Return to the small mountain village in 1981

881-884end

Chapter 881 897: There is no coincidence in the world. The next morning, the children got up without being called. They consciously tied their trouser legs as required by the adults, put on rain boots, and went up the mountain with sticks.
Zhou Huaian carried Xiao Mi'er on his back, Zhou Jiaming helped them carry their guns, and Zhou Jialiang and others carried the food they needed to go up the mountain. They walked towards the pine forest in the morning dew and facing the rising sun.

Yang Chunyan saw a few red-bellied golden pheasants flying across the treetops with their long tail feathers, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Jiuer, "Son, look!"

"Wow!" Xiao Jiuer's eyes widened, "It's so beautiful! It looks exactly like the golden rooster in the New Year picture last time. Sister Mina, take a picture of it quickly."

"Great!" Zhao Meina quickly picked up the camera and pressed the shutter to take a picture. "I'm really lucky this time. I can see six or seven mushrooms. In the past, I could only see two or three at most when I was picking mushrooms."

Zhou Huaian took the gun from Zhou Jiaming's back and said to Xiao Mi'er in the basket: "Yaoyao, I'll give you a golden rooster!"

Xiaomier hugged his neck, "Daddy won't hit me! Feifei looks good!"

Xiao Jiuer said in a condescending manner: "Old man, it won't look so good if you kill it, and there's not much meat on a pheasant, so forget it!"

Zhou Xiaolong nodded, "Pheasant meat is not tasty at all."

Zhao Xiaochuan: "That's right. You see, they might be a family. It would be a pity to kill them!"

Zhou Huaian stroked his son and said, "Okay, okay, you are all good people. I won't be the bad guy. Hurry up and take a few more photos. You may not see them in the future."

Zhao Meina raised the camera in her hand and said, "Uncle Zhou, I've taken several pictures."

The golden rooster, scientifically known as Chrysolophus pheasant, has an elegant posture and light steps. The male golden rooster is about 1 meter long, with a golden silky crest on its head that extends all the way to its neck. It shines brightly in the sunlight.

Except for the dark green upper back, the rest of the upper body is golden yellow. The feathers are dazzling and colorful, and the feathers on the abdomen are bright blood red.

In comparison, the female golden pheasant, whose feathers are mainly black, brown and brown, looks much more monotonous.

The golden rooster's gorgeous tail feathers, which can be up to 75 centimeters long, were often used in ancient times to make extremely valuable pheasant tail fans, which were exclusively used by princes and nobles.

Some people now believe that the "phoenix" mentioned here is the red-bellied golden rooster. In addition, the red-bellied golden rooster was also embroidered on the robes of the second-rank civil officials in the Qing Dynasty.

The meat of golden chicken is tender and delicious, and the whole body can be used as medicine. It has the function of stopping bleeding and detoxifying, and is mainly used to treat blood hemorrhoids, carbuncles, swelling and poison, etc. Its beautiful appearance and medicinal value made it the object of illegal hunting, and it was later listed as a second-level wild protected animal in my country.

The sun had risen when the group arrived at the pine forest. Yang Chunyan and Wan Xuejiao found a flat place in the woods, took out the oilcloth and spread it out for everyone to rest.

Xiao Jiuer pulled Zhou Huaian and said, "Dad, let's go hunt wild goats."

Zhou Huaian rubbed him and said, "Aren't you picking mushrooms with your mother?"
