Chapter 233 The war between the myna and the magpie
Chapter 233: The War between Myna and Magpie
On Sunday, Li Youran and Sun Xiaoying were resting at their home in Mingcui Villa.
However, even if it is a break, you cannot avoid doing some housework. Although the cleaning work has been entrusted to the housekeeping service center, you still have to do the work of cleaning the room, running the washing machine and washing clothes. Living at home is inevitable.
The pool in the west of the yard has been repaired. It is a simple rectangular shape, with a bottom and walls covered with tiles, and a pebbled path around the edge. The water shielding test was successfully completed, and the filtration equipment and water circulation system were installed in place and passed the acceptance inspection.
However, the components of the glass greenhouse have not yet been completed in the factory and will have to wait a few more days.
In addition, a few days ago, Li Youran asked the salesperson of the glass greenhouse to help find a manufacturer of stainless steel products, make a water tank with a capacity of three and a half tons, put it on the roof, and connect the water outlet pipe to the kitchen.
In this way, there are two faucets above the kitchen sink, one is ordinary tap water, used for washing vegetables, dishes, cleaning, etc., and the other is a stream faucet, suitable for drinking water, making tea, cooking, making soup, etc.
Li Youran labeled the two faucets separately so that they would not be easily mistaken.
Then he filled the water tank with the jadeite Pixiu. Now, he could easily enjoy the space stream water at home.
There is also a solar water heater on the roof, which has not yet been filled with water from the space stream. Because bathing is more frequent in summer, it would be too wasteful to use all the water from the space stream. Let’s wait until the weather gets cooler.
The one hundred and twenty morning garden bamboos planted in the southwest corner of the yard all survived successfully. Not only that, because of the water from the spatial stream, the bamboos grew vigorously and looked lush and green at first glance, adding a sense of tranquility to the yard.
Li Youran's guess was correct. Under the growth-promoting effect of the stream, the diameter of the bamboo's stems has obviously become thicker. It seems that in some time, it may be comparable to the large moso bamboo in the south.
Not just bamboo, after several consecutive "artificial rainfalls", all the plants in the courtyard have straightened their waists and glowed with vitality. They are green and lush, which is very eye-catching. Even the workers who worked on it praised it.
, guessing that the owner of this home must be a gardening expert.
Sun Xiaoying liked this house very much and spent a lot of effort to decorate it. She made a bunch of paintings, potted plants and flowers, and placed them in the living room, corridors and rooms. She enjoyed it with gusto.
Li Youran didn't bother to take care of it and just let her play around, thinking that he would stop playing when she got tired.
The staple food at noon is porridge. I selected some vegetables and fruits that I picked from the vegetable base last time, stir-fried them, and cooked some side dishes.
In fact, even if these vegetables are stir-fried without adding meat, they are still very delicious and refreshing. And they have no fat, making them a typical low-calorie healthy food.
Girls of Xiaoyao's age love beauty, so they naturally prefer to eat vegetarian food like this.
After lunch, Li Youran went back to the bedroom to take a nap. He was feeling dazed when he was suddenly woken up by a chirping sound. He didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was just the birds playing outside, but after listening for a while, he felt
Something was wrong, the bird's chirping was mixed with the sound of flapping wings and pecking, which was very intense.
Chirp, chirp. A bird chirped loudly, the sound was rapid and angry.
No, it seems to be a loud sound.
Thinking of this, Li Youran quickly got up from the bed, opened the screen window on the west side of the house, and looked out.
Sure enough, I saw two birds, one black and one flower, fighting on the willow tree by the pool in the garden. The black and white bird was an adult flower magpie with a long tail and sharp beak and claws, scurrying on the treetops.
He ran away and swatted at the blackbird.
The yellow ring on the neck of the black bird is particularly eye-catching. It is screaming loudly and fighting back with its claws and sharp beak not to be outdone.
It turned out that Liao Liao was fighting with the magpie. What was going on? Li Youran felt very puzzled.
But this is a war between birds, so don’t intervene yet, let them resolve it themselves.
The flower magpie was bigger than Liao Ling, but it didn't seem to take any advantage. After fighting for a few more rounds, Liao Ling pecked out a few white hairs, which fell from the tree.
The magpie chirped loudly and suddenly flapped its wings, trying to occupy the commanding heights.
Loulang didn't let it get what it wanted. It rushed behind it at a very fast speed and pecked it hard on the head. Finally, the magpie couldn't hold it anymore and screamed a few times before running away outside.
Liao Lian didn't chase him, he flew to the highest branch of the willow tree and raised his neck.
"Chirp, chirp." The cry was filled with the joy of victory.
"That's right, Liao Liao is well done." Li Youran clapped her hands and cheered for Liao Liao.
Generally speaking, among birds, apart from eagles, falcons and other raptors, magpies are relatively powerful and have a hot temper. When their nests are in danger, they will even dare to fight with snakes.
Under normal circumstances, Brother Myna should not be able to defeat the magpie, but after thinking about it, Liao Ling is not an ordinary Brother Myna. He drinks water from the stream every day and eats yeast pancakes mixed with special vegetables. His physical strength has long been exceeded.
similar.
Looking at its shiny feathers, you can tell that the little guy's current health and fitness are quite good.
The reason for the war may be that Liao Leng regards the area of the yard as his own territory and does not allow other birds to get involved.
Just as Liao Liao was jumping back and forth on the branches of the willow branches, celebrating his victory, the situation suddenly changed.
Chat, chat, the defeated magpie returned, not only that, but also brought a helper, another flower magpie.
Looking at her intimate look, she might be the wife of the magpie in front of her.
Good guy, this bird has a big temper. He can't bear the loss. He's getting revenge so quickly. Li Youran thought to himself.
The battle broke out again, and the two magpies went into battle together, attacking Liao Liao from the left and the right.
This time Liao Ling couldn't stand it any longer. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, he couldn't withstand a group fight, let alone a husband and wife who were of the same mind, and their sharpness was as sharp as gold. It was hit repeatedly on its head and back, and its originally smooth and neat feathers were pecked into a mess.
.
Chirp, chirp. He screamed loudly and kept flapping his wings to avoid it, unable to fight back.
Oops, we can't fight anymore, something is going to happen.
"Langlang, come here, come here." Li Youran stretched out his hand and called loudly.
He fluttered and fled towards the bedroom quickly, and quickly landed on Li Youran's palm, chirping in a rapid voice, which probably meant seeking protection.
The magpie couple chased for a while, and when they saw someone appearing, they stopped and chirped for a while as if in demonstration, then went off to celebrate their victory.
The war finally ended and the invaders won.
His feathers were in a mess, and a small piece of his head seemed to be missing. He looked embarrassed, and his small eyes were filled with grievances.
"To bully a small number with more, you won't win without force. If you win, you won't win with force." Li Youran muttered in his mouth, combing its feathers with his fingers, and carefully inspected its whole body.
Fortunately, no serious injuries were suffered.
Chirp, chirp. Chirp shouted loudly at Li Youran, with an unwillingness in his voice, as if he wanted the other party to help him step forward and drive away the invaders.
"You little guy, why do you want to be a bachelor all the time and not find a wife? Otherwise, if you fight, you two will have sex together." Li Youran teased, patting Leolon on the head.
Lelang rubbed the side of his mouth on the pads of his fingers and remained silent.
Li Youran turned his head and looked outside. After celebrating, the magpie couple flew to the edge of the pool with their tails raised high and their heads lowered to drink water.
Oh, I understand, it turns out that the magpies came here for this water. No wonder, the charm of the space stream is extraordinary. Anyone who has tasted it will definitely like it, and Liao Ling regards the pool as his own territory, then
The outbreak of war is inevitable.
Since they are a magpie couple, it is estimated that there should be their nest by the lake, and maybe there are magpie babies.
Anyway, there is a lot of water in the pool, so just drink some, as long as it doesn't harm the fish in it. And when the big magpie is full, he may have to take some back to feed his baby. It's not easy to drag a family with him. Don't be too
Calculated.
In addition, magpies are beneficial birds. They can also catch insects in the yard and prevent insect pests, so they should be of some benefit.
Li Youran thought about how to convey this meaning to Liao Leng. This guy was not as good as Nang Nang, and his understanding ability was really limited.
While thinking about something, Sun Xiaoying knocked on the door and came in.
"Brother Youran, I heard a loud cry in the yard. The sound was abnormal, and I couldn't find it. Have you seen it?" she asked eagerly.
"Here, here we are, we just had a fight with a couple of magpies." Li Youran moved forward the Liao Liao in his palm.
"A fight? Oops, Liao Leng, are you injured?"
When Sun Xiaoying saw the feathers matted and fluffy, she couldn't help being shocked. She quickly ran over to take it in her hand, checked it from head to toe, and lifted its two wings to see if there was anything wrong with it.
Chirp, chirp, he cried out coquettishly, and Sun Xiaoying stroked its hairless little head, feeling extremely distressed.
"Ahem, I checked and found no injuries. Liao Liao is very brave. He fought one against two. Even though he lost, it's still an honor. He deserves praise." Li Youran comforted him with a smile.
"You're still praising me, where is the magpie?" Sun Xiaoying pouted and ran to the window to look out.
"Here, over there, two of them are drinking water." Li Youran showed her with his finger.
"The magpies are so bad, they bullied Loulang." Sun Xiaoying said angrily.
She also saw the two flower magpies enjoying their trophies by the pool, and chirping arrogantly from time to time.
"Haha, don't say that. It's very common for birds to have disputes over food and water." Li Youran smiled, and then explained to her the popular science knowledge that magpies are beneficial birds.
Sun Xiaoying reluctantly accepted this statement, so she ignored the magpie and went back to her house holding the magpie in her hands.
Li Youran looked at the couple of magpies, but he didn't feel bored. According to his idea, not only magpies, but also swallows, sparrows and other birds would come to visit, which would make it lively.
There are many plants in your yard, and you still need to rely on them to protect them.
