Compared with the bitter cold of winter, the turn of spring and summer is enough to invigorate the mountain farmers, the wild flowers and grasses in the fields are luxuriant, and the corners and corners between heaven and earth are full of life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen it comes to the fifth month of the solar calendar, the sunshine is abundant day by day, the rain is slowly abundant, and the small vegetable garden under the rabbit hill alone is an extremely lively big world. In addition to green onions, ginger, garlic, and spicy seeds, eggplants, cucumbers, peanuts, and leeks all grow even more gratifyingly, and the fences on all sides are full of loofahs and lentils...... All kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables should grow in season, under the careful care of the small couple, the flowering of flowers, the hanging fruits of hanging fruits, bees and butterflies overflowing with the fragrance of flowers, compared with the depression of the first two years, Liu Zixuan, who had just started a family, sincerely realized how much satisfaction the land can give people this time.
This morning, Liu Zixuan had nothing to do after eating and entered the vegetable garden again, and when he saw that the neat and tidy vegetable seedlings that were still neat the day before were messed up, Liu Zixuan remembered that the vegetables planted in the field also had their dangers, so he left a heart for the small vegetable garden in the field.
When the sun was setting, it was when the young couple was busy preparing dinner, Liu Zixuan took the bucket to the well to fetch water, and just stepped out of the courtyard gate with one foot, he turned his head and saw a rabbit by the vegetable garden. A hare was jumping around the small vegetable garden in the east, and at a glance, Liu Zixuan expected that it was the culprit of the scourge of the vegetable garden, this guy was probably tired of eating weeds, and was about to burrow into the garden to improve the food. Seeing the hare, Liu Zixuan hurriedly retreated back to the courtyard, hid behind the courtyard wall and looked east. After a while, the rabbit found a gap in the fence and burrowed into the vegetable garden. was blocked by the carob seedlings on the fence, Liu Zixuan put down the bucket in his hand and entered the stove in a few steps. Looking out of the small window on the east wall of the stove room, the view just happened to be the entire vegetable garden.
In the vegetable garden, the hare pricked up its ears and looked around, then lowered its head and gnawed on the vegetable seedlings. Looking at this reckless guy, Liu Zixuan seemed to see a large plate of rabbit meat. Since you have come to die, don't expect me to be soft-hearted! Liu Zixuan smiled secretly in his heart, and whispered to Gu Nanyan beside him: "Add one more dish for dinner!" ”
When Gu Nanyan heard this, she also leaned to the window to look, and after looking at it, she said, "Look how you caught it." ”
"Don't make a noise to startle it." After Liu Zixuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the stove.
He came out of the east wing across the wall with a shotgun, and a bullet was loaded. Seeing Liu Zixuan coming in with a gun, Gu Nanyan covered her ears and hid in the courtyard.
The hare did not perceive the danger of his situation, and continued to chew the leaves intently. Liu Zixuan found a suitable position and slowly stretched the barrel out of the window.
The size and location of the small window in the stove room are just right, and the distance from the target is also just right. It's not every day that you get the opportunity to get a delicious meal and practice your marksmanship. The distance from the muzzle of the gun to the hare was only about twenty meters, and at such a close distance, Liu Zixuan was completely sure that he could hit the target with one shot, and he was full of confidence that he was not even prepared for the second bullet.
When Liu Zixuan was about to shoot, he suddenly saw the hare burrowing into the gap in the vegetable garden and poked into a small head. Liu Zixuan looked at it intently, and it turned out to be a half-big yellow skin.
Seeing this situation, Liu Zixuan was full of surprise, what did that thing come in for? He then released his index finger from the board to see what the ghostly yellow skin wanted to do.
When the hare saw a weasel approaching him, he immediately stopped eating, and after skipping a few dishes to the north, he turned to face the direction of the weasel, and watched the sudden arrival of the uninvited guest alertly. Look at the weasel again, after burrowing into the vegetable garden, it also slowly crawled to the edge of the vegetable bed, learned from the hare to eat the vegetables, and at the same time put on a very leisurely appearance.
Two wild animals appeared in his vegetable garden at the same time, Liu Zixuan's curiosity was immediately aroused, although his muzzle was still on the hare, but he had already given up the plan to shoot. The two wild creatures in front of you are a pair of natural hunters and prey, what will happen between them in this small vegetable garden? Liu Zixuan knew best in his heart that Huangpizi would never eat vegetables, and the reason why it also got into the vegetable garden was that the target must be the rabbit. In the weasel recipe, the hare is undoubtedly a rare meal, but if it is to run faster, the weasel is impossible to catch up with the hare, and in this relatively closed vegetable garden, it is just the right thing to do, and it does not have to rely on fast running to chase the food.
The hare saw the weasel eating vegetables in the distance, and after a moment of silence, the three-petaled mouth began to squirm again. It didn't take long for it to bow its head and eat again, just like when it first entered the garden. While the weasel pretended to eat vegetables, it was slowly approaching the hare's body, and in the process, it even learned to look like a hare, jumping between the vegetable beds, as if dancing some kind of strange dance.
Liu Zixuan could see the gods, and for a moment, even he was puzzled, isn't it a bloodthirsty animal like a weasel, and he also has to eat a few vegetarian meals every once in a while to regulate his stomach? Judging by its every move, it looks like another half-sized rabbit!
As he approached the hare, the weasel kept himself between the hare and the gap in the fence. Slowly, the rabbit took the initiative to approach the weasel. As if seeing through the hare's thoughts, the weasel knew that the other party wanted to escape from the vegetable garden through the gap, so he moved slightly to the side, making way for the rabbit to take a direct route to the gap.
The hare was caught in the trap, and at the moment when it wanted to avoid the weasel and go to the gap in the fence, the weasel one step away kicked the ground with its two hind legs, and its whole body shot straight towards the hare like an arrow off the string. Immediately afterwards, I heard the hare let out a scream of "chirping", like a mouse with its tail clamped.
The weasel succeeded, biting down on the side of the hare's neck. Immediately, two wild animals of similar coats rolled over the edge of the fence on the east side of the garden, and the hares, who were struggling with all their might, kicked up a stream of dirt and threw it up to the fence wall from time to time. The two wild creatures rolled back and forth in the vegetable garden, and it didn't take much effort for blood stains to appear between their bodies, more and more bloodstains, and gradually dyed the surrounding vegetable leaves mottled bright red.
Just as this life-and-death struggle was coming to an end, the unexpected happened again. The big black dog, who had been lying in the yard, heard the hare neighing, and immediately rushed out of the courtyard gate and ran to the edge of the vegetable garden in a few steps. Seeing that the two wild animals in the garden were entangled, the big black dog instinctively became excited, and while roaring loudly, it arched the fence door on the west side of the vegetable garden, and rushed straight towards the two wild animals that were united.
When the weasel saw the big dog rushing over, he immediately let go of his mouth and arched his body towards the big dog, the hair on his shoulders and back rose for a while, and his whole body instantly doubled, looking like a hedgehog that suddenly encountered danger. It screamed and opened its bloody mouth, showing two snow-white canine teeth, and the two fierce lights from its eyes conveyed the inviolable primitive wildness.
Suddenly seeing the strange body of the weasel, the big black dog, which obviously has an advantage in size, actually showed its timidity, it stopped in front of the weasel, just blindly roared loudly but did not dare to rush forward.
After a moment of stalemate, the hare, which was lying between the yellow skin and the big black dog, struggled again, and swam between the two to the northeast corner of the vegetable garden, still churning his body for the last struggle.
After the big black dog roared a few times, it relied on its huge size to force it forward, only to see it rush suddenly, wanting to bite the weasel, but the weasel responded very quickly, and when he saw the big black dog pounce, he only bounced back sensitively, and avoided the black dog's mouth.
Next, Liu Zixuan, who was standing at the window of the stove, saw an incredible scene: he successfully avoided the bite of the big black dog, only to see the weasel kick the ground with his two hind limbs, and the back half of his body was erected in the air, so that it only used its two forelimbs to support the ground, and the whole body stood upside down in front of the big dog.
The weasel suddenly assumed this unusual pose, and the big black dog was momentarily confused, and was so frightened that he took two steps back.
What is this action? Not to mention a dog, even Liu Zixuan was confused. Just in confusion, Gu Nanyan walked behind Liu Zixuan and said, "What's the matter?" What is sunspot called? After speaking, he also looked out of the window, and just saw the yellow skin in front of the big black dog, and he was so frightened that he broke the bowl in his hand.
Hearing Gu Nanyan's voice, the big black dog jumped forward again like crazy, wanting to bite the opponent to death. At this moment, Liu Zixuan saw that between the weasel's two volleyed hind legs, a milky white liquid splattered out from the upper end of the semicircle, and shot impartially on the face door of the big black dog.
Then he heard the big black dog scream, and he turned around sharply and fled out of the garden.
Only then did Liu Zixuan understand that the weasel was actually using that strange posture to spray his own self-defense weapon - stinky glands!
Seeing that the big black dog was defeated, Liu Zixuan quickly left the window, walked out of the courtyard gate in a few steps, and just arrived at the well, he saw the yellow skin through the fence through the gap and into the grass by the stream. In less than a quarter of an hour, the guy not only killed a rabbit, but also repelled a large dog, and finally he himself escaped with one body! Seeing the weasel disappear in the grass, Liu Zixuan hated that he hadn't shot this notorious demon a few minutes ago.
Under the back eaves of the east wing, the big black dog seemed to be knocked out by a stick, and was chasing his tail in circles, his nostrils couldn't help but spew out, and at the same time, he was still whining for help, completely losing the fierceness he had had been a moment ago. When he came to the big black dog, Liu Zixuan was about to squat down to take a closer look, but he was hit by an incomparably strong stench. The stench rushed into his nostrils for a while, and an inexplicable feeling of dizziness accompanied by violent nausea immediately surged into his heart, Liu Zixuan had to stand up and leave the big dog far away.
Until this moment, Liu Zixuan didn't know what kind of pain Kuroko was suffering. After a moment's hesitation, he returned to the courtyard and brought the bucket.
I put a bucket full of water and brought it to Kuroko's side, rinsing it over and over again.
Gu Nanyan saw the embarrassment of the sunspot from the window of the stove, and immediately came out to see, but before she could get closer, she was so smoked by the smell that she covered her nose, and she could only watch Liu Zixuan clean the sunspot from a distance.
I carried a few buckets of water and poured it repeatedly, and the pungent smell around me was slightly relieved. After a while, the big black dog slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that the big black dog's breathing was almost calm, Liu Zixuan took it to the front of the hospital, put pepper under its nose, and sneezed a few times, only to see that there was a trace of brilliance in its eyes, and slowly stood up, shook off the water on its body, and then returned to the courtyard in a gloomy manner, silently bearing the unexpected defeat.
Liu Zixuan saw the weasel's escape method in the face of a strong enemy for the first time, and only then did he know that the weasel was originally upside down spraying its own stinky glands; This time, it was the first time that Liu Zixuan had learned the power of the weasel stinky glands, and the smell was really unbearable. It seems that those rumors about weasels are not completely false, and when I smelled the smell just now, I definitely felt a wave of dizziness for some reason. Legend has it that the stinky glands ejected by weasels contain a special ingredient that can interfere with the nerves of humans and other animals through their sense of smell, causing their opponents who smell it to lose their consciousness and lose their resistance, and in severe cases, they can even cause suffocation or even shock to death. Come to think of it, the folk rumor that the weasel can speak through a human mouth is likely to come from its terrible stinky glands.
Liu Zixuan took out the hare from the corner of the vegetable garden, although he could still feel the residual warmth on it, but unfortunately it was already powerless. When taking care of the hare, Liu Zixuan paid special attention to the bite on its neck, this greedy hare, its trachea and arteries have been bitten, you can imagine how fierce the yellow skin is......
Gu Nanyan brought a large plate of rabbit meat to the table, but Liu Zixuan was so smoked by the smell that he lost his appetite, and after a simple taste of two bites, he picked out a few pieces of good meat and gave them to the big black dog. After resting for a while, Kuroko also recovered seven or eight points of energy, and soon ate a few pieces of rabbit meat. Liu Zixuan saw that it was not affected too much, so he was relieved.
