Golden Fishing Village

After listening to the words of the officials from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau, Ao Muyang subconsciously recalled the shocked expression of Deng Taihang after he saw the queen in the afternoon.

He recognized the identity of the queen and notified the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau.

Of course, he had expected this day. Deng Taihang's reporting of this matter was a citizen's responsibility, and he could not blame him for anything.

But Lu Zhizi was right. He was a hypocrite. He said nothing in person, and turned around to call the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau to report. And judging from the speed of the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau's visit, it was obvious that he had used some connections.

Illegal capture of national first-class protected birds is a prison sentence.

The county public security bureau also sent people over. The police are now staring at the door, holding handcuffs in their hands, ready to arrest people at any time.

Lu Zhizi wanted to explain, but Ao Muyang waved his hand to stop him.

He smiled and said, "Leader, I do have a Steller's sea eagle here, but if you say I illegally imprisoned it, that's an exaggeration."

"What do you mean?"

"I picked up this Steller's sea eagle at sea. When I found it, it was almost eaten by a shark. It went fishing in the water and was hit by a shark. I drove the shark away, then took it home and bandaged its wound."

The official from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau asked, "Why didn't you notify the relevant departments at that time?"

Ao Muyang said, "Because I didn't know it was a Steller's sea eagle at that time. If you didn't come to my house, I wouldn't know it was a Steller's sea eagle now. How can I, a person with a high school education, know what a national first-class protected animal is?"

The official from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau laughed and said, "Little brother, it's boring if you say that."

Ao Muyang said innocently, "What should I say? I didn't catch this bird to buy it, I didn't catch it or lock it up. I saved it and released it. "

The official from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau was stunned and said, "You said you released it?"

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "Yes, I definitely released it."

The official didn't believe it. He took the police to search the house, but found no trace of the Steller's sea eagle, nor any signs of it being confined and raised.

The Steller's sea eagle is a big bird. To raise this kind of bird, at least a special room must be prepared. There are inevitably traces of its life in the room.

The group searched carefully and found two bird droppings, but nothing else.

Seeing the bird droppings hidden behind the sofa, Ao Muyang was very angry. The queen actually defecated here secretly, and he didn't know how it squeezed in.

The official was still unwilling to give up, so Ao Muyang simply said: "Leader, I really didn't do anything illegal. After I rescued the Steller's sea eagle, it would occasionally come back, but I would not imprison it when it came back, and I had no intention of catching it and selling it for money."

A policeman said: "You'd better not touch it. There are very few wild birds like this. You have to keep it wild. If you touch it too much, it will feel comfortable staying with you..."

The official from the Agriculture and Forestry Bureau winked at him: "Old man, stop embarrassing yourself. The Steller's sea eagle is not a budgie. This bird will not be moved by people's small favors. Even if someone feeds it fish, it will not stay."

No evidence was found that Ao Muyang had captured and imprisoned the Steller's sea eagle, and the group drove away unhappily.

After this incident, Ao Muyang lost his good impression of Deng Taihang.

Deng Taihang did not come to him again. He stayed in the fishing house, occasionally went out to sea to fish, or went to school to play football with students, and usually visited the villagers. He became familiar with the village in a few days.

As Ao Fugui said, his purpose was to get close to Lu Zhizi.

Facing Feng Mulong, Lu Zhizi could directly put on a posture of keeping people at a distance, but she was not like that when facing Deng Taihang. She changed to a polite contact, but it was limited to etiquette and did not develop further.

Deng Taihang was patient. He lived in the fishing village, greeted Lu Zhizi every day, gave her a small gift, and then did his own activities. He would also participate in the activities in the village, and contributed money and effort, winning the favor of many people.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

This is the first large-scale traditional festival after the Chinese New Year. For fishing villages that attach importance to customs, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is even more important. In addition to watching lanterns and setting off fireworks, there are also local activities such as setting off boat lanterns.

Almost from the 13th day of the first lunar month, two or three days before the Lantern Festival, every household began to make boat lanterns, which are small bamboo boats or paper boats, with candles on them as lights, and then put them into the sea.

Ao Muyang made a small boat with wooden boards and kraft paper. After he saw the Fu boat, he went online to find the method of making the Fu boat, and made this boat lantern together with Lu Zhizi.

The boat responsible for carrying the lantern is half a meter long. The whole is made of foam board and wooden boards, fixed with glass glue and sealant, which is light and sturdy.

The mast of the boat is hung with a sail made of kraft paper. Lu Zhizi showed her calligraphy, on which a line of poetry was written in cinnabar: Where the lights are dim.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, the fishing village became lively.

The children set off fireworks, and the night sky became colorful with the sound of firecrackers.

In the square of Hongyang City in the distance, the annual fireworks show began, and half of the night sky became colorful, as if the starry sky was blooming flowers.

The fishermen go to the seashore in family units, carrying boat lights.

This boat lantern activity is a series of activities. First, worship the goddess of the sea, make wishes and pray to her, then the fishermen's families bring dumplings, and after the fishermen make wishes, they eat "dumplings on the boat", which indicates a smooth year.

Ao Muyang had no family members, and he wanted to ask Ao Xiaoniu to send him dumplings. When Lu Zhizi found out, she took the lunch box away and said, "I'll do it for you."

Hearing her say this in a generous manner, Ao Muyang felt sweet in his heart and said, "Then you can decorate more. I think I'll have a good appetite tonight."

The two were walking towards the village entrance with the boat lantern. Deng Taihang came over and waved with a smile: "Azi, are you going to put the boat lantern?"

The smile on Lu Zhizi's face suddenly became polite, and he said, "Yes, look, how about the boat lantern that Brother Muyang and I made together?"

"Not bad, you are really clever." Deng Taihang smiled slightly, then looked at Ao Muyang and said, "Mr. Ao, can you step aside for a while? Leave some privacy for me and Azi."

Ao Muyang shook his head and said, "No."

Deng Taihang was almost choked by his straightforward words.

He coughed and said patiently: "It's like this, Mr. Ao, I have something private to say to A Zi, and it may not be appropriate for you to be here."

Ao Muyang blocked his ears and said: "I can't hear anything."

Deng Taihang thought he had a good temper, but he had the urge to hit someone at this time.

He took a deep breath, focused his eyes on Lu Zhizi, and said affectionately: "A Zi, I may leave here soon, there are some things I need to go back to deal with..."

Lu Zhizi said considerately: "Well, I know you are very busy, I wish you all the best."
