Chapter 603: Poking the Honeycomb
"Xiaoyanagi, I heard that you caught a soft-shelled turtle, is it true?" Near noon, Professor Li of Shancheng University asked with a smile when he saw Liu Yi.
Liu Yi happily replied: "Well, it's good luck, with the help of Uncle Liu, I finally caught it!" ”
"Where, let me see!"
"Soft-shelled turtle, how big is the soft-shelled turtle ......?"
"Are there any soft-shelled turtles in this mountain?"
“……”
The others who followed back began to talk about it, and Liu Yi didn't say anything and took them to the camp where they were stationed today.
The soft-shelled turtle was too big, and Liu Yi didn't have anything to hold it, and in the end, Uncle Liu gave him an idea, that is, to use a rope to lassoscope the hind legs of the soft-shelled turtle, so that it couldn't run no matter how it ran.
When everyone went to watch the soft-shelled turtle, the soft-shelled turtle did not flinch, the fierce light in his eyes was revealed, and his head was raised high and he glanced around, so fierce!
"Damn, this soft-shelled turtle is different from artificially raised, you look at that fierce appearance, if I definitely can't catch it!"
"Hehe, I'm afraid this soft-shelled turtle has lived for more than ten years since it was so big, right?"
"I estimate that there are about 7 catties, and such a big wild soft-shelled turtle is indeed rare!"
"This is soft-shelled turtle stew, it must taste very delicious!" At this time, a voice of discussion reached everyone's ears, and everyone was stunned.
A young inspection assistant actually thought about how to eat it, this thing is not cheap, and it is also a great supplement for those who eat it, Liu Yi will not take it out casually for everyone to eat like this.
Sure enough, Liu Yi said clearly: "I'm sorry." I didn't plan to take out this soft-shelled turtle for everyone to enjoy, and someone in our family will need such a big tonic right away! ”
Uncle Liu and Uncle Zhang immediately understood when they heard Liu Yi's words, looked at some regretful eyes and explained to Liu Yi: "Hehe, the daughter-in-law of the Xiaoliu family has been pregnant for several months, and when his daughter-in-law is confined, this soft-shelled turtle is indeed a rare tonic." ”
"Oh, what it is, it should be!" The older experts looked at Liu Yi's stiff expression just now and thought that he thought that the soft-shelled turtle was expensive and would not share it with everyone, but now everyone knew it clearly.
"Maybe there are soft-shelled turtles in the creek, aren't we investigating the animals and plants next to the creek today, maybe we will have good luck finding it!" An assistant said unwillingly.
Liu Yi thought. Catching a soft-shelled turtle is not a simple matter. It took a lot of effort to catch this soft-shelled turtle, and it took Uncle Liu more than half an hour to get it, listening to what the assistant said, is it so easy?
But he still said politely: "I'm really sorry." I'll be selfish for a while. After the inspection, I invite everyone to have a good meal at the farmhouse to compensate! ”
……
The lunch was as good as last night. Haggis soup of wild sheep, with a dish of stewed rabbit meat, and boiled crucian carp. In addition to a dish of wild vegetables, these are all raw things, and everyone who walks in the mountains and does manual labor eats very happily.
"It would be nice to live like this every day." After the meal, an assistant rubbed his round stomach and said comfortably.
"But no, I didn't say anything about the environment in this mountain, and the food in it is also very rich, but I didn't expect that the rabbit I ate at noon was actually captured by Brother Liu's black dog!" Another assistant said enviously.
"Not really, in the end, Uncle Liu went out to catch the rabbit, right?"
"Hehe, we don't have to think about what to eat in the future, look at yesterday's wild sheep, today's hares and wild fish, these things are all authentic game, there is Brother Liu in me I don't doubt it at all!"
"I think so too!"
The location of today's camp has been decided, and many people have entered the lunch break after lunch, and the whispered words of these two assistants did not affect the rest of the others, but they were all heard by Liu Yi, who was on the tip of his ear.
There are a lot of things in the mountains. But you also have to have rich hunting experience and excellent luck, this time Uncle Liu came out Liu Yi was half relieved, and Liu Yi would not worry about the source of food if the god pet in the family came forward.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, many people came out of the tent one after another, and everyone looked well, and the inspection was about to begin.
"Xiaoliu, I discussed with Lao Wang, Lao Zhang and Lao Bai, if we investigate at this speed, even if we can't complete the established investigation task in 10 days, do we suggest that the team be divided into two groups to conduct research in different areas at the same time?"
When Liu Yi and Uncle Liu were about to go out hunting, Professor Li found him.
Liu Yi thought about it, what Professor Li said was not unreasonable, but there were also many problems, so he said: "It's nothing to divide into two groups, but if you do this, your safety outside will not be guaranteed!" ”
"No, I think you have a fork, the two groups of people are not completely separated, or a designated large-scale work, that is, to expand the area, in the afternoon there are still some people left by the creek to investigate, I am going to go to Jianshan to have a look!" Professor Li explained.
"Well, that's fine, Uncle Liu and I will also go hunting there, or let's go together, so we can take care of it!" Liu Yi blurted out as soon as he thought about it.
Professor Li was also very happy to get a satisfactory answer, although they were the main members of the investigation this time, but Liu Yi still had the final say in the personnel arrangement and division of labor, after all, Liu Yi, as the person in charge of the investigation, had the right to decide that others did not have.
Jianshan is a particularly steep mountain in the Zhongliang Mountains, and it can be regarded as the tallest mountain in the surrounding area, one side is basically 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, and the mountain is full of large areas of rocks embedded in the rocks, and only sparse miscellaneous trees grow in the stone cracks of those rock walls.
Halfway up the mountain, Uncle Liu pointed to the other side of the mountain wall and said: "Don't look at the lack of vegetation growing on these rock walls, there are a lot of medicinal herbs in them, if Lao Zhang goes up the mountain today, he will definitely tell you the truth!" ”
"Then Uncle Liu, what kind of prey grows in such an environment with all the effort to climb this mountain?" Liu Yi didn't know anything about the situation in the mountains, and at most he went into the mountain bag where he camped yesterday.
Uncle Liu said casually: "Don't look at this mountain is steep, but there are many animals and plants in the mountain, see how I can make delicious game!" With that, he walked towards a wood.
Liu Yi and the others were a little unhappy that Uncle Liu didn't answer directly, but in the end, they watched Uncle Liu's actions slowly follow, intending to see what he did.
But when people approached him, Uncle Liu shouted, "Don't come here, there will be trouble later!" ”
Then I saw Uncle Liu walking towards a stout tree, and when everyone thought that Uncle Liu was about to climb the tree, he crossed the tree and continued to lean towards the mountain wall behind the uncle.
Although there is a big tree to shelter, but the sharp-eyed Liu Yi still found that the situation behind the big tree is different from the surroundings, that is, there are a lot of bees flying, no, this is not a bee, this is a local bee called the earth bee.
The size of the bee is not as big as the bee, the efficiency of collecting honey is not as efficient as the bee, and the aggression is not very strong, the original mountain village can often be seen, but many of the current bees are imported from abroad, whether it is a new bee or a wasp for these bees are natural enemies, as long as they see the existence of the bee, they will kill these weak guys.
So only in these remote mountains can you find the figure of the bee, Liu Yi immediately understood what Uncle Liu was going to do, he was going to poke the honeycomb, there were delicious bee pupae and pure honey to eat at night.
Sure enough, Uncle Liu walked to the mountain wall and observed the hole where the bees came in and out, because he understood the habits of the bees, and he was not worried that those bees would attack people.
"Uncle Liu is really bold, isn't he afraid of these bees?" A young expedition assistant has not yet made the difference between these native bees and honey bees.
"See clearly, these bees are much smaller than ordinary bees, and Uncle Liu didn't attack him in the past, what's the inside story here?"
In the end, Professor Li revealed the mystery: "Don't talk about it, this is an earth bee, and it is not very aggressive." ”
Turning his gaze to Uncle Liu, he only saw that after Uncle Liu determined the entrance and exit of the earth bees, he slowly moved the stones around the cave with his bare arms, and those earth bees also knew that there was an invasion of foreign enemies, and more earth bees also flew out, but basically they were also flying randomly at the entrance of the cave.
Uncle Liu's body also has a lot of earth bees attached to his clothes, and it doesn't take long to occupy a dense layer, even if he knows that Uncle Liu is not in great danger, it still makes everyone very worried.
But Uncle Liu didn't care about this, even if the earth bee landed on his head and face after affecting his movements, he used his other hand to get the earth bee off his face, and then continued to move without a little fear.
Slowly, Uncle Liu reached into the nest of the earth bee with one hand, groped left and right, and slowly retracted it, and then Liu Yi and the others saw a plate-sized honeycomb being taken out.
The honeycomb was divided into several layers, and Uncle Liu looked for it on it, then pulled off a piece of the honeycomb and put it back again, and then blocked the hole again despite the flying bees.
"What does Uncle Liu mean by putting back a piece of honeycomb?" An assistant asked.
Professor Li said without thinking about it: "There must be a queen bee in that honeycomb, I see that he has taken the honeycomb here more than once, and the queen bee will naturally build a complete honeycomb when she returns to the nest, and you can collect it again after a while, Lao Liu is really a good idea!" ”
While Professor Li was talking, Uncle Liu slowly walked over, but the earth bees on his body were slowly decreasing, and he must have run back to the nest to find the queen bee. (To be continued......)
