Section 3 Secret Weapon to Catch Sparrows

After the end of the de-impurities in the seed production paddy field, the rice will enter the normal filling and fruiting stage, and the heavy ears will be yellow every day. Because the seed setting rate of the mother parent is low, the nutrients of the plant are sufficient, the leaves are still green and bright, and the rice grains are exceptionally full. The seed setting rate of the male rice is originally high, because the pollen scrapes off the top of the sword leaves, after the grain is filled, it is like a row of rice handles standing there neatly and closely, a gratifying harvest scene.

It is unimaginable that there are so many sparrows on Hainan Island, often in flocks in the rice fields.

It doesn't matter if a sparrow eats a little bit of paternal rice, but if it eats the hybrid rice seeds from the female parent, it is not an ordinary loss.

Of course, the sparrows can't tell which ones can be eaten and which ones are not allowed to be eaten as seeds. Moreover, because the grains on the female parent are fuller than those of the wind father, and the glume shell of the male rice ear is brown because of some injury to the pollen, it may not be able to arouse the bird's appetite, and there are fewer sparrows that fall on the male parent. At first, no one in the breeding team noticed this phenomenon, but later it was discovered that the fields near the entrance of the village and the woods were full of rice husks that had been destroyed by sparrows, which attracted great attention.

The breeding team decided to concentrate on catching the sparrows before the harvest.

However, thousands of sparrows, when they fall down, they are black and oppressive, how can you just drive them away? There are so many sparrows, which is unexpected by all the breeding team. As a last resort, the breeding team racked their brains and came up with many solutions.

First of all, pull up a rope net in the field of making farming, insert bamboo poles everywhere, tie the rope with different lengths, colorful cloth strips and plastic paper, there are people in the field with bamboo poles to inspect, as soon as they see a flock of sparrows flying, they wave the flag and shout, pull the rope net, for a time the field is full of colorful stripes fluttering, the sparrows see this formation, hovering in the air for a while, did not dare to land on the head of the rice and flew away.

After a long time, the sparrows also figured out the temperament of human beings, and they were not so rational about waving flags and shouting. You pounce, it flies, you stop, it stops, it stops, and they grow bolder. So, they had to come up with the stupidest way to deal with the sparrows.

They tied colorful ribbons to the tops of their long bamboo poles, and took turns patrolling the fields, and when they saw sparrows flying in, they would raise their throats and cry wolf howls before they stopped.

However, due to the fact that there are too many fields, there are only a dozen people, and many people are busy preparing for the work before the harvest, and the people who come to see the sparrows take turns on duty.

In the end, they simply knocked on the basin. However, this method didn't work for a few days.

At noon that day, Ma Linxi and Xing Yiyou knocked on the basin to catch sparrows in the field, and it happened that Accountant Gao came back from outside.

"I see what you're doing. No rest at noon?" asked Accountant Gao with a smile.

"Pick up the sparrows. Malinsi said.

"The breeding team is so stingy. How much can sparrows eat? Accountant Gao joked.

"It's not that our breeding team is stingy, it's that your 'finches' are too bad. Xing Yiyou and Accountant Gao have long been good friends, and they often joke freely, regardless of meat and vegetarianism, so they joke with her with a pun.

"You're really ......" Accountant Gao blushed and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"I'm kidding you, don't take Accountant Gao seriously. Hee-hee. Xing Yiyou showed two rows of big yellow teeth that were very sorry.

"Accountant Gao, what's a good way to catch sparrows?" Marlincy diverted the subject.

"Hmm. Accountant Gao thought for a moment and said, "Hey, you can use the tape recorder." ”

"Tape recorder?" Marlinsi asked, wide-eyed.

"yes. VCRs. Accountant Gao said seriously.

"We do have a tape recorder. That thing can also work, huh?" Xing Yiyou immediately asked seriously.

"Last year, I saw people in Lingshui. It's also your mainland breeding team. How hard to work like you. Accountant Gao said.

"Oh. Ma Linxi felt a little incredulous and asked, "Do you see how people do it?" ”

"yes. It's weird. Xing Yiyou said.

"It's just playing tapes with a VCC. The volume is turned up widely. Carrying it in his hand and turning around in the field, no bird dares to pull aside. Accountant Gao gestured solemnly.

It's incredible.

The next day, Ma Linxi was skeptical, and according to the method told by the accountant Gao, he loaded the laptop VCR that he had brought to the head of the county seed station, loaded with new batteries and a box of breakdancing music tapes, and carried them to the field.

It was still Ma Linxi and Xing Yiyou on duty.

Ma Linxi held a VCR and Xing Yiyou held a long bamboo pole, and the two sat side by side on the ridge under the coconut tree, chatting in the shade while keeping a close eye on the rice field to prevent sparrow invasion. At the same time, I also hope that this new weapon will really work as Gao said.

"Hey, you see a bunch of sparrows flying over there. Xing Yiyou touched Ma Linxi.

"Really. Ma Linxi subconsciously pinched the volume switch of the VCR and said, "Don't be busy." Don't chase them, wait for them all to fall. ”

"Holy shit, that's a lot. Xing Yiyou said indignantly: "Hmm. It's all gone. It's on. Turn on the recorder quickly. ”

Ma Linxi hurriedly stood up, turned the horn in the direction where the sparrow had just fallen, turned the volume switch of the VCR to the maximum, raised it high above his head, and the piercing break dance music immediately resounded in the air.

The sparrows suddenly heard this deafening sound, and they flew up in shock, and disappeared from their sight in a black and black way.

"Huh. It's a really good thing. Xing Yiyou laughed heartily.

"Let's go. Let's go over there and look around a few fields. With that, Ma Linxi pulled up Xing Yiyou.

Ma Linxi wore a straw hat, carried the VCR with great vigour, and walked on the ridge with Xing Yiyou.

The ridge is very narrow, like a sheep's intestine trail twisting and turning. The volume in the machine was turned up to the maximum, and the ear drums were buzzing.

Ma Linxi thought that his appearance must be quite funny, crooked, dancing, very much like having a few more drinks at noon, which amused Xing Yiyou who was walking behind.

"If there was a camera to capture it, it would be beautiful. Xing Yiyou said.

"Why?" asked Marinthi, almost falling into the rice field.

"You say, how can anyone carry the world's most fashionable VCR to the field? People carry it on the street, and Haikou and Sanya are not like that. People are carrying, you are carrying, like an ammunition box carried in a war. Hahaha. Xing Yiyou laughed happily.
