Chapter 121 You're in such a good mood now, you don't even care about your scandals anymore?
Yan Sui had been watching the live chat and hadn't paid any attention to the ducks that were happily eating.
Looking down, I saw two animals with long beaks and thin legs had somehow gotten mixed in with the flock of ducks.
Fu Yansheng took out his phone to check and found that these two were also first-class protected animals.
"Black Stork".
[Wow, I'm amazing! I actually saw a black stork!]
My uncle spent three months staking out the wetland park before finally managing to photograph a single black stork. I heard they're very solitary and timid, and difficult for humans to approach!
[Barring any unforeseen circumstances, these two should be a pair.]
【Sui Sui! I'm kowtowing to you. Please come closer, I want to record a screen recording.】
Yan Sui naturally wouldn't refuse. She moved quietly, sat cross-legged on the platform, and took out a few palm-sized shrimp from her pocket and tossed them over.
The two black storks froze, seemingly observing Yan Sui.
Seeing that she hadn't hurt him, he started eating the shrimp.
Yan Sui looked up at Fu Yansheng, her eyes sparkling.
"They ate it, you should try it too."
Fu Yansheng put on gloves, grabbed a crucian carp, and tossed it over.
One of the black storks tilted its head back and caught the crucian carp, its long beak biting into it as it slowly swallowed it.
They threw it again, caught it again, and ate it with great joy.
Until Song Yuxia appeared and called out, "Yan Sui!"
Startled, the black stork took flight before she could get close, disappearing into the dense lotus leaves.
Song Yuxia was startled; this didn't look like a duck at all.
She quickly walked over and saw, "Why are there so many ducks? There were only two before!"
Yan Sui said speechlessly with a blank face, "Yeah, those two are really loyal, they even invited their brothers and sisters to eat together."
Song Yuxia couldn't help but laugh. Free, long-term meal tickets—why not take advantage of it?
"Why don't we just raise a fishpond? Otherwise, it would cost a lot of money to buy fish and shrimp at the market every day."
Yan Sui: "We'll see. Who knows when they'll get tired of eating here and leave."
Looking at the ducks, Song Yuxia almost forgot why she had come.
"By the way, a few people claiming to be from a wildlife rescue center came to our village, saying that someone reported you for illegally capturing wild animals."
Yan Sui asked in surprise, "You arrived so quickly?"
"You know someone reported it? Who could be so shameless? Diamonds and Spades came here on their own, trying to freeload. Is that illegal?"
Yan Sui shook her head. "Where are they?"
"Your uncle is receiving them."
“Sister Yuxia, just have them come to the lotus pond. There’s nothing to hide.”
Song Yuxia nodded, "Luckily we have surveillance cameras here, otherwise it would be hard to explain."
The surveillance footage clearly shows how she discovered the diamonds and spades, and how she saved them from injury.
Yan Sui waved at the camera, "The staff from the rescue center are here, I'm going to end the broadcast now."
[Ahhh, no! It's only been airing for a short time.]
【I really don't have time to argue with you guys. Do you know how rare it is for Sui Sui to air her show?】
Why did you end the stream? Are you feeling guilty?
[...]
Yan Sui touched her nose. "Okay, I won't end the broadcast."
She set up her phone nearby so they could watch the ducks eat.
Soon after, people from the rescue center arrived.
"Hello Ms. Yan, I'm a staff member at our wildlife rescue center. You can just call me Xiao Zhao."
Although Xiao Zhao was greeting Yan Sui, his eyes were fixed on a flock of mergansers eating rice.
Yan Sui extended her hand and said, "Hello."
Police officer Yu was also present, as he had also received a tip-off call.
“We’ve checked the security footage and know that you rescued the two Chinese Mergansers that were bitten by the leopard cat. Don’t worry, we’re just here to find out what happened.”
Yan Sui nodded. "It's a pity that those two black storks have already flown away, otherwise you could have said hello to them."
Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "You have black storks here?"
“Yeah, I just found out too. I’ll take you home later to watch the security footage,” Yan Sui said.
Xiao Zhao hurriedly asked, "Can we walk around the neighborhood? We mainly want to collect some samples to take back for testing, to check the soil and water quality."
The presence of Chinese Mergansers indicates that the environment around the lotus pond is quite good.
If the environment is not suitable for their growth, the rescue center will consider relocating them.
Yan Sui naturally had no objection. "Netizens misunderstood that I illegally captured wild animals, and I need to clarify this. You don't mind if I do a live stream, do you?"
Xiao Zhao waved his hand, "Miss Yan, please feel free to do as you please."
Yan Sui took off her phone and followed behind them, watching them busy themselves.
Xiao Zhao occasionally chatted with her, "Miss Yan, your lotus pond hasn't been sprayed with pesticides, has it?"
"No."
"Your lotus flowers are growing very well."
Suddenly, Xiao Zhao gestured to his two colleagues and then squatted down mysteriously.
Yan Sui leaned forward, holding her phone. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Zhao pointed to a spot and said, "Look, there's a nest of eggs over there."
Yan Sui looked in the direction of her hand and saw that it was indeed a nest of eggs.
Where is it? I can't see it.
[It's partially obscured by a lotus leaf in the upper left corner of the phone screen.]
Are these eggs laid by the Chinese Merganser?
It's possible that these months are indeed their breeding season.
Yan Sui adjusted the angle so that everyone could see it more clearly.
Just as everyone was quietly observing, there was movement near the nest of eggs.
A mallard duck appeared.
Xiao Zhao excitedly grabbed Yan Sui's arm, "It's a Baer's Pochard!"
With a bluish-green metallic sheen on its head and white irises, it is a male duck.
[666, another duck destined for a life of jail.]
Its eyes are white; it looks so innocent and cute.
[The male duck is like this; the female duck's iris color is slightly different.]
[Now that's enough to prove Yan Sui's innocence, isn't it? Where did she get so many protected animals to raise?]
There's only one answer: the lotus pond in Yan Sui has a good ecological environment, attracting wild animals to inhabit it.
After strolling around the lotus pond, they also spotted two herons.
Yan Sui also inadvertently recorded a video of a Northern Longtail Tit on her phone, a fluffy little chubby bird that was especially cute.
Finally, Xiao Zhao and his group concluded that "the lotus pond has a good ecosystem, which attracts wild animals to inhabit it. Since there are no fences around it, there is no illegal capture or captivity."
However, this is only a preliminary assessment, and the final result will only be known after they issue a sample report.
[The haters got their comeuppance, didn't they? They can't live without criticizing Sui Sui for a day.]
[Who can understand the allure of Yan Sui's lotus pond for a bird photography enthusiast? I'm already ready to go.]
Too many people can damage the ecosystem, so let's not disturb them.
[But these are lotus flowers planted by Yan Sui. We'll need to harvest the lotus flowers and seeds eventually, otherwise how will we make money?]
Yan Sui watched as the live stream started arguing again and said with a smile, "There are boardwalks and stone bridges over the lotus pond, which are still under construction. As long as you don't damage the lotus flowers or disturb the habitat of wild animals, everyone is welcome to come to Changqing Village for a vacation."
She held a stabilizer and wandered around the area around Changqing Village.
"Our village has a century-old temple called Longguang Temple, which is very effective for praying for wealth and marriage. There are four century-old ginkgo trees in the temple. In autumn, the mountains are covered with red maple leaves, which contrasts beautifully with the golden ginkgo leaves. The road leading to the ancient temple has been under construction. Everyone is welcome to come to the village to enjoy the autumn scenery."
"This area is full of sunflowers, and they are expected to reach their peak bloom in August."
Wow, what a huge field of sunflowers!
[Does this mean I should go to Changqing Village in two months to see both lotus flowers and sunflowers?]
Changqing Village isn't far, but it seems there are no hotels or guesthouses nearby, making it inconvenient for eating and lodging.
[Springtime brings peach blossoms, summer brings lotus flowers and sunflowers, and autumn brings ginkgo and red maple leaves—what an enchanting place!]
[Sobbing, as someone from Changqing Village, I'm so touched to see more people knowing about our village!]
Yes, Longguang Temple has a history of several hundred years, but due to its inconvenient transportation, only locals know about it.
I haven't been home for several years, and seeing that the wasteland in the village has been put to good use is truly gratifying.
Yan Sui took her phone and walked around Changqing Village for a while before saying goodbye to everyone and ending the live stream.
She gazed at the vast fields in the distance, just as she had.
Watching the barren fields gradually come back to life, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
“Mr. Fu, you may not believe it, but I initially returned to the village to retire.”
Fu Yansheng smiled gently, "I believe you."
When she first came to Changqing Village, she would never sit if she could lie down, and she would never stand if she could sit.
Even now, many people in Changqing Village still call her lazy.
Yan Sui turned her head and said, "Mr. Fu, a batch of my peaches has ripened, and I can give you priority to reserve them."
Fu Yansheng knew she wanted to access the link, so he didn't ask for more.
"Just leave me 100 jin (50 kg)."
"OK."
Yan Sui was talking to him when she suddenly received a call from Jiang Yeling.
"You're trending again!"
Yan Sui said smugly, "I know, it's good to be on the trending topics, it'll also promote our Changqing Village."
Jiang Yeling: "?"
"You're so relaxed now, you don't even care about your past scandals anymore?"
Yan Sui: "...What dirt do I have on me?"
"You Min is up to her old tricks again. Take a look for yourself."
