I run a farm, how can I become a zoo?

Chapter 160 The Weak Merganser
The next day.

The crops have just been harvested.

God does not make beauty.

It started raining the next day,

This also resulted in people in the village, although they had just harvested rice, unable to take it out to dry.

Fortunately, the rain came and went quickly.

It stopped raining that afternoon.

However, it is still a little humid outside, so naturally there is no way to take out the rice to dry in the sun at this time.

And Xu Suxin, who left yesterday, also came back today.

After coming back, she also asked how much rice Su Mu's family had harvested. When Su Mu told him, Xu Suxin was shocked.

but.

Although the rice harvest has been completed.

But Su Mu had other plans for that acre of land.

He planned to make use of that acre of land.

Plant some vegetables or something.

In this way, even if there is not much fresh grass in winter, there will still be fresh vegetables for cattle and sheep to eat.

In addition, Su Mu also plans to plant some autumn potatoes.

However, these still need to be cultivated and water from the storage lake needs to be diverted.

Although it rained today, Su Mu didn't know what the water level was at the water storage lake.

So he decided to go and have a look.

Let Xu Suxin stay at home.

Su Mu walked straight to the water storage lake.

Not long after, he arrived at the water storage lake.

But when he came over, he found a group of animals in the water storage lake.

I saw that their heads were about the same size as those little ducks raised by Su Mu's family.

However, there are actually red hairs on the heads of these ducks.

This surprised Su Mu.

According to his memory, the weirder the animal looks, the more precious it is.

So when he saw this group of little ducks, Su Mu took out his mobile phone and searched on the Internet.

After searching for the answer, Su Mu realized what the names of these little ducks were.

Bar-headed Merganser.

National key second-level protected animal!

The breeding plumage of the male bird is white on the head and neck, and the eye area and first part of the eye are black, forming a black spot in the eye area.

The two sides of the pillow are black and the center is white. Each feather is extended to form a crest.

The female's forehead, top of her head and back of her neck are maroon, her eyes and face are black; her cheeks, sides of neck, chin and throat are white, her back to upper tail coverts are dark brown, her shoulder feathers are grey-brown, her front neck base to chest is gray-white, her flanks and Taupe.

It's just that these ducks are still small, and only the wisp of red hair on their heads can identify them.

But this also surprised Su Mu. He just hadn't been to this water storage lake for a long time.

But today, we can actually find the second-level protected animal here, the spotted-headed merganser.

However, now that this spotted-headed merganser has been discovered.

Then Su Mu also had to take a photo, and then take the photo back to Xu Suxin and ask her to report it to Guo Jiarui.

After all, this is a protected animal, and it suddenly appeared in his home's water storage lake.

Su Mu had no intention of driving the spotted-headed merganser away.

After all, even if they can fish in the impoundment lake, they can only catch some small fish.

There's nothing they can do about those big fish.

Just when Su Mu was about to leave.

But I heard the quack of the spotted-headed merganser.

He followed his gaze.

I saw a group of spotted-headed mergansers surrounding a reed bush, making anxious sounds.

Ok?
This is how the same thing?

Hearing the anxious calls of these spotted-headed mergansers, Su Mu couldn't help but stop.

They must have encountered something.

Why don't you go and see for yourself?

Su Mu thought for a while, and finally decided to move towards the group of spotted-headed mergansers.Not long after, Su Mu came to the reeds.

When he got closer, he saw a spotted-headed merganser lying in the reeds.

It looked like he was dead.

Ok?
This duck looks as big as these spotted-headed mergansers.

Why do deaths occur so easily?
And judging from its appearance, it didn’t suffer any injuries?

This made Su Mu even more confused.

After all, the spotted-headed merganser lying on the ground in front of him had no wounds anywhere except that his whole body was wet.

Is it because it has been raining for too long?Is that why?
In fact, although animals such as ducks can be exposed to rain, they should not be exposed to the rain for too long, otherwise they will easily get sick.

Ok?
Su Mu was watching carefully.

Suddenly, it was discovered that this spotted-headed merganser, which was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly moved its beak at this moment.

Huh?
not dead?

Still angry?
"Then should I rescue him?"

Seeing this scene, Su Mu's eyes widened slightly.

This spotted-headed merganser is a protected animal.

It's okay if you don't notice it.

But now it has been discovered.

So no matter what, I should save myself.

And now is not the time to think about the follow-up.

After all, delaying for too long may make the weak Merganser's condition more serious.

Thinking of this, Su Mu quickly reached out and caught the spotted-headed merganser, which was in very serious condition.

Then he took it with him and rushed towards his home.

"Brother Su, are you back so soon?"

Xu Suxin, who was at home, was a little surprised when she saw Su Mu coming back so soon.

After all, Su Mu had said that he would go to the water storage lake to have a look.

"Su Xin, hurry up, help me find a dry towel and another basin."

"Oh, good."

Seeing Su Mu's anxious face, Xu Suxin went to prepare without saying a word.

At this time, Su Mu also took out a hair dryer from his room.

When Xu Suxin had prepared these, he immediately put the spotted-headed merganser into the basin, then turned on the hair dryer and blew the wet hair on the spotted-headed merganser's body with hot air.

"what?"

"Brother Su, this duck seems to be a spotted-headed merganser, right?"

At this time, Xu Suxin saw clearly that the duck Su Mu brought back was completely different from the ducks raised at home.

Red hair on top of head.

This is obviously the national second-level protected animal, the spotted-headed merganser!

Su Mu explained to Xu Suxin while blowing the wet hair on the spotted-headed merganser's body.

Only after listening to Su Mu's explanation did she understand.

"Brother Su, this spotted-headed merganser's condition looks very serious. I don't know if it can survive it."

"Yeah, I'm not sure either. Now we can only try this method. If it works, it's still the best."

"If that doesn't work, you can only report the matter to Mr. Guo and the others."

"Well, Brother Su, I understand."

Time passed by minute by minute.

After about half an hour.

The fur on the spotted-headed merganser has been dried.

And the little guy who was originally a little weak moved his feet at this time.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu and Xu Suxin were both a little excited.

As long as it can move, it means it is slowly recovering.

At this time.

Su Mu also brought a bottle, which contained spiritual spring water.
.
He poured a little bit into the bottle cap, and then fed the spotted-headed merganser slowly while pecking at it.

I hope this little guy can regain his strength after drinking the spiritual spring water.

As long as it can recover to the point where it can eat and drink, it means that it has almost recovered.
