Liu Duanping walked out of sight, and Li Gui, who had always been dishonest, stood up on his heels to look at him again. Liu Duanping's figure was already covered by the corner of the room at the other end. He followed quietly again, tiptoeing, and saw that Liu Duanping had walked into the woods at the back of the mountain. He ducked and ran towards the woods to prevent Liu Duanping from discovering him.
It was difficult for Liu Duanping to spot him when he went up the mountain, because the trees were covered with thorns, and these natural barriers could protect him tightly. As long as he didn't make any noise, he wouldn't be easily exposed.
Liu Duanping walked along the bird path and walked into the forest. When he looked up, he saw a huge bird nest built with firewood sticks on the top of the tall pine tree. He didn't see the old bird, so he concluded that it was an old bird's nest because the nest was relatively large. Ordinary birds don't build such a big nest. Only eagles can build such a big nest, and eagle nests usually don't build on easily exposed trees. This must be the old rookery nest.
After a while, an old bird flew out of the nest and circled around the pine tree. Liu Duanping retreated to a small pine tree about two meters high. The small pine tree was covered with horsetail-like pine needles. He bent slightly. , the whole head was covered, and the old bird seemed not to have noticed him yet.
Liu Duanping took aim with his gun, but the old bird was wandering in the pine tree. If he didn't do it well, he would not only miss it, but also scare it away. Suddenly, he realized that this feeling was wrong. In order to protect the young crows, the old bird would not leave the nest easily.
So, he walked out from under the small pine tree and deliberately exposed himself. The old bird found him, called "quack" twice and ignored him. If people don't mess with him, he doesn't need to be on guard against others. In order to attract his attention, Liu Duanping picked up a stone and threw it at the crow's nest on the top of the tree, which alarmed the old bird.
The old bird swooped down and tripped the small pine tree, its branches still shaking. When Liu Duanping looked up, it had already flown away. Liu Duanping pointed his gun at it. The old bird didn't know what the long object he raised was, and he didn't pay much attention. He thought that this man was trying to attack its nest, and it wanted to protect it unconditionally, so it dived again and almost pecked it. After hitting Liu Duanping's forehead, Liu Duanping swung the shotgun. When the old bird was resting by the nest, not yet standing still, and its wings were still flapping to balance the body, he seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger. With a "bang", a ball of Sparks shot out, and the old bird rolled down from the canopy. It was shot.
At this time, Li Gui, who was hiding under a nearby tree, was very happy and wished he could go over and pick up the damn old bird that had pecked him. But he knew that Liu Duanping could not let Liu Duanping find out that he had followed him quietly, so he had to withdraw immediately. In the woods, he trotted back to the main room of Liu Duanping's house with his back bent, and lay on his back on a wicker chair, pretending to sleep.
When Liu Duanping didn't come, of course he didn't sleep, but stood at the door and looked out. When I heard Liu Duanping's cry - Xiao Guizi, I beat that old owl to death and I've already captured it, you see. Li Gui snored deliberately and pretended to be sleeping deeply.
Liu Duanping hung the shotgun on the wall, and the dead-looking old bird had been thrown on the floor of the main room. Its neck was hanging next to one foot of the wicker chair, and its whole body became stiff, like a piece of black garbage.
Liu Duanping was wondering why this child was sleeping so soundly, and his fingers were already gently tugging on his ears. If that didn't work, he would pinch his nose. He only pinched it once, but because his breathing was blocked and he felt uncomfortable, he sat up and stared at Liu Duanping: Uncle Liu, are you back?
I'm back. What's next to my feet?
oh! The old woman was beaten to death by you, Uncle Liu, you are awesome, awesome! Li Gui jumped down from the wicker chair, hugged Liu Duanping's shoulders, and jumped for joy: Uncle Liu, you have avenged me, you are a hero.
Is he a hero if he avenges you? Wouldn't I be a bear if I didn't avenge you? Liu Duanping grabbed one side of Li Gui's face and asked with a smile.
I didn't say the rest. As Li Gui spoke, he stretched out his hand to push Liu Duanping away, then squatted down and dragged the dead old bird and said: Can the old bird's eggs be eaten, but can the old bird's meat be eaten?
Liu Duanping hadn't considered this issue yet, and said that I just brought back the old woman who was beaten to death for you to see, and I didn't even think about eating her meat. According to the theory, the meat of the old woman is also edible.
At that moment, Li Gui held up his palm and shouted: "Okay, I'll boil the water, shave it like a chicken, put it in a casserole, add some vermicelli and simmer the soup."
After the old woman's death, her spirit still perched on the top of the pine tree and took care of the eggs in the nest. There were 13 eggs in total, 4 of which had hatched into chicks. Since there was no mother to feed them, they all starved to death one after another. Some young crows just pecked open the eggshell, and then got out, a meat ball, also died due to lack of food and mother's protection. Their father was extremely irresponsible. He was originally going to look for food for his children. But that time, a hunter fired a shot at the pine tree where they had a nest. The sound shook the valley. After his wife was killed, he was so shocked that he never flew again. Return home to take care of its children.
On the fourth night of the old woman's death, a nest full of young crows hatched out. Some died in the nest and stinked, and some were just lingering.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with wind and clouds, and it started pouring rain. Normally, the old owl woman would cover her nest with straw and spread her wings to protect her children. But now, the nest with the crows in it was soaked by the rain. , how do you think the newborn crow can withstand the wind and rain? As a result, every one of them died. A squirrel jumped out of nowhere and smelled the smell. It crawled over and enjoyed a delicious meal in the crow's nest.
At this time, the soul of the old bird invited the souls of his children together and said angrily: We are going to the Wheel-turning King to complain. It was a guy named Li Gui who harmed us, and we want him to sacrifice his life to repay the blood debt. The souls of the children responded one after another and flew through the Yin and Yang Realm together to go to the underworld to find an explanation from the Wheel-turning King.
The Chakravartin King, who was wearing a black-striped robe, was handling a public case when he suddenly heard the sound of crows coming over him. He looked up and saw a large, densely woven net in front of the palace door. It was the work of the Animal God, because there were thousands of crows flying in outside, and now they were crowing loudly all day long. It turns out that the spirit of the old bird not only called its children, but also called all the crows in the large forest in the south through the bird king to plead Li Gui's crime of trapping them to death.
In response to this, the Wheel-turning King was very angry and said to the soul of the old owl resting outside the palace door: Even if you have been greatly wronged, you should not mobilize troops and mobilize people like this.
Just as the soul of the old bird was about to reply, the Wheel-turning King gave another message: Quickly disperse all the crows. The soul of the old bird was unable to perform this task for a while, so it looked at the Animal God. The Animal God glared back at it, immediately stood up like a towering ancient tree, crossed two fingers in its mouth, and let out a clear and transcendent sound. A long sound.
Suddenly, all the crows stopped crowing, fluttered their wings and flew away, and the whole sky turned black. For about a few minutes, only the soul of the old owl was left in front of the palace gate, along with its naked children, whose bodies had not yet grown hair and could only move crookedly but not fly.
