83 Sionny
Chen Ping'an continued to advance into the jungle.
The Shennongjia forest is very dense.
It will be natural oxygen.
Chen Ping'an took a breath of air. A cold breath was inhaled from the nose to the throat to the lungs.
Walked for 1 hour.
Chen Ping'an found a bird's nest.
The bird's nest is nested among the branches of the bushes.
It is built with very fine, soft, very dry blades of grass.
However, this nest has long since been abandoned.
Chen Ping'an took off the bird's nest, put it in his backpack, and said, "It's winter, although I wear thick clothes, but it will be very cold at night, and I must make a fire at night, I will use this bird's nest as a firestarter." ”
……
In an open and flat area.
Chen Ping'an inserted a branch.
The sun shines on the branches, leaving shadows on the ground.
Chen Ping'an took a stone and placed it on the top of the shadow of the branch as a marker.
The shadows of the branches move with the movement of the sun.
15 minutes later.
Chen Ping'an put another stone on the top of the shadow of the branch again.
Then draw a straight line between the two stones.
Draw a straight line in the middle of the line that intersects it perpendicularly.
Then step on the first marker point with your left foot and the second marker with your right foot.
At this time, Chen Ping'an could discern the direction.
The front of oneself is due north.
The back is due south.
The right hand is the East.
On the left hand is the west side.
Due north, 30 degrees west is the direction of travel.
Chen Ping'an looked ahead.
There is a high mountain ahead.
Then we use the mountains as a reference. Won't get lost in the dense jungle.
Chen Ping'an continued to advance in the jungle.
After 2 hours.
It's already dusk.
Suddenly, a bird appeared in Chen Ping'an's field of vision, this bird had a red beak and was covered in green. Yang green.
Live room.
Netizens shared Chen Ping'an's vision.
The bird was also seen.
But no, it's not unusual.
What is so strange about seeing a bird in the jungle.
However, Chen Ping'an immediately knew what kind of bird it was.
"How can this bird appear in the hinterland of China. ”
This bird is called the Himalayan red-billed kingfisher.
Because, this bird is all green in color.
It is a color that Indians like.
Moreover, this bird's call is crisp and pleasant, and it is beautiful and beautiful.
It's also smart. Very spiritual.
In several states in northern India near the Himalayas, this bird is called the spirit of nature, the embodiment of nature, and is very fond of this bird. However, the bird has a low breeding rate and lays only one egg at a time, so the number of this bird is getting smaller and smaller, and then it gradually disappears.
If we say, the blue peacock is the national bird of India.
Well, in several states such as Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and Arunachal Pradesh, the Himalayan red-billed kingfisher is preferred as the national bird. Think of this bird as the embodiment of nature. The red mouth is the marker.
However, the bird became extinct as early as 1937.
The last photograph was taken by a British photographer in 1935 in a jungle in Simla, Himachal Pradesh. The black-and-white photograph does not highlight the red-beaked, green-bodied Himalayan red-billed kingfisher.
The last recorded sighting was in 1937 in the village of Menkamba in Arunachal Pradesh when a fruit farmer was in his mango orchard.
Since then, no more sightings of Himalayan red-billed kingfishers have been recorded.
As a result, the bird is considered extinct in 1937.
Unexpectedly.
This bird is found in the hinterland of China.
Birds can fly. The range of activities is very wide.
Compared to tigers, monkeys and other animals with territorial concepts.
Birds have a wider range of activities.
Chinese, except for experts in the study of birds. Very few people know this bird.
Chen Ping'an knew about this bird because Chen Ping'an had read a book that introduced all the gods and goddesses of India. Among them was a god named Sionny.
In addition to Chen Ping'an, some people also recognized this bird.
He is an Indian who has come to China for tourism. Jalaba Visa.
Just right.
He was born in Sikkim.
His grandmother told him the story of Sionny.
Hyonny translates to the embodiment of nature.
Sionny is in charge of the laws of nature.
It sometimes turns into a red-billed green-feathered bird and patrols its territory.
The red beak is the mark of Sionny.
Green is the color of nature.
Jalaba Visa made a phone call.
"Sima, is Grandmother there?"
Sima is his sister.
"She's there. Sima said.
"You turn on the computer. I'll send you a picture. Jalaba Wissa said.
"Good. ”
After 10 minutes.
"See the picture no. Jalaba Wissa asked.
"See. What kind of bird is this. It's beautiful. "Sima.
"You show the picture to your grandmother. Jalaba Wissa said.
……
"My grandmother was very excited, and next to me, she asked where the bird was found. "Sima.
"I was traveling in China and this bird was found in Lake \1 North Shennongjia, China. Can grandmother be sure it's Sionni?" said Jalaba Visa.
"Yes. My grandmother said she had met Sionny a few times as a child. Once, when Sionny was standing on a rubber tree, he chirped at her, as if he were saying something to her, and the next day there was a flood. "Sima.
…….
Immediately, Jalaba Visa's grandmother reported the news to the local authorities.
The local government is also excited. Then I escalated to my superiors.
The higher authorities quickly reported the news to the state government.
The state government reported the news to New Delhi.
However, New Delhi does not take it too seriously. My national bird is the peacock, not Sionny. It's just an ordinary extinct bird that hasn't even been reported in the media.
After the news broke, the local media in Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, and Assam reported overwhelmingly.
Sionny though exterminated.
However, Sionny has become a part of their culture.
In New Delhi.
Chinese officials, a delegation from China Railway and officials from India are talking about a project.
It was a very difficult conversation.
Because, Japan and China are competing for this project.
Suddenly, an Indian official said to China's Vice Minister Wang, "I heard that Hyonni has been found in Shennongjia, North of Lake 1 in China. "The officer was born in Arunachal Pradesh.
Vice Minister Wang was stunned. He didn't know the news, and he didn't know what Hyonny was.
Immediately, the assistant next to him whispered to him that Sionni was the deity in charge of the laws of nature in the cultures of several northern Indian states.
However, the assistant did not know that there was another bird called Sionny, which was the embodiment of nature. However, this bird has been extinct for more than half a century, and only experts who specialize in Indian culture may know about it.
Vice Minister Wang said to the assistant, "You must clarify this matter before the negotiations begin in the afternoon." ”
The assistant said, "Yes." ”
The assistant said, "Yes." ”
1 hour later.
The assistant reported to Vice Minister Wang. “…… , an anchor in the live broadcast of Shennongjia, found a red-billed green-feathered bird in Shennongjia, the scientific name of this bird is the Himalayan red-billed kingfisher, this bird is in the culture of several northern states of India, is the embodiment of nature, Sionny is in charge of the laws of nature, it often becomes a red-billed and green-bodied bird, patrolling its territory. …… However, the Himalayan red-billed kingfisher was already extinct in 1937. ”
"The Himalayan red-billed kingfisher lives in the Himalayas, so why is it found in the hinterland of China? Vice Minister Wang asked.
"If an area is destroyed, the creatures that live in it will either become smaller and smaller until they become extinct, or they will leave the area in search of a new habitat." Most birds have no territorial concept and have a wide range of activities. ”
"In Shennongjia, there are not many Himalayan red-billed kingfishers. Vice Minister Wang said.
The assistant said, "Chen Ping'an found 3 Himalayan red-billed kingfishers in one day during the live broadcast. ”
"This project negotiation is important. "The project is mainly implemented in Himachal Pradesh, which is close to the Chinese border and has many cooperation projects with China, and we sent a Himalayan red-billed kingfisher to them." It's more of a friendship than sending a giant panda to them. ”
