"Tenant...guest?" Tang Yuanming's face was full of confusion.
The people around him didn't quite understand what Professor Du said.
"Yes, it's the tenant. Look carefully at what's on top of the Davidia involucrata."
Professor Du looked at the Davidia involucrata tree across the river with an obsessed look on his face, with a strange light in his eyes.
After hearing Professor Du say this, everyone looked towards the group of Davidia involucrata trees, staring intently with their eyes wide open.
While everyone was talking, Jiang Che had actually already seen something on the tree opposite.
There are seven bird nests scattered on the branches of dozens of Davidia involucrata trees covered with white flowers, and there are several pure white birds in the nests.
The bird has a long, black, curved beak, a touch of red on its head, and a few feathers behind its head. Its body is slender and graceful, and it is very beautiful.
As for the names of these birds, Jiang Che was really not sure for the moment. They looked like geese.
As for why Mr. Tang and others didn't notice it for a while, it was understandable. After all, these Davidia involucrata trees were full of flowers that looked like white wings, and there were a few white birds hidden in them. It was really hard to find them without looking carefully.
"Hiss, I saw it, it seems to be..."
"Girl, please help Grandpa take a closer look and describe the appearance of the bird inside me, quickly!"
Old Master Tang opened his eyes wide as if he saw something, but his eyesight had deteriorated a little due to his age.
Mr. Pan and Mr. Sun also noticed something, but they were not sure.
Professor Du stood aside, looking at his old friend's surprised expression with a half-smile.
"Okay, Grandpa, let me take a closer look."
"The bird has white feathers and a long, curved black beak. The part where the beak meets the head is red. The neck feathers are grey and the legs are red."
Tang Tian also narrowed her eyes slightly and looked very carefully.
Song Tianxing stood by and quickly picked up the camera hanging around his neck and focused on the Davidia involucrata in the distance to take a picture.
"Grandpa, look at this photo I took. Can you recognize it?"
After Tang Tian finished speaking, Song Tianxing took a lot of photos and immediately sent them to the three old men and asked.
"Let me see, if it's true that would be incredible!"
Mr. Tang and the other two quickly took the camera and started looking at it. After hearing Tang Tian's description, they basically already had the answer in their minds.
The clear photos taken with the SLR camera further confirmed their guess.
"Oh my god, it really is a crested ibis. How could there be a crested ibis here?!"
"Aren't they said that all crested ibis live in Shaanxi Province? Why are there some here too?"
Tang Yuanming exclaimed, looking at Professor Du in disbelief.
The red-crowned crane is a national first-class protected animal and is even on the world's red list of protected species.
Professor Du was very pleased with the surprise on the faces of Mr. Tang and the others.
The red-crowned cranes here were also discovered by them by accident, using a drone when they were chasing a poaching gang last time.
I originally only saw the Davidia involucrata, but I didn't expect that there were also red-crowned cranes living on it.
"Old Tang, you're wrong. Shaanxi Province is indeed the world's largest base for protecting crested ibis."
"But there are still a small number of wild crested ibises living in the wild, and these few crested ibises must be part of the remaining wild population."
"I've carefully inspected the ecological environment of Huaxi these days and found that the natural environment here is very superior, with clear water, lush vegetation, and abundant resources, which is very suitable for the survival of the crested ibis."
"This is a great discovery, Old Tang. I've already reported the news. If the road hadn't been blocked, someone would have come here long ago. That's why I'm here. You won't be able to see it even if you want to."
Professor Du said with a smile that when he discovered these populations of red-crowned cranes, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep that night.
Moreover, after this news was reported, the higher-ups also attached great importance to it. I'm afraid that it won't be long before someone comes to take over the affairs here.
"It's really amazing! Huaxi Village is truly a place of great beauty and has all sorts of good things!"
Tang Yuanming sighed, thinking about the vegetables planted by Jiang Che and the wild Tianyi Dutch flowers dug up in the mountains.
Including the clever little animals raised by Jiang Che, none of them are simple.
Mr. Tang is even more concerned about establishing a flower research center in the village.
With such a good natural environment in Huaxi Village, it will definitely bring him huge benefits.
"Old Du, you're really lucky! These two great discoveries have really made you look bad in the industry, right?"
Tang Yuanming looked at Professor Du with a smile. His old friend had made such great achievements even when he was about to retire.
After retirement, he will probably be able to leave his name on it, which means his hard work will not be in vain.
"Oh, what's the point of showing off? We're all retired now, let the opportunity go to the young people."
Professor Du shook his hand indifferently, then looked at Chen Yufei, who was observing the red-crowned crane not far away, with great admiration.
Tang Yuanming smiled and nodded. It seemed that his old friend was preparing to add qualifications to his favorite student.
I guess this girl will be in charge of this protected area next time?
As they were talking, several adult red-crowned cranes fluttered their wings and flew out one after another from a Davidia involucrata tree in the distance.
The underside of its wings is pink, it has a slender body, a red head, and a few flowing feathers on the back of its head. It soars above the green mountains and green waters, looking even more ethereal.
After Song Tianxing knew that this was a red-crowned crane, he never took off his SLR camera.
People were taking pictures of the Davidia involucrata tree crazily. Such a precious scene is not something that ordinary people can see.
Just as the red-crowned crane took off, Song Tianxing's camera almost started to produce sparks.
The red-crowned crane circled for a while and then flew to the swamp downstream of the waterfall to find food.
"It's so beautiful! It's worthy of the title of auspicious bird. It's worth the trip, it's worth the trip!"
Seeing the red-crowned crane flying away, Tang Yuanming and others clicked their tongues and spoke with a lingering feeling.
Jiang Che also watched the red-crowned crane fly away. He guessed that it would be difficult to get close to here in the future!
How come I didn’t realize before that there were precious plants like Davidia involucrata growing here? Not to mention it looks really beautiful from a distance.
It would be great if I could find a few seeds and plant them in the space. The more I think about it, the more I think this method is feasible. I'll just come over here when no one is around.
"Okay, that's enough everyone, let's go back."
The crested ibises have all flown away, and there's nothing left to see, said Professor Du.
So everyone started to return the same way.
Along the way, Jiang Che was thinking, the village will have an additional wildlife protection station in the future, will this affect his next plan?
After all, the people who will come are all technical experts. When they see their vegetables, they will definitely study them thoroughly, right?
But there is no other way. We can just put the blame on Mr. Tang and the other three.
After all, this was agreed upon before, and the flower research center must be built quickly.
