Chapter 515 Three treasures in one child?
Moonlight night, lake shore.
The cry of cicadas has gradually become inaudible.
A crescent moon hangs in the western night sky, surrounded by stars.
A gentle night wind blew over, and the leaves on the mountain began to rustle.
The wind blew from the southeast that night, and the rustling noises went from small to large from the southeast, layer by layer, and entered people's ears.
Walking through the mountains and forests, and blowing across the lake, the small lake in the embrace of the mountains began to ripple with sparkling waves.
Between the dark mountain shadows, the moon shadow seems to be swaying with the wind.
Under the pale moonlight, there are gentle squawking sounds in the reeds, which can be heard from time to time.
Listen carefully, the quacking sound dissipates in the wind again.
Apart from the sound of footsteps rustling in the wind, only the faint roars of desolate beasts deep in the mountains could be heard.
It seems particularly quiet and distant.
In Shen Congwen’s words: ‘This is really a holy state. ’
……
“Listen, the crane is calling again.”
Yu Qian whispered excitedly.
Beside him were Bai Huining and people from the provincial TV station.
After dinner, we went to the Egret Forest to stay and prepare for shooting.
"They haven't slept yet. This is the changing of the guard."
Chen Ling looked there and responded softly.
At night, he didn't bring his camera or telescope, and the moonlight wasn't as useful as the TV station's professional filming equipment.
It doesn’t matter.
He can see it with his eyes.
“It’s so beautiful. It’s a pleasure to shoot red-crowned cranes in such a place.”
People from the provincial TV station were still sighing.
Chen Ling said: "You guys came at the wrong time. If it had been a little later and the baby crane was about to hatch, it would have been much smoother. You could come and take photos whenever you wanted during the day and night.
Because the baby crane is about to hatch. When they hatch, even if the red-crowned crane is frightened, it will not abandon its nest again. "
This is the same as pheasants and ducks.
When the eggs are not discovered stolen, it will continue to lay eggs in the nest. It will be no problem if people come to pick up two or three eggs every day.
If you are greedy and take too much, pheasants and ducks will find out that someone has stolen their eggs, and they will abandon the nest directly, choose another place to build a nest, and lay eggs again.
This is also the reason why these red-crowned cranes and egrets grab this tail to build nests and hatch eggs at the end of their breeding period.
Because the former settlement was destroyed by floods.
Migrate here, a place they think is better to continue to reproduce.
"In this case, we will wait a few more days. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to go back this time. We have to complete the task beautifully."
The small leader of the provincial TV station Put it this way.
Yu Qian also nodded and said with a smile: "I will stay a few more days and follow Fugui to the Miao Village to hunt for a Wild Boar King."
When we finished our meal just now, everyone was drinking beer and crayfish. But the food is delicious.
The atmosphere was up, and a group of people chatted all over the place for a while. Later, they talked about what happened in the Miao Village a few days ago, which aroused everyone's surprise.
The Wild Boar King, which weighs over 800 kilograms, is really a mountain monster. Perhaps in people's minds, this level of mountain monster is second only to the thousand-year-old giant turtle and water monster.
"Then let's go too. This time, the red-crowned crane and the wild boar king will have two shows."
Several people from the provincial TV station immediately followed suit.
After they heard about this at the dinner table just now, they felt like they had found a treasure. The Wild Boar King, a mountain beast weighing 1,800 kilograms, would definitely be amazing when photographed. How could they miss it? .
Go even if you have to pay.
Just now Ruirui had been making trouble with the little clouded leopard, and the little clouded leopard shouted at him fiercely. He could shout at the little clouded leopard three times, and Heiwa and Xiaojin followed him and chased the little clouded leopard away. Wang Susu ran around for a while.
So the whole yard was in a mess. They wanted to go with Chen Ling, but they couldn't find a chance to do so.
On the way to Yamanaka Lake, I got drunk and felt a little dazed.
Now that I heard Yu Qian talking about it, I remembered it.
“Do you think it’s okay, Brother Fugui?”
“You guys are going to follow us too? Filming the Wild Boar King?”
Chen Ling pondered for a moment, “We are Going hunting is not just for fun. It will be very dangerous to confront the Wild Boar King.
And as I said when we were eating just now, the wild boar king is invulnerable and has unimaginable attack power. Even its tusks are a foot long. One bite will kill someone. "
"We are not afraid. "
"Yes, the Wild Boar King is rare and we don't want to miss it. ”
“We still have the basic qualities of journalists. ”
“……”
"Well... it's not impossible for you to want to go. I've said it in advance. I'm not responsible for your safety and I can't take care of it. You have to abide by the rules of the Miao village when you get there."
Lian Yu Qian I wanted to follow him, but his tone was also so serious.
Everyone understands it.
After all, the scene described by Chen Ling when he and Shan Mao encountered the Wild Boar King really made them feel as if they were actually there, and they were extremely nervous.
In that case, who can care about whom?
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, we understand...Huh? No, what is that?"
"What? Don't be surprised at night!"
"...It's true, just There is something crawling on the top of the southeast cliff, haven’t you seen it?”
Hearing this, Chen Ling squinted his eyes and looked over. Under the hazy moonlight, there was a long black shadow with a strange appearance. Moving slowly on the top of the cliff.
Look carefully, that is not the same thing.
Instead, four figures were connected in series.
"I saw it, don't panic, it's a fox, and it's probably eyeing the egret in the forest."
Chen Ling said.
"Isn't it, Brother Chen? I saw such a long black shadow, how could it be a fox? I think it is a python!"
A young man from the TV station questioned, "Everyone thinks It is said that there is a giant python that has become a spirit deep in the Qinling Mountains.”
"They are foxes, but they are a big one leading a small one. One big one leads three small ones, biting each other's tails, so when you look at it, they look like a long series."
" ...Huh? Let me take another look. Hey, that tail does look a bit like a fox...is it so magical?”
“Well, this kind of scene is rare, I guess. It was the big fox who brought him out to teach him how to do it. Otherwise, usually, the big fox would come out to find food on his own, and the little one would wait in the nest.”
“It’s amazing, so amazing.”
Yu Qian, the young couple, was also a little amazed.
Yu Qian almost couldn't help but shine his flashlight over it, squatting there and muttering repeatedly: "It's better to guard the mountain, it's better to guard the mountain."
...
Sure enough, After the four foxes came down the top of the cliff, they dispersed, going left and right, taking short steps towards the egret's nest.
After a while, the forest became lively.
The croaking and flapping of wings lasted for a while...
Chen Ling and the others squatted on the spot, watching quietly without making a sound.
Because this is not the end, but just the beginning. In the next half hour, foxes, mountain raccoons, and small animals suspected of being yellow-throated martens visited one after another.
Relatively speaking, the movement of the fox is still the most conspicuous.
Both raccoons and yellow-throated martens come and go from trees.
People have no idea when they come.
By the time they found the egrets making panicked calls, they had already slipped away with their prey in their mouths.
Chen Ling and the others once couldn't help but follow the sound with a flashlight, and saw a mountain raccoon holding an egret several times larger than its body, and turned around with green eyes. He came, raised his tail, glanced at them, and then quickly disappeared among the branches and leaves.
Shanlizi is very stable.
The yellow-throated marten is almost interesting, although like the mountain raccoon, it can kill egrets that are several times larger than itself. It can kill them with one hit without any effort.
But when Chen Ling and others shined their flashlights at it, they frightened it so much that it lost its grip on the prey and fell from the tree.
But the fallen egret was already dead. Chen Ling and the others walked over and looked at it, but did not pick it up.
Egret meat is not delicious, so it is better to leave it on the mountain and wait for predators to pick it up.
Everyone just used flashlights to search and collected all the newly laid eggs from some dead egret nests on the cliff.
They didn't take anything with them when they went up the mountain. They had to wrap the eggs in three or four pieces of clothing when they went back.
It can be seen that these egrets have a bad fate.
They just built a nest and laid eggs.
It becomes someone else’s meal. This is the cruelty of nature.
Back at the foot of the mountain, Wang Susu and Qin Qiumei were guarding a large wooden basin and bathing Ruirui.
When Chen Ling and the others went to the mountains, this brat was not honest. He drove away the little clouded leopard, and then grabbed the little tabby cat at home to cause trouble.
Later, he placed all the little turtles he had raised in front of him. He used his own little white elephant toy, pulled a rope to wind up the clockwork, and let the little white elephant run back and forth against the turtles.
Sometimes the little white elephant rushed out and ran away, and he would let Heiwa Xiaojin block it, and then he would come back and continue to do it.
Fortunately, there are many people at home who can take care of their children today.
Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun didn't go back late, so they helped Wang Susu watch him make trouble.
Otherwise, with all his effort, he would definitely be beaten by Wang Susu.
Chen Ling was also very depressed.
The little baby is just over one year old, and I don’t know where he gets so much energy.
I feel tired every day.
I just entered the cave after the full moon, and this is what happened?
“Dad!”
The brat saw several of them coming back with a bunch of clothes in their arms, chatting and laughing as they walked, and then he stood up from the tub, staring at him curiously with his shiny black eyes, and pointed with his little hand: "That~"
"Nothing about this or that, just go to bed after taking a shower."
Chen Ling shaved his little nose.
The brat has a lot going on.
Everyone also laughed and squatted down to tease him. They all said they wanted to tickle him and play with his little bird.
When the brat saw this, he screamed and hid here and there, kicking his little feet in the basin and flopping around, causing the water in the basin to splash everywhere.
Chen Ling took the opportunity to take the egret eggs and put them into the kitchen in the backyard.
No way.
There are no old hens in the house recently.
He was too lazy to look outside.
If there's nothing you can do about it then, you'll just have to eat it.
......
"What did you bring back just now?"
"The egret eggs you took out, a lot of egrets have died these days, those eggs are There are as many as two baskets. It’s a waste to throw them in the nest. It’s better to pick them up.”
At night, after finally getting Ruirui to sleep, Chen Ling and his wife took a bath in the room next to the bedroom. say.
"So much? It would be a pity not to pick it up.
You have to come back early this time. My belly is getting bigger and bigger, and I always feel flustered."
Wang Susu Caressing the smooth and white belly, "People say that my belly looks like I am pregnant with three children. I can even put bowls on it to eat. If there are really three babies by then, it will not be as easy as giving birth to Ruirui."
As she spoke, her face began to look a little worried.
With wet hair, she looks a little more pitiful than before.
Chen Ling felt even more compassionate and comforted: "Don't always think nonsense, your belly is not small when you are pregnant with Ruirui. Our child is strong, not necessarily pregnant.
You forgot When you were giving birth to Ruirui, the woman in the delivery room next door was crying, but you didn't put much effort in giving birth.
The doctors praised your health.
Just eat and drink well and take good care of yourself.
Wait a minute, dry yourself before I take you out.
It's so smooth and slippery. "
Then while wiping with a towel, he continued: "When I come back this time, we will move to the county town first, and then we will guard the hospital. ...
It’s still the same as when Ruirui was born, so just go there early. ”
My daughter-in-law’s belly is getting bigger and bigger.
The mountain road is difficult to travel, and Chen Ling also has this concern.
Although it's only less than eight months old, looking at her belly...it's better to go to the county seat early and make preparations in advance.
"What about this stall at home? Do you have to come back every day? How troublesome."
"It's okay, I ride a horse very fast. I can take care of things like that at home, so I don't have to worry too much. "
As Chen Ling said, he took out his pregnant woman and wrapped her in a thin blanket. The two of them talked softly, but at this time they no longer had any charming thoughts.
No more brats jumping around and making noise.
The young couple rested on each other's pillows, enjoying the gentle night breeze, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility and comfort.
......
I just spent two comfortable days at home.
On the morning of the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, after a simple meal, Chen Ling drove out the tractor, packed up his things, and set off with a large group of people and two big, strong dogs.
At this time, in several Miao villages in Leijialing, the caravans and villagers walking in the mountains had been attacked several times by the Wild Boar King in just two days.
This pig king is far smarter than people imagine.
You know there is a hunter when you see a hunting dog, so you have to avoid it early.
And he seemed to be able to smell the sulfur smell of explosives. Not only did the wild boar cannon fail, but the villagers with guns also tried their best to hide away, as if they were fighting guerrillas.
Specially pick on weak people or caravans.
The caravans, which had no knowledge of the Wild Boar King, were attacked continuously and several people were picked to death.
The county is ready to continue fighting and will not stop until the Wild Boar King is eliminated.
When Yu Qian, who followed Chen Ling, heard about this, his thoughts of having fun disappeared instantly.
The provincial TV station and its entourage, who originally had the attitude of filming novel news, suddenly took this matter a few levels higher.
