Chapter 1425: Chapter 690: Boss Niu’s Hometown_3

Yan Fei chuckled, "I had to fight it out, it ripped up quite a few of my clothes when it first arrived. Later on, when it wouldn’t listen, I had to smack it around, and eventually, it behaved."

The lake was crystal clear, and although the mountains were not yet lush with greenery, the early blooming flowers were already blossoming between the withered grass and tender green. The sporadic little flowers swayed gracefully in the sunlight, which looked even more flavorful than a full bloom of myriad colors.

There weren’t many people on the road either. Tourism is interesting only when you’re seeing other people’s places. For the folks back in Boss Niu’s hometown, nobody really wanted to come this way—the naughty children were off to school, and most of the young adults had gone out to work. As for those who were left spending their days facing the mountains and the lake, do you think they felt like going out for leisure?

However, Miss Xu Xiaoyan seemed quite happy. While running, she suddenly pointed toward the distant lakeshore and shouted, "Yan Xiaofei, look, are those mandarin ducks..."

Before Yan Fei could respond, because of the girl’s shouting, Bear Da and Bear Er roared a couple of times. A large flock of mallards emerged hurriedly from the lakeside and flew together with the original two toward the center of the lake.

Old Niu explained with a smile, "There are indeed mandarin ducks here, but they’re rare; we need to walk farther to see them. Only these mallards in groups are bold enough to stay close to the village."

Yan Fei hadn’t finished listening when he glimpsed two black dots diving down and immediately sprinted forward, while letting out a whistle.

The two black dots were Golden Eagles, originally anticipating a chance to behave recklessly with their owner around. However, upon hearing Yan Fei’s whistle that scattered the flock of ducks, they circled twice before leisurely landing ahead of the group.

Seeing this, Old Niu chuckled, "I was saying this place usually has many birds, wondering why we saw fewer today. I forgot you just mentioned that these two lords had arrived."

Miss Xu Xiaoyan then asked, "Brother Niu, what other birds do you have here?"

Secretary Qu answered for Old Niu, "Oh, we have many, including our commonly seen magpies and pigeons. There are also black moorhens, white-crowned water redstarts, white egrets, grey herons, Anas platyrhynchos, tringa nebularia, tufted ducks, and so on. What we saw just now were just common mallards. We also have Anas platyrhynchos..."

Having listened for a while, the girl, intrigued mainly by the white egret due to the line "A row of white egrets flies into the blue sky," stopped and asked, "Secretary Qu, do you have white egrets here too? I’ve seen them before; white egrets are the prettiest..."

Yan Fei interjected eagerly, "There really are, they are all around our area."

The girl glanced at Yan Fei, wanted to say something but didn’t, laughed softly, and turned her head to continue leading the way forward.

Secretary Qu smiled, "I got to know about these after coming here to work. I specifically studied them. Boss Yan is quite familiar with things around here, right?"

Yan Fei modestly smiled, "I know a bit, but nothing compared to you."

Actually, Boss Yan knew about more than just the white egrets. Apart from those, he knew about the black moorhens and others because he had personally caught them. Director Wang, who wasn’t yet the head of the Forestry Bureau back then, also knew about this. The white egret the girl saw earlier was indeed caught by Yan Xiaofei; she wanted to ask if the egret had been caught here, but considering there were outsiders present, she refrained from asking.

Secretary Qu still felt sentimental, "Understanding these is also for the sake of developing our local tourism resources. This place is so poor, and with such beautiful scenery going unnoticed while others are developing their tourism resources, it’s painful to see our resources lying idle."

His intentions were clear, but at that moment, Yan Fei’s mind was elsewhere. He looked toward the distant woods, pondering, "It’s better that no one comes here. If people frequently visited, it would inconvenience the plans I have in mind..."

The task Boss Yan had to complete was actually not that complicated.

In the world of dinosaurs, a group of laborers, after several days, finally found a scorpion that satisfied Boss Yan—due to the limited time, their understanding of its habits was not thorough, but through crude experimental methods such as soaking in hot water, slow baking, anoxic environments, etc., after sacrificing many small creatures’ lives, they identified the most tenaciously living type...

What remained was for Boss Yan to find a ’suitable’ place in human society where he could ’accidentally discover’ this little creature destined to astonish the academic world...
