Chapter 299: The Bold Stinky Partridge
When Wang Gang came to Hongtuliang Village with a large number of materials raised by himself or extorted, Wang Yong had already left here and did not meet him.
This was specially requested by the uncle, and he couldn't give Wang Gang any extra help. Uncle means to make him suffer a little, not to make him always think he is very smart and self-righteous.
Of course, Wang Yong thinks that this is purely that, if you really think so, why do you still let Wang Gang come to Hongtuliang?
But Wang Yong still can't be ruthless towards this brother who is not much older than himself.
Although he did not meet Wang Gang at the strong request of his uncle, he did not prevent himself from telling the local government leaders that this was his brother, and he came here to let him get some education and change his thoughts.
Wang Yong didn't say that it was okay, but this statement immediately put the local county and township governments in town. Isn't Nima playing with people? With you, a local tyrant brother, why is he still here?
Hardship? Endure hardships and come here to be the head of the township? Then it is estimated that many people will rush to eat this bitterness! Isn't this to give yourself people nothing to do?
And some nimble minds even thought that Wang Gang was able to be appointed as the deputy head of the township in such a short period of time, which must not only be the reason for Wang Yong.
At least there is a strong backstage in the provinces and cities, and it may be the big leaders of the central departments.
You threw such a person to us, so what should we do? You also have to think about the work of the people below, don't you?
As Wang Yong said, just like the former educated youth, but who dares? With such a big guy, with these leaders in the county and township, who dares to let such a gentleman be wronged?
So when Wang Gang, accompanied by the organization director of the county party committee, came to Hongtuliang with several large truckloads of supplies, he stunned everyone at once!
It seems that it is not completely beneficial to come to our place? As Wang Yong said, if you have any financial difficulties. Can it be handed over to Township Chief Wang to solve!
Not to mention Wang Yong, who got back on the road and went to the prairie for his honeymoon, not to mention Wang Gang, who had just taken up his new post, he turned back to talk about the three little guys in the village, Wenwen, Hu Gang, and Mingming.
On this day, the three children came to the back mountain of Wang Yong's house. Because the filial Wenwen wants to pick a little more sand fruit and mail it back to her parents in the south, so that they can also taste this unique fruit in the north.
But when the three little ones came to the foot of the mountain, they hadn't reached the sand fruit tree yet. Immediately stunned by a strange-looking bird.
The bird was landing on the ground, bouncing and pecking at something under a large willow tree.
This bird is the size of a normal swallow, but the color is very beautiful. The whole body feathers, which are grayish-black tones, have some white, yellow and green hairs.
In particular, the bush on the top of the head, I don't know if it's a crown or hair, is like wearing a helmet from the ancient Roman era, standing tall and standing out, very conspicuous.
"Brother. What kind of bird is this? How strange! ”
Wenwen lowered her voice, for fear that she would scare the bird away if she was louder.
Without waiting for Ming Ming to answer, Hu Gang spoke first.
"This is a woodpecker, how long do you see its beak?"
"Yes. It's a long time! Is this what woodpeckers are like? I've never seen it! ”
Obviously, listening to the conversation between Brother Hu Gang and Sister Wenwen at this time, he didn't interject, but he frowned tightly, and they all condensed together.
It seems that something I don't understand comes to mind. Keep staring at the strange bird that keeps sticking out its head and pecking under the big willow tree.
Isn't that what woodpeckers are? Woodpeckers don't have that cockscomb, and the color is not like this! And how can a woodpecker run to the ground to eat?
"Little one, what do you think?"
I don't know when. Cao Wei came over and found that he had walked over to the three little ones, and none of them noticed. His granddaughter Wenwen was whispering something to Hu Gang, while Mingming, who was originally lively and active, was thinking about something without saying a word.
was patted on the shoulder by Cao Wei, obviously woke up from his contemplation, and when he saw that it was Grandpa Cao, his eyes immediately lit up.
Grandpa Cao is a university scholar, but he has the ability, Grandpa Cao must know what kind of bird this is.
"Grandpa Cao." The little guy lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Gang said that it was a woodpecker, but I have been watching it for a long time, except for the same big long beak, the other places are different from the wood of the pincers (the local name for woodpecker)!" ”
Cao Wei raised his eyes when he heard this, and looked at the bird with a long and pointed silky crown feather that seemed not to be afraid of people not far away, and was still walking leisurely on the ground, while lowering his head from time to time and pecking twice on the ground.
Although this thing is not very common, Cao Wei still recognized what kind of bird it was at once.
"What kind of bird do you think this is?"
"I don't know, it's not a woodpecker anyway, a woodpecker doesn't have a crown."
"Then why does it have a big mouth? Not a woodpecker or what? Hu Gang asked angrily.
Wenwen is the smartest, no matter what the two brothers say, they directly look up at Grandpa Cao with their little heads, waiting for Grandpa's answer.
"Hehe, that's right, this is indeed not a woodpecker. As you remember, this bird is called a hoopoe. We have another name called Stinky Partridge, and there is also a Stinky Mushroom. ”
"Stinky partridge?"
"Whose aunt is he?" Wenwen's cute and innocent question made Cao Wei happy all of a sudden.
"It's not that aunt, it's the aunt, the word for an ancient bird. Hey, forget it, you might as well call it a stinky mushroom! ”
Cao Wei remembered that the three little guys in front of him couldn't recognize a few words, and he couldn't explain the difference between his aunt and his aunt, so he just called it stinky mushroom, and the province had objections.
"Stinky mushrooms? Does he stink? Wenwen looked very studious with her little head up, and she was ready to start her 100,000 whys career again.
"Well, stinky mushrooms secrete a very smelly liquid. Especially when you are frightened or hurt, it will be the same as a weasel that farts, and it smells bad. So you have to stay away from it, or it will make the fragrant Wenwen stink. ”
Afraid that the children would be curious and want to catch the bird, Cao Wei deliberately exaggerated a little. It's true that this bird farts like a weasel, but it's definitely not that mysterious.
Hoopoe. Sexually vivacious, likes to open up wet ground, and uses a long mouth to turn on the ground in search of food.
They can be found in mountains, plains, wooded areas, meadows, farmlands, village edges, orchards and even rocky beaches.
Generally inhabit tree cavities, dead trees. Holes in walls, crevices in stone piles, nesting with weeds, leaves, branches, feathers, etc. The peculiar thing is that this bird is very unclean and will never clean its nest.
And the ability to fart is unique to female birds. Because the female bird's tail fat gland secretes a foul-smelling oil, the name stinky mushroom actually refers specifically to the female.
Hopoes are performed individually or in pairs. It is rare to see groups in groups.
The hoopoe is a well-known insectivorous bird, which can feed on needleworms, mole crickets, and walking insects in large quantities. longhorn beetle, earthworms, etc. It has also been seen pecking at ants and snails in the water on the ground.
However, more than 80 percent, or even close to 90 percent, of its total food is made up of pests. It can be said that it is a beneficial bird that is beneficial to humans.
Now, this kind of "stinky partridge" that has appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Ancient Roman Myths and Stories" is due to human culling and excessive logging. It's rarely seen anymore.
Especially locally, even mountainous areas such as mid-mountain villages are less common.
The origin of the name of the hoopoe is also very powerful. Just literally, it's very simple, it's wearing jewelry called "Katsu".
The Classic of Mountains and Seas. There is such a passage in the "Xishan Sutra": The Queen Mother of the West is like a human, with a leopard tail and tiger teeth and a good roar, and a hoopoe with fluffy hair.
The explanation given by the descendant Guo Pu is: win, jade wins. Later, the hoopoe was borrowed to refer to the Queen Mother of the West.
Hopoe, with a tame temperament, is not very afraid of people. And he is very conscientious about raising children, coupled with his own beauty, he has become the national bird of Israel since 2008.
"Wow! Wenwen seems to want one! ”
The little girl put her fingers in her mouth, staring at the "stinky partridge", and longed for herself to be able to raise one.
"It's simple, sister, you wait, I'll go get the guy. I'm sure you'll catch one and keep it to play. ”
Obviously patting his small chest and taking care of it, this is one of his favorite games, and Cao Wei laughed and laughed non-stop when he watched it.
Although the hoopoe is not particularly scary, it is also quite vigilant. With this small body, if you want to catch the hoopoe, it's still far away.
Of course, if it's clear that luck is against the sky, that's two things.
But after a while, Cao Wei felt that he was really underestimating, and it was clear that Wang Yong called the most thoughtful guy in the generation of Banshan Village.
Because people didn't just go to get tools, they also brought a lot of helpers. Including his own grandfather, father, uncle, and a large group of uncles, uncles, brothers, sisters, aunts, and ladies who came to see the excitement.
A large group of people rushed over at once, and many elderly villagers chattered non-stop, saying that they wanted to see the "stinky partridge" that they hadn't seen for a long time.
As a result, the "stinky partridge" that had been pecking at what it thought was a delicacy under the tree suddenly looked up.
Just when everyone thought that this stinky partridge would definitely spread its wings and run away, this surprisingly bold guy lowered his head and continued to swagger and began to peck at the delicious food on the ground.
"Wow, it likes Wenwen!"
Wenwen saw so many stinky partridges who didn't run, and immediately screamed and waved her hands and pounced. Everyone thought to themselves, this time, this stinky partridge should fly away from it.
But once again, the truth shocked people!
Everyone watched in amazement as Wenwen ran to the stinky partridge, crouched down and stretched out her hand to stroke its feathers.
The bold bird even stopped eating, squinting its eyes and enjoying it very much, "huhuhu" and letting Wenwen pet it.
"This! This! Isn't that amazing? ”
"Didn't you listen to Uncle Cao? The bird's name was Hoopoe, which in ancient times represented the Queen Mother. It's supposed to be magical, but if it's not magical, it's not right. ”
"That's a legend, okay? Who knows how much of that stuff is real? ”
"Anyway, I believe it, look at it, look at the way the bird looks like, and now I'm enjoying it very much!" (To be continued......)
