After eating, Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong came over to play.

Professor Zhao's family has two little guys, so it is naturally much more lively, and the two of them are also full of smiles.

Tongtong became interested in the large blooming henna in the flower pond, and asked Mr. Wang to wrap her fingers with hemp leaves.

These half-human tall henna flowers are not less blooming, and the flowers are all the size of copper coins, attracting many colorful butterflies every day.

Xiao Haoyu pouted his ass and dug a few earthworms on the edge of the flower pond, and then picked up the fishing rod and squatted on the edge of the ditch to fish. The water temperature was relatively low in the morning, and the fish did not like to eat the hook, so his record was far less brilliant than yesterday afternoon, and the few fish he caught were as long as a finger. However, he was still playing with great interest, and regardless of the fishy smell, he tore the crucian carp shell in half and stuffed it to Qingzhuang to eat.

Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian were not idle at this time, and were cleaning up watermelons in the backyard. Now there are basically more than a dozen small melons growing every day, which need to be wrapped in a net pocket one by one. In addition, there is also to mark the ripe watermelon, so that when the customer comes to buy it, you can directly follow the map.

It's just that the seedlings are too dense, and it is difficult to find the newborn melons without looking carefully.

"Come and see, what's going on?" Suddenly, Zhang Qian shouted from afar.

Liu Junhao hurriedly ran over when he heard the sound, but saw that the net rope on the wooden shelf had been bitten in pieces, and the big watermelon wrapped in the net pocket had long been gone.

The melon thief didn't expect that there would be a melon thief in his yard!

Liu Junhao looked around along the melon seedlings. But no trace was found. He had just thought it was a rat doing the trick. But when I think about it, I don't think it's right. Rats don't seem to have the ability to do this. The large flower skin weighs more than ten pounds. Even if it is stolen, it cannot be taken away. At most, it will be solved on the spot.

"What is this stealing ground. Could it be a hedgehog? Zhang Qian asked confusedly. In the late autumn of last year, a large hedgehog came into the backyard. As soon as the spring arrived, the hedgehog disappeared. It's not that I'm running back now.

"Certainly not a hedgehog. This thing can't climb trees. So how can it get down the big watermelon in the highlands. "The hedgehog is stealing watermelons. But this thing doesn't go up trees.

"Cut. You don't know that. The hedgehog will be on the tree ground. Zhang Qian explained proudly. Hedgehogs are particularly intelligent. You can even climb a tree and steal dates. When it climbs the tree, it clings to the jujube branch tightly with its feet. Then shake vigorously for a while. When the dates are almost gone, let go of your limbs and jump down from the tree. Then make a few rolls on the ground. And the dates were all tied on his back. Then it slipped away with the dates on its back. ”

"Are you saying this is a hedgehog?" Liu Junhao was very nostalgic. "It's not like a fairy tale in a book. Anyway, I haven't seen a hedgehog on a tree. ”

He has lived in Liujiagou for more than 20 years. Never seen a hedgehog on a tree. It's the first time I've even heard it.

"You haven't seen it, it's fake, I haven't seen a giant panda yet." Zhang Qian's face was slightly red and she argued, she really saw it from a book.

Some time ago, there was a small short article called "Thorny Friends" on the volume of a unit, which was about the hedgehog stealing dates from the tree, and she was also learning and using it.

"Okay, even if it's okay. Our priority is to find this hedgehog, otherwise it will be a big loss to let it keep messing around in the backyard. Liu Junhao saw that she said what she said, and he really believed it a little.

"Even if you don't understand it, you can't understand it." Zhang Qian couldn't see his sloppy behavior.

This yard is full of grass and melon seedlings, and it is difficult to find a place to hide a hedgehog. The two of them spent half an hour and searched carefully along the courtyard wall for two weeks, but they didn't find any hedgehog nesting, not even a piece of watermelon skin.

"Could it be that the hedgehog stole the watermelon and ran away along the waterway?" Zhang Qian asked again.

"No, the waterway eye is so small, it's difficult to send the watermelon out, this melon must still be somewhere in the yard." Liu Junhao suddenly patted his head, how could he forget Xiaopi, let it come over to find it.

Xiaopi came in and sucked and sniffed around, but ran back and wagged his tail at the two of them, and it seemed that the hedgehog was really no longer in the yard.

Although Liu Junhao was very unwilling, he could only lead Xiaopi out again.

Anyway, the watermelon has already been stolen, and it is useless to be unwilling now.

They returned to the courtyard and talked about it as a surprise, but they didn't expect Professor Zhao to pat his head and shout: "The watermelon in my yard was also eaten by a hedgehog two days ago?" The watermelon was not stolen, but a big hole was dug in the skin of the melon, and the sweet potato was hollowed out. ”

Just after eating at noon, Zheng Jianxue and his family came over to buy watermelons. They asked for four in one go, so naturally they took them back to honor the old man. Liu Junhao asked them to wait in the front yard, while he and Zhang Qian carried the bamboo basket to the backyard to pick melons.

"Dog, it's not endless!" When he saw the net bag marked with red rope, he was immediately angry.

It's also too arrogant, and I just made a mark in the morning. In the blink of an eye, a big hole was torn open in the net pocket, and the watermelon was stolen again.

Look at that melon

There was still juice left on the mark after gnawing it, and it was obvious that the melon thief had just called Xiaopi in and asked him to sniff it in the yard.

In less than two minutes, Pi barked at the waterway. It's just that it's too big to get into.

really escaped from here, Liu Junhao ran up to the acacia tree trunk by the courtyard wall with his hands and feet, and then leaned over, already standing on the wall.

Outside the courtyard wall is a large puddle of water, with more than a dozen acres of land. This place has been barren for a long time, so the soil is quite fertile. The puddles were littered with half-man-deep cattails and sparse reeds, and of course a few old willows as thick as a basin.

A few years ago, some people tried to open up wasteland here, but often in the summer, the puddles turned into oceans, and the crops planted were flooded.

There was no harvest of light seeds, and after tossing a few times, no one had the idea of hitting this puddle again.

Standing on the courtyard wall, it is obvious that starting from the waterway eye, the wild grass has been driven out of a path, leading straight to the grass from the depths.

"Zhang Qian, you lead Xiaopi from the front door, I'll go see what this melon thief is first." Liu Junhao explained, and jumped off the courtyard wall.

Although the courtyard wall is more than two meters high, it is all grass below, so Liu Junhao's voice is very small when he lands, and he seems to be unfazed.

He stooped and crept slowly through the grass along the tracks on the ground, and had barely walked a hundred meters when he heard a rustling sound in the grass in front of him.

Liu Junhao hurriedly squatted on the ground and looked, and immediately saw two melon thieves and grass civets.

It seems that the civets can't go up the tree, I really don't know how they stole this watermelon.

At this moment, the two guys kept rolling the big flower skin with their paws and walked forward, and their tails wagged when they walked, and their steps seemed to be calm, giving people a very leisurely feeling.

If he saw it in the wild, Liu Junhao would have thought that the two of them had just had dinner and were strolling along the road.

They pushed the watermelon nearly twenty meters away, their expressions obviously nervous, and their little heads kept looking around, testing the enemy's situation.

Probably feeling safe, one of the foxes immediately let out a low roar, only to see a few small grass civets running out of the grass under the willow roots.

I didn't expect that the home of this grass civet was located at the root of the willow tree, and they were bold enough to make a nest under the noses of humans.

The little ones were jumping and jumping around the big watermelon, and they looked very happy.

The old fox clicked and bit on the melon skin a few times, and then retreated to the side to stand on guard. A small civet cat immediately pounced on it and nibbled at the crack with its beak, while the rest of the grass croaked in a hurry.

When this one finished eating, the other squeezed in again, and these little ones inherited the temperament of their parents, and looked around with their heads raised as they ate.

"Shasha" Liu Junhao heard the voice behind him, and knew that Zhang Qian led Xiaopi to find it.

The grass civet was also very alert, and immediately howled and warned him. A few little foxes waiting next to them flashed and disappeared under the willow trees. However, the little guy who was eating watermelon couldn't pull out his head in a hurry, and his limbs kept kicking on the ground, driving the watermelon bones to roll around.

"It's foxes, they eat watermelon too!" Zhang Qian stretched out her head curiously to watch.

Xiaopi was just about to rush up, but was stopped by Liu Junhao, who had already seen that this grass civet was the two he had seen last year.

They apparently recognized Zhang Qian as well, and they approached tentatively with a "whoop", completely ignoring Xiaopi's threat.

The little fox in the back reacted quite clumsily, and struggled on the watermelon for a long time without breaking free of its head, and finally had to scream "woo" and ask for help from his parents.

Zhang Qian stepped forward and took a few steps to help, but the two old grass civets immediately jumped back, and their eyes were staring at her tightly.

This thing is more sensitive, Zhang Qian can only tentatively walk towards the watermelon one by one. Finally she slowly squatted down and broke the mouth of the watermelon hard, and the little creature was immediately free, and jumped back.

Trust is built on each other, Zhang Qian helped them twice in a row, and the grass fox probably knew that she had no malicious intentions, so she jumped around her again, this time closer.

Liu Junhao looked a little greedy, and he also wanted to join in the fun, but as soon as he took a step, the two guys immediately shouted to retreat, and they didn't give him any face.

Grandma's, if Lao Tzu hadn't let you go, you would have made leather clothes and hung them in the store.

He muttered in his heart for a while, but he didn't approach Zhang Qian again.

The sun is blazing in the afternoon, but the picture in front of you gives people a warm feeling.

A few little grass civets probably couldn't wait for their parents to get anxious, and they probed their heads into the grass for a while, and then ran out in unison.

Man and nature, everything is so harmonious and perfect idianm
