TFWYH – Chapter 475 Naming Gray Chariot

It was a gray pigeon, tilting its little head as it examined Tang Wan. Its tiny green-bean eyes were lively, and it kept cooing from time to time.

In Tang Wan’s ears, the pigeon’s cooing was automatically translated as:
“Wow, what a beautiful two-legged creature. Look at those moist eyes, that jet-black hair, that cool temperament—there isn’t a single thing that doesn’t attract this pigeon. Unfortunately, two-legged creatures aren’t like us pigeons. They don’t have beautiful feathers, just bare skin…”

Tang Wan: …

If I were covered in hair, I’d be treated like a monster, okay?

In truth, the sounds many animals made were quite chaotic to Tang Wan. By “chaotic,” she meant that animals themselves didn’t really know what kind of beings they were.

The names humans gave them—like pig, cow, horse, sheep—were simply decisions made unilaterally by humans. Animals didn’t even know they had been given those names.

Simply put, they couldn’t understand what humans were saying.

Creatures like Taxue, Yin Biao, and the pigeon in front of her were exceptions.

They knew the names humans had given them and could also understand human speech.

It was as if… they had awakened intelligence.

Of course, not everyone could understand animal language like Tang Wan.

So communication between humans and animals was even more difficult—after all, the two sides didn’t share the same language.

Tang Wan was quite interested in animals that had awakened intelligence like this.

She walked up to the gray pigeon and looked at it seriously.

“How about you follow me from now on?”

“Coo…” Follow you? Is there meat to eat?

“Yes. I’ll have Yin Biao catch insects for you.”

“Coo coo…” Yin Biao? Who’s that? What a nice name. This pigeon wants a name too. Huh?

Halfway through speaking, the little gray pigeon suddenly realized something. Its green-bean eyes widened in shock.

“Coo coo…” Y-you two-legged creature… you can understand what this pigeon is saying?

Tang Wan nodded. “So, will you come with me?”

“Coo…” Yes yes yes, please take this pigeon with you! I don’t want to be locked in a cage.

The little gray pigeon got so excited it flapped up into the air, but immediately bumped into the cage and fell back down, landing in a sitting position with its tiny legs splayed out.

Tang Wan curled her lips into a smile and set three rules for it.

“If I let you out, you can’t run away. It’s dangerous outside. Usually you can play however you like and go wherever you want, but you can’t go too far from me, and you must be able to fly back before nightfall. Of course, that doesn’t apply when you’re working.”

“Coo?” Working?

“Yes. Look at humans—if they want to live, don’t they have to work?”

“Coo!” That’s right!

“So if you follow me, you’ll have to work for me too. For example, helping me deliver letters sometimes.”

“Coo…” That’s easy. This pigeon is already a carrier pigeon. That’s my professional job.

As the little gray pigeon cooed, it flapped its wings against its chest proudly, as if saying, “Leave it to me.”

The smile on Tang Wan’s lips deepened.

This little pigeon seemed even smarter than Yin Biao.

Hmm. Now that there were three animals in the household, it seemed that Taxue was the dumbest one.

Thinking this, Tang Wan opened the cage.

The little gray pigeon immediately flew out, circled above Tang Wan’s head several times, then landed on her shoulder and affectionately rubbed against her cheek.

“Coo…” Two-legged creature, this pigeon really likes you. Give me a name!

Tang Wan thought for a moment before saying,
“From now on, your name will be Huiche—‘Che’ as in ‘swift as the wind and lightning.’”

“Coo…” Nice! This pigeon likes it. But what does ‘swift as the wind and lightning’ mean?

Tang Wan had gained another little companion, and her mood was good. She gently tapped its tiny head with her finger, then turned to Ye Si and said,

“Pick another clever one for me. I want to give one to my mother.”
