Chapter 33: The Rain Doesn't Stop

"Dog's Grass Beaver ......" A large group of people looked at the dense poplar forest in amazement, and they were a little speechless, this thing is too arrogant, play them all.

After a while, Xiaopi ran back dejectedly, probably did not catch up with the grass civet, this piece of artemisia grass is very deep, there is more than one person high, it is easy to chase the grass civet away. It seems that he can't get this windfall, and Liu Junhao doesn't care about leading Xiaopi to rush home. Liu Laosan originally dragged him to his house for dinner, but Liu Junhao refused, helping this little favor was nothing at all, it was all from the villagers.

Rural people are real, you will remember who has a lover, and when you are in trouble, you don't have to ask, you take the initiative to come to help, especially when weddings and funerals, basically every family will contribute to things, you move two benches, I take a few plates, three down five divided by two, and the things that entertain guests will be settled.

When he returned home, Professor Zhao had already finished the meal, and he returned the river shrimp that he hadn't eaten last night to the pot, and then fried two eggplants, which were used as morning dishes, and most of the pot of rice porridge was boiling in the pot, which was steaming.

Liu Junhao was hungry for a long time after working for a long time, and after washing his hands, he filled a big bowl of vegetables, took a steamed bun, squatted in the yard and started eating, and the heavy rain last night knocked down a lot of dates on the tree, and a large piece fell under the tree.

Professor Zhao also walked to the courtyard with a bowl, looked at the dates all over the ground and said distressedly, "These dates are all red, what a pity it has fallen." ”

"It's okay, it's all insects at this time, don't look red, you can't eat it at all" Liu Junhao swallowed the vegetables in his mouth completely into his stomach before he spoke, "There are a lot of dates this year, and they were sparse in previous years." ”

The growth of the jujube tree this year is good, and now the jujube branches are bent by the half-green jujubes. However, the jujube tree grows relatively strong, and the storm last night did not break the branches, but when he came back just now, he saw that many thick poplar branches with bowl mouths were blown off by the wind.

Seeing the dates falling on the ground, Liu Junhao suddenly remembered a few watermelon seedlings in his backyard, and the wind was so strong last night, don't blow off half the watermelons.

He took the bowl and ran to the backyard to check it out. The backyard is still full of standing water, and the peppers and eggplants that Professor Zhao planted are soaking in the water. The melon seedlings were not blown off by the wind as he imagined, but because of the moisture of the rain, the melon seedlings looked green, and there were a lot of water beads hanging on the watermelons.

After eating, Liu Junhao remembered what Er Mazi had agreed with him, so he explained to Professor Zhao that he went to the village to ask when he would leave.

Originally, it was decided that it would be tomorrow, but now that the rain has been falling, I don't know if Er Mazi has changed his hexagram, if not, he has to make some preparations early, don't be in a hurry when the time comes.

Before he got to the door, Xiaopi didn't know where to pick up two birds that hadn't opened their eyes and ran in front of him, Liu Junhao picked them up and saw that they were little turtledoves.

This turtledove must have just come out of its shell, and its eyes haven't even opened yet. It should have been blown off the tree by the wind, cold to the touch, and the small body couldn't stop shivering. It is a miracle that they did not freeze to death in such heavy rain.

This thing is too small to feed at all, and Liu Junhao doesn't have the leisure to raise two turtledoves now, so he threw the turtledove in front of Xiaopi and said, "Let's eat it for you."

Who knows that Xiaopi sniffed and moved his nose away, it seems that it has been fed with its mouth these days, and it doesn't eat raw food at all.

However, Professor Zhao was interested when he saw the two turtledoves that didn't open their eyes hungry with their small mouths open and chirping, and took it from Liu Junhao and said, "Let me raise it."

The road in the village is still full of stagnant water, and when I walked to the big weir pond, I saw a few bear children in the village gathered around the ditch, each holding a bamboo pole in their hands to catch frogs in the ditch. This group of bear children is also solid, wearing only big pants and not even a raincoat, and they are not afraid of catching a cold.

The frog is a blind thing, you can't see stationary things, it's very easy to fish, you don't need a hook at all, just tie a cotton thread to the bamboo pole, and tie a grasshopper at the end of the cotton line, and then you go directly to the place where there are frogs, put the cotton thread on the water and dangle it, and there are frogs jumping up.

The frog is very agile, and it can swallow the grasshopper into its stomach with a slight jump, and at this time, as long as you quickly lift the bamboo pole and open the net pocket with the other hand, you can put the frog in it. This thing is a bit brainless, and it usually bites its prey and doesn't let go, swallowing it vigorously, and when it understands that it has been fooled, it has been caught.

The water in this ditch is relatively shallow, which is suitable for the survival of frogs, only to see that there are hundreds of frogs with their heads exposed densely in the ditch, and they are all floating on the water surface, with green flowers, and many of them are still with white bellies.

"How much did you catch?" Liu Junhao walked up to the hairy boy and asked softly.

The bear child turned around and said excitedly: "I've got more than 20 of them, uncle, do you want to, I'll send a little to your house later, and I will fry and eat it at noon, it's fragrant." ”

"No, this thing is just a little bit of meat, it's too much trouble to choose, I don't think it's troublesome." Liu Junhao used to eat frog meat when he was a child, but he didn't think it was delicious.

"Then you don't eat birds' eggs...... I got up in the morning and picked up forty or fifty of them in the poplar forest, and many of them fell to the ground and broke, otherwise I picked up more, and asked my mother to put the eggs in the pot and cook them when cooking, which was delicious," said the hairy boy, and grabbed a few gray-brown eggs from the plastic bag.

Rain and wind should be the happiest thing for these furry children, because it means they can get a lot of good food without much effort.

Liu Junhao took it and peeled an egg from an unknown bird and put it in his mouth, which was slightly salty, and it seemed to be boiled with salt water.

He was looking at it with great interest, when suddenly a splash appeared on the surface of the water, and the frog croaked, and saw a half-large cauliflower snake wrapped around the frog, and the frog kept struggling on the surface of the water and making a rapid cry.

"Fight the long worm, fight the long worm!" The group of bear children suddenly became interested, and one by one picked up the bamboo pole and hit the cauliflower snake, which was originally entangled with the frog, but when they saw so many bamboo poles coming, they hurriedly put down the frog and turned over and got into the water.

However, the water in this ditch is very shallow, so the cauliflower snake can't hide its body at all, and the group of children have wide eyes, and they can see the cauliflower snake in the water clearly.

Don't look at the cauliflower snake swimming fast in the water, but in fact it is afraid of water. Even water snakes do not live in the water all the time, they are only in the water when they hunt or other needs, and usually lie in the grass or wrap themselves around the branches.

The cauliflower snake probably didn't look at the yellow calendar when it hunted, and it was bad luck to meet this group of bear children, it just emerged from the water and saw the bamboo pole attacking, so it had to dive again.

As a result, it was chased by this group of half-grown children, and finally had to escape in the grass, Xiaopi was just about to chase it, but was called back by Liu Junhao, this cauliflower snake is too small to eat, it is better to leave it a way to live.

He watched the frog fishing for a while, and then he remembered that he still had to do business, so he turned around and left, and went to the farmhouse of Ermazi, only to see Dr. Wang cutting the branches with an axe, and the branches that were blown off by the wind were either eaten by insects or were particularly brittle, and there was no way to use them as wood.

"Dr. Wang, why haven't you left yet, isn't it Monday?" Liu Junhao asked a little strangely.

"Such a big rainy mountain road is not easy to walk, and our driving skills are not good, it is estimated that we will not be able to walk today, and we can only walk when the weather is clear." Dr. Wang picked up the large teacup and took two sips of tea and explained.

"Then the hospital leader didn't say it?"

"What can I say, I'm not a doctor in the hospital, at most I will find someone to substitute for me, I have already called my daughter-in-law to ask for leave, it's fine. I used to want to stay in the village for a few more days, but this time I got my wish. ”

As he was talking, Er Mazi came in from the house and took a box of cigarettes for Liu Junhao to smoke, but he refused.

"Uncle Guangxi, when will we go, it is estimated that it will not be sunny tomorrow?"

"When the weather is clear, you can catch a car on the road before leaving, and I will call you ...... then."

At noon, Er Mazi pulled Liu Junhao to prevent him from leaving, and insisted that he should eat at his house, saying that he had laid a fishing net at the opening of the big weir pond last night and caught more than a dozen carp weighing more than one catty.

Liu Junhao insisted on going home, but Er Mazi finally saw that he couldn't refuse, so he asked him to take a carp back to eat.
