Chapter 84: The Egret Lays Eggs
After wiping the gun and doing the accuracy training, Xia Qing began to conduct body reaction speed training. After practicing until half past ten in the evening, Xia Qing washed up on time, said good night to Yang Laodao, who was lying on the special seat in the living room on the first floor, and went to the room in the back right of the second floor, that is, the room in the northwest corner.
Xia Qing's small building is located in the middle of the cultivated area at the foot of the mountain, and through the window of the bedroom on the second floor of the small building that opens to the north, you can see all the farmland, planting areas and springs in the third territory.
Although Luo Pei led people away from Territory 3, the people in Territory 2 were still monitoring her territory, so Xia Qing decided to move to this bedroom to protect the most important resources in her territory at night—springs and crops.
Xia Qing set up more than a dozen simple but imperceptible traps near farmland and springs, where people or large animals pass by, and the sounds of trees and stones will be picked up by advanced evolved ears, and then they can directly kill intruders with guns.
Xia Qing put on the night vision goggles, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual in the territory through the glass window, he just spread out the warm thin quilt when he heard the sound of the sheep boss clattering upstairs.
After the evolution of the sheep animal, the night vision ability is still very weak, in order to facilitate the sheep boss to open the door to the yard, the night light on the first floor has been on.
With this glimmer of light, Boss Yang successfully climbed to the second floor and appeared in front of Xia Qing, squinting at her.
Xia Qing explained thoughtfully, "Boss, didn't I tell you just now? I have to sleep in this house, guarding our water and food. You'll have to sleep on the first floor, guarding our door and yard. ”
The sheep boss stood still, Xia Qing sighed happily and helplessly, "If you have to sleep in the same room with me, come in." ”
Xia Qing spread a bamboo mat on the floor of the bedroom, and a flat straw mat was placed on the bamboo mat, "Sleep, tomorrow we have to remove the rainproof cloth, and we have to clean up the grass." The third rain will arrive in two months at the earliest, and our wheat, mung beans, and potatoes will be harvested within two months. After harvesting, I will eat the grain, and you will eat the seedlings. ”
After Xia Qing finished speaking, he yawned, covered the quilt and closed his eyes.
The sheep boss lay on the straw mat for a while, feeling that this mat was not as comfortable as the one in the living room on the first floor. It stared at Xia Qing unhappily for a while, then stood up and stepped on the wooden floor to go back to the first floor.
Xia Qing, who was lying on the bed, had the corners of his mouth hooked high.
The next day, Xia Qing's body was less painful from being whipped by the dancing potato seedlings, and it no longer affected her normal movements.
After breakfast, Xia Qing turned on the radio and listened to the radio while wandering around killing a large bag full of all kinds of evolutionary pests, still half feeding fish and half feeding snakes.
When the small fry, which has grown to five centimeters long, rush to the surface to grab food, the egret, pacing in the shallow water, quickly latches on to the fry, tilts its neck and swallows it.
Why is there only one egret coming down to eat fish today?
Xia Qing looked at the bird's nest on the metasequoia tree at the water's edge and found another egret squatting in the nest.
This is, laying eggs and starting to hatch eggs?
After eating her fish for so long, it's finally time for the egret to give back to her. Xia Qing is worried about eating eggs, and it is not a day or two.
Are egret eggs edible? Take it back and test it.
Steal? Inexistent.
All the resources in the third territory belong to her, how can she steal her own things.
Xia Qing: Hey, hey.
When he got home, Xia Qing hung a bucket on the micro-tiller and drove to the edge of the farmland. Remove the rainproof cloth on the rainproof shelter and direct the sheep boss to help fold the rainproof cloth and put it in the car body.
Then, Xia Qing took out the insect net and cut it to a suitable size, covered it on the bracket of the rain shelter and fixed it. The base farming radio vigorously promotes this kind of insect-proof, light-transmitting, wind-permeable and moderately shading mulching cultivation technology.
Regarding how the base could promote this technology, Kuang Qingwei of No. 6 asked Qi Fu from No. 5.
Qi Fu gave a positive answer: it was because he bought a large number of insect nets used to paste screen windows in the safety zone, and Zhong Tao took videos and photos of his insect proof vegetable shed after learning about the use, and reported it to the base, and Qi Fu also received some very affordable rewards.
As for what the reward is, Qi Fu doesn't say it, and everyone doesn't ask interestingly.
Xia Qing also tasted the benefits of insect net covering cultivation from vegetable planting, and had long planned to cover all crops for cultivation, so he exchanged a sufficient amount of insect net with Zhong Tao.
Fortunately, she changed it early, and Kuang Qingwei said that the price of the insect net has risen now.
Some time ago, Xia Qing was busy cleaning up the house, and he didn't have time to cover the crops. Now that the rain shelter has been erected, it is time to remove the rain cloth and replace it with an insect net.
After changing to an insect net, she was stopped from all kinds of insects outside the net, and she and the bird helpers removed them.
Now there are many birds in Xia Qing's territory, such as big magpies, crows, sparrows, chickadees, and red-billed blue magpies.
Only the egret that steals fish to eat, not the beneficial bird.
It took Xia Qing a day to remove the rainproof cloth and replace it with an insect-proof net, and after being busy, of course, she had to eat something good to treat herself.
Xia Qing carried more than a dozen live snakes caught today, slipped to the edge of the reservoir, and found that two egrets were actually squatting in the nest to make love.
Damn, the hard-working self and the sheep boss are single, these two thieves and birds actually show affection in pairs, and they must be taught.
After teaching the egrets another reason, Xia Qing first drove home the micro-tiller loaded with rainproof cloths, detected edible snakes stuffed into the snake breeding box, and stuffed the snakes with some evolved insects for food. After the black egret's eyesight deteriorated, he returned to the metasequoia forest, and avoided the egret's sight to take out the snake in the bag and throw it near the egret's nest.
The egret has poor eyesight and hunts during the day. Most snakes hunt in the morning and at night, and when the egret and the snake fight, she can go out and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Xia Qing squatted in the corner and quickly waited for the egret and the snake to fight. After the two egrets flew away from the nest, Xia Qing quickly crawled over and found that there were indeed five pale cyan eggs in the nest.
Xia Qing only grabbed it and stuffed it into her bag, and when she fled the scene of the crime, she heard the sound of the egret's wings flapping. She immediately took out a fierce evolution snake more than one meter long and pressed it to the side of the bird's nest, shouting, "Egret, come back quickly, there is a snake stealing eggs!" ”
The egret that landed on the nest protected the eggs and pecked the evolved snake with its long golden beak.
With a "tuk", the snake's head and trunk were pecked through.
I didn't expect the egret, which wanders around the water's edge every day like a yuppie and steals fish, has such a strong fighting force. It's no wonder that when they came, they became the boss of the birds in their territory.
Xia Qing helped the egret destroy the remaining evolved snakes before returning home with the loot.
