Chapter 168 The Gift Ran Away
Jian Ning tried to comfort herself.

She should have guessed that the rewards would also have bugs someday, given that the system was running with a bug.

She took a deep breath.

Looking at the secret realm so close at hand, it was like a small world.

This was an experience she had never had before.

It's a pity that we have the secret realm, but we can't enter it.

When Jian Ning returned, she ran into the same two poachers again.

Jian Ning returned the anesthetic arrow, which she had pulled from the owl in her Qiankun Ring, to the two of them intact.

the next day.

According to Wuhu TV, someone was poaching in Anlao Mountain when he was injured by a tranquilizer arrow he had brought and collapsed in the forest.

The forest rangers caught the two men on the spot during their patrol.

The TV at home is playing the latest news.

The family is having breakfast.

The couple upstairs started their daily duel with clanging and banging.

Last night, Jian Ning, determined to mend her ways and work hard to improve herself, started a new day of playing games with her teammates after dinner.

Dragon dance has also been added this time.

When the three of them teamed up, Jian Ning was still the one who was the least skilled at the game.

There's nothing we can do about it. Maybe it's because she's been playing the game "Drop the Handkerchief" since elementary school, and everyone always liked to drop it on her back. That just means she's destined to never have the talent for games.

All games.

However, Jian Ning didn't forget her business while playing games.

She returned to her room, released the owl from her storage ring, and examined its wounds. Thanks to the medicine she had concocted, the wounds were healing very well.

The owl asked curiously, "Coo coo~" It was pitch black before, how come it's suddenly dawn?
Jian Ning stroked its little head with her index finger. "It's a secret. I'll take you to the Forestry Bureau later. Although your wound has healed, you still need to rest for a few more days. You've seen the conditions here; I can't take care of you."

The owl rolled its eyes.

"Coo coo~" I know the Forestry Bureau well; I often go there for a free meal. You don't need to take me; I can fly there myself.

After saying that, the owl flew out of the open window.

Jian Ning's words were still on her tongue when the blue sky outside had already lost all trace of the owl.

That evening, the TV station had another news story to tell.

"The owl, which had been away for a month, has returned to the rescue station."

As you may recall, this owl was the one who went to a farmer's house every day to catch chickens, and was accidentally injured by a trap set by the farmer. It stayed at the rescue station for ten days and was reluctant to leave in the end.

This afternoon, the staff at the rescue station saw it strolling around inside with practiced ease, its shoulder injured again.

It seems our owl already knows that humans will help it. For details, please see the following report.

Jian Ning watched the owl on TV, munching away on meat with gusto. It wasn't shy at all in front of the camera, even flapping its wings to show off its majesty.

Jian Ning looked at the scene and unconsciously smiled, relieved.

On New Year's Eve.

Even though fireworks are banned, Wuhu is still filled with the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks everywhere.

The smell of fireworks drifted in through the window.

Jian Ning closed the window.

There is no tradition of staying up all night on New Year's Eve in my family.

Jian Ning gave each of her family members a red envelope and then went into her room.

She closed the window, lay down on the bed, and suddenly felt that something was wrong with the pillow.

She reached under the pillow and pulled out a red envelope.

Just like when she was a child, every New Year's Eve, her grandparents would slip a red envelope under her pillow.

Jian Ning placed the red envelope in front of her chest, pulled on the red string around her neck, and groped for the jade Guanyin hanging from the string, holding it in her hand.

Actually, after her uncle and aunt bought a new house and the old house in their hometown collapsed, she never came back to celebrate the New Year again.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for several years, it's reasonable for her to use work as an excuse not to come home for the Lunar New Year.

But only she knew that she felt she had never had a complete home that truly belonged to her.

For her, it would be too presumptuous to intrude on someone else's happiness.

With her uncle, aunt, and younger brother around, Grandma will be very happy.

Even without her, they are still a complete family.

At this moment, Jian Ning's palms were burning hot as she held the red envelope.

It turns out that even though she's over twenty, she can still be a child in her grandmother's eyes. Perhaps because she lacked some family affection from a young age, Jian Ning is aware of her deficiency and is overly sensitive in matters of family.

She could hear the Spring Festival Gala playing in the living room outside, as well as her uncles, aunts, and grandmother talking about who the performers were.

She got out of bed, put on her shoes, and prepared to go out to the living room to join everyone.

Just then, a knocking sound came from the windowpane.

Jian Ning walked over and pulled back the curtains to take a look.

"Owl, what brings you here?"

She opened the window.

The owl hopped a few steps forward, landed on the windowsill, and placed the bird it was carrying in its beak in front of her.

"Coo coo~" Ningning, this is a gift for you.

Having finally escaped the owl's beak, the magpie angrily chirped, "Chirp chirp~ You're so high and mighty, you're giving me away as a gift?"
As soon as it finished speaking, it flew into the night sky.

The next second, the owl swooped down, snatched it up, and brought it back.

Jian Ning smiled wryly, "Owl, thank you, I appreciate your kindness."

The owl pinned the magpie down with its claws.

"Coo coo~" Ningning, quickly accept your gift.

Jian Ning was helpless. Judging from the situation, she was determined to accept the owl gift.

"Okay, I'll take it."

The owl pushed the magpie into the house, startling it so much that it flew around wildly for a while before landing on the wardrobe.

"Coo coo~" Goodbye.

Jian Ning closed the window and saw the owl fly away and land on the roof of the building next door.

It seems it will keep an eye on the magpie for a few more days to see if it behaves.

She closed the window and turned around to look.

The magpie perched on the wardrobe stared at her with shining eyes, as if it had discovered a new continent.

"Chirp chirp~" You human can actually talk to it, so can you understand what this magpie means?
Jian Ning nodded, "Yes, I can understand."

The magpie jumped excitedly twice: "Chirp chirp~" Really?
Jian Ning nodded again and said, "I'll let you out tomorrow morning. The owl will be watching outside, probably afraid you'll run away."

The magpie suddenly uttered a human-like phrase: "Okay, okay~"

This time, it was Jian Ning's turn to be shocked.

"Can you speak human language?"

Magpie: "Chirp chirp~" Of course, what's so difficult about speaking human language? As long as I want to learn, I can speak it.

In Jian Ning's memory, she only knew that myna birds could talk, but she never expected that this little magpie in front of her could too.

She thought it in her heart, and that's what she said.

Upon hearing this, the magpie proudly raised its little head.

"Chirp chirp~" Magpies are the smartest!
Jian Ning coaxed her perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, you're the smartest."

The next day was the Spring Festival.

Every year during Chinese New Year, the whole family gets up exceptionally early.

Jian Ning was no exception. Although she wasn't their biological daughter, she would still go with others to pay New Year's visits to their relatives.

So early in the morning, she got up and released the magpie.

After she finished visiting her great-aunt's house for the New Year and had dinner, she returned.

As soon as Jian Ning entered the room, she heard the familiar 'knock knock' sound on the glass.

She drew back the curtains and looked.

The owl has brought the magpie back again!
She opened the window.

The owl skillfully put the magpie down and held it down with its claws.

"Coo coo~" Ningning, the gift ran away, I've brought it back to you.

Jian Ning tried to politely decline the owl's offer: "Actually, I don't really want to keep a bird."

She thought that this would make the owl give up.

As a result, the owl stared at her and said with great certainty.

"Coo coo~" Ningning, you need it.

Jian Ning frowned in confusion and asked, "Why?"

It's the beginning of the month, and I was thinking of giving myself a couple of days off. I went to the hospital again today, so I got an extra day off. I'll resume two chapters of updates tomorrow, around 23:55 PM each day.
