Chapter Five Hundred and Forty Nine - Emperor Penguin
The life of an emperor penguin seems to be stuck in a cycle for Xu Qiaoqiao, but fortunately, she will find some games for herself to play, and she will also lead the emperor penguins to play together.
The rules of the game, no matter how simple they were explained, were still not understood by these emperor penguins, so after Xu Qiaoqiao explained it five times, he temporarily gave up on the idea and simply expressed it through actions.
For example, when the eagle caught the chicken before, everyone started the game very well, but the "eagle" was a bit useless. Emperor penguins are not said to be very docile in character, but they don't like to suffer.
This is particularly evident when playing games.
When the "Eagle" catches too many chicks, the "Mother Chicken" will start to get angry and her temper will be unbearable. She doesn't know whether to say that her side is not living up to expectations or that the other side is too powerful. In short,
, I just couldn’t be more angry.
A sharp cry sounded from the mouth of "Mother Chicken", which was a sign that she was getting angry.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked over there. Halfway through the game, the emperor penguin, who was playing the role of the chick's mother, started to look angry and couldn't help laughing. The whole penguin fell on Jun Qi next to him, and his head slightly rubbed against the hair on his chest.
"Quack, quack, quack." This is really interesting, don't you think so, Junjun?
Jun Qi was sitting next to Xu Qiaoqiao. To be precise, he was squatting, but this posture looked a bit like sitting. Feeling Xu Qiaoqiao's movements, Jun Qi naturally stretched out his arms, hugged her, and yelled "yes"
And what Xu Qiaoqiao said.
The warm sunshine was shining on my body, and the wind never stopped for a moment, but obviously the wind speed at this time was much lower than in the previous few days, and the wind stirred up the mist.
"Mother Chicken" couldn't help it, and started fighting. She tried her best to protect these "chickens", but she was captured so easily by the other party, and it wasn't long after the game started.
Time, it would be strange not to be angry.
However, this is also related to some of the habits of the emperor penguins. They look blank. Although they know that this is a game, sometimes, there is no way to change some subconscious actions.
When the "Eagle" launches an attack, everyone will subconsciously release their little wings from the belly of the Emperor Penguin in front, and then flee in all directions. When this game starts, it only takes three seconds to end.
seconds.
It's so fast that you can't even imagine it.
The emperor penguin who plays the role of the mother of the chicks is a female. She is still in the extreme daylight period, and she happens to be a very lucky emperor penguin with a partner. It was originally a fight between the two parties, but the current situation is obviously not like this.
Seeing how friendly everyone was getting along, Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes happily. She raised her face slightly and faced the sun. Although the temperature was still so cold for Antarctica, the sun's rays were still so intense that it made people uncomfortable.
Dare to look directly.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at it for five seconds, then withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, buried her head in Jun Qi's arms, and yawned. She had been looking at it for a long time and now she needed to rest.
For emperor penguins in the wild, there are countless dangers. Living in a harsh environment is very difficult. On land, they will face attacks from raptors and skuas, and in the sea, they will also face attacks from leopard seals.
Coupled with the severe cold weather, Xu Qiaoqiao and his small group of emperor penguins have lost their companions, and the eggs they lay are not 100% hatchable. Even if they hatch,
The probability of being raised is not very high.
You need to be careful and careful again.
There is no need for Xu Qiaoqiao to express these things. Emperor penguins are much more emotional when it comes to their young, but their emotional nature, their tendency to join in the fun, and their tendency to show off has not changed.
The time of sadness is only a moment. The emotion comes and goes quickly. After leaving, you will live how you want to live.
And those emperor penguin couples who lost their children were naturally not happy. Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi did not stop this phenomenon. This was their nature, and the two of them had changed a lot.
Time passes quickly, and while it passes quietly, it also takes away some gifts and precious lives.
When this group of emperor penguins was thirteen years old, a very strange species of the same kind was mixed into the group, which they had never seen before. Moreover, it could not make any sounds, looked dull and stupid, and usually
The movement posture is also different from them.
Happy looked at this strange emperor penguin, tilted his head, covered his mouth with one arm, and looked at this strange companion, obviously surprised.
In front of him, he saw a fat Emperor Penguin lying there, with his belly on the ground, two small wings spread out, and his head held high. This posture was not unfamiliar to Emperor Penguins at all, but
, we don’t always make this gesture when we get along with each other.
Because of the arrival of this strange companion, the emperor penguins were obviously very interested in him. They all gathered around him and looked at this strange guy.
"Gaga?" What's your name?
Happy asked.
"..."
All he got in response was silence.
"Gah——?" You are talking to us.
Happy asked again. Seeing this guy, he still didn't answer. He pursed his lips and looked obviously not very happy. He has survived for more than ten years, and only the boss and Sister Qiaoqiao dare to do this. You are an old guy.
How many!
Oka looked at this strange fellow, then turned to look at Happy, and blinked playfully. He was obviously much happier when he saw another guy who had been tricked.
"Quack!" Let me just say, this guy is a dull gourd and refuses to speak no matter what.
Oka barked a few words and patted Happy on the head.
When he first met this guy, he had always been in this posture. He didn't know how tired he was. How could he talk to him? This guy didn't even make a sound. He was really a weird guy.
Being so silent, it seems like you have no friends at all.
Several banging sounds sounded.
Happy swung one of his arms and slapped this guy hard. He was obviously very angry when he was ignored for the first time, but as he continued to hit him, he felt strange. Why didn't this guy not hit him like this?
Hiding?
"Gah?" Strange.
Seeing Happy's actions and the way this strange guy didn't dodge, the other emperor penguins surrounding him could sense it no matter how slow they were. After all, anyone who couldn't run away when being beaten was an idiot.
This strange emperor penguin is an idiot, but they don't like to be around idiots.
Therefore, we still have to drive him away.
Ever since, the emperor penguin group began to become restless, and one by one they wanted to drive away this new guy, but obviously it didn't work, this guy is really heavy.
The stupid emperor penguin can't speak, can't push it, and even its eyes are not that energetic.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Happy's first reaction was to call Boss Jun Qi and Sister Qiao Qiao to come over. Boss Jun Qi has the highest force value, and Sister Qiao Qiao knows the most. With the two of them here, everyone immediately felt at ease.
many.
Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi walked over slowly. When they saw this strange new guy that Happy mentioned, Xu Qiaoqiao was stunned. This trend seemed familiar.
Jun Qi blinked. He had never seen this thing before and didn't recognize it. Then he subconsciously looked at Xu Qiaoqiao. Seeing her reaction, he knew that Qiaoqiao must know who this new guy was.
"Gah." Happy called softly, and the other emperor penguins also stood up, with some distance between them and this strange new guy. After all, the boss is here.
Xu Qiaoqiao walked forward, walked in front of this strange emperor penguin, bent over, looked at him levelly, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
Hehe, tsk tsk, I didn’t expect to encounter this situation.
There are really a lot of documentaries about emperor penguins. I didn't expect to encounter this thing again. But, did you come too late?
Xu Qiaoqiao smiled and patted the emperor penguin on the head, and a slight metallic sound sounded. Obviously, the emperor penguin that suddenly appeared on the scene was not a real emperor penguin, but a camera with the appearance of an emperor penguin.
…
The other side of the camera.
Several staff members who were filming the documentary stood in front of the camera. When they saw Xu Qiaoqiao's very human and smiling emperor penguins, they stopped eating and were stunned for a long time.
"Hey, is this guy greeting us?" One of the staff pointed at the screen and asked the colleagues around him. The emperor penguin with smiling eyes just now was waving at them.
.
The colleague nodded slightly and after realizing it, he was obviously very surprised by this phenomenon and said with a smile: "Obviously, this cute little guy is just saying hello."
Yes, yes, I am greeting you.
Jun Qi looked at Xu Qiaoqiao's strange movements and looked at her with interest. Although he didn't know what this new guy was, he was definitely not a living creature. He didn't feel alive from him.
There are many documentaries about Emperor Penguins in Antarctica. They are a group that is very surprised no matter what they do, so there are many documentary teams coming to shoot, and the same is obviously true for the photography team led by Robert.
They noticed this group of emperor penguins last year. There are quite a lot of them. They usually like to play and are very orderly. It seems that there are a few emperor penguins who are managing them. Compared with other teams,
It's obviously something different.
After discovering this, their team began to plan this matter, but due to some reasons, the filming progress was suspended.
At this time, when I heard that the emperor penguins were interested in this disguised camera, they all came to the screen whether they were resting or not. Among the emperor penguins captured at this time, two of them were particularly conspicuous. They were two tall.
One is short, and the shorter one is almost nestled against the tall one.
"Wow, they are obviously a very close couple."
One of the staff members laughed and couldn't help but say something. The tall emperor penguin looked at the short emperor penguin next to him from time to time. He was obviously very concerned about it, and one of his arms kept moving.
on the other person's body.
"Yes, yes, but it's only for one year." The colleague next to him smiled and said the same thing.
"It's not necessarily true. Although the mates of emperor penguins are rarely the ones they have found before, this situation still happens." The person who spoke kept looking at the screen, showing the state of the two emperor penguins getting along.
Very natural and just right sweet.
Those who shoot wildlife documentaries have also seen a lot of love between animals. It has a wild and animalistic atmosphere, which is completely different from the atmosphere between these two emperor penguins.
"I hope so."
"Quack." This is a human camera.
After Xu Qiaoqiao finished those actions, he directly told the identity of this fake emperor penguin to the group of emperor penguins. However, this thing would not hurt them normally. Just look at it with normal eyes. What should I do normally?
That's it.
Moreover, the camera is not stupid, it is a machine.
As for what a machine is, if Xu Qiaoqiao wanted them to understand it, it would definitely take a lot of effort, so he simply did not explain the meaning of the word.
Camera?
what is that?
After hearing a brand new name, the emperor penguins looked at this new guy with obvious curiosity, but they were just curious, and they wouldn't think about it anyway.
When Jun Qi heard this, he suddenly understood. It turns out that human cameras can still look like this. For him who once used such a similar instrument as a toy, this thing is a little bit...
None of them are unfamiliar.
But I still don’t quite understand how humans think about why they take pictures of these things.
He had asked Xu Qiaoqiao this question before, but Jun Qi actually couldn't quite understand Qiaoqiao's answer at that time. It was obvious that they had caused the destruction themselves and had accelerated the progress of the destruction. Now they were using a look of pity.
In order to protect them.
Thinking of this, Jun Qi shook his head slightly. He really couldn't understand it. Fortunately, he was not a human being.
He really felt baffled by these strange movements.
When they knew that this new guy would not harm them, the emperor penguins confidently and boldly surrounded them again. Xu Qiaoqiao pulled Jun Qi and secretly walked outside, complaining to Jun Qi as they walked.
.
Why are we encountering these cameras again? It’s really troublesome.
Seriously speaking, she and Junjun are not real emperor penguins. Some of their living habits and actions are still the same as those of humans, especially Xu Qiaoqiao. This cannot be changed.
But...if Junjun has no memory, he is probably a real emperor penguin.
Xu Qiaoqiao thought so and glanced at Jun Qi, only to see that he was listening to Xu Qiaoqiao's complaints very seriously. After realizing that Qiaoqiao's words had stopped, he turned his head and looked at her.
Sight.
"Gah?" What's wrong?
Xu Qiaoqiao shook her head, nothing, nothing, she just remembered some things from the past.
Listening to Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Jun Qi obviously passively recalled some stupid memories. Although those things were all done by himself, he still felt very separated.
Well, that's it.
Jun Qi hid his emotions very well, and Xu Qiaoqiao was also thinking about something in her head, so she didn't notice it.
But think about it, after all, none of the wild animals she and Jun Qi passed through were ordinary, and it was still in modern times. For the Arctic, the first animal that comes to mind is the polar bear. If there are humans who want to take pictures,
Documentaries or other things about the Arctic cannot avoid polar bears.
However, the whale shark was also surprised.
Because of this strange new companion, the gathering place has been very noisy in the past few days. They often talk to this guy, hoping to get him to answer. In this way, they will be the first to let this boring gourd speak.
An emperor penguin.
So much face!
However, how can a machine speak? Moreover, when it was created, this function was not added.
So, obviously, no one is finished with this idea.
Gradually, there were fewer Emperor Penguins surrounding this new guy. After two years, everyone was familiar with the existence of this guy. They knew that this was a dumb Emperor Penguin who couldn't speak, and no one wanted to go with him.
touch.
But one advantage of not being able to speak is that it is a very qualified listener.
After being together for so long, everyone is not surprised that this guy still maintains that posture. Some emperor penguins who are too idle will learn this action and then maintain it for the whole day.
When everyone entered the year of fifteen, this fat guy left the gathering place one day.
After a long time passed and everyone wanted to talk to this guy again, they found that he was no longer there.
"Quack." Maybe he left, just like Oka.
Jacques stood beside Happy and comforted him with harsh words.
Just a year ago, Oka suddenly left this big family without any warning. We were getting along well one day, but he could not be found the next day.
At the beginning, Jacques thought he was going to play, but he waited and waited and never got the other party. Now a year has passed.
Regarding this matter, he also asked Sister Qiaoqiao. When the other party knew about this matter, she was obviously a little sad. Jacques felt it, which gave him a bad premonition.
Sister Qiaoqiao said that Oka just went to a far away place, but they couldn't go to this place and had to wait.
A very far place, how far is it?
Jacques looked at the sun in the sky and began to think about this problem. That idiot couldn't even walk steadily. He kept falling crookedly and was dishonest when cooking. I really don't know why he had the courage to leave everyone alone.
Woolen cloth?
Wait, wait a few more years, and when he sees each other again, Jacques swears that he will definitely ask this question.
