Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 322 The Uncanny Nature
While Gu Siwei was waiting to see how Sicui went up, Sicui began to give orders to the tugboat's flowers and cubes.

"Flowers, cubes, go, go over there!"

Si Cui stretched out her finger.

The grass flower and the direction were instantly understood, and the boat was dragged towards the mountain to the west of Ghost Face Cliff.

On the bank of the river, Gu Siwei was wondering, Sicui had already started to carry a small basket, and it looked like he was about to get off the boat.

Before the basket was picked up, Hu Yanping reached out and snatched it, and carried it on his body.

Sicui stretched out her hand to grab the basket: "No, this road is dangerous, it's not safe for you to carry this, I'll do it."

How could Hu Yanping be willing to do it? He said directly: "No, no, I will recite it."

When Gu Siwei saw it, he had to say: "You two don't grab it, Si Cui, let Yanping carry it."

Only then did Si Cui let go of her hand.

"Lead the way ahead." Gu Siwei also put his own pannier on his back, and then said to Si Cui who had already disembarked.

Sicui pointed out with a smile: "You don't need to lead the way, just go up this trail, there is no other way."

Hearing what the girl said, Gu Siwei stretched out his head to take a look, and found that there was a trail that seemed to be walked out of a group of small bushes.

"You are really good, even this kind of place can be found."

Gu Siwei really admires his sister and daughter-in-law now. Look at this place. People like me who have cheats don't know about it, but they can find out.

Si Cui didn't take any credit for hearing this, and directly opened his mouth and said with a smile: "How could we know this way, grandpa Tao Yisheng didn't tell us."

Oh!
Now Gu Siwei understands, and he figured it out after thinking about it. Except for himself and Tao Yisheng, ordinary people really don't have such abilities. When ordinary people pass the river, they may be dumbfounded enough to look at the scenery on both sides. , There is no time to care whether there is a way here.

Only people who often move on cliffs, such as Gu Siwei and Tao Yisheng, can discover it.

In fact, this is what a guy like Gu Siwei who is willing to put gold on his face thinks so. The real situation is that only a herb collector like Tao Yisheng can know a lot of things that others don't know.

Since Gu Siwei saw Dao, he was the first to get in.

The shrubs are very dense. The good thing is that there are no thorns on the branches and leaves of these things. The bad thing is that they are too dense. From time to time, they will scratch the clothes, and sometimes the skin will hurt.

Going up along this path, the road is not straight, but twists and turns. Half of the path needs to be climbed with hands and feet, and the slope is more than 60 degrees.

Originally, I saw that the cliff and the water surface were five or six meters high, but now I found that Gu Siwei's estimate was a bit too optimistic, and the road was also ups and downs.

Just when Gu Siwei was about to ask Si Cui how long it would take to arrive, Gu Siwei found a mountain similar to a cave.

"You can see it by drilling through it," Si Cui said.

Gu Siwei was really curious. The cave was not high. Gu Siwei couldn't straighten up when he entered. He couldn't see the river when he stood at the door, but he could already hear the sound of running water in the river.

There is almost a big fold in the whole cave. Gu Siwei feels that it is Z-shaped. The cave is not long, only about twenty steps. After two folds, I suddenly saw the opening of the cave entrance. bright.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Gu Siwei looked at the scene he saw, and couldn't help admiring: "Nature is really amazing."

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard for Gu Siwei to believe that such a place was formed naturally by nature.

Gu Siwei saw his own ducks and big geese. These guys were crowded together on a platform protruding from the mountain.

The platform is not too wide, but it is not too narrow either. The widest part is about 1.5 meters wide, and the narrowest part is [-] to [-] centimeters, so people can pass it even if they are careful.

The most wonderful thing is that the outer edge of the platform is relatively high, while the inner part is relatively low. In this way, even if ducks and geese lay eggs on the edge, they are not afraid of the eggs rolling into the river, because the eggs can only roll inward, not outward. , which is the result of strictly obeying the principle of gravity.

Now there are a lot of eggs on this table, the big ones are goose eggs, and the smaller ones are duck eggs. Gu Siwei took a rough look and found that there are at least more than 100 eggs.

Of course, besides the eggs, there are also geese and ducks that are hatching. These guys are quite vigilant. Seeing Hu Yanping start quacking, he screamed.

"So many?" Gu Siwei smiled.

Sicui said: "There are so many, it's just a little bit, maybe some lazy guys have laid their eggs in the grass. And some of these eggs are not from the past two days, are they kept for hatching, so at least 30 Many eggs have been left here, and some of the mother geese and ducks in the family did not fly home at night... ".

Sicui felt that the eggs here were a little less, and after looking at them, he said, "I want to see who laid the eggs in the grass!"

Gu Siwei didn't answer, he squatted down with a smile on his side, climbed carefully to the cliff, and started to pick up eggs in his back basket.

At this time, Hu Yanping followed Gu Siwei's example and squatted down, but he was behind Gu Siwei, so there was no egg for him to pick up, so Hu Yanping complained in a short while.

"Brother-in-law, can you make way, you picked up all the eggs, what should I pick?" Hu Yanping said.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "There are only so few eggs in total, and I can't fill the basket, so don't follow me."

"Then I didn't come here for nothing?" Hu Yanping was a little unhappy.

Gu Siwei ignored him and continued to dig eggs.

At this time, Sicui said from behind: "Brother, don't pick up all the eggs, you have to take a look at some eggs that may soon hatch into ducklings and goslings, so don't pick up these eggs."

Gu Siwei said: "Then you pick it up, I don't know how to tell the difference."

Sicui said: "It's hard to tell. You can hold the egg to the sun and look at it."

Gu Siwei heard that it was so simple, so he took an egg and pointed it at the sun, but he didn't see anything, and his eyes were dazzled.

Si Cui saw it, come on, this matter has to be done by herself, so she first recruited Hu Yanping, and then asked Gu Siwei to come back, and she became the front row soldier from the last.

In the end, the fact is that Si Cui is still picking up eggs, and she can only pick them up. Although the place is big enough for Gu Siwei to pass by, there is no way, because there are geese and ducks hatching eggs on the table.

Sicui is also considered sensible, specially picking up eggs that no ducks or geese can see, and after picking them up, they have to take a look at them. If there are no problems, they will be put in the basket, and if there are problems, they will be put back to the original position.

If ducks and geese pass by, they will be fed with some of the food they brought.

Gu Siwei waited for his sister to crawl over, and then crawled back, only to find that the girl's knees were white and green, obviously rubbed with duck and goose dung.

This is unavoidable, if you think it is dirty, you have to stop picking eggs.

However, when doing farm work, it is inevitable to encounter these feces and pee, people who are too clean are not suitable for living in the countryside.

"Let's go, go back, take a look in the grass on the opposite side, and see which lazy guy has laid eggs in the grass," Sicui said.

Gu Siwei is not qualified to mention anything now, so obey the girl's arrangement, so Hu Yanping in the back row became the front row, Gu Siwei was in the middle, and Sicui was at the bottom. The three returned to the place where the boat was tied according to the same route.

Got on the boat and came directly to the opposite side.

The mountain on the opposite side is relatively gentle. The area near the water is about ten acres, full of long grass. This place is soaked in the water during the rainy season, and it will come out of the water when the water is wet. , It is precisely because of this that this place has accumulated a lot of nutrients, including some blind fish and shrimps, which did not escape when they emerged from the water, and rotted here and became fat.

Grass grows well with soil fertilizer.

If the grass is good, there will naturally be herbivorous things. It is a bit difficult for wild sheep to think of it here, because there are three walls and a river. As for large beasts, it is even more impossible to come here, so it has become an ideal place for some water birds. Habitat.

The three of Gu Siwei went up the cliff, and before they had walked a few steps, Hu Yanping yelled loudly.

"There's a bird's nest here." Hu Yanping pushed aside the grass, and reached out to point out the bird's nest he found to Gu Siwei and Sicui, with a look of excitement when he pointed.

Gu Siwei took a look, but didn't recognize any bird's nest, but Sicui did, and she stretched out her head to take a look before explaining to Hu Yanping.

"This is the nest of Xiaoshan's claw. This is a beneficial bird, which specializes in eating pests on trees. Don't step on the nest," Sicui said.

Hu Yanping said: "This bird is called Xiaoshanpaw? What's its scientific name?"

Sicui said: "How do I know this? When the older generation taught it, they called it Xiaoshanzhuozi. You go back to the village and ask them, and they have to tell you that it is called Xiaoshanzhuozi."

"It's definitely not called this, the scientific name is not called this, how ugly is that?" Hu Yanping felt that the name was a bit bad and too vulgar.

After hearing this, Sicui immediately retorted: "What's wrong, how good, Xiaoshan's claw!"

Gu Siwei suddenly felt that it was a bit like two children were distinguishing each other at this moment, but he didn't want to talk to them. Children would definitely grind their teeth together, not to mention that it was usually the brother-in-law who was grinding their teeth, not his own sister. not worried.

Walking forward, Gu Siwei found a goose egg, which was obviously a goose egg, because there was no nest, and it was quite big. Except for geese that can lay such a large egg, other waterfowl seem to have no such ability , Most waterfowl are probably not as big as this egg.

"I saw one".

Gu Siwei picked it up, shook it at Sicui and put it in the basket behind his back.

Sicui said: "Take a look."

"You put it back after reading it?"

"Don't put it here, put it in the place just now, find one that is hatching and put it in, and they will hatch," Sicui said.

Gu Siwei then decided to learn this way of watching eggs with his sister.

Just when Gu Siwei was about to take the egg in his hand to Sicui for questioning, suddenly a screaming thing rushed towards him.

A big goose!
No, it's a swan goose!
The eggs that Ganqing Gu Siwei picked up belonged to others, and they were not big geese made by his family.
