Chapter 38: The Dog Barks in the Middle of the Night
"Giggle......" As soon as Liu Junhao's hand reached into the chicken coop, the half-sized hen had already stretched her head over quickly and pecked at his hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly withdrew his hand, otherwise this peck would definitely be indispensable, he looked at the hen squatting in the corner of the chicken coop with some fear, only to see that its feathers all over its body exploded, like a fighter.
"Let Lao Tzu slaughter you again," he curtively dispelled the idea of eating eggs at noon.
"Why aren't you bold, you go and dig the eggs, why don't you dig them?" Professor Zhao couldn't help but smile and ask when he saw him deflated. When he was digging eggs just now, he was careless and his hands were pecked, and Liu Junhao was still talking cool words on the side, he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon.
"No way, the hen in the hatching period is not reasonable at all" Liu Junhao said helplessly, this hen laid eggs very diligently a few days ago, but I don't know what happened, suddenly picked up the nest in the chicken coop and occupied a lot of eggs, making it difficult for the two of them to eat an egg. Every time, I waited until the night had completely fallen before I could sneak my hand into the coop and take out the eggs.
It's not that Liu Junhao is reluctant to give up those eggs, but Professor Zhao didn't think about it when he bought these chickens, and he bought all the hens. There is no rooster in his house, there is no solitary yin, and there is no rooster to "crush the eggs", these eggs are considered "dumb", and they can't hatch chicks.
Professor Zhao began to prepare to go to the village to exchange some eggs and come back, but Liu Junhao vetoed it, and directly took the water duck egg and put it under the hen and let it hatch.
These dozen water duck eggs were originally picked up by the river, and Liu Junhao was originally going to cook them for Xiao Haoyu to eat, but the little guy didn't agree with anything, so he had to take them back and let his friends see what water duck eggs were. He wanted to show off in front of his friends, and he secretly hid them while the adults weren't looking.
Who knew that Zhao Weidong forgot about it when they left that day, and Liu Junhao didn't think of this stubble in a panic because he got something for them, so the duck eggs were kept, and they were turned out in the firewood pile when Professor Zhao was cooking at night.
So these dozen duck eggs are placed under the hen's belly, and the hen will hatch no matter what the egg is when it reaches the hatching period! Even if you put a round stone, it will do, and it will still turn over every day.
And the duck eggs were handed over to the hens to incubate, Liu Junhao was very relieved, how did he say that sentence: You do things, I can rest assured.
Don't look at the water duck is an expert in nesting and hatching eggs, but the domestic duck is a stupid guy who can only lay eggs and not hatch eggs. The "glorious task" of hatching ducklings in the countryside is done by the hen, so it can be said that it is experienced.
Twenty-one, duck duck twenty-eight, that is, from duck eggs to ducklings to twenty-eight days, this time the hen is actually hard enough, lying in the nest every day motionless, at most to eat when running out of the nest, quickly drink two sips of water, catch a few grains of rice and hurriedly return to the nest to hatch eggs.
Professor Zhao couldn't bear it, so he put a big bowl of water in front of the chicken coop, and by the way, he piled up some melons, fruits and rice grains there for it to eat.
Professor Zhao also feels that the older he gets, the more like a mother-in-law, he used to live in a hurry and panic, but now he has leisure time, and he is increasingly interested in flowers, birds, insects and fish, and it is also a pleasure to look at the small things running around in a yard when he has nothing to do.
That night, when the two of them were sleeping soundly, they suddenly heard Little Pi screaming in the yard, and then the hens in the hen coop began to cluck.
"There's a thief......!" This was Liu Junhao's first reaction, he quickly touched the light bulb rope at the head of the bed and turned it on, and he didn't bother to put on clothes, so he went to the hall and picked up a shovel and rushed to the courtyard with a portable lamp.
He still clearly remembered the experience of the thief more than a month ago, and now that Xiaopi was getting older, he was also a lot more relieved. But sometimes I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves. The big fire heads and turtles raised in their yards are very conspicuous, and now the people who come here to visit have more than doubled the price. Especially the old turtle, which is becoming more and more famous, has become a well-known golden sign in Liujiagou, and everyone who comes here has to take a few looks.
Its value has also soared, although Liu Junhao has repeatedly said that he will not sell, but he can't stop the enthusiasm of buyers, and almost every once in a while, someone comes to ask.
There has been no movement these days, and he thought that those thieves were completely dead, but he didn't expect that the thieves' hearts were not dead.
Liu Junhao took the portable lamp and shone it quickly, but he didn't find a figure, and Xiaopi was still screaming at the courtyard wall.
"People ran away? Dog's legs are quite sharp. He scolded indignantly, and then went to look at the courtyard door, which was locked tightly, and there was no trace of prying. It seems that the thief should have climbed in from the courtyard wall, but this thief was too quick to escape over the wall so quickly?
It is also possible that he was discovered by Xiaopi as soon as he went to the courtyard wall, and he jumped off the wall to escape.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, is it a thief?" At this time, Professor Zhao also hurriedly walked out of the room with his clothes on, and shouted at him.
"Well, but I didn't see any figures, I guess Xiaopi ran away as soon as he called them" Liu Junhao took a portable lamp and carefully searched the corners of the courtyard again, and after making sure that there were no Tibetans, he returned to the hall with Professor Zhao.
However, they did not fall asleep immediately, but sat in the hall with the light turned off and waited, and waited for almost an hour without moving, Liu Junhao really couldn't stand the sleepiness and got up and said: "It seems that this thief will not come, let's go to bed early, there is a little skin, and the thief can't get in." ”
"What if I get drugged?" Professor Zhao said with some concern.
"Do you think Xiaopi will eat it?" Liu Junhao looked relieved.
"That's right," Professor Zhao calmed down when he heard him say this, and as Xiaopi grew older, the excellent bloodline on the macular skin gradually manifested itself and became very vigilant. The average person is fed food and it doesn't eat at all, not even the best things.
So far, it only eats the food fed by Professor Zhao and Liu Junhao, don't look at the hairy child to come to the yard is considered diligent enough, but that time his father caught a fat rabbit in the field and fried a big pot of meat, he deliberately left a few bones for Xiaopi to feed it, but Xiaopi still didn't eat it, or Liu Junhao took something to feed it before eating.
In fact, sometimes, animals are much smarter than humans and are more able to withstand temptation.
The two of them went back to the house to sleep, Liu Junhao just closed his eyes dimly, but heard Xiaopi screaming again.
"Damn, there's no end to it?" Liu Junhao was very annoyed, grabbed the shovel and rushed out, and saw Xiaopi howling at the courtyard wall.
Professor Zhao didn't take off his clothes at all just now, so this time he came out very quickly, Liu Junhao went to the courtyard with his front foot, and he followed with his back foot.
"Let people run away again?" He asked from behind.
"Well, Xiaopi can't get out of the yard, otherwise he will definitely catch up with the thief." Liu Junhao nodded unwillingly.
After making sure it was safe again, they went back to the house and sat down, but this time they didn't feel sleepy and simply sat in the room and waited.
Of course, in order not to alarm the thief too early, Liu Junhao also deliberately led Xiaopi into the hall and let him sit there honestly.
More than an hour passed, and just when they thought that the thief would not come tonight, Xiaopi suddenly jumped up from Liu Junhao's side and jumped out directly through the crack in the hidden door.
The agile speed startled the two of them, Liu Junhao was the first to react, and rushed to the door with a shovel, and the portable lamp followed Xiaopi's figure.
No one? Seeing Xiao Pi rushing forward, he was a little confused, and the portable lamp shone forward for a few more minutes, but saw a black shadow flickering at the courtyard wall, and Xiao Pi began to shout at the courtyard wall.
What the hell is it? Liu Junhao hurriedly rushed to the wall, took care of the portable lamp everywhere, he saw a small shadow just now, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Hell, when he saw the twenty or thirty centimeter-high waterway eye at the base of the wall, he suddenly realized that that thing had escaped from the waterway eye, no wonder Xiaopi yelled here.
Guess what this thief is??
