Li Suyun saw that Jiang Jianlong's expression was a little weird, and he opened the topic and said, "Let's find something to eat now, I'm hungry again." ”

After Jiang Jianlong heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go fishing." ”

After Jiang Jianlong finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the cabin, came to the island to find some bird eggs, and then returned to the shore, using yesterday's fishing method, broke the bird eggs, and then emptied the egg liquid, let the egg liquid float on the sea surface near the coast, and quietly placed a simple net made by himself under the sea surface of the floating egg liquid, in order to lure the arrival of the sea fish, once the sea fish were attracted by the egg liquid floating above the sea, it would instantly fall into the trap made by Jiang Jianlong, and then there would be a dream to catch turtles, Maybe there will be a lot of surprises.

But today Jiang Jianlong's luck seems to be a little worse, he arranged the trap according to yesterday's way, and broke several bird eggs as bait and fell on the coast, but he waited for half an hour, and there were no big sea fish approaching, except for some small shrimp and pencil as small fish, nothing else was found, and as the wind and waves on the sea became bigger and bigger, the egg liquid he poured on the sea surface was gradually blown away by the sea breeze, and finally swept into the sea by the waves, disappearing in his eyes.

Didn't catch a big sea fish, and lost several bird eggs, which made his mood collapse to the extreme, and at this time, the cold and hungry Li Suyun couldn't help but walk out of the cabin and came to Jiang Jianlong, she saw Jiang Jianlong, who had found nothing, and asked, "Still haven't caught the fish?" ”

When Jiang Jianlong heard this, he nodded in frustration.

At this time, Jiang Jianlong saw a big bird suddenly appear on the shore not far away, this big bird is a bit like a duck in shape, it limps walking on the reef side of the coast, and after a while, it jumps into the sea again, swimming like a duck, Jiang Jianlong saw the big bird, he couldn't help but make up his mind about the big bird, he said to Li Suyun beside him: "The big bird is like a wild duck, catch it, and our food will be down today." ”

Li Suyun was very skeptical about this: "Can you catch it?" ”

Jiang Jianlong himself knew that it was not easy, but he still wanted to give it a try. After thinking seriously for a while, a plan suddenly came to his mind, he first put the net he made upside down on a reef, and he stood on the reef and deliberately fiddled with a few bird eggs in his hand, so that the big bird could see, when he successfully attracted the attention of the big bird and kept staring at him, he then put the bird egg in his hand on the reef next to the net, and he slowly walked away, he wanted to take advantage of the curiosity of the big bird, waiting for the big bird to get close to the reef to see the eggs, He was next to him to cover the big bird with a net, but unfortunately, the big bird's curiosity was not strong, Jiang Jianlong and Li Suyun had been hiding not far from the reef where a few bird eggs were placed, waiting for the big bird to throw himself into the net, but the big bird seemed to have guessed Jiang Jianlong's trick, he kept looking in the direction where Jiang Jianlong and Li Suyun were, but he was slow to come up to the reef where Jiang Jianlong placed a few bird eggs.

After a few minutes, when Jiang Jianlong kept looking at the big bird, the big bird suddenly turned over, plunged into the sea all of a sudden, and disappeared in front of Jiang Jianlong's eyes. After Jiang Jianlong saw it, he said to Li Suyun beside him in surprise: "Have you seen it, that big bird can not only swim, but also dive." ”

Li Suyun said: "It should be a kind of water bird, he dives in the sea to catch fish and eat. ”

Jiang Jianlong couldn't help but say: "This is too powerful, not only can fly, walk, but also swim and dive in the water, sea, land and air amphibians." ”

Li Suyun speculated: "Could it be a cormorant?" ”

Jiang Jianlong thought about it, and felt the same, he said: "If it's a cormorant, if we can catch it, we won't have to worry about running out of fish to eat in the future." ”

Li Suyun said: "You also said that it is an amphibian on land, sea and air, how can it be caught?" ”

Just when the two people were talking, the big bird suddenly came out of the sea again, its long pointed mouth still held a big fish, slowly swam to the shore, although the big fish in its mouth was desperately struggling, but the big bird's experience was sophisticated, the fish was tightly clamped with the upper and lower beaks, and there was no sign of loosening, when it clamped the fish to the shore, Li Suyun found that the feathers of the big bird were all wet, although it was constantly agitating its wings, but it felt like it couldn't fly. Li Suyun reminded Jiang Jianlong on the side at this time: "Did you find it, the feathers of that big bird are all wet, and it doesn't seem to be able to fly." ”

After Jiang Jianlong heard this, he also realized this, he tentatively picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it to the big bird on the shore, but the pebble fell next to the big bird, but the big bird did not fly, but ran clumsilyly on the coast, maybe the center of gravity was unstable, it accidentally fell to the ground for a while, and the fish in the mouth also fell on the beach on the coast, Jiang Jianlong saw this, and understood in his heart that the big bird could not fly after its feathers were wet, he seized this favorable opportunity and rushed to the place where the big bird fell. The big bird saw someone rushing towards it, it panicked and fanned its wings, but it didn't fly high or far, one was not careful, and flew to the broken boat where Jiang Jianlong and Li Suyun had been living, Jiang Jianlong saw this, seized the powerful opportunity, and quickly ran to the side of the boat, and forced the big bird into the cabin, once the big bird entered the cabin, it was self-throwing, catching turtles in the urn, Jiang Jianlong walked into the cabin, he immediately grabbed its two wings, and then pressed it, and the big bird was miraculously caught by Jiang Jianlong.

Jiang Jianlong took a closer look at the big bird that was caught, and found that it was about 80 centimeters long, with a narrow and conical beak, grooves on both sides of the upper beak, and a small sac in the lower beak. The iris is emerald green, the eyes are orange-yellow, the cheeks and upper throat are white, forming a semi-annular shape, and the posterior margin is slightly tan.

According to this, Jiang Jianlong has affirmed that this is a cormorant. He remembered that Shen Kuo, a Song man, had already described this animal, and he wrote in "Mengxi Pen Talk? "Art and Literature III" wrote: "The Shu people who live near the water all raise cormorants, tie their necks with ropes, and make them fish, and the fish are put forward upside down, so far."

The poet Du Fu wrote a poem in "Drama Hai Harmonic Dismissal".

also wrote: "It's strange to be vulgar, and it's difficult for people to live together." Every family raises black ghosts and eats yellow croaker at a time. ”

Jiang Jianlong was a little overjoyed that he could catch this cormorant, but at the same time, he was entangled in his heart, whether to keep it to fish, or kill it immediately, and fill his stomach first. How to deal with it has become an annoyance for him.
