Chapter 373: Refined Cuckoo, Silly Red-Mouthed Jade

A group of people watched the yellow eel for a long time, and of course many people deliberately took a big watermelon back before leaving, ready to have lunch to relieve the heat.

To say that Liu Junhao's watermelons are really not expensive, one is more than ten yuan, enough for a family to eat. He never thought about raising the price, which was praised by everyone.

It was almost noon, and the two of them returned to the courtyard early to wait for the owner to feed. They don't see a shadow for half a day, but they are very active in eating.

The weather was too hot, Zhang Qian and Liu Junhao ate a lot of fruit in the morning, and they didn't feel hungry for the time being. If it weren't for Mama Zhang here, they really didn't have the heart to cook.

The lunch is very simple, put the dry dough bought the day before yesterday and soak it in cold water for a while, then chop it and stir it with sesame oil, pour garlic juice and chili water, and then stir-fry tomatoes and eggs to make a cold gherkin. Everything is OK, anyway, it's my own family, and I don't pay so much attention to it.

Not to mention that eating noodles in this weather is really comfortable, Liu Junhao took a pu fan to the shade of the tree after eating a big bowl of three times and five divided by two.

After eating, Zhang Qian wanted to sit in front of the computer and play games, but was counted down by Zhang's mother. said that she was full and hungry, too lazy to do it. Helpless, Zhang Qian had no choice but to obediently take the book and run to her husband to doze off. Before the holiday, she had done a lot of travel plans, but now she has no mind at all. It's too hot outside, so it's better to stay at home, of course, another important reason is that the TV series is about to start filming, and the family can't do without people.

It's easy to get sleepy in the summer, especially after a full meal. After a while, Liu Junhao began to nap in the hammock. Zhang Qian slept for more than two hours in the morning, and now she didn't feel sleepy at all, so she pulled her husband to play chess.

Liu Junhao didn't have any energy at all, but in order to make his wife happy, he had to yawn and accompany him. After a plate was finished, the monkey finally went home, this time carrying a large bag of shells.

This guy ran into the house and took a big flower skin and held it and gnawed it, squeaking at the master while gnawing, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Seeing that no one paid attention to it, he simply ran to the bent neem tree next to him, ready to climb up the tree.

"Cry...... "Before it could make a move, the two red-billed jades in the tree screamed with their feathers, like two small bombers."......

"Goku, get back for me!" Zhang Qian immediately shouted at the top of her throat.

The guy immediately came back with his head drooping, and pointed to a shell on a branch with grievances. Its eyes are so sharp, Liu Junhao didn't see it after a few trips back and forth here.

"No, you are not allowed to go up this tree." Zhang Qian continued to rage there. This time the monkey was completely honest, squatting next to him motionless. Liu Junhao looked at it with a little hot eyes, and the monkey is also watching people cook. Most of the time it is a deaf ear to what he says, but when his wife is angry, he can definitely be honest for a long time.

The two red-billed jades watched the enemy retreat, and then flew back to the nest after screaming for a while.

The slightly larger one was rescued by Wukong last time, when one of its legs was injured by a rope, and Liu Junhao originally planned to let the bird go after the injury was healed. Who knew that the little guy, like the badger, actually liked this place, and he didn't want to leave.

Anyway, the red-mouthed jade will find food to eat by itself, and there is no need to feed it by herself at all, so Liu Junhao acquiesced to it to stay.

Later, I don't know where it found a companion, and the two of them made a nest directly on the neem tree, and completely set up camp in the yard.

Most of the nests are built in bushes or bamboo forests, and they look like deep cups, very close to the ground. It is generally only more than one meter tall and can be touched by a person's outstretched hand.

Liu Junhao is full of people coming and going here every day, and it is not a good place to build a nest at all. But the two red-mouthed jades didn't seem to be very afraid of people, and when someone came, they screamed excitedly. However, they are very wary of monkeys and ocelots, and will scream as soon as they get close.

Zhang Qian was also afraid that the animals in the courtyard would startle the red-mouthed jade, so she specially gave Wukong and Doudou a political lesson. Doudou is very obedient, usually does not go to the neem tree, and one night helped catch a little mouse who was going to go up the tree to steal bird eggs. Wukong is very curious and always wants to get in front of the tree. If it weren't for the two of them watching closely, something might have happened.

"Husband, this nest of birds is probably about to hatch, last week Su Nana called me, saying that she wanted to get one back for his father to play with." Looking at the little guy jumping on the branches, Zhang Qian suddenly remembered the entrustment of her sworn friend.

"It should hatch out, you go to the side and take a look......" To be honest, Liu Junhao really didn't pay attention to when the red-billed lovebird laid its eggs. The hatching of this bird is generally about half a month, and it will be able to fly in another half a month.

"yes, it's really out!" Zhang Qian saw the fluffy little guys in the nest, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Wait, I'll go back and get the digital camera, take a few photos and upload them to the Internet, so that everyone will be happy." ”

"Whatever you want," Liu Junhao was tossed by his wife for a long time, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't do it. Seeing that something finally diverted her attention, she immediately threw away the chess pieces and continued to sleep in the hammock.

Today I was lucky, there were no flies to harass at all. In less than two minutes, he fell asleep.

Zhang Qian took five or six photos in a row with the camera, and then rushed back to the house to upload photos.

She didn't care about it after she finished posting, and casually clicked on the movie she hadn't finished watching last night. Although there is no cinema in Liujiagou here, there is no shortage of entertainment life, and basically any blockbuster can be downloaded directly from the Internet.

After sitting for more than half an hour, after watching the movie, she couldn't get enough of opening the post she had just posted. I was immediately dumbfounded when I saw the reply above, and there were a lot of denunciation posts behind it, saying that the landlord deliberately joked with them, and these young birds were not in the same category at all.

Zhang Qian was still a little confused, and hurriedly checked her photos. I was surprised to see that the four young birds in the photo looked really different. Three of the young birds have black beaks at the base and whitish newborn hairs; The other mouth is dark green with earthy yellow hairs.

The difference between them is too great, and I didn't even look closely at the photo I just took a picture.

It's really strange, could it be another mutation, Zhang Qian felt incredible, and hurriedly ran to the bird's nest to check it out. That's right, one of the birds looked very strange.

"Husband, come and see ......"

"What's the matter, let me have a good rest, okay?" Liu Junhao sat up quite depressed. I was woken up just after falling asleep, and it seems that I don't want to sleep well at noon today.

"Look at the difference between these young birds, take a closer look......" Seeing that her husband was reluctant to get up, Zhang Qian could only drag him under the tree.

"Oh, it's no different." Liu Junhao glanced at it, then turned his head and wanted to go back to sleep.

"Look again," Zhang Qian stretched out five fingers and twisted them around his waist.

"Hiss......" At this time, Liu Junhao was completely sleepy, and his eyes widened as he looked at the four birds that fluttered their wings and screamed. These little creatures had just opened their eyes, and they didn't know that they were afraid, and as soon as they heard the movement, they immediately opened their mouths wide and begged for food.

"What should I be, isn't it just a little white-headed baby bird mixed in there, making a fuss." I thought that my wife let me see something strange, and my feelings were like this.

"It's not surprising, this is the nest of the red-billed acacia, how can there be other kinds of young birds." Zhang Qian was very sad for her husband's sluggishness. The more this person rested, the lazier he became, and he didn't know how he fell in love with him in the first place.

"It's normal, Red-billed Jade has a stinky problem and likes to steal eggs from other birds. It's normal to have a little white-headed man in its nest, and it's a spectacle. Liu Junhao was a little strange, how could his wife's reaction be so violent.

"Normal?" Zhang Qian was completely speechless.

"That's right, you'll get used to seeing more in the future, we have a saying here called 'fine cuckoo, silly red-mouthed jade,'. The cuckoo is overly shrewd and likes to lay eggs in other nests, while the red-billed jade is surprisingly stupid and often steals eggs to hatch. ”

After listening to her husband's detailed explanation, Zhang Qian finally understood that she was rare and strange. Once again, it verifies the saying: the world is full of wonders.

"The baby bird is just raised, what will happen when it grows up?" Finally, she remembered another question.

"You're worried about the ancients, no matter how they live." Liu Junhao persuaded him several times, and finally brought his wife to the house.

But before he could go back to the hammock and lie down, the red rabbit in the stable began to make noise again, screaming at the top of his voice.

It seems that this guy is hot, he can only completely dispel the idea of going to bed at noon, and go back to the house to bring the brush pot water to Chitu. This guy screamed more happily in the circle after he was full, and kicked his hooves vigorously, probably because he didn't want to stay in the stable.

Seeing that the red rabbit was wet, Liu Junhao had no choice but to untie the reins and let it move outside in the shade of the trees.

But he was afraid that this guy would sneak into the field to eat the crops, so he followed closely all the way.

The red rabbit did not run far, but went straight to the shade of the willow tree and looked up to eat the leaves.

It's windy outside, and it's cooler than in the yard. The light wind was blowing, Liu Junhao felt quite good, and his irritable heart finally calmed down.

"Chirp ......" Suddenly, two heads poked out from the water not far away, and it was a small otter fishing inside. They are now two or three months old and are fully adapted to life in the water.

The little ones were also quite excited to see their masters, and not long after they got into the water, they took out a river mussel with a big bowl mouth, apparently trying to show their merits.

Liu Junhao naturally didn't like this thing, so he stuffed it back into their hands.

Seeing that the master didn't want it, the larger otter dragged its fat body ashore, found a fist-sized brick to hold in its paws, and then smashed it hard at the mussel.

"Bang" The tender and slightly fishy mussel meat was revealed, and then the two guys excitedly began to eat it.

Mouth beard, Liu Junhao was a little dumbfounded, they should have learned from their parents
