Chapter 510: Catching Bamboo Rats
Chapter 510: Catching Bamboo Rats
Not long after entering the mountain, I saw that the soil by the mountain stream was arched into shallow ditches, and the earthy yellow soil was mixed with the thick white roots of the thatch, and it was not necessary to guess that it was the masterpiece of wild boars. The wild boars in the mountains must have come out last night to find food, and they were digging along the mountain stream until they had their bellies full.
Liu Junhao was not idle in the process of advancing, bending down from time to time to pick mushrooms in the grass. In less than two hours, the plastic bag was already full of bags.
The crowd made their way to their destination, not staying at the outskirts of the mountain for too long.
It was only at twelve o'clock in the afternoon that they stopped near the mountain stream to prepare a pot for lunch.
This is no longer the outer part of the mountain, and if you go further, you will really enter the deep mountain.
"You rest here, I'll go to the water's edge to catch some fish, and let's make fish soup at noon." Liu Junhao stretched and said. There were no pine trees around the stream, only low grasses and shrubs, which seemed to cover nothing, but when the little bark got in, a flock of jays flew out of it.
Farther away was a sparse wild bamboo forest, and he looked at the location, and it was not the one he had picked up in the summer.
"Catch fish, bare hands, I also learn." As soon as Du Bo heard this, he hurriedly followed.
"I'll go too" Another person responded, all wanting to see Liu Junhao's ability to catch fish with his bare hands.
"Study hard" If it weren't for a few people to learn art, Liu Junhao would catch some directly from the stone lock, how could it be so troublesome.
In autumn, the rainfall decreases, and the mountain streams also enter a dry season, and the water flow is much smoother. There happened to be a bend in this place, and there was black silt in many places.
He stood at the water's edge and looked at it a few times, followed his fingers into the mud, and when he pulled it up again, there was already a yellow eel more than thirty centimeters long in his hand.
"Is that okay?" Several people's eyes widened.
"It's not difficult, you can too," Liu Junhao explained with a smile, "If you see these black mud caves, it's the Yellow Eel Cave." Now in this season, the yellow eel is not far from the entrance of the cave, and the index finger can touch the yellow eel by slowly sticking into the hole. Then the index and middle fingers are quickly combined into a plier, and it can be caught by clamping it firmly. Liu Junhao gestured with his hands while explaining. It would be nice if the stream was bigger, and I could also demonstrate to everyone how to catch yellow eels with sound.
It was quite simple to listen to him, and it was only when a few people practiced it that they realized that it was difficult. To catch the yellow eel, you must be quick with your eyes and hands, and if you are a little slower, the yellow eel has already burrowed deep into the silt. They were busy for a long time, and they didn't get anything except the mud on their hands, and Liu Junhao had already caught four yellow eels on his side.
"You come over and see what this left behind?" Luo Haitao pointed to the tower-like mud in the aquatic grass and shouted.
"Oh, this is a loach hole, I'll catch a few more if you want to eat them." Liu Junhao recognized it at a glance. The loaches are immediately hibernating, and they are busy burrowing before the winter, so the holes have this spiral tower-shaped fine mud.
This kind of loach is the best to catch, as long as you take the iron hook and poke it down slowly, and then gently lift it up, you feel an astringent feeling on the hook, that is, the loach is hooked.
Because loaches have to store a lot of fat in their bodies before winter, they are particularly fat, many of them are as thick as thumbs, and they taste very delicious.
Liu Junhao still performs catching loaches with his bare hands, which is slightly different from catching yellow eels, mainly because the yellow eels are long and easy to catch. Catching a loach is different, you have to dig down the thin mud with both hands, and then throw it to the shore, where you can hide from a fat loach. Of course, even if he is he, the success rate is not high, and he can basically catch it once in two times.
After catching a dozen loaches, Liu Junhao continued to walk a few steps downstream and stood still in front of the water and grass.
"What's the fish here?" Looking at other people's actions, it is natural that they are going to catch fish again. "Crucian carp are the majority, and those who fish often say 'fishing crucian carp and fishing edges'. Mainly there are many aquatic plants on the shore, and the young shoots of aquatic plants and the aquatic organisms inside are the main recipes of crucian carp, and aquatic plants can release oxygen for crucian carp to breathe. Liu Junhao explained and squatted down, his arms spread and fell into the water. Then slowly move your hand towards the middle. When the aquatic plants piled up, he suddenly lifted them to the shore, and suddenly a large ball of aquatic plants with the lid of the pot lifted to the shore.
There are not only two long crucian carp in it, but also a lot of small fish and shrimp, which cannot be eaten, and were rethrown into the mountain stream by Liu Junhao.
This method of catching fish is simple, and several people immediately learned it, and they shouted excitedly. But soon it turned into an exclamation, "snake"
I saw a water snake crawl out of the grass in a panic and quickly burrow into the water.
"I forgot to tell you, the aquatic grass is also a place where snakes like to stay." Although it is almost time for snakes to hibernate, they still come out to hunt when the temperature is high. This water snake was too small to eat, so Liu Junhao let it go.
"You clean the fish, let's serve them with mushroom stew. I'll go to the bamboo forest again to see if there's anything else to eat......" Liu Junhao said, pulling out his slingshot, and after entering the mountain for most of the day, he hadn't shown his true majesty.
"I'll see and see with you," Du Bo saw him take out his slingshot and immediately followed.
"Okay, Xiaopi, let's go," Liu Junhao shouted.
Two macular skins immediately jumped up from the ground and obediently followed their master.
Liu Junhao went to the bamboo forest, naturally preparing to hunt a few bamboo rats to fight tooth sacrifices. He had this intention when he learned about the shell earlier, but he was stopped by his daughter-in-law at that time.
As long as there is a bamboo forest on the mountain, the existence of bamboo rats is naturally indispensable, these guys randomly choose a ventilated place to settle down, and then directly hit the hole under the bamboo pole, along the sweet bamboo roots to eat. Therefore, it is very easy to find them, stand in the bamboo forest and take a look, as long as you find a bamboo with withered bamboo leaves, ten bamboo rats have already gnawed off the roots. If you look around, you can see a trail of black dirt, which is where the bamboo rat burrow is located.
The most common way to catch bamboo rats is to dig, and after finding the bamboo rat hole, you must first check whether there is fresh soil at the entrance of the hole. In order to prevent other predators from entering the cave, bamboo rats usually block the hole after they build it, but this seems to Liu Junhao to have a bit of a taste of wanting to cover up. Of course, to see the sealed hole clearly, you have to find a secondary hole nearby, and then judge the direction of the bamboo rat burrow. If you make a mistake in judgment, you will get stuck in a formation, and the new hole will overlap with the old hole, so you have no idea where to start.
By digging a bamboo rat hole, an experienced person can easily judge the size and number of bamboo rats in the hole from the feces left in the hole. The feces of this thing are a bit like capsules, one by one, the big ones are as thick as hemp stalks, and the small ones are as thin as chopsticks. If the size of the feces in the cave varies, it means that there is more than one bamboo rat inside.
"What kind of cave is this?" Du Bo asked curiously taking a few photos.
"Bamboo rat hole, you don't even know this, do you?" Liu Junhao asked casually.
"I've eaten bamboo rats, but I haven't seen them burrow." After taking a few photos, Du Bo excitedly asked, "How to dig?" ”
"Use your hands," Liu Junhao joked with a smile.
"With your hands, okay?" Du Bo thought that he really wanted to dig by hand, and subconsciously began to roll up his sleeves.
"Just kidding, if you dig it, you will know that it is full of bamboo pole roots, and you can't dig it." Liu Junhao shook his head, and then led him out of the cave.
"So how are we going to catch it?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry. From now on, don't be silent and stay light. Liu Junhao waved his hand to stop his words, and then gently patted Xiaopi's head.
The two macular skins immediately understood, and ran towards the bamboo forest on all fours.
Soon, they stopped again and sniffed at a thick bamboo pole.
"This ......" Du Bo was just about to speak, when he saw Liu Junhao's gesture, he immediately swallowed the remaining words.
Liu Junhao picked up a large stone and tiptoed close to the bamboo. Before Du Fei could react, he had already smashed the stone in the middle of the bamboo.
There was a loud bang, and the bamboo swayed back and forth.
"Okay, you can catch bamboo rats" It wasn't until this time that Liu Junhao's voice sounded.
"Where, where is the bamboo rat?" Du Bo looked left and right, but he didn't see it.
"It's right here" Liu Junhao stretched out his finger to point at the bamboo pole, then pulled out a short knife and began to slash at the roots.
At this time, Du Fei was even more confused, and asked puzzledly: "The bamboo rat is hiding in the bamboo, can't it?" ”
"Why can't you" Liu Junhao cut off the bamboo pole with three strikes and five divisions, revealing a fat bamboo rat inside. The guy couldn't stop kicking his calf, but he was killed before he could escape.
Du Bo showed an excited look on his face, and said in a loud voice, "Tell me what's going on." ”
"Simple, bamboo rats usually come out at night to find food. However, it is not absolute, they sometimes burrow into the bamboo stalks during the day and gnaw on them. As long as you hear the clatter sound coming from inside the bamboo, they must be eating. This guy is very greedy, eats without measure, and will drill up along the bamboo until the bamboo can't hold up his body. Therefore, when you hear this sound, as long as you hit the bamboo pole suddenly, you can stun the bamboo rat, and you will naturally be able to catch it. Of course, the bamboo poles pass through their scourge, and after a few days they will dry up and die. Liu Junhao pointed to the long bamboo and explained.
"I see, don't do it when Xiaopi finds the bamboo rat, I'll try too." This was easier said than done, and Du Bo was once again interested.
"No problem, but be careful when you catch it, this thing has sharp teeth, don't let it bite." Liu Junhao agreed.
Someone pointed out, Du Bo did a good job, and soon caught a fat bamboo rat.
Catching three bamboo rats in a row, Liu Junhao shouted back the macular skin. Plus the fish soup is enough for them to eat, and no matter how much they catch, it will be wasted.
"Guys, look what we've caught." Far away, Du Bo shouted.
"Bamboo rats, Daqingshan and bamboo rats." Wang Junfeng also shouted in surprise.
"How did you catch it, it looks like a hole?" Luo Haitao asked.
"Hehe, we caught it empty-handed." Du Bo triumphantly recounted the process of catching bamboo rats, and the other two were amazed.
Immediately a new week, ask for a referral ticket. Actually, I want to say that if I can get on the category recommendation list, I can try to add more.
