Chapter 157 It’s not good to lie
The shrike is ferocious by nature, but this is only for the prey it can catch.
Shrikes are quite timid when facing their natural enemies.
But this shrike is different from its kind.
Facing a natural enemy like a cat, which was already suppressed under its paws, not only was it not afraid, but it aroused anger and turned its head hard to glare at the kitten.
However, the cat had already withdrawn its fist.
At this time, she was squatting lazily on the ground, pressing her little cat's paws on it, as if the two punches just now were not hers, and it was like beating a bird, to her, it was like eating and drinking. It is very easy to do in daily life, without any psychological burden, and I don’t care at all.
"Aren't you going to tell me?" Li Mu asked the shrike on the ground again.
"."
Shrike was unconvinced.
Unfortunately, it was unlucky and met Mr. Yogurt.
Mrs. Yoghurt is good at catching mice, and she likes those unconvinced mice the most, because then she can have fun and eat happily.
The same goes for a bird.
Cats specialize in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction.
In the woods far away.
Four little birds stood on the branches of the bush. Instead of flying away, they stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the tree full of bird carcasses.
"Why is there no movement?"
"Didn't the Twolegs find it?"
"Isn't it true that Twolegs can't defeat that bird?"
"No, the little squirrel said Twolegs are very powerful."
"There is also a cat, and that cat is scary too."
Four little birds were chirping when suddenly there was a squawking sound coming from the direction of the tree.
The cry was miserable and painful.
The birds were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other for a few times, looking at each other.
Why does that scream sound like that terrible bird?
Under the thorn tree.
The shrike was still lying on the ground, with a small mangosteen-like cat's paw on its body.
It's just that the feathers all over the body are messy, and there are even a few black and white flying feathers falling on the ground.
Brother Nan picked up one and played with it in his hand.
"Can you tell me?" Li Mu asked Shrike again.
The shrike turned its head towards Li Mu, its eyes no longer full of anger and weak: "I kill so many birds just to eat."
"Just to eat?"
"."
The shrike felt that the cat's claws on its body suddenly became stronger and said quickly: "I also want to see them struggling hanging on the branches and listen to their cries."
Li Mu looked at the shrike on the ground, and guessed this would be the case when he saw the bird carcasses hanging on the branches, which far exceeded the shrike's food intake.
As the saying goes, a hundred people come in all shapes and sizes, and the same applies to the world of birds.
There are tens of billions of birds in the world, and birds with various personalities will naturally emerge. It is not uncommon for cruel and murderous birds to appear.
"So you killed so many birds for fun even though you clearly couldn't eat them all and didn't need to kill them?"
Shrike's body trembled, his dark eyes flashing, "No, I don't want to do that either!"
"How to say?"
"When I was a young bird, I was hunted by a big bird." The shrike thought quickly, "My parents hid me in the bushes near the nest, and they flew out to attract the attention of the big bird."
"We are small, so how can we fight against the big birds? Our parents were captured by the big birds."
Shrike observed the expression of the two-legged beast in front of him, and at the same time found that the cat also lowered its head to look at it, with some sympathy in its eyes, and even loosened its paws to make it breathe easier.
Turns out I love hearing this! Shrike was secretly happy in his heart and continued to speak, his tone was hoarse and sad:
"The big bird caught my parents, but instead of flying away, it ate them in our nest.
"I listened to my parents' screams and didn't dare to make a sound. If the big bird found out, my parents' death would be in vain.
"From then on, I didn't dare to sleep. Whenever I closed my eyes, I could hear my parents' screams.
"I couldn't eat well or sleep well, until one time, I skewered a bird on a thorn and listened to its screams. It was like skewering the big bird that ate my parents on a tree. , after that, I strung a few more. The screams of my parents slowly disappeared, and I slept better and better.
“I did this to avenge my parents and have a good sleep, not for fun!
"But I was still young at that time. I couldn't remember what the big bird looked like, and I couldn't find it. Even if I found it, I couldn't beat it. I could only do this as a way to avenge my parents."
When the shrike saw the cat, its eyes were full of pity for it, and the force on its claws became a little lighter. It flapped its wings a few times, and gradually changed from lying on the ground to squatting on the ground tentatively.
The cat didn't push it down.
The shrike was even more happy inside, but did not show it. There was a look of guilt in his eyes, "Although I wanted to avenge my parents, so I killed so many birds, but after all, I have killed so many birds. If you eat me, I will accept it." Yes, I will never run away.”
After saying that, he quietly looked at the two-legged beast and cat in front of him.
The cat was moved, with eyes full of sympathy and pity, and would never eat it.
The long-haired Two-legged beast was playing with one of its feathers in its hand. Occasionally, it raised its head and looked back and forth between it, the kitten, and the short-haired Two-legged beast. It looked dull and it probably wouldn't eat it.
Shrike turned his attention back to Li Mu.
It seems that the decision of his life or death is still with this short-haired two-legged beast.
It's just that this two-legged beast is very strange. He just looks at me with such a calm expression.
Not as sympathetic as the cat, nor as sympathetic as the dull Twoleg.
His eyes were calm and showed no emotion, and his mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"So that's it." Li Mu said.
The shrike suddenly felt uneasy. He didn't know if what he just said touched the two-legged beast, and he stared at Li Mu closely.
"I don't eat birds."
Li Mu said, "I hope you will do what you said, and from now on you will only hunt prey that you can eat, and no longer hunt for fun at will."
"You, you let me go?!"
"We humans have a saying that God has the virtue of a good life, and there is also a saying that when you turn around, you will always be given a chance to change. You are a wild animal and do not belong to this forest. I only hope that you can really do what you want after you leave. What to say.”
Shrike suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, pretended to be ashamed and acknowledged his mistake, and said with a serious face: "I will definitely do it!"
After saying that, he looked up at the kitten, and the cat released its little paws.
"flutter!"
As soon as his claws were released, the shrike spread its wings and rushed into the sky like a sharp arrow, quickly moving away.
"What did it say? Why was it let go?" Brother Nan stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, raised his head and looked at the sky. The shrike had turned into a small black dot.
"Ni Mu, it's so pitiful." The kitten also looked up and stared, his soft tone full of sympathy.
Li Mu turned around and said to Brother Nan first: "I'll explain it to you in detail on the way home."
Then he lowered his head and looked at the kitten, "Yogurt Master is kind-hearted, but sometimes you have to think more about it. Not all people and animals are as innocent as Yogurt Master and never lie."
"It's wrong to lie!" Mao'er raised his head and stared at Li Mu with a serious look on his face.
"Yes, lying is wrong."
"So you can't lie!"
"Master Yoghurt is a good boy."
"Yes!"
Mao'er puffed up his chest and immediately reacted, "Did Crabweaver lie?"
Li Mu did not answer the kitten's question, but turned to look at a big tree on the right, "Xiao Shuai, stop peeking, come here."
