Chapter 27

Li Junge looked at the decay of the pig worm and said to Wang Congjun: "For the happy life of the pig worm, my brothers and sisters will work hard today?"

Wang Congjun was puzzled: "Oh, it's hard to catch this bird, and it takes an afternoon to toss." ”

Li Junge was secretly funny, thinking that Wang Congjun was too bad, this bird is the easiest to be fooled if he is stupid, it is quite easy to catch, Li Jiagou can catch any child, but he cooperated with Wang Congjun on his mouth and said: "Yes, I have to put a bamboo rat on it, and I don't know if there is enough time." ”

Zhu Chao'an has been in the society for a long time, and when he saw this, he immediately gave up his hand and said: "Brother, two good brothers, you have done this for your brother today, I didn't say it, anywhere in Jiachuan County, you say, I please." ”

Li Junge and Wang Congjun laughed, and Li Junge said, "Okay, then it's decided!"

After Li Junge returned to Uncle Maker's house, there was a pile of tiles used to repair the roof, Li Junge chose seven or eight pieces of neatly shaped ones, and then went to Uncle Craftsman's kitchen to scoop two spoonfuls of cold rice out, and returned to the bamboo bush.

At this time, Wang Congjun had already leveled a few places in the bamboo bushes, and Li Junge put the tiles on the ground, drew a rectangle along the edge of the tiles, and dug a shallow pit.

Buckle the tiles in the shallow pit, check around the tiles, the depth is just level with the top of the tiles, the surrounding are tightly sealed, open and close smoothly, and then take the tiles, and dig a small circle of small pits in the middle of the shallow pit.

Throwing the machete to Wang Congjun and asking him to dig a pit, Li Junge broke off three small bamboo pipes, buckled the tiles on the square pit, lifted one end, inserted a bamboo stick first, and then hit the second bamboo stick horizontally on the top of the first bamboo stick.

The third bamboo stick is placed vertically on the second stick, this is the fine work, and if you are not careful, the bamboo stick in the middle will be rolled, and the tiles will be buckled.

Slowly adjusting the center of gravity, Li Junge finally set up the bamboo sticks, and the three bamboo sticks were like a "ten" character, holding up the tiles.

Gently pulling out his hand, Li Junge sprinkled some rice grains into the pit and the edge of the pit, and went to install the next trap.

Li Junge and Wang Congjun dug one by one, and in less than half an hour, seven or eight tile traps were placed.

The two got up and clapped their hands, and Li Junge said, "It's over, continue to go up the mountain." ”

Zhu Chaoan felt that this trap was rough and unscientific, and hesitated: "Two brothers, this is the end?"

Li Junge smiled: "Let's do this first, and we'll see the effect later." ”

The four of them continued to walk up the hill and came to a large bamboo forest.

It is very tall and has a lot of space under the forest, and the ground is covered with fallen bamboo leaves, and there are occasional low shrubs mixed in it.

Occasionally, a soil hole will be found on the ground, and the exit is smooth, and that is the bamboo rat hole.

However, there are no bamboo rats in such holes, they have already left.

Walking to another hole, this hole was covered by fresh soil, and when the bamboo leaves next to it were removed, there were a few black droppings, which indicated that the bamboo rats in this hole were still there.

After searching along the hole, Li Junge found a rat path, like a path in the bamboo forest.

On the rat path a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, Li Junge began to install the cover.

Bend down a bamboo pole, tie the rope of the sleeve to the bamboo pole at one end, and install a mechanism on the ground, which is actually a clip, a blocking stick, and a few stepping sticks, all of which are made of bamboo sticks, similar to pheasant sets.

When the bamboo rat steps on the stick, the clip will be triggered, and the bamboo pole will bounce up, and the sleeve will be tightened to trap the bamboo rat.

The teeth and claws of bamboo rats are very powerful, so the front part of the sleeve must be made of steel wire, which is not the same as the pheasant sleeve.

A few people took a turn in the bamboo forest and put down a dozen or so sets.

Li Junge said: "Okay, the sleeve is finished, whether you can eat bamboo rat meat tomorrow depends on God's will." ”

Liang Huili asked, "Is there any other way to catch this bamboo rat?"

Li Junge said: "There are many other methods, the simplest and crudest is to dig with a hoe, but that method is a bit tiring, and you have to dig up one side of the soil to catch it." And the bamboo rat will also dig a way out horizontally in it, so sometimes people dig a hole and can't find it. In addition, it can also be smoked and watered, but this will hurt the little bamboo rats, which is a bit more than worth the loss. ”

Liang Huili asked again: "Can this thing be raised? If someone in the countryside raises this, can it also get rich? This thing is so expensive in the city, much more expensive than rabbits." I saw in Shudu that it would sell for more than a hundred pounds. ”

Li Junge's heart moved, and said: "Hey, your idea is good, you can try it when you get a small bamboo rat one day, the wild adult rat is too timid, and it is estimated that it is not easy to raise." Besides, more than 100 is the price of the first month, the bamboo rats at that time were the fattest, and the braised winter bamboo shoots were a must. The current bamboo rats are estimated to be about fifty or sixty. ”

The four of them walked down the mountain, passing by the place where the tile trap was placed just now, Li Junge said, "Let's go, take a look." ”

When they came to the bamboo bush, Li Junge and Wang Congjun checked the tiles and found that many tiles had been buckled.

Liang Huili and Zhu Chaoan followed behind, watching Li Junge and Wang Congjun tap the tiles on the buckle one by one.

There is movement under some tiles.

Liang Huili and Zhu Chaoan shouted happily: "Caught! Caught!"

Li Junge laughed and said, "Don't be too happy, maybe it's a mouse." ”

Liang Huili was about to follow and knock on the tiles, when she heard this, she jumped in fright. Annoyed and shouted, "Dead Erpi!"

Li Junge laughed and said: "Pig worm, hurry up, go to Uncle Carpenter to get a cage, remember to tell him that it is for red-mouthed jade, don't take it into a thrush cage." ”

Zhu Chao'an went to fart, and after a while, he took a small square cage over.

Li Junge opened a crack in the tile, and a small red mouth stretched out from the crack, and Li Junge reached out and fished it out, and a small bird was caught in his hand.

Glancing at the bird's beak, Li Junge said, "This is still a young bird." With that, he put a hand and let the bird fly away happily.

Zhu Chaoan stomped his feet beside him and shouted, "Hey, why did you release the bird?"

Li Junge said: "This bird's beak is not red enough, which means that it is not yet an adult, and you can't raise it if you take it back, so it is better to let it go." ”

After digging three more small traps, two males and one female were found, Li Junge chose a pair and released the rest of them.

Wang Congjun also lifted the remaining tiles and released the birds inside.

Zhu Chaoan took the birdcage and looked at the brightly colored birds inside, so happy that he couldn't see his eyebrows.

Li Junge asked, "Did you give Uncle Smith money for the cage?"

Zhu Chaoan stomped his feet and said, "Ouch, I patronized and was happy, and I forgot about this." ”

Li Junge said: "That's okay, if I go to Uncle Qian Craftsman now, I won't accept it, and when I come to collect the condom tomorrow, I will bring a bottle of 1573 that you gave me." ”

Zhu Chaoan said: "That wine is a thousand bottles." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "Then you can steal the fun, yesterday I helped Uncle Craftsman sell a small bamboo tube, and people gave two thousand without a counteroffer." ”

The three of them expressed their disbelief, and Li Junge didn't say much.

He went down the mountain and returned the machete to Uncle Smith, and told him to come back to see him tomorrow and retrieve the puppy.

Along the way, the fat man's eyes couldn't leave the pair of lovesick birds in the cage, and he tripped several times when he walked.

On the way home, Li Junge went to the uncle's field to select a few corn that was still tender, and prepared to take it home to make bud grain baba for the three of them.

On the way, Zhu Chaoan asked Li Junge: "How should I raise this bird?"

Li Junge said: "This is simple, you see a bird food jar and a water pitcher here, you will take some chicken feed from my house later, the nutrients in it are all prepared, just use that to feed, and occasionally feed some millet leaves or something." ”

Passing by the rice field at the entrance of the village, I saw two teenage and half-old leather babies fishing at the outlet of the rice field, and a seven or eight-year-old little girl squatting on the ridge with a bamboo basket.

Li Junge shouted: "Xiao Song! Xiao Bai! Homework is done, take Xiao Qiu to shop here!"

The two and a half big Pi Wa are cousins, one is called Wang Xiaosong, the other is called Wang Xiaobai, and the seven or eight-year-old one is called Li Yunqiu. ”

Wang Xiaosong said: "Uncle Erpi, we have all finished our homework, and we have nothing to do and come to catch loaches to play." ”

The parents of the three children are all working outside, and they are all brought by their grandparents, and they can be regarded as left-behind children, and there are many such families in the village, and the three of them live close to each other, so they like to play together.

Li Yunqiu saw the cage in Zhu Chao'an's hand and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing with the red-mouthed jade?" Do you want to take it home and roast it?"

Zhu Chao'an had a black line in his head, rolled his eyes and said, "This is what my uncle took home to please his daughter-in-law and raise to play." ”

Li Yunqiu said: "Then your daughter-in-law will beat you." ”

Zhu Chao'an was surprised and asked, "Little sister, why do you say that?"

Li Yunqiu said: "The red-mouthed jade is the stupidest, I can catch a lot of it in a day, is it really good for you to take it to your daughter-in-law?"

Zhu Chao'an turned his head to look at Li Junge and Wang Congjun, suddenly reacted, and shouted angrily: "You two liars! And tell me that this bird is difficult to catch, and it will take an afternoon! These seven or eight-year-old dolls can be caught! Yes, you have a few tiles in less than half an hour!

Wang Congjun laughed and said: "Pig worm, you have to talk about conscience, we will be on the tile at two o'clock, and we will catch these two birds for you after four o'clock, isn't it an afternoon of tossing?"

Zhu Chaoan pointed at Wang Congjun's nose and shouted: "You two liars, you just bully me and don't understand anything." ”

Liang Huili squatted down holding her stomach with a smile on the side.

Li Junge looked at the bamboo basket in Li Yunqiu's arms, which contained only a dozen loaches the thickness of his little finger, and said, "What are you doing with such a small one? Why don't you catch the designated fertilizer in the barren terraces on the mountain?"

Wang Xiaobai said: "Grandpa said that there were wild boars at the foot of the mountain recently, and told us not to run around. ”

Li Junge immediately changed his words and said: "Well, your grandfather is right, you are so good, you have to listen to the old man's words." As a reward for your obedience, I have decided to buy the loaches you caught!"
