Time is like flowing water, quietly and silently slipping away around people, making people feel no sense at all. Suddenly, people realized that deep winter had come into their lives like this.

The air is getting cooler and colder, and people have to wear sweaters in the morning and evening to withstand the colder weather. The wild chrysanthemums that bloom all over the mountains seem to have felt the chill of winter and are beginning to become more delicate.

Unlike other flowers, the colder the weather, the more charming these wild chrysanthemums shine. After a misty frost and mist, the colorful wild chrysanthemums on the mountain are still blooming beautifully. Of course, with the passage of time, these wild chrysanthemums will also wither in a short period of time after experiencing their last glory, and they will be crushed into mud and dust!

This is the true meaning of life, the glory and glory are in nature, calm and beautiful!

Other plants on the mountain are also the most direct response to the cold winter air, and some deciduous tree species are beginning to wear yellow winter clothes. The north wind blows, and the fallen leaves are like butterflies flying, dancing in the mountains and fields, creating a romantic color.

In the small green mountains, there is no longer the situation of green as the main tone in the past, but it has become a gorgeous oil painting with a variety of colors coexisting. The green pine waves, the yellow leaves, the dazzling flowers, the faint white clouds and the blue sky, everything is so refreshing.

At this time, the insects, which have been noisy all summer, are the most clever, and they seem to have disappeared without a trace overnight. Even the toads and mountain frogs that used to make noise in the past have entered their wintering burrows and never showed their faces again. At night, the Liu family's compound could no longer hear the chirpings one after another, and the night of the entire compound became quiet.

At this time, people realized that the sound that they had always thought was noise would feel so wonderful after it disappeared.

The change in the weather is like a couple who have broken up with an iron heart, and there is no going back. No matter how sad people are, the pace of deep winter is still approaching people's lives, bringing everyone's emotions into cold emotions.

Often in this mood, it is a good time for those literati and writers to be sad and sad, and there will always be many sentimental poems that will be born in such a season.

But for the villagers of Liang Village, the arrival of deep winter is just a little colder, and their lives are still going on, and there are still restaurant buyers in the vegetable fields who come to buy vegetables. During this period of time, the planting scale of vegetables in Liangcun has gone up, and it has also formed a relatively good group advantage. Even with the Tongjiang River, Liangcun's vegetable fields have become an important destination for many vegetable vendors and restaurants to order fresh vegetables.

Now every morning, people can see tricycles or minivans crossing the Tongjiang River by ferry, coming to Liangcun, and then transporting vegetables from the vegetable fields to the county seat. The villagers who went first tasted the sweetness of growing and selling vegetables, and their motivation became more and more sufficient; Seeing this, those villagers who did not grow vegetables also gained a lot of confidence and joined the ranks of planting vegetables.

The deep winter in Liangcun is not as depressed as in the north, and people can still see green trees and flowers here, as well as warm sun. It's just that the weather gets cooler in the morning and evening, and the sun becomes gentler. Even in winter, Liangcun is located in the tropics, which is at most similar to autumn in the north, where the climate is still warm and life is still blooming!

The slight change in the weather did not bring much change to the people living in Liang Village, and life is still as peaceful and quiet as before.

Of course, the arrival of migratory birds has made some changes in Liangcun.

Migratory birds dragged their families and mouths, starting from the distant northern lakes, and finally came to this warm spring-like landscape after going through a lot of hardships. Here, they will spend a winter without food and clothing, and then they will fly north to inhabit and breed in spring. For these migratory birds, there is not only a warm climate, plenty of food, but also a lot of old friends.

Animals are quite intelligent, some of the migratory birds that have wintered many times in Liangcun and Xiaojing Lake are some old and mature migratory birds, they have experienced vicissitudes of life, and they have long been able to distinguish whether humans have bad intentions for them. During the wintering at Xiaojing Lake, the migratory birds are not only protected from the frenzied poaching frenzy, but sometimes even get help from the villagers.

The strong contrast makes the migratory birds have more feelings for Xiaojing Lake and Liang Village, which is why migratory birds have gradually regarded Xiaojing Lake as their hometown.

As soon as it entered the middle of December, the villagers of Liang Village suddenly discovered that the barren beach and reeds that originally looked inconspicuous seemed to have become a paradise for migratory birds overnight. Migratory birds of different plumage colors and species chirp at the water's edge and begin to build their nests, where they will spend a long winter.

The closer the time is to the Spring Festival, the weather is getting colder and colder, but such a temperature is nothing for the migratory birds living in the Xiaojing Lake area. After experiencing a large-scale migration of migratory birds, coupled with the migratory birds that arrived at Xiaojing Lake sporadically, there are now at least more than 20,000 large and small migratory birds around Xiaojing Lake, which has become the most beautiful scenery in Xiaojing Lake in winter.

Around Liang Village, there are two small streams that meander from the Xiaoqing Mountains, and with the flowing water of the Xiaotong River, the three streams converge at Xiaojing Lake and then flow eastward. Even in the dry winter, the three streams can bring abundant water, which makes Liang Village a little more beautiful.

Meandering streams, ponds, and huge lakes form a dense network of water, which provides an excellent habitat for migratory birds from afar. Around these waters, there are also a large number of dense reeds and aquatic plants, which make the timid migratory birds live here more comfortably.

Every morning, the villagers living in Liang Village can hear the song of Qingyue birds coming from the lake, and when the weather is good, they can also see the graceful figures of migratory birds flying under the golden sunshine.

However, the villagers of Liang Village are accustomed to seeing these migratory birds, and they are not strange.

However, for Yu Shanwei and others, shooting and observing migratory birds on the edge of Xiaojing Lake brought them more and more surprises! The number and quality of these migratory birds in front of him are amazing, and in Yu Shanwei's impression, there are few such concentrated habitats for migratory birds in China.

Xiaojing Lake is not in the middle of those inaccessible barren mountains and mountains, although it is a bit remote, but the appearance of such a large flock of migratory birds near Liang Village, which has been connected to roads and electric lights and telephones, is really a bit unexpected by Yu Shanwei. With such a discovery, this strengthened the idea of Yu Shanwei and others to declare the Xiaoqingshan and Xiaojinghu areas as national nature reserves.

Not to mention the rare national first-class and second-class protected animals and plants in the depths of Xiaoqing Mountain, these migratory birds that winter over and inhabit Xiaojing Lake every winter constitute an important element of a national nature reserve.

Because of his long-term investigation and research on wild creatures, Yu Shanwei has also come into contact with many enthusiasts who are keen on wild exploration and animal and plant viewing, and knows how attractive Xiaojing Lake is to those people?

For bird-watching enthusiasts, the annual bird-watching season is like a grand festival, and it is worth the drive to travel hundreds or even thousands of miles when they are on vacation. Perhaps for them, their usual work and life have already made their nerves tense, and if there is no suitable channel to relieve them, they will one day be on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, they chose to see all kinds of beautiful flora and fauna among the green mountains and green waters, and their minds were released in the calm, harmonious and charming nature. Perhaps under such a pure sky, they can find a pure land in their hearts. For them, every trip to the wilderness will be a process of purifying their souls, and perhaps with such sustenance, their lives can be better.

However, if you want to see migratory birds up close, you need to go deep into the mountains and old forests to have a chance to see them. After all, in recent years, the acceleration of urbanization and the intensification of industrial pollution have made some lakes and forests close to cities no longer suitable for migratory birds.

Development and pollution have long been a sharp contradiction in human society, almost irreconcilable!

Every time a bird-watching enthusiast wants to watch birds, they have to travel long distances to those inaccessible areas to see a large number of migratory birds, but modern people are used to pampering, and it is really a bit difficult for them to stay in the deserted mountains and old forests for a while.

In the mountains, eating is not eating, sleeping is not sleeping, even if they have a considerable enthusiasm for migratory birds, they can't stand it for a long time. Therefore, every time you go into the mountains to watch birds, for many people, it is an unforgettable experience of pain and happiness.

If you can observe migratory birds in a place where you can eat, drink and sleep comfortably, it is simply the top enjoyment for these birdwatching enthusiasts!

Now, Yu Shanwei has found that there are a large number of migratory birds living in Xiaojing Lake close to Liang Village, and if such advantageous conditions can be developed, it is enough to make Xiaojing Lake a bird-watching resort!

There is arguably a large flock of migratory birds at Little Mirror Lake, and visitors can observe them up close, rather than peeking through telescopes as before. Here, eating, drinking, and living are much better than in the deep mountains and old forests, which should make tourists feel that bird watching is no longer a painful thing, but a journey worth enjoying.

Combining various factors, Yu Shanwei feels that Xiaojing Lake has the potential to become a tourist attraction, but if it wants to develop, it will only be possible to achieve it with the full cooperation of all parties.

Today's Liang Village, with roads and various modern facilities, has the most basic conditions for receiving guests. Of course, the backward Liangcun village does not yet have a hostel, hotel and other service enterprises, and there is still a long way to go in order to receive guests.

After coming to Liang Village for scientific research, Yu Shanwei was very moved by the warm and simple villagers, and subconsciously began to think about the villagers of Liang Village. What he has seen and heard in the past few months has made Yu Shanwei very aware of the psychology of Liang Village eagerly looking forward to getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. Even if they are a little poor, but in the simple environmental protection tradition of the village, the villagers still did not raise the butcher's knife to the large number of migratory birds perched on the shore of Xiaojing Lake, and this insistence moved Yu Shanwei and others.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace!

This old saying shows how important food and clothing are for a person or a group.

Yu Shanwei knows that with the continuous development of social economy, people's demand for material life will be higher and higher, which is the law of social development, and there is no right or wrong. But if Liang Village has been in such a poor and backward state, Yu Shanwei does not dare to guarantee that after the power of the old people in the village weakens, will the young people still be able to adhere to the simple concept of nature conservation?

Yu Shanwei was worried that in a few years, when the tide of money swept in, the people of Liangcun could no longer resist the temptation of money, and began to raise their butcher knives against the rare wild animals of Xiaojing Lake and Xiaoqingshan!

It's better to be blocked!

Rather than letting the villagers of Liangcun struggle with these migratory birds and rare wild animals in a closed and backward state, it is precisely because of this that Yu Shanwei plans to take advantage of the opportunity of a large number of migratory birds to inhabit and overwinter in Xiaojing Lake, publicize Xiaojing Lake and Liangcun to the outside world, attract bird-watching enthusiasts to come to bird watching, and promote the development of tourism in Liangcun. As a researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yu Shanwei, who has traveled all over the protected areas of the motherland and has also been to foreign countries, although he is not a professional tourism economy, but he also has his own views on the future development.

Liangcun is blessed with unique natural conditions and a relatively rich historical and cultural heritage on Qingyun Old Street, which has the potential to develop into a resort for leisure and wild adventure. In the past two years, because of the Golden Week, coupled with the state's support for the tourism industry, the tourism industry has shown a vigorous development trend. With the establishment of the reserve and the boom of tourism development, Liangcun should be able to quickly develop its own brand and become a beautiful mountain village that is fascinating!

However, it is related to the future development of Liang Village, and Yu Shanwei understands that even if he has a very good starting point, he can't take everything over and do it for him! At most, Yu Shanwei put forward his own suggestions and made some introductions according to some developments at home and abroad, but specific things still need to be handled and operated by the people of Liangcun.

After thinking about it, Yu Shanwei still felt that there was no one to discuss in the entire Liang Village except for Wang Huaguo, Wang Jun and Liu Rui, maybe there were, but Yu Shanwei didn't understand.

After the Liangcun Village Committee found Wang Huaguo and Wang Jun, Yu Shanwei originally called Liu Rui to come down the mountain to discuss the matter, but Wang Huaguo said that he hadn't gone to Liu's house for a long time to take a look, and took this opportunity to take a look at the new wine shop and the high-profile tomato field.

Seeing that Wang Huaguo said so, Yu Shanwei and Wang Jun naturally had no opinion, and nodded in agreement.

It's ten o'clock in the morning, and the warm winter day hangs in the sky like a stove, and the golden sun shines on the earth. While bathing in the warm sunshine, Wang Huaguo and his entourage enjoyed the scenery of winter and slowly walked towards the Liu family compound.

The rice fields on both sides of the road can no longer see the golden and brilliant appearance of the rice ears before, after being ploughed by people, only a piece of soil is left here, and a piece of hoarfrost is covered on it, which is under the action of the sun, quickly evaporating, and it is about to disappear from people's sight.

Flocks of sparrows could be seen flying in the sky from time to time, and they would appear in the wilderness and then fly away in a hula-la-la. It was the sparrows foraging, and the birds that could not store food had to toiled around in the winter, hoping to find something to wrap their bellies.

However, fortunately, even if the winter in the south is good, there will be no heavy snow covering the mountains, and these sparrows will not starve to death as long as they work hard.

The warm winter sun shines through the treetops, and the mountain breeze blowing from the lake does not look too cool. The sound of the waves is mixed with the sound of high-pitched birdsong, which is the migratory birds frolicking and foraging on the surface of the lake.

The quacking ducks are the most unpleasant but the most noticeable, the sound of the swans seems to be able to travel through time and space to bring people's thoughts to the best atmosphere, and the voices of the herons are a little sharp and long, just like their slow movements.

Looking down from the mountain, the originally turquoise surface of the lake is now covered with white, gray, and black figures, which have now become the protagonists of Xiaojing Lake. After flying thousands of miles from the bitter cold north to Liangcun, the warm climate, abundant food, and safe environment soon made these elves in the world like this place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

Standing on the dam of Liujiayuan and seeing such a moving scene of Xiaojing Lake, thinking of the information revealed and the prospects depicted by Yu Shanwei in his speech just now, Wang Huaguo and Wang Jun glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that it was indeed very reasonable.

In the past, Wang Huaguo and others have been accustomed to migratory birds as a part of life, but they have never understood from another perspective that these migratory birds have greater value! If it weren't for Yu Shanwei's reminder, I'm afraid it would have taken them a few more years to discover the changes these migratory birds would bring to the whole of Liang Village.

However, the discovery now gives Liang Village more time to prepare for the changes brought about by these migratory birds!
