Perhaps before this, many people have never thought about where the pine nuts they eat every day come from.

Zhang Bei didn't explain too much. If you don't pay attention to picking pine cones, you may die.

For the sake of the lives of the friends in the live broadcast room, this topic should be skipped as soon as possible.

After refocusing the camera on the lightning-struck wood nearby, Zhang Bei took out a small ax from his backpack and started chopping.

"I'm glad that this tree is completely dead. If there is still life, I can only take away a few branches."

"It is absolutely not allowed to cut down wild forests. As long as the trees are still alive, it is illegal!"

Zhang Bei explained to the audience in the live broadcast room the reason why he said he was lucky in a slightly teasing tone.

"However, if you really encounter a tree struck by lightning, and the tree is still alive, you can take away part of the branches within the scope permitted by the law, as long as it does not affect the growth of the tree."

Zhang Bei moved very quickly and cut down a large piece of wood in just a few minutes.

He found a strong vine and tied the thunderbolt wood to his backpack.

"Okay, later I will find a suitable carver to turn this thing into a wooden sign and mail it to you."

After the words fell, Zhang Bei quickened his pace and walked in the other direction.

This time it was not a cliff, which also made the water friends in the live broadcast room breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Bei looked at some pine trees on the side and was about to introduce to the water friends in the live broadcast room how to identify the age of pine trees, when Lao Bai's voice rang in his mind.

"Those little guys are back, and they're at the creek before. Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Um?"

"Those little ducks."

"real!"

"Well, it should be the vanguard, about a dozen of them."

After hearing Lao Bai's words, Zhang Bei immediately quickened his pace.

The duck that Lao Bai is talking about is called the Chinese Merganser, and it is a very cute bird.

They are migratory birds and usually fly south in October, only to come back to breed from March to April every year.

Calculating carefully, Zhang Bei has not seen these cute little things for more than half a year.

After all, he is an experienced mountaineer and is more familiar with the terrain in this area than his own toilet.

Under Zhang Bei's fast footsteps, he approached a small stream in just about ten minutes.

On the shore, light-bodied Chinese Mergansers are nestling together in pairs, preening each other's feathers.

The originally scrolling barrages in the live broadcast room became quiet when they saw the scene in front of them.

The appearance of the Chinese Merganser is full of beauty.

The head and upper body are black, but the wings and lower body are white.

The difference is clear!

In this beauty, every male Merganser seems to have an unconventional afro on its head.

Beautiful things always attract people.

The more than 100,000 people in the entire live broadcast room were surprisingly consistent, and not even a single barrage was sent out.

Zhang Bei adjusted the camera so that the audience could see more clearly.

Then he lowered his voice and began to introduce.

"They are called Chinese Mergansers. Although they are called ducks, they are essentially migratory birds. The weather has warmed recently, and it is time for them to come back to breed."

"Chinese mergansers all move in families and only gather into large groups before migration."

"They are not noisy like ordinary birds and ducks. Instead, they are very quiet. If you don't know their nests, you may be hard-pressed to find them in your lifetime."

"They are species that survived after the Tertiary Ice Age. They are more than 10 million years old and are unique to China."

"Although mergansers can lay five to nine eggs at a time, the wild population is very rare. According to the last calculation, there may only be about a thousand eggs in the world."

Zhang Bei did not disturb these little guys, he just stopped to watch for a while and then turned and left.

It wasn't until the little thing lost sight of the screen that a barrage of snowflakes floated out.

Xiangmo: [It’s so cute, that afro is so cute!]

Bei Ming Youhai: [Are all the protection personnel shit-eating? Why are there only more than a thousand of them? 】

Alligators are beaten every day: [Where can I see them up close?]

Zhang Bei took a look at the barrage, and while hurried on, he also selected some questions to answer.

"This really cannot be blamed on the conservation staff. Mergansers are migratory birds and are bound to be damaged during their annual migration. If not for their efforts, this population might have completely disappeared a few years ago."

"If you want to see them up close, it's best to wait until October every year. They can be seen in the wild mountains and forests in Quanzhou and other places."

"If you want to raise one, don't even think about it. Even though it's small, it's still a beast sitting in jail."

"Now it has been included in the "Red Book", "Red List" and "Protection List". If you raise one, it will start at least ten years, and there is no cap."

Answering questions about mergansers, Zhang Bei returned to the village before noon.

After saying goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room, Zhang Bei rubbed his sore shoulders and walked all the way to the end of the village.

"Is Uncle Lin at home?"

"Hey, why is the boss free to come to my place today?"

"Please make something."

"Did you come across something good again?"

Zhang Bei patted the lightning-struck wood behind him and said, "Don't go to too much trouble. Just ask your apprentice to make a few wooden signs."

"Are you doing this live broadcast?"

The leader has been doing live broadcasts recently and has an information station in the village, so everyone is basically aware of it.

"Yes, is it okay for your apprentice to give some gifts to the audience?"

"Don't worry, that brat is fine recently."

Zhang Bei placed the lightning strike wood on the ground: "Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

"Are you still polite to me?"

Zhang Bei smiled: "Let's have dinner at home when you have time!"

"good!"

Uncle Lin is a famous wood carving master who has won awards internationally.

It was just that his hand was injured in an accident, and from then on he took his apprentice back to his hometown to live.

Even though it was easy for Zhang Bei to ask Uncle Lin's apprentice to help with carving, in fact this was something that no one could ask for.

He has a close relationship with Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin's wife had a car accident three years ago.

Zhang Bei went into the mountains late at night in the heavy rain and brought back an old ginseng that saved his life.

Generally speaking, the ornaments in his home were all made by Uncle Lin's apprentices.

Even the chairs we usually use were made by Uncle Lin himself.

Although my hands can no longer carve some delicate objects, there is still no problem with large objects such as chairs and tables.

Zhang Bei estimated the days and sighed silently.

In a few days, I will prepare some tonics and send them to Uncle Lin.
Chapter completed!
