The two brothers slowly paddled along the water to the depths of the reed pond, and the deeper they went, the clearer the lake became, the color became darker and darker, and the reeds became larger and larger. Originally, there were a few waterfowl's nests in the dense reeds on the periphery just now, and Zhou Hu was fortunate to row over to see if there were any bird eggs to pick up, but when he saw the three or two small eggs in the nest, even Zhou Hu, a top foodie, couldn't bear to take them.

But the depths of the reed pond are different, it may be that the reeds here have not been picked and destroyed for decades, and they grow unusually thick. Huge nests were built in the middle of the reeds, and all the waterfowl in the nests where the brothers passed flew out of their nests, neighing and circling in the air, and making a sound resistance to the intruders.

The brothers are really a little dazed now, they haven't seen so many waterfowl since they were young! When I was a child, when I picked zongzi leaves, I was afraid of danger, so I generally picked some on the periphery of the reed pond. As for these water birds, they are really not the same thing for the villagers of Zhoujia Village, because with such a good natural environment in Zhoujia Village, can there be fewer kinds of birds?

"Brother Ergou, look at how fat those gray geese grow, look at how that gray goose grows, it can be seven or eight catties, the taste is simply outstanding, even if you think about it, your mouth is salivaing."

If it weren't for the depths of the reed pond, Zhou Yu would have kicked this greedy guy down at this time, and hummed in his mouth: "Three donkeys, don't worry about eating, let's learn some law first, this gray goose is a national protected animal, if you kid eat, be careful to squat on the fence." ”

Zhou Hu pursed his lips disdainfully, "Pull it down, where is the place near Taiping Town that you don't eat?" It's just that the people in our village pay attention to this, but it's really a pity to eat such a beautiful waterfowl.

By the way, Brother Ergou, you can't stop me from looking for wild duck eggs if this gray goose is not allowed to eat, that thing is not a protected animal, not to mention that the thing in the reed pond is in groups and groups, and they come to the crops in our village to steal food and eat at every turn, and your pheasant ridge is in trouble, maybe there are also these guys. ”

Zhou Yu nodded, and there was a little excitement in his heart. To say that this wild duck is the most abundant water bird in this reed pond, every summer will lay countless wild duck eggs, if the villagers want to taste something new, they will come to the reed pond to find some back to fry and eat, but like their brothers rowed a raft into the reed pond to find wild duck eggs to eat, it is probably the first time.

Thinking about the delicious duck eggs, the two brothers suddenly felt full of strength, and struggled to find the wild duck eggs, completely deviating from the original intention of coming to the reed pond to make dumpling leaves.

The two brothers rowed across a body of water, and saw that there were bird's nests in the middle of the reeds in front of them, and the size of the bird's nest was eight or nine or ten, and it should be a wild duck's nest.

The two of them got up from the raft and looked at the situation in the bird's nest, and sure enough, there were more than a dozen light green wild duck eggs piled up in the bird's nest, these wild duck eggs were only one size smaller than the eggs, and the surface was extremely smooth, and even reflected the dazzling sunlight.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't do it excitedly, it seemed that this time they had found the nest of the wild duck flock, but in line with the principle of fishing without drying up, the two of them only took a third of the amount in each nest, even so, when the two left here, the small back basket behind Zhou Hu was almost full.

After the bumper harvest, the two of them finally remembered the purpose of coming to the reed pond this time, so they put some wide reed leaves around, and when Zhou Yu's small back basket was full, the two of them planned to go back.

The two of them rowed slowly back along the same road on the raft, and because they were happy, they enjoyed the boundless scenery of the long reed pond while paddling. Since the return trip was going against the current, Zhou Yu didn't dare to be too distracted, but Zhou Hu didn't think about it so much, anyway, there was a second dog brother staring at himself and he had to hurry up and appreciate it, and he didn't know when he would come next time.

In this way, Zhou Yu paddled the raft with his head down, occasionally raising his head to look at the surrounding scenery, while Zhou Hu kept looking around, occasionally looking up at the blue sky.

"Brother Ergou, look at what it is? What's that? Coldly, Zhou Hu let out a scream, so frightened that Zhou Yu almost fell into the water.

The designation that could make Zhou Hu scream like this was not an ordinary thing, so Zhou Yu didn't have time to think about it at this time and hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhou Hu's finger.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, above the emerald green gauze tent, two white and elegant big birds are dancing, sometimes slowly beating their wings to chase each other, and sometimes crossing their necks to play and play affectionately. That graceful dance makes people forget their troubles, forget everything, and only leave the flawless figure in their hearts. This dance infects all living beings, and even the surrounding waterfowl forget to play and stop to linger on the reeds......

Swans, these are two whooper swans, and their noble elegance makes people can't help but say their names at first sight.

These two whooper swans were not far from the positions of the two, so Zhou Hu begged: "Brother Ergou, why don't we row over and have a look?" I haven't seen a swan since I'm so old, but this time I'm alive, and it's really exciting. It's still a little far away, though. ”

Zhou Yu didn't stop him this time, he was lucky, he was lucky to meet such an elegant and noble whooper swan, if he didn't take a closer look, it would really be in vain. So the two of them slammed again, and gradually approached the underside of the two whooper swans.

The two of them looked in the direction of the whooper swan and found that behind a few wilting reeds, a huge yellow and green bird's nest suddenly appeared, nearly two meters high and more than one meter thick in diameter.

The brothers rubbed their eyes, unable to believe it was real. After glancing at each other, it seems that they can hear each other's heartbeats. It's not going to be a swan nest, is it? But how can it be so big? Swan nest, how many people in the world have seen the swan nest with their own eyes?

The two of them were short of breath, their hands trembled, and they rowed crookedly towards the swan nest, using the mountain knife in Zhou's hand to pluck the broken reeds on the water surface, and gently approached the giant nest.

The two of them sneaked up on the giant nest, = at this time, Zhou Yu carefully looked at the environment around the giant nest. The swan nest was found to be in an excellent location, which is the densest place for reeds in the reed pond, and at the same time the deepest water, where two swans nest, which is convenient for foraging and bathing nearby, and more convenient for concealment. If it weren't for the whim of the two of them, if it weren't for the two whooper swans, it would be difficult for anyone to find and approach this giant nest.

Zhou Yu then discovered more advantages of the giant swan nest, it stands at the top of the reeds, ventilated, cool and dry, with a wide field of vision, you can enjoy the cover of the green gauze tent of the young reeds around you, and you can stay away from the rancid smell of the dead leaves of the old reeds under the reeds. In the middle of summer, you can also avoid the bites of mosquitoes in the reeds and the sneak attack of water snakes. If a whooper swan is born out of its shell, it can see blue sky and white clouds as soon as it opens its eyes.

Especially when the autumn is cool, before the swans fly south, they will disappear in the fluffy reeds. No matter how far the swans fly, can they forget their beautiful and romantic homeland?

The breeze blows, the reeds that fill the lake sway gently with the wind, and thousands of reeds bend down and bow their heads. But the giant swan nest is still immovable, it looks down on the vast reed pond, and exudes the same noble and elegant taste as the whooper swan.

The two brothers put the back basket behind them on the raft, and Zhou Hu stood up like a thief and pushed the giant nest with both hands, but the giant nest only shook slightly.

The brothers are speechless, is this a bird's nest or a bunker? Because the water was clear, the two of them looked into the water a few times, and it turned out that although this giant nest grew in the water, its roots were intertwined like ancient trees, and they were deeply rooted in the bottom of the lake.

Both of them know that the mature reed stalks are absolutely capricious and bamboo, and they are particularly corrosion-resistant, and the rural people in this area of Taiping Town all use reeds as targets to build houses, which can definitely withstand the wind and rain of 180 years and the erosion of time.
