【269】 Bird disaster
As the calendar turns to March, with the spring thunder and spring rain falling one after another, the spring in Ginkgo Village begins to come.
Compared with the monotonous scenery of winter, the plants and trees that began to sprout, the insects and animals that woke up from the sleeping period added more abundant elements to early spring. After the spring rain stopped, under the bright spring light, the temperature in Ginkgo Village also increased day by day, and people began to change into thick winter clothes and put on light spring clothes.
Compared with the monotonous and rustic dresses in previous years, the villagers of Ginkgo Village have now undergone great changes in their dressings, either pretty or fashionable brand-name clothing has appeared in the village one after another. After solving the problem of food and clothing, the villagers have higher pursuits for life.
The continuous influx of a large number of tourists has also given villagers more learning. References, backward and ignorant villagers are quickly connecting with the cutting-edge of the times.

After the grazing work of Jinghu Ranch started, Jinghu Company also launched various tourism projects related to Jinghu Ranch, and some projects that were interrupted due to heavy snow and weather were also resumed one after another.
Now, when tourists come to Jinghu Scenic Area, in addition to not being able to go into the mountains to hunt, they can basically enjoy most of the services of Jinghu Scenic Area, and the popularity of the scenic area is gradually heating up.
After March, the Beijing Huihuang Travel Agency also restarted the Beiping-Ginkgo Village tourism route. Every other day, a tour group will come from Peiping. Of course, Ginkgo Village is not the only destination for the tour group. The rich tourism resources in northwest Yunnan are also an important weight for travel agencies to attract tourists.
However, the scenery, quietness and various delicacies of Ginkgo Village still left a very deep impression on tourists from Peking and North China. Even many elderly tourists decided to live in Ginkgo Village for a long time, which shows the unique charm of Ginkgo Village.
…………
Today is Sunday, Nini doesn’t have to go to school, and Xu Mengyao can’t go to work. Xiao Feng simply moved two Grand Master chairs to the dam to make tea and chat with Xu Mengyao, and enjoy the baptism of the warm spring sun.
Under Tongtong's leadership, Nini and Haoyu went to the old house to get around. Anyway, there were two guys, Baiyun and Heizu, who were bodyguards for them, so Xiao Feng didn't have to worry about safety issues.
After the rain, the colors of Ginkgo Village and surrounding areas also underwent tremendous changes. New buds began to emerge from the withered plants or gray, and tender green could be seen faintly on the black branches. The original royal blue Jinghu Lake seemed to have a hint of green on the surface, which gave people no longer so cold.
Of course, Xiao Feng also knew that it was not the best time for spring scenery in Ginkgo Village. Otherwise, he would have taken photos everywhere with his camera on his back. Where would he be lazy to bask in the sun on the dam?
Xiao Feng whispered to Xu Mengyao in one sentence. A few laughter like silver bells came from his ears, and a hint of satisfaction surged in his heart.
If life is like this, what else can we ask for?
"Dad. Mom!" Nini rushed out of the backyard with a trot and placed the things in her hand in front of Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao to present treasures.
Xiao Feng looked closely and found that the little guy was holding a small thorn in his hand. It turned out to be a hedgehog, and he didn't know where she got it.
"Dad, what is this?" Nini carefully put the small thorn ball on the coffee table and asked curiously.
For Nini, who is only in her early three years old, she obviously cannot connect the hedgehog in the pictorial reading and the small thorn ball in front of her. After seeing it in the backyard just now, Nini found that it could be rolled into a ball, so she naturally became curious.
"This is a hedgehog!" Xiao Feng smiled and opened the preschool education course on his laptop, pointed out the relevant pictures of the hedgehog, and explained some of the situations of the hedgehog to Nini.
Since there are a few children at home, they often ask some incredible questions, and Xiao Feng cannot just deal with the children. Therefore, he downloaded a lot of early childhood education, encyclopedia knowledge and other content on his computer to give the children a correct answer at any time. For example, these materials came in handy today.
"Dad, can we raise this little hedgehog?" Nini shook Xiao Feng's arm and looked at Xiao Feng with her cute big eyes.
For Nini, being able to roll a hedgehog into a ball was so amazing that she naturally wanted to keep it.
"Harve him? Xiao Feng suddenly had a headache. He thought about it and said, "The hedgehog originally lives in our backyard. We don't have to raise it especially. When Nini wants to see the hedgehog, she can go to the backyard!"
Hedgehogs do not have a high IQ like Wukong and others. They are a bit troublesome to raise, and they are not very good at interacting with humans, so Xiao Feng does not want to raise them. However, Xiao Feng still thought of a compromise method, which is to use the space spiritual spring to attract the hedgehog in the backyard, so that the children will not be too disappointed.
There are so many pets at home, so I guess Nini will forget all the hedgehog in a few days. Besides, hedgehogs can catch mice, and it is a good choice if they keep a hedgehog in the backyard.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. Xiao Feng took Nini and Tongtong dug a little winter at the foot of the mountain bag in the backyard, and also fed it a little space spiritual spring with a small porcelain bowl. Xiao Feng believed that with the space spiritual spring, it would naturally settle down in this small cave smoothly.
"Little hedgehog, you have to be good, Nini will come to see you tomorrow!" After leaving, the little guy was still reluctant to let it go, and gently touched the hedgehog's hard thorn and spoke to it.
Xiao Feng would not say to the child that hedgehogs could not understand human words, but just smiled and watched a few children say goodbye to the hedgehogs.

The hedgehog's awakening from hibernation is a sign of the revival of all animals in the entire Ginkgo Village. After a winter, all kinds of birds and beasts that were missing were not seen, appeared in people's sight overnight.
Now, every morning when the old lady feeds chickens in the backyard, there are always magpies, sparrows, tits, pugs and other birds that also mingle with them, free meals.
If it were the past, all the precious food would have to be used to feed chickens and ducks without being ruined by the birds. These uninvited guests would definitely not be welcomed. However, now the old lady doesn't care much about the loss of food, but instead looks at the chirping birds and feels much more festive.
To this end, the old lady would prepare more grains such as broken corn and rice every morning, and while feeding the chickens, she also let these free-to-eat guys have a full meal.
As time goes by, more and more birds are eating in the backyard. Not only is the number increased sharply, but there are also a lot of varieties.
Whiteheads, turtledoves, brown-backed shrikes,... More than a dozen common birds arrive in the backyard of Xiao’s family on time every day to enjoy delicious food and space spiritual springs.
Spring when all things are revived is actually a season of relatively scarce food. With such a place with sufficient food and delicious space, how can birds not flock to it?
These chirping birds have become the regular alarm clocks of the old Xiao family's house. They ring on time at 7:30 every morning, making the morning of the old house much more lively.
In fact, similar scenes also appear in all households in Ginkgo Village, birds from Qingling Mountain and even Jinghu areas flew into the village to have a meal.
If it were the past, the villagers would naturally try their best to get rid of these guys who took advantage of it, but the villagers of Ginkgo Village today would not take this little grain seriously.
Moreover, after more than a year of publicity by the village committee and Jinghu Company, the villagers also knew that protecting animals would bring great benefits to Ginkgo Village and Jinghu Scenic Area, so they would naturally not be disgusted with the arrival of these birds.
Therefore, tourists staying in various B&Bs and Inns will see the landlords feeding chickens and ducks every morning, which is very interesting.
Some tourists were jealous of them and had asked for millet, broken corn, etc. from the landlord's house. They feed the birds in the farm yard and enjoy the feeling of birds lingering around them.
Perhaps it is because of the abundant food, or perhaps because of the huge attraction of the space spiritual spring, there are more and more birds coming to Ginkgo Village, and the whole village has become a world of birds every morning.
The arrival of a large number of birds has made Ginkgo Village lively and added some interest to the lives of tourists and villagers, but they still brought a lot of trouble.
First of all, these guys are not hygienic models, and the habit of urinating and defecating anywhere will naturally not be changed just by entering the Ginkgo Village. When they fly in the air, UFOs often fall from the sky, just like German planes bombing London.
In recent days, many villagers and tourists have been bombed more than once, and are in a mess, especially those in the clothes drying outside, which are in a bad condition.
One day, the old man and grandfather were playing chess and tea on the dam, and were accurately hit by a ball of bird droppings from the sky, which made the two old men stunned.
As the number of birds entering the village increases, the flock of birds that were originally attracted by villagers and tourists has become a disaster.
The birds are not limited to the food that people feed, but the various items that villagers dry outside the house have become the targets of their waste and fun, making the villagers miserable.
Facing the surging flock of birds, everyone was caught off guard and did not dare to take action to eliminate them, and they fell into a stalemate for a while.
As time goes by, the birds have begun to affect the normal life of Ginkgo Village, because you don’t know when a ball of bird droppings will disturb your sweet world of two people; even when you are eating outside the house, you may be baptized by biological bombs.
As a last resort, the village committee had to convene a meeting of senior hunters, cadres and the management of Jinghu Company to discuss how to solve the current dilemma without hurting the birds.
After all, Ginkgo Village is in a booming stage today, and tourists cannot be affected by the overwhelming flock of birds.
Of course, it would be great if the harm of the bird flock could be transformed into benefits! (To be continued...)
