Chapter 19 18. Highway Planning

"Ah, someone is coming! Someone is coming!" The voice continued to sound, and Wang Bo was taken aback for a moment. He could easily tell from the sand table that it was this little bird that made the sound!

It still feels like that, the voice is crisp but the tone is very awkward, he magnifies the appearance of this little bird, the moiré-like feathers, round head, short tail, red tail feathers, and a curved beak, obviously this is a bird A parrot!

All of a sudden, Wang Bo understood why the castle was haunted. It was the parrot who talked in the castle that night!

Also, it's no wonder that Charlie lost a bunch of wild grapes. This thing is the food of the parrot, and it must have been stolen by this little guy!

He waved his hand and grabbed the parrot and brought it to him. The little parrot was trembling with fright, and he closed his eyes and shouted: "Ah, ah, ah! It's not delicious! Ah, ah, it's not delicious!"

The parrot is about ten centimeters in size. It is childish and doesn't know how to speak yet. However, it is quite clever, not as stupid as ordinary birds. From what it says, it can be felt that it has a certain IQ, and it knows that it may be eaten if it is caught.

With that, it becomes clear that the castle is haunted, and that a parrot frightened the two of them that night.

It can't blame them for being timid, who would have thought that there was a parrot in the castle? This is not a native species of New Zealand, maybe it came from somewhere.

Compared with the parrot's appearance, he wanted to check its identity online.

But the signal on his mobile phone is so bad now that he can hardly make calls. He finally called Charlie, but before he could speak, Charlie said first: "Why is your phone always disconnected? By the way, you Call me, is the person in charge of road affairs from the Traffic Management Bureau and the people from the Australian Layton Company going to repair the road?"

Wang Bo said helplessly: "My mobile phone has almost no signal here, and I called you several times before calling you. Wait, what did you say?"

"OK, I thought the engineering team had arrived in the town. That's right, the government has long wanted to build a road in his territory, linking Omarama City and Cromwell. The road is more than 50 kilometers long. It is designated as two-way four-lane, with a width of twelve meters, and a construction team will go to the territory to start work immediately."

This news made Wang Bo very excited. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. As long as there is a road connecting the two cities, the traffic flow will inevitably increase. After all, to the southwest is Queenstown, a famous tourist attraction in New Zealand. Many tourists must drive from here. go through.

In this way, with the traffic flow, shops, hotels and restaurants can be developed along the way, and small towns can gradually develop.

"Biggest good news is that this road is planned to be a section of Route 8, get it? Route 8, yes, Route 8! Man, your town is going to be great because it's going to have A section of Highway 8!" Finally, Charlie broke another piece of good news.

Highway No. 8 is one of the main roads in the South Island. It is known as the most beautiful road in New Zealand. It starts from Timaru on the South Island and ends in the beautiful town of Milton. With river valleys and high mountains, the roadside scenery changes endlessly, and it has a great reputation in the world.

There is nothing to do in the past few days. Wang Bo bought a map to study. He knows that there will be more than one road in the town, so he has been carefully studying the road conditions in the South Island and has a little understanding of Highway No. 8.

He was overjoyed at first, and then had doubts. He asked, "Hasn't Highway 8 been in operation for a long time? It communicates with Omarama and Cromwell. How can we add a section?"

Charlie explained: "It's very simple, because there is a section of road between Omarama and Lindis Valley that needs to be renovated. After all, this road has been in use for too long. So the council simply decided to build a new section of road to replace the previous one. The old road, that section of the old road will be de-named as Highway 8 and replaced by Local Highway 84."

In fact, the original plan of Route 8 was not to follow the old road, but when the road was built, the Roberts family did not allow the road to pass through the territory. The New Zealand Land Transport Authority had no choice but to change the road. route.

In fact, compared with the plain of Sunset Town, the other road section is more hilly and has poor geology, and often needs maintenance and repairs, so now the Sunset Town is changed to Sunset Town, and the New Zealand Parliament decided to use the original No. 1 plan to build A most reasonable Route 8.

Of course, this is a win-win situation, and Wang Bo can't wait for the day when the road will be completed.

The official reply document of the No. 8 highway section became a milestone in the construction of the town, and its appearance marked the official start of the construction work of Sunset Town.

After chatting about the road construction news, Charlie asked, "Then why are you calling me?"

Only then did Wang Bo remember his original intention, and quickly described the appearance of the little parrot in his hand. After hearing this, Charlie laughed loudly: "This is an African gray parrot with a bright red tail, right?"

Then he described the characteristics of the African gray parrot. Firstly, it has strong speaking ability, secondly, it is talented and has a high IQ. It is famous for being good at imitating human language.

African gray parrots are always at the top of the list of speaking abilities of parrots in the world. Despite their ugly appearance, they are very capable of learning to speak, and their IQ is also the highest among parrots.

After finding out the truth about the castle being haunted, Pharaoh became happy. He hung up Charlie's phone, opened his palm and let the parrot fly away.

Once free, the little parrot flapped its wings and flew away. But it didn't go away, instead it circled around the old Wang's head, and then took a shit...

"Baji", it just landed on Lao Wang's shoulder. Seeing the parrot was extremely proud, it flapped its wings and fled while screaming: "Ah, shit! Ah, ah, shit!"

Fuck, this little thing is too clever, and its IQ is not so high. Lao Wang became interested, he wanted to let the little parrot go, so he decided to adopt this little thing.

With another wave of his hand in the sand table, the little parrot fell into Wang Bo's hands again.

This time it was dumbfounded, and suddenly appeared in someone's hand while flying. It must have been unable to understand what was going on with its small walnut-like brain. Huddled in Wang Bo's palm, the little parrot stared at the boss with black bean-like eyes, and the bird's face was full of bewildered expressions...

"You are my pet from now on, understand?" Wang Bo said looking at it.

As a result, he opened his mouth to show his teeth, and the little parrot struggled: "Ah, it's not delicious! Ah, it's not delicious! AHHHHHHHH!"

Wang Bo laughed loudly, he opened his hand, and the little parrot flew away immediately. Then it just flew up and landed in his hand out of thin air, and repeated this several times, the little parrot accepted its fate, even if he opened his hand, it would not fly away.

Satisfied with this, Lao Wang put the little parrot on his shoulder and said, "Follow me from now on, honestly, do you understand?"
