Chapter 184: Reptile Lizard = ?
After tying the hairy crab with a straw rope tied to the waistband of his pants, he threw it directly to the shore.
Just as he was about to continue, suddenly, another little baby's cry came, and Li Chen's movements suddenly stopped.
The timbre was about the same as before, and he was pretty sure he heard it right!
Could it be a ghost?
This was Li Chen's first thought, and then he threw this idea out of his mind, he didn't believe in ghosts or anything.
It was impossible to say that there were other people here, but he had searched the entire sinkhole, and he had not seen any human activity.
Li Chen guessed a lot, but found that he couldn't guess at all, because there are many animals that can make this kind of sound in nature!
I didn't think about it, so I grabbed the hairy crab again, but every time I released the aura, there would be a cry downstream after a while, and listening to its different timbres, it was obvious that there was more than one such animal.
This aroused Li Chen's interest, after all, listening to the sound and all kinds of traces showed that these animals lived in this turbulent stream!
Looking at a few big hairy crabs and four seven-star fish on the shore, which was enough for today's lunch, I went ashore, skewered the fish and hairy crabs with branches, and walked towards the sound I had just heard.
However, after Li Chen searched for it, he didn't see a single living thing, and he didn't know if the water in the stream was too turbulent and there were too many stones, which caused them to hide and not be easy to find!
Thinking that the aura might be able to attract them, Li Chen simply put the fish and crab aside, and went down to the calf-deep stream to release the aura, listening intently to the sounds around him.
It was really this sound that made Li Chen extremely curious, and he was really unwilling not to figure it out, although there are many animals with this kind of sound, but it is not common.
The appearance of these animals with such strange sounds in his 'territory', if you don't figure it out, you really feel panicked!
Ten seconds later...
"Wow~"
Less than a dozen meters in front of him, the strange sound sounded again.
Li Chen released his aura as he approached the position of the voice.
However, when he had only taken a few steps, the thing stopped after screaming twice, and no matter how Li Chen released his aura, he didn't make another sound.
Hey, pretty wary!
Li Chen also guessed that the sound and vibration he made from moving in the water startled the thing.
Li Chen didn't release his aura anymore, and walked quickly to the place where the sound came from just now, and he didn't care that his trouser legs were soaked by the splashing stream.
Now that he had locked on a general location, he was afraid that the thing would escape, and it would be difficult to find it later!
Thinking of this, he turned to carefully observe the water inch by inch, and even forgot about his hungry stomach for a while.
After careful observation, he originally felt that there were many more creatures in the deserted stream than he had imagined.
"This camouflage is too strong!" Li Chen could only sigh.
After walking less than a meter, Li Chen found all kinds of small crabs, stone stick fish, stone sticky fish... Occasionally, a small fish or two struggled to swim upstream.
At this time, Li Chen noticed a stone that was different.
Originally, Li Chen had been treated as a stone when he glanced at it, but his brain suddenly reacted to how its strange appearance didn't look like a stone!
Looking at this stone from the new, no wonder it felt weird, I saw that its whole body was tan, with irregular dark brown markings on it, more than 80 cm long, showing a thin streamlined shape after the previous paragraph, if it wasn't for its shape being too special, Li Chen really missed it!
Li Chen walked over cautiously and slowly, but he didn't expect the stone to also take a small step back, which directly proved that this was a living creature and not a stone.
Seeing it move, Li Chen stopped tempting, and took two steps to get close to it, and the thing also moved backwards in fright, but obviously not very fast.
After a careful observation, Li Chen immediately remembered a species - giant salamander, which is commonly known as baby fish!
After a second comparison, Li Chen completely confirmed that this was a baby fish.
At this moment, Li Chen was excited, he had heard the old people in the village talk about the appearance of baby fish here! Of course, the old people did not know that they were called baby fish, but called them reptile lizard fish.
It is said that there were many lizardfish crawlers in the Tianluo River at that time, and some even climbed to the shore often.
However, because meat was rare at that time, and the meat of the baby fish was not only delicious, but also plentiful! So the old and young in the village went crazy to hunt and kill, and with the hunting and killing of the villagers, these fish gradually disappeared, until Li Chen's generation, there was not even a shadow at all.
When talking about these, the old people were full of sighs, but Li Chen was still young at the time, and he didn't know what the baby fish was.
It wasn't until he went to middle school in the town that Li Chen knew that the creature was called a baby fish, and it was a protected animal.
But... Li Chen, who was not sensible at that time, just wrote it down, protecting animals? What does that matter to him, he has no concept at all. And when I grew up, I forgot about it, and even if I remembered it, it was just a joke.
"I didn't expect that there were really baby fish in this place, and I thought that the old people in the village were making up stories to coax us. ”
Li Chen looked at this obviously newly adult baby fish, and came up with a bold idea: "I heard the old man say that the meat of this baby fish is very tender, do you want to give it to ......?"
As soon as this idea came out, Li Chen was extinguished, and he couldn't pass his morality.
Really... The morality of the younger generation is firmly bound to it.
After Li Chen walked around it for a while, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and brought more than a dozen photos of the frightened baby fish that kept moving, from different angles and distances, and also recorded a video.
After that, he was satisfied to let go of the frightened baby fish and walked towards the house with his things in his hand.
………………
When he returned to the medicine field, he saw that Father Li was still digging a pit hard, Li Chen was a little helpless, "Dad, aren't you tired, I haven't seen you stop digging for a long time." ”
Father Li, who was digging in the dirt, saw Li Chen coming back with a string of fish on his shoulder, and rolled his eyes angrily, "Why did you go for so long, you have to wait for the flowers to thank you!"
"Dad, where did you learn such a line..."Li Chen couldn't cry or laugh.
"Your dad is idle and you Uncle Cai, can't they fight the landlord with their mobile phones?"
When Li Chen heard this, he was a little stunned, the people in the village were so receptive, and they had only been using smart phones for more than a year! You must know that before he came back, most of the old people used smart phones, and some of them also used smart phones, but they only knew how to make phone calls!
"Yo ho, there are so many big hairy crabs! It's rare to see such a big one in the village, and I have a good mouth at noon today!"
Seeing that Li Chen was still stunned, Father Li's voice was a little louder: "What are you still doing in a daze?
