There are a lot of weeds by the stream, and occasionally there are a few crooked trees hanging on the stream.

There are also all kinds of stones that are washed by the stream water all year round, smooth and delicate, especially in the shade of the stream, where moss is everywhere, and you will slip if you don’t pay attention.

When Chen Ling and Wang Susu came to the mountains to collect herbs before, they fell several times because they had no experience in this area. Thanks to his strong body, they were not injured.

The moss on the shade is harmful to people, and the sun is not necessarily better.

Wild grass spreads over the sky, and poisonous snakes often appear.

With a bunch of little babies following him, Chen Ling had to be more careful.

So he cut a branch with a hatchet to make a long stick, and he walked and looked out at the grass, slowly following the two dogs.

Fortunately, I didn’t go far, the stream became wider, and a rocky beach appeared in front of me.

Heiwa and Xiaojin also stopped at this time, jumped out of the stream, and shouted in one direction.

Seeing that they didn't rush up directly, Chen Ling was a little worried about encountering some large wild beasts. After all, you often hear wolves screaming at night. There are many wolves in the mountains and many wild boars.

This season is either in heat or taking care of children, and it is very ferocious.

As a result, he was stunned when he walked forward.

He turned out to be a familiar face.

It was the kite he saved.

At this time, a pheasant was pressing on a pile of rocks with claws, carrying chicken feathers all over the ground, and two were dipped in their mouths. It seemed that they were preparing to eat.

Now the two old rivals of Heiwa Xiaojin suddenly appeared, which obviously scared him.

He immediately widened his eyes, spread his wings, and exploded his feathers, making a scream of intimidation.

"Uncle Fugui, it's an eagle, let Heiwa and the other two catch it!"

六妮儿几个跟过来,看见鹞子后眼睛就亮了,急忙蹑手蹑脚的凑到陈凌身边,压低声音提醒.

It seemed like I was afraid that the kite would be scared away.

In fact, they didn't use any reminder. Heiwa had already rushed over when he spoke, and frightened the harrier that was so fierce that he flew up. Then Heiwa picked up the pheasant with most of his feathers and ran back leisurely with Xiaojin.

The kite flew to a big tree by the stream, and could only watch the prey being stolen. It kept making angry and unwilling screams from its mouth, spreading its wings and flapping, as if it wanted to slam but didn't dare to sprint it.

But he sighed when he saw the little babies, regretting that the two dogs failed to catch the "eagle". Now he was so scared that he didn't dare to come down.

Chen Ling stood aside and looked at the kite's eyes and frowned slightly.

I thought to myself why this guy is here too?

It's a bit too coincidental.

Could it be that I have been following my butt secretly?

Just as he was thinking this way, Heiwa came over and put the pheasant at his feet.

Chen Ling picked it up and was about to throw it into the basket. He saved the life of the kite before and had to collect some interest back.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the pheasant was a little different.

After a closer look, although most of the feathers on their bodies were held down by the harriers and were bare, the feathers on their head, abdomen and tail were still there, and the feathers were seen as brown and maroon patterns.

Anyone who has seen pheasants knows that this should be the color of a female pheasant, but the feathers on the tail of this pheasant are old.

This is obviously not right.

"Liu Nier, see if this pheasant is male or female?"

Chen Ling called Liu Ni'er to show him.

The boy stared at the kite with his eyes and discussed with other little kids how to knock the kite down.

When Chen Ling called him to ask, he looked at him strangely and said, "It's my mother, what's wrong with Uncle Fugui?"

"Look at it again, the female pheasant has such a long tail?"

Liu Ni'er was stunned after hearing this, and quickly stretched out her neck to see.

This kid is the king of children in the village. He often catches fish and birds, and it is common for him to get pheasants.

In addition, his father Wang Lixian often went up the mountain to hunt.

So Liu Ni'er has been very familiar with pheasants since she was a child.

After taking a look, he immediately said, "Uncle Fugui, this is not a pheasant, the female pheasant has no long tail."

Chen Ling thought to himself, and then looked up at the kite on the tree. This unlucky thing was probably the red-bellied pheasant.

But this is just a female. The color of the feather is very similar to that of the female pheasant, which means that the tail is much longer than that of the pheasant.

"No wonder the red-bellied pheasant has no hen hatched eggs in its nest. It turned out that it was caught by this kite."

Some of the habits of red-bellied pheasants are actually very similar to those of domestically raised old hens, such as protecting their cubs, such as holding nests and hating eggs.

Normally speaking, when hatching eggs, they will not leave their nests easily like old hens.

Unless in danger.

Moreover, the red-bellied pheasant is built in a hidden nest and is generally not easily discovered.

Today, the situation was obviously frightened. Both the male and female birds left their nests and were seen by Liu Nier and others.

He looked at the kite on the tree again, and saw that it was bulging with its chest and still looked angry. Chen Ling ignored it, called Liu Nier and a few more, and took the dog back the same way.

Walk to the old nest of the red-bellied pheasant.

The male bird with bright and beautiful feathers, like a phoenix, has disappeared.

But the eggs are still there in the old nest of the bushes.

Chen Ling sighed lightly when he saw this.

The red-bellied pheasant is a male with three or four females. Moreover, the female has a protective color and is very good at concealing in the mountains and forests. This can greatly improve its survival ability and ensure the reproduction of the population.

But when encountering danger, the male bird's behavior often appears cruel and ruthless.

These eggs that did not hatch the chicks were abandoned.

"Liu Nier, Xiao Sen, you guys go and pick out the eggs."

"Uncle Fugui, do you want to eat it?"

"If you don't eat it, this thing is not as delicious as the local eggs at home. I will take it to the market to sell it for money. I will buy you candy when I go."

"Uncle Fugui, I don't want to eat candy, I want to eat prawns."

"I want to eat too, and I dreamed that my mother is too stupid and can't do it at all..."

After the little baby picked out the eggs, he yelled at eating crayfish.

Chen Ling looked at him with his little faces looking at him with awesome look, then nodded and agreed, which immediately caused a lot of cheers.

Only Liu Ni'er looked at this and then that, and asked Chen Ling with a confused look on his face, "Uncle Fugui, what big shrimp?"

Chen Ling was amused at once. When I was making crayfish last time, the kid went to school and didn't live, but he missed it.

"The big prawns in the reservoir are red-shelled, so old, my grandfather and I Dada both said they were bitter, but Uncle Fugui made them very delicious. I almost ate all the shells last time."

Xiao Sen shook his head and showed off at Liu Ni'er.

This made Liu Nier very hungry. She thought it was not good to go to school. No matter what delicious Uncle Fugui made, he couldn't eat hot food.

The little baby shouted to eat on his mouth, but his hands and feet were very quick.

After helping Chen Ling put the eggs of the red-bellied pheasant in the backpack, he pulled some wild weeds by the stream and cushions under it, and continued to follow Chen Ling forward.

...

It is approaching late spring, and there are a lot of medicinal herbs on the mountain, including money lotus, gouv, Tianqi, licorice, horseshoe grass, isatis root, yellow flowers, honeysuckle...

Although they were all ordinary medicinal herbs, Chen Ling still picked a lot of them in his backpack.

After the stream gradually became turbulent and the mountain began to steep.

A dense forest appeared in front of it, with many bamboos and mulberry trees.

At first glance, purple-red mulberries hung on the branches, and layers fell on the ground. Several hedgehogs hid behind the raised roots, lowered their heads to eat mulberries on the ground, and did not run away when they saw people coming.

"I'm rich, why did you bring a bunch of dolls here?"

At this time, someone heard the movement outside the forest and looked out in the forest.

"Brother Dazhi, Sister Xiuying, what are you doing here?"

When Chen Ling saw a man and a woman in the forest, he approached and asked.

"I have silkworms at home and come to the mountains to pick some mulberry leaves."

The man put down the hooked pole in his hand and smiled at Chen Ling, "Fugui, these two dogs in your family are scary. If I hadn't seen you follow you, I would have pulled your sister-in-law to climb a tree."
