After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 374 Done
Li Zhuo touched the trunk, it was still relatively smooth, so it shouldn't be too rough.

He tried to climb up the tree, but he only climbed about three meters before the woodpecker discovered his attempt.

With a sting, it flew out and landed on a tree in the distance.

Now Li Zhuo had nothing to do with it, so he could only retreat from the tree again.

The trunk is still a bit rough, and there are some tree shavings on his clothes.

After getting off the tree, he patted his clothes and tidied them up to keep them tidy.

He looked up at the woodpecker, which was tilting its head to look at Li Zhuo, with a slightly mocking expression, as if mocking Li Zhuo for being overconfident.

What to do?Get a gun to shoot it down?

No, this can't be done. If you do this, you may be given a very low score by the incense burner.

Li Zhuo left from here and went back to the roadside slope.

He said to the two housekeepers:

"I saw a very beautiful bird in the woods. It is a woodpecker. It is very beautiful. I like it so much. Can I catch it and raise it for a few days?"

Chinese Internal Affairs says:

"Take us to have a look, we have to make sure it is a protected animal."

Li Zhuo took the two of them to the woods and showed them the woodpecker still on the tree. The Chinese housekeeper looked at it carefully and said:

"I see. This is the yellow-bellied sap-sucking woodpecker, one of the four sap-sucking woodpeckers. If I remember correctly, it has a large population and many individuals. It is not a local protected bird."

But to be sure, they checked the Internet again, and then said:
"Maybe it's a bit of a hassle, it's not a protected animal, but it's an IUCN species of minimum concern, and under the US Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, it's illegal to kill or possess this bird without a permit .”

After hearing this, Li Zhuo asked:

"So I can't feed for a few days? Come on, there's always a way, guys."

After hearing this, the white man asked:

"Sir, you plan to keep it for only a few days, right? Will you let it go after a few days?"

"Yes, I prefer to raise birds. You know, I have a group of various kinds of birds at home. I just saw it and thought it was very beautiful. I want to raise it for two days. Don't worry, I will let it go when I leave .”

The white man thought about it, and then said:

"If it's just for two days, it's not enough to constitute murder, sale or possession, that is, it's not illegal. Maybe there is still a way."

After hearing this, Li Zhuo smiled and said:

"If this thing can be done, then I will give you a tip of $1000 each, no matter how much you contribute, I will honor it."

$1000 doesn't sound like much, but the point is that it's a small thing in normal sense.

For $1000, this is just a little fun for rich people when they are purely bored, and it won't make people think too much.

It's not that he can't afford to pay them five thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars, but it's unnecessary, and it will make the two housekeepers suspect that there is something wrong with it.

How to catch a bird? Why do you give so much money? Is there some shady secret?

What's more, $1000 is not a small amount for Americans, and the monthly income of ordinary Americans is only three or four thousand.

Those who work in a five-star hotel can get a higher salary, but it's not much higher. In short, they are happy to earn the $1000 that flew in.

The white internal affairs immediately said:

"Well, sir, I think so. The bird was injured. How did it get hurt? It's just... It suddenly suffered from wing cramps while flying, and then fell to the ground, so it was injured.

We saw it when it was injured, and it just so happened that you are a staunch animal protectionist. When you saw a bird injured, you couldn't bear it, so you rescued it properly, healed its injury, and then released it. Returning to nature, doing a good deed.Sir, do you think I am right? "

After Li Zhuo heard it, he smiled and said:
"Yes, that's the case. I can't bear it. I feel that it is seriously injured. It is necessary to take care of it in time, otherwise it will affect its safety."

"Yes, we have the same opinion. Thank you for saving such a bird that is in desperate need of help." The two housekeepers immediately echoed.

Li Zhuo said:

"But the bird is injured, but it is hiding in a tree hole, how can I help it?"

Chinese Internal Affairs says:

"How about we come here in the evening, when the woodpecker has returned to its nest, we can take the opportunity to take it away from the tree hole, what do you think?"

This is a good suggestion. After nightfall, the bird will go back to sleep. At that time, if it goes straight to the nest, it will basically be difficult to fly even if it has wings.

But the time must be grasped, it should not be too late, otherwise you will drive over to catch the bird and be noticed by others, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Zhuo felt that there was no better idea than this.

But it was still early, Li Zhuo got into the car, and then they went to Allentown together, and they had to find a restaurant to fill their stomachs first.

Several people wandered around the city, and finally chose a Japanese barbecue restaurant located in the center of the city.

This store is opened by a Japanese, and the environment is not bad, quite clean, and the local consumption level is considered above average.

Li Zhuo ordered grilled beef tongue, grilled steak, spicy pork, grilled tofu, sushi, seaweed salad, miso soup, fried shrimp dumplings, sukiyaki bibimbap and so on.

Japanese restaurants are quite good at packaging and promoting themselves, and they are usually considered high-end restaurants in the United States.

After the meal was finished, Li Zhuo got the money, and the price was not expensive, 200 US dollars.

After they left the restaurant, they went to the largest supermarket in the city and bought some necessities, such as portable ladders, thick rubber gloves, flashlights, bird cages and so on.

Fortunately, the interior space of the leased Chevrolet Subaban is large enough, and a portable ladder can be put in without any problem.

After buying these things, they drove away from here and went straight to the woods outside the city.

At this time, it was almost evening and the sun was about to set. They parked their car on the side of the road and waited for a few minutes.

There are almost no pedestrians on this road at this time, and occasionally a car passes by, so the environment is very quiet.

Li Zhuo looked at the sky, it was just before dark.

He opened the door and said:
"It's almost there, buddies, let's do it."

Several people then got out of the car, took out the ladder, etc., then locked the car, and started walking down the roadside slope.

Chinese Internal Affairs asked:

"Would you like to turn on the flashlight?"

Li Zhuo replied:

"No need for now, I can see it now, I'm completely fine."

His body has been transformed by an incense burner, and his eyesight is better than normal.

Li Zhuo was holding gloves, the white housekeeper was holding the ladder, and the Chinese housekeeper was holding the flashlight and birdcage.

They all stopped making noises so as not to startle the bird.

After arriving under the maple tree with a tree hole, Li Zhuo looked up a few times, but he didn't see any birds around him, and he couldn't hear the birds' chirping. They must have returned to their nests.

Li Zhuo gave a signal, and the white housekeeper unfolded the ladder, erected it, and supported it.

Li Zhuo put on gloves to prevent being pecked suddenly when digging out the bird's nest.

Then he stepped on the ladder and approached the bird's nest.

Li Zhuo was very careful, trying his best to control his strength and speed, so as not to make any noise.

He approached the tree hole. At this time, he concentrated his attention. After stepping on his feet firmly, he began to reach out to the tree hole.

The woodpecker was startled, flapped its wings, and was about to fly away from the tree hole. Li Zhuo saw it right, and stretched out his hand to grab it firmly.

Very well, the process went well, and he caught it in a lightning bolt amidst the screaming of the bird.

This solved the problem. Li Zhuo then got down from the ladder and carefully handed the bird to the Chinese housekeeper, who then put the bird in the cage.

After finishing the work, Li Zhuo let the two housekeepers go first, and he was last.

He wanted to take this opportunity to communicate with the maple tree.
