The myna, also known as the Hainan myna, is a typical migratory bird in the south. I wonder how this one ended up near Beijing.

In the north there are mynas, in the south there are wrens, and in later generations there are parrots.

These three birds are among the best at mimicking human speech.

The myna bird is even more remarkable than the common myna and parrot. It has a clear and bright voice and can not only mimic speech but also sing opera.

In his past life, Chang Kun had seen people raising this kind of bird in short videos, and its singing was incredibly enchanting.

The myna bird on the treetop at this moment, like a crow, is entirely black, but its feathers are smoother and shinier, and it has some yellow wattles next to its eyes that bulge out when it calls, which is quite amusing.

Wow, such a rare little bird, encountering it is a matter of fate.

If we take her home and give her a companion, she'll be overjoyed.

Chang Kun originally planned to shoot it down from a distance with a slingshot, but even with his sure-hit skill, it would still inevitably damage its feathers.

But the myna bird was not afraid of people, and it did not fly away as Chang Kun approached step by step.

Only five or six meters away from the big tree, I took out a handful of corn kernels from my spatial storage and scattered them on the ground in front of me. I took a few steps back and hid to the side to see if the myna would be attracted down.

To Chang Kun's embarrassment, the myna not only ignored the corn kernels, but also opened its sharp little beak and chirped loudly a few times. It even turned its back, flicked its tail feathers, and "plop" produced a clump of bird droppings.

This little guy is so intelligent!

Chang Kun was not discouraged; his eyes shone even brighter.

Raising a bird with a high level of intelligence is more rewarding.

With autumn approaching and deep winter just a few months away, mynahs from the south will find it difficult to survive in the northern forests.

"I'm saving your life, little one."

Chang Kun muttered to himself as he casually picked up a grasshopper from the nearby bushes.

If you won't eat the corn kernels, you should at least eat the insects, right?

Fearing the grasshopper was too big for the myna's appetite, Chang Kun tore it in half, letting the yellowish-green juice flow out, and threw it far away under the tree where the myna was.

The myna seemed interested, tilting its little head to look down at the tree, its tiny claws hopping around on the treetop.

Why aren't you coming down to eat? Aren't you hungry?

After waiting for a while, seeing that the myna still hadn't flown down, Chang Kun got a little anxious, quietly took out his slingshot, and carefully inserted a small pebble.

If all else fails, this is the only option left.

Just as the slingshot's strap was taut and ready to fire, the myna finally couldn't resist, spread its wings, and fluttered down from the treetop.

Squatting next to the grasshopper, the myna bird looked around with its small eyes, seemingly trying to find Chang Kun's figure.

With the aid of his disguise skills and the fact that Chang Kun had retreated a sufficient distance, how could he possibly be easily discovered?

The myna bird circled the torn grasshopper again and again, but finally, it couldn't resist and reached out to peck at the food on the ground.

Little one, if you can't resist the temptation of delicious food, then you'd better come home with me obediently.

Chang Kun was secretly delighted and took small steps closer to the object.

Telekinetic Retrieval at Close Range – Within a five-meter radius, lightweight items can be stolen into the space. With this skill, as long as you get within five meters, the myna bird will become yours.

The myna bird shook its head and tilted its neck back, trying to swallow the half-eaten grasshopper, completely unaware that danger was slowly approaching.

Ten meters... eight meters... seven meters...

At this point, Chang Kun stopped hiding and suddenly darted forward, finally entering the five-meter range.

Open your palm towards the direction of the myna bird and activate the telekinetic attack skill!

The myna bird felt something pulling it, but without struggling, everything suddenly went black...

Got it!

Chang Kun looked at the motionless myna bird in the space with a smug smile. "Little guy, come home with me and enjoy your life!"

I wonder if this rather intelligent myna can learn to speak human language, and if I can teach it to sing opera, wow, this myna could be the leading lady of a circus.

He pulled the myna bird out of the space. The little guy was probably terrified; it didn't move at all in Chang Kun's hand, as if it were dead.

As I gently touched the yellow wattle next to its eye, I suddenly felt a wetness on my hand.

Uh... was he scared?

Chang Kun was speechless. He regretted bringing it out to play.

After looking at it over and over for a while to make sure the little guy was alive and well, I put it back into my spatial storage. I'll keep it for my younger sisters to play with when I get home.

Continuing deeper into the mountains, we sensed the presence of a blue sheep earlier. Blue sheep meat is highly nutritious, so we definitely can't let it pass us by.

The blue sheep climbed quite high, going up the ridge. It took Chang Kun more than half an hour to finally see the blue sheep in the distance.

At this moment, the blue sheep was standing on the steep mountain wall, looking down and nibbling on the tender green grass and shoots on the cliff.

This guy knows how to find a good spot. On this cliff, neither predators like wolves nor hunters can get close at all.

Even if a hunter sees it from a distance of 1,800 to 2,000 meters, he simply cannot hit it.

However, Chang Kun has a sure-hit skill, so this distance is no problem for him.

The hardest part is calculating the direction in which the Green Sheep will fall after being killed. Otherwise, if you just kill the sheep, you won't be able to climb the ridge and get the Green Sheep, which is a waste of effort.

After observing for a moment, Chang Kun had a plan in mind. He held the gun in his hand and gently aimed.

*Smack!*

Gunshots echoed through the valley, and sheep collapsed as the sound faded!

Sure enough, the blue sheep rolled towards Chang Kun's location.

He ran over and picked up the blue sheep. The blue sheep, which was plump and strong as autumn approached, weighed more than 100 jin.

With this big blue sheep as our base, we won't have to worry about not having meat on our journey south.

He didn't forget his other mission in the mountains: to find some good wood to make a princess bed for Xiao Zixia.

After careful selection, I found a patch of Chinese toon trees.

Not only are the leaves of the Chinese toon delicious, but its wood is also excellent. It has a beautiful grain, a pleasant aroma, and is insect-repellent, making it perfect for making beds and furniture.

Chinese toon trees are difficult to cut down. This is simple: just put the soil from the ground into your space, expose the roots underneath, and take the tree along with the roots.

Several Chinese toon trees were placed in the space. It was getting dark, so Chang Kun did not linger and quickly left the mountain along the ridge.

On the way, I sensed squirrels darting up and down in the woods next to me, and casually shot five of them with my slingshot.

Wild rabbit and pheasant meat are rather dry, and mutton has a slightly gamey taste, but the best meat in these mountains is still squirrel meat.

Night has fallen, and various nocturnal animals in the mountains are slowly making their appearance.

Looking at the various prey he sensed, Chang Kun did not make a move.

As for meat, as long as there's enough to eat, that's fine. If we linger in the mountains any longer, it will only cause unnecessary worry for our families.

I got on my bicycle and before I even reached the alley entrance, I could see my mother leading the way, with Xiaoqing, Xiaomu, Xiaoshui, and Xiuer beside her, all standing on tiptoe and peering into the distance.

Cheng Min, standing on a large rock, was the first to see Chang Kun and waved to him happily.

Looking at his watch, Chang Kun realized it was almost eight o'clock. He was a little shocked. The journey in and out of the mountains was long, and even if he rushed, it would still be too late to get back.

His family was worried about him, so they waited for him at the alley entrance.
