Chapter 238: Something Else

After eating in the morning, Liu Junhao went to the backyard to catch a few catties of yellow eels, and now it is close to the end of the year, and his yellow eels are sold more, and he needs to prepare in advance every day.

"Squeak" had just turned two pages of the book when Goku ran in front of him and jumped and jumped.

This guy had already fed him two sugars in the morning, and now he started asking for it again.

Liu Junhao slapped its head a few times, and then continued to be 100~10,000\ small! Say.

Seeing that the master ignored it, the monkey was very anxious, stretched out his fluffy paws to cover the book, and covered all the words.

Knowing that it was going to be endless, Liu Junhao had to take out a fruit candy and put it in his paws. It may be because the monkey seems smart and clever, he and Zhang Qian both regard this guy as an ignorant child, and in most cases, they have to not make too much trouble, and they all turn a blind eye.

"Squeak...... "The monkey did not leave after receiving the candy, but screamed more eagerly, pulling his sleeve with his paws.

"There's nothing going to happen to this guy, is it?" Liu Junhao had no choice but to stand up.

The monkey screamed and ran towards the backyard aside. Ran back and called the master to follow. I thought it was just a few steps, but I never thought that after the monkey reached the backyard wall, he would climb directly to the wall.

I'm dizzy, the feelings are going to go over the wall, this guy is down. I know that the straight line between two points is the shortest, but it's better to think about whether the master can go up the wall? Now it's cold, he's dressed thickly, and he's much clumsy. Forced gritted his teeth to climb over the courtyard wall, but when he landed, his feet slipped, and he sat on the ground. Fortunately, the walls were covered with white grass, so he didn't fall out of the way.

The monkey saw that his master had come out of the courtyard wall, and ran hurried deeper into the grass.

Behind this courtyard is a large puddle, don't look and. His house is only separated by a wall, but Liu Junhao will not easily move here. Aside from the summer when the fox was stalked, this is the second time. He was very curious now, and he didn't know what Goku had found, and it was worth it to shout and pull himself over.

Isn't it a grass beaver? Think about it quite possible that the students came the other day. When I saw those two guys stealing fish in their yard to eat. Looking at the momentum, it is estimated that the nest has moved back into the puddle. Where did the monkey find the grass beaver live? It seems that no cunning grass civet can fight the monkeys, or how else would their holes be discovered? But even if he found the cave, Liu Junhao didn't plan to do anything, he just wanted to take a look at their nest.

Still leaving? Seeing that he was out of the puddle, Goku still didn't stop. step, but step by step to the side of the high soil bag. This soil bun used to be not low, but a few years ago, people built houses and dug up a lot of soil, and now it is only more than half a meter high. When Old Man Liu was alive, he once opened up a piece of land here to plant, and every year it was just a small harvest. After his death, Liu Junhao was naturally impatient to continue to reclaim Gaogang. So nearly half an acre of land was deserted, and it was overgrown with miscellaneous shrubs and yellow artemisia.

The monkey led the owner to the edge of the artemisia bush before stopping. Then he pointed to the scattered yellow artemisia seeds and yelled.

What the hell do you want me to see. What? Liu Junhao turned his head to look at it for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal in the yellow artemisia bush. But before he could continue to be confused, the monkey had already scratched the leaves of the yellow artemisia on the ground.

Hey, the bean rat hole! Liu Junhao looked at the black hole at the root of the yellow artemisia, and immediately understood, feelings, the monkey found a bean rat hole.

If you don't say anything when you encounter a bean rat, everyone will be punished, and you can get dozens of catties of food by digging their holes. Thinking of this, Liu Junhao turned his head to go back to carry the bucket, but after looking at it carefully, the hole seemed to be very different from the bean rat hole.

Floating soil can generally be seen around the bean rat hole, but the area around this hole is quite clean, and the hole entrance is larger than the bean rat hole, which is particularly smooth.

Isn't it a hedgehog hole? Liu Junhao looked around and became a little puzzled.

To say that there are many animals that make holes here in Liujiagou, and there are also many who like to drill holes. This cave, for example, looks like a hedgehog cave from the outside, but it may also contain hares, water snakes, weasels, and so on.

If you want to do so much, you can dig it up.

He was determined, turned back to the yard and got a shovel. Of course, in order to let Professor Zhao and Mr. Wang have a good time, he deliberately shouted through the courtyard wall. As for the little skin, it is more important to get it, and if it is a hare, it will have to chase after it.

"What did I do at the time, it was a bean rat hole" Professor Zhao thought that he had discovered something unusual, so he hurried over without even playing chess, and who knew that he found a mouse hole. In the autumn, he went up to the mountains to dig mice, and now he can be said to be half an expert in burrowing.

"Take a closer look, old man, if it's a bean rat, will I call you?" Liu Junhao explained with a smile.

"Oh?" Professor Zhao stepped forward to look at it twice, and said, "It's really not like it, Weasel Hole?" ”

"I don't know, I think it's a hedgehog hole, and the weasel hole is smaller than this." This time, Liu Junhao is really not sure.

"It doesn't matter what hole it is, let's dig it up. You need to discuss for a long time, do you think this is the construction of the Three Gorges Dam? Old man Wang saw that the two of them were grinding for a long time, and immediately became impatient, picked up the shovel and dug.

"Yes," Professor Zhao said, swinging his shovel upward.

Liu Junhao originally had the intention of digging up and re-identifying, so naturally he would not object.

"Good fellow, what kind of hole is this, and how did you go sideways?" Professor Zhao dug up a few shovels and noticed that something was wrong. Usually the burrows of animals are fought downward, so how can this one go sideways?

"There must be stones down there," Liu Junhao has experience with. The animals are very skilled in burrowing, and if they feel the obstruction of the roots of a stone or tree, they will definitely get around it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "rattle" from Old Man Wang, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Professor Zhao picked him up.

"It's okay, it really made Xiao Hao's crow's mouth right, such a big stone." Lao Wang picked up the shovel and looked at it, and knocked out a two-finger-long hole on his face.

Well, it's not clear what exactly is in the cave, but a shovel was broken first.

"Wait, stop" Liu Junhao immediately became excited when he saw the bunches of gray-black feathers in the cave, "I know what is in the cave, we can develop this time." ”

"What's that?" The two turned to look at him.

"Mizumi Chicken"

"Really, that's what you said...... Do they hibernate in their burrows in the winter? "There are a lot of chickens in Liujiagou, but this thing is very timid, and when you see people, they either fly away from afar, or they get into the reeds, and you can't see them if you want to see them. Usually they catch fish and shrimp by the river, and they don't come to the village at all. When Liu Junhao first raised yellow eels, he didn't know what was going on, and a group of water seedling chickens came to the door. After being knocked down by them with a chain-ring gun, the thing never appeared again.

If you can find a place where they hibernate now, you will definitely be able to catch a lot of ...... The meat of the chicken seemed to be very fragrant when fried, and for a while, Professor Zhao actually had a little aftertaste.

"Then I'll hurry back and bring the net bag" Thinking of this, he immediately threw away the shovel.

"What are you doing with a net?" Liu Junhao asked puzzled.

"Of course it's catching birds, what if you wake them up and these guys fly away?"

"Hehe, no," Liu Junhao said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you last time, this thing has very poor eyesight in winter, and we can just catch it after digging it up." ”

"Wait a minute," seeing that their discussion was very hot, Old Man Wang hurriedly interrupted the conversation, "Is the water seedling chicken you are talking about a kind of bird?" ”

"Isn't this nonsense, just listen to the name." Professor Zhao replied.

"Wouldn't it, too, birds hibernate?" Lao Wang was a little incredulous.

"Why can't birds hibernate?" Liu Junhao is even stranger than him. Animal hibernation is not a very normal phenomenon, is it worth all the fuss.

"You have to understand that it is impossible for birds to hibernate, only cold-blooded animals do, and some mammals in alpine regions also hibernate according to environmental changes. But unlike birds, if it's too cold, they migrate to avoid the cold. ”

"Is that so...... Does not eating or drinking count as hibernation? Liu Junhao turned his head to look at Professor Zhao, it was the first time he had heard of this theory. Now that I think about it, it seems that unlike the hibernation of frogs and hedgehogs, they will move when they are frightened.

"It should be counted," Professor Zhao could only sloppy. He has a specialization in the art industry, and his old man has no research on the phenomenon of bird hibernation. If it weren't for Lao Wang suddenly mentioning it, he found that he really ignored it.

"Go back and check on the Internet, let's catch the water straw chickens first, I'll weave a rope and wait to tie them." Liu Junhao said and dragged two handfuls of white grass from the side. Although this grass is not as strong as fine hair grass, it can definitely be used to tie up a few birds.

"Purr...... "At this time, there was a strange cry from the cave, which sounded a bit like the sound of people snoring while sleeping.......

"Guano" The old man Wang had sharp eyes, and immediately noticed the changes in the hole, and it seemed that he was not far from the water rice chicken.

"I caught ......" Soon, Old Man Zhao pulled out a hot big bird from the hole. I saw that the gray-brown feathers on the upper body of the bird were the water rice chickens.

When the thing left the warm cavern, it was immediately shivering from the cold, and it screamed incessantly.

"It's really hibernating" Seeing is believing, Lao Wang only believed it at this time.

"And what," Professor Zhao stretched out his hand and grabbed a water rice chicken from inside.

"Anything else?" Lao Wang is a little greedy now, and he doesn't mean to swallow elephants.

"I don't think so, this hole is too narrow to hide much at all." Liu Junhao opened his mouth and said. As a rule of thumb, the burrows where flocks of water rice chickens are found are generally very large.

"I don't know, there should be more, this hole has not ended." Old Man Zhao stretched out his hand, feeling that it was still very deep inside.

"I'll see" Liu Junhao also stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards the cave, but let him feel a few bird feathers.

"There must be more, let's keep digging" After tying up the two water rice chickens, they continued to dig. These two guys are honest enough, they don't struggle much after being caught, and they stay there honestly.

In fact, at this time, as long as you throw a few times with a bamboo pole, you can blast out the water seedling chicken, but Liu Junhao doesn't want to run back for a second time now, so he can simply dig it with a shovel, anyway, this hole is not very deep.

But once again things did not surprise him, and when the fifth water rooster was dug up, all three of them were surprised. The hole was a bottomless pit, and it hadn't come to an end yet, and when I stretched out my hand, it still seemed that it was still not shallow.

Liu Junhao suddenly thought of the interesting story that the old Liu Tou had told before, he said that the water seedling chickens would fight at the entrance of the hole before hibernation, and which one lost in the end would be the first to enter the hole. Don't think it's good to go into the cave first, in fact, it should be a bad luck.

After the first water coot in the hole was identified, the second bird followed closely behind. When it enters the hole, it puts its beak behind the butt of the first bird, and then the other birds follow in, placing their beaks under the butt of the previous bird in turn, and they line up in a string like a sugar gourd.

During hibernation, the stomach and intestines of the chickens continue to digest, and the feces they excrete are food, which the birds behind can eat to satisfy their hunger, while the first bird is starved to death because there is no food.

Liu Junhao used to think that this statement was ridiculous, and when he caught the water poles, he used a bamboo pole to cast them, so naturally he didn't have a chance to witness it. Now I have caught five or six water rice chickens in a row, it seems that it is really like what Lao Liu Tou said.

"Keep digging and see how many birds are hiding inside." The more he dug up, the more excited he became, he didn't expect that there would be something else in an inconspicuous cave.

After going back, reward Wukong with a few more sugars, it can find such a wonderful place, Liu Junhao looked at the monkey who was beside him, and thought secretly in his heart.

One, one...... One more, and in a moment's work, four more were dug out of it.

"How deep is this hole, it's already been dug two or three meters, right?" Old Man Zhao picked up the floating soil next to him and put his hand into the hole.

"Ah, something bites me." Just when the two of them thought they had taken out the water rice rooster again, they saw him hurriedly retract his hand.

"Snakes?" Lao Wang was startled when he saw blood oozing from his fingers.

"Impossible, the snake hibernates early at this time." Liu Junhao looked over and looked at it, and his expression suddenly relaxed. The blood beads were bright red, and they were certainly not poisonous.

"Keep digging and see what the hell is." Professor Zhao saw that there was nothing wrong with his hands, and he buried himself in hard work.

"Hedgehog!!" When they saw the thing at the end of the hole, they were dumbfounded. There was a hedgehog living inside, and it was obvious that Old Man Zhao was pierced when he touched it just now.

This guy is now curled into a thorn ball, and his body is covered with a lot of grass residue, and there is a grass nest under him, and there is a lot of grain next to it. Looking at the layout of this hole, the standard hedgehog hole, it is obvious that those water rails are just a nightstay.

It seems that hedgehogs also eat birds, right? Liu Junhao admired the water seedling chickens a little, they were too stupid and bold, and they dared to drill into a hole if they found it. When the hedgehogs wake up next spring, they will definitely use them as food
