Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 1293 1300. It's a stone frog (15)

Jiang Xue shouted at Xu Nan's back: "Nan Nan, come back, let's go up the mountain. Today the village chief is the protagonist. Let's shoot a video of Xiao Erlang picking mushrooms on the mountain."

Ao Muyang felt that this was not right and said: "Xiao Erlang? I am too old to be cute, right?"

"If you can't be cute, then be fierce." Du Xingyi gave him advice.

Xu Nan said without turning his head: "You guys go and shoot, you don't need me, I'm going to pet the cat, this cat runs really fast."

Jiang Xue shouted again: "If you don't come, the village chief said that he will make delicious food for us after picking mushrooms and bamboo shoots."

Xu Nan let the head of state go and ran back with his long legs. Du Xingyi's eyes widened and he deliberately wiped his saliva.

Ao Muyang looked at them in astonishment and said, "Who said I would make delicious food for you?"

Jiang Xue smiled and whispered, "I lied to her. Let's go up the mountain together. Come on, smile, and I'll give you a close-up first."

After walking along the mountain road for a while, Du Xingyi shook his head and said, "Let's not take this road. Boss, is there any other way up the mountain? Especially the wilderness road."

Ao Muyang said, "Yes, but can you walk it?"

In order to take care of the four people, he deliberately took the mountain road with the best road conditions.

Du Xingyi said, "Don't underestimate us, let's take the small road."

Ao Muyang wondered, "What's the matter? You don't take the road to heaven, and you rush into hell?"

Jiang Xue pointed to the camera in Su Chenglong's hand and said, "We have to take some beautiful pictures on the way, so try to take new roads. We have taken pictures of this mountain road several times. It's meaningless to use it as a background."

After listening to their explanation, Lao Ao changed the road halfway.

Since they wanted to take pictures of the beautiful scenery, Ao Muyang really knew a good path. There was a mountain stream over there with a spring on top. The stream often dried up and only appeared after rain. Because the mountain was steep, it could form a small waterfall.

He told the situation of this road, and the four new media team immediately became interested and urged him to lead the way.

Ao Muyang said: "In fact, you can find that road by yourself. Did you hear the toads calling? Just follow the toads' calls. This must be the calls of the toads in the pool."

This was the first wave of toads calling. Because it was spring, there were few toads hatching and the calls were not loud. If it was summer, after such a heavy rain, the calls of toads would be more powerful than the speakers of square dance.

He asked the wolf brothers to open the way in front. In spring, many shrubs bloomed and sprouted new branches, so the path was blocked, and someone had to go to the front to step on the landmines.

However, they did not lead the way well in front. They ran and ran and suddenly accelerated and disappeared.

"What are you doing?" Xu Nan asked.

Ao Muyang said, "They must have found a pheasant or a rabbit."

Xu Nan smiled happily, "Wow, we'll have a hare to eat tonight."

"Who told you that?" Ao Muyang turned back and said cautiously.

As a result, the four people didn't care what he said and discussed among themselves:

"Is it okay to roast the hare this time? I've eaten braised and stewed meat, but I've never eaten roasted hare."

"It could also be a pheasant, pheasant is good."

"Then roast a pheasant. When I was a kid watching TV, I envied the heroes the most for catching a pheasant in the wild and roasting it."

"Whether it's a pheasant or a hare, I like it as long as it's made by the boss. We have to believe in his craftsmanship."

"Yes, we believe you." The four people said to Ao Muyang, which was equivalent to an official announcement: I'll go to your house for dinner.

Seeing Wolf Da and Wolf Er running out, the general was also a little eager to move, but he didn't find any rabbits or pheasants, so he anxiously circled around and ran back in a bad mood.

Then Wolf Da also came back, holding a rabbit in his mouth.

Unfortunately, the rabbit was only the size of a palm. It was a little rabbit that the village had just released on the mountain.

Ao Muyang shook his head and pointed at the little rabbit and scolded Wolf Da: "You are not allowed to catch such a thing. You should behave yourself in the mountains in the future and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Wolf Er had just emerged from a small jungle and stopped when he saw his elder brother being scolded.

Old Ao scolded Wolf Da for a few words. Wolf Er probably understood what he meant, so he spit out what he was holding in his mouth, and pretended to be dejected and had nothing to gain.

The general saw what he had thrown away, and quickly ran over to pick it up and showed it to Ao Muyang.

Jiang Xue raised her camera and was about to take a picture, but after a closer look, she was shocked: "Oh my god, it's a frog. Frogs are good friends of humans. How can you kill frogs?"

The frog that the general brought back was very big, about ten centimeters long, and bulging. Ao Muyang might not be able to hold it with one palm.

Xu Nan said with disgust: "Such a big frog, is it a toad?"

Ao Muyang picked up one of the frog's legs to look at it. The frog's belly was bluish-white, the north was yellow-brown, with bluish-white spots on it, and its limbs were thick and long, which was different from the common frogs commonly seen by the lake.

He turned the frog around and said: "This thing can be eaten."

Du Xingyi immediately gave a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being a man at the top of the food chain."

Xu Nan shook his head and said: "I won't eat it. A toad wants to be eaten by a white swan? It's wishful thinking!"

Ao Muyang said: "No kidding, this is not an ordinary frog, this is a stone frog."

The stone frog is a southern frog, which has been found in southern China. Hongyang is the dividing line between the north and the south, and it is not seen in areas further north.

In fact, stone frogs are rarely seen in Hongyang now. After all, they like to live in mountainous forests with abundant rainfall. Now that their living environment has been destroyed, it is becoming increasingly difficult to see them.

Ao Muyang has been home for three years, and this is the first time he has encountered a stone frog in the wild.

This stone frog was also unlucky. It was killed by Wolf Two. It should have just woken up from hibernation a few days ago. It took advantage of the spring rain to wake up and prepare to hunt and reproduce, but it ran into Wolf Two, the evil star.

The stone frog is active from April to November throughout the year, which is also its hunting season. In winter, they have to find caves or tree holes to hide and hibernate.

Su Chenglong and the other four knew about the stone frog. After hearing what Ao Muyang said, they asked curiously: "Ah? Is this a stone frog?" "It looks a bit ugly."

"Then we will eat the stone frog tonight." Xu Nan announced solemnly.

Hearing this, Du Xingyi got excited: "One is not enough to eat. Come on, let's go look around and see if we can find a few more."

Ao Muyang said: "You just said that frogs are friends of humans."

"Yes, it is eaten by humans as food, and humans will still be very grateful to it. Isn't it still a friend?" Du Xingyi smiled.

Xu Nan added: "The standard for judging whether a species is a friend of humans or food of humans is whether it can be eaten and whether it tastes good."

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said: "Get out, this stone frog is a protected animal, and people are not allowed to catch it."

"But this one in your hand?"

"This was caught by a wolf, and the wolf can catch it."
