Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 305 New Discovery
"Fifth Liu, there's nothing to say..." Liu Junhao replied convincingly. The old man lived to be seven or eighty years old and ate more salt than he ate. There is no comparison at all.However, this was the first time he had heard that Wuye Liu had seen a crested ibis. The old man wouldn't be dazzled and mistook other birds, would he?
"The last time we visited, I showed him the picture album. He said that there were many birds on the mountain before, and the name was Vermilion Bird. We originally wanted Liu Wuye to be a guide when we came to visit this time, but the old man said that he My legs and feet are inconvenient, so I recommended you to us." Xu Dongfang explained again.

"Really?" Hearing what he said in a serious manner, Liu Junhao believed it [-]%. He turned to look at Liu Guangju and asked, "Uncle Guangju, have you seen it?"

"No, it's also the first time I've heard that there is such a thing on our mountain."

"By the way, do you have any photos? Get some for me. I'll ask the old people in the village later." Liu Junhao is like that. He is usually lazy, but as long as he promises something, he will definitely do his best. go all out.

"Yes, yes" Sun Yutao quickly took out a stack of photos from his backpack.They were fully prepared before they came, and specially printed a lot of photos to take with them.

"Xiaohao, I'll leave these two to you. If the crested ibis can be found in our Liujiagou area, it will definitely be broadcast on the provincial TV station's news network." Before leaving, Liu Guangju repeatedly reminded him that he had already been from two places before. I learned the importance of the crested ibis from my personal words.

After leaving the house, Liu Junhao immediately went to the chicken farm to find Liu Wuye. He wanted to reconfirm that the old man read it correctly.If so, where was it found.If you go directly into the mountain to look for it with your head dizzy, you will definitely not find it.

Still far away from the chicken farm, I heard Liu Wuye yelling "chicken cluck...chicken cluck..." non-stop.

Looking at that posture, the old man really regards himself as a professional chicken farmer.

Since the last rodent eradication war was launched, no chickens from the chicken farm have been lost.It's only been a little over a month, and it has grown to a height of [-] centimeters.

As soon as Master Liu called, those chicken cubs surrounded him like bandits.

"Xiao Hao is here..." The old Niutou was sitting on a big rock smoking a pipe, and when he saw him coming, he greeted him from a long distance away.

"Well, this chick has grown up to be cheerful and solid."

Liu Junhao walked over to chat with him, and waited for Liu Wuye to finish his work before he spoke out.

"Those two students have already asked this question once in the morning. I have shot this thing with a shotgun before, and the meat is not very tasty..." Fifth Master Liu explained with a vigorous smack of his mouth.He is also a good player when he is young. He goes hunting in the mountains and catches turtles in the river. It can be said that he is proficient in everything.However, in the 80s, countries began to ban guns, so the old man has no place to be a hero.

"You dare to eat the national bird, tough." He didn't know how to describe it now, turned his head and asked the old bull, "Have you seen the crested ibis?"

"Don't ask me, I really haven't seen this thing"

The age is the same, one has seen one and the other has not, it is a bit difficult to handle.Liu Junhao didn't suspect that the fifth master was lying, but from the words of the two of them, it can be analyzed that this thing is too rare.Think about it too, if there are really as many as sparrows, then there is no need for him to look for them?
"Where did Master Wu see the crested ibis?" Liu Junhao asked another most important question.

"It's by the mountain stream, that thing eats loach, and I killed it with one shot..." Liu Wuye explained, and then his tone became quite regrettable, "I didn't know this bird was rare before, but I should have known it earlier I don’t commit crimes, and I don’t know if there are any in our mountain, I haven’t seen it for decades.”

"When was the last time you saw a crested ibis?"

"It seems to be six years or so, I don't remember clearly. At that time, there were still many roe deer on our mountain, and they were all beaten up."

"In the early years, there were still tigers and wolves," the old bull head added.

Six or a few years, and now there are four or fifty years, which is too long.Liu Junhao now has no hope for this bird-hunting operation in the mountains.Human activities have caused too many creatures to lose their living places. More than ten years ago, the wild fruits on the mountain were crushed into clusters, and no one picked them up when they fell on the ground.There are piles of old turtles in the river, pheasants and rabbits running around in the woods, and squirrels and raccoons sneaking into the village in winter to steal food.There are also birds from the ground in the wheat ditches, dragonflies flying all over the sky in summer afternoons and so on.Counting a few decades ahead, you can see raccoons, wild wolves, leopards and even tigers in the mountains and forests.

It's a pity that everything has become a thing of the past in just a few decades, and the younger generation can only hear the sigh of the past from the mouth of the old people.The disappearance of such a beautiful bird in the mountains may be nature's greatest punishment to human beings.However, he still had some hope in his heart, hoping that he could find the crested ibis this time.If they are found, Liu Junhao intends to put them in the stone lock to feed them. I believe that with the unique growth environment of the stone lock space, the crested ibis population in Daqingshan will definitely flourish again in a short time.

The information Liu Wuye gave was too vague, by the side of the mountain stream.The mountain stream is winding and winding, tens of miles long. According to what he said, when will we find it?

* * *
"What, there are crested ibises in Daqingshan, why didn't I know?" When Zhang Qian came back at noon, just as Liu Junhao told the news, she jumped up and down.

"Don't talk about you, I just found out about it, but it's probably extinct now." Liu Junhao smiled and narrated the whole thing, and then told the news that he was a guide.

"Why are you like this? You get discouraged before you set off. I think the environment of Daqingshan is very well protected. Maybe the crested ibis still exists." Zhang Qian's words were obviously idealistic, and she was extremely looking forward to discovering Crested ibis.Growing up so big, I have never seen the real thing, only the pictures on the computer.

"What are you talking about, it's so lively?" At this time, Professor Zhao picked too many vegetables in the morning, and he couldn't finish them, so he sent some over.

"Uncle Zhao, the crested ibis has been found in Liujiagou," Zhang Qian said excitedly.

"What?" The old man almost threw the vegetables on the ground, "Really?"

"It was discovered before," Liu Junhao hurriedly interjected to correct.Now he finally understands the meaning of "The sow walks up the tree after the words pass through three mouths", and the meaning of the news changes as soon as it passes through one person's mouth.According to my wife's words, it is estimated that if it is passed on, it will become "a cluster of ten thousand crested ibises found in Daqingshan".

"There used to be crested ibises in Daqingshan?" Even so, Professor Zhao was still a bit stunned.

"I'm not sure about this, anyway, I haven't seen it before."

In fact, Liu Junhao visited many elderly people in the morning, but the results were not satisfactory.In the entire Liujiagou, Wu Ye was the only one who insisted that he had seen this thing, and the others had never even heard of it.

"I mentioned it to the students during class in the afternoon, and asked them to go back and ask the elderly at home, maybe I can provide you with some information." Zhang Qian put forward her own thoughts at this time.

Hearing what his wife said, Liu Junhao's eyes brightened.My eyes are limited to Liujiagou, so I should jump out of the circle to look at the problem.No one else saw it in Liujiagou, which doesn't mean that other villages didn't either.You should take the pictures and visit several nearby villages and ask if anyone else has seen them, maybe you will gain something else.Especially Daliang Village should be the focus of this visit. I heard from Old Liu that there were more hunters in that village.

After lunch, Sun Yutao and Xu Dongfang rushed over.As soon as the two of them arrived outside the courtyard, Xiao Pi Ceng rushed out of the nest.

A stranger came, and Liu Junhao immediately received the signal.He knew Xiaopi very well, and when ordinary acquaintances came over, this guy didn't have that much reaction.

"Liu Junhao, are you at home?" Sun Yutao and Sun Yutao also remembered that there was a dog in Liu Junhao's courtyard, so they didn't rush into the courtyard.

"It's you guys, please come in." Liu Junhao hurriedly moved two chairs for them to sit down.

Seeing the master's posture, Xiaopi relaxed his vigilant posture, stretched out his nose and sniffed at the two people, then returned to the kennel and squatted down.

"Zhizhi" Wukong saw the guests, and immediately rushed out from inside, holding his paws in front of his chest as if begging for something.

"Is this the monkey you fed?" The two of them found the monkey's strange posture very novel, and they didn't remember it the last time they came here.

"It's called Wukong, this guy is very tough, let's go" Liu Junhao waved the monkey away.It doesn't matter what the occasion is, as long as the guests come, they ask for things, which is too embarrassing for the host.

"Compared to last time, the yard has changed a lot. What about your Qingzhuang, why haven't you seen it?" Xu Dongfang turned his head and looked in the yard for a week, and finally asked with great interest.

"I went out to find food, I'll be right back after calling out." Liu Junhao said and blew a loud whistle.

Within a minute of "scratching", Qunqing Zhuang ran back to the yard, screaming around the owner.

"Tsk tsk, your bird is really obedient," the two of them were stunned again by Qingzhuang's performance.

What surprised them even more was that the little starling heard the commotion outside, and flew onto the table screaming "scratch".

"Is this mynah?" The two of them tended to petrify their heads.

Before Liu Junhao could nod his head to answer, the mynah imitated Doudou and yelled "Meow...meow...".

"Your domestic animals are unreasonable." At the end, the two were completely numb.

For a moment, they forgot the original reason for coming, and went to the Huotou pool to look at the two big fireheads with great interest.This fire head has also been a relatively eye-catching star recently. At the beginning, when it was time to feed the children, they would fight a lot, and there was a posture that could not accommodate two tigers.But after the two sides are fully familiar with each other, they have no desire to fight.

"We want to go up to the mountain to have a look this afternoon..." After resting in Liu Junhao's courtyard for an hour, Xu Dongfang remembered the reason for their visit.

"It's so urgent, I want to take you to a few nearby villages to ask." Liu Junhao said the plan, and the two immediately nodded in agreement.Field trips, visits to old hunters around, it is very important to have first-hand information.It's just that the two of them are not familiar with this area, and they didn't expect that there is a village not far away.

Whether it was early or late, the three of them did not continue to rest in the yard, and Liu Junhao led them directly to Daliang Village.When the monkey saw its master going out, it immediately made a fuss and wanted to follow, but Liu Junhao locked it in the courtyard.

The straight-line distance between Daliang Village and Liujiagou is not far, there is only a mountain in the middle, but Wangshan is a dead horse, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, it takes an hour to walk.

"Finding Zhu Xi is such an important matter, why don't you two students come here without a teacher leading the team?" Halfway through, Liu Junhao remembered this important question.

After hearing what he said, the two people's faces became a little unnatural.

"When we went back last time, we told the instructor about this news, and wanted to apply for a re-examination of the project. It's just that the teacher didn't quite believe that there were crested ibises in Daqingshan, so the project failed..."

"Then what are you doing this time?"

"Self-funded investigation, just to find a result." Sun Yutao looked like an optimist, and answered cheerfully.

"So you can't kill us too hard, I will give you a guide fee of 20 yuan at most per day." Xu Dongfang also followed.After they refused to be their guides last time, the two also got to know them sideways. They knew that they earned a hundred and ten yuan a day from selling rice field eels, and they didn't care about that little money at all.Therefore, he needs to be vaccinated first, so that Liu Junhao will open his mouth when the time comes.

"Hehe, we are all friends, it's vulgar to mention money. I don't want a guide fee for your attitude of investigating at your own expense." He also saw what the two of them did, and they were people who devoted themselves to learning.Although Liu Junhao has never been to college, he still admires such serious people.

"How can I do that, I can't let you do it for nothing." Hearing what he said, Xu Dongfang felt embarrassed, and felt that he was treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"What's the matter? You go to Liujiagou for inspection. If you really find a crested ibis, you will advertise our village. We have taken advantage of not paying the advertising fee..." It is definitely a sensation to find a crested ibis in Daqingshan. news.

"It would be great if I found out." Sun Yutao sighed with a wry smile. In fact, he didn't have much hope for this investigation.

"Hey, isn't this the guy who sells thirteen incense sticks? It's been a while since you sold thirteen incense sticks on the street..." Just as they arrived at the entrance of Daliang Village, an old man blocked their way.

Khan, I haven't sold Shisanxiang for more than a year, and some people still remember it.Liu Junhao replied with a smile, "I changed my career."

"Whose house are you going to? Tell me, and I'll take you there." The old man seemed very enthusiastic.

"We're not looking for people, we're looking for birds. Sir, have you ever seen this kind of bird?" Xu Dongfang said as he took out the photo from his pocket.

"This bird..." The old man looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and replied: "I haven't seen it before."

The three of them asked all the way, and finally reached the old Liangtou's house.

Seeing that it was Liu Junhao, the old man immediately urged them to go inside to drink water.

"Isn't this the Vermilion Bird?" Old Liangtou exclaimed with some doubts when he saw the photo.

"Have you seen it?" They immediately became excited.If there was some doubt about Liu Wuye's statement before, it has become affirmative now.Just from the fact that people can call out this name in one breath, one can imagine that he should have seen it before.It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.
