Chapter 223 Dove Release in Taoyuan
Chapter 223 Dove Release in Taoyuan
The opening time of the competition is public. At [-] o'clock in the morning, after the pigeons leave the release area, the chief referee will promptly send the information to all participating pigeon fanciers.
The weather was normal, the wind direction remained unchanged and the wind speed was not high. The pigeons flew for six hours and should arrive home at one o'clock at noon.
When he returned to his dormitory in the afternoon, Xing Yi took out the competition regulations and read them carefully twice. He repeatedly calculated the time accurately. During the meal, he got close to Liao Zhaofeng and said that because the peaches were delicious, he told his friends in the county that they would come over to buy some tomorrow.
Liao Zhaofeng said: "What are you buying? I will pick them when they come."
"It's quite a lot."
"In this way, they can pick as much as they want, and twenty kilograms of them will be considered as gifts from us."
"Okay, thank you in advance."
The next morning, Liao Zhaofeng asked Xing Yi: "When will your friend arrive?"
"We're leaving in the morning, so we'll probably arrive at one o'clock at noon."
After lunch, Liao Zhaofeng said: "Let's wait in the orchard first and tell them to go directly to the orchard."
Just call the driver and ask him to bring the car over.But it is shut down.
"This dog thing."
"It's Saturday, it's rare to be with my family."
The two took a taxi to the orchard.
Xing Yi said: "I made it clear to them, call me when you come to the intersection of the Second Ring Road."
When they got there, Liao Zhaofeng said: "They don't know which ones are ripe and which ones are immature. Let's pick some first."
After picking for a while, Xing Yi said: "It's almost time, I'll go to the intersection to have a look."
He walked around the orchard and came back and said: "Unlucky, there was a car accident on the highway, waiting for the traffic police."
"Highway accidents are handled quickly."
Xing Yi said: "A Santana is coming over there."
"Peach pickers? Let me go and see?"
Before they reached it, Liao Zhaofeng shouted: "Why are you here?"
It turned out to be a village car with open doors on both sides and two iron cages on the back seat.
"what is that?"
Stretching out his head, he saw a pigeon in the cage.
In front of the village director, the driver did not dare to lie and said frankly: "I am here to release pigeons for the Flying Pigeon Center."
"Did they give you money?"
"Give it."
"How much?"
"three hundred."
"Three hundred for one time? No wonder you're so interested in giving me too much."
"I didn't know the director wanted to use the car today."
Xing Yi was surprised: "Aren't there a lot of pigeons in the flying center? Just release these ten or so?"
The driver said: "This is specially trained."
"They must be higher-end than other people's pigeons, so they need special training."
"This orchard is a good place for pigeons to fly."
"Still not letting go? What are you waiting for?"
"There is a time limit, after ten past one."
Everyone looked at their watches. It was now twelve forty, still half an hour away.
"Take the pigeons, put them in peaches, and send Brother Xing over."
"Where to go?"
"It's not far, right next to the highway intersection."
"Wait a little longer and I'll let the pigeon go."
"I can't wait. Their car broke down on the highway over there. If you don't hurry up, the car will be towed away."
"That……"
"Don't be nagging, hurry up."
Xing Yi said: "Does this pigeon have to be released here?"
"I didn't say that."
"That's easy, we'll leave it on the road."
"That's not enough?"
"Okay, Director."
After carrying the pigeon cage inside, Liao Zhaofeng said, "I want to pick some more peaches. Just come back and pick me up."
As the Santala drove onto the highway, Xing Yi told the driver: "You concentrate on driving, I will be responsible for watching the road, and I will call you if I see them."
It was five minutes past one, but they were nowhere to be seen. At ten o'clock, they entered the tunnel. When they came out of the tunnel, they were in a very long canyon. Xing Yi said, "I saw them. Turn around."
"You can't fall down. You have to go down to the toll station in front and then turn back up."
"Then how do you release this pigeon?"
"Open the window and let them out one by one."
"is this OK?"
"Okay, don't worry."
Xing Yi caught the pigeon and took a look. The seals on the anklets, the electronic rings, and the seals on the wings were all there.
"Would you like to note the time?"
"no need."
He let the dove go.It takes at least 10 minutes for the pigeons to cross the valley, and at least half an hour when they reach the open area, reposition themselves, and fly toward the center.
Santana turned around at the toll station and came back to the tunnel entrance. Xing Yi got out of the car, walked half a mile, and took a taxi back to the college.
In the evening, he took the initiative to call Secretary-General Gu, who said weakly: "It's too bad. All five pigeons came back, but it's too late. The lottery quota has long been filled up."
Xing Yi said: "It's good to come back. The important thing is to participate. Anyway, I didn't pay a penny."
"I didn't lose anything, but the boss suffered a big loss."
"how do I say this?"
"Our pigeon came back to win the prize, and he had half of it. Now that the pigeon came late, the half is gone."
"He is the boss, does he care about this loss?"
"What do you mean by this? Do you know how much it is? Millions."
"Oh, so it is."
"It's very sad to have such a big loss."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. The problems with pigeons deserve serious study."
"Then you take the time to come down?"
"If you have time, let's take a look."
In the fourth week, which was the last week, the head teacher fainted in class.
The head teacher had said before that she had hypoglycemia and there were candy bars in her bag. She would eat one as soon as she felt uncomfortable. However, there were many things in the reading class during this time and she was really tired after working for such a long time.
Xing Yi and two students took turns carrying him to the school doctor's office. After the school doctor examined him, he first returned a tube of glucose solution.The doctor said: "The situation is still not good, so we should send him to a major hospital for examination."
Xing Yi and her classmates from the college sent the class teacher to a large hospital, paid the medical expenses in advance, and stayed overnight until her daughter arrived before leaving.
The female college student came and said: "I left in a hurry and didn't go to withdraw the money. I will definitely pay back the hospitalization fee I paid in advance some other time."
Xing Yi said: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it after the teacher gets better."
The female college student escorted them out and expressed her gratitude again and again.
The next day, I went to the hospital with Liao Zhaofeng. When I walked to the door, I saw Chen Hongyu walking out of it.
"Hi!" Xing Yi greeted him.
Chen Hongyu was surprised: "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"
Xing Yi said: "I came to the Agricultural College to study, and the class teacher was sick, so we came to see her. What about you, also come to see the sick?"
"Ah, something happened." Chen Hongyu looked back at the hospital corridor and said, "How long have you been here?"
"It's been more than twenty days and it's almost over."
"You've been here for so many days and you haven't even said a word to me?"
"What should I tell you? Think about it, how long has it been since you went to the water plant?"
"I'm very busy here. You are in charge of the water plant. You are the main one. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."
"That's wrong. You have the largest investment in the water plant. You are the major shareholder. You have the greatest influence on the production and operation."
"Forget it, this impact is not that big to me. You can do whatever you want, no need to worry about me."
"There's something wrong with what you said. What do you mean?"
"I have something else to do today, so I won't talk about it anymore. When you finish studying, call me and find a place so we can have a good chat."
"Okay, when will you return to Jinxiu?"
"There are still two or three days left." He raised his hands and left.
