Chapter 148 The Little Owl I Picked Up
Chapter 148 The Little Owl I Picked Up
There is almost no doubt that these two nameless skeletons may be the heroes who once silently ran forward on the road, but unfortunately they were left in that deep pit for some reason, and because of wind and rain, no one noticed them, and they lay there for decades.
And now, they have finally seen the light of day again.
The experts carefully cleaned the dirt and dust from the two skeletons and placed them carefully on a clean red cloth. Jiang Shiyan didn't understand such professional matters, so she took Hu Hu, Bu Bu and the sheriff to search nearby for as many things as possible that might have been missed.
As they walked, Hu Hu and Bu Bu suddenly started shouting, and then blocked Jiang Shiyan's way.
[Can’t go through!]
[Xiao Yanyan, it's dangerous ahead!]
Jiang Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked forward. The rugged and winding mountain road extended inward with no end in sight.
"What's ahead?" Jiang Shiyan couldn't help but ask.
Bu Bu meowed, "I don't know, but our intuition tells us that it's dangerous and we can't go."
Animals have always been more sensitive than humans. Hu Hu and Bu Bu said so, so Jiang Shiyan stopped going inside. When she turned around, the sheriff was gone!
"Sheriff?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black and white cowcat jumped out from the grass with a little bird in its mouth.
"..."
Although it is natural for cats to catch birds, the sheriff grabbed the bird with sparse hair and a small size, which was obviously a fledgling. She squatted down and patted its head: "Let go."
The sheriff opened his mouth reluctantly, then poked the baby bird with his paw pads, trying to explain that he had picked it up under the tree, not caught it.
However, Jiang Shiyan soon discovered something unusual.
This is no ordinary bird at all!
"Shou Shou, what kind of bird is this?" Jiang Shiyan couldn't help but call out the system.
[Does the host need to consume points for identification? ]
The system's cheerful voice sounded in Jiang Shiyan's mind.
Jiang Shiyan rolled her eyes: "Switch, switch, switch, okay."
[Okay, 100 points have been deducted, and the current remaining points are 3987. The appraisal result will be released in one minute. Please wait. ]
One minute later.
An introduction to the little bird appeared on the transparent light screen in front of Jiang Shiyan.
Horned Owl - a national second-class protected animal.
It has well-developed ear feathers and a small body. It often lives in mountain forests and feeds on insects, rodents and small birds.
It has another well-known name: owl.
However, the owl had dull eyes and looked extremely weak. Its dying appearance made Jiang Shiyan wonder if it was about to die.
[It was like this when I picked it up.]
The police chief was afraid that Jiang Shiyan would blame him, so he hurried to seek justice for himself.
Jiang Shiyan touched its head and said, "I know it's not you."
The Sheriff then wagged his tail and barked happily.
He took out some water from his bag and poured it into his palm, then tried to feed the little owl some water. Although the little guy was dazed, under Jiang Shiyan's guidance, he slowly lowered his head and drank a few sips of water.
Bu Bu, who was standing by, took the opportunity to catch an insect, apparently to help feed the little owl.
But the little guy didn't eat it. He tilted his head and looked at the human in front of him with his two big eyes blankly.
Jiang Shiyan asked them to look around, but they didn't find the mother owl. The little guy was in a very bad condition. If he was left alone in the wild, he might not survive the night. She immediately decided to take him back and send him directly to the Forestry Bureau.
After returning, Jiang Shiyan saw that the experts were still busy. She found Professor Hao and told him about the little owl's situation. Professor Hao nodded and said, "Okay, go quickly. Be careful when you go down the mountain."
"Thank you, Professor Hao."
"By the way, are there any new discoveries?"
"There's none over there. They should all be around here."
Professor Hao said nothing more.
After coming down the mountain, Jiang Shiyan drove directly to the Forestry Bureau with the little owl lying quietly in the box, and happened to drive into the unit one after the other with Director Lin's car.
The car window rolled down, Director Lin looked at Jiang Shiyan and asked with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, how come you have time to come here today?"
Jiang Shiyan greeted him and told him why she came: "I picked up a young horned owl. It's not in good condition now, so I quickly sent it over for inspection."
Director Lin was no longer surprised to see Jiang Shiyan picking up protected animals from time to time.
After a veterinary examination, it was found that the little owl was probably not long old and was probably injured after falling from a tree. Further examination is needed to determine the specific situation.
Jiang Shiyan kept it.
However, before she even walked out of the Forestry Bureau's gate, the phone rang again. As soon as Jiang Shiyan answered it, she heard the veterinarian's anxious voice: "Miss Xiaoyan, please come back soon. This owl has suddenly gone crazy."
Jiang Shiyan ran back quickly.
As soon as the door was opened, the little owls that were running around the room rushed straight into Jiang Shiyan's arms, their two big eyes filled with fear, and they kept making scared noises.
The veterinarian explained helplessly: "As soon as you left, the little guy suddenly broke free from control and started flying around, even hitting the door. We suspected that it wanted to find you, so we could only call to call you back."
Jiang Shiyan stroked the owl's head to calm the frightened little owl, and after a long time the owl gradually stopped calling.
"Miss Xiaoyan, if you are not busy, could you help take it to the hospital for the checkup first?"
Jiang Shiyan nodded: "No problem."
After a series of examinations, it was found that the little owl was not seriously injured. It might have been because it was frightened after falling, which was why it refused to eat. It needed to be well taken care of.
However, they tried several times but were unable to take the little guy away from Jiang Shiyan's arms. As soon as they reached out their hands, the little owl screamed in panic and pecked at the veterinarian with its beak, and no matter how Jiang Shiyan coaxed it, it didn't work.
Jiang Shiyan and the veterinarian looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"How about, Miss Xiaoyan, you take it home and raise it?" the veterinarian suggested, having a sudden idea.
Jiang Shiyan was slightly surprised: "Isn't this a bit bad?"
"It's okay. Just report it to the director and he will definitely agree. And you already have a golden pheasant, so you don't need an owl. Just wait until it recovers and then release it."
Another person agreed.
Jiang Shiyan had no choice but to ask Director Lin for instructions, and Director Lin agreed directly with a wave of his hand:
"I'm absolutely relieved to have you take care of me!"
Jiang Shiyan looked down at the little creature in her arms that was hooking her clothes with its claws, and took it away with a helpless look.
After getting in the car, Jiang Shiyan put it back into the paper box it came in. When she was about to drive, a childish voice came into her ears:
[Mother!]
Jiang Shiyan spat out the water he had just drunk before he could swallow it!
