Relocation Brigade

"How is it doing? Does it get along well with the other one?" Chen Ling asked eagerly without hiding his intentions.

"Not good." Qian Qingliu's eyebrows tightened, "It started looking for you about half an hour after you left, calling at the top of its lungs, calling Chen Ling Chen Ling."

Chen Ling laughed and said, "When I was at home, it never called me by my name."

"It has just changed to a new environment, and it lacks a sense of security. In addition, macaws are very loyal to their owners, and some even become possessive. Your departure made it panic, so I called your name, and I hope you will show up soon. "

Chen Ling opened his eyes happily.

The purple blue parrot was basically with the master at home before, and it was also the master who did the feeding work, and he was only responsible for purchasing bird food and occasionally touching the fur. It was completely unexpected that the little guy would have such deep affection for him.

"Macaws have a high IQ." Qian Qing smiled, "Your one is especially smart."

It is precisely because of its cleverness that she hopes that this bird can stay in the base, "Mr. Chen, I know that the parrot has been fostered in your home for a long time, and you have a deep relationship, but it needs more scientific breeding, and suitable Its living environment. I and the base hope that it will stay here from now on.”

Chen Ling thought of Zhao Xunchang who was still at home looking forward to Xiaolan's return.

Qian Qing's eyes were piercing, and he saw that the young man was reluctant, so he continued to lobby while the iron was hot: "You should know that parrots are monogamous. Once they form a pair, they cannot be separated easily. Although they are both animals, they have emotions and feelings just like people. Chen Sir, you can understand."

"If it is willing, I naturally understand. If it is not willing, then I can't understand your proposal." Chen Ling fought back in the words of the other party, "If it is your family, you will respect its choice."

Qian Qing was stunned for a moment, then rubbed the space between her brows, "Then let's wait and see."

How can animals escape their natural instincts.

She didn't think the macaw would drop everything and go back with the youth after finding such a perfect tropical-like living environment and mate.

After finishing the meal in twos and twos, Qian Qing wiped his mouth and stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

The purple-blue parrot was still in the breeding room. When the two arrived, it was hiding in the cabin with its new friends, with only a few long tail feathers exposed.

And under these tail feathers, there are several other darker ones.

"So fast!" Qian Qing was surprised, and quickly walked to a screen next to the gate.

There are nine grids distributed on the screen, and what is broadcast is the real-time monitoring of the breeding room.

Chen Ling quickly captured a picture, the slightly smaller one in their family was actually stepping on the back of the female parrot, commonly known as stepping on the back.

After stepping on the back, it means that the most intimate behavior between the two parrots is over, and then they can wait quietly for the female to lay eggs.

Seeing that the astonishment on Qian Qing's face was still there, Chen Ling asked strangely, "Isn't this good?"

"Okay, of course." Qian Qing moved the cursor on the screen to zoom in on the screen, and reconfirmed that the two little guys in the wooden house were indeed mating.

"I just didn't expect that the relationship between them would develop so quickly." Her eyes were sparkling, full of excitement, "This female is very proud. During the first two years of estrus, we transported her by air. to breeding grounds elsewhere in search of mating and fertilization."

Chen Ling grasped a key word—arrogance, and guessed: "It doesn't want to?"

"Yes." Qian Qing said helplessly, "They also have their own selection criteria and temper, and they will not compromise easily, just find one of the same kind to form a family. That's why I was so surprised just now..."

She stopped as she spoke, as if she was thinking of words, "I can only say that the male parrot you sent is very attractive."

"Maybe." Chen Ling thinks that the charm of Maozi is probably only aroused when he meets the opposite sex. After all, when he is at home, besides talking, he eats nuts and fruits, which is stupid and lazy.

Qian Qing beamed with joy, and clasped his hands tightly, "When the parrot eggs hatch, you can come and take a look."

"Oh." Chen Ling was not very happy, and asked calmly, "When can I go in and have a look at it?"

"I just checked the previous monitoring. The two parrots just started to step on their backs. They should wait for a few more minutes." Qian Qing glanced at the watch on his wrist, "Why don't we go back to the office and wait."

"No, I'll just wait here." The little guy has his own partner, and I'm afraid he really won't return to the bare Yuhe Mountain again.Chen Ling wanted to take a few more photos of it as soon as possible, and bring it back for Master to see.

Qian Qing also has pets at home, so she somewhat understands the feelings of some young people.

Sighing, she patted Chen Ling on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll go back and write a record report, and when they come out, you can call me, and I'll lead you in."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Qian." Chen Ling suddenly spoke sweetly, which caught Qian Qing by surprise.

She smiled, and wanted to reach out to stroke the young man's hair, but she retracted it with a flick of her fingertips, "You and I get along pretty well. If you have other birds in the future, you can ask me anytime if you have anything you don't understand."

Chen Ling: "Okay." He took out his mobile phone and scanned a code with the other party.

The two purple and blue parrots finished stepping on their backs, and they were in the nest for a long time before they were willing to poke their heads out.

Chen Ling has been lying on the glass, looking forward to the direction of the cabin, saw his male looking over, he tapped the glass lightly with his fingers.

The purple-blue parrot turned to look at its partner, its wings fluttered, it flew from among the intertwined branches, and landed on the stone pier inlaid with glass.

Through the thick double-layer vacuum glass, it desperately poked its head in the direction of the young man, as if expecting praise.

Chen Ling: "Wait a minute, I'll call someone over."

Hearing the shout, Qian Qing quickly came over with the key. She led the young man in, and as soon as she raised her hand, the female parrot flew towards her.

I don't know if there is a competitive psychology between the two parrots. Seeing that the female is about to fall on Qian Qing's shoulder, the male parrot has already grabbed Chen Ling's shoulder and stood firmly.

A surprising thing happened. Just as Qian Qing was standing upright, waiting to be a human parrot, the female parrot suddenly turned around and landed on Chen Ling's shoulder.

The two parrots together weighed more than six catties. Chen Ling was caught off guard by being stepped on, and his body tilted a bit.

Qian Qing couldn't believe her eyes, "Why did it get close to you! I have been best friends with it for three full years, and it was only recently that it was reluctant to rest on my shoulder."

Chen Ling doesn't think she has any special attraction. The abnormality of the female parrot should be attributed to its new partner.

Two purple and blue parrots occupied the left and right shoulders of the young man, stretched their necks together, and rubbed against the back of the human neck, ignoring the outside crowd at all.

Chen Ling was so happy, with his hands resting on the backs of the two parrots, he felt elated.

Seeing one person and two birds get along so intimately, while Qian Qing was envious, she suddenly began to worry in her heart. They are so tightly bonded, how will they be separated?

"Chen..." She pursed her lips and began to approach her, "Can I just call you by your name?"

"Yes." Chen Ling tilted his head, rubbing the parrot's wings with his temples.

"Chen Ling, it's like this. Mr. Zhao was a foster person before, but now the parrot has formed a new family in our base. It's time to break up the foster relationship." Putting the loose hair behind her ears, Qian Qing He whispered, "If it's convenient, let's go and sign the release document first."

Chen Ling carried the parrot to the nearest branch and put it away. Looking at the male purple-blue parrot, he said, "I have to go back to Yuhe Mountain. From now on, you and your wife will stay in the base and live obediently, okay?"

The purple-blue parrot tilted its head, its eyes were wide open, and no one knew what was going on in its little head.

Chen Ling's heart was sore, he pressed his palm lovingly on its little head, and walked out step by step.

Qian Qing followed closely, and when she was about to close the door, she saw the male Violet King Kong suddenly flap its wings and fly straight towards this end.

"Kang".

The metal gate closed heavily due to inertia, blocking Qian Qing's sight.

She walked around to the monitoring screen and saw from the screen that the parrot had folded its wings and was looking up at the gate.

It was motionless, like a lifeless stone sculpture, capable of doing nothing but standing where it was.

Chen Ling stood behind Qian Qing, "What's wrong with it?"

"Probably because of reluctance." Qian Qing didn't finish her sentence, rather than saying that she was reluctant, she felt that the parrot was more like confronting her.

Heartbroken, she moved the cursor, and the monitoring screen was locked, leaving only darkness.

Qian Qing blocked Chen Ling's view of the screen and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Chen Ling turned his head three times a step at a time, the lonely blue figure in the surveillance screen was always flashing in his mind, maybe the little thing understood what he said before.

The corridors of the base are very quiet, you can hear a needle drop.

Qian Qing paused, and suddenly turned to look at the closed door of the breeding room.

Boom, boom, boom.

Small impact sounds, from scratch in a quiet environment, and from subtle to obvious.

"What sound?" Chen Ling passed Qian Qing, backed up immediately, and stopped at the door of the breeding room with his ears sideways.

The sound came from the other side of the metal door, like some kind of hard object knocking on the door panel.

Qian Qing stepped on her high-heeled shoes and came quickly to the front of the screen, and replayed the monitoring screen. The female parrot was standing on a branch not far away, while the male parrot was mechanically hitting the gate with its beak over and over again.

The things created by human beings are extremely hard, and the small mouths of parrots can't do anything about them.

Qian Qing was afraid that it would hurt herself, so she hurriedly took out the key to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a small blue shadow flew out across the sky and plunged into Chen Ling's arms.

Qian Qing stood firmly in place, the parrot's affection for humans really surprised her.

After a long time, she finally let out a long sigh as if compromising, "What should I do now, why don't you take it back?"

"That's the only way." Chen Ling said flatly, but the corners of his mouth were already curled up. The way he smoothed the parrot's fur was very professional, and the little guy squinted his eyes happily in the arms of the young man.

Qian Qing looked up and found another one on a tall palm tree.

Probably having a temper tantrum, the female parrot turned its back to everything outside, with its head facing the tree trunk, frozen.

Chen Ling hugged the adult baby parrot and left the base accompanied by Qian Qing.

Before boarding the car, Qian Qing made a heartfelt request, "This is the first time the parrot in our base accepts a male, and it suddenly lost its partner. I'm not sure if it will be emotional. If you can, you can temporarily live in the base today." Is it the guest house next to it? If there is anything, I can ask your family to come and appease you."

Fearing that Chen Ling would disagree, she hurriedly added: "The conditions of the guest house are okay, I will ask the leader to help coordinate the parrot's stay together."

This has no effect on Chen Ling, it's just a change of place to live.

Holding the little guy in his arms tightly, he nodded, "Then you take me there first."

Unexpectedly, the young man was so talkative, Qian Qing hurriedly led the way to the guest house, and at the same time called the leader to explain the situation.

When the two entered the door, the front desk lady of the guest house had just hung up the call of the leader of the base.

Looking at the three old clocks hanging on the wall behind the reception desk, Chen Ling remained silent. The decoration and furnishings looked like products from 20 years ago.

"I didn't mean to fool you on purpose." After completing the formalities, Qian Qing took the room card from the front desk and explained awkwardly, "I was afraid that you would not stay... Besides, although our guest house is a bit older, But it has history hidden in every corner, look at the pictures on the wall."

Chen Ling didn't want to look at it, he wondered if it was charming or not, all he knew was that the air here was not very good, and there was a damp musty smell everywhere.

If it wasn't for sitting in a good position and the surrounding people coming and going, the guest house would definitely have become a haunted house long ago.

The temporary room is on the fourth floor, facing south, with plenty of sunlight, and the musty smell is better than other places. There are many flowers and plants planted on the viewing platform connected to the balcony.Standing on the edge, you can see the breeding base and the wildlife park next door at a glance.

Chen Ling sat down on the chair and put the parrot on the coffee table.

Qian Qing poured him a glass of water, "Get some rest, I'll go back to work first."

"Miss Qian, go slowly." Chen Ling stood up to see off the guests. As soon as the door was closed, he leaned against the wall, his fake maturity was gone, and he lazily sent a text message to Wu Weiwei, saying that he was staying out at night.

Wu Weiwei's message came back quickly: [Brother Jiang is back, and he seems a little unhappy after knowing you're not here. 】

Chen Ling: 【Is he looking for something with me? 】

Wu Weiwei: [I asked, and he said it was all right. 】

Chen Ling: [Then don't worry about it. 】

Isn't it easy for the ancestors to find him? Just make a reservation.

Wu Weiwei was quiet for a while, but 3 minutes later, the amount of information suddenly increased, and Chen Ling's phone vibrated non-stop.

【Apprentice, can our Xiaolan come back?Master misses it very much. 】

[If I can't come back, can I go and see it?The base does not allow strangers to enter. 】

[Apprentice, the nut meal you bought online some time ago was not brought to Xiaolan. 】

【By the way, I used the fluff he pecked off to make a small ball. Can I use it as a toy? 】

Chen Ling replied: […]

As soon as the sweetheart left, Master's whole body became ill.

He quit WeChat and called Zhao Xunchang's cell phone.

The busy tone only rang once, and the other end was connected. Zhao Xunchang: "Good apprentice, how is my parrot? Is it good? Can it adapt to the living environment of the base?"

Chen Ling walked to the sofa, half lying down and said: "It really likes the base. In order for the purple and blue macaws to breed better, they specially set aside a place to simulate a tropical rainforest. And the female parrot is very handsome. Gao, we Xiaolan can't walk as soon as we see it."

The purple-blue parrot straightened its neck when it heard the word Xiaolan, staring straight at the direction of the sofa.

Being looked at with a guilty conscience, without waiting for the other end to speak, Chen Ling turned his face away and said: "You're lying, the little guy will stay with me in the guest house tonight. If there is nothing wrong with the base, I can bring it back tomorrow."

Zhao Xunchang couldn't hold back the smile on his face, he laughed while holding the phone.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore. The gaze from behind was so real that it was hard to ignore. He covered the receiver and looked over.

The door of Jiang Yu's room opened, and he was lying on the rocking chair at this time, with his long legs crossed, and his gaze under half-closed eyelids was undisguisedly cold.

Putting down the book in his hand and going out, he stopped in front of Zhao Xunchang, looking at the phone in his hand without blinking.

Zhao Xunchang looked at him for two seconds, then handed over the phone: "Would you like to talk to him?"

Jiang Yu's eyes stopped on the mobile phone, which showed a round head portrait, and the title below was "Little Apprentice".

He frowned, "No need."

Zhao Xunchang was confused, turned his back and continued talking to the little apprentice, yelling for him to bring the parrot over and call it a few times.

Jiang Yu returned to the room, stood in front of the rocking chair and silently looked at Zhao Xunchang, who hadn't laughed enough, pursed his thin lips tighter, picked up the mobile phone on the table, and found the only number in the phone book.

Rubbing the word "Chen Ling" with his thumb for a few seconds, he moved his fingertips to change the note.

After talking on the phone, Chen Ling said to the parrot who was still squatting on the coffee table: "Master really loves you for nothing, is he afraid that he will be unhappy when he hears that you can't go back?"

The parrot opened its mouth and shouted: "Happy, I'm happy."

After yelling, it jumped up to Chen Ling and rubbed its head against his arm.

Hugging the parrot and kissing it, Chen Ling raised its chin slightly with his hand, "Why are you so clingy to me today? Don't worry, I won't lose you."

The purple-blue parrot opened its mouth and shouted: "Really, really."

"Really." Chen Ling picked it up, put it on his lap, and turned on the TV.

Just so happens to be a local news channel.

After the commercial ended, the morning news began to be rebroadcasted. The photos shown on the TV were mosaiced, and Chen Ling could still recognize the large gold watch on the deceased's hand at a glance.

It's Zhu Peng.

According to the news, Zhu's body was found in the lake by park sanitation workers this morning. According to preliminary autopsy and park monitoring, the time of death was between [-]:[-] pm and [-]:[-] am yesterday.

The news is not detailed, it is just a brief report.

Chen Ling put down the remote control and boarded the local forum. Piaohong's first post was about Zhu Peng.

Someone revealed that Zhu Peng reported himself to the police at 45:[-] last night, saying that the deceased in the lake drowning case two years ago, that is, his first wife, did not fall into the water at all, nor did he commit suicide, but He pushed it down with his own hands.

Besides him, his lover Zhou Wenhui was also present at the scene.

The person who broke the news should have been at the scene at the beginning. After saying this, he also released a photo of the scene from another angle without coding.

Although the time of death was not long, the body was swollen as if it had been soaked for several days, exactly the same as Zhou Wenhui back then.

Netizens said that Zhu's son, who had been studying abroad, rushed back at noon. After he learned the whole story from the police, he refused to collect Zhu Peng's body.

The swollen body was left at the police station until six in the afternoon, and was sent directly to the crematorium.

Chen Ling sighed, so I said, don't do anything wrong, even if the law can't deal with you, thousands of gods and Buddhas in the sky and earth can also accept you.

It is inevitable to feel a little heavy watching this kind of thing, so I quickly changed the channel and watched the brain-dead drama with ease.

There were few people living in the guest house, and it was quiet at night. Soon after dinner at six o'clock, Chen Ling went to take a shower, adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, and nestled under the blanket with the parrot in his arms.

He was leaning against the head of the bed, playing with his phone, a little worried about Sun Jiayu's situation.

At the same time, Sun Peifeng felt uncomfortable.

Ever since he heard Chen Ling's words, he felt more and more uneasy, and couldn't help but focus on his nephew.

For example now.

Sun Zhi took Sun Jiayu's used tableware from upstairs, and the helper offered to help wash it, but he avoided it, "Auntie, I'll do it."

Sun Peifeng couldn't help but wonder, did he make it just for me to see?Thinking about it this way, I really found a lot of clues. My nephew did often take the initiative to help with cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning when he was at home.

But he had heard from his wife before that Sun Zhi didn't like to do activities on the first floor very much. Most of the time he stayed in his room to read, only showing up during meal times, and then went back upstairs after finishing his work.

Sun Peifeng rubbed his face, moved towards his wife, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Sun Zhi's character?"

Mrs. Sun looked at her husband in surprise, as if she didn't know the person in front of her, "Why do you ask, you don't know if he is a good character?"

"Of course I know, I just want to hear your opinion." Sun Peifeng looked in the direction of the kitchen, and a figure quickly shrank back, unable to distinguish whether it was the servant or Sun Zhi.

He deliberately turned up the volume of the TV in the living room, and urged, "Hurry up."

"Quiet and sensible, doesn't like to trouble others, and has always been in the top ten in the class since childhood." Mrs. Sun said, "I sometimes feel that Xiaozhi is better than Jiayu in our family. Jiayu is good at everything, but his grades can't be improved. You Look at his high school, it took him all his life to pass the second grade."

"Second Uncle." Sun Zhi suddenly appeared behind the sofa, causing the couple to tremble in fright.

Sun Peifeng's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, "Did you finish washing? Just right, come with me to the study, let's chat."

Sun Zhi took out a tissue and wiped his hands, then smiled and said, "Okay."

The two uncles and nephews entered the study one after the other. Sun Peifeng asked his nephew to sit on the sofa opposite him and turned on the kettle on the tea tray.

The pot of water boiled up and down.

Sun Peifeng washed the tea first, and then poured fresh boiled water into the tureen.

The tea leaves were washed by the boiling water, rising and falling with the already clear liquid, and slowly sinking to the bottom of the bowl.

Sun Peifeng pushed the cup that belonged to Sun Zhi in front of him, brushed off the tea in his tea bowl with the tea lid, and took a sip very carefully.

The tea is very hot and slightly bitter, but it is not as tangled as he is.

"How long have you been in our house? It's been 13 years." Sun Peifeng spoke slowly, as if he was stuck in a distant memory, "You have always been kind to me and your second aunt, and you are also kind to Jiayu. , so I decided to send you to the newly opened branch in the south after Jiayu's condition stabilized during this period of time."

People who are far away from the center of power may have two results.

Those who come back can move up and get closer to the top of the pyramid; those who don’t come back will become permanent foreign ministers, who can only hold their salary and guard their own small boundary.

After a short silence, Sun Peifeng saw his nephew nodded.

The stone in his heart shattered, and he knew that Sun Zhi was not like a wolf in sheep's clothing as Chen Ling said.

"The second uncle's arrangement must be for my own good, I understand. And going to other places to open up new markets is also a kind of experience for me."

Sun Peifeng pressed his nephew's shoulder in relief, "Good boy, Second Uncle saw you right."

"Second Uncle, is there anything else? I'll go and see Jiayu first. I'm worried about him being alone." Sun Zhi's smile remained the same, even the curvature of the corners of his mouth was exactly the same as before.

Sun Peifeng suddenly felt that it was like a smiling mask growing on his face.

Not just today, but at any time in the future, my nephew always has such a humble smile on his face.

I didn't pay attention to this problem before, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Now that I noticed at first glance, the cold sweat that Sun Peifeng had just evaporated broke out again. If it was a smile from the heart, how could it be consistent all the time?

For some reason, Sun Peifeng grabbed the person who was about to leave, and said in a calm and almost cold voice, "On the way to send Mr. Chen back, he told me something."

The muscles on Sun Zhi's arms tensed, and the smile on his face disappeared, "Second Uncle, what are you talking about?"
