Chapter 521 The Crown of Birds

"Help me..."

The two shouted vigorously.

But even with such a cry, the expansion and contraction of the chest seems to be accelerating the sinking speed.

Fortunately, there are many people entering the swamp today, and the distance is not far away. If there are only two of them, today will be troublesome.

Hearing the shouts of Chen Xiuqing and the others, the two groups of people nearby were the first to hear it. When encountering such a thing, they immediately thought of what was going on. Drilled over to the place where the two were shouting.

Hearing someone coming to rescue, the person who joined hands with Chen Xiuqing immediately warned: "It's a straw blanket, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people in the group on the left had already plopped and fell into the mud. The area of ​​the straw blanket was not small.

The two people on the right came a little slower. When they heard the shout, they quickly slowed down and carefully probed and touched them with sticks in their hands. However, after walking a short distance, they found the grass ditch under their feet. The child also began to shake.

They have all been in the swamp before, and they know very well that if they go forward at this time, if they are a little careless, they will suddenly fall into the swamp.

But the two were still seven or eight meters away from Chen Xiuqing and the others, and they couldn't reach them at all, and the two on the left side of the two of them were still sinking and were further away.

"Come here and help, someone has fallen into the grass blanket!" One of them immediately shouted to the surroundings, trying to call people over.

This time, Lu Lu and Zhang Shaofeng also heard it.

Knowing the power of the straw blanket, Lu Lu didn't dare to be careless. Although he was anxious, he also knew that there was no rush for this matter, so he still had to approach carefully.When he was nearby, he looked at the grass swaying under his feet, and then looked at the two men closest to him who had sunk to the waist. They were each holding some reeds, but they were only slowing down the sinking. The mud was so rotten that it was impossible to climb up, and the reeds that were a little farther away were out of reach.

Looking at Chen Xiuqing's side, both of them were almost up to their mouths, and they didn't even dare to open their mouths.

As for the other two rescuers, one was working hard to cut the reeds, while the other kept putting the reeds under his body, and then crawled towards Chen Xiuqing and the others.

Right now, this is the only way.

Lu Lu quickly greeted Zhang Shaofeng: "Brother Feng, follow their method, you cut the reeds, and I'll crawl over."

Zhang Shaofeng saw the operation on the other side, and immediately understood the intention, frantically swung the sickle, and threw bundles of surrounding reeds in front of Lu Lv who was crawling towards the two of them.

With the help of the increased stress area and buoyancy of the reed, Lu Lu quickly approached the two men, and passed the stick in his hand: "Hold it!"

The person closest to him obeyed, stretched out his hand to grab the stick that Lu Lu gave, and rushed towards Lu Lu, but with a strong hand, it wasn't Lu Lu who pulled him out, but Lu Lu was dragged and fluttered. stand up.

Seeing this, Lu Lu hurriedly told him to stop, turned around and shouted at Zhang Shaofeng: "Brother Feng, get more reeds and throw them over, the more the better."

Zhang Shaofeng didn't dare to be careless, he kept holding the sickle in his hand, and soon cut two bundles of reeds for Lu Lu, and threw them to Lu Lu's side.

After this shaking, the speed of the two sinking was obviously much faster.

Lu Lu hurriedly threw two bundles of reeds towards the two of them: "Use the reeds first to slow down."

The two also knew Lu Lu's intentions, and each lay down on the reed to slow down the speed of the sinking. With this force, the two of them stopped the sinking.

Chen Xiuqing and the others were a little different. They were the first to sink. Considering that they fell forward, they were still likely to continue to sink, and soon their nose and mouth would be covered and suffocated, so they chose to lean back. The two of them People can't put things under themselves.

Fortunately, the two people who rescued them were very powerful. One kept cutting reeds and sent them over, while the one who crawled to meet them kept piling down on his body. To a certain extent, he was completely able to stand up without sinking, and was able to Use your strength.

He first handed the stick to Chen Xiuqing, who was bigger and the sewage was almost up to his nostrils. After Chen Xiuqing grabbed the stick, he kept dragging it down, pulling Chen Xiuqing out, followed by another person .

The same is true for Zhang Shaofeng, who kept throwing bundles of reeds towards Lu Lu. Soon, Lu Lu also put a thick layer on his body, and finally he was able to stand up and drag the two people who were not so deep. up.

Things sounded simple, but it took a lot of effort.

When the eight people climbed to the real place, they were all out of breath from exhaustion, and fell to the ground, panting.

The wild geese overhead were still squawking, and seeing several people get away from the water bubble, they fell into the water bubble one after another, and continued to return to the goose nest to incubate their eggs.

Fortunately, it is already July, and it will be two months earlier. The swamp is still as cold as ice water, and it will be numb after a long time.

The four people who fell into the mud were covered in mud, and they simply washed the black mud off their bodies in another small water bubble that would not sink.

Wrapped in black mud, not only is it inconvenient to move, but the most important thing is that it also smells particularly fishy.

"The four of you go back and wash up first? You are drenched, uncomfortable, and easy to catch a cold." Lu Lu looked at the four of them and said with a smile.

"They are all strong and strong, and the sun is shining now. It won't be long before they are done, so don't delay!"

"Continue to encircle. After we tossed around here, a big gap was exposed. I am afraid that many geese have already escaped."

"Hurry up and do it...!"

Seeing that none of them had the intention of going back, Lu Lu could only smile at them: "Next, be careful, don't chase those hatched goose eggs, just surround these little goose eggs that can swim freely in the water." Goose!"

"it is good!"

Several people responded, each returned to their positions, and began to surround Xiaoyan again.

As expected, the number of wild geese driven out of the reeds this time was much less, and the number of geese caught was only two or three hundred.

However, Lu Lu was already very satisfied with such a harvest.

After tossing all morning, the number of wild geese caught was at least seven or eight hundred. Seeing that the time was about the same, Lu Lu called everyone back to eat.

When he returned to the fishing team, he saw that the little geese sent back before had been surrounded by fishing nets in a large area on the grass near the water at the edge of the swamp, so he locked all the little geese inside, squawking shrilly. The sound caused wild geese to fly randomly in the sky, and some even found by Lost Boy fell directly into the seine net.

Lu Lu didn't care about them, he still thought about taking some adult geese back with each car.

Guarded by wild geese, these small geese can reduce being invaded by animals such as yellow sables, sables or otters.

Wild geese are much fiercer than big geese, and they can save a lot of trouble as guards.

It's just that the wild geese that catch alive are very particular!

Wild geese have the reputation of "the crown of birds".Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are complete, and have always been praised by people.

Wild geese have benevolence, because there are always old, weak, sick and disabled in a pair of geese, who cannot rely on their own ability to hunt for food, and the rest of the mature geese will never abandon them and will die for their care.

Wild geese also have bonds of affection, male and female match each other, and always stick to one another. No matter whether the female goose dies or the male goose dies, the lone goose left alone will not find another mate until it dies.

The wild geese give courtesy, which is manifested as a human form or a human shape when flying. It is said that it has aerodynamics, but the head geese are led by the old geese who are highly respected and experienced in turn. The younger ones will not disturb them no matter how powerful they are. This rank order.

Wild geese are intelligent, and the main point is that when geese land and rest, they will arrange special geese to watch out for vigilance, and if there is any disturbance, they will immediately soar into the sky.

And the so-called letter refers to the unshakable timing and rhythm, never breaking the appointment.

To put it bluntly, this is a beautiful advantage summed up from the habits of wild geese. In ancient times, it was even a must-have for welcoming relatives.

But it is precisely because of the friendship that he shows a strong temperament, which is more troublesome.

There is rarely an odd number of wild geese in a group, because wild geese rarely live alone. If one of a pair of wild geese dies, the single one may even choose to commit suicide or die of depression.

In other words, if you want to catch alive and easy to raise, you have to pair them up, which makes it more difficult to catch.

Lu Lu has not found a good solution until now. He just thinks that if he wants to increase the probability of this kind of pairing, the best way is to catch a flock of wild geese and catch as many geese as possible. The possibility of pairing is greater. If you catch one in the east and one in the west, you won't be able to keep them.

Put the newly caught geese on the boat into the seine net, and look at the twittering geese inside. This is only one morning, and I have caught seven or eight hundred of them, and I will catch some more in the afternoon. According to the current progress Lu Lu felt that he might be able to get two or three thousand of them tomorrow, enough for a cart, so he had to send them back.

Small geese are not chickens, they are much bigger than chickens, and it is destined that a cart cannot be like pulling chickens, and tens of thousands of them can be loaded in a cart casually.

He could only think about making two more trips.

The point is, with so many baby geese crowded in the car, too much density is prone to problems, so we have to pull less.

When catching small geese, many wild geese attacked and were caught by the poles and fell into the water. When almost every small boat returned to the fishing team, they would catch some and take them back.

Therefore, the meals at noon and evening are also mainly wild goose meat.

After lunch and a brief rest, a group of people rowed into the swamp again, this time in another place. In one afternoon, they got hundreds of wild geese again, which was a great harvest.

When returning to the fishing team at night and waiting for dinner and rest, Chen Xiuqing came over, took out some fingernail-sized pearl-sized bird eggs from his pocket and asked Lu Lu: "Brother Lu, what kind of bird's eggs are these? Can you eat it?"

Lu Lu took a look and said with a smile, "What are you doing with this thing?"

"I just think it looks good, and I want to take it back to see if it tastes good!" Chen Xiuqing can easily connect everything he sees with eating.

"There are wild goose eggs, one is worth twenty or thirty of these things, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to eat wild goose eggs?" Lu Lu didn't even know what his uncle was thinking.

"Eggs taste like eggs, and wild goose eggs taste like wild goose eggs. Maybe this kind of small eggs are delicious too! Each has its own flavor." Chen Xiuqing scratched her head and said.

Each has its own taste...

"No one eats this stuff, it's an egg laid by a kind of swallow called Ma Yan by the people here!" Lu Lu explained.

Ma Yan's nests are usually in low grass, on piles of weeds scattered in disorder, or under bushes. They are as big as holding hands together, and they are very exquisite and delicate. There are many of them on Bird's Nest Island, but, The head is also too small.

Hearing Lu Lu said that no one would eat it, Chen Xiuqing immediately threw the bag of beautiful hemp swallow eggs into the group of wild geese.

Lu Lu thought it was over, but unexpectedly, when the guy came back, he took out four brown-spotted eggs that were about the size of wild goose eggs and asked, "What kind of eggs are these?"

Lu Lu glanced at it, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "This is a crane's egg...You boy, the egg has already broken its shell, what are you doing with it?"
