Chapter 1531 - 1531
Liu Zhizhong said, "There are many details to consider regarding this, but let me share a fact. Birds like to eat fish and will spread fish eggs to natural water bodies through their excrement."
"Are birds that obedient? If you dig a pond in the wild, they'll bring fish eggs?"
"Hehe... The attraction of water to birds is undeniable, don't doubt it. They need water to drink and bathe. When they see a large body of water, they think about whether there might be fish inside to hunt and eat! Yesterday, didn't several flocks of small birds fly away when the helicopter landed on Tianping Peak? Some should still be over there now; we heard bird calls coming from that direction. If there was nothing to eat on this mountain, would they stay here? The trees aren't very lush here, and these species don't grow very tall or large, so they're not suitable for birds to nest and perch."
This analysis piqued Zhang Minmin's curiosity. She waved her hand, "Why say so much? Go take a look. If there's no pool or anything, you won't have lunch."
Liu Zhizhong had already figured out the terrain and suspected there was definitely a pool or something there, so he said, "If there is, you won't have lunch?"
"Pfft! That's not happening!"
"Alright, you're always at an advantage, aren't you?"
"Exactly!"
Seeing her looking all proud, Liu Zhizhong shrugged, feeling helpless!
Liu Zhizhong lit a cigarette and casually walked towards the distinctive area.
It was about a hundred meters from the helicopter, not too far.
The terrain of Tianping Peak is quite interesting. Though it's a peak, it looks rather flat, shaped somewhat like an oval with narrow ends and a wide, rounded middle.
Liu Zhizhong estimated that the peak's area might be seven or eight thousand square meters. In the vast primordial forest, it's considered a substantial peak.
Moreover, his destination was relatively lower and had denser vegetation.
The closer he got to his destination, the more Liu Zhizhong felt the moist and soft earth underfoot. He eventually reached a spot where water seeped through, and he turned back and shouted, "Minmin, hey, there's water, so slippery, hehe..."
This shout really startled some water ducks.
Several water ducks flapped out of the forest ahead, accompanied by sounds of water rippling. The ducks flew up about ten meters into the sky and then settled down again.
Liu Zhizhong was thrilled at the sight. Where there are water ducks, there's definitely a pool, and there are definitely fish in the pool!
Zhang Minmin rose from her deck chair, looked at him, and shouted, "Look at you getting all excited, is it such a big deal to have water? There need to be fish too!"
Liu Zhizhong chuckled, nodded, and turned to walk forward.
Soon, it got even muddier underfoot, with grass and trees almost reaching his height, obstructing his view quite a bit.
Moreover, his shoes seemed to almost sink into the water, like stepping into a swamp.
After parting a patch of grass, Liu Zhizhong looked ahead, chuckling... Wow, amazing, refreshing indeed!
Sure enough, there was an oval-shaped, somewhat irregular pool, about two to three hundred square meters in size, not very large. But for the top of Tianping Peak, it was quite sizable.
Around the pool's edge grew floating aquatic plants, patch after patch, with a substantial open water surface in the middle.
On the floating grass on the other side, several water ducks were still swimming back and forth...
