A thin sparrow stood on the thatched roof, raising its head and chirping to the sky.
‘What bad luck!’
‘It turns out that you will really be struck by lightning when you answer the phone in the wild, and you will really travel through time if you are struck by lightning...’
‘If I had known that the ringtone for incoming calls should have been set to Descendants of the Dragon, what would I have done?’
Cheng Yu looked down at his pair of tiny claws and complained repeatedly in his heart.
Traveling through time depends on luck, and it is obvious that Cheng Yu is not very lucky.
I originally took advantage of the summer vacation of my sophomore year to go fishing at a wild lake with several roommates and their respective girlfriends.
At first he was very lucky and caught a rare wild golden carp in full view of the public.
Unexpectedly, when I was feeling proud, my best friend called me. The moment I took out my phone and answered the call, I was struck by a bolt of lightning.
In fact, it’s not bad so far, at least it’s been clicked cleanly, crispy, and I haven’t suffered at all.
But the immortal one actually traveled back to a sparrow with the soul of his previous life.
Or just a chick that is just about to leave the nest.
It doesn’t matter if it’s just a baby, it’s time to travel back in time to ancient times like the Qin and Han Dynasties, or the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Even if he traveled to ancient times, he would still be a farm bird.
Cheng Yu knew that in ancient rural areas, sparrows were not protected animals.
He is now one of the Four Pests.
Compared with these, the memories that have not been recorded in this life do not bother Cheng Yu. After all, what memory can a sparrow have?
It's nothing more than stealing grains and looking for insects and ants. If you don't remember it, you will feel clean.
He squatted helplessly on a thatched roof, looking down at those tiny paws again...
He had already pecked three wounds on it, and three heart-wrenching pains repeatedly reminded him that this was not a dream!
"Chirp..."
He let out a low moan and exhaled the stale breath. He subconsciously reached out and took out a piece of thatch from the thatch pile and put it in his mouth. His movements were very skillful, as if they were the habitual movements of this sparrow body.
Strangely enough, holding a piece of thatch in his mouth actually gave him an inexplicable sense of security.
After gradually calming down a little, Cheng Yu looked up and saw dozens of simple and simple thatched houses scattered in the village, with few brick and tile houses.
In the vast field of crops outside the farm, green and yellow crops are mixed together and flowing in layers, undulating with the wind.
Black dots are interspersed among them. The ones that move are people and the ones that don’t move are dummies.
As far as the field of vision can be seen, there is not a single telephone pole in or outside the village, nor is there an outdoor air conditioner in front of or behind the house.
The people in the village all have gloomy faces, old clothes, and an aura that is natural with the earth. They are not at all like the staff in some antique scenic spots, who are broad-minded and fat and wear ancient costumes to sell goods.
"Pulp Leng Leng."
While Cheng Yu was dazed, an old sparrow flew from nowhere and landed next to him.
He turned his head with thatch in his mouth and saw that the bird opposite was surprisingly large in proportion. In the eyes of Cheng Yu, who was not used to the sparrow's perspective, the old sparrow looked a bit as imposing as the giant Yang Daxia eagle.
I saw that the other party had half a green grasshopper in his mouth, threw it in front of him, and started chirping at him.
He glanced at the grasshopper's hind legs as thick as a baguette and turned his head away silently.
Cheng Yu, who was still in the early stages of time travel, was in a bad mood and couldn't bear to pay attention to the old sparrow, even if she was the cheap lady in his life.
As the saying goes, people have their own words, and animals have their own words. The chirping of birds carried a large amount of information into his mind:
The half of the best green grasshopper was a betrothal gift prepared for the second girl's family on the old locust tree at the west end of the village. Cheng Yu was asked to take it to his future father-in-law's house and propose marriage.
The second girl's family is a wild bird outside the village, and he is a farm bird. The betrothal gift is halved, and half a grasshopper is enough.
It's just that his biological father, eldest brother, and third sister in this life had a hard life. Before Cheng Yu came through time, he fell into the trap set by the farmer by mistake and was made into kebabs.
The second brother was lucky. I don’t know what kind of ecstasy he cast. He climbed a high branch and barged in the door to a nearby county and became a city sparrow. This earned the old sparrow some face. He told the birds how my second brother was doing.
It was only after the second son left home and married into his wife that he completely lost contact with his family, so the old sparrow gradually stopped talking about it.
At this time, only the fourth child, the youngest of the litter, was left.
Taking advantage of the autumn harvest season, we should quickly settle the marriage and build a nest together to live a good life next year. This is the old sparrow's wish.
"..."
The worldly sophistication of a bird is actually as good as human kindness.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp..."
The old sparrow kept chattering, but Cheng Yu was holding thatch in his mouth and looking at the waves of wheat in the distance.
I don’t know if I can still understand people’s words...
He was struck to death by lightning. I wonder how his parents in his previous life would cry when they received this bad news.
Is my girlfriend who was by my side at that time okay...
And that fat bitch who called him.
Alas...
What Cheng Yu was thinking was hard for the old sparrow next to him to know.
Seeing that Cheng Yu was lost in thought and ignored her, the old sparrow felt puzzled for a while, feeling that his youngest suddenly seemed to have changed into a different bird, but he couldn't think of a reason.
The old sparrow couldn't think of anything and stopped thinking about it. At this moment, two other female sparrows flew past the house, so the three female sparrows chirped and made a show.
These sparrows are chirping incoherently. They like to sing in groups of three or five, but the content is illogical. The public speaks the truth and the mother speaks the truth. Sometimes they are even completely unrelated, but they can still talk.
It was so hot that it was quite mysterious to Cheng Yu who had just traveled here.
The three female finches were currently chatting about where the host family's threshed corn was hidden, and the west family's domestic cats were really good. Phew!
Cheng Yu exhaled a long breath, trying to regain his ability to think calmly as soon as possible, but unexpectedly the old sparrow flew back again, holding the other half of the grasshopper in his mouth, and chirped at him again.
It turned out that she had just met Er Yatou and her mother on the way, and she thought he was too thin, so she asked for a betrothal gift of a whole grasshopper, otherwise she would hire Er Yatou to the black charcoal head of Zhuangtou's family. Then the old sparrow found the three men next door.
My aunt came back with another half on credit.
Cheng Yu had no feelings for the old sparrow he picked up in vain. The old sparrow was in a hurry to chat with the sparrows. He left half of the grasshopper behind, turned around and jumped two steps before spreading his wings and flying away. He didn't care about the sparrow he had just picked up.
How does a chick that leaves the nest carry two pieces of grasshopper to its in-laws?
He looked at the two grasshopper carcasses on the ground and felt a strong desire to peck them out. However, he thought that he had probably grown up eating this kind of thing, and it was raw and not fried, and he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart.
.
"Poof!"
Cheng Yu spat out the grass in his mouth.
I feel even more depressed.
I thought that although I didn’t do one good thing every day in my previous life, I was definitely not full of bad deeds. How could I be struck by lightning?
Unfair!
"叽叽叽"
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly heard the sound of birds chirping again.
This time, it was a young and strong female sparrow with bright feathers and strong lower limbs that jumped vigorously. It had an earthy smell and landed next to Cheng Yu. The little sparrow tilted its head up and down and chirped at him.
This...
It turns out that this is the second girl from the old Huaishu family in the west end of the village, his... fiancée.
The little female sparrow named Er Yatou has just grown up, and her whole body exudes the aura of youth. If Cheng Yuhun hadn't penetrated the sparrow's body, the sparrow's body would have been unable to resist the temptation of hormones.
But Cheng Yu just wants to be mute at this moment.
He cast his gaze into the distance, his mind filled with the beautiful smiles in his past life memories.
"Chi chi chi chi!"
The second girl's cry increased a bit, and she jumped two steps towards Cheng Yu like a demonstration. When she saw the two grasshoppers, she immediately chirped twice happily.
Give it to you!
Cheng Yu glanced at the remains of the grasshopper at his feet and raised his claws to kick it towards Erya. Unexpectedly, the sparrow's legs were too short. Before he could master the strength, he kicked the two halves of the grasshopper to the eaves.
Hanging on the thatch, it will fall when the wind blows.
"Jiji!"
The second girl saw that the food in her mouth was gone, and even her screams were broken.
"..."
"Pulling"
The second girl screamed twice, then spread her wings and flew away.
I didn’t mean it...
After she flew away, Cheng Yu turned around, looked at Erya's retreating back, and suddenly thought: I'm breaking off the engagement now...
At least I am finally clean.
He jumped to the highest point on the roof in a few steps, and looked around again. A large mountain shrouded in mist was located behind the village.
There are misty clouds and mist halfway up the mountain, which seem light but actually thick. The layers of mist flow continuously, thin but not scattered.
While watching, I suddenly heard a group of chirping sounds. Looking from a distance, I saw a dozen sparrows flying towards me in groups.
The leading sparrow has a strong body, and its black hair is different from the brown hair on the heads of other sparrows, making it particularly conspicuous.
Next to him was the second girl who had just been angered by Cheng Yu. Behind him was a group that seemed to be his aunts and cousins, his sister-in-law, his seventh uncle, and his eighth uncle, dancing and chattering with great arrogance.
Are you... here to force me into marriage?
Cheng Yu really couldn't understand the brain circuits of these sparrows.
Marriage is a matter of your own free will. If you can't force it, and there is no wedding room, it's easy to get together and get away. Isn't it delicious?
