Chapter 83. What is this?

At around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the road paving work was in the final stage. Luo Yihang felt that there was no need to watch it all the time, so he went up to the stage.

I plan to see how my father Luo Cheng is doing.

The work on the platform is also progressing well.

The accumulated water in the field has been drained. The excavator that just came up is using its big claws to clean the water channel. Three workers are grunting and digging up trees in the field. Another worker is mixing cement with a shovel. This should be to repair the water channel.

Then, I saw a conspicuous bag.

This person looked very strange. He was just strolling in the field. He didn't walk around randomly, but was holding a stick and walking in circles, pushing aside the weeds. He did so in a very regular manner. I had no idea what he was doing.

The main problem was that he was not walking on Luo Yihang's field, but on the public field on the right.

strange?
Luo Yihang watched from the side of the road for a while, but couldn't figure out what he was doing.

Strolling to Luo Cheng's place.

Uh……

Luo Yihang was shocked.

NM what are these? ? ?
I saw Luo Cheng sitting on a big rock, looking so leisurely and comfortable.

At his feet were several large plastic baskets and a red bucket, which he brought back from lunch at home.

Some of the plastic baskets were placed upright, and they were filled with... uh... bird nests, some of which even had eggs in them.

Some eggs have no nest.

There was also an upside-down one with two hedgehogs inside.

No, not only a hedgehog, but also an old turtle.

The most exaggerated thing is the red bucket. Inside the bucket are gray, slippery, round, and long things... There are two snakes coiled around them, hissing and spitting out their tongues.

"Dad, what are these?"

……

The area of ​​Tianhan is 2.7 square kilometers, accounting for % of southern Shaanxi.

The population is just over 300 million, which is less than the HD district in the imperial capital.

However, the city has 162 protected areas of various types, including 22 national ones and 37 provincial ones. These protected areas account for 49.39% of the city’s area, and the forest coverage rate reaches 60%.

There are more forest police than civilian police.

This place is packed with protected animals. Even if one of them appears in other places, it would make the news, but it is not surprising here.

The awareness that animals should not be touched and that if you encounter an unfamiliar animal, you should immediately call the police is deeply rooted in the locals.

It's not just because it's always talked about on TV and radio, and because there are people coming to promote the policy every year, but also because every village has experienced the situation in winter when protected animals come down to look for food, are treated to good food and drink, and then receive compensation.

Of course, there are also negative examples, such as those who use their "long-term meal tickets" to operate sewing machines.

Luo Yihang's land has been left fallow for more than ten years, and many animals and birds have made their homes there.

The guy walking around the field with a stick was the one Luo Cheng sent to do this job. The bird nests with eggs were all taken out of the field by him.

And that hedgehog, that old turtle, and that snake were all caught by that person.

Quite capable.

"That's right. That's Lao Jin from Xiawazi. I recognize him. He used to be a hunter. He can catch snakes. He's very capable." Luo Cheng said.

No wonder Lao Jin was asked to do this job, it seems there really is a snake in the field.

There are two in the bucket.

"What should we do with these things?" Luo Yihang picked up a branch, bent down and poked the two snakes beside the bucket.

"Hiss—" A snake raised its head, its upper body bounced up, and biued. It was quite fast.

Luo Yihang quickly raised his hand and hit the snake's head with the small stick in his hand.

The snake became obedient.

"You're just nagging me." Luo Cheng tapped Luo Yihang on the head. Well, he became obedient.

"These two are vegetable snakes. They are not poisonous. Their bite will hurt, so don't mess with them." Luo Cheng said, pointing at the two snakes in the bucket.

Then he continued, "Let the forest police come over to take a look. If it's not for protection, we'll let the hedgehog go in the mountains, and we'll take the turtle back to make soup. Lao Jin said he'd give the two snakes to him, so he could take them back and cook them."

"The main thing is that we don't recognize these eggs. We have to wait for the experts to come up and identify them. We'll do whatever they say."

Well, dad hasn't spent these decades in vain, he knows a lot.

This pile of eggs and nests, some are almost as big as chicken eggs, some are smaller than quail eggs. They can be roughly divided into four types: one is green, one is green with patterns, one is smaller than quail eggs and is brown with patterns, and there is a pile of white ones, but they are long and narrow.

There were four kinds of eggs, divided into seven or eight nests, totaling more than twenty eggs.

……

The work scheduled for today has been completed, but the scheduled working time has not yet arrived.

It’s not that big of a deal, Luo Cheng stood up and asked everyone to come over and take a break.

After smoking a cigarette and drinking some water, the six of them, who were of the same age, sat in a circle on the ground and started gossiping.

Talk about which village you are from, whether there is so-and-so in your village, whether you know so-and-so, you are so capable to make such a big scene, etc.

Tianhan is not very big, and there are not many villages around it, so they can be connected by twists and turns.

Anyway, Luo Cheng talked very well and received a lot of praise.

I also found out that these people were not Li Zheng’s employees, but were temporary recruits.

They all went out to work and couldn't work anymore, so they came back home and took care of the housework if there was any, and went out to find some odd jobs if there was no work. Li Zheng had a lot of work, and they had all worked with him a few times before, and if they saw that he was doing a good job, they left their phone numbers and would be called up when there was work.

So, these people are all people who are capable of doing the job and have been selected by Li Zheng.

Luo Yihang quietly tugged at Luo Cheng's sleeve and winked at him.

Luo Cheng understood immediately, nodded slightly, and smoked a few cigarettes. Then he took out his cell phone and enthusiastically asked Lao Jin to add him as a friend, and then added these old friends as well.

We’ll see whether it’s useful or not. It’s also okay to do odd jobs during the busy farming season.

They are all people who have been tested by Li Zheng, and they are definitely more reliable than random people from outside.

……

We chatted and talked about family matters and took a break for a while. It was almost half past six.

Then I saw Li Zheng driving his broken van over, followed by a pickup truck with the words "Tianhan City Forest Police" written on the door of the pickup truck.

Did they meet each other?

Wait, the road has been repaired!
It was repaired, wasn't it? Li Zheng parked the car and got out. Before he even closed the door, he shouted joyfully, "Boss Hang, the road is open. There's no problem at all!"

This broken road has finally been repaired.

Luo Yihang was also very happy when he heard that. He swung his long legs and took a few steps to Li Zheng. He stretched out his right hand and put it around Li Zheng's neck and hugged him.

This made Li Zheng's dark square face blush, and he felt quite embarrassed.

Fortunately, the forest police who came later dispelled this shyness and enthusiasm.

The person in the front took the initiative to shake hands with Luo Yihang and said, "You must be Comrade Luo Yihang, hello. We received a report that many bird nests were found in the farmland clearing here."
