    Xue Xinger always goes to bed at the second watch, it can be said that "a teenager does not know what it is like to be sad".

    However, last night, a gust of wind and a gust of rain kept Xing'er awake all night, holding the pipa in her arms until dawn.

    The messy sound of the pipa reflected that Xing'er's heart was already in turmoil, but from her singing it was clear that Xing'er's decision to marry him had been made.  However, Wang Mian couldn't be happy at all. He was worried, holding the flagon and drinking non-stop

    [1] "Zaoxing" Bai Juyi. Poem

    ? The morning light shines on Liang Ming in the house,

    At the beginning, the door opened with a drum sound.

    The dog sleeps on the upper stage and knows that the ground is wet,

    Birds approach the window and report the weather is fine.

    ?The head of the half-sold wine is still heavy,

    The new winter clothes are light.

    ? Sleeping and exhausting thoughts,

    ?Recently, there are not many homeland dreams come true.

    The morning light first shines, and the room is bright.

    The sound of morning drums from temples in the mountains awakened Wang Mian, who had not yet fallen asleep.  He "suddenly" got up, but felt top-heavy.

    The lively little bird chirped and cheered non-stop in front of the window, as if reporting the fine weather to him.  Wang Mian took off his winter clothes and changed into single clothes. He immediately felt relaxed and refreshed, and his mood was also very clear. His troubles disappeared immediately. Who said that getting drunk can't relieve all worries?

    Opening the door, I saw the big black dog at home crawling on the steps of the door. Maybe it also disliked the humidity of the earth, so it hid under the eaves to sleep.  Seeing Wang Mian coming out, the sleepy dog ??wagged its tail and got up lazily.

    After leaving the gate of the small courtyard, Wang Mian came to the back garden.

    The back garden is close to a big mountain, and there is a hot spring at the foot of the mountain.  Back then, the ancestors of the Yu family built this villa because of this hot spring.  In the northwest corner of the courtyard, a garden was built with the help of scenery, enclosing the foot of a mountain, and taking the spring as its own.

    Wang Mian climbed to the foot of the hill.

    The wet road, the wet grass, the wet apricot tree crown, the wet orchid seedlings the whole morning was wet.

    Go down the stone steps, and after a few steps to the south, there is a curved water cup, which is the result of the natural flow of the stream.  Just turned around a "Liu Shang Pavilion", but saw Xing'er lying on the ground

    What is this for?  Early in the morning.

    I saw that she pouted her buttocks, stared straight ahead without blinking, and didn't care whether the grass on the ground was wet, and saw her crawling forward quietly.  Wang Mian was inconvenient to go up to disturb her, and watched quietly from a distance.  I saw her crawling for a while, looking up; crawling for a while, looking up again

    No one in front?  !  She is?

    She quietly climbed to a small wall made of small stones, paused for a while, and then jumped up. With a "click", she fell on the grass on the other side of the wall.  The two little birds flew away screaming and flapping their wings

    "Oh~, catch a bird, you're thinking of yourself as an eagle." Wang Mian hurried over, and picked up Xue Xing'er, who was not lightly knocked.

    Seeing that it was Wang Mian, Xing'er threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

    Wang Mian patted her on the back lightly, and didn't know how to comfort her In fact, Wang Mian also knew in his heart: it was definitely not because of her leg injury that Xing'er was crying.

    Xing'er Lihua raised her head rainingly, pointed at the laughing bird on the tree, and said coquettishly, "I want, I want that little bird."

    Like coaxing a child, Wang Mian said affectionately, "Oh, I want a little bird!"

    "Hmm~" Myolie nodded.

    Wang Mian wiped her tears with his hands, "If you want a bird, how can you catch it so easily!"

    Xing'er said emphatically: "That bird seems to have just been born, and it can't fly well yet. I thought I could catch it"

    "How could it be a young bird?" Wang Mian patted her head and said, "Now is spring, the season when birds fall in love. They are not mother and child, but lovers."

    "I don't care, I just have to~" Myolie stomped her feet and continued to act coquettishly.

    Wang Mian asked: "Where is the slingshot I made for you?"

    "I don't want to hurt it~" Myolie said, "I just want to live."

    "You have to live~" Wang Mian told her, "Then you have to use a basket to buckle it."

    "Will you buckle it for me~" Xing'er grabbed Wang Mian's hand and shook it back and forth.

    "I'll buckle it for you! Okay¡ª¡ª" Wang Mian said, "Then, let's go! Let's find a basket first"

    In an instant, Wang Mian felt as if he had returned to his childhood.

    [2] "Smell the Spring Birds" Poetry by Wei Zhuang

    ? Yunqing Spring Birds Manjiang Village,

    theIt is brown and black spotted, so it is commonly known as sparrow.  There are 9 primary flight feathers, and the light-colored feather margins of the outer flight feathers (except the first one) are slightly enlarged at the feather base and proximal end, parallel to each other, and slightly form two horizontal spots, which are especially obvious when flying.  The mouth is short, thick and strong, conical, with a slightly curved mouth peak.  Except for tree sparrows, both sexes have different colors.

    (1) Types of sparrows

    Tree sparrow: body length 13-15 cm.  Male pure liver brown from forehead to nape of neck; upper body sandy brown with black stripes; two prominent nearly white horizontal stripes on wings; chin and throat black; female resembles male but lighter or darker in color  , forehead and cheek feathers with dark apex, mouth base yellow.  There are no dark spots on the cheeks of similar house sparrows and other sparrows.

    Black-capped sparrow: body length 15 cm.  During the breeding period, the male bird has black crest pattern to the nape of the neck, black eye pattern and chin, brown eyebrow pattern and occipital side, and light gray cheeks.  The upper body is brown and densely covered with black vertical stripes.  The female is dark in color but the darker longitudinal stripes on the upper back and the lighter tips of the middle and large coverts are evident.

    House sparrow: body length 15 cm.  The difference between the male bird and the tree sparrow is that the crown and tail coverts are gray, there are no black spots on the ears, and the throat and upper breast are more black.  The female bird is pale in color with light eyebrow lines.  The female bird of the mountain sparrow is lighter in color, the wing spot is not as obvious as that of the female of the black-capped sparrow, and the tail has no fork, and the breast color is lighter.  There are yellow vertical stripes on both sides of the upper back, and nearly black vertical stripes on the side of the chest.

    Mountain sparrow: body length 14 cm.  Dioecious.  The crown and upper body of the male bird are bright yellow-brown or chestnut, with pure black vertical stripes on the upper back, black throat, and dirty white cheeks.  Females are darker in color with dark wide eye lines and long cream eyebrow lines.

    (2) Life habits

    Sparrows are mostly active in places where humans live. They are very lively, bold and approachable, but they are very vigilant and curious.  They often nest in human houses, such as eaves and wall holes, and sometimes occupy the nests of barn swallows. In the wild, they often nest in tree holes.  They can sometimes be found nesting in individual trees, however house sparrows are found in flocks throughout the four seasons of the year, and groups of older trees with many holes are often their favorite nesting sites.

    In addition to the breeding and brooding stages, sparrows are very gregarious birds.  In autumn, it is easy to form large flocks of hundreds or even thousands, which are called sparrows, and in winter they form small flocks of more than a dozen or dozens of activities together.  This little creature is very smart and alert, and has a strong memory, which is different from many other small sparrows. For example, a sparrow rescued by someone will show a kind of closeness to the person who rescued it, and it will last for a long time.  Where house sparrows are concentrated, they will show solidarity when there are invasive birds until they drive the intruders away.  Sparrows tend to be very brave when it comes to brooding.

    Sparrows are omnivorous birds. In summer and autumn, they mainly feed on the seeds of gramineous plants, and when brooding, they mainly feed on insects that harm gramineous plants, most of which are Lepidoptera pests.  Because parent birds are more successful in protecting young birds and have strong reproductive capacity, sparrows are more numerous than many species of birds, which is easy to cause sparrow damage during the crop harvest season.  In winter and early spring, house sparrows feed on the seeds of weeds and wild grasses, as well as a variety of food discarded by humans.

    (3) When do sparrows breed?

    The reproductive ability of sparrows is relatively strong, which is first reflected in the fact that they can reproduce more than once a year.

    In fact, sparrows living in warm areas in the south can reproduce every month of the year, and it is possible to see sparrows brooding and young sparrows learning to fly throughout the year.  However, if it is in the north, winter is sometimes relatively cold, and sparrows will not reproduce at this time.  They will start breeding when the temperature rises in spring, generally in March or April every year.

    In general, house sparrows reproduce more than once a year, at least twice.  Their specific reproduction times are related to the suitability of the surrounding environment and the adequacy of food.  When the external environment is more suitable and the food is sufficient, the number of sparrows will reproduce more, otherwise their number of reproduction will be less.

    (4) How sparrows reproduce

    As a bird, sparrows reproduce by laying eggs just like other birds.  When it comes to the breeding season, the male sparrow and the female sparrow will mate first. At this time, they will perform some relatively intimate behaviors, such as trimming each other's feathers, touching each other, feeding each other, etc., and one of the sparrows may also climb to the other side.  On the body of a sparrow.  After mating, they lay eggs, and they usually lay 4-6 eggs each time.  Then there is hatching. After about 11-12 days of hatching, the little sparrow can break out of its shell.  The big birds then brood and, in addition to finding them something to eat, teach them to fly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
