Chapter 536: The Fire Head Pegs Drill into the Mud
For more than ten days in a row, there are tourists guarding the Baitiao River almost every day to shoot water monsters. That nai xing, even Liu Junhao admired. He has now determined that Liu Wuye must have been dazzled at that time.
Just when this matter was about to fade, news suddenly came that several tourists had photographed the water monster and sent the photos to the eighteenth floor.
When Liu Junhao turned on the computer, he found that the eighteenth floor had been hyped, and the post was directly recommended by the editor to the homepage. In just half an hour, the above reply has exceeded 2,000. This heat is even hotter than the discovery of the Zhenshui Sword some time ago.
Judging from the photo, the fog on the river beach has not yet dissipated, so the picture is blurry.
In addition, those tourists stood on the shore to shoot, and the distance was too far away, and they could only vaguely see two gray shadows floating on the water in the picture.
However, judging by the shape, it should not be a known fish.
There is a text explanation at the bottom of the picture, and several people also heard the sound of sheep crying in the middle of the river at that time, so they followed the sound to find it. Two "monsters" were found swimming in the water, sometimes surfacing and rolling up layers of waves, sometimes sinking to the bottom of the water and disappearing. The whole process lasted more than ten minutes, during which the monster spewed out a column of water more than half a meter high from its head like a whale.
Liu Junhao looked at the photo carefully several times, and it didn't look like a fake.
There are real water monsters...... At this time, his original opinion was shaken, and then he also posted an excited expression of support under the post. I didn't think that this post didn't matter, and many netizens quoted messages and asked him what was in the photo.
"I don't know," Liu Junhao reluctantly typed another sentence.
Well, although I am good at catching fish, I am not an expert in aquatic biology.
There are a lot of inferences from other netizens at the bottom of the post, and some of them say that it must be downstream water pollution, and some aquatic organisms have genetic mutations that have produced new species.
It has also been speculated that the shape of the object may be a Chinese sturgeon or a white-sided dolphin.
White-sided dolphins, this speculation sounds very consistent. Because this animal, known as the "giant panda in the water", has a light gray sè or blue sè on its back, which is very similar to the water monster in the photo.
Soon, someone refuted that it was definitely not a white-sided dolphin. Judging by the historical record. The white-sided dolphin is only found in the middle and lower reaches of the river. The location of the Baitiao River should be in the middle and upper reaches of the small river, and there are two national xing dams in the middle, and it is impossible for the white-sided dolphin to cross the dam and go up. All the way into the Shirojo River. In addition, as early as a few years ago, the journal "Royal Society Bioletterhead" published a report officially announcing the extinction of the white-sided dolphin. Several expeditions by the national expedition team have also confirmed that the number of white-sided dolphins in the wild is zero.
As soon as this reply came out, the white-sided dolphin or Chinese sturgeon immediately fell silent.
However, Liu Junhao refuted below. In fact, this netizen made a geographical mistake. The Baitiao River flows into the Qingpu River, then flows into the Chushui River, and finally flows into the Xiaojiang River at the capital of Chutian Province, which should belong to the middle and lower reaches of the Xiaojiang River. As evidence, he also uploaded the map to the post.
After the geographical overthrow. The theory of white-sided dolphin and Chinese sturgeon has been mentioned again. Because in the historical record, there are also records of the presence of two kinds of organisms.
Throughout the day, everyone's interest was high, and the eighteenth floor was constantly discussed. What, if it is really confirmed that there is a white-sided dolphin, then Liujiagou will definitely be so popular that it will shock the whole world and even the world.
Not surprisingly, at noon, reporter Guo called and said that he wanted to go to Liujiagou for an interview. As the first discoverer of the Water Monster. Liu Wuye was on TV again.
When the news airs. The white-sided dolphin has become a finless porpoise in the mouths of experts. Because of the relatively strong survivability of this thing, it was also a traditional distribution area of the finless porpoise in history. And it's relatively large and squirts water. What's more, the finless porpoise makes a loud breathing sound when it surfaces, sounding a lot like a sheep's cry.
These accounts match those of several witnesses.
Two finless porpoises are seen in the Baitiao River. It is likely that the busy water transport has affected their normal life, and they have to flee as a last resort.
Finally, it is also analyzed. If this thing hadn't wandered, it would have reappeared, such a large size. Every now and then you need to surface for ventilation.
Many netizens on the eighteenth floor scoffed at the expert's analysis, saying that it was likely to be a white-sided dolphin. Liujiagou Mountain has good water and no pollution, which is suitable for the survival of large aquatic organisms.
Liu Junhao looked a little embarrassed, he never thought that Liu Jiagou had such a high status in the hearts of netizens.
In fact, he was also a little stunned when he heard the name "finless porpoise", and for the first time he knew that in addition to the white-sided dolphin, there were other large water beasts in the Tamsui River.
He typed these two words into Du Niang to search, and then opened his eyes wide, the finless porpoise is also known as !
"Worship the Dragon King!!" Liu Junhao immediately remembered a legend he had seen in the Daqingshan Township Chronicles.
It is said that a long time ago, when the Baitiao River rose in late summer and early autumn, people would see a son on the river going up the river, followed by countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the black line was more than a mile long.
Every time the spectacle appears, the people of Daqingshan rush to tell each other and run to the bank of the Baitiao River to watch.
At that time, there was also a dragon king temple at the bend of the water flow in the south of Gaohe Village, and after the child swam to this place, he would stand upright, half of his body was exposed to the water, and worship the statue of the dragon king, and the water column that was several feet high was sprayed into the air during the worship.
According to legend, Zi was the son of the Dragon King, and was later beaten back to his original form and suppressed in Beihai for violating the Heavenly Rules. The end of summer and the beginning of autumn is the birthday of the Dragon King, and the Jade Emperor pardons his son for a one-day holiday, so it rushes back to pay homage at this time.
Later, the Dragon King Temple was washed away by the flood, and the son no longer appeared......
In fact, there are many similar legends in Daqingshan, wild boar jing, crab jing, etc., most of them are because of what so-and-so violated the rules of heaven, which sounds absurd. Liu Junhao won't care when he reads it, and now it seems that it is the same as the Zhenhe Sword. If you peel back the veil of mystery and absurdity, you will find that the legends have a certain historical basis.
Then he posted this legend on the Internet, which can be regarded as providing some material for netizens.
Although this mysterious water monster is not a white-sided dolphin, but a finless porpoise, many tourists are still interested, waiting by the Baitiao River every day to take pictures.
In Liujiagou Primary School, Zhang Qian also organized a lecture on finless porpoises to give children popular science knowledge.
Regarding the finless porpoise, Liu Junhao didn't have much feelings. The main reason is that this thing is huge, and it is estimated that it can eat dozens of catties of fish in one meal, and its stone lock ability is limited, so it can't be raised at all.
Therefore, it is in vain to think about it.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and on Sunday morning, Liu Junhao got up at seven o'clock to cook.
I received a call from Brother Zhang Qian last night. said that he would bring Jianhui and his brothers over today. In addition, Zhang's mother also misses her grandson a little and plans to live in Liujiagou for a few days.
After breakfast, the two of them immediately began to prepare. Actually, there is nothing to prepare. Chicken, duck and fish are all available at home, so you don't have to buy them on the street. At most, clean the house and tidy up the yard.
Just after I was busy, my phone rang.
Liu Junhao thought it was Zhang's mother and they arrived. Only by looking at the number did I know that it was Wang Shengli.
"Xiao Hao, does the black fish drill holes?" The phone was connected, and Wang Shengli shouted at the other end.
"Drill, it's cold now, and they're hibernating. They are usually buried deep in the mud or into the waste holes left by toads and turtles. Liu Junhao replied casually.
The black fish in the other party's mouth is the fire head that Liu Jiagou people often say, and there are two more in their own house.
"We have a big fish pond with a black fish in it, and the owner of the fish pond has caught it several times. When there is water, it can be seen eating other fish inside, but it can't be found when the water is drained. The next year, the water was released, and it turned out that this thing came out again. Tossing for two or three years, the owner of the fish pond has no choice. It was decided to sell the fish pond. I'm going to contract. There is no spectrum in my heart. I want to ask you, how did you get that big black fish? ”
"Simple, dig in the mud, this thing must be hidden in the mud." Liu Junhao opened his mouth to suggest, but he was full of slander in his heart: Fish farming doesn't know how to prevent fire, this person is definitely a layman.
The fire head is a very strong thing. It can adapt to any living conditions.
When it freezes in winter, it can burrow directly into the bottom of the water and mud without eating or moving. It wasn't until the following year that the weather was warmer, even when there was no rain during a long drought. In addition, this thing has a strong jumping ability. If the fire head is not satisfied with the living water, it will take advantage of the rain to rise the water and jump out of the water to move.
When transferring, they take advantage of the wet ground of the cháo and make slow, serpentine movements until they find a new body of water. Many enclosed fish ponds originally did not have fire heads, but after a rainstorm, it was found that there were fire heads in the fish ponds, which is actually the reason.
The fire head is also very capable of escaping, and if they find someone caught with a net, they will plunge their head directly into the mud and let the net slide over their body to escape.
The people of Liujiagou call the snakehead a firehead peg, and it is also because of this. However, this trick is not enough in front of experienced fishermen.
In the past, rural people had very little fertilizer for farming, and most of them used silt as soil fertilizer. Every autumn and winter, the pond will be turned over and the silt will be dug up.
"The bottom is facing the sky, and the fire head is appearing" in the thick silt, and the fire head can often be dug up. The body of this thing is almost cylindrical, like a wooden stake, straight and straight in the mud, and if you are not careful, you will miss it.
However, as long as you are careful, you can still find the abnormality, there is a round hole in the mud pit of the east xi zàng body, and the hole mouth exposes a black fish head, and there are still a few holes left on it for ventilation.
At that time, whenever the village started digging up the mud, we children would flock to the village, barefoot in the cold mud to find a fire. Many times, a dig can find a nest.
In fact, it is not only this thing that drills silt, but other fish like catfish and carp also drill.
The catfish has to grow to more than half a catty before it can be staggered, and its huge head is black and blue and erected upward, like wooden fibers smashed by stones, fluffy and a large mass embedded in the silt. It's easy to recognize, and it's much easier to catch.
As for the carp, it tends to make a nest in the silt of the pond, and the hole it has carved out is larger than the grass sieve used in the countryside, and it burrows into the mud diagonally.
However, this thing does not survive in the silt for too long, it must be ventilated every once in a while, and it will die if it is out of water for too long, and it is not comparable to the head of fire.
Liu Junhao originally didn't have an addiction to catching fish, but when he heard Wang Shengli say it over there, he was a little interested. Thinking about one day to go to the village to see,
Dig a few fire pegs to eat for the New Year.
Once again, I would like to assure you that "A Mouthful of Spring" will definitely be updated, and in fact, the end is not far away. In addition, the new "Post-80s Spiritual Life Record" will be on the new list in a week, and it has not appeared on the homepage until now. I hope you can support a few recommended votes, collect it, and thank you here. (To be continued.) )
