Chapter 122: Round Bamboo Frog
The ancient Tibetan people are like that, and if you do something for them, they will want to do something for you.
Although Xu Qingge suffered a lot in this Zangluo Mountain Range, the wounds on his body were not scarred at all. This is all thanks to the medicine given by Raba.
"Huh!"
Solang's stone houses are wide but low.
Poor Ba Shihua, its body is too large to squeeze into the house, so it has to be a sentry outside the door.
In order not to let it be lonely, the other pet animals also accompany it outside the house.
As the only A-level on the team, its acuity is also the highest in the team. It soon spotted a group of black and white pet beasts approaching the area.
Although the opponent is only C-level, there are fifteen or sixteen of them, and when they act in groups, this kind of pet herd is even more threatening.
"Chirp!"
In the group of pet beasts, there are naturally pet beasts who have discovered the existence of tyrannical flowers.
Vigilant, they leaned in.
"Chirp!"
"Huh!"
The two sides were tense, and the big battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The people in the inner room heard trivial noises outside and came out of the house. Solang knew what was going on at a glance:
"Well, don't fight."
He looked at Xianglin Hexi and said:
"Persuade your children, these little monkeys are here to help me loosen the soil."
That group of pet beasts is the snow-tailed monkey that Xu Qingge has seen, but it should not be the same as the one he has seen, because there is no pure white individual in this group of monkeys.
"Your child" naturally refers to the tyrant who eats flowers.
"Loose soil?"
Xu Qingge was a little curious, in her eyes, shouldn't loosening soil be done by pet beasts like earthworms?
"Soon you will know how capable these kids are. If it weren't for them, the soil would have frozen to death in the winter, and there would be no way to plant something in time for the following spring.
You stay away, and there is still a lot of movement when the soil is loosened. ”
"Chirp!"
After receiving the promise of the monkey king, the snow-tailed monkeys rushed up to the roof of the stone house, using their tails as shovels to dig through the dirt on the house.
Tubers, flowers, roots, bugs, and everything that could fit into their mouths were gnawed clean.
And the clumps of soil are constantly being thrown around the house.
"Hehe, why don't we go to the bamboo forest first, they seem to be busy."
In the face of Solang's proposal, the three of them naturally had no opinions, and they were also quite interested in the pet beasts they wanted to see.
Under the leadership of Solang, everyone came to a bamboo forest.
"When we were cutting bamboo to make furniture, the axe was chopped, and frogs popped out of the bamboo, and then we didn't know what was going on when Xiaolin came, otherwise we thought that the frog was born from bamboo."
Solang said as he pointed to a bamboo knot with a hole:
"Look here, the water is coming out."
Seeing the wound of the bamboo, Xu Qingge understood:
"This is a worm-based pet beast.
Those relatively large wounds are easy to hoard rainwater, and the Bailongjiang River is relatively turbulent and unable to lay eggs, and the distance of the Tears of Zangluo is too far for frog-type pet beasts.
So they choose to lay their eggs here? ”
Listening to Xu Qingge's answer, Lin Hexi nodded, thinking that it was not difficult to think of this, so she opened her mouth and asked:
"In that case, what do they eat?"
"There must be some organic matter in the bamboo."
Gongsun Yu hurriedly replied, doesn't it mean that she didn't study well if she always asked Xu Qingge to answer.
Xu Qingge knew that Lin Hexi's questions would not be so simple every time, but she really couldn't guess what was there:
"What else could there be but organic matter? Bugs that bite the slub? ”
"Little Scale, you follow this and cut the bamboo joints."
Lin Hexi took out a knife and cut thin marks on the bamboo joints.
Seeing this, the scaly snake swiped its tail along the fine mark, and a notch was cut out of the bamboo.
I just happened to see the raindrops and tadpoles inside, the unhatched eggs, and another kind of frog that was different from the dripping rain frog, the round bamboo frog.
This frog looks round from top to bottom, and because it lives in bamboo, it was named the round bamboo frog by the first pet zoologist to discover it.
The belly of the raindrop tadpole was transparent, and Xu Qingge and Gongsun Yu could naturally see what the raindrop tadpole had eaten.
The color of the tadpole's belly is exactly the same as that of the unhatched eggs next to it.
"Gross." Thinking of this, Xu Qingge felt a burst of happiness, fortunately he didn't eat breakfast.
"Teacher, you won't say that they eat the eggs of their own family." Gongsun Yu had seen slightly more things than Xu Qingge, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"What's all the fuss, this is specially prepared by the round bamboo frog for the dripping tadpoles.
Bamboo frogs can catch insects at night and then pass on their energy in this way, don't you think it's a very touching thing? ”
Lin Hexi grabbed a round bamboo frog and put it on the back of his hand and taught the two of them.
"Originally, we all thought that after the dripping tadpole evolved into a round bamboo frog, if it wanted to come out, it should only use moves to break the bamboo.
But in fact, there is no damage to this bamboo forest except for the bamboo that has just broken open with small scales. ”
Xu Qingge compared the thickness of the round bamboo frog with his hand, and then casually compared the width of the wormhole on a few bamboos. Finding that the size of the round bamboo frog was smaller than the gap in the bamboo, she said:
"The round bamboo frog should be able to pass through the wormholes on most of the bamboo."
"Actually, the difference between the round bamboo frog and the raindrop frog is that it also has a grass system.
The frog's instinct is to let the bamboo grow again, and they control the size of their nest and leave a taste that only the frog can judge.
Depending on how old or new it is, determine if there are other dwellings in the cave. ”
After Lin Hexi finished adding, he put the round bamboo frog back into the nest and put the broken bamboo back.
Under the gaze of the four people, the bamboo cut by the Yanbian snake grew together with the original bamboo, except for some burnt black marks on the outer skin, it was not obvious that it had been cut off.
Seeing that Professor Lin Hexi had finished the course, Solang said:
"Now go back and see what those kids have made of their stone houses."
When the four of them returned to the stone hut where they had started, they saw that the surroundings were already in shambles, not only of dirt, but also of monkey hair left over from the fight between the snow-tailed monkeys.
Seeing that Solang was back, the snow-tailed monkey king "chirped", and the snow-tailed monkeys began to pick up the dirt and throw it on the stone house.
It was inevitable that something like moss would be mixed in, but Solang was not in a hurry, stopped the three of them, and waited for the snow-tailed monkeys to finish throwing dirt before they began to explain to the three.
"The snowtail monkeys are very territorial.
The mountain god of the Five Peaks will drive away individuals who may threaten it, but the monkeys that follow this individual will also walk with it, so there are snowtail monkeys all over the mountain.
The kids didn't have a place to go, so I built this house when I was young, and these snowtail monkeys came twice a year.
Eat those plants in the fall, leave some of them for storage in the winter, and sow new ones after eating them in the spring, so that the activity can be sustained. ”
Xu Qingge boldly asked:
"Grandpa Solang, doesn't that make you feel noisy?"
"Noisy? These kids help us keep an eye on the Gymnastics Bear and the Golden Feather Eagle, so what's the matter with a bit of noise? ”
Solang replied with a smile, the snow-tailed monkeys have formed a symbiotic relationship with the ancient Tibetan people, and no one can live comfortably without them.
Anyway, this chapter is a bit heavy, and if there are many readers who don't like it, I'll reduce the description of this part later
