After I became a zookeeper

Chapter 38 Songbird Chapter Bird Courtship and Blind Date Meeting

Whenever you call, I will answer.

When Ye Zhi heard this sentence, her eyelashes trembled slightly.

This is a very deep promise, but Phoenix has kept it every time without saying it.

Ye Zhi bent her eyes, and was very lucky to meet Fenghuang. He not only saved her life, but also brought her a sense of happiness and security. He is a very good friend.

"When did you become a human?" Ye Zhi had just choked on the water and almost lost his breath, but now he only felt a sore and itchy throat, and his speech was dry and astringent.

Fenghuang held Ye Zhi's waist and swam to the shore. Fang was in a bad condition and needed immediate medical treatment, "Just now, when you were drowning."

Ye Zhi pursed his lips, his brain was still swollen and dizzy, and the atmosphere around him became depressed when he heard Fenghuang's words, "I'm sorry, I promised you that I would stay with you when you transform into a human being."

Fenghuang hummed in response, "You still know." He turned his head to look at Ye Zhi, and continued to speak unreasonably, but seeing Fang's fragile appearance now, he still took back all the complaints later, and just broke down. He opened his face and panicked when Ye Zhi agreed to accompany him, but in the end ran to something else and almost drowned.

Ye Zhi coughed. This incident was his fault. After the mermaid test results came out, he presumed that Fang would transform into a human before Phoenix. Having seen the evolution of the mermaid, it would be safer to accompany Phoenix after gaining experience. However, the time for the evolution of the phoenix did not come tonight.

When he left Fengqiwu in the evening, Fenghuang was still trying to keep him, but he wanted to leave, pushing all differences to the inconvenience of communication, unwilling to think carefully about why Fenghuang wanted to keep him.

Alas, the more I feel that my behavior is really irritating.

Ye Zhi took a peek at Fenghuang's expression, and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, it's my fault this time, and I won't miss appointments in the future."

Fenghuang glanced at Ye Zhi lightly, but hummed without answering.

Ye Zhi hangs down guiltily, what's the matter, raises his head and asks: "It must be very painful when you become human."

Ye Zhi recalled that when he was about to lose consciousness underwater, he felt someone holding him in his arms and giving him breath, and it was only through this that he was able to hold on. This time was really his last survival limit.

At the same time, Phoenix was enduring the severe mental pain when he evolved into an orc.The mermaid Xiaolan was so painful that she lost consciousness during the evolution and pulled herself into the water. What kind of torture did Phoenix endure at that time, and how did he maintain his rationality to save himself under such circumstances?

Ye Zhi felt more and more suffocated and sour, he clenched his fists, and Phoenix will definitely get better in the future.

Under the moonlight, Ye Zhi turned his head to look at Fenghuang's side face, water droplets dripped from his body, highlighting his firm outline.

"It's nothing." Fenghuang replied softly, noticing that Ye Zhi was looking directly at him, he turned his head uncomfortably.

Seeing that Ye Zhi didn't speak for a long time, he was afraid that he would be too much, so he added a few words, "I'm used to it, and it was much more painful than this when I was mentally violent."

The people around me became even more stiff.

Fenghuang realized that the patch he had applied was in the wrong place, so he shut up immediately.

"When I woke up, I saw Phoenix fire on your body." Ye Zhi didn't let Fenghuang go, because he wanted to know and keep in mind every pain Fang had endured for him, instead of letting Fenghuang pay so much, and then use it lightly. Words uncovered.

"Oh, it's my fire, so naturally it won't burn me." Fenghuang continued to swim to the bank with Ye Zhi, without looking back at him, because he was a bird, and his water skills were not too good, just enough to carry people afloat. The degree of rise, so the speed of swimming back is very slow.

Ye Zhi lightly "oh", did not answer Fenghuang's words, but changed the subject: "Is the rumor of Phoenix reborn from the ashes true?"

Fenghuang paused for a while, "How do you know..." He knew that Ye Zhi couldn't hide it, so he simply said, "This is what I should bear, reborn from the ashes, reborn from the ashes, since I want to change again Returning to this body, what is it if you can’t bear even a little pain?”

Ye Zhi swallowed even more, maybe it was because of the life-and-death experience just now, maybe it was because Fenghuang's words were too distressing, or maybe it was just that the night was as cool as water reflecting his mood, he felt that he became easily sad, his throat was blocked, as if falling You can cry out in aggrieved seconds,

"But you are in pain, save me at this time." Ye Zhi said this sentence very quickly, he was afraid that if he slowed down, the spasm in his throat would affect his voice, and let Fenghuang hear his abnormality.

"What's the matter with you, mother-in-law and mother." Fenghuang turned his head and smiled and pinched Ye Zhi's face. The lake water was very cold, and Ye Zhi's skin was cold after soaking in the noodles for a long time, but Fenghuang felt that the place he touched was like a small flame , he hastily withdrew his hand.

It was the first time for Ye Zhi to pinch his face so intimately. Before that, all the people who approached him were objects, so for the first time, he was stunned in place, his eyes widened, he was at a loss, and did not respond.

Using the moonlight, Fenghuang saw Ye Zhi's stunned expression clearly, and the two innocent black eyes made him look like the innocent head roe deer before, and couldn't help laughing: "Silly roe deer."

When people are slightly frightened, they can be stunned on the spot, not knowing whether to run or hide, and staring at you with two big eyes in a daze.

Makes it even more amusing.

Fenghuang snapped his fingers in front of Ye Zhi, "Hey, I'm back to my senses, we've reached the shore."

Ye Zhi was startled, "Huh?", before reacting, he couldn't help being so embarrassed by his behavior just now that he got into the water and passed out again.

The people on the shore had already surrounded them, their expressions were surprise mixed with seriousness, and they seemed to be very concerned about the situation of the two people in the water, but no one dared to come out.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but wonder, did the whole crowd have a silence spell?

Until Fenghuang said, "Personally, connect the leaves."

Xiao Lin immediately got out of the crowd and responded repeatedly: "I, I."

He stood on the shore, and the phoenix in the water cooperated, pulling and handing each other, and Ye Zhi was transferred from the water to the stretcher.

Fenghuang supported the land on the shore, and jumped on it by himself, Xiao Lin silently withdrew his hand to hold the handle.

Two medical staff lifted the stretcher, and Ye Zhi sent it to the medical vehicle. Fenghuang shook the water off his body, as birds do when they dry their feathers, and the water droplets instantly splashed on the body of Xiao Lin who was closest to him.

Seeing Ye Zhi, he bent his eyes and smiled. Fortunately, he moved away in advance, otherwise he would suffer the same disaster as last time. He stretched out his wings to cover him from the rain, and the last raindrops splashed on him, and there was no shelter from the rain. meaning.

After shaking off the water on his body, Fenghuang strode up to the stretcher carrying Ye Zhi.

Two medical staff sent Ye Zhi into the back of the medical car, and politely extended their hands to stop Fenghuang who also followed, "Please don't disturb our work, thank you for your cooperation."

Fenghuang raised his eyebrows, "I'm his family member, I want to follow the car." After speaking, he pushed aside the hands of the medical staff, jumped into the car shortly, looked in the narrow car space, and found a The corner next to Ye Zhi squatted down aggrievedly, and then the medical staff who were still outside said: "Hurry up and get in the car, I won't disturb your work."

After finishing speaking, he shrank back to the corner again, making it appear that his tall body didn't take up any space.

Ye Zhi, who witnessed the whole scene, said: "..." He laughed, how could Fenghuang be so cute after being transformed into a human being, and he couldn't help stroking the water-soaked hair on the top of his head.

The medical staff put away their tails and got into the car quickly. The rear cover was put down, and the medical car opened, carrying Ye Zhi to the hospital quickly.

During long-term drowning, impurities and sediment in the water will be inhaled into the trachea and lungs. Even after resuscitation, close observation is required, and timely rescue should be performed in case of complications such as acute pulmonary edema and pneumonia.

The medical staff put an ice pack on Ye Zhi's forehead, and surrounded him doing nothing. Ye Zhi felt more and more sleepy as the figure flickered. He finally looked at Fenghuang who was guarding beside him. He smiled, and Ye Zhi bent over. Get up, feel at ease, slowly close the skin, and fall into a deep sleep.

By the time he woke up, it was already three days later.

The sunlight in the morning is not strong, cut into bright pieces through the opened shutters, gently falling on the bark of the leaves and branches, the wind blows, the shutters made of light bamboo slices shake, and the sunlight also shakes, and the leaves and branches finally wake up .

Ye Zhi slowly opened his eyes. When he just woke up, his brain was always in standby mode. It took some time to turn it on slowly and receive the information before going to sleep.

He stared at the white ceiling in a daze, his memory slowly came back, and then he realized that he was not in the dormitory, but in the hospital.

Hospital...Ye Zhi stretched out his hand to hold his headache-like head. Before he got up, Fenghuang finally sent him to the hospital. Now he is in the hospital, where is Fenghuang.

Ye Zhi blinked, lay on the bed and slowly calmed down from his headache, then turned his head to look into the room.

This is a tidy single ward, which looks very high-end. Apart from the bed he is lying on, there is a small sofa and a small tea table not far away, with a fruit plate on it.The flower basket is placed on the ground.

Not seeing anyone else there, Ye Zhi lowered her eyelashes, concealing the emptiness that appeared in her heart, and then examined her own situation.With a needle hanging on the back of his hand, he raised his head, and the liquid was only half lost. He tried his body, but his body was so weak that he couldn't use his strength.

He fell back on the bed, and suddenly heard the sound of the doorknob turning, and immediately turned his head to look, watching the door open expectantly, and then walked in...

Xiao Lin bluffed and shouted: "Aren't you surprised to see me? Are you looking forward to it?!"

Ye Zhi: "Oh, surprise, expectation."

Kobayashi: "???" Is this the expression of surprise and anticipation?How could he even feel that he was rejected by indifference.

Xiao Lin scratched his hair, closed the door and walked in, sat down on the small sofa next to him, put down the bag he was carrying, "Hey, the doctor said that you woke up almost this morning, I watched the morning, but didn't wake up, I just now You'll wake up when you have a meal in the restaurant downstairs."

Ye Zhi had sorted out his mood at this time. Although he was not the person he was most looking forward to seeing, he was still very touched by Xiao Lin visiting him as a friend.

He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Thank you, watch over me." Ye Zhi looked up at the half-hanging liquid, "Is it you who kept an eye on the medicine for me?"

Xiao Lin waved his hand, "Oh, it's a small matter." He took out the lunch box from the bag, opened the box and put it on the table, "Here, eat the meal. The sick meal I bought specially is light."

Ye Zhi looked at the food, he had just woken up, his body was still uncomfortable, and he didn't have much appetite, but he still took the lunch box that Mian Xiaolin handed him.

After a few mouthfuls, Ye Zhi slowed down, he looked at Xiao Lin who was devouring, and then at the quiet door, and finally couldn't help asking: "Where is Phoenix, I remember he sent me there. "

"Oh, him," Xiaolin Qiafan stopped his hand, his face was a bit complicated, as if he didn't know what to say, and finally he briefly said, "He has something to do, he must be very busy recently."

"Oh, like this."

Ye Zhi lowered his head and continued to plan the rice in the lunch box.

For some reason, the people here have a secretive attitude when they mention the matter of Phoenix, but they can't ask a few words from them.Ye Zhi originally thought that this situation would get better after the phoenix re-evolved into an adult, but the feeling was still the same, and the people who asked him kept silent.

Ye Zhi was depressed, but luckily now that the Phoenix Sutra has become a human being, there is no problem in communication between them, he can ask him himself later.

After the meal was finished quietly, Xiao Lin packed up the lunch box, and Ye Zhi's bottle was almost finished, so he called the nurse again to change the bottle.

Ye Zhi lay down again, looking at the bottle dripping liquid above her head, "How long do I need to stay in the hospital?"

"The doctor said that there will be no major problems after you wake up, and you will be able to return to the water after two days of hanging."

Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great, this is so boring, I won't be in the hospital for a long time."

"You're bored," Xiao Lin tied up the garbage bag and looked up at Ye Zhi, "It's Songbird Festival in a few days, and you'll be discharged from the hospital by then. I'll take you for a stroll. It's good to go out and recover."

"Songbird Festival?" Ye Zhi asked suspiciously, "What kind of festival is this?" He had never heard of it in the previous worlds, so it should be a special tradition in this world.

Xiao Lin paused while holding the trash bag, "You don't even know about this? It's the annual courtship meeting."

Courtship? ? ?

Ye Zhi realized that summer is here and the birds are going to be in heat.

Generally speaking, different birds have different estrus periods, but generally they all gather together, the first time in April and the second time in June. This Songbird Festival is in time for the second estrus period.

Ye Zhi nodded knowingly. This is equivalent to a blind date meeting for the big family of birds. He raised his head and asked Xiao Lin, "Is this festival only for birds?"

Ye Zhi said, "There should be other things too, otherwise there are too many... It's not easy to find a wife."

Kobayashi shrugged, "The estrus periods of most other animals don't rush together like birds, and most of the other animals are males chasing females, and birds are all males competing for beauty and waiting for females to pick them."

Ye Zhi went to the world of things he had seen, and it was true. He was very interested in what the bird blind date would be like, so he agreed to Xiao Lin, "Well, you can take me to see it when the time comes, and I will see how male birds court. of."

Xiao Lin agreed, and when it was time to pick him up, he went downstairs to take out the trash with the trash bag.

After Ye Zhi woke up and was out of danger, Xiao Lin didn't stay with him all the time. He still had work in the zoo, and he would only deliver food to Ye Zhi every day after meal time, and chat with him about recent interesting things that happened in the zoo. To relieve his boredom.

After two or three days, it was time for Ye Zhi to be discharged from the hospital.

Ye Zhi changed into his hospital gown, and Xiao Lin waited for him downstairs after completing the discharge procedures, and picked him up to attend Songbird Festival.

When Ye Zhi closed the door, he took a last look at the ward where he stayed for three days. The room was empty, and he couldn't wait for Fenghuang to see him in the end.

The door of the ward was closed, and Ye Zhi went downstairs to find Xiao Lin.

The two met, and Kobayashi took care of everything, and went directly to the Songbird Festival with Ye Zhi on the tram.

The Songbird Festival is held in a vast wetland park on the outskirts of the city. There are many tourists in the park, and the trees are covered with birds of all sizes, shapes and colors.

As soon as Ye Zhi approached the gate of the park, he was stunned, ah!So much furry!

It's still small, he can hold two rua in one hand, and five rua in both hands!

Ye Zhi stared brightly at the parked furries on the tree. Although he said that there are many furries in the zoo every day that can be rua, but the furries are to pursue freshness and the joy of collecting stamps!

You see, there are so many different kinds of furry, leafy ecstasy.

On the willow tree closest to the leaf branch is a brown-headed sparrow. Its round body is supported by two slender bird claws. It looks fat and thin. Its head is covered with brown-yellow feathers, and the down-falling feathers turn gray. , only the feathers on the tips of the wings are the same color on the top of the head, so it is called the brown-headed crow.

The breeze swayed the willow branches, and several brown-headed jays flew over and stopped on this willow tree. Only one of them could not stop properly, but had to stop obliquely——grabbed the willow branches that were tilted at almost nine degrees with two claws, and fixed themselves body of.

Looking at Ye Zhi, she was afraid that his two thin legs would not be able to support his round body, but it was even cuter this way, Ye Zhi devilishly.

Although these birds are all of the same species, their feather colors are not uniform. Some birds have brighter feather colors, and some are a little gray and fluffy. .

Xiaolin continued to walk with the leaves and branches. This is still the periphery of the park, and the birds are not densely distributed. When it comes to the central area, a tree can be filled with birds of all kinds. Big concert.

Passing by an apricot tree again, I saw a row of white birds on the tip of the branch, crowded together, their fat bodies bent the branches a little bit.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but stop moving forward, it turned out to be a silver-throated long-tailed tit!

Hey, hey, to meet such a cute creature here, Ye Zhi felt that he could not afford his special ability if he didn't masturbate.

In his original world, silver-throated long-tailed tits are mainly distributed in Europe and Northern Australia, and they are protected species. Yezhi can only see their cuteness on the screen, and cannot expect to touch them with his own hands.

In the area where he lives, the only birds he can get are gray sparrows, except for the artificially raised ornamental birds in the market. , I can't play a variety of birds and can only play sparrows, or he is pitiful.

Holding Xiao Lin who was still going forward, Ye Zhi signaled him to stop, then walked under the apricot tree beside him, and stretched out his arms towards the rows of birds squatting on the tree.

He didn't touch it directly, but stopped his forearm not far from the silver-throated long-tailed tit. Jiang Taigong took the bait and waited for a few small birds to stand on his arm self-attracted.

The feathers of the silver-throated long-tailed tit are all white, except for the black feathers on the tip of the wings and the tip of the tail, which is not so monotonous. His eyes and mouth are also all black, round without a neck, and his head and body are completely round. The fur ball is also like a glutinous rice dumpling.

Seeing a few glutinous rice dumplings tilt their heads, all in the same direction, Ye Zhi's heart melted in an instant, and he "tweeted", teasing the little dumplings to play by themselves.

I saw Xiaotuanzi flapping its wings, moving from left to right, one by one, onto Ye Zhi's arm. Ye Zhi was wearing short sleeves, and the thin bird claws landed directly on his skin, gently grabbing his arm , with a cool and wonderful touch.

The silver-throated long-tailed chickadee's wings are very short. Compared with his round body, the side wings are not half as wide as his body. People can't help but worry whether the small wings can support such a round body to fly in the air .

But several small balls flapped their wings and landed steadily on his arm, the light weight made Ye Zhi come to a conclusion:

They're not fat, they're just hairy.

Ye Zhi counted, two, three, four, five, six, a total of six round hair balls landed on his arm.They were all close together, with their feathers flattened, and they didn't stand apart, as if they preferred the crowded position.

Ye Zhi stretched out his other hand to touch the top of Xiaotuanzi's head, from right to left, touching each one, and the rain and dew were all wet.

The feathers on the top of the silver-throated long-tailed chickadee are very smooth and soft. Because of its petite body, Ye Zhi didn't dare to use force at all, for fear of accidentally poking them, and just slid gently over the feathers, but just this was enough to satisfy him.

Xiao Lin, who was standing straight to the side, saw this scene, and immediately leaned over greedily, looking at these human elves, "Can you pet them for me?"

Yezhi Xiaolin's modal particle at the end of the sentence gave goosebumps all over his body. Sure enough, no matter who meets the cute fluffy, he can't resist, and will pretend to be cute, or childish.

Ye Zhi put away the goosebumps, and said, "Touch it. Be gentle."

"I know, I know." Xiao Lin began to touch carefully, but when he imitated Ye Zhi's operation and rubbed his fingers flat against the feathers on his head, all the passing Xiaotuanzi shrank their necks, and Xiao Lin touched the air finally. .

Xiaolin: "???"

They despise me! !
