Chapter 178: Digging Bamboo Rats
After washing the fish grass, Wang He deliberately walked around the fish pond to see if he could catch another soft-shelled turtle, this is not his whimsical, but the soft-shelled turtle caught last night is not an old soft-shelled turtle at first glance, the child is missing, can the fish at home not be anxious?
"You really don't come to look for it! Turtle, you must have grown up in an unfortunate family, and no relatives came to look for you if you disappeared. Wretched. ”
After searching for two laps but not finding it, Wang He had to go back home in a huff.
Just walked a few far, the on-face uncle led the cow over, led by a big buffalo, the two horns are big, curved and pointed to look a little scary, in fact, the temper is quite docile, but the previous life of Wang Heke has always been a little afraid of the cow, has not let go of the cow.
This large buffalo is the common property of a large family, and it is used in turns when plowing the fields, and it is also fed in turns according to the situation of the separated families. When it was Wang He's turn to graze, because he went to school in the town and was not often at home, his mother was herding cattle most of the time.
The cattle are mainly stared at during the period from planting the seedlings to cutting the rice, and the cattle are easy to herd after the rice is cut, and it is easy to drive it to the field to let it find grass to eat, and then drive it back at noon.
As soon as the uncle saw his eldest nephew, he shouted:
"Erer, do you have anything to do in the morning?"
Wang He replied:
"It's okay, uncle, I'm cutting fish grass and releasing ducks today. My mom said I couldn't help with the other jobs and didn't let me go. ”
Originally, Wang He also volunteered to help Li Feifeng work, but last week he made a body of mud when he was fetching spring water, which made Li Feifeng remember it vividly, thinking that although his son had become a little hero, he was still a rookie in farm work, so he didn't call him anymore.
Uncle smiled:
"That's great. Wait and bring a bucket, a snakeskin bag, and a hoe. Let's dig up bamboo rats. ”
When Wang He heard this, his eyes immediately lit up:
"Really? Wow, I'm going to get it. ”
The destination of the bamboo rat digging is in the rice field of Wang He's family, where there is a canal on the edge of the rice field, and on the edge of the canal is a gentle slope, on which a few clusters of bamboo, miscanthus grass and a few banana trees grow.
The banana tree was planted by Wang Xiangyu a few years ago, and he only planted one at that time, and now it has grown to four or five.
Wang He excitedly took the guy and the big Mao Ermao who came from Wen Xun and followed the uncle's ass to this place. The big buffalo was tied to a small tree next to it, and let it eat the old grass first, and then take it to eat the young grass when it could dig up the bamboo rat.
The uncle pointed to a few miscanthus grasses that had just begun to dry up and said to his three nephews:
"You see, looking at this, I should have just eaten it two or three days ago, which means that this bamboo rat should still be here. ”
The three attendants nodded their heads one after another.
Uncle Xiao took the sickle brought by Da Mao, opened the bow on the left and right of the grass, split the long and sharp grass, first found a hole, let Ermao block the hole with a hoe, and then continued to search, and after looking for a while, he said:
"Erer Da Mao, you find a few stones, there is a hole here. ”
Wang He and Da Mao found a stone and stepped forward to block the hole the size of an adult's fist. Uncle walked around, but didn't find the third hole, so he was relieved. This is all a long-term accumulated experience, before digging somewhere else, only to find two holes and then digging, as a result, the bamboo rat ran away from the third hole.
Once the preparations were made, the construction began.
Uncle dug up the hole found at the beginning, Wang He and Da Mao were responsible for fetching water, and Ermao was the youngest and was responsible for watching the excitement.
After pouring three or four buckets of water into the hole, a bamboo rat popped up, and when it saw a few people outside staring at it excitedly, it turned around in fright and ran away.
Bamboo rats have the opposite habits of humans, generally active and eating at night, and mostly sleep during the day. When the bamboo rat was asleep, it was woken up by the uncle and nephew of Wang, a temporary worker in the demolition and relocation office, and when it heard a movement at the front door, it immediately ran to the back door, but it did not expect to be blocked by a tightly blocked stone.
The shape of the bamboo rat is similar to that of the mouse, but it is larger, and the two large teeth on the upper and lower sides of the mouth are larger, sharper, and more yellow in color than the mouse. When the bamboo rat saw that the back door was blocked, and that its claws and teeth were defeated in the battle with the stones, and then the irrigation arrived, it hurriedly hid high in the hole, hoping to avoid the flooding, but it was soon disappointed.
Uncle once dug through the bamboo rat hole and studied the structure of the hole, knowing that the bamboo rat hole is generally similar to the shape of the word "several", and the bamboo rat can escape back, indicating that his work is not in place, the water is not enough, with a wave of his hand, Wang He and Da Mao continue to work with water. In fact, Da Mao is also playing soy sauce, because Wang He's strength is now comparable to that of an adult, and it is enough for him to carry water alone.
After pouring three buckets of water into the hole, the bamboo rat couldn't bear it anymore, and got out of the hole and was pinched by the uncle. This bamboo rat is not big, Wang He estimates that it will not exceed two catties, it is grinning in the hands of the uncle, and its limbs are moving.
Ermao took a miscanthus to pluck its big yellow teeth, and teased it at the same time:
"Aren't you very good at biting? ”
"Hahaha......"
After the uncle showed his nephew the loot, he put the bamboo rat in a snakeskin bag.
Seeing that Uncle Xiao was about to leave, Da Mao hurriedly said:
"Uncle, do you still see what is in the cave?"
Uncle shook his head and said:
"There won't be. This bamboo rat is no more than two catties, and it should have just become an adult and became independent. Bamboo rats survive independently when they become adults. Unless it is an old bamboo rat, it will live with the small one. ”
Uncle is not very old, and he has already dug a lot of bamboo rats, and he understands the situation of bamboo rats very thoroughly.
After finishing the work, everyone's excitement has not subsided, the uncle herds the cattle, and Wang He and the two cousins are divided into two ways, wanting to continue the efforts and dig one more, who knows that this matter is sometimes fateful, and deliberately looking for it but can't find it.
Seeing that the three of them came back a little depressed, the uncle smiled and said:
"Didn't find it, did it? I found it by accident yesterday afternoon when I was chasing ducks past here. There are people in the village who specialize in digging bamboo rats, and they will come and go from time to time, and we are lucky to meet this one. ”
Luck is such a thing, sometimes there is really no way to explain, when you are unlucky, you can stuff your teeth when you drink cold water, but when you are lucky, you can't stop it. In the morning, I deliberately went to look for the bamboo rat and didn't find it, but in the afternoon, a bigger guy suddenly appeared in front of Wang He.
In the afternoon, Wang He still went fishing with Da Mao Ermao, and this time he went to the rice field of his uncle of the same clan to hunt. After fishing, he went to drive the ducks back in the rice field, and then Da Mao Ermao came over and prepared to watch cartoons in Wang He's room.
The second uncle's house also has a TV, but children have always liked to be lively, especially Wang He has become the idol of his two cousins, and he can't wait to follow this martial arts master cousin from time to time.
