Chapter 534: The Old Turtle's Nest
"It may also be a baby fish, I have seen the data, its total length can reach 1 meter or more, and the heaviest is more than 100 catties ......" and someone made a judgment. Welcome to read The incident of the infested baby fish in the mountain stream near Liujiagou has been broken by netizens on the forum, and many people know about it.
"Impossible, this season, the salamander hibernates early. Besides, they generally stay in mountain streams and are unlikely to live in rivers," and then someone intervened.
Hearing people mention baby fish, Liu Junhao thought of the ones raised in his stone lock. He felt like he wanted to cry now...... Why can't you afford it!
In the past, Liu Junhao checked the information on the Internet, the growth rate of the baby fish is very slow, the newly hatched seedlings can grow three to five centimeters long that year, just six centimeters in the second year, until the fifth year, the body length is only about 40 centimeters, and the weight is about one catty.
In this case, even if the baby fish can be eaten again, Liu Junhao can afford to raise it.
But...... The wishes are beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. He forgot that the above information said that the growth rate of salamander in the wild environment is very different from that of artificial breeding.
As long as there is enough food, the growth rate of the baby fish in the growing season is actually terrifying, and the annual weight gain can reach three to four kilograms. That is to say, you can grow seven or eight pounds a year.
Even if the yellow eel in the stone lock reproduces quickly, it can't withstand so many baby fish. You must know that this thing has a strong ability to withstand hunger, and it will not starve to death if you don't eat for two or three years. But they are also outrageous when they eat food, eating one-fifth of their body weight in one meal.
What's more, the outside world is cold, and there is still no sign of hibernation in the stone locks.
In fact, he had the idea of releasing the baby fish, but it was delayed because of miscellaneous things.
Looking at the baby fish that are growing rapidly, Liu Junhao has already regarded them as trouble. Secretly made up his mind, and when Kaichun warmed up, only a few were left in the stone locks, and all the rest were released. Anyway, this catty two, you can already live in Du Li.
A group of people waited on the river beach for nearly two hours, and the river was still foggy. Nothing was seen.
Everyone speculated, but in the end they didn't say why. The fog is too big, and it is not excluded that this old man is dazzled. Of course, many people think that it is some kind of big fish in their hearts. Just looking at the attitude of the old man, they are embarrassed to say it.
After all, there is a precedent for this kind of thing, and there are many big fish in the weir pond. Didn't the two big fire heads of Liu Junhao's house weigh dozens of pounds swim from the Baitiao River into the weir pond along the underground undercurrent.
It was almost noon. Seeing that there was no result, many tourists turned around and left.
Liu Junhao was worried about the old and the second, and he didn't want to wait any longer, so he said hello to Liu Wuye and left.
As soon as she arrived home, Zhang Qian immediately asked, "Are there really monsters?" "If it weren't for the fact that it was too cold. She had just taken her two children to the riverbank.
"No, it is estimated that Liu Wuye is dazzled." Liu Junhao replied, and reached out to hug the old and second parents.
"You look at the child, and I'll go into the house and get some food for the pheasants. They were all barking outside the yard all morning, annoying. When her husband came back, Zhang Qian finally took a breath. She went into the house to fight two large pumpkins, picked up a kitchen knife and chopped them.
Liu Junhao's family only planted a few pumpkin seedlings on the chun, but there were many wild pumpkin seedlings growing around the hospital. A pumpkin weighs more than a dozen pounds. It's enough for the two of them to eat for a few days. Summer to fruiting flourishes. They took the pumpkin and gave it away. Even so, the autumn harvest was still full of two carts of old pumpkins.
The couple now wants to vomit when they see the pumpkin, so they chop it all up and feed it to the animals in the yard.
Bang Bang Bang ...... Kitchen knife wielding. In a few moments, she chopped up two large pumpkins, and then opened her mouth to call for chickens and ducks.
This kind of farm work, Zhang Qian couldn't imagine it before. Now it's going well.
Hearing the call of the hostess, the chickens and ducks looking for food outside the courtyard rushed into the courtyard one after another. Grab it around the trough.
Zhang Qian watched from the side for a while, turned her head and wanted to go into the house to play on the computer. Just two steps. He stopped again: "Husband, do you see if those pheasants are sick, why don't you eat food?" ”
"Can't it......" Liu Junhao stepped forward when he heard this. His chickens and ducks are often fed with spring water and rarely get sick.
A few pheasants next to the trough were very honest, and the owner did not fly away when he came to him.
Liu Junhao's eyes were quick, he squatted down and grabbed one of them, and he had already caught one of them in his hand. When he saw the mechanism on the pheasant's mouth clearly, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "It must be those bear children who are lacking in morality!" ”
"What's the matter with Liu Changlin?" Of course, Zhang Qian knows which "bear children" her husband is.
"See for yourself" Liu Junhao stretched out his hand and handed over the pheasant.
"Supported by matchsticks, no wonder there is no way to eat......" Seeing the things in the pheasant's mouth, Zhang Qian couldn't help laughing.
"In the morning, when they brought squirrels in, I felt that something was wrong when I had nothing to do with pheasants. These guys haven't done anything good. Liu Junhao struck with both hands and quickly removed the matchsticks from the mouths of the pheasants.
Originally, I thought that the rumors of the water monster were just a flash in the pan and would gradually disappear over time.
But things were unexpected by Liu Junhao, and news came the next day. The two people who found the water monster this time were villagers from Sankeshu Village, and the two of them got up in the morning to collect the rabbit catch wire buckle they had placed last night, and they heard the sound of sheep in the Baitiao River. Like Liu Wuye, they also think whose sheep is lost. When I got closer to the riverbank, I noticed that the sound was coming from the center of the river......
One of them reacted worse than Liu Wuye, and after going back, he had a fever and was now receiving infusion in the hospital.
The rest of the people insisted and found that there were water monsters in the river, and their appearance was similar to what Liu Wuye described.
After receiving this news, the people who had been silent became noisy again.
It's understandable for one person to be dazzled, but all three of them say so...... There may be a water monster in the Baitiao River in Daqingshan.
Many tourists posted online updates on the situation, and many more walked around the river with their cameras in hand.
As for Liu Wuye, he has now organized a search team to take everyone to search along the riverbank.
At the request of everyone, Liu Junhao also became one of the team members, leading the two macular skins to take the lead. In fact, he didn't have hope for the trick of using macular skin to find water monsters, Liu Junhao knew Xiaopi's skills very well, and no smell on land could escape its nose. But in the water, ten percent are blind. It's just that under everyone's ardent anticipation, he can only give it a try.
Not to mention, it really works. At the corner of a river bend, Little Skin suddenly roared.
Looking in the direction of its cry, I saw an old willow tree half-across the river, with many of its twisted roots extending into the river.
There is a hole the size of a basin under the root of the tree, the hole is very hidden, and if you don't look closely, you think that it is a natural crack caused by the river washing the bank for a long time and sweeping away the sediment under the roots.
But if you look closely, you can find some suspicious points, the mud at the entrance of the cave is very smooth, obviously caused by something coming in and out often.
Finding a suspicious situation, Liu Junhao immediately shouted and asked the tourists behind him to follow.
"This cave is really likely to be the hiding place of the water monster, you see how hidden, if it weren't for the yellow spot and the tip of the nose, we wouldn't be able to find the ...... at all" The probe looked at the cave twice, and a tourist took it for granted.
"The entrance to the cave is too small, if this is really a cave of water monsters, the water monsters are estimated to weigh only a dozen catties, not even as good as a big fish, they have already been eaten by the fire, and it is their turn to make waves on the river." Liu Wuye said disapprerovingly, "If you want me to look at it, it is estimated that it is a long worm nest." Xiao Hao, don't waste time on this, keep looking. ”
"Haven't you heard that water snakes still fight this kind of cave?"
Liu Junhao had doubts, and wanted to ask the old man, but when he looked up, he secretly glanced at himself, so he had to suppress the question.
After searching along the coast, I still found no anomalies until Gaohe Village.
Seeing that it was getting dark, they had to withdraw the team again.
When he arrived at Liujiagou and saw that there was no one left and right, Liu Wuye pulled Liu Junhao and explained in a low voice: "Xiao Hao, I told you, don't say it outside, I found out that the cave was an old turtle's nest just now." ”
"Old turtle nest, you said that the one under the willow tree just now was the old turtle nest?" Liu Junhao exclaimed in a low voice. In the early years, people in the village often talked about the old turtle nest in ancient times, and the old turtle hibernate and love to get together to drill holes, and the hiding place is commonly known as the old turtle nest.
As long as you find where they are hiding, you can catch several at a time. In the past, Liu Junhao and his group of half-grown boys had gone to the river beach to search for it, but they didn't find anything.
Because the turtle nest has always been very hidden, only the most experienced fishermen are likely to find it.
"You bear child, what are you doing so loudly?" Liu Wuye hurriedly pulled him.
"I said Fifth Master, how do you know it's an old turtle nest?" Liu Junhao asked curiously, wanting to explore it when no one was around.
"You forgot what I did...... Liu Wuye explained in a low voice: "Before and after the beginning of winter, the old turtles generally have to hibernate, and they like to gather together at this time, so that many old turtles gather together to pick up the nest, and the hole is generally selected in the east-west direction to avoid the wind. When the temperature drops, they burrow in clusters that overlap each other to hibernate. Throughout the wintering season, the head and tail limbs of the old turtle are shrunk in the shell, and they do not eat, move or excrete until the weather is warm. At this time, the old turtle is also the easiest to catch......" Seeing that he was interested, Liu Wuye rarely revealed a few words.
Although Liu Junhao listened to it with relish, he didn't mean to pick up the old turtle's nest. Last year, he caught a lot of old turtles and stocked them in stone locks, and in a year, the old turtles laid eggs and hatched, and they have been breeding inside.
"Of course, there are some precautions for digging the old turtle hole, when these things enter the hole, one by one, generally more than a dozen are piled together, and the top layer of the old turtle usually has poisonous snakes on its back. When digging the old turtle, you should look at the direction of the hole, and start from the bottom one lightly. You can stop by digging five or six, and you must not be greedy, because in the end, it is likely to wake up the poisonous snake, and it will be a big deal if you are bitten. ”
"I'm telling you, don't tell me, if you let the red-eyed people know, they will probably dig it out." (To be continued.) )
