Chapter 13 Picking up a foodie
Liu Daode was not sure whether he sensed a big fish or a water monster, it should be more likely that the fish was more likely. This reservoir has not been dry for decades, and it is normal to store large fish in it.
A few days ago, there was a tourist who caught a carp weighing more than 20 catties, which caused quite a stir.
released his divine sense sensing a few more times, and found that there was no abnormality in the water, so Liu Daode put this matter behind him.
No matter what is hidden in the reservoir, as long as it takes a long time, it will one day show its traces.
He came out today, not all to hang out, but also to pick some wild fungus.
Upstream of the reservoir there are several hairy trees with the thickness of basins, and the main trunk has been drilled through by the longhorn beetle, and it is semi-decayed. Such trees are not very useful except for fire, but they also have the characteristic that they are easy to grow fungus. And last night it rained heavily, and there should have been a lot of fungus growing on the trunk.
When he came to the tree, he was not disappointed, and the trunk of the lying tree was densely covered with fungus.
He hurriedly took out the plastic bag he had brought with him, squatted next to the roots of the tree and picked it.
After a while, the plastic bag was filled.
He stood up, intending to beckon the general to go back. When I turned my head, I found that this guy was half-squatting by the river, and suddenly jumped into the water.
The water on the shore was only twenty or thirty centimeters deep, and even the general's head could not be filled. When it came ashore wet, it had something dirty in its mouth.
It can't be a wild duck, looking at the dirty feathers, Liu Daode guessed.
When the general approached, he realized that it was not a water duck, but an owl that had just come out of its shell, with a layer of mud on its feathers, and its eyes closed, lying motionless on the ground, and it seemed that it was not far from death.
How can owl chicks ...... in the water? It is estimated that it was rainy and windy last night, and this little thing fell off the nest and was washed into the river.
Liu Daode released his divine sense, and there was no discovery of the owl's nest around, and it seemed that it had rushed down from the upstream.
The little guy didn't have much gas anymore, so Liu Daode had to touch it in the palm of his hand and input a trace of incense power.
The body was nourished by the power of incense, and the owl baby opened its eyes for a moment and made a cooing sound.
There is also salvation, he breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to take it home and raise it first, and then release it when it was raised, it was a life.
Then, Liu Daode carried a plastic bag of fungus, held an owl in his hand, and led the general home from the back of the village.
For owls, there is a saying in Shannan Town that "night cats come into the house and come for nothing," but Liu Daode is not so particular.
What...... Is it possible that his dignified land lord can't even be suppressed by a wild cat?
When I got it home, I saw that this little thing was dirty, Liu Daode directly threw it into a basin and washed it a few times, and then dried it with a hair dryer and put it in a cardboard box.
Not to mention that this little thing was covered in mud and dirty at first, and it couldn't be seen like a bird. Now that they have been washed and dried, their feathers are fluffy, and their pale blue eyes are round, and they look very cute.
But how should I raise owls? Liu Daode had a headache again, it seemed that this guy was a meat eater.
It's too much work to dig up mice, so why don't you go to the ditch and catch a few frogs first. The weather has been warm these days, and quite a few frogs have come out.
There was a drainage ditch four or five meters wide on the side of the road in front of the door, and he stood on the edge of the ditch, released his sense, and immediately found a green frog hiding in the grass two or three meters away.
It is said that since fusing with the talisman in his mind, Liu Daode found that his body was much better than before.
One pounced, and before the frog in the grass could react, it was covered under his palm.
The owl baby bird was probably hungry, and as soon as Liu Daodao made the frog into meat strips and sent it over, the little guy couldn't wait to open his mouth and choke, and swallowed it with a lifting of his neck.
Then he opened his mouth wide and cooed.
Seeing that it worked, Liu Daode hurriedly put the remaining frog meat on the plate and handed it over.
The little thing was swallowed, but in about ten minutes, a frog ate it all.
At the end, he still opened his mouth and flapped his wings and screamed.
"Wouldn't you have eaten yet?" Liu Daode went to the ditch to catch another one.
When it was processed and put on the plate, three times five divided by two, the owl chicks ate the food again.
Then continue to open your mouth, flap your wings, and scream.
Kouhu...... What the hell is the situation, the two frogs combined, the size is almost the size of an owl cub, is it possible that they are not full yet.
Liu Daode was afraid of breaking the little guy and decided not to pay attention to it.
Who knew that the little thing fluttered its wings in the cardboard box, and the cry was even more joyful.
Troubled by the noise, he had to go outside and catch a frog again.
Then repeat the action above...... The young owl eats the frog and continues to call.
When the fourth frog had eaten into its stomach, it finally closed its mouth, lay comfortably in the nest, and slept with its eyes closed.
Finally fed this guy, what a foodie.
Liu Daode breathed a sigh of relief, moved a chair and sat under the peach tree, and began to read the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics of Taishang". After last night's events, he realized that this book might be able to solve some of the confusion he encountered in his practice.
I read more than a dozen pages, and my head was dizzy. He closed the book helplessly: "I still can't understand it...... I really don't have the material to learn. ”
He can't understand the monastic language in the book, and he doesn't force it.
A few days ago, I saw a sentence said by Patriarch Bai Yuchan in the book, "You don't have to seek the Tao on the futon", Liu Daode felt that it was very reasonable.
Studying the Commentary on the Thirteen Sutras on oneself is only to verify Shinto practice, and to focus entirely on this book is to put the cart before the horse.
Cultivation is not about reading books and learning, and you don't need to chew words. The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is not very Tao, and the cultivation experience of the predecessors is not necessarily practical when put on oneself.
There are many people who read the Tao and the scriptures, and there are very few people who can attain the Tao.
Cultivation is focused on cultivating the mind.
This heart is like a mirror, and it is also grinding and brushing, blindly referring to the pile of old papers, and simply forgetting the root of the avenue. Such people are learning more and more, but the Tao is losing day by day. How can it be accomplished, how can it be transcended?
Closed the book, went back to the house, took out the hoe, and continued to weed in the yard.
In his opinion, being busy with daily chores is not a kind of mental cultivation.
The rapeseed that was sown a few days ago has now come out, and it is green, but there are a lot of weeds in the middle.
It was more than two hours of busyness, and when it was almost dark, Liu Daode finally cleaned up the weeds in the vegetable field. These weeds were also not wasted and were thrown into a large pit outside the yard to feed the rabbits.
As soon as the rabbits were fed, there was another rapid cooing sound in the carton.
No, it's only been a few hours, and the owl chicks are hungry again? What the hell is it that I picked up, it's a complete treat.
In fact, he didn't know that owl chicks eat a lot of food before they can fly, and they can eat four times their body weight in one meal, and they need to eat four meals a day.
