Fairy takeaway
Chapter 31 The Story of Spring
After finally finishing a strenuous task, Luo Xiang seemed to be in a good mood.He asked Nok what he was going to do next.It was still early, and if he hurried on his way, he promised to return to Baiye Forest before dinner.
He promised that he would give Yun Ge a roast egg with thick tomatoes. "We have an appointment." He promised, "I told Yun Ge yesterday that I will definitely be able to help him buy thick egg roast today." He thought for a while, and then added in a doggy manner, "Because I Knowing that you will succeed, Little Boss."
The little boss dismissed this clumsy flattery.He chuckled lightly, tapped the lunch box in Ta Nuo's hand with his chin, and said, "By the time you crawl back slowly, the fried egg will be cold long ago. Cold eggs are unpalatable to death."
He Nuo was taken aback, and looked down at the insulated lunch box in his hand.He has never thought about the issue of taste. At the current stage, he can successfully deliver orders to customers, which is already the biggest victory.The insulated lunch box presented by Mr. Song Shi seemed to be of good quality. He Nuo quietly put his fingers in it, and he could still feel the bursts of heat.
"Then what should we do?" He looked up, frowning in distress.Although the order quality does not currently appear in the customer's request list, striving to be the best and pursuing taste rather than pure satiety is the quality that a conscientious takeaway shop owner should possess.
Luo Xiang didn't answer his question directly.He was holding a small white umbrella with one hand, Luo Pangpang, shaking it, and the metal umbrella tip drew a sharp scratch in the air.He paused, pointed to a dark cloud in the sky with the tip of his umbrella, and asked, "Look at that cloud, what does it look like?"
He Nuo was puzzled, raised his head, and looked in the direction of the umbrella tip.That mass of dark clouds was tumbling, like living cotton, and the soft body changed into different shapes, thicker for a while, shallower for a while, and finally settled in a strange long strip shape.
Tano opened his mouth wide in surprise, and replied honestly: "Like a small dried fish." A huge small dried fish, it looks very crispy and delicious.He Nuo subconsciously smacked his lips.
Luo Xiang nodded in satisfaction.He looked at Ta Nuo and said, "Go back early."
The little boss rarely said a soft exhortation in a good mood.He patted the lunch box in Ta Nuo's hand lightly with his hand, pursed his lips and laughed.
He Nuo seemed to understand, but also seemed to be dazed.He nodded foolishly.
He Nuo and Luo Xian parted ways on the way.The rain gradually weakened and finally stopped slowly.He Nuo carried an insulated lunch box full of tomatoes and thick eggs, stepped on the muddy road, tried to speed up his pace, and returned to the direction of Baiyelin.He wanted to send the thick egg to Yun Singer while it was hot as soon as possible.
The louver forest is like a sponge soaked in water, dripping wet everywhere.He nuo wiped the water droplets all over his body, pushed aside the branches with difficulty, and walked forward.He was a little worried about the thick egg in his hand, because he couldn't feel the temperature inside at all.
When Tanuo came to the open grass in the south of the fennel forest, Yun Ge was practicing a new song.This is a brand new track, which he has never heard before.He didn't interrupt Yunge Wangqing's rehearsal, but squatted in the grass beside him, holding his lunch box and resting his chin, listening quietly.
Yun Ge was very devoted to singing, and didn't notice the new audience at all.He fluttered his wings and seemed to be dancing strange dance steps, his body was like a small spinning top, hovering in mid-air.His singing voice is sweet and melodious, the melody is tinkling, singing low and high, tactful and tender, more moving than the sound of the first ray of living water falling in spring.
He Nuo admired in his heart, showing an obsessed look.
After Yun Ge sang a song, she didn't stop dancing immediately, but continued to stay in mid-air, and didn't recover for a long time, as if she was still immersed in her own singing.
He Nuo squatted and waited for a while, his legs were numb.He thought of the thick fried egg in his arms, and decided not to wait any longer.He stood up slowly, carefully thinking about his words, trying to get Yun Ge's attention as politely as possible.Before he could think it over, he took a step forward absent-mindedly, and accidentally stepped on a live rock, his feet were empty, and he fell to the ground with an oops.
Yun Ge snapped back to his senses, and was startled, the gray feather crest on the top of his head stood up high, and his eyes were wide open, staring at the visitor in horror.
He Nuo faced the ground and fell hard.The hard lunch box made his chest hurt.He Nuo struggled to get up, rubbed his cheeks, his eyes were flushed.
Only then did Yun Ge recognize his friend, and hurriedly flew over, chirping to ask him if Nuo is okay.
He Nuo sat down in the wet grass, calmed down for a while, and then raised his face.His face was covered with muddy water, he breathed heavily while comforting Yun Ge.
"I brought you thick eggs to burn." He Nuo wiped his hands vigorously on his coat, and after making sure that his hands were not stained with muddy water, he reached out and handed out the insulated box in his arms. "It's a pity that I just fell down, and I don't know if the tomato thick egg is still good." He Nuo was very worried.Thick eggs may have been cold, as the little boss said, cold eggs are not good.If it falls like this again, the inside may be finely shattered, and the original appearance of the food will not be seen at all.
He felt a little sad.If only I hadn't been so rash.
Yun Ge didn't care.He promised to fulfill his promise in such a short period of time, and he was very grateful to send him thick egg burnt. "It's all my fault. It was my order that caused you to fall. No matter what the thick egg roast looks like, I believe it will still be delicious."
In order to determine the loss, the two good friends chose a fairly dry ground, sat on the ground, got together, and carefully lifted the lid of the lunch box.
Mr. Song Shi's packaging is very thick, even if it is knocked on a rough stone, the lunch box will not be damaged.To his surprise, after the lunch box was opened, the thick tomato omelette was intact. The golden omelet was faintly pink, and the fresh tomato juice slowly permeated, and it was even steaming. It smelled delicious. As delicious as a thick omelet just out of the pan.
Yun Ge exclaimed in surprise: "That's it! It's exactly the same as what I remember. Thank you so much, Ta Nuo!" He patted Ta Nuo's shoulder lightly with his wings, expressing his gratitude.
He Nuo still didn't come back to his senses.When he peeked at it before, he obviously found that the thick egg burnt had begun to cool down, and the shape began to collapse with the passage of time, and he didn't want to be as full as it is now.What's going on?After such a long time, not only is the thick egg roast not completely cooled, but it is as fresh as it was just out of the pan?
He thought hard for a long time, and vaguely felt that maybe he was lucky.
Yun Ge was very happy, jumping up and down on the lunch box. "In this way, I can give it to my friend in good condition." With a happy expression on his face, he raised his little head and made a clear and sweet chirping sound.
Putting aside the confusion in his heart, he quickly became curious again. "I heard you say before, is your friend a Shrike?"
Yun Ge lowered his head, flapped his wings, and nodded slightly, as if a little embarrassed.
It's not unusual for a skylark and a shrike to be friends.All monsters and animals in the woods know that the Shrike is a rather violent bird.Although they are small in size, they have the personality of birds of prey, and are keen on slaughtering and hunting like falcons.Humans call this bird the butcher bird.
He Nuo once saw with his own eyes a ferocious Shrike stick a huge bloody wild rabbit on a sharp branch to store food.The bloody scene was so vivid that he was worried and afraid for a long time. When he was sleeping at night, he always felt that a shrike would break into the door and catch him, skin him and eat his meat.
The larks are completely different. Although they look gray and not very eye-catching, their singing is enough to heal all living beings and bring lively notes to the earth. They are quite gentle birds.
He Nuo couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.
As if seeing through his Nuo Wuyan's incomprehension, Yun Ge hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly, sharing her story with him.
Yunge's shrike friend is named Kong, who has grown into a spirit and lives in the west side of the Baiye Forest. It is a fierce and capable gray shrike.They met on a charming spring day, and it was drizzling like today.
"We've all just come back from the south, and most of the birds like us are busy building nests for the intense breeding season ahead. I haven't matured yet, and neither did I. I'm here In a piece of grass, the space I met."
Yun Ge's friends were all hiding in unknown corners, hurrying up to practice.They need to polish the most beautiful song in a short period of time, so that they can show off their singing voice at the blind date meeting, shine brightly, attract the most charming opposite sex, and form a good relationship with themselves.Larks with the most beautiful singing voices are often able to give birth to offspring first, so that their excellent genes can be continued.
And Yun Ge is no different from the one who attracts the most attention among their peers.Even in the young bird period, Yun Ge has already shown his excellent talent. His singing can make the clouds in the sky stop, and the fish in the water linger.The skylarks rumored that Yunge would definitely defeat all opponents at the blind date meeting and marry the most beautiful skylark bride.
Yun Ge was not very interested in this.He likes to sing, but he never regards singing as a means of attracting attention and highlighting himself. He just enjoys the pure and beautiful freedom of singing.As for the most beautiful bride, Yun Ge didn't care too much, because...
"I'm face-blind." Yun Ge jumped up and said with some embarrassment.
"Ah?" He Nuo frowned, not quite understanding.
Yun Ge explained patiently: "To put it simply, I can't tell the difference between different birds very well. Unlike other birds, which can easily determine beauty and ugliness, I can't. To me, everyone They are all the same, you and I are the same, as long as we are birds, we all have a pair of wings and a pair of eyes, there is no difference in appearance."
This "flaw" once brought Yunge a lot of trouble.It took him a lot of effort to find his friend among the gray furs.He will never be able to join the topic of his partners, and his lack of judgment on beauty and ugliness makes him isolated from his peers, and it is difficult to find a sense of participation.He also suffered malicious ridicule for this.
So what if you can sing?Yun Ge is a fool.They laughed like this.
Yun Ge could not refute.It seems to be the nature of birds to seek beauty and avoid ugliness, just like larks admire beautiful singing, this instinct helps them reproduce better offspring.But Yun Ge did not agree with such a principle from the bottom of his heart.Perhaps it is true that bird populations are better able to continue and grow because of this.But should birds that stray outside the norm be eliminated?If they don't care about the continuation of their offspring, and just want to live their own life freely, without hindering others or complaining about others, it doesn't seem to bring any bad things.In a sense, Mother Nature just chose another more gentle way to eliminate him.
Yun Ge, who has such a weird idea, is not as addicted to the blind date game as his friends.He is not devoted enough to group life, and studies singing every day just to make himself happy.He is so leisurely and self-sufficient in his life, accepting the fate that he will leave alone one day.
Until that day, the predestined day, he met the fate in his life.
He saw a bird, a bird of immense beauty—yes, beauty.For the first time in Yun Ge's life, she realized beauty through her own eyes instead of the judgment of other birds.
He Nuo's eyes widened, and he asked in a low voice, "Is he your friend?"
Yun Ge raised her wings, sweeping away the blush that didn't exist on her cheeks.He nodded slightly, and a series of pleasant grunts came out of his throat.Even just recalling the scene of that day made him feel happy.
He Nuo also became happy. "Is that so?" said he. "That's wonderful!"
However, Yun Ge's expression quickly dimmed, and he was not as radiant as before.He seemed to be troubled, jumping up and down on the lunch box, unable to calm down.
He promises to feel sorry for his friend.He didn't know what happened, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. "It's okay, you give Kong delicious thick eggs, everything will be fine." He said, patting his already deflated belly.
There are no feelings that cannot be redeemed with good food.he thought so.
Yun Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.Humming a cheerful tune, he circled quickly in the air and returned to his side. "You're right," he said loudly, "my friend, thank you! It's a pity that we can't continue talking today. It's getting dark soon, and I have to hurry up and give my friend the thick egg burnt, Before it cools off. Another day, when I succeed, I'll come back and share my story with you again."
He Nuo nodded vigorously.
Yun Ge lifted the lunch box, flapped his wings, and flew to the west of the forest quickly.His small figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
He Nuo rubbed his eyes and walked home in the dark night.He looked up inadvertently, and found that the strange cloud was still following him during the day.Against the black night, this cloud is like a small gray fish, swimming in the vast sky.
whirring whirring—
Confused, he looked up at the cloud.After a long time, he lowered his head, rubbed his neck, and muttered, I see, I will deliver the dried fish tomorrow.
Lots and lots of small dried fish.
He promised that he would give Yun Ge a roast egg with thick tomatoes. "We have an appointment." He promised, "I told Yun Ge yesterday that I will definitely be able to help him buy thick egg roast today." He thought for a while, and then added in a doggy manner, "Because I Knowing that you will succeed, Little Boss."
