Chapter 260: Spotted Deer
"I don't know, in the past, due to excessive hunting, the spotted deer has not appeared in the mountains for 30 years, there have been many conservation groups to explore the mountains, but there are no finds, so it is concluded that the spotted deer has become extinct, but they have not come to this barren rock area to investigate, I don't know, besides, the terrain here is so complicated, there are deer hidden in the caves, they may not be able to find it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Brother Chen analyzed seriously, his tone was cheerful, and his excited look was written on his face.
"There are several passages in the valley here, which direction do you think we should go?" Yunli was also infected by his emotions, if there were really spotted deer surviving, it would be a great blessing for both the manor and the society, there were several artificially excavated mines in front, and his divine sense could not detect too far away, so he asked Brother Chen.
"Spotted deer like to find a spacious and clean place to live, and there will always be a clean water source nearby, and we should find it if we follow the stream." Brother Chen pointed to the small stream on the side of the valley and said.
I don't know where the stream came from, and I don't know where it will go, but the general direction is in the westernmost passage, so the three of them continue to set off, Yunli with extraordinary spiritual sense, even if the stream is hidden in some places in the rock formation, he can't escape his detection, and takes them up the stream, through another mountain, to a cliff area.
The stream flows out here, converging at the bottom to form a small pool, this valley is even more hidden than the one just now, and there are many shrubs growing below, like a small jungle growing in a stone pile, which is very rare, and many places at the bottom of the cliff are hollow, and there must be other caves in it.
"We're on the wrong path, that's the way to live, there are steps to go down, but there doesn't seem to be any living creatures down there, and it shouldn't be difficult to find if there are spotted deer." Yunli pointed to the direction of the right-hand side and said to the two, they are here at a broken point, more than ten meters high from the bottom of the valley, ordinary people can't climb down with their bare hands, the stream flows down along the stone wall, there is almost no sound, and the surroundings are unusually quiet.
No matter what, their exploration footsteps will not stop, the three of them turned back to the right-hand side of the passage to descend, the only step down is naturally formed, is a rock wall belt, the narrowest place is not as wide as a person, and a short slope has several places are hollowed, fortunately, the spacing is not large, even at the age of Brother Chen, it is not much difficult to jump over.
The three of them searched the bottom of the valley and found that there were two more passages, one leading through the adjacent mountain area, and the other leading to a small meadow in the valley.
"Don't go any further, the spotted deer are very alert, and they will be disturbed if they go over again, this time it is really not in vain, I can't imagine that I will see them again in my lifetime." Looking at the scene in the distance, Brother Chen tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and reminded the two.
"Why are there only two small ones, they seem to be asleep, and the others must have gone out to find food." Xu Rui also said excitedly that it was the first time he had seen a real spotted deer, but the two in front of him were far from what he imagined.
Two small spotted deer slept on the grass side by side, not aware that someone was spying on them secretly, except for some obvious gray-white spots on their bodies, they are not much different from ordinary sika deer, small heads, strong limbs, due to the age of the little deer antlers have not yet emerged, two big ears stand upright, very pleasing.
"Looking at the environment here, it is estimated that this surviving deer herd is not large, let's go back to the original passage and wait to see how many spotted deer there are in this group before making plans." Yunli was also very excited, he had long wanted to raise a group of sika deer in the manor, and now he actually met the rumored extinct spotted deer, which was a good thing to send to the door.
The three of them immediately turned back to the original cliff mouth, where they could overlook the situation of the entire valley, and they could immediately detect any movement, Brother Chen was still excited, and asked Yunli: "Boy, what are you going to do with this matter, if the news of the existence of the spotted deer spreads, not only in Linshan County, I am afraid that the entire southwest will focus its attention here." ”
"I'm not going to release the news, at least not at this stage, our estate has the ability to protect them, and when it stabilizes, we will consider explaining it to the public." Yun Li thought for a while before replying, he didn't expect this situation to occur, and he couldn't think of a good solution for a while.
"Well, this doesn't seem to be very good, it seems to be said on TV that it is illegal to hunt and raise rare species privately, if it spreads, will it cause trouble?" Xu Rui sat on the ground and said timidly.
"If you don't say it, no one will know, and I remember that when the spotted deer became extinct, it was not included in the list of rare and protected animals, where are we privately raised, and when the deer herd is raised, it will not be too late to announce it when the time comes, otherwise it will be known that there are still spotted deer here, and it will not be far from extinction." Brother Chen sternly admonished Xu Rui, so frightened that he nodded straight, looking like a student being reprimanded.
"That's right, just like wild ducks, we have the ability to protect them ourselves, so we don't need outsiders to interfere, Banlu Mountain is our territory, and the spotted deer here are naturally also our assets, this principle can work everywhere." Although Yun Li hasn't figured out how to deal with this matter yet, he will never hand over the spotted deer, this is for sure.
"As far as the three of us know, it's not easy to block the news, first kill Xu Xiaozi, and then the two of us will make a blood alliance, this news will definitely be sealed, what do you think?" Brother Chen suddenly changed his tone, and said in a serious voice, as soon as these words came out, Xu Rui jumped up in fright.
"It coincides with my thoughts, the less one person knows, the more protection this secret is, a rare species like the spotted deer, just take one out for auction, it's not easy to exchange for a million or hundreds of thousands, the value of this is really hard to estimate, it's much better than farming and raising shrimp." Yun Li also smiled maliciously, the two looked at each other and nodded, and then both looked at Xu Rui.
Even Yunli said the same, Xu Rui was at a loss for what to do, leaned against the wall and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, are you joking, I don't know yet, I will never tell the second person about this, I swear that I will keep it secret, otherwise I will not die well when the sky thunders." ”
In the face of this oath, the two were indifferent, still looking at themselves with cold eyes, Xu Rui hurriedly added: "I still have some savings, and I have more than 20,000 yuan that I have not been willing to spend... I won't say it if I'm killed, I don't see anything! The kid was halfway through his words, and found that this amount of money was not attractive to Yun Li at all, so he changed to another way.
"There is so much private money, I have been a teacher for so many years, and now the money in the account plus the decimal point does not have five digits, you kid is a good mix, saving so much money is to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law, have you found a suitable eye?" Hearing that he was rich, Brother Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I want to build a house, but I don't get married so fast, I'm not even eighteen years old, although there are a lot of people here who are not old enough to get a marriage certificate first, some are younger than me, and the baby has two, but I... My family doesn't agree either, anyway..."When Xu Rui was talking nonsense, he found that Yunli and Brother Chen had already paid attention to other places, and his first reaction was to escape, but as soon as he took a step, he felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it calmly, he realized that he was bluffed by the two, and he was ashamed and annoyed, so he had no choice but to stretch his head to look at the movement outside.
On the stairs leading to the bottom of the valley, there are several spotted deer walking down in a row, except for a pair of towering antlers, the gray and white spots on their bodies are more obvious, their appearance is not much different from the two small spotted deer they saw before, their bodies are not too big, smaller than the sika deer that Yunli has seen before, but the movements are very sensitive, this rugged path is very smooth, it seems that they have long been accustomed to the terrain here.
"It's only five adults, it's too few, it seems that this is the only remaining herd of spotted deer, which is much worse than the situation of the wild ducks in the beginning." No matter how you count, there is only one palm, Brother Chen couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
Yunli shook his head at him and said, "There should still be, let's continue to watch." "The five adult spotted deer descended to the bottom of the valley and went straight into the passage, and it seemed that the little meadow was their resting place, and it was a long distance from here, and as long as they did not shout, the herd would not notice that they were watching.
Sure enough, after a while, another group of adult spotted deer came to the valley down the stairs, this group of six, also directly into the passage, they should be a group, and then they waited for a long time, but none of the spotted deer came back, but the group of spotted deer occasionally came out of the waterhole to drink.
"It seems that these are the only remaining spotted deer, plus the small ones are only thirteen, at most it is a group of small deer, it is not difficult to catch them and send them back to the manor to raise, but the temperament of the spotted deer is very wild, not suitable for captivity at all, someone tried many years ago without success, what are you going to do?" After waiting for a long time, it was estimated that there would be no other spotted deer, so Brother Chen withdrew his gaze and turned his head to Yunli and asked.
"It's impossible to catch and raise, let's provide them with enough food first, there is enough food, plus an undisturbed environment, it shouldn't be difficult for them to reproduce, as for how to deal with it in the future, it depends on the situation." Yunli replied.
Brother Chen nodded: "The reason why they chose to nest here is probably because they are afraid of being hunted, so they will choose such a hidden place to hide, and only this kind of place can give them a sense of security, but if there are survivors, there should be a presence of spotted deer in Banlu Mountain, which can be regarded as the real Banlu Mountain." ”
