best day

In winter, the banks of Poyang Lake exude a cool atmosphere. Dewey followed Fang Yu all the way to a certain county in Jiujiang, and he couldn't help being frozen by the cold that is unique to the south. He tightened his scarf and asked with a white breath: " Where do we go for interviews, we are not familiar with the place of life.”

Fang Yu took the camera all the way to the hut by the water, and said, "That's the duty room of the Forestry Bureau, let's go and have a look first."

Dewey snorted, put on his hat again, and followed silently.

At the beginning of the internship, he still had a lot of nonsense and questions, but after being helplessly troubled by the master, he finally calmed down.

——…

It was smoky and dimly lit.

Fang Yu coughed and choked on the strong smell of smoke, and asked the men sitting in a circle playing cards in the back room, "Who is the person in charge here?"

The staff were probably fishing, and when they saw the cameras and the logo of the TV station, they hurriedly stopped them, and hurriedly packed up the playing cards and opened the old curtains.

Fang Yu explained the purpose of coming, a man quickly picked up the old work notebooks, talked perfunctorily about their protection of winter migratory birds, and described himself as an excellent model of dedication.

On the way here, De Weihai saw swans poisoned by pesticide seeds in the water, and couldn't help asking: "Then why did I find out about poisoned swans? I could find it the first time I came here. You guys found out?" no?"

The man seemed helpless and said: "This is a big deal, and we can't prevent it. Just after the inspection in the morning, those people came out to spread poisonous seeds again. There are people catching swans and wild ducks in tens of kilometers of water. The net has also been cleaned up a lot..."

Dewey didn't like to hear such meaningless complaints, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Fang Yu glanced at him, still calmly asked about the situation, and then took everyone outside.

Dewey, who had a strong sense of justice, said, "I think it's the collusion between the government and the people. They took advantage of others."

Fang Yu smiled lightly: "Then you can't be so aggressive, it's enough to reflect the facts, a swan costs a thousand yuan, and catching hundreds of them in one night is a huge sum of money for the people here , It’s not that there have been no guides in the past, but here for a long time, people rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to eat water, and rely on geese to eat geese, so it’s not useful just by reasoning, understand?”

Dewey hummed: "Then let's record a few episodes and broadcast it and then we're done? It can't solve the problem at all."

Fang Yu asked back: "Who told you that you have to solve the problem yourself when doing news? Do you think you are the emperor's private visit? The most important thing is to let the public know the facts."

Dewey hesitated to speak, and walked to the side of the road not convinced.

——…

As a vast freshwater lake, Poyang Lake welcomes countless migratory birds to inhabit here every winter. There are more than 8 beautiful swans alone. However, in recent years, more and more people here rely on killing migratory birds for a living. The living environment of swans is getting worse and worse. Dewey, who has done a lot of homework and is full of confidence, came here. Seeing the dereliction of duty of the management staff and the rampant trend of catching and eating swans, he felt very uncomfortable, especially Fang Yu's attitude as a leader He has been lukewarm, which makes him feel very disappointed.

On this day, they came out of the first small restaurant selling swan meat in a heavy atmosphere. They made an appointment with a local animal protection volunteer to go to the lake to film the notorious "Skynet" - because the lakeside There are many small fish and shrimps in the shallow water area, and swans like to come here to hunt and rest, so people often set up dense nets here, entangle the flying swans, and harvest the injured birds on the net regularly.

Wearing big rain boots and a waterproof suit, Dewey still felt terribly cold, but he didn't care about so many things. He was busy helping people cut off the skynet along the way, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.

"Damn, I'm crazy about money, so much money." Ermeng struggled to pick up the bamboo pole and net, and cursed dirtyly.

The volunteer smiled helplessly: "These [-] kilometers are all Skynet, and it can't be cut down."

Fang Yu didn't respond, but suddenly pointed to a distance away and said, "Look."

Dewey searched for his reputation, and saw a snow-white swan hanging miserably on the net, its wings intertwined in a very distorted posture, and bloody feathers fell in the earth-colored water.

They hurriedly followed the camera and walked towards the poor bird, but there were bursts of mournful chirping overhead.

It was another, bigger swan, threatening them but not daring to approach.

In the eyes of small animals, human beings are too powerful after all.”

"It might be its mate, hey." The volunteer seemed to have dealt with this kind of situation often. He skillfully cut off the net around the swan, put it gently in the water, and sighed, "It can't be done."

Dewey's childishness was particularly evident in the face of the tragedy. He stared at them for a long time with pain on his face, and said in a low voice, "Then let's not bother them."

The volunteer shook his head: "Someone will come to pick it up and sell it soon, and the other one is always wandering here, which is also very dangerous."

Dewey watched helplessly as he picked up the dying swan and became a little dejected.

The atmosphere of this team seems to be getting heavier and heavier.

After walking a few more miles, two small black figures finally appeared in the twilight and broke the desperate net formation before everyone's eyes.

Dewey took the volunteer's arm and asked, "What are you doing?"

Number of volunteers: "It seems to be catching birds. They smashed up my car last time. Are you chasing me?"

Fang Yu estimated the difference in the number of people between the two sides, nodded and said, "Shoot for a while."

Apparently the bird hunters were also watching the situation quietly, and those who were a little flustered turned around and ran away.

Fang Yu's original intention was to get more material. Who knew that Dewey ran as fast as a puppy, and his physical strength was so good that even in the water, it didn't stop him from chasing those people with a heavy net on his back.

The person who stole the swan was also frightened, and even picked up an air gun and fired randomly.

Fang Yu was afraid that something might happen to Ermeng, so he yelled, "Dewey, stop!"

But Dewey probably was stimulated by seeing the dead swan just now, so he took a machete and wanted to pounce on it without any fear.

Fortunately, the cameraman gave the camera to his colleague in a panic, sprinted fiercely in the water, grabbed Dewey and gasped and said, "Forget it, don't make trouble."

Fang Yu was half-dead with anger: "You are crazy, how can I tell your brother that something happened to you?"

"I..." Dewey lowered his head as if losing all strength, and said after a long time, "Swans are his favorite animals. I don't like this, it's annoying."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the vast water.

Fang Yu didn't ask who he was, and he would understand without asking.
