Chapter 32: The Grass Raccoon Who Played Dead

After more than an hour's effort, crabs, crucian carp and others made a small half bucket, but those fish still rushed upwards with their heads squeezed, as if they were not dying.

As the sky gradually darkened, they were even happier on board, only to hear the sound of "popping, popping" in the water.

Professor Zhao couldn't catch it, and the more he caught it, the more interested he became, like a child, if it wasn't for Liu Junhao's dissuasion, I'm afraid he would have been caught.

Fish eat fresh shrimp to eat jump, most of the bucket of fish they can't eat tonight, the big summer will not be delicious tomorrow, catch so much is a pure waste, it is better to let them swim to the ditch in the yard, and when the water is gone, they can't escape, when they want to eat.

Usually the sun was still hot at five o'clock, but now it is completely dark, and many houses in the village have turned on the electric lights, and from a distance, the pale yellow light is covered with a thin veil by the rain, and there is an indescribable hazy beauty.

The dozen hens in the yard had all gone into the coop early, but the rabbits were still running around in the rain, as if they had not been affected by the weather in the slightest.

Dinner naturally fell, and Professor Zhao sighed vigorously, the countryside is good, you don't need to buy fish, and the fish will be delivered directly to the door.

In fact, this is really nothing, in Liu Junhao's memory, he once caught fish in the hall. One year the rain was even more severe than this time, and the water was almost overflowing into the hall, and a catfish weighing more than half a catty jumped straight into the house without knowing what was going on, and was caught by him effortlessly.

With such a heavy rain, it is estimated that those who go to the fields tomorrow will be able to catch more fish. Every time it rains, there are countless dizzy fish rushing to the field, and as soon as the rain stops, some fish are left in the field before they have time to swim back.

When Liu Junhao was a child, he often went to the field with a group of friends to pick up fish, while the adults followed behind the butt and scolded them, telling them to get out of the field and not spoil the crops.

The main reason is that the soil in the fields that have just rained is relatively loose, and the children do not pay attention to their feet when they enter the fields, and they walk through the fields, and the crops and seedlings do not know how much to destroy, which naturally attracts the scolding of the adults.

For dinner, I first copied a large bowl of river shrimp, and then began to boil fresh crucian carp and crab soup, first peeled off the crab cover completely, then washed the internal organs and gill leaves, pulled off the tips of the legs, cut the crab into several pieces, and added some salt to stew in the basin. After the water boils, pour the crab crucian carp into it, add pepper cumin and other ingredients, simmer for more than half an hour, and the strong aroma will spread out......

Liu Junhao raised his spoon and scooped a little to taste the saltiness, the delicious fresh soup made him take a deep breath, the soup was permeated with a thick crab crucian carp umami, not only containing the slight spicy pepper, but also mixed with the sweetness of fennel, and it was these condiments that removed the fishy smell without a trace.

Although it is not the best season to eat crabs, it is still fragrant at the moment, the crab meat has been boiled and rotten, and the throat is smooth, and it is accompanied by a big bowl of monkey wine, so that Professor Zhao calls this a great enjoyment of life!

Lie down at night and listen to the wind and rain, and the sound of frogs chirping into a dream! When it rains, the frogs are probably the happiest time, and the croaking sound covers the sky and the sun, which is louder than the sound of the rainstorm, and the noisy people can't sleep at all.

In the early morning, Liu Junhao was woken up early by the sound of frogs, and when he saw that the sky was already bright, he turned over and got up. It's still raining outside, but it's much lighter. The water in the yard had dropped considerably, barely covering the turf, but the little hens were cheerful, and one by one they were clucking and fluttering in the rain. At first, Liu Junhao didn't know what they were doing, but when he got closer, he found that the hens were catching river shrimp to eat.

He washed his face, took the teapot to the door of the cage to brush his teeth, and saw that the grass on the dirt road was washed to one side by the water, and there were many river shrimp jumping around in the grass, and there was even a crucian carp sticking to the dirt in the middle of the road, with its mouth open and closed.

When Xiaopi saw it, he immediately ran over and grabbed it, and threw it in front of him as if he was invited.

"Let it have a way out, it is better to build a seventh-level floating slaughter" Liu Junhao picked it up and threw it away, and had already thrown the crucian carp into the ditch on the side of the road.

At this time, Liu Laosan walked from the village with a shovel, greeted him from afar, and asked him to help go to the field to release water, anyway, there was nothing to do, Liu Junhao ran to the house and said to Professor Zhao, and followed Liu Laosan with the shovel.

Along the way, there was a lot of flowing water everywhere, and the fields were even more expansive, and only the high places could distinguish a bit of green, and it could be seen that the rain last night was indeed very heavy.

"God, let the rain stop quickly, the crops in the autumn will be ruined if this continues" At this time, the bud seedlings have just grown, and they have not yet given birth to aerial roots, and their resistance to waterlogging is very poor, and they will be drowned in water for three or four days at most.

Along the way, there was an endless stream of people who went to the fields to release water, and some even went into battle with the whole family, wearing raincoats, umbrellas, and carrying shovels around the fields.

Fortunately, there are many ditches in Liujia, and the head of each house is facing the ditch, so the stagnant water in the field can be easily discharged. However, last night's rain was heavy, and the water in the ditch was full, and it was impossible to drain it at this time, so the whole family took action to dig the road and let the water in the ditch flow towards the river.

The power of the masses was strong, and in a short time several drainage ditches were dug on the road, and the water flowed down the ravines.

Everyone was busy, I don't know who suddenly shouted "rabbit" Everyone raised their heads together, only to see a rabbit's head in the water floating and sinking in the distance.

The rabbit saw that it was not far from the shore, but when he saw that there were many people here, he suddenly turned around and swam away. This rabbit is also supposed to have been a victim of the torrential rain last night, and it is estimated that he was trapped in the river beach overnight.

Xiaopi, who was on the way, also saw the rabbit on the water, and immediately rushed into the water and swam towards the rabbit quickly.

The rabbit felt danger approaching and swam more happily in the water. But no matter how fast it swims, it can't resist the courage of Xiaopi, with the cheering of the people on the shore, Xiaopi is swimming more and more neatly, and the last move captures the rabbit, the people on the shore have applauded, and even Liu Laosan can't stop praising the macular skin is amazing.

When Xiaopi swam towards the shore, everyone found that the "rabbit" in its mouth was a little abnormal, and the fur was red, Liu Junhao felt a little familiar, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is that a grass civet?" ”

Liu Laosan moved the umbrella away, stretched out his head to look into the rain, and exclaimed: "No, your yellow spotted skin actually caught a grass civet, it's too capable." ”

Grass civet is the name of the soil here, that is, people usually call foxes, usually hiding in tree holes or soil holes, this thing is very cunning, even if you put a clamp on it, it is difficult to clamp them. The chicken leg that is often placed on the clip is taken away, and the clip is stunned and does not fall.

But no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't fight humans, and over the years, because of people's capture, the grass civets in the reeds by the river have become very rare, and they can only be seen occasionally in the deep mountains. This grass civet deserved to be unlucky, and it actually ran into Xiaopi.

Xiaopi bit its neck and went straight to Liu Junhao, threw the grass civet to the ground, and then screamed around him.

This civet was about thirty or forty centimeters long, and its dark brownish-red fur was stained with muddy water and became a little dull gray, no wonder people thought of it as a rabbit just now, and now it was lying motionless in the muddy water with its eyes closed.

"Good guy, your dog is really powerful, last time I caught a big turtle, and this time I got a grass civet, I'm afraid this skin is worth three or four hundred yuan, right?"

"Where are there so many, say a hundred dollars more, this skin is too small, it's not enough to count," another person said.

After a group of people discussed it and didn't say why, after putting the water, it was almost time for breakfast, Liu Junhao threw the grass civet on the shovel, carried it on his shoulders and followed everyone towards the village.

When he walked to a large poplar forest, the shovel suddenly loosened, and the grass civet fell to the ground, just when Liu Junhao was about to turn around and pick it up, a surprising situation appeared: I saw the grass civet rushing towards the woods quickly, and disappeared into the artemisia grass in a blink of an eye, and Xiaopi found it and chased after him tightly.

"This grass beaver ......" a large group of people were stunned.

I didn't expect them to let a grass civet play tricks, there were three or four people who touched its fur just now, and none of them saw that the grass civet was pretending to be dead, no wonder when scolding people often said that they were as cunning as a fox, this grass civet was all fine!
