Chapter 268: Scarecrow

Chu Jiaqiang did not continue to participate in the afternoon game, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid of this demon, although everyone knew that it was an earthworm, but they still had some psychological shadows.

In the end, it is said that an elderly person won two first places in this competition, not only in terms of quantity, but also in weight. The prizes are all carefully crafted items by the villagers of Chujiazhai, as well as the specialties of Chujiazhai. The award was presented by the old village chief and the scientists of the research institute, which made those fishing enthusiasts feel a great honor, although there was no prize money, but they were still very happy.

In order to leave the two giant carp in the reservoir, Chu Jiaqiang deliberately went to the reservoir at night to release spiritual water. The money turtle fought with the giant carp again, and Chu Jiaqiang had to be a peacemaker again, warning them to get along in harmony. The most unpleasant thing is the earth overlord sword bone fish, Chapter 268 The scarecrow was still the second master yesterday, and now the giant carp is back, and his status has declined again, and he has become the third.

After the giant carp settled in the reservoir, there were more people who came to Chujiazhai. Nowadays, houses are being built in the surrounding villages to welcome the increasing number of tourists. And the town is also preparing to build inns, hotels, and so on.

The people of Chujiazhai are not ready to expand the house, there are many reasons for this, Chu Jiaqiang and others have done a lot of work.

First of all, as the tourist center of the town, Chujiazhai eats meat and has to leave some soup for others, which is conducive to consolidating its position as the center. If you take all the benefits yourself, what will others think? When the time comes, some will definitely make braids, and although they are not afraid, there will be a lot of trouble.

Secondly, they don't have much money to build a house. Although everyone has made a lot of money during this time. But for the big projects of building houses, it seems to be a little insufficient. Moreover. In fact, many villagers did not have the courage to vomit all the money.

At last. Chu Jiaqiang explained to everyone that there will definitely be more and more tourists in the future, and the place of Chujiazhai is too small to completely swallow so many people. As the number of tourists increases, the benefits will increase, but so will the environmental pressure on them. In order to alleviate the environmental pressure caused by the scarecrow in Chapter 268 of the tourist volume. They will have to divide the negative effects of tourists' lives elsewhere.

The number of small wooden boats on the other side of the reservoir has increased to twelve, but it is still far from enough. Both children and adults love to paddle. Because the two giant carp seem to like to play with people. Often chasing small wooden boats. Some bold people even wanted to reach down and touch the giant carp, but they couldn't get it. The two giant carp can only be touched by Chu Jiaqiang alone, and no one else can touch them.

And these days, all the rice in the village has been harvested. Now everyone is turning over the rice stalks, drying them as soon as possible, and then tying them up in groups and pushing them up. These rice stalks are very useful, as dry food for cattle in winter, as well as a layer of protection from the cold when planting vegetables in winter, etc.

And some tourists go to the fields to make scarecrows, but the scarecrows they make are really unsightly. Scarecrow farmers also liked it. It's like a free worker, which can give everyone a certain amount of help.

A scarecrow is a device used to prevent birds, such as crows, from disturbing crops. Crows not only feed on the first crops, but also gather at night, starting in groups of about six and then gathering in noisy groups of 20 to 30 birds, and they habitually fly back to the same place every night, causing a great problem for the dwellings. Take straw for it. Hence the name "Scarecrow".

When I was a child, Chu Jiaqiang and others heard Mr. Liu tell a story about a scarecrow.

It is rumored that during the Three Kingdoms period, Kong Ming borrowed arrows from the grass boat. Many people will wonder how it was called a grass boat when it was a wooden boat at that time. In fact, this has something to do with the scarecrow above, he asked people to make a lot of straw people, put on military uniforms, and stand and wear all around.

The next morning, a fisherman went fishing in the river. It just so happened that the fishing came here, the hook rope shook, the brass bell sounded, and the signal that there was a fish on the hook, the fisherman hurriedly closed the hook, felt heavy at hand, and thought: it must be a big fish, the fisherman was overjoyed and prepared to catch a big fish, the buoy gradually closed, the fog has dissipated, and the fisherman fixed his eyes. Don't want to hang a floating dead man on the buoy bell.

The fisherman felt taboo, and his joy vanished, and he took it to the side of the boat, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was not a dead man, but a very refined straw man, wearing a leather helmet and leather armor, as if it were real, and it was really endearing. The fisherman scratched the straw man to the cabin and found that the straw man still had twenty wolf tooth arrows nailed to his body.

This fisherman is a farmer in Jingzhou, he fishes in winter, is busy farming, and when the farming season comes, he returns home and brings his favorite straw man to his home, and the whole family is amazed and likes it.

From the first day of the straw man to the fisherman's house, a strange thing happened. It turned out that the fisherman had a lot of mice in his house, and he was usually not afraid of cats, but during the day, there were rats running away, which made him restless. But this night, the rat was gone, and the whole family had a quiet night, and the people of Jiahao were surprised and sighed, and they all guessed that it must be the power of this straw man.

When it came to the planting season of the rain in Qingming Valley, the grain seeds in the field were going to be eaten, and the sparrows were coming to peck, and the fisherman felt that he couldn't do it, so he suddenly thought of the straw man, and the fisherman moved the straw man to the breeding ground. Very spiritual! As soon as the straw man stood in the field, the voles did not come, the birds flew away, and the seedlings grew neatly and strongly.

This news is blowing all over the countryside like a spring breeze, and farmers are following the grass man in the field, and then it developed into the harvest season, in order to prevent rats and birds, it is also tied with a straw man, this method really has a good effect, so it has been spread to this day.

The scarecrows they made had no intention of deterring at all, and some of the sparrows even stopped on the shoulders of the "scarecrows" and looked around, making them disgraced and embarrassed.

Chu Jiaqiang couldn't look at it, so he made one himself. This thing is often made by farmers, it is very simple, and it is simply handy for Chu Jiaqiang.

First, Chu Jiaqiang nailed a cross with two wooden sticks. This is the skeleton of the scarecrow, and it is also the foundation. The next step is to tie the skeleton with straw to get the rough shape out. The last thing is to get a rag dress and dress the scarecrow with a hat. Soon, a vivid scarecrow appeared, which made many people admire.

"Old Village, why does your scarecrow look like a broken arm, does it work?" One tourist asked. He saw that the scarecrow's "arms" were too short, and when he put on his clothes, some of the sleeves of his sleeves drooped and fluttered in the wind, as if he had broken his arms.

"Huh! This is deliberately made like this. The sleeves flutter in the wind to deter the birds that destroy the crops. Otherwise, the scarecrow will soon be recognized by the bird. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

"Seems to be the truth." The others nodded.

"In order to deter the birds even more, some people also hang small bells on the scarecrows, and when the wind blows, the bells will ring." A tourist explained. (To be continued)RQ!!
