Back home to start a farm

"Uncle, is this your home's mountain?" The young man holding the camera was very excited, and even rushed to him after hearing what Qu Dewang said.

Qu Dewang looked at the young man, and saw that there were many wrinkles on the clothes at a close distance, and his face was a little tired, and he looked dusty.

He nodded and said in a slow tone: "Young man, this mountain is contracted by my family, and there are many grasses and insects inside, so it is not suitable to go in and play."

The purpose of this young man is not like going up the mountain to play.

"Uncle, I didn't play for the morning, I wanted to shoot birds." The young man's tone became more excited, and before Qu Deyun asked again, he took out his phone and flipped to the photo album, showing the enlarged screenshots inside.

"Have you ever seen this bird around?"

bird?

The rest of the people originally came out to watch the excitement, but now that there is really something exciting to watch, they all gathered together.

The photos in the phone are somewhat blurred even after processing. It can be vaguely seen that the bird is not big. The most obvious feature is that the forehead and neck are vermilion.

Seeing these people watching so earnestly, the young man couldn't hold back his emotions, and asked expectantly, "Have you ever seen a bird similar to this one?"

"No." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Yijie's face, he was embarrassed to say that they came here last night, and changed the subject with a smile, "You raised this bird and flew up the mountain?"

That makes sense.

"No." The young man was anxious and suppressed this time. "This is a picture taken from the live video of Xishan Farm. It should be a wild bird here."

"You came here specially for this bird after watching the video? It must be some rare bird." Lin Yuan was surprised, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary bird.

The few of them have never paid attention to birds, and at most they tease the parrot raised by the old man at home. They really can't help in this regard.

"I'm not sure yet, maybe it's just an ordinary bird, but as long as there's even a little possibility, I'll take a closer look." The young man clenched his fists and said.

In fact, when he rushed over in the morning, he met a flock of birds, and seemed to see the bird he was looking for inside, but before he had time to take pictures, the flock of birds flew into the forest again.

He hugged the camera and tried to follow, but was blocked by dogs blocking the intersection.

Now I just hope that people here can let him go.

If not, he will continue to wait here, and one day he will be able to see that little figure again.

Stared at by the hopeful eyes of this young man, Qu Dewang felt a lot of pressure, as if saying no answer was a bit too much for this child.

But he looked at the photo for a long time, but couldn't see any results.

In previous years, there were many birds in Xishan Village, but they were all common ones such as magpies and sparrows. This year, after the environment improved, more birds came here. You can notice that some of them are big and good-looking. Although this bird has It has vermilion feathers, but it is too small to stay in a group of birds and fly around, completely unnoticeable.

It's hard for this child to see it at a glance from the video.

"I don't usually pay much attention to this, young man, don't be discouraged, so I'll call my son over to ask." Qu Deyun comforted with a smile on his face.

"Who is your son?"

"He opened this farm. He has a good memory and usually stays on the farm. Maybe he has an impression."

"Thank you, thank you!" The young man bowed to express his gratitude, and took out his ID card and student ID card, "My name is Meng Ran, and I am currently a graduate student at the Provincial University."

"Wildlife and nature protection management..." Zhang Yijie looked at the major on the student ID card, and then compared it with this person, and he was sure it was true.

It's fun now, is there really any precious animals here?

They went to a nearby tree to hide from the rising sun, and after a short wait, Qu Chi and Qin Shi, who were not far away, received a call and came looking for them.

It was the same photo again, Qu Chi and Qin Shi looked at each other head to head, and Qu Deyun didn't feel anything wrong looking at it.

Meng Ran even put his mind on the bird, and couldn't help rubbing his feet on the ground, hoping to hear a definite answer.

"I've seen it." When Qu Chi looked at Qin Shi, the two looked at each other and Qu Chi raised his head.

"Oh, I've seen it before." Qu Deyun nodded, turned around and wanted to talk to Meng Ran, but it took him a while to recover, and he raised his voice, "Have you really seen it?"

Meng Ran was completely dumbfounded.

He took several cars from the province to come here just to get an affirmative answer, but when he heard it, he began to doubt his ears and couldn't believe it.

"I don't know if it's the kind you're looking for. Our bird matches the photo. Not only the forehead and neck, but also the part from the back to the tail is red."

"That's right, that's right, the red-necked sparrow's tail is indeed red." Meng Ran nodded frantically.

After listening to Meng Ran's words, Zhang Yijie turned on his phone, found the search engine and searched for the word "Senza" and the related encyclopedia immediately came up.

The photos on the encyclopedia are really similar to the screenshots Meng Ran took out, and they are completely in line with what Qu Chi said, with vermilion on the forehead, neck, and many tails.

Pull down the encyclopedia, and after several paragraphs of descriptions about the Vermilion Sparrow, a few words appeared.

Protection of animals at the national level.

Included in the Red List of Endangered Species - Critically Endangered.

The wild population was declared extinct in 20xx.

After clicking on several encyclopedias and even documents in succession, all of the content in them showed the preciousness of this bird, and Zhang Yijie's breathing became heavier.

If the bird that appeared in Xishan Village is really a red-necked sparrow, then this news is not trivial, and the benefits it will bring to this place are unimaginable.

Good luck!

Zhang Yijie couldn't help being a little excited, let alone Meng Ran who came here for this matter, he begged Qu Chi seriously: "I hope you will allow me to go online to find the trace of this bird."

Qu Chi looked at the photo and shook his head. Before Meng Ran asked anxiously, he said, "I seem to know where this bird's nest is."

Thanks to Qu Chi's excellent memory, he began to search for the information stored in his brain just after viewing the photos.

In addition to seeing them flying down from the mountain to grab food from the birds a few times, when I went to the mountain to pick red fruits with Qin Shi a few days ago, I saw this kind of bird flying out of the nest on the branch.

If nothing else, that's their lair.

All the people who heard this sentence were a little excited, and they all asked to go to the mountain to look for this bird. Witnessing this great discovery with their own eyes can be said to be an extremely rare experience.

"Xiao Chi, isn't that guy Qiao Yang doing some kind of live broadcast? Why don't you let him film this process?" Zhang Yijie didn't say anything, Qu Dewang didn't know how much this species is cherished, he just said that he thought it could promote their village. Methods.

Qu Chi smiled and took his father's hand, and said, "Dad, I'm not sure if it's true, maybe it's just an ordinary bird, and it will be a joke if it's broadcast live."

Before departure, Qu Chi called his mother, but unfortunately Zhang Yun was not interested in the activity of going up the mountain to find birds, and they were the big men who went up the mountain in the end.

A few people went back on the mountain and changed their clothes. The key is long-sleeved trousers, especially to wrap the legs and feet in all directions, not only to prevent mosquitoes, but also to block the sharp edges of leaves.

Meng Ran came in a hurry and didn't bring any extra clothes, but he was wearing long trousers and long sleeves. After all, he came by car overnight.

After 10 minutes, everyone gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The vegetation on the double hump grows very fast. Except for the long road up the mountain that is often cleared, many places are covered by weeds.

It's a pity that the mountain road has not been repaired for a long time. To find the bird's nest that Qu Chi said, one must enter the hawthorn forest.

The originally daring group of five hesitated at this time. Even though there were many gorgeous wild flowers in the fruit forest, they failed to attract their appreciation. Their eyes were only on the dense grass.

Such a deep grass, even if there are snakes hiding in it, they may not be able to see it.

In the end, it was Qin Shi who picked up a few long wooden sticks from the ground and told them to knock on the grass when they left before they walked in.

Qu Chi and Qin Shi wandered inside quite a few times, and stepped on a not-so-obvious path. There were no stones and branches on this path, and the walk was much smoother than expected.

It didn't take long before he reached the bird's nest that Qu Chi mentioned, and he pointed to the tree not far in front of him. It was not a hawthorn tree, but a wild jujube tree that had not been cleared when he planted the hawthorn: "It's the bird's nest on that branch. .”

Standing in the woods, hearing all kinds of bird calls, Qu Chi can distinguish a few sounds that are extremely immature, and even come from the direction he just pointed.

At this moment, Meng Ran had already found a suitable place, and raised the camera in his hand to point at the bird's nest in the distance. As the camera continued to zoom in, the real face of the bird's nest appeared in front of him.

In a small bird's nest made of branches and weeds, there are three young birds that have not yet grown feathers, huddled together in the nest, and their beaks are growing when they grow up, calling constantly, calling for their parents to come back and feed them.

Meng Ran's breathing stopped, and he didn't resume breathing until he felt a little uncomfortable. His hands holding the camera were trembling slightly.

No one asked him what he saw, because everyone saw the two small figures that had just flown back, and no one spoke, and even lowered their voices.

The two little cuties that flew back landed in the bird's nest, and fed the three newborn baby birds. Meng Ran's brain went blank, but her body automatically seized this opportunity, and the shutter kept being pressed. Leave a picture.

Humans did not disturb the lives of these birds, they used video cameras to record the precious impact, and then left the area quietly.

It was only after returning to the mountain road that Meng Ran dared to breathe loudly. The exhaustion from the journey had long since disappeared without a trace. It was as if he had drunk more than a dozen bottles of Red Bull, and he was extremely energetic.

Of course it will cheer up.

This is not a bird.

But five!A total of five!

Also includes three newborn chicks!

Meng Ran only had eyes on the photos in the camera, and he had to look at each one for a long time, one after another.

After finally reading it, Meng Ran looked up at the few people waiting beside him, and said with a big smile, "There is a [-]% possibility. I need to send these photos to my tutor and wait for his identification results."

As early as the first time he saw a figure that was suspected to be a red-necked sparrow in the video, Meng Ran took the screenshots to find his mentor.

However, the screenshot was too blurry. After asking Meng Ran where he saw it, the instructor searched the Internet and found that it was a video taken in Xishan Village.

On top of that, the village is undergoing a massive renovation.

Others may not know it, but the instructor who specializes in rare birds remembers the survival habits of the red-necked sparrow very clearly.

Without looking for information, he could tell Meng Ran that the disappearance of the wild population of Suzaku sparrows, apart from being hunted by humans, was largely due to their extremely high requirements for the living environment.

The renovation process of Xishan Village will have some impact on the environment, not to mention the noise that will be made during this process, which cannot be tolerated by Suzaku.

Based on a reasonable analysis, the tutor believes that it is impossible for the red-necked sparrow to appear in this small village, and the bird in the video is just a similar finches.

This matter passed like this, and then the instructor went to another place to attend an important meeting. Only Meng Ran, after the busy study tasks, was still thinking about the figure of the Suzaku Sparrow, and finally decided to take the time to come and see it in person. trip.

Not reconciled to not seeing him with my own eyes.

This time he finally took a clear photo, but he was not sure about his own judgment. After sending all the photos to the tutor, he explained the cause and effect.

We waited anxiously until noon, but did not receive a reply from the instructor, but received a call from the instructor. Just based on the excited voice on the phone, everyone knew that the probability had increased to at least [-]%.

Qu Chi, as the owner of the mountain forest where the red-necked sparrows are located, received a sincere request from the mentor, asking him to protect the five red-necked sparrows during this period of time, and he will rush over as fast as possible.

Shuangtuo Mountain itself does not allow outsiders to enter, Qu Chi felt that he could not express anything, so he simply increased the number of cats and dogs guarding the entrance of the mountain from two to four.

The dogs and cats in the village were also instructed by Qu Chi not to do anything to wild birds, and to come to him when they were hungry.

In fact, I can't be hungry at all, I'm afraid of biological instinct.

Meng Ran stayed in Xishan Village that day, and Qu Chi's family really had no place to host, so Qu Chi took him to the village chief's house and told him everything.

The village head's reaction was not what everyone expected, he must be equally happy, and he pulled Meng Ran to let him live in the village with peace of mind. By the way, he can see more of the other birds in the village. This year, there are several more species in the village that they haven't seen before. passing bird.

Instructor Meng Ran's reaction was faster than they expected. He heard that he was going to take the plane first and then transfer to the high-speed rail. After getting off the bus, he immediately took a taxi to come here. He didn't stop for a moment, and asked to go up the mountain as soon as he arrived the next morning.

Both teachers and students are the same.

Along with the instructor, in addition to several researchers of wild bird protection, there were also relevant personnel from the town government.

After receiving the news from Meng Ran, the mentor tried to get in touch with their Yang City government, and then the news came to Bijiang Town Government.

After an impromptu meeting, they initially established a publicity campaign for the protection of wild animals, especially wild birds. The rest of the villages can be delayed, and Xishan Village is the top priority of this time.

So when Qu Chi took these experts up the mountain, there was an additional team of village cadres and town cadres in the village, who gathered villagers and tourists in the village to publicize wildlife protection.

It will take a few days to confirm the investigation of Suzaku, and it will not be announced to the public until the right time.

Moreover, specific measures need to be determined for the protection of these wild red-necked sparrows.

It happened that the wild red-necked sparrow was found in the mountain forest that was contracted by others. The people who came down the mountain were tourists. If they were in a nature reserve, they wouldn't have to worry about it.

Qu Chi and the others could have expected how much attention would be drawn to Xishan Village after this matter was announced.

These gazes can bring huge benefits to Xishan Village. After all, attention will be converted into traffic, and these traffic will become Xishan Village's income.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Many examples of Internet celebrity attractions can be found on the Internet. The crowds flocking to bring not only benefits, but also damage.

Attractions that could have developed slowly have become short-lived.

Qu Chi will not let Xishan Village fall into this situation.

At this time, I secretly rejoiced at the wall being built.

Every day there is delicious food to eat all you can eat, and you are in an excellent natural environment every day, and you can even sleep more soundly than before.

If you are full of food and drink, you will naturally feel better when you work, and your work efficiency will naturally be high.

So when everyone didn't realize it, the fence of Xishan Farm was successfully built, and the warehouses Qu Chi requested were all erected on the ground. The next step was to build a fence that could protect the entire village.

The village cadres in the village were busy publicizing the protection of wild animals. Qu Chi was called to help communicate with the construction team. Qin Shi also needed help. Even the five people who came to play were arrested.

The leisurely life has not been enjoyed enough, and it disappears before my eyes.

Zhen Yuan has never been so tired. After a busy day, he turns grief and anger into motivation, and uses delicious food to soothe his tired body and injured mind.

Three meals a day would not stop until the mouth was full. Unexpectedly, after a week passed, Zhen Yuan not only did not gain weight, she even lost a few kilograms of weight, and even the double chin was not as obvious as before.

After getting off the weighing scale, he ran into Snowball happily grazing in the yard as soon as he left the house. Zhen Yuan immediately reported it happily.

Looking at this fluffy body, looking at the soft and smooth fur, it doesn't feel too good to the touch, Zhen Yuan wants to steal the snowball home.

"Be gentle." Qin Shi, who came back alone, reminded.

When looking at Qin, then at the huge snowball, Zhen Yuan suddenly remembered a question he had forgotten, and quickly seized the opportunity to ask, "Brother Qin, did you give the snowball to Brother Qu?"

"Xiao Chi picked it up on the road."

"I thought Xueqiu was the Huaming rabbit I gave you back then." Zhen Yuan continued, "Brother Qin, who did you give that rabbit to, maybe you can find a companion for Xueqiu, But the one I picked was the same as Snowball, it seemed to be a male."

Qin Shi's footsteps stopped, a premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, he turned his head to look at Zhen Yuan and asked seriously: "When did you give me a rabbit?"

"Ah? It was the few days when you lived in the nursing home last spring? I put you in the room when you fell asleep. Didn't you see, Brother Qin? "

"You sent a baby rabbit?"

"Of course, I've been born for less than a month." Although Zhen Yuan sensed some problems, he didn't think much of it, just patted his head and said with a smile, "I wanted to play a joke on you, so I chose a giant rabbit breed. "

Isn’t there that kind of sand sculpture news on the Internet, saying that a friend gave a small pig that didn’t grow up, but I didn’t expect it to become an old sow of several hundred catties after raising it for a few months.

Last spring, when Qin Shigang destroyed the Qin family, he lived in a nursing home for physical reasons, and because of some psychological problems after completing his goals.

These friends went to the hospital to visit. Zhen Yuan loved fluffy the most, so he wanted to pick a pet for Qin Shi to keep him with him.

It's just that when he was picking out a gift, his brain twitched. He wanted to see more turmoil in Brother Qin's life. Even if he gave a pig to Brother Qin, he might not accept it, so he aimed at the rabbit with a giant breed.

Just waiting for him to choose and rush to the nursing home, Qin Shi was sleeping, Zhen Yuan didn't bother, put down the rabbit and left.

Later, Qin Shi took the initiative to cut off contact with them. Zhen Yuanguang thought about where Brother Qin was, and he almost forgot about the rabbit.

After listening to Zhen Yuan talking about the cause and effect, he thought about the similarity between Xueqiu and that rabbit.

Same breed, same sex, same age.

It was a little farther away, but the nursing home was in the next city, and Qin Shi had the initial suspicion of taking the rabbit away.

A guess appeared in Qin Shi's mind.

The author has something to say: Suzaku is a fiction, any similarity is purely coincidental.
