Chapter 154: Preparation Eve
Bifang stepped onto the grass and the glider stayed quietly on the lake.
That will be his reliance across Europe.
The bearded Lennon, who was looking out at the lake, soon spotted the two men. He was wearing a hemp coat, his belly was trembling, he walked with a breeze, and he came up and gave Elwan a hug.
"Thank God, I've been waiting for you for a long time. These geese are almost frozen to death. If you hadn't come, I'm really afraid they would have frozen to death here."
Then Lennon extended his hand to Bifang, and his tone of praise sounded like an aria.
"Hello Mr. Bifang, at first I didn't understand why Erwan had to look for you, until I watched your live broadcast. My God, you are a modern hero! A living legend! Dayan is so lucky to meet you!"
Lennon bowed three times in a row, but he obviously could not speak Chinese and only used halting English.
Fortunately, the drone has an automatic translation function, and the subtitles are displayed in the live broadcast room.
But what no one expected was that Bifang actually responded in French: "It is my luck to be able to save these geese."
Elwan was stunned: " You know French?"
"Is it weird? You can speak Chinese, why can't I speak French?"
Does Bifang speak French?
Of course not, but he has a language proficiency voucher!
Now he speaks French and Chinese in almost the same way.
Elwan told him about Lennon's situation and didn't speak much English.
This is a common problem among the French. They have a strong spirit of French nationalism and generally hate Britain and even English. To the extent that the majority of people cannot speak English well, this situation seems out of place in Europe.
Water friends: ∑(っ°Д°;)っ!
[Fuck, Lao Fang can speak French? ]
【Awesome, awesome plus! 】
[This is a real academic master. What else does Lao Fang not know? French and English, proficient in two foreign languages, isn't this amazing? Can you tell me a secret of Tuva? ]
[What country is this? ...]
【I made it up.】
Anyone who has been to school and learned English knows how painful it is to master a foreign language, but Bifang actually knows two!
Seeing Bifang communicating with foreigners skillfully in French, all the netizens shed tears of envy.
"It's great that you can speak French." Lennon was very happy. "We should act as soon as possible without delay. You need to let the geese get familiar with you as soon as possible. You don't know when , and it will be more difficult for the geese to fly."
As he spoke, Lennon took out two sets of brown linen cloaks from the car and asked the two men to put them on.
Not only that, Bifang discovered that a young man hurriedly ran out of the RV.
The boy was only a head shorter than him, had brown hair, and looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.
When Etienne saw Bifang, his eyes lit up and he ran over.
Elvan scratched his head: "Um, this is my son, Etienne, your fan."
The boy rushed to Bifang and shouted excitedly.
"Hey! I know you. You are the gravedigger of prehistoric monsters! The wrestler of violent black bears! The hunter who devours wolves!"
Bifang, who was about to say hello, was stunned and almost managed to squeeze out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
What the hell are these weird nicknames?
"You are so awesome, especially your motto!" Etienne imitated Bifang's tone and said in a low voice, "The beast can smell your fear. The more afraid you are, the more excited it is. So cool! This is the most domineering thing I have ever heard."
"Can you sign an autograph for me?"
Etienne waved the white card in his hand and handed over a marker.
Bifang scratched his eyebrows and took the paper and pen. He occasionally watched anime and thought that this was probably the second year syndrome.
"The Lord of Black Flame" and "The True Eye of the Evil King" sound strange, but perhaps young people like these.
Bifang was not surprised that Elwan's son showed up here. If he had a father who planned to fly a glider across Europe for the sake of migratory birds, he would be able to walk sideways at school, and with this point he could pick up girls until his legs were weak.
What could be cooler than this?
Anyway, there will only be him and Elwan flying at that time, so it won’t be a problem.
But it's only November now. Do French students have their holidays so early?
Bifang took the brown linen robe and prepared to put it on.
[Ah, what kind of shape is this? ]
[Why do you have to wear a robe? It's ugly. ]
[Fuck, he looks like some kind of native African wizard]
The audience in front of the screen felt that the clothes were ugly and didn’t understand why Bifang wore it.
"Because the reason why white-fronted geese are on the verge of extinction is not only because of environmental damage, but also because of the uncontrolled hunting and indiscriminate killing by humans."
Bifang found the opening of the robe and put it on.
"So we can't let the geese think we are human, so that they will be wary of other humans. Only by dressing like this will the geese trust me. I think Dr. Erwan dressed like this before the migratory birds were born?"
"That's right." Elwan nodded after changing his clothes. "When geese are born, they regard the first person they see as their parent. This is called imprinting. In order to make them afraid of humans, I also trained them to fire guns. They must run away when they see humans and also run away when they hear gunshots. I must never let them have a good impression of humans."
[I don’t know why, I suddenly feel sad]
【Tears】
[To be honest, environmentalists are always criticized because there are too few people who are truly willing to work hard. Those who only speak out for the sake of speaking out are just parrots.]
[Yes, Lao Fang is really awesome. He usually pays attention to environmental protection. This time, for a dozen wild geese, he flew 3,000 kilometers without hesitation.]
[By the way, is it okay to broadcast it like this? Will those hunters pretend to be like this too? ]
Bifang shook his head. "That's not the case. Birds recognize each other based on many factors, not just wearing a robe. If Professor Erwan wasn't here, it would be useless for me to wear a robe. That's why the professor had to fly with me. Without him, the geese wouldn't follow me."
Several people put on their robes and came into the RV. Only then could everyone see the appearance of the geese clearly.
A dozen wild geese huddled together for warmth, and two black ones stood out among them. They were the Barnacle geese.
"These two are Aga and Amu." Etienne pointed at two white-cheeked barnacle geese and said excitedly, "I witnessed their birth with my own eyes! They were sticky and fishy, but they look much better now."
"It's a nice name." Bifang smiled.
"These geese have all been implanted with microchips, vaccinated, and registered." Lennon touched one of the geese, "Each one has a number."
"Get vaccinated?" Bifang doesn't know much about the situation in Europe.
"That's right. Every one of them needs to be vaccinated, otherwise they can't leave the Schengen area." Elwan picked up a cage. "Now everything is technological. This is called progress."
Lennon also came up to say: "From a technological point of view, it is progress, but from an ecological point of view, it is regression."
Bifang joined in and suddenly saw a photo in the car. He picked it up and asked Lennon, "Is this you?"
"Yes." Lennon adjusted his hat.
"You used to hunt?"
"Yes." Lennon was carrying boxes, and Bifang was beside him. "We all hunted and fished in the wetlands. We caught birds to eat. The wetlands were beautiful and life was great. That's when I became interested in birds. But then the developer wanted to drain the wetlands, and we objected."
"You lost." Bifang had no doubt.
"Obviously, I later turned to studying birds." Lennon put the wooden box outside and opened it. A group of geese ran out chirping, but they did not take off. The weather was too cold and they all huddled together.
Erwan handed Bifang a whistle and said, "I made this by imitating the call of wild geese. You will run with us later. Let the wild geese get familiar with you as soon as possible. Let Etienne follow you first."
Bifang nodded. Time was urgent and he had no time to waste. Under Etienne's leadership, he ran with the whistle in his hand.
The geese who heard the whistle immediately ran after the two men, but then found that they could not keep up. They gradually flapped their wings, but flew with difficulty.
A drone mixed in and took aerial photos from high altitude. This scene made the audience in the live broadcast room extremely excited. It was the first time for many people to see live wild geese.
This is the first flight!
First times are always precious.
Lennon, who was standing next to the RV, couldn't help but smile as he watched the geese trying to fly.
Elwan, who was standing by, kicked a stone away. "I am so annoyed. How long will it take? It's already been ten days!"
"Don't worry, Elwan, the license will be available soon." Lennon comforted him a little.
"I looked at the weather forecast and it will snow heavily the day after tomorrow. No matter when the application is approved, we must take off before then."
Lennon spread his hands helplessly: "Hey, don't be like this, I have already promised Johnny that he will do it as soon as possible, maybe there will be news tomorrow."
"Today is Sunday, they will only go to church to worship!"
Waiting for Bifang was just one of the reasons, but if the permit could be obtained, they might have migrated with the geese long ago.
After putting in so much effort, how can I give up!
