Goose-feather snowflakes fluttered down, and the first snow of the year was very powerful, rising directly to the level of blizzard.
Even after a detailed inspection, there were still some minor problems with the heating device wiring at the top of the five greenhouses, which were repaired overnight before returning to normal.
This is also an inevitable situation, because there are so many greenhouses now, and this snow came too early, several days ahead of the original maintenance plan on the farm.
The temperature in the house is quite comfortable, Alex and the little animals play on the carpet with a little trouble, and Liu Heming often goes over to make trouble for the little ones.
was having fun with the two little guys, one big and one small, when Liu Heming's phone rang. When he took it out, it turned out to be Affled's call, which made Liu Heming look forward to it.
"Alfred, are you all in touch with those peacock eggs?" asked Liu Heming with a smile after the phone was connected.
"Dexter, the peacock eggs have been almost collected. Collected from different ethnic groups, divided into several batches. Now we are also hatching in incubators, and in the future you will only need to give some adult peacocks to the peacock population that is bred in the pasture. Alfred said, but his tone wasn't very happy.
"Alfred, what's going on?" Liu Heming asked curiously.
"Dexter, I have a somewhat excessive request, I wonder if you can rescue the snow geese that have landed in Boot City. After a moment of silence, Alfred said.
"Boot City sounds familiar, as if I've heard it before, but I don't remember it. Liu Heming frowned and said.
"That's right, this blizzard came too quickly. Originally, there was nothing, but it was just in time for a flock of about 15,000 snow geese to migrate. Alfred said.
"In the past, the lake froze later, so they were able to find a suitable place to rest. But this year, the temperature dropped too quickly, and those lakes froze ahead of schedule. So the place they chose to settle this time was the Berkeley Pit. ”
"Now rescuers have rushed over to drive and treat the snow geese. It's just that we found it a little late, they landed last night, and some of the snow geese may have drunk the water from the pit. ”
"OK, the snow isn't very heavy right now, so I'll take a helicopter over. You can also muster some vehicles and food over there, and you can pull this flock of snow geese to my ranch for the time being, and I'll arrange for someone to break open the lake in my ranch. Liu Heming said without any hesitation.
"Dexter, they're all wild snow geese, and I don't know how many I can catch. Alfred said with some depression.
Liu Heming was stunned for a moment, "Okay, you help me contact the transport vehicle over there, and I'll talk about the rest when I get there." ”
As soon as I was in a hurry, I forgot that others didn't have the ability to do it with Alex, and those snow geese would obediently get into the car, and they would definitely not be scared to run around.
"Dexter, is there something?" asked Sasha.
Liu Heming nodded, "There is a little bit of a small situation, and there are some snow geese that need to be rescued. You just wait for my good news at home, and let those snow geese use our house as a foothold in the future. ”
"TC, come with me. Then let the tanks break the surface of our big lake, and then you can see what these snow geese eat, and then prepare some. ”
"Dad, I'm going too. Alex, who was playing with a little kid on the side, ran over and took his hand and said.
"Well, Daddy will take you, but it will be very tiring. Liu Heming nodded on the little guy's nose and said.
The little one nodded happily, and then ran upstairs to find his little padded jacket.
The preparations on the ranch side also started against the snow, in fact, Liu Heming is a little confused now, whether the rescue of these snow geese is just to find a temporary tenant in the ranch or because he really cares about it.
In the past, he had simply considered this problem, whether it was saving small animals in forest fires or saving small animals in floods, but he didn't think about it carefully at that time.
This time things are a little different, one is a little far away from themselves, and the other is that they didn't have any consideration, so they responded to this matter.
He felt that while he enjoyed the benefits brought by the system, he was also affected by the system. Otherwise, such a rescue, even if it was replaced by the previous self, would never have been considered.
This Berkeley pit, that's a famous existence. Because this is not an ordinary pit, it can even be called the most poisonous landscape in the world.
This poison has no other meaning, it is literal, the water accumulated in this pit is really poisonous.
It was originally an open-pit copper mine, but it was mined and left here. It will be said that this place is poisonous, because the water here contains all kinds of toxic substances, and if you drink it, you will not die or be disabled.
The reason why I noticed this area in the first place was because of the rainbow lake in the ranch, so I also paid attention to the lake spots around the world.
The water here is also a little red in color because of the various chemicals it contains. Don't look at the poisonous scene, there are many tourists who come here for sightseeing.
Flying in a blizzard is not so easy. This means that TC has long been accustomed to flying in various conditions, otherwise it would be difficult for ordinary civil aviation pilots to complete this flight mission.
But even so, the speed of flight is slow. Visibility is too low, and the effects of wind have to be taken into account.
"Daddy, look good. Alex, who was leaning on the window and looking out, turned around and said.
"Don't get too close to the window, it's cold. Liu Heming dragged the little guy into his arms.
"Daddy, what is a snow goose, is it cute?" asked the little one, holding his head up.
"Snow goose, it's okay. They should be distant relatives of our ducks, they are all a big family, but they don't usually play together. Liu Heming said.
"Oh, then, can their eggs be pickled and eaten, will they have good oil?" asked the little fellow curiously.
"Well, I guess it's okay. Liu Heming hesitated.
He didn't know if it would be pickled in oil, anyway, eggs and duck eggs were fine, so snow goose eggs were similar.
"But we have a lot of duck eggs at home, and they're all pickled, so we don't need to eat these snow goose eggs. Liu Heming still made up for it.
He didn't know if it was illegal to eat these snow goose eggs, but he felt that it was still not good to eat them. There are so many ducks at home, and that egg is also eaten casually.
"Boss, there are about twenty minutes left to get to the destination. At this time, TC made a notice in the headset.
"You pay more attention to safety, there may be snow geese flying in the sky here. Liu Heming reminded.
Thinking of this, he connected with Alfred on the ground.
"Dexter, I've arrived here. How long do you have left?" Alfred asked.
"There are less than twenty minutes to mark where we can land, and the visibility is too low right now. Liu Heming said.
"OK, it's been cleaned up. We'll light a campfire on the side and we'll use the smoke from flares to guide you. Alfred said, finally with a hint of excitement in his tone.
After flying for a while, even if the visibility was low, Liu Heming saw the place where Alfred provided him to land.
The campfire was large, and the red smoke was thick, so you could see it clearly even if the visibility was low.
There was no scene of snow geese hitting the plane that Liu Heming was worried about, and Alfred was also prepared in advance.
"Dexter, did you bring the potion here?" Liu Heming had just stepped off the plane when Alfred hurriedly asked.
"I brought some with me, all of which were newly made this year. What's the situation on this side now?" asked Liu Heming.
"The situation is not very good, and there may be more than 8,000 snow geese drinking water. Alfred said.
"In '95, something similar happened. So there are also caregivers here, but this time the situation is too sudden. ”
Liu Heming nodded, and now he can also see some snow geese flying in the sky, some snow geese resting not far from the pit, and many snow geese floating on the water. Needless to say, this is the one who drank too much poisoned water and was directly poisoned here.
There are also a lot of staff members who are driving the snow geese on the lake to prevent them from continuing to land on the lake. There were several boats, also stacked with the carcasses of snow geese.
"Daddy, what's wrong with these ducks, why don't they play in the water?" asked Alex curiously.
"They're tired and need a little rest. Just like those ducks and ducks in our house, they often rest on the side. Liu Heming pretended to be relaxed and said.
"It's very cold, Alex should be obedient in a while, go to the tent next to the side and drink some hot water, okay?
"Well, come on, Dad. The little guy said happily. Liu Heming assigned her a task, and she would be very happy.
Liu Heming gave TC a look and asked him to take care of Alex. Don't you dare to let Alex know that these snow geese that are not moving on the lake are already hanging, in that case, the little one will be very sad.
"I didn't expect you to bring Alex with you. Alfred said.
When the little one heard the news, he had to come along. And she's always been very popular with the animals, and with her, it's a lot easier for a while. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"It's a tragedy, and the murderers are us humans. Alfred said, looking at the lake.
"There's not much we can do but find problems and solve them. As for how much damage this problem will cause, it is beyond our control. Liu Heming comforted.
Alfred was a little sensational, but not bad.
