In the boundless sea of sand, dotted with clumps of trees, it is sand willow.

Clumps of sand willows inject vitality into the originally silent sea of sand. In order to survive in the water-scarce desert, Salix relies on its tenacious perseverance to take root deep in the sandy soil, up to dozens of meters, until it reaches to a place where there is a water source.

These sand willows were all planted by Cai Hongming after buying the farm, in order to block the invasion of wind and sand.

Not only Salix, but also camel thorns, sagebrushes, saxons and other plants suitable for desert growth. Every year he has to pay a lot of money for this, just to keep the yellow sand from wreaking havoc on the desert.

The sandgrouse emerges from the sand and flies away. When it reached its speed, it suddenly spread its wings, like a glider, and flew flat on the sand, quickly burrowing into the farm fence and swooping into the trough where the livestock were fed. Looking at its movements, it is elegant and calm, as if dancing a beautiful waltz.

When it arrives at the trough, the sand pheasant buries its head and eats it violently, regardless of the large animals such as yaks and ostriches around it, and is not afraid that they will come to bite it, peck it, and top it.

It eats, dances, and screams, and seems to be singing.

"Ahh

I came to a beautiful place, by the trough on the farm

The food in the trough is hearty, sweet and delicious

Dear youth, you are my forever"

(The above is a song that I changed randomly, you can try to imagine it with the Kiev waltz in Russia, it's very funny.) ）

Cai Hongming didn't care when he saw the sand grouse flying into the farm. Now is not a good time to catch the sandgrouse, at this time the sandgrouse is still hungry, the body is light, and the flying speed is fast. You can't catch it at all. It is easy to catch it until it is well fed, has a big belly, does not run fast, and does not fly so neatly.

Therefore, he took the telescope and still looked at the sandgrouse quietly.

But. He didn't move at all, but quietly moved his body forward, and then buried the whole person in the sand, and when the sand chicken came out, he just caught it.

Waiting is often a very painful thing. But time does not stand still, and the sun is gradually setting in the west.

The sand grouse, who had eaten and drank in the trough in the sea, finally had his fill, cocked his buttocks, shook off his feathers, and flapped his wings and left. There is quite a "quietly I go, just as I came quietly; I waved my sleeves and didn't take a cloud with me. "That feeling of light clouds and light breeze.

The sand grouse is a very alert animal, even if it is full and does not walk fast, it is also a probe to probe the brain, listen attentively, and look vigilant.

But no matter how vigilant it was, it didn't expect that there was a filthy person buried in the sand at this time. A covetous gaze came to it.

Here it comes.

The sandgrouse looked around, step by step out of the farm fence.

The more this time. Cai Hongming didn't dare to move, held his breath, and waited slowly. Near, near, near. At this moment, Cai Hongming suddenly launched. Leaping up from the sand, he quickly pounced on the sandgrouse. The sand grouse was so frightened that it jumped up from the ground and flapped its wings to fly, but unfortunately it was too full, and it only flew a few meters before falling to the ground again. was caught by Cai Hongming, who rushed over.

"Little one, look at you still running."

Cai Hongming said viciously to the sand chicken.

Suddenly, he noticed that there was also movement next to him, and when he looked closely, it was clearly a sand grouse. And not one or two, but five or six. This is only what he can see with his eyes, what if he doesn't find it? These guys dare to treat his farm as their own restaurant. Eat when you want, leave when you want, and don't pay yet, how is it possible? How do you have to leave a little interest. Thinking about it, he chased after the nearest sandgrouse.

Sand grouses are social animals and tend to live together in groups. So it's not surprising that Cai Hongming has seen so much.

Although this sandgrouse has a chicken name, it is actually about the same size as a pigeon, and it looks very similar.

The sand chicken that Cai Hongming chased was not like the one he grabbed in his hand, he couldn't fly when he ate it, but he flew fast. But after all, he had just eaten enough and had not yet fully digested it, so after flying a distance, he was caught by Cai Hongming, who was chasing. Looking at a sand chicken in one hand, Cai Hongming smiled, and the dinner was finally over.

Sand grouse is also a bird with economic value, so there are people raising it now.

It's just that the taste of the raised things is not so pure after all, and Cai Hongming is also rare to eat once, so he plans to make a delicious dish tonight

In the mountains behind the Western Capital Shengjing, a group of people are speeding towards their destination.

Qingyun knocked on her legs and Xiaoman's waist as she walked, and asked Liu Chong, who was offering courtesy next to her, "Have you arrived?" ”

"Come on, just climb over this mountain."

Qingyun listened to it beautifully, your father's, just said that he would arrive after crossing this mountain, but he has already crossed two mountains, okay?

Liu Zhong didn't dare to look at her, but just buried his head and walked forward.

At this time, Qingyun remembered a joke told by a government official who went to walk around the mountains below, "Once I went to a house in the mountains as a guest, and in the evening the family said that there was a village next door that was performing a play during the festival, and asked me if I wanted to go to see it together." I thought, since I'm here, I'm going to take a look and learn about the entertainment life of the people. So I went to the theater with that family. But after walking for half an hour, after climbing a hillside, I realized that something was wrong, there was not even a sound here, it looked like a mountain village.

So, I asked curiously: Fellow, where is the village you are talking about?

The fellow replied: It's next door, and the past is here.

I thought to myself, anyway, it's almost there, so I'll hold on for a little longer, and I won't know that I have climbed three more mountains to get there. Later, I learned that there were few people on their side, and although it was next door, the village was far away, at least a dozen kilometers away. That's not all, I went to find out that the play was specially moved to the ghost in the village in July, and it was performed all night, and after that time, I was so scared that I never dared to spend the night in the countryside again. ”

Qingyun thought of this, and said in her heart that she would not be so unlucky, and she would also encounter something like what the official said! It is said to be next door, but in fact, it is far away.

Luckily, things weren't what she thought they were, and after crossing the mountain, they did get there.

It is a curved canyon carved by the mountains and rivers when it rains in spring, and there are high mountains on the left and right, and the steep slopes and slightly flat places on the side of the mountains are covered with grass, and the yellow sheep graze on the grass.

When they arrived at the place, they did not enter the canyon, but just lay on the hillside and watched from afar. Qingyun saw that the nearby scenery was good, so she picked up her camera to take a picture, but was stopped by Liu Chong. Yellow sheep are the most sensitive, if they find a flashing light, they will definitely run, then they can run for nothing.

Qingyun glared at him angrily, but still put the camera away.

When they came, they had a plan, and when they arrived at the place, some of them fled along the slopes of the mountain to the front of the canyon, while those who remained walked towards the mouth of the valley.

When they came, they had already seen clearly that there were only thirty or forty of these yellow sheep, and since Hachiko said that they were delicious, they didn't plan to let them go, but wanted to catch them all. Some are kept to eat, some are kept and raised, and they will multiply in the future, and they can eat as much as they want, so they don't have to work so hard to catch it. (To be continued......)
