Chapter 176 A paradise in the eyes of city dwellers
Wang Hua has many years of shooting experience and has seen scenes like this.
The first reaction was to adjust the angle and start taking pictures of the deer in the distance.
In the past, during the process of capturing outdoor scenes, he might only be given one chance to capture the scene.
In the past, he often failed to take pictures of many things because he failed to seize the opportunity.
After taking a few pictures, you may feel that the distance is a bit far, so you want to get closer.
But as soon as he took two steps, he was pulled back by Wang Liya.
Wang Hua turned around and saw Wang Liya shaking her head at him.
"We can't go any further. Sika deer are timid by nature and will scare them away later."
"Okay, I'll take a few more pictures here, and then we go forward. It would be better if we can get a clearer picture. If we can't, it doesn't matter."
There was another click of the shutter, and the film in the camera became less and less.
"Look, what is that? It looks like a deer, but a little shorter."
Wang Hua hadn't even finished photographing the sika deer, but Li Lin discovered something new.
Not far away, two animals that looked like sika deer were also eating leisurely.
One of them had a big belly, and they knew immediately that it was a pregnant female.
"This is called a forest musk deer. I went to photograph it with my colleagues from the Forestry Bureau some time ago. It's the forest musk deer that can produce musk."
As a photographer for a news newspaper, Wang Hua often accompanies other colleagues to shoot outdoor scenes.
There were many animals that passed by him and he learned a lot about them.
"How good is the environment in Changqing Village? First it was a giant salamander sanctuary, and now we can see sika deer and the legendary forest musk deer when we enter a fruit forest."
This experience truly amazed several people.
"That's not all, look over there."
After Wang Hua finished photographing the forest musk deer, he then searched everywhere and found something different.
Following his fingers, everyone saw three people from Zhang An's family, mother and son.
"What is this thing? It looks so similar to a forest musk deer, but why is it so ugly?"
Wang Liya and Li Lin's first reaction when they saw Dahuang and the others was that this guy was so ugly.
"It's not ugly, I think it's quite stylish."
Wu Ming next to him didn't think the animal was ugly, he even thought it was a bit handsome.
"Wang Hua, what is this?"
Wang Hua shook his head helplessly when he heard several people asking him.
"I don't know about this, and I have never photographed this thing."
Even though he didn't know him, Wang Hua didn't let him go and took pictures for a while.
"You guys think, can we write a manuscript about what we saw today? I think it will definitely be published."
Wu Ming thought for a while and discussed it with several colleagues.
Such a large-scale private cherry blossom forest is a ready-made subject.
He had already had this idea in mind when he saw this mountain before.
Now that I have seen so many animals in this forest, this manuscript will definitely pass.
"I think this is a very good idea. It's like a paradise here."
Girls often can't refuse good-looking things, whether they are scenery or other things.
"Wang Hua just made so many films. Not only do we have the information, but we also saw it with our own eyes. We will write about it when we get back."
When several people heard Wu Ming's proposal, they just thought about it and made a decision immediately.
There are topics and materials, but if you don’t write, it will really be a waste.
After Wang Hua finished taking pictures of those animals, he took a few more pictures of the peach forest. Just before he had time to take pictures, the sika deer jumped in the queue.
Then a few of them returned the same way without disturbing the leisurely animals any further.
It's not that they don't want to be caught, but they know in their hearts that people like themselves cannot be caught at all, so they might as well not just become the bad guys.
After going down the mountain, several people did not rush to walk, but started chatting with Zhang An.
Although they saw those animals on the mountain, they didn't know anything about other things.
Now that you have decided to write a manuscript, you must be fully prepared.
The Zhang An family happens to live at the foot of this mountain, and even this forest belongs to the Zhang An family.
He must know something that few of him know.
"Hey, you guys are back."
Looking at the few people coming back from the mountain, Zhang An thought they would stay up there for a while.
"We'll be back after the filming is over. By the way, Zhang An, can we ask you something?"
Wu Ming will still talk to Zhang An, just like usual interviews.
"If you tell me anything, I will tell you if I know it."
"That's it, Zhang An. In your forest, we saw sika deer, forest musk deer, and an unknown animal. We want to learn about it with you."
Wu Ming first told Zhang An what he saw. He believed that Zhang An had lived at the foot of the mountain for a long time and must know these things.
Even if it's something he doesn't know, Zhang An should know it.
Then he told Zhang An that he planned to use what he saw today as material to write an article, which might be published in a newspaper.
Zhang An didn't understand it at first, but later he understood what was going on.
"Hahaha, so that's what happened."
It is estimated that what this group of people saw was the big flowers that came out of their enclosure.
This is free advertising that comes to you.
Only a fool would refuse such a good thing. Zhang An is not stupid at all, so he will definitely cooperate with them.
There is no Internet yet, so news and newspapers are the most direct methods of advertising.
"This is simple, just wait a moment."
Zhang An turned around and entered the pen room and found Xiaohu.
After patting it and pointing to the mountain, the little tiger ran up the mountain.
"Zhang An, there's no need to catch them. We just want to get to know them. We have no other intentions."
Several people thought that Zhang An was asking the big dog to go to the mountain to catch one and bring it back, and they became a little anxious at that moment.
Please explain to Zhang An quickly, there is no need to do this.
"Don't worry, I just asked the little tigers to drive them back. The animals you see are all animals raised in my home. You are willing to kill them, but I am reluctant to do so, hahahaha."
Hearing Zhang An say this, Wu Ming and others are now in a state of confusion.
What did Zhang An just say? They were all raised by Zhang An's family? No way.
They have seen artificially bred sika deer.
But whoever raises sika deer and just lets them out to play, isn't it afraid that they will run away with the bucket?
"No, Zhang An, are they really raised by your family? If they go outside, wouldn't they run into the mountains?"
Everyone still didn't believe it, mainly because it was a bit unbelievable.
"There's no point in lying to you. You'll know when they come back later."
After everyone waited in the yard for a long time, they began to hear noises and Xiaohu came back.
"Let's go, they're back."
Zhang An got up and led Wu Ming and his party to the pen house.
Wu Ming and the others entered the pen house, and sure enough they saw that the grass dam behind was full of the animals they had just seen.
They already believed a bit of what Zhang An said.
"Dahua, come here."
As Zhang An shouted, Dahua, who was still lowering his head, immediately raised his head and looked at Zhang An.
Then he walked up to Zhang An with elegant steps, and then rubbed Zhang An's hand.
"You see, they are really raised by me. Look, be more obedient."
Zhang An was stroking Dahua's smooth back while talking to a few people next to him.
"Then, Zhang An, can I touch it too?"
They couldn't believe it when they saw the sika deer acting so well in front of Zhang An.
Li Lin's eyes were now filled with little stars.
Sika deer, this is a sika deer, who wouldn’t like it?
"Okay, you can touch it if you want. The big flower is very good."
With Zhang An's permission, Li Lin stretched out her slender hands and stroked Dahua's back.
Dahua has long been familiar with this situation, although it has not yet reached the level of being touched by thousands of people.
But before and after, many people, big and small, have done something to it and taken advantage of it.
"Then can I do it too?"
Wang Liya saw that Li Lin had already started, and she wanted to follow suit.
"It's okay, just touch it and I won't charge you any money."
Zhang An's words made several people laugh.
The two girls were caressing the big flower tenderly. Wu Ming and Wang Hua next to them were really embarrassed to say this.
After the two of them touched it for a while, the big flower started to choke.
"Okay, Dahua said the time is up and I won't let you touch her anymore."
Hearing what Zhang An said, the two little girls took back their hands with a look of reluctance.
Zhang An patted the big flower and signaled it to go out.
"By the way, Zhang An, what are the three ugly animals over there?"
Li Lin hasn't forgotten the thing with four nostrils.
"You're talking about rhubarb. They're called muntjacs, which are a type of animal in the deer family."
As Zhang An said this, he called Da Huang, mother and son over, and gave them a good look.
While Zhang An was introducing them, Li Lin was taking notes.
"I didn't expect that these animals are all raised by your family. No wonder this house is so big. It should be for them to live in."
After Dahuang returned, Wu Ming began to look at Zhang An's house.
The inside is divided into many single rooms, which look like they are for these animals.
"Yes, this is their home. If you had been here last year, you might have known that my place is called a family zoo."
People who came to Changqing last year liked to come to Zhang An's house to see these animals.
The word spread more and more, and the food at Zhang An's was really delicious, so many people came here specially.
Although Zhang An's family has few animals, many people have never been to the zoo now.
Even if you go there, you still have to buy a ticket, but if you buy a ticket, you will have to watch it from a distance.
Although there are fewer animals at Zhang An's house, they don't charge money.
And you can experience it up close, which is much better than the zoo.
And many people who have been to the zoo don't really like the zoo.
Because the zoos in provincial cities these days are dirty and smelly, and the animals are all dirty.
It's not as refreshing as Zhang An's house, there's no smell, and the animals are also clean.
How could they not be clean? Zhang An would bring them into the space to take a bath from time to time.
Zhang An then took them to visit the enclosure.
First we came to the rabbit pen, where there were many rabbits.
Some are big, some are small, some are eating vegetables, and some are closing their eyes to meditate.
"This is my rabbit pen, which is full of rabbits I raised."
Zhang An pointed to these rabbits and said to them.
"By the way, let me give you an advertisement. Our family is a farmhouse, and the most delicious ones are the spicy local chicken and spicy rabbit made by my mother."
When Zhang An said this, Wu Ming and others understood.
No wonder Zhang An's yard is so big, and there are so many tables in the lobby of that house.
Then I walked one space to the side and arrived at the place where the golden rooster lived.
These golden roosters are now ready to moult, but they still look brown.
They were tired from running outside in the morning and now they are back to rest.
"Guess what this is."
Wu Ming and the others heard Zhang An ask. Although they didn't know why Zhang An asked, they still thought about it before speaking.
"Is this a kind of pheasant?"
Wu Ming looked at these chickens and they didn't look much like domestic chickens, but they had similar body shapes.
Therefore, any case that I don’t recognize is classified as a pheasant.
"Actually, they are a kind of bird. Have you ever seen a phoenix? Their complete body is covered with fiery red feathers and a long tail. They are the birds that look closest to the phoenix."
Upon hearing Zhang An's description, Wang Hua next to him was somewhat impressed.
"Zhang An, are you talking about those red chickens? I've photographed those before, but they don't look like this."
"That's right, it's the Golden Pheasant. It doesn't look like it to you now. That's because they have just been hatched for more than a month and haven't started to shed their hair yet."
Several people listened to the conversation between Wang Hua and Zhang An.
Initially, they didn't believe what Zhang An said, but after Wang Hua answered the question, they believed it.
Among this group of people, Wang Hua is the one who travels the most and has the broadest knowledge among them.
"It turns out that such a beautiful bird looked like this when I was a child, hahaha."
"That's for sure. Just like the ugly duckling, many beautiful animals didn't look very good when they were young."
When it comes to ugly ducklings, everyone almost understands that this is a rule of nature.
"By the way, Zhang An, what kind of pig is this? Why is it so small?"
Walking to Little Xiangzhu's room, Wang Liya pointed at Xiangzhu who was sleeping soundly on the floor and asked Zhang An.
"This is a fragrant pig, a piglet that my dad just bought a few days ago."
Seeing that several people didn't know Xiang Pig, Zhang An introduced Xiang Pig to them.
"By the way, the roasted suckling pig you usually hear people talking about is this pig."
Then Zhang An introduced the other rooms to them, and then took everyone to the yard to sit down and rest.
"You have so many animals at home. It doesn't look like many, but when you go in and take a look, you can see that there are quite a few. This zoo is really true."
Several people seemed to like animals, especially the two girls.
"Zhang An, did you buy all these animals in your home?"
After drinking some water, Wu Ming began to ask questions. Li Lin and Wang Liya next to him took out their notebooks and wrote down something.
"Not entirely. Except for the few fragrant pigs and native pigs that were bought, and the native chickens at home that were hatched by ourselves, the other animals are all indigenous residents of this mountain."
Hearing Zhang An's answer, Wu Ming was a little surprised. These were not bought.
