At noon, they sat in the courtyard and chatted after eating, while Pang Xu walked back and forth, constantly doing chest expansion exercises to eliminate food. After a while, his head was covered with sweat, and he couldn't stop shouting as he walked: "Damn it, really, I only know that this date is very delicious, but I don't know that no matter how delicious it is, eating too much will accumulate food......

Looking at his image of being more resentful than Xianglin's sister-in-law, several people were amused, and Xu Xiaoli shouted that she deserved it, and she didn't want him to eat Haisai like this.

"Chirp ......" When Pang Xudu arrived near the chicken coop, he suddenly heard a few "chicks" cries.

As soon as he turned around, he saw several black "chickens" the size of a child's fist screaming in the chicken coop.

"Little mouse, your hen has hatched chicks, come and see ......," he shouted, and immediately attracted several people, all of whom had excitement in their eyes. Especially Zhang Qian, it was the first time she had seen this kind of scene.

"What eyes, is this a water duck good" Liu Junhao knew that this foodie's cognition of birds was just chickens, ducks, geese and pigeons, and he didn't know anything else, so he refuted him mercilessly.

Counting the days, this water duck should hatch in these two days.

"Water duck, you said this thing is a water duck," Pang Xu immediately squatted down when he heard this, and looked at these little guys up close. At this moment, he completely ignored the hen staring at him, and saw that the hen's hair had completely exploded.

"Well, these water duck eggs were picked up on the river beach a few days ago." Liu Junhao explained their origin slightly.

"Not their own egg-laying hens also hatch? Water ducks grow out obviously different from chicks, and the hen doesn't peck them to death when she sees them? ”

"So far, we haven't met a hen as smart as you!" Liu Junhao's words caused everyone to laugh.

"I thought it was going to be the day after tomorrow, who knew that it would come out of the shell so early, it seems that there is still a difference in the hatching time between wild ducks and domestic ducks." Professor Zhao also looked at these fluffy little guys and said in amazement.

"Don't be arbitrary, it's okay or not, now that the weather is hot, the incubation period has been shortened, and the domestic ducks will hatch in twenty-five or six days at most."

"Wow, this thing is so cute, I want to raise a ......" Xu Xiaoli squatted down and reached out to touch the water duck chirping at the mouth of the chicken coop.

"Be careful...... Liu Junhao's words hadn't been shouted yet, she was already covering her hands, and her eyes were full of tears.

"I'll see, I'll see, are you okay?" Pang Xu also hurriedly pulled her hand over, only to see that the white and tender jade hand was red and swollen, and he hurriedly blew and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt!" "It was like coaxing a child.

"You say it doesn't hurt if it doesn't hurt, you can also reach over and try it" Xu Xiaoli gritted her teeth and said, she looked more like a child.

provoked Zhang Qian to laugh out loud on the side, "You two pay attention to your image, there are others here." ”

Hearing her say this, Xu Xiaoli's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly broke free of her hand.

"It's okay," Liu Junhao interjected at this time, "The hen at this time is particularly protective of cubs, of course it will catch you if you catch its children, if you really want to, when you leave, I will secretly catch two for you to feed, but this thing is too small and not easy to feed alive." ”

"No, this chicken is too hateful," Xu Xiaoli said depressedly while holding her aching arm.

At noon, only the last one of the dozen eggs was left, and it seems that the hatching rate of this water duck is still quite high.

These little guys who have just come out of the shell are all black and fluffy, and they can't stop chirping around the old hens, probably hungry.

The old hen didn't care about the last egg at this time, she got out of the nest, and led the little ones out of the coop and shaved in the yard.

Professor Zhao had already thrown a large piece of steamed bread on the ground, and the hen pecked the steamed buns into pieces in a few bites, so that the little ones could eat them.

"What about this one?" Zhang Qian saw that there was still an egg left in the chicken nest, so she asked.

"This is a twenty-one day out of chickens - bad eggs, you can roast and eat, right?" Pang Xu is a foodie in the end, and he can't do without food in three sentences. He was talking about the hairy eggs sold at the barbecue stall on the side of the road, that thing looked dirty, anyway, Liu Junhao had never eaten it, and he always felt that it was not clean.

"Throw it away, if you don't come out now, it's probably no fun," Liu Junhao said.

"Oh?" Zhang Qian reached out to the chicken coop and took out the last egg, and then exclaimed in surprise: "This is not a bad egg, it is still moving...... I can feel ......."

"Really, I touch?" Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to take it, and sure enough, he felt that there was a small life inside, only to hear a faint "da-da-da" sound from inside, it seemed that the water duck was pecking the shell inside, "This egg is bigger than the others, it is estimated that the shell is too thick, so this water duck can not break the shell." You have to make a small slit in this egg, or after a while it will suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen. ”

"I'll get it, I'll get it" Zhang Qian was also very curious about this kind of thing, reached out and grabbed it, and then looked at Liu Junhao with some embarrassment, she didn't know how to start.

"It's okay, do you see that crack, just lightly buckle a small hole with your fingernails, be careful, don't try too hard." Looking at the cautious appearance of this girl in the city, Liu Junhao only felt funny.

He has lived in the countryside since he was a child, so he is no longer surprised by hen hatching, but Zhang Qian is different, it is the first time he has come into contact with this kind of thing, so his heart is full of the desire to take care of the little life in the palm of his hand.

I saw that she carefully broke a small slit, and the little tender beak of the water duck was immediately revealed, and the little guy, breathing fresh air, immediately made a faint "chirping" sound.

Pang Xu was also very interested at first, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't see the water ducks hatching, so he suddenly felt a little bored, stood up and said: "My eyes are sour, it's better to peel off the shell directly, how simple is this."

"This thing can only survive by breaking its shell on its own." Professor Zhao corrected in the back.

Zhang Qian didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, squatting there and looking at the egg in her hand intently, Xu Xiaoli was still with her at first, and after a while, she lost her patience: "I still don't look at it, I'm too tired to squat." ”

After a few minutes, the small hole got bigger and bigger, and after a while, a wet little head was drilled out of the eggshell with difficulty, Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and exclaimed with some excitement, "Come and see, this little guy is out!" ”

Everyone leaned over again, only to see that she was holding a weak water duck in the palm of her hand, not even having dry hair, and the tender black beak kept pecking at her hand, which looked particularly interesting.

"Give me a touch," Xu Xiaoli was also interested, girls like small animals, and she is certainly no exception.

"Then be careful, don't fall on the ground" Zhang Qian was still a little reluctant.

But the water duck seemed to be particularly disrespectful to Xu Xiaoli, and as soon as it reached her palm, she pulled a puddle of, which made everyone laugh again. Xu Xiaoli gritted her teeth with hatred, and handed the little guy to Zhang Qian's hand again with a red face.

The little guy's hair dried quickly, and he couldn't stop calling at Zhang Qian, obviously hungry. Zhang Qian hurriedly made a small piece of steamed bun again, crumpled it in her hand, and sprinkled it in the palm of her hand for it to peck.

Seeing that she was happily teasing the water duck in her hand, Liu Junhao hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't play for too long, this thing has just come out of the shell, the resistance is particularly weak, if you get your luck for too long, you will not be able to stand it, let's send it to the hen." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Qian squatted down and put the water duck on the ground, pushed it and said, "Go, go back to your mother."

But something stunned happened, she just took a step back, but the duckling "chirped" and followed, and took a few steps back.

Although the hen was just one meter away, the little guy still followed Zhang Qian, and wherever she went, the little guy followed.

"This is Yinsui," Professor Zhao explained, "an important form of newborn animal learning, this water duck opens its eyes and sees you, so it treats you as its own 'mother', which is a good thing, hehe."

Zhang Qian was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, and kept throwing the steamed bun dregs in her hand in front of the duckling for it to eat, the little guy was probably full, and he didn't look at the food on the ground at all, but pecked Zhang Qian's fingers affectionately.

This made Xu Xiaoli, who was watching from the sidelines, particularly blush, and dragged Pang Xu to ask him to find himself a water duck egg.
