Chapter 43: Wanru!
Chapter 43: Wanru!
The deer were probably thirsty, and under Lan Lan's guidance, they all drank water around the stone trough. At this time, Lao Li squeezed into the crowd and said, "It's really a sika deer." Good. Don't run. Look at my magic weapon. ”
He made a sound as he threw two white bricks on the ground. They are used by cattle and sheep to lick bricks to replenish salt and various minerals. Herbivores cannot eat from plants, so they should be fed some coarse salt regularly. Take sika deer, for example. When living in the wild, they also like to lick salt pits, etc.
In contrast, licking bricks tastes better. The herd of deer also knew what was good and what was bad, and immediately swarmed and scrambled to bark.
"Lao Li, you can't beat the bricks, it's amazing!" The old king raised his big finger. Then I saw that Xiaobai, who was riding on the back of a sika deer, was pushed down by other sika deer. In the confusion, the sika deer stepped on two hooves and limped towards this side.
Lao Chu has something to say this time. He twisted his goatee and said, "Don't listen to the old man, you will suffer before your eyes." ”
Surrounded by a herd of sika deer, villagers north of the Yangtze River came to the meadow to the west of the village. Although it's autumn, the water and grass are still beautiful. Deer also love to explore new worlds. They began to have a good time on the grass. After the speed was increased, Lao Wang couldn't do without it.
It's done - Wang Erxiao saw this grassland and felt completely cold. Although sika deer prefer to live in forests, they also prefer open grasslands with no natural predators. This grassland is so good that the attraction to deer can be imagined.
You know, in winter, the mountains are covered with heavy snow, and animal food is extremely scarce. This grassland is almost waist-deep and cannot be covered by heavy snow, which undoubtedly provides enough food for the deer. What's the matter, you said sika deer like to eat grass. Please, it's beautiful to have hay in winter. Don't you see those yellow sheep? They have never moved a nest since they came here.
"Uncle, let's go back and tell the people in the county!" Wang Suoju was also a little drooling. Although he was a bit chunky, he also knew that with the strength of their uncle and nephew, he would not be able to lead the deer back.
Wang Erxiao also sighed, then glared at his disheartened nephew, and quietly set foot on the way home. If this nephew doesn't speak too loudly, maybe things will get better. Now, only the county can take the lead in the tree farm.
After settling down the deer, the king stayed in the meadow and helped the women collect the grass seeds. This is the busiest season in Jiangbei: men go down to the fields to harvest crops, and women wear aprons, sleeves on their arms, and gloves on their hands. Each person carries a large basket of earth, and a dozen people form a group to collect grass seeds.
Jiangbei contracted millions of acres of pasture. Currently, less than a tenth of grassland is planted. Instead of spending money on grass seeds, you can do it yourself. Moreover, where are the grass seeds, dare they say they can surpass here?
Women are also better suited for this job. They don't need to bend over at all. Once they are gone, they just need to gently pull the grass seeds in their hands and toss them into the earthen basket. After filling the basket, he emptied the basket into the bag and finally pulled the basket back.
Various grass seeds are mixed together, so when planted in the second year, the simplicity of grassland vegetation is also avoided. If you switch to another place, you have to harvest the grass directly with the lawn mower. Whether you're using it for your own use or selling it for money, that's a huge income. However, from the perspective of maintaining the grassland, Lao Wang still did not do this.
Rural women work together. They are often noisy and noisy. Especially after seeing Lao Wang and them, they were more energetic. Before Lao Wang could speak, an old lady quarreled: "Come here, come here, help my sister-in-law!" ”
"Are there any rewards?" Lao Wang said, but did not dare to go there.
The old lady smiled heartily: "Of course sister-in-law can feed you, you are still a child, and sister-in-law will take care of you today." ”
It's too hard - Lao Wang can't help but be afraid. These old women are not jealous of meat and vegetables. It's really annoying.
It is said that if you are weak, he will be strong. At first glance, the old king rat is fascinated, and those old ladies will be even more reckless. Some of them come up with evil intentions. It seems that they are really ready to kill him.
Childhood memories surge. It seems that once everyone worked together, and they quarreled together during the break. They didn't make a lot of bets. As a result, Guan Yunpeng, who had just been married for a few years, asked a group of old ladies to pick up all the money. Do you think it's powerful?
Thinking of this, Lao Wang couldn't help but tremble, and said, "I still have something to do", and was about to leave. Yang Rui's loud singing voice came from behind him: "The big girl is beautiful, the big girl is beautiful, the big girl has entered the green gauze tent-Lang Ailang, where are you hiding, I am really worried-"
Where to run? The first lady shouted, seeing her put her hand on a patch of tiger tail grass and splash the grass seeds all over the sky: "Short man, you can't escape today." Let's check your body for Nana-sensei first, so that you don't have any problems. Rest assured, my sister-in-law's technique is good and I'm sure you can get rid of it! ”
What are these women? They are a pack of she-wolves! Lao Wang ran away. If he doesn't run, Guan Yun is his forerunner. It is difficult to understand that the uncle was strongly stimulated that time, which led to childlessness.
Cao Dianzi staged a big drama of encirclement and interception. The power of women is infinite, and the key is to hold up half the sky. This is Lao Wang. If you replace it with someone else, you can't escape the encirclement of dozens of old women.
Seeing Lao Wang running all the way to the west, these old ladies went back to work. The vignette just now is considered entertainment. The only regret is that the flirting did not work out.
As soon as Lao Wang walked two or three miles, he found that there was no one behind him. Then he stopped. His heart was still pounding. He was scared: I was a boy who had been guarding me for more than 20 years. I could barely keep my body. These women are too fierce.
I was in a bit of a rush just now, so I just sat on the ground and caught my breath. At this time, I suddenly heard a rustling sound from the grass in front of me, and Lao Wang looked at me and couldn't help but wonder: "Whose tiger is here?" ”
Four or five meters in front of him, through the sparse grass, you can see a blue-gray cheetah with two ears pricked up, and a pair of eyes looking at Lao Wang. I don't know what's going on. These eyes made Lao Wang feel a little cold.
Take a closer look. The tiger's face is narrow and long, and its yellow scorched eyes flash out, making people shudder. Lao Wang stood up and said, "Wolf, ah, wolf—"
Wolves and tigers are easy to tell. Although they are similar in appearance, their eyes are very different.
Lao Wang's voice was a little loud. Soon, Yang Rui's signature song came from afar: "Lang Erlang, where are you going to hide?" It really makes me nervous! "Look at that position. Are you ready to compete with Lao Wang?
However, at this time, Lao Wang did not have this mind. His muscles tensed and his spirit became even more tense. Although he is now able to compete with the blind bear, he does not dare to slack off in the face of the steppe wolf.
The wolf was putting too much pressure on him. In addition, the best characteristic of steppe wolves is that they are often found in packs. A good tiger can't catch a wolf.
The steppe wolf is a lap larger than Little Black. It was clearly aware of the threat that Lao Wang posed to it. In an instant, it was ready. The most terrifying thing is that the nose is slightly wrinkled, revealing sharp canine teeth, bulging wrinkles, and vertical triangular eyes, which makes Lao Wang's careful liver flutter.
A man and a wolf confront each other in this way. Lao Wang listened to Lao Li's words, at this time, he must not show any signs of weakness, otherwise, the evil wolf would not hesitate to jump down. The more you are at this time, the more courageous you will be to look at it and send the signal of "I'm not afraid of you" in the past.
After more than a minute, the steppe wolf's head shook a little, and then quickly disappeared into the grass. Apparently, it was not sure if it would win the next battle, so it chose to retreat.
The scary thing about wolves is that they can even chase their prey for tens of kilometers. At the same time, he is also one of the most intelligent hunters and never fights unprepared. The encounter was clearly an accident and was not part of his plan.
"You're so smart!" Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said a cruel word. In fact, he knew best that his vest might be soaked in cold sweat.
However, his eyes were much better. Although the wolf quickly retreated, the king found that it was limping on its hind legs. It was clearly injured.
Don't know if it was injured by a human or bitten by a fellow human? Lao Wang listened to Lao Li's story about the wolf. Generally, there is only one wolf king in a wolf pack. Its status is extremely high. When eating, it is always the king of wolves who have finished eating, then the other strong male wolves, and finally the she-wolves and the old, weak, sick and disabled members. The hierarchy is extremely strict.
In the wolf pack, there will also be other male wolves who constantly challenge the position of the wolf king. If you win, you can replace it. If you lose, you can only leave the pack and become a lone wolf, wandering around. This steppe wolf could be such a loser, so he will be alone.
The wolf is coming, but we are not ready. After the nervousness, Lao Wang regained consciousness. For the steppe wolves who stand at the top of the grassland food chain, Lao Wang has always had mixed emotions. On the one hand, we hope that there will be wolves on the grasslands, because the steppe wolves are the only criteria for testing the grassland ecosystem; On the other hand, he felt that he had come a little early, because Meadow's ecosystem was still very fragile and he was afraid that he would not be able to tolerate a predator like the steppe wolf.
I hope it's a lone wolf—Wang shook his head, turned and walked back. If this is the only one, then the problem is not serious. After all, there are a lot of rats in this meadow. After a summer of rearing, the number of rabbits has also increased to several dozen. They are both ideal foods.
What, wolves eat mice? This is not surprising. Like yellow sheep and sika deer, wolves are unlikely to catch them. In the diet of the steppenwolf, rats make up the largest proportion.
For the grasslands, the role of wolves is extremely huge. Without wolves, other animals would be overbred without natural predators; In addition, there is no threat of wolves. Their lives are too easy and there is a lack of competition, which is also very bad for the population.
Take yellow sheep as an example, why do they run so fast and have not been driven out by the wolves?
After walking a few miles, I met Yang Rui face to face. He was still moaning for "Lang Ai Lang". Lao Wang couldn't help but smack his lips: "Sing, sing, finally, you brought the wolf!" ”
Just as I was saying this, I heard someone shouting into the blisters in the distance: "Swans, swans, we finally have swans in Jiangbei." ”
The voice was Li Jie, and Lao Wang's eyes lit up. He forgot about the steppenwolf for a moment and ran to Grizzly Bubbles.
Due to the season, it is time for migratory birds to fly south. These birds travel thousands of miles, and of course they can't fly to their destination all at once. They also need to rest and replenish food during the journey. From the sky, the water on the side of Grizzly Bear Bubbles and Wild Duck Lake is not small, and the water and grass are abundant, so these passers-by are attracted to stop here.
Lao Wang actually welcomed this situation, which proves that their ecological environment has been greatly improved. His ambition is even greater: if these migratory birds stay comfortably here, they may fly here next spring to settle here. I remember when I was a child, the waterfowl were a group of people in the Seven Star Bubble area.
Lao Wang was full of longing and ran to Erpaozi, a place called Wild Duck Lake. As far as the eye could see, Lao Wang was also stunned by the magnificent scene in front of him: flocks of waterfowl cruising around the lake to feed, some with long legs filtering food in the shallow water, some diving on the surface of the lake, some flying and hovering in the air, and all kinds of crooked chirping and chirping all gathered together. Very noisy. Currently, Wild Duck Lake has become a paradise for birds.
"Alas, there are too many—" The old ladies who came here also marveled.
Lao Wang patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Good, good, it proves that our attraction is not small!" ”
When he saw his figure, Li Jie rushed over, but his old face was not as excited and excited as Lao Wang, but a little sad: "Yang Xu, there are too many birds, and the fish in our bubble are afraid of losing a lot!" ”
Lao Wang looked at it a few times, and then thought about it: these guys are all eaten for nothing!
There are always two sides to the story. There are a lot of waterfowl, they are very pleasing to the eye, but they have to eat and drink. Thousands of waterfowl, even if you stay here for a week, will consume the most.
However, none of these waterfowl could come, and of course they could not be driven out. So, Lao Wang took advantage of the pain in his flesh and walked to the water's edge.
A group of people gathered there for a long time. Lan Lannana and they were all there, as well as Wang Bei and Lin Mei, who came here as guests, and their phones were almost out of battery.
"Ah, look, this waterfowl is really beautiful, that one is really ugly!" I heard Sister Lin's voice from a distance, and I didn't know what her aesthetic was. A beautiful egret must say that it is too ugly to wear a tassel on its head.
As he approached, Lao Wang also looked more carefully, and gradually felt that his eyes were not enough. In the swamp, a few red-crowned cranes walked leisurely with long legs and cloaks, some of which were fairy-like. It is no wonder that in myths and legends, this bird is very popular with the gods and is called "crane".
There are many wading birds like red-crowned cranes. In Li Jie's words, there are three special advantages: a particularly long mouth, a particularly long neck, and a particularly long legs.
However, apart from the typical characteristics of red-crowned cranes and egrets, Lao Wang could not name them. In this regard, he is on the same level as Sister Lin.
Luckily, there's a well-informed Li Kit here. He is not only an expert on fish, but also has a research on waterbirds. But his names are mostly local, such as the long-necked old man and the red-footed seedling.
These wading birds filter their food at a distance of 10 meters from people. They are not afraid of people. I don't know if it's because they're brave or because Lan Lan is here.
"What about the swans? What about swans? "Lao Wang's favorite is still swans. Of course, black swans are also good.
"The toad wants to eat swan meat—" Wang Bei muttered, then looked in Mina's direction. Nana and Lan Lan tease a flock of grey water birds and throw the small fish that Li Jie fished out to them. It should also be a crane, but not as graceful as a red-crowned crane. It should be a gray crane. Their technology is really good. With their long beaks, they can directly intercept small fish thrown in the air and swallow them, and some of them also use their long beaks to grab food directly in Lan Lan's small hands. In fact, this crane is very alert and timid, but now it can be so close to humans.
In other words, Lao Wang and the children saw this group of gray cranes on the way to collect plant specimens. When flying and migrating, they are also often arranged in a zigzag or V-shape.
Wang Bei was a little confused. Why would a girl like Mina fall in love with that fat man? When she thought of this, her heart would also be inexplicably filled with a bitterness.
"A swan is a bird that can swim. It's in the center of the bubble. It can only be passed by rowing boat. After Li Jie explained, a group of people arranged a boat ride under the leadership of Sister Lin. But so far, Erpaozi only has a small boat, and Lao Wang has no place. When he was worried, he jumped straight into the water.
The water temperature is a little cool, but it doesn't affect Lao Wang at all. In addition, he swam faster than a boat. He had been swimming in front of the boat. The column of water splashed with his feet was high and splashed to the bow of the boat. No matter how Sister Lin cheered for Li Jie who was rowing, she didn't catch up. She could only pout: "Chubby, your swimming posture is too ugly!" ”
It's true. Of course, Lao Wang's tiger planing style is not pretty, but it is very practical for him. This may be similar to his appearance and personality. Pragmatism may be the principle pursued by Lao Wang.
I don't know how many waterfowl there are, many are mallards, some are bigger geese. If they choose to breed here next year, the three bubbles can be officially named Yanming Lake.
Just a few days ago, the painstaking efforts finally came to fruition. The spring water cave of Sanpaoko has been officially opened and has begun to flow out. However, for the first two, we are not too surprised. On the contrary, we think it's normal and get used to it.
In addition, Lao Wang also noticed that Li Jie's domesticated crow, also known as parrots, was still roaming the boat. Although they are migratory birds, they may not fly south for the winter if they are fully domesticated: there is food and drink here, and who wants to travel long distances?
