In the early summer morning, the air is particularly fresh, and the valley in the distance is full of water vapor, giving people a feeling of fluttering fairy. Along the way, the mountain road is full of flowers and bees, and it is a completely vibrant scene.

No sooner had he turned a bush than the general suddenly let out a low roar.

The crowd followed the sound, but there was nothing.

Liu Daode didn't use his sense at all, relying entirely on experience, and looked among the branches of the surrounding trees - it didn't take much effort to see a bird's nest in the hollow of the straight dirt slope next to the bushes, and there were three bird's eggs in the nest. There is also a white remnant flower next to it, which just covers the depression and is quite hidden.

Liu Daode was no longer surprised by this thing, and he couldn't raise his interest at all. Lin Xiaotong was very interested, and while the old bird was not at home, he hurriedly raised his camera to take a few photos up close, and then asked what kind of bird eggs it was.

"The eggs of the mountain sparrow, this thing is much better than the call of the house sparrow," Liu Daode replied casually. According to the experience accumulated when he was a child, he is now a small encyclopedia of birds' eggs, and he knows what kind of bird it is by just looking at the color of the bird's eggs with his eyes.

For example, the magpie egg is round, a bit like a ping pong ball, the eggshell is white, very thin and brittle, and it will break when touched.

The eggs of the oriole are pink with purple spots, and the eggs of the egret are oval, similar to the eggs, and the color is blue. Quail eggs are earthy gray with pockmarks.

"Why don't you see the old bird hatching eggs?" Dad Lin asked strangely.

"I was frightened away by the general, and I hid around here. Let's leave, and it will fly back immediately. "Mountain sparrows generally don't abandon their nests unless an old bird encounters some unexpected situation.

There is no scenery to see in the back mountain, Liu Daode led Lin's father and Lin's mother to bypass it directly and walk slowly along the mountain stream.

This is the time when the mountains are lively, with all kinds of birds chirping and chirping, and occasionally a squirrel or two poking their heads out of the trees overhead, watching the group of uninvited guests.

Hearing Mother Lin's angry voice a little panting, Liu Daode hurriedly found a big stone, and his divine sense was released, feeling that there were no insects, snakes, rats and ants around, so he put his mind at ease and let the second elder sit down and rest.

"Wow, there are a lot of chrysanthemums in this area...... There are also wild onions, let's dig some and make scallion pancakes at noon and eat them" Lin Xiaotong deliberately brought a few plastic bags and small shovels when he entered the mountain, and now they all come in handy.

"This is what you brought to the family, it used to grow in the grass......" Dad Lin was very interested when he saw it, and he also squatted on the ground to help.

Subsequently, Lin Ma joined in.

I really want to eat Ju Julian, there are so many outside his yard that he doesn't need to go so far to pick it up. But they were all busy, and Liu Daode was not embarrassed to be idle, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

He can see that Lin Xiaotong's appearance follows his father, but his neat energy to do things definitely follows Lin's mother. The old lady bent over, kept her hands, and in a few minutes, she made a large handful.

Lin Dad had a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and he walked farther and farther, but he didn't pick up a few in his hands. But when he saw the slender plants among the grass, he exclaimed in surprise: "Orchid, there are wild orchids in this mountain?"

"Well," Liu Daode replied disappreciatively: "Yes, but there are not many outside the mountain, if you want to dig it, you still have to go to the mountain."

The wild orchids on the nearby mountains are not a rare species, and in Liu Daodao's impression, except for a few plants that tourists occasionally pick and dig, there seem to be few families in the village who like to grow this thing. The main reason is that the flowers of orchids are small and not attractive at all. If you want to plant canna, chrysanthemum, moon season or something, the flowers are conspicuous and cute.

Regarding Liu Daodao's rhetoric, Dad Lin didn't believe it. He looked down and searched among the grass in the valley in the hope of digging up two rare orchids. As a result, I went farther and farther, and soon I was distancing.

It's nothing to separate, the terrain of this valley is simple, a small stream runs through the north and south, and it is difficult to get lost. In addition, Liu Daode is also leading the general, so even if Dad Lin is lost, it is nothing.

Dad Lin searched all the way, and when he passed by the thatched bushes by the stone, he subconsciously turned his head and found that there was a hole the size of a bowl under the stone.

The old man was curious, and he broke a branch next to him, and threw it with his hand, only to find that the hole was quite deep, but there seemed to be no movement.

The old man turned his head to give up, but suddenly he saw a beast with black and white hair rushing out of it, rushing straight at him, baring its teeth and screaming at him.

"Ahh......h Come on!" Dad Lin was startled and hurriedly shouted.

Liu Daode heard the sound for the first time, and hurriedly got up, and saw the old man holding a branch in his hand, waving it constantly, and screaming in his mouth.

You won't be so kind of back, touching the homespun bag...... He didn't dare to delay, shouted the general, and ran away.

"Dad, what's wrong, what's going on?" Lin Xiaotong threw away the plastic bag in his hand and shouted as he ran.

"Come and see, what kind of animal is this, so fierce!" Dad Lin shouted.

Liu Daode strode into the meteor, and in less than a minute, he rushed to the hillside, and saw a guy with a gray body and white hair on his face screaming fiercely.

"It's ...... Badger?!" He exclaimed with some surprise when he saw the animal's appearance.

When the general arrived, he was about to pounce on him, but was stopped by Liu Daodao.

Looking at the appearance of this thing, it should still be in the feeding period...... Unleashed his senses, and sure enough, he found a few little guys in the cave.

"What badger?" Dad Lin couldn't hear clearly.

"The badger is our local name here, and the scientific name is the pig badger. This thing is generally very timid, and will actively avoid humans when they see it. It's the season for badgers to give birth, and it is estimated that he wants to protect his cubs," Liu Daode explained.

Good guy, I haven't seen this thing near Liu Village in Hedong for many years. Suddenly I saw it, and it was a little kind.

When Liu Daode was a child, there were still many badgers near the village. This thing, like wild boars, is not treated well by rural people. Every autumn night, groups sneak out to eat the crops.

The pig badger is not very tall, only twenty or thirty centimeters tall. It stands to reason that corn grows halfway up the stalk, and the badger can't reach it at all. But this thing has a trick, they will use a little bit to overwhelm the crop, and then they will come over and nibble on the corn. A group of pig badgers can spoil half an acre of bud valley in the middle of the night, which makes people hate itchy.

Therefore, in autumn and winter, the villagers will go around in groups of three or five along the ditch or on the hillside to catch pig badgers.

I remember that at that time, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town seemed to buy this thing, and they could only sell it for more than ten yuan, which was already a lot of income for farmers.

The method of catching a badger is simple, except for digging a hole, that is, using smoke.

In addition, this thing has a habit of hibernating, and it eats itself very fat before hibernation, almost covered in oil. There is a saying in Liu Village, Hedong Province called "a pound of badger eight taels of oil", which is the case. Badger oil can clear away heat and detoxify, and the treatment effect of scalding is wonderful.
