Bai Yu didn't express much opinion.
Because I can’t tell.
Just come in and stay for a while.
He already had a vague feeling that his throat was pressed tightly by a heavy object and he couldn't breathe.
This place is extremely cramped, with very little light filtering in.
Staying here for only three or two days is unbearable, and staying here for a long time will only lead to serious mental illness.
Bai Yu has seen crazy and sick animals.
It was a thin macaque. He was holding a stone tightly in his hand and smashing it on his head as if he couldn't stop, making a sharp cry from his mouth.
At that time, he did not understand what this kind of "self-mutilation" represented, and turned to ask his father:
‘Isn’t that monkey in pain? ’
The older red-crowned crane stood next to the little white crane, its broad wings tightened, and after a long time he sighed:
'He has collapsed, and this pain...maybe just what he wants. ’
The macaque wanted to kill himself.
Because living is too painful.
Bai Yu finally understood the meaning of his father's words when he heard Ah Fei's words "I will definitely not survive until maturity."
He wanted to say something to her, but he couldn't think of the right words for a while.
Ah Fei was even more depressed and flew slowly around the whole room.
She could even feel that her wings would occasionally brush against the wall during flight.
The long groove that Aunt Ben mentioned is not difficult to find, it is in the corner on the left.
Ah Fei gathered her wings and landed on it, tentatively grabbing the edge with her claws.
She took a slight step forward.
Stand on the other side of the groove.
Directly in front is a square baffle.
Ah Fei tried to push it out but it didn't move.
"White Jade."
She twisted her neck and called him over.
"I need your help."
Ah Fei guessed that this small gap was a window used by humans to put food and grass in, and it should have been pushed in from the outside.
That’s why failure occurs from the inside out.
"Afei."
Brightness in a small room is extremely limited.
Bai Yu walked over almost in the dark.
He took the initiative to bend his neck and get closer to her.
"What should I do?"
Ah Fei thought for a moment, then turned around and jumped into the groove, pulling back and forth several times with her paws.
After a while, she successfully found a small piece of wood, leaned over and picked it up with her sharp beak.
The iron door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, fell apart on the spot with a slight push from the white jade. The wooden basket used to store the grass was also vulnerable.
The red and green macaw grabs the "tool" it wants with its sharp claws.
Ah Fei didn't have time to talk to Bai Yu for the time being.
She flapped her wings slightly, jumped lightly, and jumped back to the side of the barrier.
Now that we have a plan.
Then just implement it.
Ah Fei stretched out one foot, carefully measured the corners of the board, and quickly found a hole that could be drilled.
Then, she lowered her body and poked the small piece of wood in her mouth——
Ah Fei pushed forward with all her strength.
It was hard to push out a small gap.
However this is far from enough.
She prompted immediately.
I hope the big white crane behind me can receive it.
"Uh! Uh-huh!"
Fortunately, Bai Yu had been silently observing Ah Fei's movements, so he would not miss the message she gave.
He stretched his neck forward and bit into the wood with his beak, which was pointier and longer than a macaw.
Bai Yu was in a higher position, which meant that the lower side of her neck was close to A Fei's head.
The two of them worked together, and it didn't take long for a wider gap to open up.
The light from outside came in little by little.
Ah Fei actually felt an inexplicable sense of tension.
Until a spacious open space appeared in front of him.
Only then did she truly realize——
It symbolizes that the vast world of freedom is within reach.
Thanks to the good eyesight that macaws are born with, and the rich angles at which their eyes can rotate.
Even though no lights were turned on in the garden, Ah Fei could easily see a large area around her.
There is a huge arch diagonally in front, with five square-shaped things hanging on it.
Ah Fei couldn't read human words, but she was able to guess that the content above was "such and such a zoo."
Going further into the distance is an endless mountain.
Connected to the vastness of the sky.
The bright moon and twinkling stars.
Ah Fei was completely lost in thought, staring intently, unable to say a word.
A gust of breeze came from nowhere and happened to brush against her side, causing the feathers to start to sway.
So comfortable.
I really want to run into the arms of the wind.
When the macaw was deeply shocked, Bai He slowly put down the wooden stick in his mouth and propped up the entire baffle.
"How does it look outside?"
The narrow gap is a square, almost a few dozen centimeters long.
Judging from Ah Fei's size, she can get out with a little squeezing.
As for white jade...
He could only hold his neck, half-twisted and half-slanted to look out, and he had to always pay attention to whether the wooden bars would collapse.
It's different from what Ah Fei pays attention to.
The first thing Bai Yu caught a glimpse of was the garden surrounded by iron mesh, which was far away from the circular park where they were, and looked a little bleak.
With the help of moonlight.
He saw rockeries covered with moss, wooden piles lying on the ground, and pits with sparse grass.
What is obvious is that the environment is average.
"Afei."
Bai Yu whispered her name.
"Do you think there is a tiger park over there?"
A few short words turned into a small hammer and hit Ah Fei, causing her to suddenly come back to her senses.
"Oh yes! I have to go and see..."
The macaw stood on tiptoes, carefully stretched out one of its paws, and then moved its body out.
In the last step, she lowered her head and avoided the baffle placed above her.
Even for Ah Fei, it was not easy to get out. Her abdomen was squeezed for a long time.
I feel so depressed.
For a huge white cow, this small gap cannot clear the gap at all.
Every time they bent down to eat grass, even if they borrowed horns to hold up the fence, they could not stretch their necks like white jade to see the scenery outside.
The sun and moon were heavily obscured.
I don't know how long I have been locked up in it.
Ah Fei felt sour in her heart, forcing herself not to think too much, and turned to Bai Yu and said:
"I'll be back in a minute."
"Okay."
Bai Yu stepped back.
Guard this "little door" for her.
Ah Fei flapped her wings and flew forward.
Of course, before approaching the Tiger Garden, she was somewhat unable to suppress the excitement rising in her heart.
Flying up and down.
Stretch freely.
Feel the joy of breaking free from constraints. But the remaining reason reminded her:
Do business first.
Ah Fei had no choice but to slow down, spread her wings flat, and glide to the iron fence.
Fly slowly in a circle.
No tiger has been captured yet.
The gender of the other party is unknown.
It’s not easy for Ah Fei to call her “brother” or “sister” rashly.
"Hi? Are you there?"
"..."
There was silence.
It's as if no animals live here.
Ah Fei hesitated and turned up the volume slightly.
"Hey! I said——"
Before she could finish her words, some strange movements suddenly came from the sunken earth pit on the ground, and dust flew up.
The next moment, under the reflection of the moon, a giant piebald beast sprang upwards, shook its head, and dust flew up for the second time.
Ah Fei: "."
Can this be said?
Looks more childish than Mimi.
"Hmm? What's out there?"
There is not much green vegetation left in the site, so the tiger enjoys its hardships and has nothing to do but play in the soil.
The newly developed gameplay is to bury yourself in it.
Sometimes I just bury myself and fall asleep.
Now a novel "gadget" suddenly appeared, and the tiger was very interested.
He writhed on the ground twice and then stood up, walking with graceful cat steps to the edge of the Tiger Garden.
His hind limbs suddenly exerted force, and his fore limbs grabbed the iron fence. While approaching Ah Fei, he also said leisurely:
"Oh, parrot——"
Before seeing the tiger with her own eyes, Ah Fei was uneasy and wavering between "going there in person" and "just giving up".
After all, the size difference between them was huge, and it would be a simple and easy thing for a carnivorous beast to bite her to death.
Until this moment, Ah Fei became more and more numb and began to doubt his previous judgment.
Where is the prestige?
Why do you look like a stupid guy?
While Ah Fei was observing the tiger, the tiger was also sizing her up.
The Tiger Park covers a large area, but I haven't seen any of the same kind or other animals for a long time.
Brother Hu couldn't remember how long he had been here. He could only witness the collapse of the wooden frames and the withering of the grass in the garden.
In the end, there was only loess left, and even a few splashes made it choke my nose.
The red and green macaw in front of me was flapping its wings and seemed to be in good spirits.
Brother Hu hadn’t talked to each other for a long time. Now he rolled his eyes and said in a non-serious manner:
"Sister, where did you run out from? Did you find the human key? Can you open a lock for me? If you can't open it, just throw the thing in and I will open it myself. You..."
Such a level of talkativeness.
Even if Alan comes, he will have to accept defeat.
"Stop!"
Ah Fei regretted not stepping back earlier, and now calmly distanced herself, "Are you okay?"
As she asked, she used the moonlight to observe the tiger's body, but found that the tiger was not as strong as she had imagined, and his limbs were slightly thinner.
Even...
The bones on the back are high.
There is only a thin layer of muscle on it.
Ah Fei was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"I found a freezer in the ring park over there. There's a lot of meat in it. It's impossible that you haven't eaten it, right?"
Seeing that she kept silent about the "key"-related questions, Tiger turned to ask whether these were available, so he had no choice but to say reluctantly:
"Hey! Is there a possibility that those are eaten by humans themselves?"
Ah Fei was silent the whole time.
Obviously don't believe it.
Brother Tiger keenly noticed her little thoughts, and said "Hi" again, took the initiative to walk to the other side, and used his paws to pull over the food fed by humans.
"Here, you see for yourself."
Ah Fei turned her neck and looked down.
There were only some tiny broken bones on the ground, basically no meat, not even enough to stuff teeth.
"Are you eating...chicken bone?"
She thought of the packaging bags placed on the iron shelf. They were full of leftover scraps and looked extremely cheap.
"Yes!"
Brother Hu answered the call leisurely, quite optimistic, and even joking, "Why else do you think I would be as thin as a telephone pole? Hi!"
Before Ah Fei could ask more questions, Tiger patted the iron fence with the pad of his palm and said earnestly again:
"Sister, how did you escape? I remember that the park opposite was also sealed tightly. Can you give me a trick?
"Let's do this, you ask a question, I answer a question, and after three rounds I ask, do you think this is okay? I really can't stay in this shabby place any longer!
"Do you know what 'physical health, mental disorder' means? Don't look at me being cheerful all day long, brother, I feel miserable and depressed, and I have nowhere to say..."
Ah Fei stopped outside the fence, her eyes gradually becoming unreal, and for the first time, she felt that having excellent hearing was also a shortcoming.
The little bit of "compassion" that originally sprouted was completely wiped out by Brother Hu's verbose nonsense.
Seeing that the tiger could talk until dawn if she didn't interrupt, she had no choice but to intervene:
"I don't have a key, so I forced my way out through a small gap. Since you are also eager to escape as soon as possible, I won't say more. Only after the other animals leave can I come and unlock it for you."
The tiger did not express any objection and fell back to the ground quite happily, kicking up the dirt as he walked.
"Oh! Okay, it doesn't matter who comes first. Anyway, just don't forget me! Oh, what is this? It seems that Brother Xiaohu, I shouldn't die -"
None of the vicious scenes that Ah Fei originally imagined appeared, and the sharp fangs did not bring a strong sense of crisis.
Quite the opposite is true.
All she felt was the noise.
"My name is A Fei."
Ah Fei thought about it and decided to explain to him, "I put you last because of the herbivorous animals. It's too dangerous to go with you. I'm sorry."
She was afraid that the tiger would catch her talking endlessly, so she didn't dare to stay too long this time.
With a flick of his wings, he flew away from the tiger garden in an instant, intending to explore the area where humans usually live.
From a distance, the wind blew a song into the ears of the red and green macaw.
"Good luck~wish me good luck~good luck brings joy and love~"
Ah Fei: "?"
Humans usually hold up rectangular objects and keep "clicking" them, and sometimes they make this sound.
I heard it was a song called "Good Luck Comes", which was widely circulated.
"Good luck to us~ Good luck to us~ Sister! Are you still free tomorrow? Can you come over and chat with me?"
Probably seeing Ah Fei's frozen figure that had stopped flying, Tiger took advantage of the situation to add to the drama.
After all, he was the only one in the huge tiger garden, and it was really painful to be watched by a group of upright-walking primates every day.
Ah Fei: "..."
So broken.
If it weren't for the fact that she had no chance of winning against Tiger, she would definitely give him the same treatment as she beat Alan.
The red and green macaw flew away without looking back.
Naturally, he didn't see the skinny tiger lying on the ground, looking sideways at the moon hanging high in the sky.
He shook his front paws, shook his head, and hummed to himself the tune of "Good Luck Comes".
When you get back to your hometown, how will you fight those wild beasts?
