"These watermelons are so big that if they are cut in half and eaten with a spoon like those black beauties, that's the most enjoyable way to eat." Chu Jiaqiang said.

When I used to be in college, they often had thousands of dormitories, and when they bought two and came back, they were cut in half. Then hold half of it, take out the spoon for eating, and eat watermelon while watching a movie, that's enjoyment.

The other young people nodded in agreement. The old family said that he shook his head helplessly, and now he is young and pursues enjoyment of everything, which is not good.

At this time, Xiao Hanhu ran back, reached Chu Jiaqiang's feet, and then bit Chu Jiaqiang's trouser legs and dragged Chu Jiaqiang to the backyard.

"Hey, what does this little guy want? Don't bully the bears anymore? Zhou Furong said.

Others are curious, and they also follow to see the competition. Xiao Hanhu led the way in front and led everyone to the watermelon field. Everyone found that almost all the small animals in the house were present, and they seemed to be watching something. There is a flock of big white geese guarding the outermost part, and inside are small tigers, red pandas, small squirrels and so on. The golden monkey was holding a stick, and he didn't know what a thousand things were.

"How did these little guys get together? Are they all so free? Li Quan looked at this posture and immediately smiled. He thought to himself: It seems that this is lively, not only in the class, but also in other animals.

The bear was holding a piece of watermelon and nibbling on it with juice, but his eyes were on the ground. On the shoulder of the bear, standing on the wren, when he saw the watermelon seeds on the bear's watermelon, he pecked away.

Seeing Chu Jiaqiang coming, those big white geese immediately screamed "goose goose goose", as if they were reporting to the master.

Everyone looked over and found that there were two hedgehogs on the ground, which were shrinking into a ball at this time, and the small animals on the side were helpless when they saw the guys covered in thorns. The little tiger's eyes are staring at the hedgehog, and that feeling is the taste of "the tiger eats the hedgehog and has no way to eat".

"I said! What happened to the watermelon yesterday, it turned out that these two melon thieves gnawed it. Chen Wu suddenly realized. Yesterday, everyone thought it was a mouse! That doesn't make any sense! It's almost a no-go zone for rats, and they have lived there for so long that they haven't found any trace of rats.

The hedgehog is covered with spines on the dorsal and lateral sides of the body, and the head, tail, and ventral surface are hairy; The mouth is pointed and long, and the tail is short; Sharp teeth and sharp teeth, suitable for insectivory; When frightened, the spines on the whole body stand up and roll into a ball of thorns. Ordinary hedgehogs inhabit mountain forests, grasslands, farmlands, shrubs, etc., and come out at night during the day, feeding on various small animals, eating plants at the same time, and sometimes harming melons and fruits.

"There will be hedgehogs in the south too? Isn't it said that hedgehogs are hibernating animals? Chen Xiang was very surprised that he actually saw a hedgehog here.

"Huh! There are all over the place, but there are only some places where they are concentrated. Comparatively speaking, the south is much less than the north. However, it does not mean that there is no one in the south, and the hedgehogs in the south are also a little different from those in the north, which is caused by regional and other environmental factors. Professor Wen explained to everyone.

"There are a lot of them! I've seen a lot in the north, nothing unusual, and in the suburbs, I can always see them. Ye Jisheng said.

This guy also arrived today, he was busy some time ago, and he didn't have contact with Chu Jiaqiang, Zhou Furong and others for almost two months.

"Huh! That being said, but you may not know that the hedgehog is also a national second-class protected animal, a world-class endangered animal. Xu Hao said to everyone.

"Wouldn't it? Hedgehogs can also make the list? Or a world-class endangered animal? "I didn't believe it right away.

Professor Wen nodded: "It is still a modern product of 'insecticide', hedgehogs can generally resist many kinds of poisons, but they cannot resist pesticides, sometimes they are poisoned to death by accidentally eating insects killed by pesticides, and sometimes they are run over to death by high-speed cars because of their slow movements." In recent years, a large number of hedgehogs have died, which has attracted the attention of all parties. ”

When it finds certain smelly plants in the environment, it will chew it and spit it on its own thorns, so that it can maintain the smell of the local environment to prevent it from being detected by enemies, and also make its thorns may be contaminated with certain poisons to resist the invasion of enemies.

"Why did this little guy run out in vain? No wonder they were caught. A tourist said.

He is from the capital, no stranger to hedgehogs, every summer and autumn evening, whether it is a small courtyard of a bungalow, a green space of buildings, a park path, or even in a stairwell, a pile of fallen leaves, you can see these little thorn balls busy foraging everywhere. These little guys are generally active at night, and Bai Yao usually sleeps lazy.

It's also interesting to talk about hedgehogs sleeping. Like the class, they also snore when they sleep, which is very funny. Because the hedgehog has a docile personality, it will not bite at will, and its actions are simple and cute, which is deeply loved by children and children, and has gradually become a family pet that they love.

Seeing that it was a hedgehog, although this little thing had not been seen for some years, Chu Jiaqiang soon lost interest. This may be related to the education of the elders in the countryside, hoping that the children will not touch the hedgehog, because the hedgehog is the legendary eight earth fairies.

The so-called eight earth immortals are snakes, wolves, badgers, lynxes, weasels, hedgehogs, weasels, and foxes.

Of course, there are also five immortals: fox fairy (fox), yellow fairy (weasel), white fairy (hedgehog), willow fairy (snake), gray fairy (mouse), folk commonly known as "fox yellow white willow gray" or "gray yellow fox white willow" for the five immortals.

Maybe it's hard to understand a lot, these five immortals are too, right? None of them seem to be completely good at stubble, and the hedgehog is a little better, although sometimes stealing melons and fruits, destroying crops, but also often helping to catch pests. What kind of foxes and weasels always come to steal chickens to eat, snakes will also get hurt, not to mention mice, which can be described as hateful.

However, there are places where they are worshipped as gods, and many families in the folk worship the five families. They offer statues of all gods next to the Buddha Hall and Ancestral Hall at home, and the statues of all gods include nine gods, namely the God of Fortune, Fu, Lu, Shou and the Five Families, arranged in three rows.

The image of the five families is into the image, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, except for the white fairy who is attached to the female image of the white old lady, the remaining four are male portraits, wearing official uniforms, with warm hats, the color is gray blue or stone blue, etc.

In the worship of the five families, the folk are more in awe of the fox fairy, the yellow fairy and the white fairy, and there are many legends about their white spoon miracles, and they are attached to the third master of Hu, the second master of Huang, and the old lady Bai.

The folk worship of animals is mainly reflected in the worship of the "Five Greats", which is a kind of worship of demons and fairies, which also originates from the idea of animism. The "Five Families" here are also the "Five Great Immortals".

It is generally believed that the five families are long-term associated with the class, belonging to the spirits of both demons and immortals, if they are violated and damaged, they can retaliate against the class with witchcraft, so that the class is punished by different degrees of disasters; If you worship them, you will be blessed.

Of course, after the founding of New China, most of this belief has died out, so it is rare now.
