Chapter 249 You are not smart
A little ocelot took small steps in the forest.
Look here, look there, smell the grass when you encounter it, and run over and stare at the wild flowers in bloom.
After looking at it twice, he turned his head and asked his Nimu what kind of flower it was and whether it was poisonous.
After getting the answer that it was not poisonous, just ordinary flowers and plants, the cat turned back and continued to stare at the flower, and stretched out its pink tongue to lick the stamen.
"Bah, bah, bah."
Mao'er licked her lips, tasted it, shook her head, and turned her head again to ask her Nimu why the flowers weren't sweet. Unexpectedly, there was no one behind her.
But the cat was not in a hurry and looked in another direction——
Sure enough, Ni Mu had already walked in front of her.
The kitten trotted and chased after him.
"Mud Mu."
"Huh?"
"Why aren't the flowers sweet?"
"Flowers are not sweet to begin with."
"But honey is very sweet. Honey is collected by bees from flowers!"
"Master Yoghurt is indeed a capable cat, good at observation."
Li Mu looked down at the kitten at his feet and paused, "But the bees only collected pollen from the flowers. They bring the pollen back to the nest to brew honey."
"Brewed~"
"Yes."
"Just like the chicken and mushrooms you made, they don't taste good at first, but they taste good after brewing!"
"Young Master Yogurt can draw inferences from one instance to other cases, I admire you."
"Yes! I'm very smart!"
When the cat heard the compliment, she was in a good mood. She sprinted and trotted to the front, continuing to fulfill her role as a pioneer.
Carefree, without worries, like a happy kitty fairy.
Li Mu smiled slightly and stepped to follow.
The dense leaves hide the singing birds, and the fragrant wind lingers on the beauties.
The sky in the mountains is quiet, and the calls of various birds sound clearer than in the city, which often makes kittens stop and look up to look for them.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo"
At this time, birdsong could be heard from the tall tree crowns.
The kitten raised its head high, and it didn't take long to locate the chirping bird.
However, before she could decide whether to catch the bird to play with, something fell straight down from the tree crown towards her head.
The cat remained motionless, looking up and staring at the falling object. He didn't see her hiding. He only waited for the object to hit her, then he shrank his head back.
"Crack!"
The object hit the ground next to the kitten's head, shattering all over the place, with egg white and yolk leaking out.
"Hmm"
The kitten lowered his head and smelled it, then continued to look up at the tree crown.
There is a bird's nest on the tree branch, and a bird is standing next to the bird's nest, looking down.
After seeing a cat under the tree, his eyes were obviously flustered, but as soon as he thought he was in a high tree, he felt relieved and poked his head into the bird's nest again. After a while, he pushed another bird's egg down.
The cat squatted under the tree, confused, and turned to look at Li Mu, who had already walked over, "Ni Mu, is this mother bird stupid?"
"Why do you say that?"
"It dropped the eggs!" The cat stretched out its little paw and pointed at the two broken eggs in front of it.
"It's not a mother bird." Li Mu also raised his head and looked at the tree crown. After pushing down two eggs, the big bird had climbed into the nest and sat down.
"Isn't it a mother bird?" The cat looked confused.
"That's right, this bird's nest doesn't belong to it either."
The big bird in the nest has dark gray feathers on its upper body and from its throat to its chest, while its belly and flanks are covered with white narrow horizontal stripes. It is the great cuckoo, also called the cuckoo.
"The bird's nest doesn't belong to it either?" The kitten's expression suddenly became serious, "It's a thief!"
"You can't call him a thief. This is his habit."
"Stealing the mother bird's nest and pushing down the eggs laid by the mother bird is a thief!"
"This kind of bird is called the great cuckoo, or cuckoo. It can't build a nest, nor can it incubate eggs. It's all incubated by the host. It's such a nature."
"This is not good!"
"Of course, Mr. Yoghurt, don't do such a thing." Li Mu said and paused, "But Mr. Yogurt is an upright cat and knows right from wrong. I don't think you need to remind me."
"Yes!" "Let's go, it's time to go home."
"Don't care about the bag bird, meow?"
"Cuckoo."
"Cuckoo~"
"This kind of bird is born like this. During the breeding period, they will find a host, push the host's eggs out of the nest, lay their own eggs, and let the host bird help raise their children."
"How stupid!"
"What's stupid?"
"The mother bird is stupid! She can't recognize that the bird's eggs are not her own!"
"Of course he is not as smart as Mr. Yoghurt." Li Mu pursed his lips and smiled, "But this is another skill of the cuckoo."
"What skills?"
"The eggs it lays will change according to the color of the host bird's eggs."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know the specific principle."
Li Mu said, "Anyway, the eggs it lays will be the same as those of its host. For example, if it hosts a magpie, the eggs it lays will be the same as those of the magpie, so that the magpie will never notice that its eggs have been Changed.”
“It seems very powerful”
"Well, this is the cuckoo's innate ability, just like Mr. Yoghurt is very good at catching mice."
"Hmm."
The cat nodded in understanding, looked at the two broken bird eggs on the ground, and in line with the principle of not wasting, lowered his head and licked them.
"Sir, don't eat the yogurt, it's too dirty."
"Not dirty."
"Stained with dirt."
“It’s just dirt~”
After the kitten finished licking, it raised its head and said, "Let's go."
One person and one cat walked along the return route towards the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Brother Nan is not here, so we have to walk all the way.
Cat shook his head and walked, and suddenly thought of the big cuckoo just now, turned to look at Li Mu, "How come you don't understand the principle?"
"What?"
"The cuckoo lays identical eggs."
"Because knowledge is infinite, and there are many principles in this world that humans have not understood. I am not omnipotent, so it is normal not to know."
"You're not smart!"
"Master Yoghurt is smart, so tell me why?"
"Master Yoghurt, listen to you."
"That's it"
"That's right."
"Let me teach Mr. Yogurt a new idiom."
"What is the idiom of meow?"
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest."
"What do you mean?"
"What you saw just now is that the cuckoo occupies the nest of another bird and lets other mother birds incubate its eggs. This is called a dove occupying a magpie's nest."
“Wine soaked in Nestlé~”
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest."
"The dove occupies the magpie's nest~"
"Yes, dove refers to the cuckoo. The idiom means that it is obviously not one's own residence, but it was obtained by force."
"Hmm"
Cat read softly.
The sun gradually sets in the west and sets behind the mountains, its afterglow dazzling people's eyes.
One person and one cat walked into the small courtyard under the welcome of the Great Sage.
Mao'er has been pestering Li Mu to teach her how to write new idioms.
