The old man was herding sheep in the mountains and found a golden phoenix. I have been feeding him silently for four years. What happened now?

Fly to the branches and become a phoenix. Although Phoenix is a mythical beast in China, it has a far-reaching influence on the culture and inheritance of China.

The legendary phoenix is invisible, but there are still many birds in the form of phoenix. Even in Liuhe Village, Pinglu County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, "golden phoenix" exists.

Accidentally discovered that full-time bird people.

There is a new bird shooting place in Liuhe Village, Pinglu County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, which is very popular with bird photographers. However, there is a wonderful rule in this bird-hunting place-it needs to be led by Guo Cunsuo, the "bird keeper", and it will stay at the designated place, and the shooting time is not long. Even so, many photographers came.

What attracts so many photographers? It goes back four years. Guo Cunsuo was originally just an ordinary farmer in the village. On weekdays, he also herded sheep to farm.

That is, when herding sheep, Guo Cunsuo looked around and came across a bright color. Approaching slowly, Guo Cunsuo squatted not far away to observe, and a beautiful bird appeared in the field of vision. Slender and colorful feathers, the feathers on the top of the head extend into filaments, forming a golden crown, covering the back of the neck-golden phoenix! Guo Cunsuo can't help but exclaim. There is a legend of this bird in the village, and everyone says that this bird is golden phoenix.

Only this kind of bird is rare. Even though Guo Cunsuo lived in the village since childhood, he only met him once when he was young. Unexpectedly, this golden phoenix once again appeared in front of Guo Cunsuo for so many years.

Curiosity, surprise, and more protection. Guo Cunsuo thinks this bird is his destiny takes a hand. From that day on, Guo Cunsuo went up the mountain to feed golden phoenix every day. At first, "golden phoenix" was very cautious. If there is any movement, he will hide. Guo Cunsuo didn't care. In the long run, "golden phoenix" was not afraid of Guo Cunsuo, and then the number of "golden phoenix" who came for dinner changed from one to dozens.

It's been a long time. Four years have passed. Guo Cunsuo put a lot of thoughts into golden phoenix. Even if there is no return, Guo Cunsuo is very happy. A 60-year-old man has these hobbies on weekdays. Even if his family doesn't understand this, Guo Cunsuo enjoys it.

windfall

The news of "golden phoenix" spread like wildfire, and many bird photographers heard it. These bird lovers vaguely think that this phoenix should be a "golden pheasant with a red belly". As a national second-class protected wild animal, golden pheasant is also called "Phoenix". When the photographer came to the door, Guo Cunsuo didn't mind and took them up the mountain. It's just that I work hard every time, and the shooting time is not long, and sometimes I can't take the photos I want at all.

These photographers want to stay and continue shooting. Obviously, this is a business opportunity. Although Guo Cunsuo has been feeding the golden pheasant for four years for free, it is a windfall to have the opportunity to earn some money from it now. Guo Cunsuo's wife runs a farmhouse to provide accommodation for these photographers. Business is not bad, and the income is naturally good.

Golden pheasant with red belly

Golden pheasants live in broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broadleaved forests at an altitude of 500-2500 meters, and also appear in bushes and bamboo forests on steep rock slopes. In winter, we often go to grass slopes and cultivated land for activities and foraging Golden roosters generally move in groups, especially in autumn and winter, and the number can be as high as 30 or more. Just like the golden pheasant that Guo Cunsuo first saw, golden pheasant is alert, timid and sensitive in hearing and vision. At the first sign of trouble, you will run away immediately. Even when the danger is far away, it will run quickly underground to escape; When danger approaches, it will fly up the tree and disappear.

It is precisely because of golden pheasant's cautious personality that there are not many film and television materials and photos left. Guo Cunsuo's careful companionship for four years has brought him the opportunity to get close to the golden pheasant, which is an advantage in itself.

If it were a normal person, I'm afraid the golden pheasant would have escaped. As far as golden pheasants are concerned, the number of golden pheasants has dropped sharply. The reason is illegal hunting, because the male bird's feathers are gorgeous and attract many people to like it. Therefore, some places also raise golden roosters to protect wild golden roosters.
