Chapter 391: Catching a Centipede

Zhang Qian originally wanted to play a little trick and ask her husband to pick a bunch for herself, but seeing that he didn't eat oil and salt, she had to pick up the watermelon juice on the table.

said that since she became pregnant, her husband has become hateful and doesn't let herself do anything.

She yawned and went back to the house to meet the net.

"Don't, or you should embroider cross-stitch" Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped. He is now trying to prevent his wife from surfing the Internet, and he can go on as little as he can.

"I don't want to embroider," Zhang Qian shook her head vigorously.

"Then I'll give you a simple brain teaser, I just read it from the Internet......" Liu Junhao hurriedly diverted his wife's attention.

"You say ......" Zhang Qian was quite interested in brain teasers.

"There are a hundred hunters in the field, and ninety-nine of them are hunting rabbits, and only one is not, may I ask why?" Liu Junhao casually made a brain teaser.

"......" Zhang Qian pursed her lips and remembered.

Liu Junhao likes to look at his wife, and he looks quite cute and silly with his eyebrows and lips. It's good to take pictures with your mobile phone if you have the kung fu, and let him see the old "ugly" state when the child grows up and is sensible.

"It won't be about caring for small animals, it's definitely not the answer" Before her husband could speak, Zhang Qian had already denied herself.

She guessed a few with a few faces, and Liu Junhao shook his head and said no. Finally, at the urging of his wife, he gave the answer, "Because the hunter's nickname is 'Rabbit,' he was being beaten by other people." ”

"Cut, boring. One more ......"

Seeing that he successfully diverted his wife's attention, Liu Junhao began to talk again. As he was talking, he suddenly heard a click above his head.

He was startled, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked up at the tree, only to see an arm-thick branch on the jujube tree broken, revealing dark red wood.

"Husband, what's the matter with this jujube tree?" Zhang Qian didn't bother to cut her nails, and hurriedly got up from the chair.

This year, there seem to be more dates on the jujube tree than last year, and many branches are bent, which is very gratifying. The knots on this broken branch are particularly thick, and it is estimated that it can knock down thirty or forty catties of dates. It's worth 100 bucks.

Seeing that the dates were about to ripen, but such a thing happened, Zhang Qianxiao was a little distressed.

Hearing the movement in this courtyard, Professor Zhao also came over to ask.

"What else can it be, there are too many jujube trees and I am distressed." Liu Junhao pointed to the broken branch and said, "You see that the branch section is dark red, this is hollowed out by insects, plus there are many dates this year." ”

"I said, this jujube is blue and shiny, it looks like it's already crispy, it's a pity to hang it on the tree, let's hold the jujube bun when we get it down later, right?" Professor Zhao suggested.

"Okay, I'll call all the bear children in the village to pick up dates." Liu Junhao had this intention and immediately went out to call someone. The three of them can't finish picking up so many dates, so it's better to find a few more helpers.

I heard that he was beating dates in his yard, and children rushed to him, and even a few tourists came to see the excitement. Liu Junhao's jujube is famous among tourists, and they all know that this jujube has a big flavor and is sweet in the mouth.

Seeing that people were coming, he casually pointed to the broken branch and said a word of dates. Wukong reacted immediately, and jumped to the branch after three times and divided by two, and the guy held the branch and shook it for a while, and it rained in the courtyard.

"Wukong, stop" Seeing that the dates had almost fallen, Liu Junhao hurriedly called a halt.

Wukong was obedient and immediately stopped moving.

Seeing that the dates were no longer falling, the group of children began to scramble. Liu Junhao also picked up a few casually, wiped the soil on it and tasted it, it was really sweet and sweet.

Wukong wilted, and when he saw people coming under the jujube tree, this guy shook the branches again unexpectedly.

"Crackling" the dates fell again, beating the children who picked up the dates to the point of holding their heads.

Liu Junhao hurriedly scolded, but this guy was disobedient, but squeaked excitedly, and the movements on his paws did not stop.

Wukong's interest came and went quickly, and after a while, he lost interest, so he sat alone on the jujube tree and ate dates.

This broken jujube branch will definitely not survive, and there are still a lot of jujubes on it, which are left on the tree for waste. Liu Junhao took out a long bamboo pole hook from under the eaves again, directly got the jujube branches down, and prepared to dry them for fire.

Liu Junhao didn't ask for the dates picked up by the bear children, and let them eat and play by themselves. I have picked up a few catties at home, which is enough to wrap jujube buns.

Who knew that these guys didn't have enough to eat, and after a while, they ate all the jujubes in their hands, and they were clamoring to eat them. Liu Junhao was afraid of crushing the branches again, so he complied with the will of the people and picked up the bamboo pole hook and shook it.

At this time, Liu Wuye entered the courtyard, and Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped and invited him to eat jujubes.

"Yes, this jujube is sweeter than the two trees in my yard," Liu Wuye couldn't help but praise after tasting it. After resting for a while, he said his intention, "Xiao Hao, do you have centipedes in your backyard, if so, catch a few for me, I'll wait to use ......"

"Fifth master, you want to catch centipedes, I'll help you ......" Before Liu Junhao could interject, the hairy child had already volunteered to stand up.

"You kid, get away, do you know centipedes" Liu Wuye patted his head, and had already pressed the bear child on the chair.

"Fifth Master, why do you want to catch centipedes at this time, the time is not right? Do you want to wait no longer and help you when I have time in the fall? Liu Junhao asked suspiciously.

In fact, he is not shirking, this is really not the best time to catch centipedes. If you want to catch centipedes, you generally catch them in the spring, and they are caught before the Qingming Festival. This is because centipedes usually burrow into the soil in the cold weather in October and do not wake up until they are stung. At this time, the centipede recuperates for a winter, the skin shell is thick and shiny, fat, and the best medicine.

After the beginning of summer, many centipedes begin to hide in bricks, rocks or weeds to lay eggs and molt, which is quite difficult to catch. It's not easy to find if you don't bother to find it. There is also a lot of rain in summer, and the captured centipedes are not easy to keep dry, and the insects will rot if you are not careful.

"The other night, it was hot, and your fifth grandmother was sleeping on the ground, but the old rheumatism was committed, and she was uncomfortable all over. I found a recipe and needed a dozen centipedes to make a medicine. I'm not looking for you......"

"I said Fifth Master, if you are sick, go to the hospital immediately. Don't hit the hands of the delay, where did you come from? Liu Junhao hurriedly dissuaded.

"It's okay, your fifth grandmother is an old problem, I have used the recipe before. Your backyard has a big yard, an old house, and thick grass. I guess there must be a lot of centipedes......"

Liu Wuye is not wrong, centipedes like to eat insects such as green worms and cockroaches, and Liu Junhao's backyard is suitable for centipedes to survive, but he hasn't even seen one for so long. The reason can be imagined: centipedes are scary, but in fact, they have many natural predators, such as mice, roosters, birds, and even ants.

When it comes to centipedes, most people know that this thing is called the "five poisons" along with snakes, scorpions, geckos, and toads, and ranks first among the five poisons.

It is also a kind of Chinese medicinal material, in the early years, in the summer and autumn, centipedes appeared in large numbers, and there were people on the streets of Qingshan Town who specialized in buying centipedes. According to the size of the centipede, it is priced at 5 cents a piece under 9 centimeters, 1 cent for a medium one, and 3 cents a piece for a large one.

At that time, you could buy a popsicle for 5 cents, or a handful of melon seeds and old beef tendons. This is a good way to generate income to improve his life, Liu Junhao was crazy about centipedes when he was a child. They don't care what people buy centipedes for, anyway, they pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Often in the afternoon, as soon as school is over, he puts down his schoolbag and carries a small nail rake all over the village to find centipedes and catch scorpions.

Catching centipedes is an empirical job, and the first thing to do is to choose a good terrain, which generally lives in dark and damp places. Therefore, adobe wall roots in the shade are preferred, especially if the wall roots are piled with stones, broken tiles, rotten leaves, and generally centipedes. A few times with a nail rake can dig out one.

At this time, as long as you are bold and careful, press the centipede with the teeth of the nail rake, and then pinch the centipede's head with your hands, pull out the two fangs of the centipede, and throw them into the canned bottle, and you will get it for a dime.

However, it should be noted that you must not use too much force, otherwise it will be worthless to pull the centipede off. Later, they moved so much that they almost knocked down the adobe house of Liu Junyi's family. As a result, they found the school, and the teacher reprimanded them. Helplessly, this group of guys had no choice but to look outside the village. I don't know who first discovered that there were more centipedes in and around the dilapidated tomb, and they were quite large.

So, a group of bear children didn't know that they were afraid, and stupidly took a nail rake to dig the grave. Of course, they didn't dare to touch the graves in the village, but went to the hillside to find the kind of ownerless graves.

I don't know how many years these graves have been piled up, they have fallen into disrepair for a long time, and they have long since become a pile of rubble, and many skeletons can be seen through the gaps.

The timid ones were already frightened when they saw this thing, but they were quite interested. Liu Junhao's most awesome thing was to see that there was a huge centipede in the eye socket of the skeleton, and a group of people didn't dare to get it, so he kicked it a few times with his foot, and when the centipede came out, he directly pinched it with his hand and threw it into the bottle.

Then rubbed his hands together in the admiring gaze of his partners, looking very proud, and then thought about his actions at that time

Another time, when I was playing bow with my classmates after class, I accidentally found more than a dozen fat centipedes in the corner. He and Liu Qiyong pulled out the centipede's teeth and secretly put them in their classmates' stationery boxes.

Wait for those classmates to open the stationery box...... You can imagine what it was like at that time

During the whole self-study class, the classmates spent time screaming and jumping chickens and dogs, and many timid female classmates were crying in a daze.

Of course, the incident was quickly reported to the teacher, and several participants were dragged by the ears by the teacher and thrown outside to the penalty station. Liu Junhao and Liu Qiyong, who were the culprits, were also specially "taken care of" by the teacher with bamboo poles and sticks, and they almost didn't swell their hands.
