There were not only sheep, rabbits, but also birds by the lake, and Luo Tong saw about 20 birds with black necks, which looked like cranes, but the color was different from the pictures of white cranes she had seen.

There are slightly larger adult cranes as well as young cranes.

The total length of the crane is about 120 cm, the whole body is grayish-white, the neck and legs are relatively long, the top of the head and the first bare part of the eyes are dark red, and the top of the head is covered with sparse hair-like feathers.

The bare red skin on the top of the head looks very vivid. The rest of the head and about two-thirds of the upper part of the neck are black, except for a small white or grayish-white spot behind the eyes and under the eyes.

The top of the young crane is brownish-yellow, the neck is black and white, and the back is grayish-yellow, and the body size is much smaller than that of the larger crane.

Almost all of the people who looked at Luo Tong were young cranes, and Luo Tong has now discovered that the smaller the animal, the more she can feel her affinity.

A few young cranes wanted to get closer to Luotong, but they were stopped by the cranes.

Luo Tong patted Guo Ri's head and pointed not far away, Guo Ri reluctantly lay down more than ten meters away from Luo Tong.

It's just that the eyes are still staring at this side, if it can speak, it is estimated that it is Luo Tong, who likes the new and hates the old, and it hasn't been long yet, and it will fall out of favor in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the biggest threat had left, the young cranes suddenly lost their scruples and flapped their wings and flew towards Luotong.

They stopped lightly beside Luo Tong, a little nervous at first, but later saw that Luo Tong didn't chase them, and they became more and more bold.

The courage had already come to Luo Tong's hand, and the long beak pecked the back of her hand. Luo Tong was a little afraid of itching, and giggled.

Not far away, the cranes were also ready to move, and seeing that there was no threat, they slowly surrounded them.

Now Luo Tong's surroundings are completely lively, the big cranes are dancing, and the young cranes are playing affectionately around Luo Tong.

After Tsering Zhuoma got up, he heard that Luo Tong and Guori were going to play together, so he went out with Danzhu to find her, after all, it was also time for dinner, right?

The two of them are also in the mood to give it a try, after all, the pastoral area is not small, maybe they can't touch it. Who knew that when I went to the lake where Zhuoma usually goes, I saw a scene of people and cranes living in harmony.

Danzhu is still a child, and when she saw the cranes surrounding Luo Tong, she couldn't help clapping her hands and shouting: "Big sister is so powerful, she can make the birds so close." ”

Tsering Zhuoma touched Danzhu's head to hide the surprise in his eyes: "That's a black-necked crane, not an ordinary bird, it's very precious." ”

Luo Tong naturally heard their movements, and when he saw the Zhuoma sisters and brothers coming, the cranes were a little commotion, and later saw that these two people were not harmful, and the cranes quieted down again.

Luo Tong just heard Zhuoma say that this is a black-necked crane, which is also an appropriate name, but isn't the neck black.

Tsering Zhuoma's sister and brother sat beside Luo Tong, and the cranes gradually surrounded Luo Tong.

Danzhu is a very tiger-headed boy, and there are naughty young cranes who come to Danzhu's side, which makes the boy laugh non-stop.

"Sister Tongtong, it's time for us to go back to dinner, Brother-in-law Sheng is already waiting. ”

After being intimate with the crane flock for a long time, Zhuoma spoke. In fact, she was reluctant to part with the cranes, these elves on the grassland, just need to watch from a distance, and feel in a good mood.

Even if he was reluctant, Luo Tong said goodbye to the cranes. Seeing the cranes leaving, Guo Ri immediately found the opportunity to come to Luo Tong's side, and rolled around Luo Tong's hand to sell cuteness, hoping that Luo Tong would comb its body again.

Worried that there were Zhuoma sisters and brothers, Luo Tong was stunned and didn't do it, just thinking about grooming it when she was alone with Guori.

On the way back to the yurt, I passed a fenced area filled with sheep. Danzhu said with pride: "This is all my family, and my family has a thousand sheep." ”

Luo Tong was shocked by this number, "There are so many sheep, is there enough grass on this grassland?"

She also heard that grazing is actually very harmful to the grassland, many nomads are shooting a shot to change places, and when the grass here is eaten, they go to the next place, and for a long time, will not cause the ecological environment of the grassland to deteriorate?

Tsering Zhuoma smiled: "It's different now, everyone used to graze, and the sheep went wherever they went, but now it's not good." ”

"What do you say?" Luo Tong became interested now, could it be that there were other ways in this?

"How do you say that? In the past, people used to raise a lot of sheep, but then the grasslands were degraded, and many places became desertified. In addition, everyone is cutting trees and shoveling turf and the like, and the environment is not very good. ”

Maybe thinking of some previous scenes, Dolma's tone was a little embarrassed.

"We are rich in Chinese medicinal materials such as Cordyceps sinensis, and the market demand is large, and people will come to the grassland every spring to dig medicinal materials, and the ecological environment of this grassland is even worse. ”

"As soon as the grassland environment is degraded, there will be more rodent pests and insect pests, and they will expand every year. In addition, there are not only pasture grasses in this grassland, but also poisonous weeds. ”

"Poisonous weeds?" Hearing a new word, Luo Tong was curious.

"I know, I know that this poisonous weed is a poisonous plant, and we mainly have wolf venom, drunken horse grass and so on. Danzhu finally interjected, and couldn't help but be a little excited.

"That's right, these poisonous plants have well-developed root systems, cold tolerance, drought tolerance, early regreening, strong vitality, and strong resistance to stress, it not only competes with excellent pastures for land, but also competes with excellent pastures for nutrients and water in the soil. In the grassland, it has increased year by year, and even formed obvious dominant populations in some grasslands, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of grassland. ”

Speaking of these, Zhuoma also sighed. Herdsmen rely on the grassland for food, but when these factors are combined, herders are also very hard.

"Then there's nothing you can do, just watch the grasslands degrade?"

"Naturally, there is," said Dolma, and his face was bright. "Now that there is a policy, everyone can contract this piece of grassland, and follow the principle of who contracts and grazes and then governs. ”

"It's good that this way, unlike before, where the sheep eat wherever they go, so that the sheep of each family eats the grass in their own area, and no one takes anyone's own. ”

Luo Tong nodded, in the past, everyone may have thought that this grassland is ownerless, and the pasture is also ownerless, and it doesn't cost money to eat some pasture, and there is no responsibility to maintain the grassland, so they can graze with peace of mind.

But if you only take and don't build, sooner or later nature will ring the alarm bell, and nothing can be obtained without paying a price.
