The ninth and forty-fifth chapter is a sensation, three birds and one leopard
"Li Han, why didn't you tell me earlier about the Crested Ibis in Lijiapo?" Hao Li complained. She failed to photograph the clouded leopard. Hao Li returned to the city and planned to wait for Professor Zhao to find something before coming over. Who knew that she had just received the news?
Li Jiapo discovered the crested ibis, which is a rarer animal than the clouded leopard.
"Sister Hao Li, how did I know that the little fish-stealing bird at home is actually a crested ibis, which protects animals." Li Han said with a bit of grievance.
"Okay, I guess I've wronged you. I'll go there right now." Hao Li is ready to leave at any time. The city and even the province have also received the news, but many people don't know where Lijiapo is.
.
Hao Li took advantage of this time and hurried back to Lijiapo. Fortunately, the rented place was not returned and some equipment was there. "Li Han, where is the crested ibis?" Hao Li shouted about the crested ibis as soon as she entered the yard.
When I walked in, I found that there were quite a lot of people in the yard, including quite a few foreigners, all of whom had slightly red faces, as if they had been drinking. "What day is it today?" "Aunt Hao Li, it's Dudu's birthday."
"It's Dudu's birthday, Li Han, why didn't you tell me earlier? I came here in a hurry and didn't even prepare a birthday gift." Hao Li looked embarrassed and there was nothing in her bag. "Dudu, this microphone is a gift for you.
, you can use it to sing and give speeches in the future." Hao Li opened it, saw the brand new microphone, her eyes lit up, and gave it to the villain.
"Wow, microphone, thank you, auntie." Dudu happily took it and opened it. "Baby sister." The sound was so loud that it frightened several crested ibises in the cage. They spread their wings and screamed, but it frightened Professor Zhao and others nearby.
You must know that such a small population of wild crested ibis is extremely rare now. It has not even been found in Anxi for many years. Li Han hurriedly stopped the little guy to stop causing trouble. He asked Professor Zhao. "Professor Zhao, are these crested ibis sent to China?"
Over there."
"No, we will mark these crested ibises and release them back into the wild," Professor Zhao said, his eyes shining brightly. He was in a very good mood.
Liu Hao, Zhang Xueqing, Lin Qing and others recorded the data, size, color, and characteristics. Li Han took a look and found the location, time, etc. "Professor Zhao, can you take some photos?"
When Professor Zhao saw it was Hao Li, he nodded slightly. Others didn't necessarily pay attention. Hao Li immediately nodded to the cameraman, turned on the camera and pointed it at the crested ibis, not even letting go of the kitten nearby.
"Kitten, don't run," Dudu shouted as he chased her. "Little kitten, you are running too fast. Dudu can't even keep up."
"Lin Qing, watch it and don't let it hurt the little ibis." Zhang Xueqing said. Lin Qing nodded and caught the little kitten.
The little kitten was caught. It struggled hard, but the little guy was very fierce and roared. "Dudu, your kitten is quite fierce." "Yes, Dudu picked it up."
The villain took the kitten and petted it. Professor Zhao glanced at the cat in Dudu's arms and was slightly surprised. "Kid, can I show this kitten to my uncle?"
"Well, uncle, take a look." Dudu raised his hand and held up the kitten and handed it to Professor Zhao.
"Professor, isn't this just an ordinary kitten? What's so good about it?" Lin Qing looked confused, and others also paid attention to this kitten.
"Professor, why does this pattern look a bit like leopard print?" Liu Hao was a little confused.
"That's right, it's not just the lines on the body, you can listen to its cry." Professor Zhao nodded slightly to Liu Hao, quite satisfied.
"Yes, the voice is so rough, not at all delicate like a cat's." Zhang Xueqing opened her mouth slightly.
Professor Zhao smiled and said, "Look, the centers of these markings are dark yellow and look like turtle back stripes. Although they are lighter, it is not difficult to see that they are quite different from ordinary cats."
"Is this really a little leopard cub?" Lin Qing was surprised. Why did the cat turn into a leopard in the blink of an eye?
"Haha, have you forgotten what we are here for this time?" Professor Zhao said, Liu Hao and others stared at the kitten in surprise. "Professor, is this a clouded leopard cub?"
"I think you are right. Take a look at the little thing's pupils, the black spots on its head and face, four of them. Compare them with the characteristics of the clouded leopard I told you." Professor Zhao said, nodding to Zhang Xueqing.
Zhang Xueqing took the clouded leopard from Dudu's hand and held it carefully. Liu Hao and others came around one by one, checking the head, tail, limbs, claws, and body color one by one. "Professor, you are right, this
What a clouded leopard cub."
All the students were very excited. Unexpectedly, this time they came to the mountain village, not only did they discover a rare wild group of crested ibises that had not been seen for many years, but they were also lucky enough to encounter a clouded leopard cub.
Equally excited, Hao Li, clouded leopard, the people on stage are not talking or playing the piano randomly now, this is a real clouded leopard cub. "Professor Zhao, is this really a little clouded leopard?"
"That's right, this is a little clouded leopard. It looks like he was born not long ago. I didn't expect to see a clouded leopard cub here." Professor Zhao said with joy on his face. During an inspection, he discovered that there are two types of clouded leopards.
Class-protected animals, this is something that many people never dare to think about, but they actually encountered it.
Lin Qing comforted Dudu, because the little kitten Dudu couldn't be raised anymore, and Dudu's mouth was bulging. Li Han stood beside him and said with a smile. "Since we are protecting animals, we must support the country, whether to release or keep them.
Listen to Professor Zhao."
"Thank you so much, Li Han, Dudu. Auntie will definitely buy you the most beautiful and cute kitten as a gift to you when you go back, okay?" Lin Qing comforted, and was about to wipe her nose when she saw Dudu.
"Well, Auntie, don't lie to me." Dudu rubbed her big eyes and pouted. "Auntie, if you don't lie to me, I will definitely choose the cutest kitten for Dudu."
"Okay." Dudu nodded his little head and glanced back. Seeing his father blinking, Dudu chuckled. Li Han shook his head helplessly. Professor Zhao and the others were probably here, Dudu
Du just thought about it.
Lin Qing comforted Dudu, breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to Professor Zhao to help Zhang Xueqing take care of the little clouded leopard. The little guy was not very honest and made trouble from time to time.
"What a naughty little thing.'
Hao Li said with a smile, turning to ask Li Han. "Li Han, when did you discover this little clouded leopard?" "Ah, a few days ago, Dudu and Baobao went out to play and picked it up.
, I was a little wildcat and didn’t pay attention.”
"Found it near the village?" Liu Hao was listening. Li Han was slightly stunned when he said that a young clouded leopard was found near the village. "That doesn't mean there are adult clouded leopards around here."
"Isn't this thing dangerous?" The fat man, who was a little high from his drink, stood on the edge for a while before he regained consciousness. "It's not that dangerous for adults, but it's more dangerous for children. Although clouded leopards are not considered large beasts,
They are carnivores after all.”
"This is too much to worry about. There are dogs in the village, and clouded leopards rarely come close to the village. This little clouded leopard may have accidentally got lost." Professor Zhao said, he has been studying clouded leopards these days.
No traces of clouded leopards were found around the village. Recently, some traces were found on the mountains nearly twenty miles away from the village. In the last photo, most of the clouded leopards were captured occasionally approaching the village.
"That's good. There are a lot of children in the village. If there is danger, they might go into the mountains to hunt." Li Han said, after all, no matter how precious animals are, they cannot be compared to people.
Liu Hao wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he couldn't blame the villagers. You know, in the past, they went into the mountains to hunt for wild beasts. At that time, all the wild beasts in the mountains were hunted.
Professor Zhao, after a group of people made a data file for the crested ibis, they changed the cage to a larger one. The clouded leopard was too small, so it had to be brought back to be raised first, and then released into the wild when it was larger.
"It would be even better if we could find the mother of the little clouded leopard." Lin Qing muttered in a low voice, grinning and making a little face. Even the little clouded leopard doesn't have a mother.
After everyone left, the courtyard was a little cleaner. Liu Ming was going back to the city, and he happened to be taking a few fat guys with him. Li Han led him, Dudu, and escorted them out, and returned to the courtyard. After a while, the village elder uncle,
Dian Dian came running. "Little Han, I heard that a rare protected animal was found in our village, and reporter Hao Li from the TV station wants to interview us."
"Yes, uncle, this time Professor Zhao and the others discovered the Crested Ibis and the Clouded Leopard, which have not been found in Anxi for many years. It will definitely be on TV." Li Han said with a smile.
"Now that's good, now that it's on TV, everyone in the city will know that we found protected animals here, and maybe they'll come and see the novelty." Li Pingzheng, with an excited look on his face, even spoke with a little vibrato.
"Little Han, do you think we are prepared? There may be too many people coming, so we need to plan the reception carefully." Li Pingzheng looked at Li Han.
"Uncle, we don't have any reception in our hotel or restaurant. It would be a surprise for others to come." No one in the village responded to what Li Han said last time. It's hard to say now.
"Hey, last time, if the houses were decorated as you said, it would be easier now. Xiaohan, how is the construction of your hotel going?" Li Pingzheng asked.
"It's almost ready. Worker Zhao and I have used all the machinery we bought from the United States, and it's very fast." Li Han said that the hotel was being built at almost lightning speed, with a full set of large-scale machinery put into operation.
Zhao Laosi smiled and said, this speed is something his construction team has never seen before. "That's good, that's good."
"Uncle, I plan to open the canteen first and decorate it. It doesn't need to be too complicated, it should be simple and plain." The Lihan Hotel is already halfway completed, and the canteen is being fully decorated.
In fact, when it comes to decoration, it is just cleaning up, laying bluestone floors, painting the walls, water and electricity, mountain spring water for water, and electric wires. They were previously developed and erected on the hillside outside the village, but there is no need to install them again.
"Today is Monday, and there are still a few days before the weekend. I estimate that the cafeteria will be about the same by then, and the rooms may not be available until next week." Li Han said.
"The canteen invites the second master, right?"
"I made an agreement with the three brothers from the Zhao family to come to work after two days," Li Han said.
Li Pingzheng was slightly surprised. You must know that Li Pingzheng had heard a lot about the three brothers of the Zhao family. Why did these three brothers say they were unwilling to go out to do work? Why did Li Han invite them when he invited them?
"In the village, everyone is thinking..." Li Pingzheng said, finally shaking his head.
"What's wrong, uncle, what's the matter?" Li Han looked confused. (To be continued)
