Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 555 Seeing the Peacock Dancing Again
Cheng Xinxin looked back, her voice was soft, and the hair scattered on her forehead was blown to one side by the breeze, making her look a little cute.And when the little finger points to the withered lotus leaf forest, it feels a cuteness.

Bai Qian, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help reaching out and gently stroking her little head, her eyes full of tenderness.

Afraid of missing out on such a beautiful moment, she took out her phone and took a few photos of Cheng Xinxin's side profile, recording the moment she grew up.

The boat rowed out slowly, the lake surface was rippled, the water was rushing, and the boat gradually moved towards the center of the lake.

The lake water is clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, the green hills in the distance, and the birds in the sky.

The people on this boat are admiring the beautiful scenery in the lake, and they themselves constitute a part of the lake and mountains.

The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and the boat moves slowly.

It is exactly "you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people who look at the scenery are also looking at you", the mountains and rivers are the same, refreshing.

As the boat moved forward, some vigilant birds jumped out of the water before they could pass, screamed and flew away, leaving only ripples on the lake.

The surface of the lake was very lively, except for those who were startled by them, there were also those who were already looking for food, making the sound of thumping.

The shallow water area was gradually passed, and the penny couldn't support it to the bottom, so we had to change to paddling. Liu Zhicheng said that he could paddle, so he pulled another person to paddle with him, paddling on one side.

One person is palming one side, and there must be a tacit cooperation, otherwise, the bow of the boat will not know where to go.After paddling for a while, I gradually become familiar with it and can paddle well.

When we arrived in the center of the lake, everyone on the boat took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the birds nearby, which was quite fun.

About an hour later, the lake surface returned to tranquility, and all the birds foraging for food flew away, and even the ripples on the lake surface gradually dissipated and calmed down, as if no birds had come here.

Cheng He sighed, indicating that it was really early. If he had only gone out at this time, he would not have seen this scene of foraging.

The early bird gets the worm, and the early bird gets the worm.

Now, though, it's a little embarrassing.Originally they came here by boat to watch the birds in the center of the lake, but now that the birds had all flown away, they were left with a small boat, standing alone in the middle of the lake, looking a bit silly.

All right, paddle back.

Previously, in order to come over and shoot the video, they rowed very vigorously. Now that they are not in a hurry, several people relax in an instant.

Cheng Xinxin pointed to the other side and said, "Dad, let's go over there, shall we?"

"Baby, why go there? Our home is here." Cheng He said pointing in another direction.

This kid probably doesn't have a strong sense of direction.

But Cheng Xinxin shook her head and said, "I know, but we haven't been there yet. What's there?"

When Cheng He thought about it, he was right, he had been to Xiaolian Mountain so many times, but he had never been there.In the past, wherever you go, there must be many places that you have never been to. After the cableway was built, you have only been playing on the other side of the lake, and you have never been to this side.

Well, anyway, if you have time, just walk around and look around.

Cheng He also asked other people, and they all said, "Of course I want to go, do I want to go back to sleep again? I should walk around and have a look, while there are few people now. I bet this attraction is officially open After that, it will definitely be overcrowded, and then it will not be so fun.”

In the whole Xiaolianshan, except for some decoration masters and staff, there are no outsiders, and it feels like playing in a private venue.

After the attractions start to open, there is no such good thing.

Cheng He said: "It doesn't matter if there are too many people. Tourists can't walk here. They can only watch it on the designated glass plank road, and give up the forest area to these natural creatures as much as possible."

This is Jiang Yutong's initial development plan, and her architectural route has always been around this.

There don't need to be many tourists, and there is no need to let the entire Xiaolian Mountain be full of tourists. If there are too many people, after scaring away these natural creatures, not even a single person will come.

While speaking, the boat also rowed slowly, until it reached the side Cheng Xinxin was pointing at, which was also a place Cheng He had never been to.

When the boat arrived here, it was discovered that there was a large area of ​​shallow water here, similar to a swamp-like environment, and a large area of ​​aquatic plants grew from the bottom of the lake, directly out of the water surface, densely covering the water surface.

However, it is now late autumn, and the water plants have withered a little, exposing some of the lake surface, where some water birds are rolling and looking for food, very happy.

On the other side of the shore, there is a wide area with some short grasses, and some birds are eating insects in it.

Cheng He said on a whim: "Oh, I probably know why these birds spend the winter here. This Peach Blossom Lake will not freeze in winter, so some birds can still find food in the lake and live well. go down."

He thought the idea sounded plausible.

For general bird migration, site selection is very important. There is no doubt about it. Various factors must be considered comprehensively, such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, whether the site is large enough, whether the surrounding area is safe, etc., and whether the stomach can be full is also an important factor. Consider the conditions.

The area of ​​Xiaolian Mountain is not small, and it is backed by the original mountains of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. No one has developed here for many years, so it is an ideal area.

After so many years of accumulation, for birds, the food inside is very rich, whether it is grown on trees or grown in the ground.Small fish and shellfish in the lake are naturally also one of the foods for many waterfowl.

Peach Blossom Lake is large enough to support these birds.

Liu Zhicheng asked him, "How do you know that it doesn't freeze here in winter? Don't you have snow here?"

"It snows, but Peach Blossom Lake won't freeze. I don't know why." Cheng He said.

They are located in the south, but it snows every year. When Cheng He was young, the amount of snow fell above his knees, but over the years, the amount of snowfall has become thinner every year, but Taohua Lake seems to be Never been frozen.

When I used to watch TV, I knew that the rivers in the northeast would be completely frozen, the ice would be more than one meter thick, and I could even drive a car, so I was very envious.

Now that I think about it, no wonder the birds are moving south. The water is frozen and the land is full of snow. Where can I find food?
That being said, Xiaolian Mountain is really an ideal environment.

Just as they were talking, Bai Qian, who interrupted conversations with them from time to time, suddenly pointed to a certain place and said, "Look, look, peacock... peacock... is dancing..."

Cheng Xinxin also stood up excitedly, tiptoed and looked over there.

Several people stopped paddling immediately and looked over there. Cheng He gasped in shock—it was really a peacock dancing!

A huge green peacock dances to another peacock in a graceful posture.To be honest, he has seen peacocks spread their tails, but he thinks today's peacocks are particularly beautiful.

Judging from its appearance, the dancing male peacock was probably the one that flew over yesterday, but I didn't expect to meet it here again today.

At this time, their boat was less than 100 meters away from the dancing peacock, and they rowed forward a little bit. After enough shots, they stopped moving forward.

Don't fail to see that 100 meters sounds like a long way, but you must know that wild birds are quite alert, and swans will fly away when they are 500 meters away from people.

100 meters is a dangerous distance for many birds.

But today's situation was fine. I don't know if the male peacock danced too fascinatedly, or because of Cheng Xinxin's presence, neither of the two peacocks wanted to leave, and the female peacock without tail feathers also seriously enjoyed the dance.

It is really beautiful!
The male peacock is not small in size, and his body looks even bigger when his wings are spread out. The colorful feathers all over his body are shining in the sun, as if wearing a gorgeous robe, which dances with his movements. , too beautiful to behold.

I don't know why, but the facial expression of this peacock makes people feel the majesty of a king, which is very strange.

It spins and jumps around the peahen, circle after circle, flapping and shaking its wings flexibly, attracting the peahen's attention.

Slowly, it erected the tail feathers on its rear tail, and the one-meter-long tail feathers stood upright, and then slowly opened until it formed a huge fan, with the feathers on it shaking slightly, with various gestures.

The peacock spreads its tail.

The peacock feathers seem to have a special effect halo. Under the sunlight, they glow with colorful luster, which makes people don't know what language to use to describe it.

The peahen is also spinning and jumping in accordance with its movements, and the colorful feathers on her body are also shiny and gorgeous.Cheng He admired in his heart. The peahens he saw in the zoo before were all gray in color and had no tail feathers, just like a big native chicken.

But this is not the case, except that it has no tail feathers, the feathers all over its body are also very colorful. When it rotates with the male peacock's dance steps, it also spreads its tail coverts, forming a small open screen , equally beautiful.

I used to think that peahens don't open their tails, but now I know that I really have too little experience.Look in front of you, isn't this the best proof?
This peahen is not only not ugly, but even opens her tail, which is really amazing.

The scene of two peacocks dancing and opening their tails at the same time is not something that can be seen anytime and anywhere.

Before I came here, some people said that it would be great if I could see the peacock again. I didn't expect it to come true, and I could even see the dancing peacock with my own eyes, making a lot of money.

Several people no longer rowed the boat in, but took pictures on the spot.

At this time, no one made a sound, but concentrated on shooting the video.Even the panting was light, because the two peacocks would croak from time to time, and they couldn't bear to ruin the video with their voices.

Even Cheng Xinxin didn't say a word at this moment, she concentrated on watching the dancing peacock, she felt that it was really beautiful.

Adults know that peacock dancing, like other birds dancing, is actually courtship.

After the peacock dance of more than two minutes, the two peacocks seemed to have reached an agreement, and ran away to the invisible woods in the distance, leaving a bunch of people on the boat to enjoy the video they took.

Bai Qian put her arms around Cheng Xinxin, watched the replay with herself, and couldn't help but said, "Back then, Yang Liping became popular with a peacock dance. There is a reason for it. The peacock dance is really beautiful."

The rest of the people also gradually returned to reality from amazement, and they wondered: "It's strange to say, isn't there the most peacocks in Yunnan Province? Why do you have these two flying here?"

Yesterday, everyone saw only one peacock flying, but now, there are clearly two peacocks here, so strange.
