590 Vocal Mimicry
Ye Xuan also understood this, so he specially carved a ukulele out of coconut meat. Although it wasn’t very big and was much smaller than a normal ukulele, it was still very suitable as a piece of art.
After walking out of the restaurant, Ye Xuan and his sisters let out a deep breath in unison. The air on Summer Island was not bad. The fresh air carried the salty smell of the sea, forming a unique smell that was acceptable.
However, if a huge whale suddenly died on the shore and the smell blew along the east wind or the north wind, the entire island would smell bad. Then, the smell would be a little unbearable.
Fortunately, this usually wouldn’t happen.
After exhaling the turbid air, Ye Xuan stretched his back and walked forward. As he walked, he pinched his mouth and imitated a few bird cries.
This voice was exactly the same as the cry of a sparrow. The sisters were stunned when they heard it, but they did not notice it.
Then, Ye Xuan leisurely made the sound of a cuckoo. At this moment, his sisters discovered him and revealed surprised expressions. They covered their mouths and looked at Ye Xuan’s back.
“Little brother, did you make a cuckoo’s cry?”
When Ye Xuan heard this, he turned his head and looked at his sisters. Then, he made two cuckoo cries on the spot.
His voice was exactly the same as a cuckoo. The sisters were pleasantly surprised when they heard it. They looked at Ye Xuan and smiled.
“Little brother, why do you know everything? You even know how to imitate the sound of birds. It’s too magical.”
“That’s right. This is the first time I know that humans can make sounds like birds. It’s so magical.”
“I’ve heard a person make bird cries in the past. At that time, I asked her to teach me, but I couldn’t do it after learning for a long time. I didn’t expect you to know how to make bird cries. You’re quite powerful.”
“Hurry up, little brother. Call me a few more times. Do you know how to make other cries other than the cries of cuckoos and sparrows?”
Ye Xuan smiled, then pinched his mouth again and let out a long series of cries. The first was the cry of a lark. The cry was loud and could last for a long time. It was euphemistic and pleasant to the ears, reaching the clouds like a long song.
Then, there was the cry of the Siberian rubythroat. This bird cry was elegant and mellow, and was very pleasant to the ears. However, because this bird was extremely good at imitating the cries of various species of crickets and other insects, it was difficult to hear its true cry.
However, after hearing it once, they knew that it was very pleasant to the ears.
Then, the cry changed. This time, he performed the long cry of a melodious laughingthrush. The song of the laughingthrush was loud and pleasant to the ears. However, this bird was also very magical. It could imitate the cries of many birds and even learn human language, the cries of cats and dogs, the sound of flutes, and so on.
Its real voice was also very pleasant to the ears, with a final sound that sounded as if it was saying, “Mo-gi-yiu.” Thus, the people of ancient times said that its cry sounded as if it was saying, “Prosperity, prosperity.”
As soon as the thrush finished speaking, Ye Xuan performed the cries of the white-eyes, parrots, common cuckoos, and so on. He alternated among many cries, bringing extreme enjoyment to his sisters’ ears. It was very satisfying.
After calling out, Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he walked in front of his sisters and pulled their hands over to spread them out. Then, he pinched his mouth and called out again.
His voice resounded through the clouds. After a while, a few birds landed on his sisters’ palms. They were not afraid of people at all and stood on their palms as they stared straight at Ye Xuan.
When the sisters saw this, they smiled happily and asked Ye Xuan excitedly.
“Little Brother, how do you know how to make cries like birds? You can even call them over. It’s too magical!”
“That’s right, Little Brother. Look, it’s not afraid of me. It won’t fly away even if I touch it with my hand! It’s so cute!”
“Little Brother, how did you do it? It’s too magical!”
“Hahaha, this is the first time I’ve touched a bird. I’m so happy, but it won’t poop in my hand, right…”
“Tell me, tell me. Little Brother, how do you know how to make bird cries?”
Faced with his sisters’ questions, Ye Xuan smiled and replied to them.
“This is vocal mimicry.”
As he spoke, Ye Xuan pinched his mouth and cried out twice again. The birds standing on his sisters’ palms flew away.
Seeing this, the sisters were a little disappointed and sighed. Clearly, they had not had enough fun with the birds.
However, Ye Xuan smiled and looked at his sisters before continuing.
“Come, Sisters, close your eyes. I’ll bring you to the sea to play and experience the true feeling of the sea.”
When his sisters heard this, they were a little puzzled. They did not know how they could walk around the sea while standing on the beach. Moreover, he said that he would let them experience the true sea. What was the true sea?
At the same time, they were looking forward to it and excited. They had a lot of thoughts about what Ye Xuan said, so they didn’t ask. They closed their eyes and smiled as they waited to set off.
Just as they closed their eyes, they suddenly heard the cry of a whale that resounded in the sky. The sound was very ethereal and grand. It was as if they were sitting on the back of a whale and looking at the endless horizon as they swam on the sea.
As soon as the whale’s cry faded out, it was followed by the cries of the dolphins and the sound of water when they came out of the sea. When they heard the sound of water, the sisters were shocked. They thought that they were really on the sea, afraid that they would fall or something else.
After all, it was easy for people to lose their balance after closing their eyes. It was like walking with their eyes closed. Although they were walking straight, they were afraid of hitting a wall or falling into a ditch.
This was how the sisters felt now. However, after being afraid for a while, they reacted and knew that this was a magical sound trick made by their little brother on land.
Hence, they calmed down and started to listen attentively.
At that moment, they heard the dolphins emerge from the sea, stirring up many waves. Seagulls occasionally let out two long cries in the sky, followed by the high songs of whales, bringing with them the sound of many fish swimming and the gurgling sound of bubbles in the sea.
Sometimes, they heard the cries of many dolphins brushing past their ears and sinking to the bottom of the sea. Sometimes, they heard themselves swimming in the sea. The sound of fishes brushing past their ears and the bubbling sound of bubbles could be heard.
Sometimes, it was as if they were in the sky, listening to the wind blow past, the seagulls flapping their wings under their feet, and the long cries of the seagulls.
Then, they suddenly felt the sound of the seagulls becoming softer and softer. Then, they heard the sound of waves colliding. It was as if the seagulls were carrying them and diving into the sky above the sea. Then, many fish jumped out of the sea. Plop, plop.
