly and patted the little monkey on the back. For a moment, she seemed like an old lady and said sincerely:
"Do you still remember the way you came? After escaping from the zoo, you can go find your real mother."
Mimi continued to stare at the sleeping adult macaque, wanting to rush over and beat him to pieces.
It's a pity that due to the obvious difference in body shape, she will only be the one who gets beaten up in a fight.
After listening to what the macaw said, the little macaque raised its paw and scratched its head, and said embarrassedly:
"The woods outside are too vast and dense. I have no way of finding where my mother is. There is a high chance that I will get lost..."
"What?!"
Catching a certain keyword, Ah Fei suddenly raised her voice and seriously approached her to confirm.
"You said there are many trees outside the zoo - is that what you mean?"
"That's right."
Mimi nodded.
Ah Fei originally thought that there were buildings built by humans outside the venue, and huge trucks were traveling back and forth, which was very difficult for those flightless animals to escape.
Now that I think about it, isn’t the forest the best barrier provided by nature?
This is nothing short of a surprise from heaven!
Ah Fei tried hard to calm down her excitement, this time she raised her wings and patted Mimi's forehead.
"You have done a great job!"
There are no lights in the museum.
It can only be illuminated by the moonlight outside.
When the little macaque raised its eyes for a moment, it saw the sharp beak of the bird, and it suddenly had the illusion that it was about to be detonated by a macaw.
Her rationality was disconnected, and before she had time to think, she screamed instinctively and in horror across the screen:
"Ah - don't peck me!!!"
Ah Fei: "...?"
Hello?
Are you okay?
(End of chapter)
The author said: *Single female monkeys robbing their children is a real thing.
I forgot which documentary it was from, but the specific plot is that B took away A’s child and ran to the high-voltage tower, carrying the little monkey around, as if he was ready to throw it away at any time.
A was so nervous that I was almost scared to death outside the screen... Fortunately, I got it back in the end and no tragedy occurred.
