Chapter 102 The Incompetent Swallow, and Xu Ran's Help!
I may be no longer in the martial arts world, but my legend lives on.
Xu Ran hasn't fished in a long time. Ever since he participated in several competitions and amazed anglers across the country, he has completely disappeared.
For him, living a leisurely life on the farm every day, he really didn't have time to participate in fishing competitions.
Go when you need the money.
It's like a singer named "Pu Shu" who enjoys life and lives comfortably on ordinary days. When he needs money, he starts going on TV shows to earn money, and then he goes back home after earning the money.
There's a fishing competition in Hufei these past few days, and I specially sent him an invitation, hoping he could participate.
Xu Ran was quite surprised.
"An invitation? Is it that formal?"
"Hubei is a major fishing province with many lakes and a large number of fishing enthusiasts."
"It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
Xu Ran was making these plans.
It doesn't really matter. I'll just participate and consider it earning some extra money to maintain some buzz.
Xu Ran had nothing to do in the morning, so she went to film the swallow family again.
The young couple is arguing again.
Xu Ran could tell that the female swallow was incubating the eggs, and at this time, the male swallow had to take on the responsibility of taking care of the family.
It's only early spring, the weather is a bit cold, and there aren't many insects, so male swallows have a harder time finding food.
An incompetent husband.
Xu Ran couldn't help but find it amusing.
What exactly did marriage bring to the male swallow?
This guy is so wronged.
"This guy is so stupid, he can't even build a nest or find food. He's lucky he even got to marry a wife."
"Fine, let's help it!"
Xu Ran thought to herself.
Of course, he filmed and recorded all of these scenes.
Gong Yanzi had no idea that her miserable state would be watched by hundreds of thousands of netizens.
Xu Ran still has some bread bugs left from her online purchase.
Swallows mainly eat various insects, and in special circumstances they will eat some berries.
Xu Ran retrieved the breadworms, then stood on the ground and called out to the male swallow, "Hey!"
"here!"
The male swallow called twice, but did not respond or pay any attention.
The farm is filled with a lot of noise during the day: the mooing of cows, the barking of dogs, the clucking of hens, and various bird calls outside.
But Xu Ran had his own way.
He whistled and waved his hand. The next second, two sparrows flew from outside the farm at a very fast speed toward Xu Ran.
Like two small fighter jets.
Very handsome.
They flew down to Xu Ran's hands. Xu Ran fed them both two worms first, then pointed to the male swallow and said to them, "Please tell that swallow that there are worms here, and I'll feed it."
Hearing Xu Ran's words, the little sparrow tilted its head and looked at the swallow.
The reason for using sparrows to relay messages is that swallows are friendly to birds and won't bully smaller birds, so the little sparrows don't feel much pressure.
The male swallow flew to the rooftop and stood there, seemingly wondering where it could find food.
Just then, two little sparrows fluttered their wings and came to its side, chirping away.
It even jumped in Xu Ran's direction.
Only then did the male swallow notice the breadworm on the table.
After the message was delivered, the two sparrows landed on Xu Ran's shoulders, one on each side, like two surveillance cameras.
Xu Ran called out to the male swallow again, "There are bugs here, come and eat them!"
After saying that, he took a few steps back to give the swallow plenty of space.
The male swallow stared at Xu Ran for a few seconds, then looked at the bread worm on the table. Finally, it floated down and landed on the table.
It ate two by itself first, then picked up five or six breadworms in its beak and flew towards the bird's nest.
Xu Ran also filmed and recorded this feeding scene.
He also added a voiceover to the video: "These swallows have it tough, let's help them and make their lives easier."
"Otherwise, I'll have to argue with my wife again when I get home."
The video is very interesting, Xu Ran is very kind-hearted, and the visuals are very pleasant to watch.
At that moment, a male swallow, carrying a breadworm in its beak, flew to the nest and deliberately stood smugly at the edge of the nest, pausing for a moment.
When the mother swallow saw that it had returned so quickly, she was about to scold it when she saw the worm in the male swallow's beak.
The mother swallow immediately changed her tone, chirping excitedly, and even came closer to touch the male swallow's head.
The male swallow fed the female swallow an insect and then chirped twice.
The two seemed to be saying, "Honey, you're amazing! I knew you were the most capable!"
"Of course, it's just a small matter!"
The mother swallow is quite good too; she argues when she needs to, and she provides emotional value when necessary.
Now the male swallow is living comfortably.
Xu Ran did a good deed and felt quite good.
Help small families achieve happiness and fulfillment.
After the video was posted, it received a large number of likes and comments.
"The farmer is a good man!"
"Haha, this male swallow is so useless, so weak!"
"If it weren't for the farmer's help, I don't know how the swallow family would have survived!"
"Watching them argue is just like watching my wife!"
Seeing everyone's comments, Xu Ran specifically explained on behalf of the male swallow: "The swallows started incubating the eggs a little early. There are fewer insects recently, so the male swallow couldn't do anything about it. It's not a matter of ability; it's mainly due to the unfavorable environment."
His explanation also received a lot of likes.
Life continues in an orderly manner.
In the afternoon, Xu Ran, having nothing else to do, went to feed the sparrows.
Because he is now the "King of Birds," sparrows are very affectionate towards him, so many sparrows land on his hands and shoulders.
Upon closer inspection, five sparrows were perched on one shoulder, all huddled together.
If he spreads his arms, they could be filled with people.
Coincidentally, two livestreamers who were hiking had just come down from the mountain and were passing by the farm when they saw this scene from afar.
"Family members, we just came down from the mountain. We walked in the mountains for two days and there are no problems at all."
"I didn't encounter any black bears or anything, so it's absolutely safe."
"Look at my brother Liang, he's so tired he doesn't even want to talk."
One of the anchors, named Zhang Ming, spoke to the camera.
He moved towards another person, named Sun Liang, who was so tired that he had no expression.
The two descended the mountain path, passed through a mountain village, and happened to pass by Xu Ran's farm.
The farm is beautiful now.
The first thing you see is a wooden fence surrounding a very large field.
Then you can see in the distance a park enclosed by gray cement walls. Inside the park are greenhouses, many bungalows, and some animal pens.
Just seeing a farm like this is a sight to behold.
I think it's beautiful.
Zhang Ming, with his sharp eyes, spotted someone doing something over the fence and immediately took out his binoculars to look.
At first glance, he thought he was seeing things.
He saw a man feeding sparrows.
There are still many sparrows.
"Raising sparrows? I've never heard of raising them like that!"
"Holy crap, when did sparrows become so friendly!"
Zhang Ming was completely bewildered.
"What did you see?" Sun Liang asked from the side.
"Someone is feeding sparrows, a lot of sparrows, it's outrageous," Zhang Ming replied.
"What's so outrageous about sparrows?"
"Look for yourself, all those sparrows are standing on him, and none of them are running away."
Zhang Ming handed the binoculars to Sun Liang, who then looked over from a distance.
He was stunned by what he saw.
The scene I saw was truly magical.
Xu Ran opened his hand, holding a handful of melon seeds. Several sparrows perched on his fingers and wrist, unafraid, and focused on eating.
There were also a few sparrows on his shoulder.
"Can you keep sparrows as pets? I've never heard of that!"
Zhang Ming immediately pointed the camera at Xu Ran in the distance, and after zooming in, he made sure the viewers in the live stream could see her.
There are wise people in the mountains.
No one had ever seen a sparrow like this before.
For a moment, netizens were also stunned.
The barrage of comments immediately surged in.
