Chapter 237: Canglong and Phoenix
When Ye Zhou was excited about his arrival at the H-20, there was another person in Sichuan and Shu, but the reason why he couldn't sleep was different from Ye Zhou.
This person is named Wang Chao. He is a photography enthusiast, or to put it more accurately. He is a wild bird photographer, commonly known as bird photographer.
Wang Chao doesn't like this title very much because every time he attends a party of the Provincial Photographers Association, he introduces others, saying "This is who is who, who is who is who, who is who is who, who is who is who, who is who is a documentary photographer", "This is more powerful, who is a field photographer", but when he talks about him, people always say lightly: "Oh, this, this is Wang Chao, who is famous for taking birds."
More than once, after the host introduced him, the people around him had to ask, "Is he a nude photographer?" Every time he explained that he was photographing a real bird, the kind that could fly if he had feathers.
However, no matter how he explains it, his works and words always seem a little pale and powerless.
He has photographed the red-crowned cranes, a national first-class protected animal, which is the kind learned in elementary school texts; he has also photographed the goshawks hunted on the grassland, and the hideous sense of power made him feel moved; he has also photographed the vultures on the top of the snowy land, and found a beauty that transcends life and death in them.
However, he always felt that this was not enough.
He always feels that other people have photographed and expressed the things he has photographed.
Beauty is beautiful, but it's still a bit less meaningful.
What exactly is this meaning?
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but fortunately, a recent news inspired him.
In a mountainous area in Sichuan and Sichuan, a group of Chinese pheasants have been very active recently.
In the descriptions of some other enthusiasts, this group of pheasants is like elves in the mountains, often strolling on the treetops, contrasting with the colorful vegetation, just like the legendary phoenix.
Phoenix?
Isn’t this the “bad meaning” I’m looking for?
Wang Chao immediately decided to go into the mountains to find the traces of the Chinese pheasant. He had even prepared to stay in the mountains for half a month in advance. If he could not take photos of his satisfactory photos this time, he would wait until his physical strength could no longer hold on.
For this reason, he specially pulled his wife. The two carried 40 kilograms of supplies and equipment. After taking a bus to the mountains, they trekked between the mountains for two days, rested several times in the middle before finally reaching the scheduled shooting location.
If both of them had not maintained the habit of long-term exercise, such high-intensity off-road would have been unbearable.
Now it is the 10th day they are squatting. They have already set up a temporary camp at the shooting location. Their daily life is to stare at the camera with a telephoto lens and rest and cook next to them.
They dare not make fires when making fires, but they have prepared simple solar stoves to store energy in one day, and there is no big problem with eating a hot noodles at night.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was gradually setting in the west. Wang Chao was still staring at the camera, waiting for the appearance of the Chinese Golden Phoenix.
In the past few days, he has caught the figure of the Chinese pheasant three times, but each time they appear is too short, and the photos they take are also dissatisfied with, so he has survived to this point.
The wife beside her had already cooked noodles. She carried the lunch box with her chopsticks and walked to Wang Chao, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Come on, have a meal first, I'll keep an eye on you."
Wang Chao shook his head and replied:
"You eat first. You have a bad appetite these two days, so you should eat more hot ones. If you can't take pictures tomorrow, let's go down the mountain. No matter how important this photo is, it is not as important as your body."
The wife put the lunch box next to him with some amusement, then sat cross-legged and said:
"I'm just tired of eating dehydrated foods, so it's not that serious! I finally came here and took photos. If I didn't take satisfactory photos, you wouldn't be willing to do so."
"Don't worry, I have a clear understanding of my body. It wasn't harder to accompany you to find eagles in the Great Gobi Desert back then? I'm not doing well yet."
Hearing this, Wang Chao felt a little guilty.
He picked up his wife on the road. When he went to Northern Xinjiang to collect folk songs, he happened to meet his wife and his group who also went to Northern Xinjiang for inspection. He took a fancy to this heroic girl at a glance, and stayed in the archaeological team as a photographer with the team. Every day, he would pester each other and chat with each other. After an investigation, the two finally got together.
Mo Feng, this girl under 30 is indeed like the strong wind blowing in the desert, wandering around, but it is fascinating.
But now she has a home.
Not only did he have a home, but he even had to run around with him when he finally had no project in the archaeological team to take a long vacation every year to realize his seemingly illusory pursuits.
Wang Chao's eyes were a little astringent, and he gently pinched his wife's shoulder and said:
"You have worked hard with me in the past few years. Don't worry, after I take a satisfactory photo, I will stop doing this. I will switch to commercial photography honestly and make money well. We should have a child."
Mo Feng shook his head and replied with a smile:
"Aren't you quite profitable now? You earn tens of thousands of dollars by shooting birds, which is much more than I earn in the next field."
"That's not enough! I want to give you all the best things in the world. After I make enough money, what villas, swimming pools, massage rooms...... I will all arrange them for you."
Mo Feng was holding a telescope in his hand and scanning the mountains opposite. When she heard Wang Chao's words, she felt a little funny.
Are men like this?
They always feel that women want things to be a stable and comfortable life, but in fact, if they really want those things, they will not join the archaeological team from the beginning, and they will not be able to know the man in front of them.
She was about to explain, but a hint of red suddenly appeared in the telescope's vision.
Mo Feng's expression turned up and subconsciously lowered his voice and said:
"Here you come!"
Wang Chao, who was standing by, quickly threw down his lunch box and walked to the camera. After constantly adjusting the magnification of the telephoto lens, he finally caught the red.
----No, not just red.
Instead, the mountain elves with a crown on their head, a jade neck, and a fiery red body like flames. They dragged the long-tailed golden brown color!
He continued to adjust the focal length excitedly, and then was surprised to find that there was far more than one pheasant that appeared in the camera this time.
"It's OK this time, I'll count... 7, no, 8. Not right, wow! More and more! Wife, are they opening a party here today? So many!"
"I saw it too, at least twenty, with male and female. Is this... a courtship?"
"It is possible that it is almost the courtship season for the Chinese Golden Phoenix. Please help me watch the view frame and I'll find the angle."
"Okay, you can concentrate on finding it, I'll show you the view frame."
After receiving his wife's response, Wang Chao began to concentrate on adjusting the focal length. The camera kept surfing among the elves in the mountains, taking one beautiful photo after another.
If you continue shooting like this, you will probably finish work today?
Wang Chao thought to himself.
However, just in the gap between him adjusting the camera, he suddenly discovered something strange appeared in the vision.
That was a black spot.
A black dot that is suspended in the air, with a irregular shape, and a faint blue light.
"Wife, take the high-power mirror and see if there is a ufo in the sky over there? Just a little bit next to the tallest pine tree on the top of the mountain."
Hearing this, Mo Feng immediately set up a high-power mirror. After seeing it, she answered:
"It seems to be a ufo. I can't see clearly this shot. It's too far away. But it's not like an airplane. There is no airplane hanging in the air... I saw fire spitting under it."
"Can it be a newly developed aircraft? Is there a military base nearby?"
Mo Feng shook his head.
"I haven't heard of it! If there is really a military base, we can't get in. Could it be that we flew from another place? But we fly in the mountains and cannot move... I really don't know what this is."
Just as they began to try to point the camera at the aircraft, the two of them suddenly discovered that the flames at the bottom of the UFO had disappeared.
Then, it seemed that in a blink of an eye, the contour of the aircraft began to amplify at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"I'll go! What a plane! Wife, what kind of plane is this?"
"You ask me who will I ask? Wait, you remove the camera first, you can't take pictures of this thing!"
Wang Chao nodded, started operating the camera lens and turned back to the area where the Chinese golden pheasants were, and then answered:
"If I don't shoot it, I'd better shoot my bird..."
"No, it flew over!"
With Mo Feng's exclamation, Wang Chao subconsciously looked at the view frame, and then, in the view frame of the small aperture lens, he saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.
The strange aircraft came across thousands of mountains with the sound of thunder and loud sound. Its flight trajectory was almost tightly attached to the treetops above the mountain. The dazzling blue light lit up at its tail, and its outline became larger and clearer.
Then, just a few seconds before flying to the mountain opposite them, the aircraft suddenly rose up at an incredible angle, and a noun learned from a movie flashed through Wang Chao's brain.
Cobra maneuver.
But, it's not just a simple cobra maneuver.
After climbing to a certain height, the plane began to fall like fallen leaves. At a certain moment, Wang Chao almost thought it was an operational error and was about to crash.
However, just one second after this idea was born, a huge flame ejected from the tail of the plane again. In the blue flames, more than 10 dazzling auras flashed with thrilling light.
