Chapter 304 New Discoveries
"Master Liu Wu, that's all..." Liu Junhao answered convincingly. The old man lived in his seventies or eighties and had eaten more salt than he had eaten, and this was incomparable. But this was the first time he heard that Master Liu Wu had seen Zhu? Isn't the old man dazzled and admitting other birds wrong?
"We showed him the picture album during the last time we visited. He said that there were many birds on the mountain before, and their names were Zhuniao. We came here to inspect this time to make Liu Wuye be the guide, but he said that his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he recommended you to us." Xu Dongfang explained again.
"It's true?" Liu Junhao was very convinced when he heard people say something serious. He turned his head and looked at Liu Guangju and asked, "Uncle Guangju, have you seen it?"
"No, it's the first time I've heard that there's this thing on our mountain."
"By the way, do you still have any photos? Get me a few photos and I'll ask the elderly in the village later." Liu Junhao is like that. He is usually lazy, but as long as he agrees, he will definitely do his best.
"Yes, yes" Sun Yutao quickly took out a stack of photos from his backpack. They had prepared very well before they came, and they specially printed a lot of photos with them.
"Xiao Hao, I'll leave these two people to you. If you can find Zhu in our Liujiagou, you will definitely be on the news broadcast of the Provincial TV station." Before leaving, Liu Guangju repeatedly reminded him that he had learned the importance of Zhu from the words of the two people.
After leaving the door, Liu Junhao immediately went to the chicken farm to find Mr. Liu Wu. He wanted to confirm again that the old man was right. If there was really, he found it somewhere. If he was so dizzy, he would definitely not be able to find it.
Still far from the chicken farm, I heard Master Liu Wu shouting "Chicken Gugu...Chicken Gugu..."
Judging from that attitude, he really regarded himself as a professional chicken raising employee.
Since the last rat-killing war, the chickens in the chicken farm have not been lost again. It has only been more than a month and has grown to twenty centimeters tall.
As soon as Master Liu Wu summoned, the chickens seemed like bandits and all surrounded them.
"Xiao Hao is here..." The old bullhead was sitting on a big rock smoking. When he saw him coming, he started to say hello far away.
"Well, this chicken is so beautiful."
Liu Junhao walked over and chatted with him. He only expressed his intentions when Mr. Liu finished his work.
"The two students asked once in the morning. I've used a hunting gun to shoot this thing before. The meat is not big and delicious..." Master Liu Wu smashed it hard and explained. He was also a good guy in his youth. He went up the mountain to hunt and went down the river to catch turtles. He could be said to be proficient in everything. However, in the 1980s, the country began to ban guns, so he was just a hero who had no use of his skills.
"You dare to eat national birds, you are strong." He didn't know how to describe it now, so he turned his head and asked the old bullhead, "Zhu? Have you seen it?"
"Don't ask me, I've never seen this thing before."
He is of the same age, one has seen the other has never seen it. This matter is a bit difficult. Liu Junhao didn't suspect that the fifth master was lying, but he could analyze from the words of the two that this thing was too rare. Thinking about it, if it was really as numerous as a sparrow, then he would have to look for it?
"Where did the fifth master see Zhu?" Liu Junhao asked the most important question again.
"Just by the mountain stream, the thing ate loaches, I shot it down..." Master Liu Wu explained, and then his tone became quite regretful. "I didn't know that this bird was strange before. If I had known it before, I wouldn't have committed any evil, and I don't know if there are any other places in our mountain. I haven't seen it for decades."
"The last time you have seen Zhu? When was it?"
"It seems that it was more than six years, and I can't remember it very clearly. At that time, there were still many deer deer on our mountain, and they were all beaten away."
"There were tigers and wolves in the early years." The old bullhead interjected.
Forty or fifty years, it has been too long. Liu Junhao has no hope for this bird hunting operation in the mountains. Human activities have caused too many creatures to lose their place to survive. More than ten years ago, wild fruits on the mountain were pressed into strings, and no one picked them up when they fell on the ground. There were piles of old turtles in the river, pheasants and rabbits running around in the woods, and in winter, they sneaked into the village to steal food and eat deer and raccoons. There were birds in the wheat trench. Dragonflies flying all over the sky in the afternoon in summer, etc. A few decades later, there were grass, raccoons, wild wolves, leopards, and even tigers.
Unfortunately, everything has become a thing of the past in just a few decades. The younger generation can only hear the sighs of the past from the old man’s mouths about the ancients. Such beautiful birds disappearing in the mountains may be the greatest punishment of nature to mankind. However, he still had some hope in his heart, hoping that he could find Zhu this time. If he really found it, Liu Junhao planned to put them into the stone lock to feed them. I believe that with the unique growth environment of the stone lock space, Zhu in Daqingshan would not take long to grow? The population of Zhu will definitely flourish again.
The information given by Master Liu Wu was too vague, by the mountain stream. The mountain stream was winding and tens of miles long. As he said, when should he find it?
"What, there is a vermilion in Daqingshan? Why don't I know?" When Zhang Qian came back at noon, Liu Junhao just told the news, and she jumped up.
"Don't talk about you, I just knew it, but it's probably extinct now." Liu Junhao smiled and told the whole story, and then told the news that he was a guide.
"Why are you like this? You are discouraged before you even set off. I think the environment in Daqingshan is very well protected. Maybe Zhu? It still exists." Zhang Qian's words obviously have an idealistic color. She is very eager to discover Zhu?. She has grown up so old that she has never seen a real thing, she has only seen pictures.
"What will the couple say? It's so lively?" At this time, Professor Zhao picked too many dishes in the morning and couldn't finish them at home, so he sent some here.
"Uncle Zhao, Liujiagou has discovered Zhu?" Zhang Qian said excitedly.
"What?" The old man almost threw the vegetables on the ground. "Really?"
"It was discovered once." Liu Junhao quickly interrupted and corrected it. Now he finally knew the meaning of "the words "three people are talking about, sows walk on the tree". The news changed its meaning as soon as it passed by a person. According to his wife's words, it is estimated that if it is passed on again, it will become "a cluster of thousands of red trees found in Daqingshan."
"In the past, there was a ruddy mountain?" Even so, Professor Zhao was still a little surprised.
"I'm not sure about this, I haven't seen it anyway."
In fact, Liu Junhao visited many elderly people in the morning, but the effect was not ideal. The fifth master of Liujiagou insisted that he had seen this thing, but no one else had even heard of it.
"I will give it to the students during class in the afternoon and ask them to go back and ask the elderly at home. Maybe I can provide you with some information." Zhang Qian put forward her own thoughts at this time.
Liu Junhao's eyes were bright when he heard his wife. His eyes were limited to Liujiagou, so he should jump out of the circle to see the problem. No one else saw Liujiagou, which does not mean that there are no other villages. He should take pictures to visit several neighboring villages and ask if anyone has seen them. Maybe he will gain something else. Especially Daliang Village, it should be regarded as the focus of this visit. I heard Lao Liu say that there are more hunting in that village.
After lunch, Sun Yutao and Xu Dongfang rushed over. As soon as they arrived outside the yard, Xiaopi suddenly rushed out of the nest.
When someone came, Liu Junhao immediately received the signal. He knew Xiaopi very well, and ordinary acquaintances came over. This guy didn't have that big reaction.
"Liu Junhao, are you at home?" Sun Yutao and the others also remembered that there was a dog in Liu Junhao's courtyard, so they did not rashly walk into the courtyard.
"It's you, please come in quickly." Liu Junhao hurriedly moved two chairs and let them sit down.
When Pi saw the owner's posture, he relaxed his original alert posture, stretched out his nose and sniffed at the two of them, and then returned to the doghouse to squat down.
"Zhizi" When Wukong saw the guest, he immediately rushed out of it, holding his claws in front of his chest to beg for something.
"Is this what you feed the monkey?" The two of them felt very novel when they saw the monkey's strange posture. They remembered that they hadn't had it when they came last time.
"It's called Wukong. This guy is very slim, go there." Liu Junhao waved his hand and drove the monkey away. There was no distinction between occasions. As long as the guests came, they would ask for something, which would be too embarrassing to the owner.
"The yard has changed a lot compared to last time. Why didn't you see your Qingzhuang?" Xu Dongfang turned around and looked in the yard for a week, and finally asked with interest.
"I've gone out to find food, shout and come back soon." Liu Junhao said and blew a loud whistle.
Within a minute of "scratching", the group of Qingzhuang ran back to the yard and screamed around the owner.
"Tsk tsk, your bird is so obedient," the two of them were stunned by Qingzhuang's performance again.
What surprised them even more was behind them. When the little starling heard the noisy outside, she also "scratched" and flew to the table.
"Is this a starling?" The two of them tend to be petrified.
Before Liu Junhao nodded and answered, the starling screamed again by Doudou, "Meow... Meow..."
"The animals you raise at home are unreasonable." Seeing the end, the two were completely numb.
For a moment, they forgot their original intention and went to the Huotou Pool to watch the two big Huotou Pools with great enthusiasm. This Huotou has been a relatively eye-catching star in recent times. They have to fight for the first time when they are feeding, and they are in a state of being unable to withstand two tigers. However, when both sides are fully familiar with each other, they have no chance of fighting.
"We want to go up the mountain in the afternoon..." After resting in Liu Junhao's courtyard for an hour, Xu Dongfang remembered the purpose of their visit.
"Hurry up so quickly, I want to take you to a few nearby villages to ask." Liu Junhao immediately nodded in agreement with the plan. The two of them immediately conducted an outdoor inspection and visited the old hunters around them. It is very important to have first-hand information. But they were not familiar with this area, and they did not expect that there was a village not far away.
As early as possible or late as possible, the three of them did not continue to rest in the yard. Liu Junhao took them to Daliang Village directly. When the monkey saw the owner going out, he immediately made a fuss to follow, but was locked in the yard by Liu Junhao.
The straight-line distance between Daliang Village is not far from Liujiagou, and there is only one mountain in the middle. However, the horses are dead when they look at the mountain. In addition, the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so it takes an hour to walk.
"Looking for Zhu? Why is there no teacher leading the team? You two students came here?" Liu Junhao thought of this important question halfway through the way.
After hearing his words, the two of them had a little unnatural appearance.
"The last time we went back, we told the tutor about this news and wanted to apply for a project to re-examination. But the teacher didn't really believe that Daqingshan still existed? The project failed..."
"Then what are you this time?"
"The self-financing investigation is to find a result." Sun Yutao looked like an optimistic person and answered happily.
"So you can't kill us too ruthlessly. You can give you a guide fee of up to twenty yuan a day." Xu Dongfang also said to him. After the last time someone refused to be a guide for them, the two of them also learned from the side that they earned hundreds of yuan a day for selling eels, and they didn't look down on the little money at all. Therefore, he had to get a vaccination first to save Liu Junhao's lion's mouth.
"Haha, they are all friends, and they are vulgar. For you to examine this attitude at your own expense, I don't want a guide fee." He also saw what the two of them did, and they were people who were busy studying. Although Liu Junhao had never been to college, he still admired such people who were serious about doing things.
"How can that be done? I can't let you do it for nothing." Xu Dongfang felt embarrassed when he heard this, and felt that he was a little judged by a villain's heart.
"What's wrong? If you go to Liujiagou for inspection, what if you really find Zhu?, then you're talking about advertising in our village. We're already taking advantage of it if we don't pay advertising fees..." It's definitely a sensational news to discover Zhu in Daqingshan.
"It's good to really find out." Sun Yutao sighed with a wry smile. He actually didn't have much hope for this inspection.
"Hey, isn't this the young man selling Thirteen Scents? You haven't gone to the street to sell Thirteen Scents..." As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Daliang Village, an old man blocked their way.
Khan, I haven't sold Thirteen Scents for more than a year, and anyone still remembers it. Liu Junhao replied with a smile: "I changed my career,"
"Who are you going to? Tell me, I'll take you there." The old man seemed very enthusiastic.
"We don't look for people, we are looking for birds. Uncle, have you seen such birds?" Xu Dongfang said as he took out the photo from his pocket.
"This bird..." The old man looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and replied: "I haven't seen it before."
The three of them asked along the way, and finally asked Lao Liangtou's house.
When the old man saw that it was Liu Junhao, he immediately pulled them to let them drink water in the house.
"Isn't this Zhunniao?" Lao Liangtou shouted with some confusion when he saw the photo.
"Have you seen it?" They immediately became excited. If they were a little suspicious of what Mr. Liu Wu said before, it has become a certainty. Just by being able to call out this name, you can imagine that he should have seen it. It's really a matter of searching for something without any effort.
