Chapter 492 There are fewer fish
“Is it a crane?”
Chen Ling narrowed his eyes, and before he could see clearly, the two black figures on the wall spread their wings and fluttered. Flying towards them.
When this big bird flies, it is different from the small bird.
When I was in the sky, it looked like nothing.
But now so close to the ground.
Good guy.
After the pair of big wings spread out, they started to flap, and a whirring gust of wind blew towards them.
It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it’s really just that when you get close.
Zhao Yubao and the others have never encountered such a big bird swooping in.
Everyone screamed "Oh, oh...".
Screaming and dodging.
Ruirui in Shanmao's arms was also frightened and closed his eyes tightly.
"What kind of bird is this? How can you be so brave and dare to attack people?"
"Stew it and eat it."
The two old men shouted.
Only then did Chen Ling see the appearance of the two big birds clearly, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded: "Damn, it's a red-crowned crane?!"
"What? A red-crowned crane?"
The two old men were just about to pounce and catch these two bold birds.
Hearing Chen Ling's words, he immediately stopped and looked carefully.
I saw these two big birds flying down from the wall. They were two slender and elegant red-crowned cranes.
And these two red-crowned cranes are obviously not afraid of people.
After landing on the ground, he walked to the ditch with his wings on his back, lowered his head and stretched his neck, and used his long mouth to skillfully catch small fish.
He seemed to turn a blind eye to them.
“Huh? Isn’t this the red-crowned crane that fell in your village last year?”
Seeing how courageous these two red-crowned cranes were, the lynx suddenly thought of it and couldn't help but blurt it out.
After Chen Ling saw the appearance of these two guys clearly, he put down the bamboo pole in his hand.
Shrugging his shoulders, he said helplessly: "Isn't it true? Looking at the virtue of looking for fish to eat when flying down, except for the two cranes last year, others will not be like this."
< br>Swallow.
Crane.
Wild geese.
These migratory birds with their migration habits have very strong memories.
When I fly back next year, I will still remember the place where I lived before.
As Chen Ling spoke, he kicked two skinless and shameless rogue birds with his feet.
The two rogue birds still remembered him and were not afraid of life at all.
As soon as he dodged, he spread his wings and yelled "Quack, quack..." and dodged away.
"Go aside, no eating is allowed."
"Oh, Fugui, don't drive them away. They must have traveled a long way. They are hungry and tired. Let them eat something. . ”
“No, there are no big fish here, they are all small fry. How can we let them cause harm?”
“That’s not possible. They are causing trouble. Let’s go out and catch fish for the red-crowned cranes.”
As the two old men spoke, they stretched out their hands with smiles and touched the two red-crowned cranes, wanting to take them out to catch fish.
The two red-crowned cranes decided that the fish in the farm was delicious and they were willing to do it.
He kept spreading his wings, screaming and jumping to avoid.
Ruirui looked interesting. He grunted and struggled to get out of the bobcat's arms, and ran forward to follow in the fuss.
Chen Ling also quickly called his wife and others over and said that the red-crowned crane was back.
"Quack, quack, quack..."
The two cranes on the ground are screaming, and a group of cranes in the sky are also screaming.
However, when the cranes in the sky saw the situation of the two red-crowned cranes on the ground, they obviously did not dare to fly down. They just looked at the light and landed on the wall of the farm one by one.
A group of big birds stood in a row. Looking against the light in the night, each one looked like a figure wearing a coat, which looked quite scary.
Chen Ling brought a flashlight and shone it, and everyone stared at it carefully.
"Aren't those red-crowned cranes? There seem to be only two or three on the wall!"
"Well, more of them are white cranes, gray cranes and the like. They should have flown here with the red-crowned cranes. Wasn't it the same last year? ”
“Tsk, it’s probably a flood downstream, so they couldn’t wait any longer.”
“Maybe.”
The migration of red-crowned cranes is not as large as that of wild geese, with dozens or hundreds at a time.
When red-crowned cranes migrate, it is quite common to see five, six, or a dozen.
And it is not impossible for red-crowned cranes to mix with other miscellaneous cranes during their migration.
They are the same as wild geese.
Not only do they hide in their nests to sleep at night, they also migrate and fly.
Fly until you reach your destination.
On clear autumn nights, you can often hear them chirping high overhead.
It is just the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and we are in the breeding season of large waterfowl such as cranes and herons, which generally do not move easily and migrate long distances.
Of course, this breeding season does not mean that they have just laid eggs.
It means that they may have reached the final stage of incubation, or they have completed incubation and are raising chicks.
How can you leave so easily in such a situation?
So after all, it may have been affected by the flood again and flew from the east. "If you do this for two consecutive years, you will probably have a long memory next year and fly directly to us, right?"
Wang Qingwen picked up two dizzy cicadas under the electric light and threw them away. In the past, two red-crowned cranes actually went to eat.
The big long mouth took it in his mouth and swallowed it whole.
"Who knows? Anyway, Bai He only came back on September 9th in previous years."
Chen Ling looked at the big bird on the wall and was a little worried about the fry he had just released. The fry he had just released were small fry of mullet and salmon, and they were worth his money. How could he let these big long beaks do harm to them.
Let them eat freely. In one night, all the fish fry in the ditch may be eaten.
So I said to the two old men who were happily playing around the red-crowned crane: "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhong, let's go outside and catch fish for them. We don't have any fish for them at home."
"Okay, let's go, catch fish to feed the red-crowned cranes."
When they went out to catch monkeys at night, they would also stop by Laohe Bay to get down from the cage, or Insert two eel hooks and collect them early the next morning.
The red-crowned cranes flew here tonight. They must be no longer interested in catching cicada monkeys, nor are they interested in traveling so far to Laohe Bay to catch fish.
I held down two big rogue birds forcibly, dragged them out of the farm, and went to the small river ditch behind the farm to catch fish.
But these two big birds are familiar with people and are not afraid of people.
No other crane will do.
I saw two red-crowned cranes being dragged out by force, and they were so frightened that they all flew away from the wall.
Looking at the direction, they should be heading towards Shanzhong Lake, but Chen Ling and the others didn't pay much attention.
I just dragged two red-crowned cranes out of the farm.
The whole way there was a lot of excitement, Leder Ruirui kept screaming with excitement, which scared the little beasts and wild birds that came to the orchard to hunt for food and flew around in all directions.
There are also a group of fluffy little tabby cats chasing small black rails in the tall grass.
“Hey, these little raccoon dogs are quite capable. They are just catching little corncrackers to eat.”
"The cat must be smart. A few days ago, he ran into the farm and stayed under the electric light to catch cicadas. The chicks have hatched in the past two days, and they have eaten some."
Raised by Chen Ling The two nests of mountain civets and the wild civets outside are the natural enemies of these chickens, so the orchard has been very busy at night these two days.
They were talking.
The two red-crowned cranes were restless.
It was just dark at this time, and the fish were caught from seven to nine o'clock. The daytime in summer was very hot, and many fish would surface at this time to look for food.
Two big rogue birds with sharp eyes.
I saw a school of fish floating on the channel at a glance. I jumped away from people's touches and went to catch fish in it.
Looks like he is really hungry and eats fish whenever he sees it.
These fish are not that valuable, and most of them are small miscellaneous fish. It doesn’t hurt to eat two Chen Ling.
But they still lead them to the small river ditch at the foot of the back mountain. There are many small miscellaneous fish there, and ducks and waterfowl eat them all day long, it doesn’t matter.
These two big birds are really familiar with each other, and they get close to whoever feeds them.
Zhao Yubao and the two old men fed them a lot and gave them as much as they caught. Finally, they had enough to eat and drink. Like the two old men, they carried their wings on their backs, walked slowly, and followed them home. .
The two old men were so happy that they almost lost their way.
Carrying a small bucket of fish and feeding it while walking, it is like taking care of your own grandson.
After luring the two cranes into the village, a group of villagers enjoying the shade were surprised to watch. They all said that the cranes missed their old friendship and actually came back this year.
Such fine cranes, this time I have to take them to my home and serve them with delicious food and drinks for a few days.
In fact, this was the case last year. Every family in the village competed to raise the red-crowned crane for a few days.
After knowing this is the case.
Zhao Yubao and Zhao Yubao were also happy to join in the fun with everyone.
In the next few days, the two red-crowned cranes not only enjoyed being fed by the villagers, but their companions were also attracted. There were six red-crowned cranes in total. They flew to the village at dawn every day, carrying their wings and walking. Walking at a leisurely pace, he wandered around the village.
Everyone is like an uncle, hanging out in the villagers' houses and eating and drinking for free.
That guy is so comfortable.
Chen Ling took his wife and children to the village and followed the cranes several times. While feeding and playing with the cranes, he also took some photos with everyone.
It is now half of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.
Next month, the eighth day of the seventh lunar month will be the first temple fair in Chenwangzhuang.
Although the tourists attracted by various strange things in Chenwangzhuang were no worse than those of temple fairs.
But in name, everyone really paid attention to it. After all, it was the first time, and it was also a formal temple fair.
The crane flew back early at this juncture, which is a good sign.
In addition, there have been floods every summer outside the past two years. In the past two years, the situation here has been very stable. The good weather has been brought about by the protection and protection of the 'Prince Turtle'. Every villager feels that it is appropriate to build a temple. Yes, it is something worthy of attention.
So every household, apart from being busy with farm work such as pulling weeds and removing insects in the fields, was talking about this year's temple fair.
Of course, Chen Ling had known about the temple fair for a long time, but he never paid much attention to it. Recently, apart from going to the reservoir to look for the strange fish at night, he also released horses and pigeons. When he released the horses, he went to the hospital to visit. Once Wang Jusheng was over, there was nothing special to be busy with.
After his uncle and his wife arrived, he was free again.
The only thing that is quite depressing is that after the big fishing net has been woven, the big fish in the reservoir have disappeared. No matter how hard I look for it, I can't find it.
I don’t know if he ran away or what happened.
On the contrary, the sturgeon fry he bought from Dongtian are getting bigger day by day, and are now more than one meter long.
After raising it for another two years, it might be able to catch up with that strange fish in the reservoir.
“When I’m not looking for you, I’ll just stick to you, and when I’m looking for trouble I won’t show up.”
Chen Ling sighed depressedly, it’s really like this, the big strange fish seems to know He was ready to catch it. In the past, if he went to that water area with garlic, he would be attacked. Now there is no movement at all. No matter how much he provokes or how to seduce it with bloody raw meat, it is useless.
It’s like he has completely disappeared.
"Lingzi, come and take a look, I always feel that there are fewer fish in the ditch..."
Chen Ling was getting meat from the water tower that day when his uncle suddenly called him over.
"What's wrong, brother? Which ditch has fewer fish?"
Wang Qingwen was herding sheep at this time, squatting on the west side of the farm, not far from Shanlizi Cave, pointing The two crisscrossing canals said: "This place is empty, and there are no fish in the water."
