Everyone had fun together, and time flew by. In the afternoon, some people organized to dig bamboo shoots, and others continued to stay on it to play, but most of them wanted to go inside the bamboo sea to have a look, and by the way, they could also work.

Chu Jiaqiang led everyone down to Zhuyun Village below, said hello to the villagers, asked for some farm tools, and everyone walked towards the bamboo forest with hoes and snakeskin bags.

Those villagers are good at reminding them that they must pay attention to safety, and the most important thing is to prevent green bamboo snakes, which are very deadly. He finally simply said, "So be it! I'll ask my family to take you inside. The inside is too big, and those who are not familiar with it may get lost, so be careful not to go too deep, although there are not many bamboo shoots now, they can also be found on the periphery. ”

Chu Jiaqiang nodded: "Then thank you so much." We won't go too deep, after all, time doesn't allow for it right now. Well! It's not early, let's go early and come back early. ”

After speaking, Chu Jiaqiang and the others said goodbye to the villagers, and a large group of people walked inside.

Because everyone had experience digging bamboo shoots before, it was not too difficult this time, and many people knew how to find them. Zhou Furong, Jackton and others didn't do serious things, they walked around, and looking at their appearance, they knew that they wanted to find bamboo rats.

"You guys be careful! Children should not run around, and adults should watch their children. Chu Jiaqiang shouted.

Li Quan suggested that everyone be divided into groups, so that it is safe and efficient to find them. That's a good suggestion, so many people are divided into four groups. Zhou Furong's group of unprofessional guys specializes in digging rat holes.

Not far apart. The people in Chu Jiaqiang's group heard a sharp and bright chirp in the distance.

"Uncle Chu, what kind of bird call is this?" Little Bud ran over and asked.

Chu Jiaqiang immediately remembered an animal that grew in a bamboo forest. He whispered, "That's a bamboo chicken, go." Let's take a look. Try to keep your voice quiet. If you guessed correctly, they are fighting. ”

For Chu Jiaqiang's assertion, everyone felt very novel, and it was actually deduced that the bamboo chicken was going to fight. In addition, they are also very curious, there are actually bamboo chickens. I used to hear a lot about pheasants.

So everyone followed Chu Jiaqiang sneakily towards the source of the sound, and soon saw a flock of birds. They were hugging each other, and the two of their kind in the middle were biting.

These birds are seen to be colorful and colorful, with black beaks or nearly brown. The forehead and eyebrow lines are gray, the top of the head and the back of the neck are tender olive brown with small white spots, the chest is gray and semi-annular, the anterior part of the lower body is chestnut brown, gradually turning brownish-yellow, the ribs are black-brown spots, and the tarsal feet and toes are yellowish-brown.

"Is this a bamboo chicken? How is it so small? A tourist asked. He estimated that the largest of these should weigh less than a pound.

Chu Jiaqiang smiled: "Bamboo chickens are also called bamboo quails." How big can it be? It mainly inhabits mountains, plains, shrubs, bamboo forests and grasses. The bird's plumage is brightly colored. It is an ornamental bird endemic to China and a common species in the south. Male birds are aggressive by nature and are often domesticated as fighting birds for viewing. ”

Bamboo chickens are good at chirping, and their cries are sharp and loud, especially during the breeding season. The bird enters the breeding period in March every year, when it changes from social habitat to scattered activities, and the male bamboo chicken has a unique occupation behavior, in its territory. No other kind of people were allowed to invade, so there were often fights. Spawn in April ~ May, nest on the ground of dense shrubs, grasses and bamboo forests, and spread leaves, hay and other things.

As he spoke, the victory and defeat of the two bamboo chickens had been divided, and one of them was already dying.

"Since this is a common bird, it should be very abundant, so it's okay for us to catch some and go back, right?" Someone asked.

"There are indeed many such animals, like hares, they cannot be destroyed, and they can be caught at will. It's just that there are no tools, how to catch it? Empty-handed? It's better to talk about it in the evening. Chu Jiaqiang smiled slightly. Bamboo chickens are very common in the south, and they are generally found in bamboo forests. Coupled with their terrifying reproductive ability, they will not become extinct as long as they are not specially dispatched to kill them.

"Do you catch them at night when they sleep?" Xu Bimei also heard that birds are very dead when they sleep. When they sleep, you go and catch them, they may not wake up.

"What's even more interesting is that they will stand on the branches at night, line up, and sleep next to each other, which makes it easier to catch." Chu Jiaqiang said.

Just when Chu Jiaqiang and the others were whispering, a more vigilant bamboo chicken found it and hissed a few times in horror, and then flew away desperately. The other bamboo chickens also flew in a hurry, and some even flew towards this side in a panic, but halfway through the way, they saw the situation clearly and quickly turned a corner in the air.

"These birds are so stupid!" Xiao Yezi said in an old-fashioned manner.

The bamboo chicken that fell to the ground also wanted to struggle and fly away, but the injury was a little serious, and he staggered a few steps, and then fell to the ground again, but he couldn't fly.

Ye Qijun walked over and picked up the bamboo chicken. It's a pity that there is only one, it's not big, and it's too little for one person to eat.

"Make a phone call and let that kid from Li Quan direct that goshawk of his to catch some." Miao Huo suggested. Although it is easy to catch at night, everyone has to go back at night, and it doesn't seem to be very safe at night, especially in this quiet bamboo forest, which always makes people's hearts hairy, reminding of the ghost movies they have seen before, the scene is so similar.

He didn't let the Chu family force the snow sculpture to be dispatched, after all, it was overkill, and he used a knife to kill chickens?

As soon as he finished speaking, someone called Li Quan. Li Quan and Zhou Furong are in a group, and they don't know where they are now, but fortunately, there is still a signal on the mobile phone here. In fact, communication is so developed now, unless it is really that kind of uninhabited place, there will generally be a signal.

Li Quan and the others, who received the news, learned that there was such a thing as a bamboo chicken, and they immediately separated their spirits, and even the bamboo chicken was worried about it. Several gringos also carried the canes sent in the village, and followed Zhou Furong and others to run through the bamboo forest. If this scene were transmitted back to foreign countries, their relatives and friends would probably not be in disbelief!

And at this time, the lion of Miao Huo ran back with a bamboo chicken in his mouth. Just now, when the bamboo chicken ran away in a panic, the lion rushed out as soon as possible.

"Brother! Just remember to bring our big dog with us too. Ye Xiaoshuang said enviously.

"Hmmm! Bring it next time. This bamboo sea is so big, there will definitely be a chance to come over in the future. Ye Qijun comforted.

The little episode of the bamboo chicken passed like this, and everyone continued with the unfinished work. Laughter and laughter along the way, the sound gently echoes in the bamboo sea, making people feel that they are in a world outside the world, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, which is fascinating.
