Chapter 473: Strange Ditches

According to the adults, in order to prevent the treasure from being obtained by humans, the toad will devour itself as soon as its skin falls off.

Therefore, it is necessary to stare at the eyes, as long as the toad sheds its skin, it must be put into the money box immediately, and there can be no delay for a moment.

Several bear children stared around the bamboo sieve with wide eyes, waiting for the toad to shed its skin.

This thing molts all by the two hind legs, and the hind legs must be turned back to the mouth, grabbing the toad and slowly pulling it back. At first it was very slow, and their eyes were sour, but then when they came off to the base of their thighs, they increased suddenly, like peeling sausages, and their paws pulled the skin of their thighs, and the whole piece was taken off.

The skin of the toad is as thin as a cicada's wings and transparent.

It was too late, it was too soon, and Liu Junhao, who was impatient with waiting for a long time, immediately lifted the bamboo sieve, and then snatched the toad's clothes from the toad's paws. Liu Qiyong handed over a cardboard box, which was full of one-and-a-half-cent coins collected by everyone.

They carefully put the toad skin into the cardboard box, and discussed waiting to check it tomorrow.

At that time, several children almost fought over who to put in the carton, mainly because they were afraid that someone would be the first to open it and the money would not fall into their hands. In the end, it was discussed that the carton should be placed in Liu Junhao's house, but each person had to make a mark on it, and then find a big stone to press the carton and wait for the next day to check it together.

They were looking forward to tomorrow, as the adults say, that the carton would be filled with coins. This way you can buy candy, ice cream, pinballs......

Early the next morning, this group of guys gathered in Liu Junhao's courtyard. In the expectant gaze of everyone, he slowly moved away from the big stone, opened the carton and the toad skin was still there, but not a single cent increased.

Thinking that the time was short, everyone decided to continue waiting.

Day 3 & 4...... Until everyone loses patience completely.

Later, after seeing them more often, they realized that it was not uncommon for toads to shed their skin. This thing is very similar to a snake, it has to shed its skin several times a year. However, most of the toads are eaten by themselves after the skin is molted, so it is rare for people to see it.

"Is it really common?" Zhao Guangming still didn't believe that he had discovered something insignificant.

"I don't believe it, you can check it on the Internet yourself," Liu Junhao said, handing over the phone.

"It's really like this" Several people have read the introduction on the Internet and completely believe Liu Junhao's statement.

In fact, to say that their reactions are also normal, with the deterioration of the environment, many things that Xi used to take for granted have become rare in the eyes of people. For example, some time ago, a citizen in the urban area caught an owl, but the people around him did not know him, and finally found an animal expert to identify it, and this matter was also in the newspaper.

Finding that the toad molting can only be fun, a few people turned around on the river beach for a long time, watching the sun set soon, and then Shi Shiran walked home.

When he was about to walk to the door, Zhao Guangming remembered that he had something to look for Liu Junhao, "Xiaohao, the two of you will go to my place tomorrow and want to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the matter," calculating the time, his daughter-in-law's due date is still more than half a month, and now he really doesn't want to run around.

"You help us go fishing for fireheads, don't delay too long, two ......hours at most" Zhao Guangming didn't go to Liujiagou in the morning, but went to the back of the village with a group of buddies to fish for fireheads, but he was busy all morning and didn't catch fireheads.

He knew that Liu Junhao had good fishing skills, and he wanted to call in the afternoon, but he heard that someone had caught a big yellow eel, so he dispelled his thoughts.

"You want me to go to catch a firehead, the firehead is laying eggs at this time, and you can catch it with any hook." Liu Junhao shook his head and said.

"That firehead is a special goblin, we didn't catch it for two days, so we didn't look for you." According to Zhao Guangming's statement, there was an old fire weighing one or twenty catties in the mud pond behind their village. But there are too many aquatic plants around, and this thing is too cunning, only turning around the ditch, and not eating the hook at all. He didn't catch it a few times, so he wanted Liu Junhao to come over and help.

Fishing for fireheads, the most hourly thing, I have to go to the street tomorrow to buy things, and I can go on a trip. Liu Junhao nodded and agreed, but at the end he asked more, "Is the Huotou Nest a green nest, a yellow nest or a black nest, tell you, if it is a green nest and a yellow nest, I won't go." ”

"Don't worry, you know you're going to be exquisite, authentic black nest." Zhao Guangming emphasized.

In late spring and early summer, the fire head will swim to the shallow water before giving birth, bite off the aquatic plants in the hiding place to make a nest, forming a bright water nest with a large bowl mouth, which is called "green nest" at this time. After a period of time, after the fire head lays eggs, the aquatic plants bitten off around it have been dried to a withered yellow, and the fish eggs are like yellow rice dumplings in the bright water with the mouth of the bowl, so it is called "yellow nest". At this time, the broodstock is always cruising around the nest and will never let anything disturb the hatching of the eggs.

In the middle of summer, the fire head seedlings grow about two centimeters, and the color gradually turns black, like a black mist tumbling up and down in the water, and roughly looks like tadpoles. However, tadpoles have large heads and small tails, and fire-headed seedlings are like shuttles, which are called "black nests" at this time.

Whether it is a green nest, a yellow nest or a black nest, there must be two fire heads waiting nearby, not leaving for a moment, as long as the bait hook is handed over, this thing will definitely rush up. Usually the smaller males come forward first, and if they are fished away, the larger female will also show up after a while.

Therefore, during the spawning period, you can catch two at a time. Most of the anglers are particular about it, in order to keep the water flowing for a long time, and rarely fish for green nests and yellow nests. The two fireheads of Liu Junhao's family were caught during the black nest period, but the two times the noise was so big that only one was caught each time.

On the street the next day, Liu Junhao first went to the post office to mail away a few pillowcases ordered by netizens. A few days ago, he was bored and looked at the transaction records of his online store, and in the past few months alone, there have been hundreds of pillowcases shipped, which can be regarded as a relatively large income.

After finishing the business, Liu Junhao called Zhao Guangming. This person was impatient to wait, and when he saw Liu Junhao, he didn't say much, and directly pulled him to the back of the village.

The pond is the same as Zhao Guangming said, the north bank is only thirty or forty centimeters deep, and the bottom of the ditch is covered with aquatic plants.

Under the guidance of Zhao Guangming, Liu Junhao soon saw that there were many broken roots of aquatic plants floating in the shallow water. The contrast between the dry roots and the turquoise color of the surrounding grass is particularly conspicuous. Bubbles are constantly bubbling around the aquatic plants, and if you listen closely, there is a sound of a horn. Many tadpole-like black dots appear and disappear among the aquatic plants, which are black nests.

There is no special preparation for the bait for fishing for the fire head, and a small frog is caught directly by the pond and strung on the hook. Liu Junhao looked at the distance and threw the hook out.

"Throw it in the middle of the fire, you can catch a hairy if you throw the hook so far," a young man muttered beside him.

Liu Junhao turned his head to look at him, ignoring the layman's words. He could now guess why Zhao Guangming and the others had put so much effort into it but didn't catch the fire.

It's basically a group of fish blindly messing around, don't throw the bait into the fire when fishing for a black nest. Because the head of the fire is afraid of injuring the fry, it will only drive it nearby, and rarely bite the hook at all. Only by throwing the bait above or next to the fire will the big fish catch up and bite hard.

After gently throwing the bait outside the fish, he slowly shook the bamboo pole, trying not to let the bait alarm the fish, but to simulate the scene of the fish peeping at the fire.

In an uproar, as he guessed, he saw a dark figure suddenly rise up and swallow the little frog directly in his belly.

"Hurry up, hurry up," several people began to shout again.

Liu Junhao didn't hear their shouts, but gently pulled towards the shore. If the hook is lifted too early, the fire head will easily decouple. If the hook is lifted too late, this thing will drill into the aquatic weeds, and the force is so strong that it can easily break the fishing line.

When the second time the water began to bubble, Liu Junhao suddenly lifted the hook.

Zhao Guangming's goods are purely foolish, how can there be one or twenty catties, and the fire head is only three catties in weight.

"In the end, the master is the master", and the young people were convinced.

They are busy for two days, and they only need twenty minutes, and this is the gap.

Liu Junhao humbly sat in the shade of the tree to rest. I'm going to wait for a while to cool down before catching another firehead. Zhao Guangming made it clear just now that this mud pond is going to raise fish in the autumn, and the bottom must be cleared when the time comes, and the fire head must be caught early. Now that the fire in the water has been alarmed, it will not be hooked again for at least ten minutes.

I accidentally turned my head and found that the mud in the puddle on the other side of the road was very thick, which should be suitable for the survival of yellow eels, and maybe there would be large yellow eels.

This is the knee-jerk reaction brought about by catching the big yellow eel yesterday, and I always want to catch another one.

There was nowhere to put the big yellow eel when it was caught, and it was still lost in the water tank. After a day of adaptation, the big guy probably accepted his fate, and he no longer had the idea of escaping.

Some people came to visit this morning, and reporter Guo also told him to take more photos.

"Xiao Hao, you can look away this time. We just explored this ditch some time ago, and we looked at the whole ditch, and we didn't even catch a yellow eel hair, so it is estimated that the feng shui is not good. ”

"It shouldn't be," Liu Junhao shook his head again and again. The pond looked deeper, the water was clearer, and the ditch was lined with dense reeds. It stands to reason that such a place is very suitable for the survival of yellow eels, how can there be no yellow eels.

Liu Junhao walked around the pond without believing evil, especially under the trunks of the few dead trees by the pond. As a result, Zhao Guangming really didn't lie to him, and he didn't find a single yellow eel hole, not even the mud ditch left by the little yellow eel.

The more this happened, the more strange he felt, and he wanted to find out.

In the end, he simply took off his shoes and wanted to go into the water to see if the eel cave was underwater. After a long period of searching in the mud, there was still no trace.

"Well, let's die. Tell you, there are really yellow eels waiting for you to catch. A young man began to cry again on the shore.

Even in ordinary small ditches, there will be yellow eels. The waters are not small, but there is not even a loach. Just now he paid attention to the swimming fish on the surface of the water, and there were very few small fish and shrimp.

This situation is obviously abnormal, and only a simple-minded guy like Zhao Guangming will be involved in the issue of feng shui.
