Chapter 297: 297. The male bird has a long tail feather_1
Xiaozu’s truly got a knack for politics, her heart is really… *cough cough cough*!
Anyway, after dinner, Song Youde regarded her as warmly and thoughtfully as he would his own granddaughter.
When she left, he was reluctant to see her go, standing at the door continuously calling out, “Co over for a al anyti… as early as tomorrow morning… don’t be shy…”
Boy, when Secretary Xiaozu walked away, her smile was stretching all the way to her ears.
Song Tan glanced into the living room and thought to herself that those two bottles of Maotai didn’t go to waste at all!
The next day, not long after 9 o’clock, people from the forestry bureau had already arrived at their doorstep in a car.
Two n ca, one looked to be in his thirties or forties, the other barely past twenty.
Zu Jun actually did co over for breakfast this morning, and the hearty al had her smiling sincerely and broadly. She wore a sharp outfit to et the visitors and after exchanging a few warm pleasantries, led them straight towards the back mountain.
There weren’t any pressing farm tasks at the mont, so everyone from Lao Song’s family went up the mountain to see what was so fascinating.
Qiaoqiao quickly started his livestream too.
His stream was the sa as usual, no change in the na and no fancy headlines, but the mont he went live, thousands of people flocked in, one after another, within less than 5 minutes.
To think, even before he started selling goods, he didn’t have this many fans!
He began selling products and ended up making himself popular. Where does that leave the rest of the small-ti strears on the platform who sell goods?
Seeing the strear finally go live, the fans were all but moved to tears.
[Once in a lifeti!]
[It’s so rare.]
[I thought I wasn’t even worthy of being harvested as a leek anymore. The strear made 20 bucks off
and then never paid
any mind again.]
[The one up front, don’t underestimate yourself. Don’t you ever repurchase?]
[Will there be a discount on the strear’s trella?]
[Strear, why is there no peach blossom available?]
[Strear, keep the cabbages coming! I want ten pounds!]
[The guy in front actually snagged so cabbages! I only managed to buy so garlic sprouts! Fried it with cured at and demolished it in one al.]
As the drift in the conversation in the chat beca more and more off-topic and the saliva from other viewers seed to be increasing, Qiaoqiao completely ignored the screen.
He turned the cara around: “Hello, kids! Today, I’m going to introduce you to a nationally protected species, the Reeves’s Pheasant.”
“The Reeves’s Pheasant laid eggs in our henhouse.”
“Today, we’re going to show it to you all.”
Boy, the strear doesn’t say much, but when he does, it’s astonishing!
[Reeves’s Pheasant laid eggs in your henhouse? Why don’t you say a giant panda wandered into your bamboo grove?]
[It’s not the sa, giant pandas are on a different level]
Xin Jun had been quietly following his student while also keeping an eye on the live stream. Seeing everyone doubting and curious, he quickly added:
[The two guys up front with the mosaic blur are from the forestry bureau, and they’re here today to verify this issue.]
Boy, this is the real deal!
The people in the livestream got excited—
But their focus was a bit off.
[Finally, soone will see our ssages!]
[Tears of joy! We fans have so status now!]
[Charge forward, show the Reeves’s Pheasant!]
[Drop the link! Drop the link!]
[Don’t you even try to bring that up!]
At this mont, the live stream cara was already focused on the two staff mbers observing the front chicken coop.
They were surprised, “You’ve raised these free-range chickens quite well.”
Running all over the hillsides, digging for stones and roots on the ground, they looked delicious—uh, I an, they appeared to lead very healthy lives.
“Where’s the Reeves’s Pheasant?”
The older one took the lead in approaching.
Qiaoqiao put down his phone at a vantage point, walked over, and pointed out the dark henhouse, “In there.”
To check on the state of the pheasant, a closer observation was necessary, but the hen house was too dark, hardly helped by a re flashlight!
“We can’t see the specific condition though!”
“Should we bring it out to take a look?”
Qiaoqiao asked.
The young man glanced at him, “Do you have a way?”
“Yes!” Qiaoqiao beca excited, then turned his head and called out, “Big White!”
With a “gah” sound, a little yellow-hatted big white goose erged from the bush, strutting over with an arrogant air, its beady eyes full of disdain for mortals.
Staff mber: …
They wanted to get a close look at the long-tailed pheasant, not a goose. But this goose does look strong; a pot probably wouldn’t be big enough to stew it…
At that mont, Qiaoqiao suddenly said, “Big White, fetch that wild chicken out for Uncle to see.”
Flapping its wings, Big White let out a “gah” and squeezed through the small door, familiar with the task.
Before long, it ca out proudly, short feathers of the wild chicken’s neck clamped in its beak.
“Holy shit!”
The young man blurted out without thinking, and the live stream quickly censored it.
But everyone was clearly stunned!
[So this is the Lu Bu among geese!]
[Last ti it bit that host’s boyfriend, I knew this goose was no ordinary goose!]
[What a spirited big fellow!]
[Wow, the village raises geese so smart!]
[Glancing at the dumb dog beside , I can’t help but smack it with a slipper.]
[Am I the only one focused on the long-tailed pheasant? It’s really beautiful!]
Exactly.
Not to ntion the mottled colors of its body, just by seeing the glossy shine on its long tail feathers, you could tell how healthy the long-tailed pheasant must be!
Looking at it, even though it had been undignifiedly carried out again, the chicken itself seed totally unfazed.
Now familiar with its surroundings, it scratched around in the feeding trough, then squatted down again in full view of everyone, utterly unfazed.
The two staff mbers were a bit overwheld.
Could it really be this ta?
Is it really not bred in captivity?
They tried to experint and found they could even hold the wings for a closer look!
Unbelievable!
However…
“This is a male bird, where is the female? Otherwise, how could it lay eggs?”
Everyone was taken aback.
Zu Jun couldn’t help but ask, “Is it a male bird?”
The staff mber nodded with certainty, “In nature, generally, the male animals evolve to be more beautiful for mating purposes, bearing more attractive fur or feathers.”
“The females, since they have the ability to reproduce, tend to look more unkempt. Like long-tailed pheasants, their female tail feathers are only about 30 centiters.”
“But don’t long-tailed pheasants usually have the females incubating the eggs?”
Taking out a tape asure to check—wow! This tail feather is 2.5 ters!
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.
Qiaoqiao, however, accepted it very quickly:
“Is it the dad that incubates the eggs? Do we need to find the mom to co see it too?”
The staff mber subconsciously replied, “Generally speaking, that would be the case…”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Qiaoqiao called out, “Da Wang!”
Whoosh!
A creature that looked like a lion leapt out from the trees nearby! Its sandy-brown fur shimred with a golden brilliance under the dappled sunlight of the woods. As it leapt forth, despite its fierce and robust appearance, it made no sound at all!
In the span of a few breaths, it had vanished over the mountain top!
