Chapter 487: Earthquakes Have Precursors
Professor Zhao naturally agreed to these requests one by one, and also picked a lot of loofahs to the villagers who came to learn from them.
Liu Junhao didn't go to join in the fun, he knew that the old man's loofah had such a strange scene. Professor Zhao found these loofah seeds from his house, and when he heard that people were planning to plant them on the roof, Liu Junhao was afraid that he would not be able to plant them, so he soaked them in the spring water for two days, and this abnormal situation occurred. But it's okay to let Old Man Zhao attract some attention.
Liu Junhao and his daughter-in-law sat on the stone bench under the neem tree at this time, and the two little ones were snuggling in the cradle and humming inexplicable sounds.
Zhang Qian's body is well maintained, the milk is very sufficient, and they have always insisted on breastfeeding.
In just over two months, the little ones' faces have become fat, their little arms and legs are like lotus roots, and their bones have begun to harden. Now they lie in the cradle and are not at ease at all, kicking their hands and feet, and from time to time they put their little hands in their mouths. Zhang Qian was afraid that their little hands would be too dirty, so she hurriedly pulled them down, but unfortunately she didn't want them for a minute, and the little guy put his hand in and sucked it again.
"Why don't we buy a pacifier too?" Liu Junhao said helplessly. The two little ones don't know anything now, they only know how to eat, and whatever they touch in their hands has to fill their mouths.
Last time Xiao Er, he hurriedly went to find a toilet paper to wipe, but when he found the paper, he was speechless. Turning his head, this guy didn't know how to catch Poop, and was whining and stuffing it into his mouth, if he was half a step slower, he would have stuffed it into his mouth.
"No, that pacifier is unhygienic, maybe it's made of plastic." Zhang Qian vetoed it. Now it is reported on the Internet every day that many toy manufacturers' plastics are processed from pesticide bottles purchased from the countryside, and many of them have pesticide residues.
Khan, the daughter-in-law really treats the two little guys as baby bumps now, and she won't let anything get them. Seeing that Zhang Qian disagreed, Liu Junhao just didn't say anything. Turning his head to see the squirrel picking a big peach from the tree, he snatched it.
This year, the two new peach trees do not bear many fruits, and they are quite large. However, he has not eaten it yet, and Wukong has already taken possession of these peaches, and often the peaches are just red, and they have already been picked and enjoyed by themselves.
The squirrel looked greedy, but as soon as this guy climbed the peach tree, he would immediately be driven down by the monkey's scratching and scratching.
Today, Wukong didn't know where to go, so he finally found an opportunity to steal peaches from the tree.
This guy is quite discerning, and he deliberately picked a big half-red peach. After Liu Junhao washed it, he broke it in half with his hands, handed half of it to his daughter-in-law, and the two of them shared it.
It tastes good, at least not like the failed peach tree on the west side of the courtyard.
While eating, the monkey squeaked in, and the guy didn't pay attention to the peach in his master's hand, but showed them a big plastic bag...... It contained most of the bags of air toads.
The air toad is a type of frog with an earthy gray color, and its size is much smaller than that of ordinary frogs. This thing is not amazing in appearance but can be very inspiring, so it is called the popular toad in the countryside.
Children in the countryside like to play with toads the most, and after catching them by the pond, they use dry wheat straw to insert them into the toads and blow desperately. The air toad will slowly grow larger like a balloon, and when it can no longer be blown, tie a knot at the other end of the wheat straw and throw the toad into the mountain stream. In this way, the air toad swirled down the river in the water, and a group of bear children waved to the toad and shouted: Air toad, swim and swim, swim to grandma's house for a while......
Liu Junhao also did a lot of similar things when he was a child, but he didn't know how Wukong became interested in the air toad, and he caught so many at once.
After the monkey displayed the plastic bag in front of the owner, he ran outside the courtyard and opened it, and the toad suddenly jumped all over the ground.
The surrounding Qingzhuang swarmed, as if an army was sweeping, and before Zhang Qian could react, the air toads on the ground had already become food in Qingzhuang's mouth.
"Wukong" Zhang Qian angrily picked up the monkey and twisted it twice according to his ears. She can understand that Wukong can't learn well, but she can understand the mischievous things at a glance. Two days ago, when He Yifan was picking wild coriander, he caught a few frogs and fed them to Qingzhuang, but the little guy immediately learned.
Faced with the master's punishment, the monkey did not care, and the little paw pointed to the distance and barked indiscriminately, as if something had happened.
"Why don't we go out for a walk?" Liu Junhao suggested that it was okay to go out with the two children in his arms anyway, it was not very hot now.
"Well," Zhang Qian also had this intention, and went back to the yard to pick up the little ones.
The monkey did not take them far and led them directly to the embankment.
The two of them climbed the embankment, stunned by what they saw—stupefied to be exact.
I saw that on the steep slope at the bottom of the embankment, on the edge of the ridge, and in the grass, there were black and pressed air toads everywhere, at least tens of thousands, so many air toads were in a mess, constantly screaming and jumping towards the top of the river embankment. The air toads gather together, which naturally attracts the frenzied pecking of waterfowl. But these things didn't seem to know what to be afraid of, and still screamed and stumbled over the embankment.
"This ...... This husband, what's wrong? Zhang Qian's voice trembled a little.
"I don't know," Liu Junhao now knew why the monkey was able to easily catch a plastic bag of air toads. This place is so dense that you can reach out and pick up a handful. Although I have seen the phenomenon of toads swarming before, there have never been so many, which is too bizarre.
"Liu Junhao, Liu Junhao, come on, there are a lot of gas toads in this ditch, hurry up and come over to see what's going on" At this time, Liu Laosan shouted at the distance at the top of his throat. His plot is next to a ditch, and when he went to work in the field, he found a swarm of air toads. At first, there were not many air toads in the field, but in less than half an hour, countless air toads jumped into the ground, and in some places there were so many that they couldn't even put their feet down.
Only then did he feel that something was wrong, and he was just about to shout to the village with a hoe, and saw Liu Junhao and the two of them on the river embankment.
"Third uncle, there are also here, you hurry up" Liu Junhao replied with a loud voice.
"Oh" Liu Laosan hurried over with a hoe, just walked to the bottom of the embankment, and suddenly shouted "Mom", picked up the hoe and turned a big bend and climbed up the embankment. I was probably a little nervous, and I almost fell down several times when I climbed the embankment.
No wonder he was so nervous, mainly frightened, that there were more toads under the embankment than in his field. Liu Junhao and his family didn't feel it from a distance on the embankment, but he was very surprised when he was close.
"Could it be a precursor to an earthquake?" Zhang Qian looked at it for a while and said. When I was in elementary school, I learned that "before the earthquake, animals have omens, cattle, sheep, mules and horses do not enter the pen, pigs do not eat, and dogs bite indiscriminately...... The snake came out of the hole in the ice and snow, the big cat ran with the kitten in its mouth, the toad ant moved the house, and the peacock elephant ran wildly......"
During the earthquake two years ago, many animals had similar aura, and she almost subconsciously thought about it.
"How is it possible, there has never been an earthquake in the history of Liujiagou." Liu Junhao vetoed it. I've encountered this phenomenon before, but it's not so outrageous.
"Call the old people in the village and come over to see what's going on." Standing with them, Liu Laosan was finally not as scared as he was just now.
"Hmm," Liu Junhao immediately called the village to inform Liu Guangju.
I don't know how this person shouted in the village, but in less than ten minutes, there were two or three hundred villagers and tourists who came.
So many people were also a little panicked when they saw the imagination of the air toads gathering, and they talked about it for a while.
"It's not going to be an earthquake......
"Most likely, it is said that the xx earthquake is like this"
"I think it could be a ...... of rising water"
Although the opinions of the tourists are not the same, they all tend to be inclined to something happen. The main reason is that just a few years after the earthquake that shocked the world in China, people are still more sensitive to this abnormal animal migration behavior.
At first, the villagers of Liujiagou felt that such a thing was normal, after all, they had encountered it before. But the three of them became tigers, and in the discussion of tourists, they were also a little uncertain.
If you don't figure things out quickly, it is estimated that it will cause a panic in the crowd. Liu Junhao hurriedly called Reporter Guo to explain the situation here.
Reporter Guo said on the phone that he immediately contacted relevant experts from the Earthquake Bureau and the Forestry Bureau...... Reporter Guo arrived faster than he expected.
By noon, he led a large group of people to Liujiagou.
After all, this anomaly is very rare, and everyone wants to get a positive answer to feel at ease, so they all guard Liu Guangju's compound and refuse to leave.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Guangju ignored the hot weather and directly used a loudspeaker to notify everyone of the meeting.
The meeting was brief, with several experts taking turns to speak. First, the technician of the earthquake bureau said that no significant ground tremors were found in the entire area, but the experts of the forestry bureau explained that this phenomenon is normal and that it often occurs in the spring, and it has also occurred in nearby provinces and cities a few days ago.
It is said that the situation in Liujiagou is mainly due to the high temperature and drought in the spring of this year, and the little toads lay eggs later than in previous years. Now that the rainy season is in place, it provides favorable conditions for the hatching of toad eggs, so that they can quickly form frog colonies, and the small toads themselves have the habit of swarming.
Finally, it was concluded that this phenomenon is a normal migration of tadpoles during the rainy season, and has no direct relationship with the so-called "earthquake coming".
Although most people are usually not interested in the so-called experts, they are still relieved to hear the affirmative answer.
I was worried that after this abnormal phenomenon was reported, the number of tourists would decrease, but what the people of Liujiagou did not expect was that there was a wave of small peaks in the next few days, all of which were unusual.
It seems that many people belong to the ...... who do not show their fate when they watch the excitement Liu Junhao can only speculate like this.
But they don't have eyes, and by the evening the toads have dispersed, and the tourists can only enjoy the pictures.
There was a phenomenon of swarming of air toads not far from the ditch, Liu Junhao secretly speculated that it might be related to the spring water, after all, there was a rain just a few days ago, and the water in his yard flowed into the ditch...... This provoked a flock of frogs to gather around the river embankment sluices.
However, this thought was only fleeting, and he didn't think that his stone lock had such a great ability.
