024 Chapter 24 What is it? Greatly!

After walking more than ten meters, the moon walking in front suddenly stopped, "shhhhh

A brown she-bird with a pattern on her neck, looking for something in the grass, the size of a baby hen. The reason why Wang Xiaoyu could recognize it as a mother bird was because that bird was a partridge that he was familiar with. The male has a large red crown, while the female has a small, slightly dark red crown, which is easily recognizable. This kind of partridge was found in their hometown when they were young, in every mountain, and when the breeding season came, the mountains were full of the sound of partridges courting, and it sounded very interesting, it was called: "What? Greatly! ”。

When he was a child, Wang Xiaoyu once asked her grandmother why the partridge was "what?" Greatly! "Is that what you call it? Grandma said that it was the male partridge reminding the opposite sex not to be playful, and it was the season to give birth. Grandma also told him a story: In ancient times, partridge mothers were very dissatisfied with the male partridge's style of giving birth to babies and refusing to take them. When the breeding season arrives in the next year, they will hide collectively and refuse to meet the male partridges, so that the partridges will become fewer and fewer, and if they continue like this, they will become extinct. So the male partridges chose the most handsome partridge guy to go to the village to ask the erudite teacher, and the old man said to the partridge boy, when you go back, tell the partridge mother: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", and the partridge mothers will agree to take the baby. "Hmm

The partridge boy flew back to the mountain after being taught, but he didn't know if the old man's method was working, so he decided to try it himself. It stood on the rock, singing loudly, and the mother partridge watched it quietly from behind the grass, wanting to see what it had to say. Who knew that the partridge guy was handsome, but his memory was not very good. At the critical moment, he forgot the words, and shouted at the top of his voice: "What's the matter? Greatly? "What has it forgotten about itself?

The mother partridges were curious, and they came out of the grass and asked, "What is the matter?" Greatly? Then the whole valley rang out with partridges, "What is the matter?" Greatly? Voice. How many years have passed, and the partridges still haven't figured out what is going on? During the breeding season, they ask, "What's the matter?" Greatly? They have multiplied from generation to generation.

However, there is a fatal flaw in the living habits of partridges, that is, every time they go out to forage for food, they take the same road, which is particularly obvious in the grass. Greatly? Voice.

Unexpectedly, now seeing the partridge that has disappeared for more than ten years in a foreign country, Wang Xiaoyu and the two are not excited, they both stand quietly aside, watching the mother partridge hunting, and they can't bear to disturb it.

In the grass, a grasshopper thicker than a thumb flew, and was no more than three feet above the ground, when the partridge pounced on it and grabbed it, but instead of eating it immediately, it took it in its mouth, fluttered its wings, and flew to the top of the mountain. It flew very low, almost grazing the treetops.

Seeing the partridge go away, the moon smiled and said, "There must be a nest of birds at home, bring the grasshopper back to the baby bird to eat." ”

Wang Xiaoyu sighed: "Yes, I thought the partridges were extinct, I haven't heard their calls for more than ten years, but I didn't expect that there are still here, their environmental protection is better than in China?" ”

As he was talking, there was a violent fluttering sound from the direction where the partridge flew away, and when he looked at it, the treetops dozens of meters away were shaking, as if something was struggling desperately.

"Not good!" Wang Xiaoyu said: "It must be as if the partridge was caught in a net just now."

The moon said, "It's a bit like, but this is someone else's territory, don't meddle in other people's affairs, so as not to get burned." ”

Wang Xiaoyu looked left and right, but there was no one. Standing on tiptoe and looking in the direction of fluttering, I saw that on the hill more than 50 meters away, a yellow bamboo was shaking violently at the top of a pine tree, and I could faintly see the rope tied to the bamboo pole, but I couldn't see what hit the net.

Wang Xiaoyu put his backpack on the ground and said to the moon: "Brother, you wait for me, there is no one around here, I'll go and put the birds down, soon." ”

The moon said: "Go quickly, I know that you have a lot of trouble, hurry up, it is almost dark, or you will not be able to get a motorcycle to spend the night in this mountain." ”

Wang Xiaoyu killed many partridges when he was a child, and the Hakka people have an old saying: "Turtle dove partridge, civet pig". We are talking about four kinds of top-notch mountain spirits, turtle doves and partridges that can fly, and civet cats and wild boars (small wild boars) that run on the ground. These four kinds of game are first-class in the Hakka area, so these things are almost extinct in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong.

Seeing the partridge that has been extinct in his hometown for more than ten years, Wang Xiaoyu feels that it is really more expensive than the giant panda in his heart, after all, the giant panda is too far away, and there is no kindness to these partridges that accompany him day and night, so he can't help but rescue the mother partridge.

He hurried into the woods, parted the grass, and trotted up to the hill to the pine tree with the bamboo tied to it. Sure enough, I saw the partridge with the grasshopper in its mouth struggling in the net, and the grasshopper was gone, and it was dancing its wings desperately, but the net cable was wrapping its wings tighter and tighter, and some feathers fell down the tree one after another. It desperately drilled forward again, but unfortunately the hole in the membrane mesh was very small, and it barely squeezed its head through, but it was tightly stuck on its neck. The partridge was even more panicked now, and the two sharp claws pulled the net cable and pulled it out, but the membrane net became tighter and tighter, and the neck was tightened, and the partridge rolled its eyes and opened its mouth wide, and a bright red tongue like carrot silk stretched out from the old man, and it looked like it was about to die.

Wang Xiaoyu didn't dare to slack off, climbed the branches at the waist of the pine tree with his hands and feet, hung the branches with one hand, leaned out half of his body, and held the partridge on the membrane net. He had been chased several hills because he took the villagers' membrane nets, and learned a lesson, but this time he didn't dare to break other people's nets casually, so he had to untie the membrane nets little by little, and it took five or six minutes to rescue the bird.

Although the partridge was about to hold its breath, as soon as the network cable was loosened slightly, it regained its strength, struggled violently, and scratched Wang Xiaoyu's right wrist, and three lines of blood immediately flowed out of the wrist. Wang Xiaoyu was in pain, and the hand that grabbed the bird involuntarily let go, and the partridge took the opportunity to go forward, gliding diagonally and flying to the ground, plunging into the grass, and disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Wang Xiaoyu was angry, when he was a child, he didn't know how many partridges he killed and he didn't get hurt, but today he was bleeding by it when he was kind enough to save it, this little one has no conscience!

The medical tape and bandages were still in the duffel bag beside the moon, and Wang Xiaoyu hurriedly went down the tree to disinfect and stop the bleeding. Stepping on a fork of a tree below, I turned around and looked at the road they had come from in a car at the foot of the mountain, which was only separated by a forest about 300 meters.

At this time, two military vehicles were parked on the road, and not far in front of the military vehicles, about 30 soldiers were trotting forward in two teams.

Wang Xiaoyu felt strange, why do you want to run if you don't sit in a car? He found that there was a common person leading the way in front of him, and he took a closer look, wasn't the person leading the way the minibus driver? I can't help but wonder, what is this bus driver doing with a team of soldiers? Look at the soldiers, well, the uniforms are the same as the soldiers he met that night when he set fire to the mountain at the docks, the soldiers of the Wolf Legion! Wang Xiaoyu was shocked, could it be that these soldiers were here to arrest him and the moon?

Soon, the bus driver and the soldiers ran to the fork in the road, and stepped on the mountain road to rush this way. Wang Xiaoyu was sure that the visitor was not good, so he hurriedly jumped down from the branch, and while running towards the moon, he lowered his voice and called him: "Brother, quickly take your luggage and go into the woods!" ”

Wang Xiaoyu shouted loudly, the moon couldn't hear clearly, and when he saw Wang Xiaoyu coming down, he naturally picked up his backpack and walked forward. Wang Xiaoyu is in a hurry, the moon turns a small mountain mouth seven or eight meters ahead, and the people under the mountain can see the moon. The two of them would definitely not be able to escape the search and arrest of more than 30 soldiers in this unfamiliar place. The moon was still walking slowly towards the little hill, unaware that danger had come. Wang Xiaoyu didn't dare to shout, and if he was louder, he would be heard by the people under the mountain, which might attract more people to surround this small mountain bag. He only ran and desperately gestured to the moon, but the moon looked down at the mountain road and went forward, without even looking at him, and it was only two or three meters away from the small mountain mouth.

At this critical moment, a big bird suddenly sprang out of the grass on the side of the mountain road, flapping its wings and flying behind the mountain, the moon was startled by it, stunned on the ground, looked behind the mountain, and vaguely recognized that the bird was the partridge that had caught the grasshopper just now.

Just stopped like this, and naturally looked back to see if Wang Xiaoyu had followed, but saw that Wang Xiaoyu had already run to the side of the mountain road, and was sweating profusely and calling him over. The moon asked blankly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Shhhh Don't make a sound" Wang Xiaoyu lowered his voice and ran over, pulled up the moon and turned around to run.

The moon asked puzzled as she ran, "Isn't it going down the mountain?" How do you run back? ”

Wang Xiaoyu said breathlessly: "It's a big trouble, there is a team of soldiers under the mountain to arrest us!" ”

Moon asked strangely, "Why did you arrest us?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Have you forgotten the fire you put on the dock? ”

The moon suddenly remembered that it was illegal to burn a mountain, not to mention anything else. Although it was a last resort to set fire to the mountain that night, the propaganda slogans that could be seen everywhere in my hometown: "Whoever burns the mountain will be punished!" But it has been deeply seared into everyone's mind, and I can't help but speed up my pace when I think of this.

Soon ran back to the place where General Dai Anlan sacrificed, and the moon held on to the big tree and said breathlessly: "TMD, if General Dai Anlan is still here, we won't be treated like a dog!" ”

At this time, in this situation, I can't help but think: "But make the dragon city fly, don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain!" "The poem. Isn't General Dai Anlan beside him the same General Fei who resisted foreign invasion?

But where does Wang Xiaoyu have time to sigh? Quickly looked left and right, and the way down the mountain they ran to, more than 30 soldiers were surrounding, and they couldn't walk. Go forward along this path and turn behind the mountain, and I don't know if there are ambushes behind the mountain, but the pursuers behind don't see anyone, and they will definitely chase down the mountain road, the danger is too great.

Running to the top of the mountain? He shuddered when he thought of Ma Tan being surrounded by Zhang He on Jieting Mountain. In case the pursuers can't find anyone, won't they surround the mountains and search for them? The two of them will become the 2nd and 3rd horses!

Looking down the hill on the left, a big river is mighty, the river is wide, and there is not a single boat in sight. The reeds on the shore are not connected in the east and west, and it is not good for Tibetans, what should I do?
