Chapter 786 - 786: Feeding the Bird
Now, it always looks adorable. Every time it was touched, it would shake the fur on its head. Because the wound on its leg had yet to recover, it often stood at a spot and did not move much, making it look rather stupid.
“Look at it. It’s so cute.” Melinda held it in her hand. It was small and almost weightless.
Dan fed the little bug he had caught to it. The little bird chewed it bit by bit. Before it could finish a bite, it went to Dan’s hand and pecked again.
Looking at its gluttonous and adorable appearance, Sharon smiled and said, “Eat slowly. No one is fighting with you.”
“It must be starving.” Seeing that it had finished eating the little bug, Shane took the grasshopper over and prepared to feed it. The grasshopper was too big for it to eat in one bite, so Shane removed the grasshopper leg and fed it first.
“Little thing, you’re not big, but you sure can eat.” Melinda couldn’t help but want to pat its head, but as it was injured previously and didn’t eat much, it looked really hungry and she couldn’t bear to disturb it.
Sharon found some herbs nearby that could heal injuries. She smashed a rock and applied it to the bird’s injured leg. The bird’s wound wouldn’t heal so quickly and its mental state was still not really good.
Dan started a fire and prepared to roast the worms. Shane went nearby to pick up some firewood.
Sharon placed the stem and leaves of the fragrant flower on a large stone slab and used the stone to break the stem and leaves.
Green juice flowed out. Sharon thought of the time she played with some children when she was young. The boys would play as the father and the girls would play as the mother. At that time, they would find all kinds of weeds and smash them with stones to pretend to cook.
Sharon distributed the green mud on the stems and leaves of the fragrant flowers to everyone and said, “Everyone, apply this on your bodies to avoid mosquitoes.”
After Dan took it, he applied it to the places on his arms and legs that had been bitten by mosquitoes. Green juice remained where it had been applied, making him look a little dirty. He even applied it to his face, instantly turning into a green giant.
Sharon smiled as she watched him apply it all over his face. Although the live-stream had ended, their current videos would still be made into side stories or edited into highlights later. This Dan really didn’t have the burden of an idol at all.
Melissa, on the other hand, refused to apply the dirty thing on her body. She would rather be bitten by a mosquito.
Sharon applied it seriously on her arms and neck. Even if it was the last day, a
helicopter would come to pick them up at night, she still wanted to do what needed to be done ritually.
Melinda was still playing with the little bird. The little bird’s mental state had improved a little.
Sharon went to wash the green juice on her hands and walked over to play with the bird.
Sharon felt that it was their fate to pick up this bird before they left.
Actually, it was also this little bird’s luck and blessing to be picked up by them because if it hadn’t met Sharon and the others, it might have been on its last breath long ago. She didn’t know if it could last until now.
“Little cutie, you can’t find Mommy anymore. Come home with me. I’ll build you a bird’s nest or a luxurious birdcage when we get back, okay?” Sharon said to the little bird. She had the urge to bring this little bird home.
The little bird seemed to understand Sharon’s words and actually nodded, making everyone laugh.
This accidental nod made Sharon even more reluctant to put down the little bird. She thought that since the little bird was so small, she could secretly put it in her pocket and bring it back.
But Sharon quickly dismissed this thought. This little bird didn’t belong to the city outside the forest. It didn’t belong to any birdcage. It only belonged here, to the blue sky.
“Let’s let this little bird go.” Sharon felt that although she had only been fated with this little bird for a short day, it was still a beautiful encounter, just like the people she had gotten to know in Man vs. Wild.
In the evening, the production team’s helicopter came to pick everyone up.
Sharon faced the lush forest with tears in her eyes. This period of time had been difficult and unforgettable..
