Chapter 724: Catching Birds
There were a lot of people participating in the winter swimming this time, many of them were women, which really made Chu Jiaqiang secretly admire. However, there were a lot of people who caught a cold the next day, and Chu Jiaqiang had to prescribe medicine to them collectively, and many of them were fine that day.
"Who said that Chinese medicine is slow to work? This cold can't be cured in a day even after an injection in the hospital, right? "Some tourists are starting to really face up to their country's quintessential Chinese medicine. It seems that it is not that Chinese medicine is not good, but that there are too many quacks outside, and many Chinese medicine practitioners may be half-witted, and they can't kill people, but they can't save a few.
"Huh! Then it depends on what kind of illness it is. There are no absolutes in everything, and our Chinese medicine has existed for thousands of years, and naturally has its own uniqueness, which cannot be compared with Western medicine. Yang Lao stroked his beard and smiled. Seeing that everyone has changed their view of Chinese medicine, they are also happy as leaders of Chinese medicine, which is an important step in the revival of Chinese medicine.
Perhaps because of the cold weather, the insects were either killed by the cold or hidden, and in the past two days, there have been more birds eaten by Chujiazhai. Not to mention the situation behind Chu Jiaqiang's house, when Mrs. Wu and the others were feeding the chickens and ducks in the morning, a group of birds flew to grab food.
In the village, many tourists have also joined the ranks of feeding birds, bought some coarse grains with the villagers, and fed them on the side of the sun-grained flat, which is naturally indispensable to take pictures. Children are the happiest, their natural immaculate character is very compatible with nature, birds do not reject them, and their vigilance is not very strong.
"Huh! What kind of bird is this? Emerald green, it's beautiful! A female tourist screamed, instantly scaring the bird away.
The village children took one look and said, "That's called a kingfisher." I like to eat small fish the most. ”
They are often seen near the river, and they are very attentive when hunting, staring at the surface of the water motionlessly. As long as there is the slightest movement on the surface of the water, you can shoot down like an arrow, and you can take the fish away in an instant.
"It's pretty good! And it flew away. That's when another visitor found out it was called a kingfisher. I used to hear this term when I was studying, but I had never seen the real thing.
"They're stupid when they're sleeping." At this time, a village child immediately retorted.
He explained that it is also easy to catch this bird. The kingfishers in the countryside love to sleep on the ridges when you see them. You can walk over generously, carry it and go, and you may not wake up when you get home.
When the others heard this, their eyes widened: "Isn't it? ”
"Lie to you as a ghost!" When the kid saw that everyone didn't believe it, he immediately said urgently.
"Huh! You little! Li Quan patted the little guy. The little fellow was not satisfied, and he pulled his hand away. The others burst into laughter, and when they saw the kingfisher fly back again, they threw the last fish over.
Before the little fish hit the ground, the kingfisher caught it in its grip, turned around and flew away.
"Awesome! But why doesn't it catch fish in the river? There is a reason why other insects-eating birds fly around and eat. The tourist washed his hands with water and said.
An old man suddenly laughed and said, "It's cold!" The surface temperature is low, and fish tend to move on the bottom of the river. Kingfishers don't have penguins, they can run to the bottom of the water to catch fish. ”
A local dog in the village passed by, barking at the birds on the valley lawn. A flock of birds immediately scattered in a hurry. You must know that dogs can also catch small birds.
"Mom! The big yellow dog is so hateful! A little girl complained to her mother. Their family came from the provincial capital, and she used to pestering her parents for a long time.
Li Quan shouted two words of intimidation to the earth dog, who knew that the dog would not buy his account, and turned his head and barked at him. This made Li Quan quite embarrassed. Usually, those earth dogs are not very bold, and they will leave after scolding.
However. A five-year-old girl in the village walked over with a cute little face, pulled the yellow dog's ears, and scolded: "If you don't behave, I won't give you food today." ”
The vicious dog, who originally looked fierce, immediately wanted to be so pitiful and pitiful, shrugged his ears, and tasted like begging for mercy. As soon as the little girl let go, she immediately ran away with her tail between her legs.
Seeing the eyes of the others, Li Quan was even more speechless, and secretly said that he didn't have the majesty of the little girl just now? Can't scare the dog?
At this time, a usually naughty child in the village walked over with a bag of small fish he had caught in one hand and a fishing rod in the other hand.
"You caught all this fish? Why isn't there a big one? "Everyone has long been surprised by such fishing rods. Adults and children here fish like this, but the fish still have to compete to catch the bait.
"Nope! I caught this fish with dung, and now there are a lot of small fish hidden under the aquatic weeds. Now I'm going to catch birds, you'll find out in a moment. ”
After the little guy finished speaking, he skewered a small fish on the hook, and then lifted the fishing rod to let the fish hang in the air. The others immediately knew what he meant and let the bird take the bait.
The little bird that likes to eat fish immediately flies up, and when it catches the small fish, it will fly away. But the fish was hooked on the hook, and could not break free, so it flew away with the line, and soon could not move forward.
The little guy hurriedly pulled it over, and this kind of bird that eats small fish is easy to catch. He took the bird, took it down, put it to the bird's beak, and waited for it to eat before the bird flew away.
"This bird is so greedy that it won't let go." This practice is also the first time Li Quan has seen it, I have heard that there is a way to catch monkeys in India: put peaches in a wooden box, leave a hole on the side, the monkey can reach in, but hold something and can't get out, that is, take advantage of the monkey's greed.
The others were also a little incredible, but the old people present were not too surprised, they had seen too much.
"How clever can a man make the same mistake and defy temptation, let alone other animals?" An old man laughed.
The child didn't understand this big truth, and laughed at the stupidity of the bird just now. But the other adults present were slightly pensive and nodded secretly.
"Hey! Little one, let me try. A tourist gave the little boy a ten-dollar piece, took the fishing rod, and learned what he had just done.
Other people were also excited, especially those children, who immediately clamored for their families to fish for birds. Those who are afraid of the cold and do not want to go down the river launch a money offensive.
When Chu Jiaqiang heard the news, he smiled, and he didn't run to join in the fun, these were all things they used to play outdated, so naturally they were not attractive.
"It's not fun, many birds won't be fooled, and the tip of the mouth can instantly cut off the small fish and fly away, and they can't be caught." Chu Jiaqiang said.
Of course, not everyone is like him, Tang Liye and the others sneaked out one by one after hearing this. These boring people will not let go of anything that feels new.
