Chapter 672 Wonderful Penguin Journey
Kou Kou's mouth was so pouty that it could tie up a donkey. She was tricked by Zhuo Yang into coming to South Africa.
The two international match days were over, and Zhuo Yang, who was originally in Manchester, said goodbye to the troops returning to China. He didn't have to move anymore, but he was enticed by a phone call from Kou Kou and ran to Barcelona.
The non-tyrannical president Zhuo Kouco was busy integrating Spain's "Left Bank" during this period. After being sweaty and busy, he suddenly wanted to act coquettishly, so he complained to Zhuo Yang that he was tired.
As a veteran doting wife, he absolutely cannot bear this. He cannot let his wife suffer alone.
So, he immediately flew to Barcelona and the two of them worked hard together, and the broadcast gymnastics went from the first set to the eighth set.
But obviously, Kou Kou's coquettishness hasn't been enough, and she went straight back to her time as a little girl.
To act like a baby, you have to make some very unreasonable requests to make them appear reasonable, so Kou Kou said she wanted to go to Antarctica to see penguins.
Zhuo Yang: "..."
Men, you must be reliable in what you say. Don't always make casual promises like, "If you want the moon, I'll climb the ladder to get it for you, if you want the stars, I'll go up to the sky and pick them for you." A girl can throw you away just by saying, "Go ahead."
In the cold wind, you should go.
Compared to asking for stars or the moon, Koko’s request to see penguins is already very reliable and very humane.
But Zhuoyang's head is still bigger than his basin. Although Antarctica is definitely possible to go, it is not a place that he wants to go to right away.
It's definitely not possible to take a boat, there's simply not enough time.
Last year, an Icelandair Boeing 757 landed on the runway of the European Joint Camp in Antarctica, but it was just an advertising showoff, and it took half a year to prepare. It was not a regular flight at all.
Now it is estimated that the temporary runway is abandoned, so there is no hope.
Nowadays, airplanes can land on the Antarctic ice cap, but due to the conditions of the airstrip, special airplanes are required. The kind that can be equipped with a sled underneath, such as China's 'Snow Eagle', ordinary business jets cannot withstand the conditions there.
Caused by harsh weather.
It's not that you can't spend money to fly a special aircraft, but you need to make a reservation. That thing is not a taxi. It can park in a long queue and wait for someone to fly at any time.
Moreover, it is Antarctica, and it is not a trip that you can just go to the food market at your doorstep. Without sufficient preparation, do you plan to see penguins or feed penguins?
The most critical thing is that there are only four days from the end of the game against Sweden to the start of Manchester City's next game. No matter what method is used, it will be too late to make a trip to Antarctica.
Why do you have the nerve to ask Guardiola for leave to accompany your wife to see the penguins? The old man must have had his bald head on fire and said: Mr. Zhuo, do you think I look like a penguin?
In fact, this time he secretly came to Barcelona, Zhuo Yang decided to kill first and then play later. The rest of Manchester City had already returned to the team.
Zhuo Yang walked around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking about it. Kou Kou tilted her head and looked at him with a smile, and every 5 seconds she said "Look at the penguins" to add insult to injury.
"Look at the penguins...look at the penguins...look at the penguins..."
Zhuoyang gritted his teeth so much that he had to call people to contact the plane at all times. Manchester City asked them to wait for another half month, and then go back after playing two quarters of the Champions League. Love whoever you want.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and Zhuo Yang remembered something.
"Look at the penguins...look at the penguins...look at the penguins..."
"Honey, are you sure you just want to see penguins?"
"Look at the penguins! Look at the penguins!"
"Only penguins?"
"Look at the penguins! Look at the penguins!"
"No problem, arrange it."
"How to arrange it? Shall we go by boat or by airdrop? Yeah~ I'm going to parachute."
"It doesn't have to be so complicated. Just follow me and I'll make sure you see the penguins jumping around."
"Yeah." Koko nodded happily.
Zhuo Yang suddenly remembered that he had read in a book before that penguins were not only found in Antarctica, but also in Africa and South Africa.
Kou Kou was dragged onto the plane by Zhuo Yang in the mist. She had no idea where she was going. She was so cute and cute.
Even if it's not Antarctica, it's not that far from Spain to South Africa. It takes ten hours. During the journey, Zhuo Yang became more and more proficient in the "Xiao Zhuo Zi Massage" service skills, making his sweetheart fall asleep sweetly in complete relaxation.
Finally, I checked the information about penguins in detail.
He remembered correctly, there are indeed penguins in South Africa.
Penguins are birds, to be precise, they are seabirds. Because in the long process of evolution, their living environment has not seriously threatened their natural enemy species, so their flying skills have completely degraded due to laziness, which is very degenerate.
.
There are a total of 18 species of penguins in the world, most of which are in Antarctica. Some spotted-billed ringed penguins live in the southernmost tip of Africa, so they are also called African penguins.
Two hundred years ago, when scientists discovered African penguins in South Africa, there were only one or two million African penguins, all on the seashore and islands. However, in the following more than a hundred years, they were eaten by local people and only more than 10,000 were left.
Endangered.
African penguins must regret that they have forgotten how to fly and cannot escape from this bird-eating society.
Fortunately, the South African government has now designated a penguin sanctuary, and the local government has posted slogans like "Penguin meat is firewood, and eating birds is a crime." The number of penguins has finally rebounded, and now there are 100,000 more.
.
After running all the way, Kou Kou was dragged by Zhuo Yang to Simon's Town, a small peninsula southwest of Cape Town, where there is an African Penguin Sanctuary and the annual African Penguin Festival.
The couple met the penguin they had been longing for as they wished, and then they were dumbfounded together.
You call this thing that's not much bigger than a grouse a penguin?
Ms. Patricia Delilai, the mayor of Simon's Town, proudly introduced the results of local penguin protection to the Archduchess of Vienna and Viscount Zhuoyang, but they thought she looked like a liar.
Because of the extreme cold in Antarctica, the native penguins there are relatively slender and tall. Their hair is not only distinct in black and white, but also fine and silky, making them attractive and pleasing to the eye.
But southern Africa belongs to the temperate zone. If you change the latitude of Cape Town to the northern hemisphere, it would be Zhengzhou. If African penguins dared to grow hair as dense as that of their Antarctic compatriots, they would be half-cooked by themselves without the help of African people.
The good brother from the Northeast wears mink during the twelfth lunar month, which is called paier. Have you ever seen the men in Zhengzhou, known as the New Four Great Furnace, wearing mink during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
Due to the living environment, African penguins are short and chubby. They are basically over 50 centimeters tall. They are indeed about the same size as grouse.
The hair on his body was mottled, as short as Messi's beard, and as bald as a devil's shaved head. The black and white were mixed together, and there were large patches of hair on his belly.
You say it's not a penguin, but it does look like a penguin. If you say it's a penguin and Antarctic penguins hear it, people will think you're swearing.
In short, it is very different from the penguin that the couple imagined before coming here. It is neither a gentleman among birds, nor does it have a world of ice and snow as a foil.
Slowly, Kou Kou's mouth started to pout like a donkey.
Suddenly, ‘Ah~~~oh, ah~~~~~oh~~~~~~’ the donkey brayed.
The penguin brayed.
Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou looked at the penguin in horror, which could only imitate the braying of a donkey: Brother, you are an actor.
‘Ah~~~~oh, ah~~~~~oh~~~~~~’
One dog barked, hundreds of dogs barked, and all the penguins brayed together. The scene was once very grand.
Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou couldn't bear it anymore. Regardless of their image, they laughed alone until they were out of breath. They burst into tears and couldn't stop laughing.
Braying like a donkey is a unique skill of African penguins, so they are also called 'jackass penguins'.
