A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

Chapter 86? Another animal protection story? It's no wonder this is so popular!

Qi Yue arrived at the shore of Mingyue Lake.

Several young and beautiful girls saw Qi Yue and immediately clamored to come over and take a photo with him.

Many tourists noticed the commotion.

A tourist asked loudly:

"Boss Qi, how did the red-crowned cranes manage to fly here? It's amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue replied with a relaxed expression:

"Perhaps it's because of the good environment of Mingyue Lake that the red-crowned cranes prefer it."

“This area has abundant aquatic plants and is in its original ecological state, which is actually quite suitable for wading birds.”

Hearing his words, someone else laughed:
"Boss Qi, your taming skills are so amazing, could you recruit a few more?"

"These red-crowned cranes are so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue shook his head helplessly.

He did want to recruit a few more, but his word didn't count.

This was purely the red-crowned crane's own idea.

Then Qi Yue laughed and said:

"I think the more animals the better."

"But I don't have that ability!"

Hearing him say that, everyone laughed.

Just then, a row of small birds flew across the sky, flapping their wings in perfect formation.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to see migratory birds in areas with human activity.

Migratory birds do not pass through areas of human activity.

But when you do see it occasionally, you're always amazed.

Someone looked up and saw this scene, immediately pointed to the sky, and shouted:
"Look over there, there are migratory birds!"

Upon hearing this, the tourists all looked up at the sky.

"It really is true, there are migratory birds again!"

"It's the season for migratory birds to fly, which is why we can see them now."

"That's great! I've never seen anything like it before!"

Everyone started discussing it.

Qi Yue looked up and indeed saw a flock of migratory birds flying by.

It even has a touch of poetry to it.

Everyone just watched the migratory birds fly by.

But what happened next was somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

The flock of migratory birds flew over the scenic area, then suddenly turned around and flew back towards the area.

The tourists exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene:

"They're back! They actually flew back!"

Why do migratory birds sometimes change course during their migration?

"It looks like it's flying this way!"

"No way!"

"Take pictures quickly!"

People held up their phones and took pictures of the sky.

At this moment, Qi Yue was also looking up at the sky.

His expression held a hint of anticipation as he murmured softly:

"real or fake?"

All we saw was the flock of migratory birds returning and then swooping down towards Mingyue Lake.

They maintained their "human" formation and, to the astonishment of the tourists, landed in the lake.

These are a group of somewhat peculiar birds, their shapes somewhat resembling ducks.

However, some ducks have black feathers on their heads with a green metallic sheen, while their waists and tails are white, and their tail feathers are particularly long.

It looks a bit like she's wearing a formal dress.

Other ducks are grayish-brown with scaly markings.

As soon as the ducks landed on the lake, they quickly flapped their wings a few times and soon began to wander around in small groups.

It was quite a sight to see a flock of wild ducks swimming on the lake.

A tourist immediately asked:
"What kind of bird is that? I've never seen one like it before! Is it a wild duck?"

"What a peculiar duck, but it's very beautiful!"

"The stranger the appearance, the higher the protection level!"

"It looks like the Chinese Merganser, a Class I protected animal in China, with a very high level of protection."

"Holy crap, no way? A Chinese Merganser? Those are national treasures, and they're here?"

"Really? Is it true or not?!"

People were talking about it.

At this moment, Qi Yue's face was full of astonishment.

He had no idea.

No, is your luck really that bad?
He recognized them as Chinese Mergansers.

Perhaps red-crowned cranes are more agile, but now that they are protected, their numbers are greater.

However, the Chinese Merganser is extremely rare, making it even rarer.

And now, a flock of Chinese Mergansers, about thirteen or fourteen, has landed in Mingyue Lake?
Is this the stroke of luck that brought Mingyue Lake?
The number of visitors to the scenic area brought by this flock of birds is even more considerable than before.

"what?"

"It's impossible for them not to become popular!"

Qi Yue immediately burst into laughter.

This is absolutely outrageous!

More and more people are gathering around the Chinese Merganser, and many have already recognized it as a breed, excitedly taking pictures.

As soon as the flock of mergansers landed on the lake, they quickly dived into the water to find food.

The Chinese Merganser is a strong diver, capable of diving for about 2 minutes.

They disappeared into the lake at once, and then suddenly reappeared from other places a short while later, which looked quite magical.

They must be tired after such a long journey.

Now, being able to rest on the lake for a while and find food is perfect for them.

Moreover, several mergansers have already swum towards the shore, seemingly searching for a suitable place to live. One area has already been occupied by red-crowned cranes, so the mergansers certainly won't go there.

Wading birds also have their own ways of interacting.

In addition, there are many other places with reed beds and aquatic plants.

Mergansers can also find a place to rest.

Qi Yue saw that some mergansers had already reached the shore, and he quickly called out:
"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, go and set up the warning tape!"

"Fence off that area too!"

Qi Yue quickly called on his employees for help.

Then, he and two security guards set up a cordon on the lake.

This is only a temporary measure. Later, fences will be erected around it, similar to the Red-crowned Crane Wetland, to create another Chinese Merganser Wetland.

"There are already enough visitors in the scenic area."

"Unexpectedly, red-crowned cranes and Chinese mergansers have arrived again."

"It's impossible for them not to become popular!"

"We need to find a way to build facilities quickly, otherwise we won't be able to accommodate so many tourists."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

The tourism industry suddenly began to experience explosive growth.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Many tourists in the scenic area also heard the commotion.

"A flock of waterbirds flew over from that big lake. They say it's the Chinese Merganser, a Class I protected animal. Let's go take a look!"

"Huh? Another protected bird has flown over?"

"The lakeside is packed with people, all watching the spectacle!"

"I just looked it up online, and these birds are very rare. It was definitely worth the trip!"

"This scenic area is amazing! I thought having red-crowned cranes was impressive enough, but I didn't expect to find Chinese mergansers too!"

"Go take a look right away!"

The tourists were thrilled and flocked to the lakeside to watch.

Fortunately, Mingyue Lake is large enough that the surrounding running track can accommodate many people.

That's why so many people can find places to observe the Chinese Merganser.

Chinese Mergansers were playing happily on the lake, ignoring the tourists around them and busying themselves with finding food.

It looks light and cheerful.

Qi Yue was busy on the shore, and many tourists pointed their mobile phone cameras at him.

"Boss Qi, you're amazing! Your scenic area has even attracted Chinese Mergansers!"

"Is there some kind of spiritual energy here? Otherwise, these birds wouldn't have come here!"

"These birds are so beautiful!"

"This place is definitely going to be a hit!"

Everyone turned to him and said something.

Facing numerous cameras, Qi Yue remained relaxed and said to everyone:

"This lake is a natural formation of mountain water, which may be why the mergansers came here."

Qi Yue's generous and open demeanor easily wins the favor of tourists.

Someone else asked:
"Boss Qi, what are your plans for dealing with these Chinese Mergansers?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue immediately replied:
"Protect it, we're already here."

This remark brought a knowing smile to everyone's faces.

Qi Yue knew that the scenic spot would probably be trending on social media again.

The mere sighting of red-crowned cranes makes the news; now that Chinese mergansers are coming, they might even get interviewed.

That's actually true.

Protecting the environment is an important task nowadays, but no matter how good the protection is, the public doesn't like to hear it.

There still needs to be some story.

The sight of a Class I protected animal landing in a scenic area is the best form of publicity.

Moreover, the scenic area of ​​Qiyue itself attracts a large number of visitors.

Therefore, this is excellent news material.

This matter has attracted considerable attention.

At this very moment, at the headquarters building of the city's news channel.

A reporter hurriedly reported the situation to his team leader.

“I saw the news about the scenic area where the red-crowned crane landed before, but it was reported by another company first, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

"The mergansers have arrived now?"

The team leader reacted immediately upon seeing the message.

"You need to go there right now and interview the owner of this scenic spot as soon as possible. We'll release the news at the same time."

"This news is quite a bombshell!"

"Hurry up and get there!"

Upon hearing this, the reporter immediately called the photographer and headed towards Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area.

News is all about timeliness.

To become a journalist, one must naturally possess strong execution skills.

Qi Yue never expected that after only watching the mergansers by the lake for a while and chatting with tourists for a bit, a reporter would rush up to him in just half an hour.

Qi Yue was somewhat taken aback when he saw the professional long microphone and the professional shoulder-mounted camera.

What's the situation?
Where did you guys come from?
Didn't the Chinese Merganser just land on the lake?
Is this coming?

"Mr. Qi, we're from the city's news station. We'd like to interview you. Is that alright?"

The female reporter asked with a smile, speaking clearly and confidently, clearly a professional.

City news station?

Isn't this a free advertising channel?

Qi Yue nodded. "No problem."

"welcome."

The reporter began asking Qi Yue some questions about the merganser and the scenic area.

Qi Yue answered calmly.

This weekend, Qingfeng Mountain Scenic Area has stirred up another wave of excitement online, destined to be a lively occasion.
