Chapter 249 You Are Not Smart
A little leopard cat was taking small steps in the woods.
Look here and there, smell the grass when you see it, and run over to take a closer look when you see blooming wild flowers.
After taking a look at it, he turned his head and asked his son Nimu what kind of flower this was and whether it was poisonous.
After getting the answer that it was not poisonous and just an ordinary flower, the cat turned its head back and continued to stare at the flower, and stretched out its pink little tongue to lick the pistil.
"Bah chirp."
The cat smacked its lips, tasted it, shook its head, and turned away again, wanting to ask its own Nimu why the flower was not sweet, but unexpectedly there was no figure behind it.
But the cat was not in a hurry, and looked in another direction -
Sure enough, Ni Mu had already walked in front of her.
The kitten trotted after it.
"Mud bath."
"Ok?"
“Why aren’t flowers sweet?”
“Flowers are not sweet.”
"But honey is sweet. It's what bees collect from flowers!"
"Mr. Yogurt is indeed a capable big cat, good at observation."
Li Mu looked down at the kitten at his feet and paused. "But bees only collect pollen from flowers. It is the pollen they bring back to the nest and brew that is honey."
"Brewed~"
"Yes."
“Just like the chicken and mushrooms you made, they don’t taste good at first, but they become delicious after they are brewed!”
"Mr. Yogurt can draw inferences from one example. I admire you."
"Right! I'm smart!"
The cat was in a very good mood when she heard the praise. She sprinted to the front and continued to fulfill her duty as a pioneer.
Carefree, without worries, like a happy little cat fairy.
Li Mu smiled slightly and followed.
The dense leaves hide the singing birds, and the fragrant breeze keeps the beauty here.
The mountains are quiet and empty, and the chirping of various birds sounds clearer than in the city, often causing the kitten to stop and look up to look for them.
"Cuckoo, Cuckoo"
At this time, bursts of bird calls could be heard from the tall treetops.
The kitten raised its head high and soon locked onto the bird that made the sound.
However, before she could decide whether to catch the bird to play with, something fell straight down from the tree canopy towards her head.
The cat remained motionless, staring up at the falling object, and did not dodge. She only drew her head back when the object was about to hit her.
"Clap!"
The thing hit the kitten's head and hit the ground, breaking into pieces and spilling out the egg white and yolk.
"Well"
The kitten lowered its head and sniffed, then continued to look up at the treetops.
There is a bird's nest on the tree branch, and a bird is standing next to the nest, looking down.
When he saw a cat under the tree, his eyes were obviously panicked for a moment, but when he remembered that he was on a tall tree, he calmed down and put his head into the bird's nest again. After a while, he pushed another bird egg down.
The cat squatted under the tree, confused. He turned his head to look at Li Mu who had come over, "Ni Mu, has this mother bird gone mad?"
"Why do you say that?"
"It dropped the bird eggs!" The cat stretched out its little paws and pointed at the two broken bird eggs in front of it.
"It's not the mother bird." Li Mu also looked up at the treetops. After pushing down two eggs, the big bird had already crawled into the bird's nest and squatted down.
"Isn't it the mother bird?" the cat looked puzzled.
"That's right, this bird's nest doesn't belong to him either."
The big bird in the nest has dark gray feathers on its upper body and from throat to chest, and white narrow horizontal stripes on its abdomen and flanks. It is the great cuckoo, also known as the cuckoo.
"The bird's nest doesn't belong to him either?" The kitten's expression suddenly became serious. "He's a thief!"
"You can't call it a thief. This is its habit."
"If you steal a bird's nest and push down the eggs it lays, you are a thief!"
"This bird is called the Great Cuckoo. It can't build a nest or hatch eggs. The host incubates and raises the eggs for it. That's its nature."
"this is not good!"
"Of course, Master Yogurt, don't do such a thing." Li Mu paused and said, "But Master Yogurt is upright for cats and can distinguish right from wrong. I think he doesn't need me to remind him."
"That's right!" "Let's go, it's time to go home."
"Don't care about the bag bird, meow?"
"cuckoo."
"Cuckoo~"
"This kind of bird is born this way. During the breeding season, they will find a host, push the host's eggs out of the nest, lay their own eggs, and let the host bird help it raise its children."
"How stupid!"
"What's stupid?"
"The mother bird is stupid! She can't recognize that the eggs aren't hers!"
"Of course I'm not as smart as Master Yogurt." Li Mu smiled, "But this is another skill of the cuckoo."
"What skill?"
"The eggs it lays will change color depending on the host bird's eggs."
"What do you mean?"
“I don’t know the specific principle.”
Li Mu said, "Anyway, the eggs it lays will be the same as the host's eggs. For example, if it is a host magpie, then the eggs it lays will be the same as the magpie's eggs, so the magpie will not be able to find out that its eggs have been replaced."
“It seems very powerful”
"Well, this is a natural ability of the cuckoo, just like Lord Yogurt is very good at catching mice."
"Well."
The cat nodded as if it understood, looked at the two broken bird eggs on the ground, and in accordance with the principle of not wasting, lowered its head and licked them.
"Don't eat yogurt, sir. It's too dirty."
"Not dirty."
"It's covered in dirt."
"It's just mud~"
The kitten licked it and then raised its head. "Let's go."
The man and the cat walked along the return route towards the courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Brother Nan is not here, so we have to walk all the way.
The cat walked with his head shaking. Suddenly, he thought of the cuckoo and turned to look at Li Mu. "How come you don't understand the principle?"
"what?"
“Cuckoos lay eggs that are all identical.”
"Because knowledge is infinite, there are many principles in this world that humans don't understand. I'm not omnipotent, so it's normal that I don't know."
"You're not smart!"
"Master Yogurt is smart, so tell me what the principle is?"
"Master Yogurt, listen to you."
"That's it"
"correct."
"Let me teach Master Yogurt a new idiom."
"What idiom?"
"The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest."
"What do you mean?"
"It's what you saw just now. The cuckoo occupied another bird's nest and asked the other mother bird to hatch its eggs. This is called occupying the magpie's nest."
"Wine in Nestle~"
"The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest."
"The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest~"
"Yes, jiu refers to the cuckoo. The idiom means that a place is not one's own, but it is obtained by force."
"Well"
The cat whispered.
The sun gradually sets in the west and falls behind the mountain, leaving a dazzling afterglow.
The man and the cat walked into the courtyard, greeted by the Great Sage.
Mao'er has been pestering Li Mu to teach her how to write new idioms.
