Chapter 393: The Bloody Case Caused by the Otter

After dinner in the morning, Professor Zhao sat in the wooden bridge pavilion with a cup of tea, while Liu Junhao looked through the dictionary to find the names of his children. This is the top priority at the moment, and he can't be cautious, Zhang Qian has to whisper in his ear almost every day.

Liu Junhao has thought about it for more than 20 years, but all of them have been denied. In fact, in his opinion, it is enough to have a name, which is so exquisite.

But Zhang Qian didn't think so, saying that the name must be chosen carefully. She gave an example of a female classmate in high school, the eldest in the family, when she was born, her father named her Sixi, but it crackled, and she gave birth to three daughters in a row, and sure enough, Sixi came to the door......

Listening to what his wife said was so mysterious, Liu Junhao could only take the name as a big deal.

Just thinking about this, Professor Zhao suddenly pointed to a few Qingzhuang feathers under the bridge and asked, "Xiao Hao, have you noticed, there are often bird feathers in the ditch these days......"

"How fresh, you have just discovered the feelings, it is not normal for birds to shed their hair." Liu Junhao replied absentmindedly, not knowing why he was making a fuss.

"No, you see these are Lao Ling'......," Professor Zhao said, pointing to a few bird feathers blocked by aquatic plants.

"Lao Ling, it couldn't have fallen during Qingzhuang's fight, right?" Liu Junhao speculated when he saw the dark gray feathers nearly twenty centimeters long. This is Qingzhuang's flying feather, which is hard in texture and is generally difficult to fall off, unless it is torn off in a fight.

"There's more, so many ......," Professor Zhao immediately shouted when his eyes fell on the reeds.

"Isn't it?" Liu Junhao looked in the direction of his finger and found a large pile of Qingzhuang feathers.

At this time, the two realized that something was not quite right, and began to search along the ditch, but the more they searched, the more surprised they became, and found nearly half a bamboo basket of bird feathers, as well as many bird bones.

Because the Qingzhuang raised by his family and those in the woods are often mixed together, Liu Junhao did not count them carefully. Now it seems that it is likely that his own Qingzhuang has also suffered a lot.

Thinking of this, Liu Junhao immediately went back to the backyard to catch a large bucket of crucian carp, and then whistled in the yard. At this time, the weather is hot, Qingzhuang will not fly far at all, and it is easy for him to summon.

"Quack, quack" Hearing the master's call, Qingzhuang, who was enjoying the shade in the woods, immediately screamed and rushed into the yard, and rushed around the master.

Liu Junhao casually threw the crucian carp on the ground, teasing Qingzhuang to scatter and count them carefully.

Those Qingzhuang are crowded next to each other, constantly running around, and it is estimated that the eyes of other people are already dizzy. However, Liu Junhao's quick reaction and super mathematical calculation ability are not human, in Zhang Qian's words, he is not human, so it is not difficult to count.

But after the counting, I was depressed again, and not only did my own Qingzhuang not decrease, but there were more than a dozen. He thought he had miscounted and hurriedly counted again.

"How?" Seeing her husband's serious face, Zhang Qian hurriedly asked.

"There's no way to count them, a dozen more, let's count them later in the evening." Liu Junhao shook his head with a wry smile. It must be that the wild Qingzhuang outside has also been mixed in, these guys have been looking for food in front of the door for a long time, and they are no different from the domestic ones, and they are not afraid of people at all.

Unable to find an answer, several people had to go out of the courtyard again and walk upstream along the ditch. Soon they noticed that the bird feathers had increased in the area in front of the door, and that it was normal in the ditch above. It's just that I don't know when the tragedy began, and I didn't even find it under my nose. How do the three macular skins look at the home, serious dereliction of duty

"What do you think preys on waterfowl?" After inspecting the scene, Professor Zhao asked.

"I don't know," Liu Junhao couldn't find the culprit after thinking for a long time, and there was no abnormal situation in the hospital recently.

"Could it be those foxes?" A tourist who came to buy yellow eels interjected. He knew that there were several foxes in the river beach that often ran to Liu Junhao's house, and the foxes also ate water birds.

"Maybe it's a grass leopard, hasn't that guy been here a few times?" Er Mazi followed. He came to pick beans, and he came across this. Since the grass leopard was released back into the mountains and forests, it seems that Liu Junhao has also recognized that this is a treasure of feng shui, and he will show up nearby every three or five days, but every time he is driven away by Xiaopi.

"It shouldn't be," Liu Junhao shook his head. Foxes and clouded leopards eat birds, but they generally don't commit crimes near water. Besides, these waterfowl have become very fierce under the leadership of Qingzhuang in the courtyard, and they will definitely attack them in groups if they really encounter natural enemies. The commotion was no small thing, but he had never seen it.

"Could it be that there is a big fire hidden in the water?" Professor Zhao asked after a moment's thought. This ditch and the weir pond may have a fire head running into the ditch.

"No, if the fire head is small, it is not Qingzhuang's opponent, and if it is big, it will definitely not be able to hide in the ditch." Ermazi followed the denial.

In the morning, everyone was talking about Qingzhuang, but they also said a reason for talking about it for a long time. As for the badgers and otters in the courtyard, Liu Junhao didn't think they did it. Although the badger can climb trees, he is relatively timid, and he once saw those guys being chased everywhere by Qingzhuang. In addition, they usually run into the fields to catch mice, and rarely come to the front.

The same goes for otters, who spend most of their time in the backyard. They are particularly clumsy on land, making it even more difficult to get out of the hospital, and the otter nest is still more than ten meters away from the ditch.

Liu Junhao stayed by the ditch for an afternoon in the afternoon, but the wind was calm and he didn't see any dangerous animals. I thought that I would wait for the evening to count and see if there were fewer Qingzhuang in my house, but I didn't know how to count them, and there were still more than a dozen. Now he has no tricks, and he doesn't know what the problem is.

I thought that this mystery would be difficult to solve, but I didn't know that just one day later, the culprit appeared.

If you want to say which tourists come to Liujiagou more often, Wen Fuqiang and his wife can definitely be ranked. Since discovering that their son has become cheerful in Liujiagou, they must bring their son to live here for a day or two every week. After the start of the summer vacation, he went to Liujiagou every once in a while.

Of course, they didn't buy Liu Junhao's watermelons, and they became acquaintances as soon as they came and went, and Xiao Wenwen was no stranger to the yard, and soon played with the monkeys.

Wen Fuqiang and his family became more and more envious of Liu Junhao's living environment, and when they opened the courtyard door, even the air was full of fresh and clean breath. The courtyard is full of green trees, flowers, and flocks of chickens and ducks. When I came down in my spare time, I poured a cup of tea and held a book, as if I had forgotten the hustle and bustle of the city and retreated to the countryside.

After Xiao Wenwen and Wukong teased for a while, they touched a yellow eel hook from the window and went to the ditch outside to fish for yellow eel.

Wen Fuqiang was afraid that his son would play in the water, so he hurriedly took a yellow eel hook and followed behind. It should be said that this man also fished for yellow eels when he was a child, so he wanted to show off in front of his son.

After hanging the earthworm, he immediately crouched down next to the wooden bridge. According to previous experience, there should be a yellow eel cave under this wooden bridge.

As soon as the yellow eel hook reached into the water, it immediately heard the sound of rushing water from under the bridge.

He thought that there were big fish, so he subconsciously stretched his head under the bridge, but his face suddenly turned pale.

"Wow, what the hell......" Wen Fuqiang suddenly shouted, almost scaring Liu Junhao, who had just walked out of the courtyard, away.

Then I saw him fall backwards in a panic, but he didn't expect the edge of the ditch to be too slippery, stepped on the moss, and fell into the lotus pond with a thud.

"Help, help" is a particularly miserable voice.

Liu Junhao admired him a little, how could such a big man be so timid, and he didn't know what he saw. Besides, this ditch is only thigh-deep, do you need to shout for help?

"I said Lao Wen, what did you see," Liu Junhao smiled and stretched out his hand to pull him.

"There's something under the bridge...... Monster ......" Wen Fuqiang climbed ashore and screamed with his finger, despite the wetness on his body.

He made a lot of noise, which alarmed Zhang Qian and Ye Wanhua.

Several people put their heads under the bridge to take a look, but they didn't see anything.

"You're dazzled, hurry up and ask Xiao Hao to find you two dry clothes to change into." Ye Wanhua reprimanded a few words, and then asked the master to find clothes.

"Dad, you are so inferior" Xiao Wenwen also fell into the ground.

Liu Junhao and Wen Fuqiang are about the same height, but they are slightly stronger, and his clothes are quite suitable for him.

After changing his clothes, Wen Fuqiang was still unwilling. Just now, a few tourists came to buy yellow eel, and they happened to see him fall into the water, which was too embarrassing. And he felt that his eyes were not flowering, and there was obviously something.

Thinking of this, he put his head under the bridge again, but his eyes widened, and his hands trembled involuntarily, fortunately he didn't fall into the water this time.

"Is it really weird?" Seeing his form, Liu Junhao also climbed sideways under the bridge to see: his scalp was numb, and his hands subconsciously helped the bridge guardrail

Good fellow, I saw a few pairs of pea-sized eyes staring at me in the dark in the water, shining green and shining, very scary. I couldn't see clearly in the dark, but I felt that there were a few big pythons hiding under the bridge.

As if hearing his movements, the guys chirped.

As soon as the otters heard the sound, Liu Junhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was Baoyu's voice, and the feeling was that several otters were hiding under the bridge.

"I'm dizzy, it turned out to be an otter" Wen Fuqiang saw that it was a few little guys, and his hands stopped trembling.

Seeing the master, Baoyu's family seemed very happy, and they all screamed and poked their heads out from under the bridge. Behind them, a basin-sized black hole is faintly visible, which is supposed to be the otters' burrows.

Otters shouldn't stay in the yard, when did they run out? This...... It can't be digging a cave under the bridge, right? Liu Junhao thought it was incredible, knowing that the otter nested on the east side of his yard, and the wooden plank bridge was next to the front of Professor Zhao's house, and even if a straight line was pulled diagonally between the two places, it was more than 20 meters away.

A few otters shouldn't be able to do such a big job...... Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurriedly turned around and went back to the yard, leaning under the peach tree and shouting loudly.

"Squeak...... Squeak ......" Soon there were several crisp cries from the otter hole. Baoyu happily poked her head out under the peach tree.

Damn, isn't it, Liu Junhao was completely dizzy.

The day before yesterday, Professor Zhao told himself that there were bird feathers in the ditch, and he thought that some unknown animal had stolen them. Now it seems that ten of them are the case of their own otters.

At noon, the sun doesn't shine at noon, so many fish will hide under the bridge to cool off, and those greedy waterfowl will naturally gather underwater.

Otters hide in their holes and wait, and it's too easy to catch waterfowl. It's a natural trap

No wonder I heard Qingzhuang screaming at noon a few times, but it was too hot, so Liu Junhao didn't go out of the yard to check.

After thinking everything through, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly called Professor Zhao out, and then told everyone his reasoning. Everyone thought it was incredible, and they tried back and forth a few times under the otter cave and the bridge before believing Liu Junhao's words.

But what made them even more incredible was how an otter could quietly dig such a long burrow, twenty meters long in a straight line, which was difficult for even humans to do.

"Hehe, I've read about this on the Internet before, otters are quite smart, we can't look at them too simply." Wen Fuqiang no longer had the panic just now at this time, and he said, "They build embankments and weirs between water and land to intercept water into pools, and build holes and nests. There are several entrances and exits of the cave, usually one end is open in the woods, and the other end is open two or three meters under the water, so that the water and land are connected, not only easy to enter and exit, but also can directly dive into the water to forage for food or escape. The cave is a little longer, but it's not much, and the otter can dive underwater for five or six minutes. ”

"That is," with the visitor interface, "the wisdom of animals is beyond people's imagination." I've also heard that there is an animal called the beaver, and that's smart. They can use tree poles, stones, and silt to build dikes to intercept floodwaters, and the longest dikes are said to be nearly 200 meters long, six or seven meters wide, and more than three meters high. Better than humans...... And they will also build houses, and the houses are quite elaborate, similar to the charcoal kilns we used to burn bricks, and the walls of the houses are coated with clay to prevent explosions......"

"Really?" It was the first time Liu Junhao had heard of such a smart animal, which was even more outrageous than his own, and it seemed quite demonic.

"It's absolutely true, don't believe it, wait until you check it out...... In the western United States, beavers are transported there to control the amount of water in streams and rivers and they are allowed to build embankments to settle down. ”

After Liu Junhao checked on the Internet, he learned that there is no best x, only more ox. Beavers are beyond their imagination, and when can they introduce a few to Liujiagou, it can definitely cause a sensation.

But just think about it, this stuff is very rare in China. Only beavers exist in the Burgen River Basin in Xinjiang, which are national first-class protected animals and cannot be introduced at all.

But how to deal with these otters, Liu Junhao was worried.

Naturally, it is not possible to reason with otters, and it is estimated that they will not understand, those fish thieves in the backyard have not eaten less, and now they want to correct it too late.

Qingzhuang didn't catch the otters when he was in the courtyard, probably not because of his high consciousness as he had speculated before, but because they were too slow on land.

Yes, just eat, Liu Junhao didn't have a foolproof plan to think about it, so he had to give up. After all, otters live on fish, and they only eat waterfowl occasionally
