Early the next morning, Wei Xiong and others set off, of course, Vice Governor Li and Director Wang did not go together, and Secretary Yan of the Antu County Party Committee was young due to his young age.

In addition, I am a local, and I used to climb mountains from time to time, so I set off together.

In addition, there are several police officers from the Public Security Bureau,

Several rangers from the reserve and two guides who often go to the mountains to collect medicine and hunt. It is worth mentioning that both police officers and forest rangers brought shotguns.

Because there are often Siberian tigers, black bears and other fierce beasts in the mountains.

After coming to the foot of the mountain,

The car did not stop, but continued to drive up the rugged mountain road, although it was shaky, but fortunately it did not rain recently.

It was smooth all the way.

And so it drove for more than half an hour.

Halfway up the mountain, the car stopped in an open space covered with fine gravel, and the car could not go with it further on, so it had to walk.

"Wow, what a view, there's a waterfall over there. ”

As soon as Ouyang Yaqing got out of the car, she pointed to a waterfall not far away.

Although she spoke in Cantonese, anyone with a discerning eye could see the meaning of her words from her gestures and expressions, so an older guide on the side spoke:

"There are many waterfalls like this on Changbai Mountain. ”

"Almost half an hour ahead, there is a bigger waterfall, and there is a big pool under the waterfall, and the water is clear and the bottom is visible. ”

"There are also some fish living in it. ”

"Let's go. ”

Wei Xiong looked around and felt that Changbai Mountain was indeed a good place, and the beauty of the scenery was many times stronger than the so-called Mount Fuji.

Leave a police officer to watch the car.

Others walked up the mountain road.

In this era, most people's physical fitness is still very good, and they walked for almost half an hour, not to mention those police officers and forest rangers.

Even Secretary Yan was just a little out of breath.

Knowing that climbing a mountain is not the same as walking.

Walking ten kilometers is not tired of climbing a kilometer of mountains. As for Wei Xiong, not to mention, with his physical fitness, this kind of mountain climbing is really not worth mentioning.

The Ouyang Yalan sisters are also very relaxed.

often repairs with Wei Xiong, and their physical fitness has long surpassed that of ordinary women.

"You see, that's the waterfall I'm talking about. The guide who explained to Ouyang Yaqing just now pointed to a galaxy flowing down in front of him.

In fact, there is no need for him to say,

The sound of the waterfall was already heard by the people in the distance.

Ouyang Yalan and the two immediately walked over quickly, like two beautiful birds full of curiosity, flying between the mountains and green waters.

"Wait a minute. ”

At this time, another guide shouted, and Ouyang Yalan reflexively stopped, and looked back at the shouting guide suspiciously.

"Look at the waterhole. ”

Only then did everyone discover that there was a big cat with golden hair and black spots squatting next to Tan -- it was the golden leopard, a national first-class protected animal.

Seeing the money leopard, Ouyang Yalan and the two hurriedly retreated.

Maybe it's a movement.

The leopard, who was drinking water, glanced in the direction of everyone, then moved his body a few times, and disappeared into the increasingly dense jungle in a blink of an eye.

"I didn't expect to find a leopard. ”

"In recent years, there have been very few leopards in Changbai Mountain, even fewer than Siberian tigers, and this leopard has been seen for the first time this year. ”

The leopard was once widely distributed in Yunnan, Jiangxi, Henan, Shaanxi and Northeast China.

But due to artificial overkilling.

The population of the leopard has declined sharply, and in just a few decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, by the early eighties, the leopard had disappeared in the entire territory of Heilongjiang Province.

Occasionally, people in Jilin Province have seen it.

According to statistics by the forestry and animal protection departments, by the end of the 80s, the wild population of leopards in the country may only be in the hundreds.

"Wow, it's a real leopard. ”

The Ouyang Yalan sisters were all amazed.

In the past, these kinds of wild animals were only seen on TV, and at most they went to the zoo, which is completely different from seeing them in the wild.

"It's okay now, let's go over. ”

"Hey, mallet. ”

This sudden shout was very loud, not only Ouyang Yalan and the others, but even Wei Xiong was taken aback, and at the same time a little inexplicable.

What a mallet this is called.

He quickly turned his head to look, and saw one of the guides crouching next to a small grass.

With an excited face, he took out things such as red threads and copper coins from his pockets.

At this time, Secretary Yan walked to Wei Xiong's side and explained: "That grass is a wild ginseng, it looks like a year, and the year should not be small......

After Secretary Yan's explanation, Wei Xiong learned more about wild ginseng.

I also learned that things such as red threads, red cloths, and copper coins are all tools for digging wild ginseng, and this set of tools has been passed down from generation to generation.

And the sound of the 'mallet' is also a custom of digging ginseng.

It means to tell the ginseng baby that you have found him and tell him not to run, just like a child who will be scared if he yells.

After you shout the mallet,

If someone nearby hears the sound and rushes over, you must be very happy to share it with the other person, this is called meeting in half, otherwise the quality of ginseng will deteriorate.

It's the first time Wei Xiong has heard that there is so much attention to digging ginseng.

For fear of breaking the roots,

The guide's movements were very gentle, using his hands, peeling off the dirt little by little, and Wei Xiong watched the whole process with relish.

After about half an hour,

A whole wild ginseng appeared in front of Wei Xiong.

Then I saw another younger guide pluck a piece of bark from a nearby tree, and then he picked some grass and wrapped the wild ginseng in grass.

Wrap it in the bark again.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to be so lucky today, this ginseng is also forty or fifty years old. The middle-aged guide who was digging ginseng said happily.

"Uncle usually makes a living by digging ginseng?"

Wei Xiong asked intentionally.

"I can't help digging ginseng and other herbs, but now it's just spring, and there are not many herbs on the mountain, so I go up the mountain to hunt some game to supplement the family. ”

Nowadays, hunting is legal in some wild reserves in the interior.

Hunters have a hunting license and a shotgun and can go up the mountain to hunt. Of course, this hunting is not unlimited, for example, protected animals cannot be hunted.

Like today's two guides, they are both hunters.

Their hunting targets include wild boars, hares, roe deer and other common game.

"I don't know if my uncle's family has wild ginseng from the previous year? At least it will be a hundred years. "Wei Xiong did not say that one of the purposes of his coming to Changbai Mountain was to find ginseng.

Because it's not necessary.

When he arrived at Changbai Mountain, he could ask the local people about this kind of thing, just like now.

"Mr. Wei is in need?"

"Well, my father is a Chinese medicine doctor. ”

"I sold all the ginseng I dug up, or I ate it myself, but our whole village has gone up to the mountain to dig ginseng, and I can help you ask. ”

"Uncle Fu, Uncle Mu's family is not ......"

"Two dogs. ”

The middle-aged guide stopped the young guide's words,

But the words were already out, and everyone present heard something.

"Tong Fu, Mr. Wei is a patriot from Hong Kong who has made great contributions to the country, and you can't hide anything. ”

Secretary Yan said with a serious face.

"This ......"

The middle-aged guide, known as Tong Fu, looked embarrassed, and seemed to have something unspeakable.

"Secretary Yan, forget it, the uncle doesn't want to say it, there should be a reason for him. Wei Xiong smiled slightly and took the initiative to help the middle-aged guide out of the siege.

"Well, today is different anyway. ”

The middle-aged guide glared fiercely at the young guide with a look of 'I was wrong', and then he told the story.

It is said that the middle-aged guides are both from a small village called Huangqi Village at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and the people living in this village are Manchus.

And it's the same surname - Tong.

This surname Tong, formerly surnamed Tong Jia, is one of the eight surnames of the Manchu people, and he is a person with a yellow flag.

Their branch was relocated from Beijing after the liberation.

At that time, the patriarch of their branch was named Tong Gui, who had been Baylor in the Qing Dynasty, and his ancestors had been county kings, so he could be regarded as a prominent background.

It's a pity that in the world of the Communist Party,

The more prominent your background, the worse you will become.

However, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and although Tong Gui was raided, he still secretly left some ancestral things.

Among them is a thousand-year-old wild ginseng.

Later, Tong Gui died, and everything including this thousand-year-old wild ginseng was passed on to his son, that is, Uncle Mu that the young guide said just now.

Formerly known as Tong Jinmu.

Because I was worried that the news of the hidden treasure would spread and cause disaster.

Tong Gui and Tong Jinmu have been keeping the matter of the thousand-year-old wild ginseng a secret, and the middle-aged guide will know that Tong Jinmu's son was drunk once.

Said it unintentionally.

Fortunately, now the nostalgia is simple, and no one has to tell the informant.

Millennial wild ginseng?

Wei Xiong's eyes lit up immediately, this is a real treasure, and it is also what he urgently needs, no matter what, he has to buy this thousand-year-old wild ginseng.

"This is a historical issue in the past, and the government will not pursue it. ”

Secretary Yan was the first to speak.

"With Secretary Yan's words, I am relieved. In this way, Uncle Mu doesn't have to worry about it all day long. Tong Fu said happily.

Since the news was spread by his son,

Tong Gui fidgeted all day long, for fear that someone from the Public Security Bureau would come to raid his house one day.

When their house was raided,

He is already in his twenties, and not only witnessed the entire process of raiding the house, but also had a conflict with the person who raided the house, and was almost killed.

After receiving such good news, Wei Xiong was in a good mood.

It seems that even the steps are much lighter.

After climbing for more than an hour, he finally arrived at the top of the mountain, standing on the edge of Tianchi, Wei Xiong's heart was lifted, and a sense of pride rose from the bottom of his heart.

I can't help but want to roar in the sky.

The magnificence and wonder of nature are beyond human comprehension.

And in the presence of nature,

Seemingly omnipotent human beings, but they seem so small.

After staying at the top of the mountain for more than half an hour, the group went down the mountain, but when they went down the mountain, they took a different road and had to return to the open space where they parked.

Need to walk half the way more.

In Tong Fu's words, the scenery of this road is much more beautiful.

This is indeed the case,

It may be that the scenery on both sides of this road is more pristine, and not only that, but there are also more animals encountered.

It's not been half an hour since I walked,

I met a few sika deer and an impala.

These are herbivores and generally do not attack people. Ouyang Yalan and the two were overjoyed when they saw the hunt, and took pictures with their cameras one after another.

"Bang. ”

"It's gunshots. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then raised their heads to look at the birds in the sky that were startled by the sound of gunfire.

"It's the sound of a shotgun, it's supposed to be someone hunting. ”

Tong Fu made a judgment.

Stopped, he looked at Secretary Yan: "Shall I go to the front and have a look?"

Secretary Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to let Tong Fu go and see it first, after all, Wei Xiong was here, and he rushed over without knowing the situation.

If something happens, it's not good.

"You two follow Tong Fu over. He nodded to the two rangers: "Be careful, if it's an illegal poacher, you are allowed to use weapons." ”

After Tong Fu and the two rangers left,

Secretary Yan smiled at Chao Weixiong and said: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Wei, in recent years, poaching in the Changbai Mountain Reserve has become more and more serious. ”

"Some of the poachers were so arrogant that they killed two rangers last year. ”

"It seems that these poachers are really lawless. ”

"Yes, the city has been preparing a crackdown on poachers recently, and it will definitely be able to effectively combat their arrogance. ”

"Bang. ”

"Bang. ”

At this moment, two more gunshots were heard, and another startled bird flew into the air.

After a while, a ranger ran back: "Secretary Yan, it's a poacher who killed a golden eagle, and now he was injured by Tong Fu." ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look. ”

After Secretary Yan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked over, and Wei Xiong followed behind.

walked almost a hundred meters,

Wei Xiong saw Tong Fu and another forest ranger. In addition, there was a man lying on the ground. But none of this is Wei Xiong's concern.

What really caught his attention was a large bird lying on the ground.

He stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the big bird was bloodied underneath its huge body, and its head was hunched and motionless, apparently dead.

"Is this the golden eagle? The eagle in the Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

Ouyang Yaqing asked with amazement and confusion.

"Pretty much. ”

Wei Xiong withdrew his gaze from the golden eagle and looked at the injured poacher.

is a man of more than thirty years,

It looks ordinary.

The wound was on the right shoulder, and it was not serious, except for the stinging blood stains on the body, but his face was a little pale. At this time, Tong Fu was bandaging him.

"You two take him to the hospital first. ”

After Tong Fu bandaged the poacher's wounds, Secretary Yan ordered two police officers.

"Yes. ”

Without any resistance, the poacher was escorted away by two police officers.

Poachers like this, many of them are nearby villagers.

Some of them have a weak sense of the law, some are forced by the pressure of life, but in general, few of them are truly vicious.

"Let's go too. ”

When such a thing happened, Secretary Yan just wanted to return to the county as soon as possible, so that his task would be completed.

"Wait a minute, there's a bird's nest up there. ”

Wei Xiong pointed to the top of a large tree next to him. Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw a huge bird's nest at the position of the branch more than ten meters above the ground.

"It should be the nest of this golden eagle, hey, it seems to have young birds. ”

Tong Fu saw a small head.

"I'll go up and have a look. The young guide, who was called Ergou by Tong Fu, volunteered, only to see him reach out and quickly grab the bulge of the tree or the branch and climb up.

After a while, they climbed to the location of the bird's nest.

"There are two small golden eagles in the nest, and it looks like they should have been born for more than a month. ”

Hearing this, Tong Fu looked at the dead golden eagle on the ground.

"This is a female eagle, and now that the female eagle has been dead for so long, it stands to reason that the male eagle should have returned, but he hasn't come back yet, maybe he is dead. ”

"If no one takes care of them, these two young birds will not survive for a few days. ”

"Secretary Yan, I have a reluctant request. ”

Wei Xiong said suddenly.

"Mr. Wei, please speak. ”

"I want to adopt these two young birds, I wonder if that's okay?"

"This ......"

Secretary Yan didn't expect Wei Xiong's so-called 'reluctant invitation' to be this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. From a legal point of view,

The golden eagle is a national first-class protected animal, and private individuals are not allowed to keep it.

But Wei Xiong's identity is there,

Regulations like this for the protection of animals are not inaccommodating within a certain scope, but this 'accommodation' cannot be said on the surface.

"In this way, these two young birds will be taken home by Tong Fu first. ”

"I'll talk about it when Mr. Wei is leaving. ”

"Just according to Secretary Yan's meaning. Hearing this, Wei Xiong smiled, although he was not a person in the officialdom, he could still understand the meaning of Secretary Yan's words.

As for why he wanted to adopt the two young birds.

The reason is very simple, just two words - like.

He also grew up reading Jin Yong's novels, and naturally has an unusual love for eagles, birds of prey that have appeared in novels several times.

This time I came to Changbai Mountain and met two golden eagle chicks who lost their parents.

It was a bonus.

After that, Tong Fu and Ergou spent half a effort, and finally took the two young birds down from the tree.

Swans are ugly ducklings before they become swans.

The golden eagle is no exception.

Under the white velvet hair, there is an ugly appearance, only the size of a woman's palm, and there is no shadow of the golden eagle's majesty and domineering at all.

"It looks so ugly. ”

Even Ouyang Yalan frowned.

"Hehe, birds are almost like this when they are young, and in two or three months, when they grow feathers, you will look good. ”

"Do you want to hire someone to raise it?"

Ouyang Yaqing asked curiously.

She speaks Mandarin, so everyone else can understand it

"The golden eagle has a strong vitality, especially since these two young birds are more than a month old, as long as they are fed some meat every day. ”

The one who answered was Ergou.

He looked nervous when he spoke, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Ouyang Yaqing. Obviously, such a beautiful woman as Ouyang Yaqing had a big impact on him.

"Ergou is basically right. ”

"But this only refers to keeping in a cage, if you want the golden eagle to fly away, you can fly back by yourself, you have to be a professional eagle trainer to do it. ”
