"Oh my god, where did all these crows come from?"
Seeing the flock of crows circling in the sky, Ansheng couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face.
The flock of crows blocking the entrance of the terminal and the parking lot above wasn't just thirty or fifty in number. A rough estimate suggests there were two or three thousand, akin to a black cloud pressing down on the terminal exit.
Of course.
Situations like this, Ansheng had seen before when living in the mountains, but now it's the dead of winter, and the temperature in the Imperial Capital has already dropped below freezing. There's no reason for crows to come out in such weather.
Unless..... someone deliberately organized it.
"Xiaolan, don't stick your head out....." Ah Qing, seeing Huhu's scarf poke out its head, immediately covered the fox's head with a stern face and said:
"If you step out of this door, tonight you'll have to sleep on the living room sofa...."
Bird droppings were falling in drizzles from the sky, and if the little fox ran outside the door....
Though love wouldn't disappear, for the next three or five days, Huhu would hardly be allowed to sleep on the bed.
"It's about to hit the fan, retreat quickly..."
Momo and the others looked scared, having never seen such a grand scene, they dared not step out of the terminal for fear of being showered by the flock of crows.
This ridiculous scene, even if someone said that someone deliberately fed the crows laxatives, they would believe it.
"Caw caw caw——"
The low-flying flock, seeing the crowd in front of the terminal starting to disperse, began to make a cacophony of noises, and some crows even landed on the ground, folding their wings and walking around on their feet.
They looked at the crowd, making strange "caw caw caw" sounds from their beaks.
Their voices were a cacophony, like a collision of pots, pans, and utensils all clanging together.
"What are you looking at? We're here on orders to beg for food, quickly hand over the snacks from your backpacks."
"Tonight, we'll come to check your water meter....." The crows hopped in front of the travelers, raising their heads and arrogantly announcing their demands for food.
Unfortunately, the travelers couldn't understand the crows' cheeky chatter and were instead startled, hurriedly retreating behind the airport staff.
"All travelers, please remain calm. Crows have come to the city for warmth due to the harsh cold in the Imperial Capital....."
The commotion in front of the terminal had long caught the attention of the staff, or rather, they had grown accustomed to donning little bee amplifiers to explain the scene in front to prevent the travelers from panicking and causing a stampede.
The sight of thousands of crows circling might seem slightly horrifying, but the danger is actually low.
Every November, after the onset of winter, outdoor crows and lazy birds flock to the city, utilizing the heat island effect to overwinter together.
And with so many birds entering the city, sometimes the dumpsters and garbage stations can't cope, so the smart crows flock to populated areas to beg.
Usually, just throw a handful of rice, and they'll disperse.
If the travelers are keen, they can buy two packs of egg yolk pies from the nearby supermarket, and they might witness what is known as: flying, black, two-legged doggies.
"Who do you think you're looking down on here? We are merits, no longer interested in egg yolk pies, go get two boxes of crispy sharks, and a couple of Kinder Surprise Eggs!"
A crow perched on the guide's shoulder, barking out sounds of "woof woof woof," speaking with a proud face.
"Uh..."
The guide couldn't understand the crow's barking, but Ansheng and Ah Qing could.
Hearing the crow talk about crispy sharks and Kinder Surprise Eggs, Ah Qing had a strange expression on her face and instinctively glanced at Ansheng on her shoulder.
"Your relatives!"
Even though Ah Qing didn't speak, her eyes said it all, and Ansheng retorted crossly.
"I didn't say anything..." Ah Qing's gaze drifted away from the little fox.
Even though they were different species, Ah Qing saw the little fox's demeanor in the crow's begging posture.
"Ah Qing, what are the crows saying?" Momo asked Ah Qing curiously.
"They say consumption is upgrading, they don't want egg yolk pies anymore, now they want some hazelnut chocolate." Ah Qing summarized.
"???"
Momo paused in response, instinctively turning around, and looking at the bird droppings scattered outside the terminal, quipped:
"Wow, crows are getting chocolate, now I understand where all this bird droppings came from."
Chocolate is poison to doggies, and its effects are the same for birds.
Ingesting a small amount can cause vomiting and diarrhea, while eating too much may even cause a heart attack and death.
These crows actively seeking chocolate, after eating, wouldn't they just spray it all over family?
"Excuse me.... are you Miss Ah Qing?"
Just as the commotion subsided and everyone was curiously watching the airport staff feeding the birds, a girl in a black long parka, wearing a hood with a crow hidden inside, stepped forward and greeted.
"Huh? And you are....."
Seeing the unfamiliar girl approach and call her by name, Ah Qing's expression froze in surprise.
"Looks like I'm not too late. We were caught in the evening rush hour traffic for quite a while on the road..."
The girl removed her hood, revealing short, neat hair, and the crow hidden inside showed itself, a straight strand of golden feathers standing upright on its head.
"I'm here specifically to pick up Master Fuli. This isn't the place to talk, but I must say, after half a month's time, we've finally anticipated your arrival..."
The girl, full of emotion, held Ah Qing's hand and spoke to her deeply.
Judging by her words, referencing Master Fuli and half a month's time, it's already evident that she belongs to the Imperial Capital Security Bureau.
She might even be a member responsible for Master Fuli's Mentougou family reunion mission.
"You can call me Zhang Lin. I'm three years senior to you, a graduate of the old School of Animal Science..."
"Also considered your senior, so no need to be too formal."
Zhang Lin, filled with passion, tears brimming, took Ah Qing's arm and led Master Fuli away.
"I hope she's not a lesbian....." Lingren blushed with a cautious expression, talking to Momo and Tang You.
"Uh... actually I can hear you." Zhang Lin turned around and said to Lingren: "My hearing is far superior to ordinary people....."
"However, with you all here, lesbian or not, just settle those grateful foxes quickly."
"We're really struggling to handle them..."
"It's challenging, very challenging.... " Zhang Lin hadn't finished speaking when the crow on her shoulder chimed in, looking quite melancholic.
One fox is adorable and enthusiastic.
But if a room houses 436 large North China Red Foxes, it's an outright disaster.
The Fox Race has a habit because their snouts are very flexible, they like to express emotions through their mouths.
Happy, they'll nip you once, unhappy, they'll mischievously bite a big chunk of you. Anyway, they'll bite to express themselves.
Though their biting force isn't strong, it's tough to withstand over four hundred foxes in a room taking turns expressing emotions.
The persistent Jing left Zhang Lin dizzy. Now that Master Fuli is here, the family reunion mission can finally be concluded.
"Wow, more than four hundred foxes? Is your Security Bureau still standing on the original site?"
Hearing this, Ansheng was utterly shocked.
".....The Security Bureau is still there, but the foxes being particularly lively have caused a slight foundational issue."
