Li Du ran to the ground to get a shovel, and he had to use a round-headed shovel for this work, and it was inconvenient for a square-headed shovel. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Carrying a shovel, he went to the location of the rat hole that Meow had found.

Godzilla had just finished plowing when the rat hole was blocked by dirt, and Li Du swept it with his hand, and after sweeping off a layer of dirt, he found a hole the size of a child's fist.

Hans came over with him in a cotton coat and asked with great interest, "What are you going to do?" ”

After doing farm work for a while, he will not be cold anymore and will regain his jumping temperament.

Li Du rubbed his hands and said, "You wait and see, I'll get you something to eat." ”

As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Godzilla, who was in full swing, stopped, pressed the wooden frame with both hands and plunged the coulter deep into the earth, and asked, "Food?" ”

"Yes."

In this way, he and Da Ao stopped working, and gathered around Li Du to watch the excitement.

Seeing the four of them gathered together, Father Li, who was smoking on the ground, asked, "What are you doing?" What's wrong? ”

Li Du turned around and said, "Find a mouse hole, I will dig it, there is food in it." ”

Father Li shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, this side is too close to the county seat, there is a garbage dump around, and the rats are hungry to go to the garbage dump to find food, and they will not store food." ”

"It's just that there's food in it, so what's the use of you digging it? Is there still a shortage of food for anyone now? Li Du, an uncle from his own family, said with a smile.

"That's it, Xiao Du, what about you still taking foreigners with you, taking them to dig rat holes and dig out food? Will this make them think that China is still poor and backward? ”

Li Du said: "I'm just for fun, I haven't dug out the rat nest since I was in high school, and this rat nest must have food." ”

One of the people who watched the excitement nodded and said: "Well, crops have been grown in the farmland here, and if the rats are willing to store food, it is estimated that there will be peanuts, buds, peas, sweet potatoes and potatoes in it." ”

Li Du estimated that there would be food in this mouse hole, and the mouse caught by Meow was very fat, and its fur was not dirty but shiny, indicating that it had enough food and a clean foraging place.

If you speculate, the smooth fur of the rat proves that it does not live in a garbage heap, and that it is fat, indicating that it has plenty of food and little exercise.

To sum up, this mouse hides a lot of food in the hole, and it stays in the hole every day, so that it will be fat and clean.

Li Du used an iron shovel to dig a rat hole, and the rat hole winded down, and he dug down more than a meter diagonally and did not dig the burrow, but found two forks in the road.

Hans was stunned for a moment and said, "What's going on?" ”

Li Du said: "There is a word in our culture called the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and the rat is like this, look at me, watch me find its nest." ”

This work was done for fun, so he didn't use the little flying insect to explore which of the two holes was the rat granary.

Digging down a hole and digging half a meter away, the shovel dug up some peanut skins and corn cob fragments.

Seeing this, Li Du's spirits perked up, well, there is a play, this is about to dig its nest.

Sure enough, digging further down was not a passage but a cave, and at this time he carefully dug out the earth with his hands, enlarged the cave, and then lifted the roof of the cave, and the contents appeared in front of them.

The cave is quite large, covering an area of one square meter, and the overall shape is irregular, with several small holes extending from the inside.

There was grain in each of the small holes, the most of which was peanuts, then corn, and a few sweet potatoes and potatoes, some of which had sprouted and the potatoes were well preserved.

In addition to this food, there are several bird eggs in this cave.

Li Du counted, there were a total of five bird eggs, the eggshells were green, the appearance was a little uneven, shining with a bright luster, and it was very smooth to the touch.

The five eggs are smaller than the eggs, and much larger than the sparrow and quail eggs.

The first time he saw this kind of bird's egg, he picked one up and asked his father, "Dad, what kind of egg is this?" ”

Father Li and the others, who were chatting hotly, looked up, and someone's eyes lit up, and said, "Yo, wild eggs?" This is a serious wild egg. ”

In many places, wild eggs are another name for mountain eggs, and in Li Du's hometown, wild eggs are the eggs laid by pheasants, and there were large wetlands around it before, and many pheasants have survived.

Later, the weather was dry, the water volume of the wetland decreased, and people in the seventies and eighties were keen to enclose the lake to create fields, and finally the wetland was destroyed.

By the time Li Du was born, the surrounding wetlands were almost non-existent, leaving only a few small lakes and large ponds, and wild birds and pheasants could not be seen caught and run.

Now that the state has begun to attach importance to environmental protection, some places in his hometown have begun to return farmland to forests and lakes, and wild birds are gradually flying in.

Li Du had never eaten wild eggs, and Father Li said, "This thing is fragrant, where did you find it?" ”

"In the rat hole," he said, "is this a wild egg?" Can it still hatch? If you can hatch, you won't eat it, go home and get a hen to hatch them. ”

Father Li shook his head: "No, the weather is too cold, the rats dragged these wild eggs into the hole, there are no hens to hatch, and the chicks inside are already finished." ”

There is no way but to eat it, otherwise it will be too wasteful.

Li Du led the three of them to dig out all the food in the mouse hole, this mouse is very industrious, and stole a lot of food reserves in the hole.

There was a bag in the electric tricycle, and Li Du loaded it, and it turned out to be half of the bag.

Carrying the grain to the other side of the field, he found some dry wood and hay, and asked Da Ao to build a simple earthen stove out of clay and bricks, and said, "Come, let's roast peanuts and roast sweet potatoes to eat." ”

Hans was stunned for a moment and said, "Can you eat it?" Isn't this dug out of a rat's nest? ”

Li Du said: "Yes, why can't you eat it?" There is a saying in our hometown that it is called saying a good year in a rat hole, and listening to the sound of frogs is a pleasure. ”

"Could there be something like the plague virus?" Hans asked worriedly.

Li Du said: "Maybe there will be." ”

Hans shook his head: "That can't be eaten, I definitely won't eat it." ”

Li Du grinned and said, "It's just right if you don't eat, one less mouth, we can eat more." ”

Da Ao lit a fire, and Li Du pasted the surface of the sweet potato with water and mud next to him, and then threw it into the fire with potatoes and peanuts.

Soon, as the flames burned, the peanut scorched.

Seeing this, Li Du pulled peanuts out with a stick and beckoned: "This is ready to eat, roasted peanuts are delicious." ”

Godzilla didn't care if it was good or not, he only cared if it could be eaten, and the peanuts he pulled out were still hot, so he opened them and stuffed them into his mouth.

After chewing twice, he nodded and said, "Well, it's delicious." ”

Da Ao also picked up the peanuts and peeled them to eat, and after eating one, he said, "It's really delicious." ”

Hans shook his head in disgust and didn't eat it, Li Du didn't care about him, he set up the flowers and ate happily, Meow smelled the fragrance and came up, Li Dusai gave it one, and it ate happily.
