    "What a stupid idiot" A large group of people looked at the dense poplar forest with their mouths open, and they were all speechless. This thing was too arrogant, and they were all fooled.

    After a while, Xiaopi ran back dejectedly, probably because he failed to catch up with Cao Lizi. This patch of wormwood was extremely deep and was as tall as a person, so it was easy for Cao Lizi to be chased away.  It seemed that he should not get this windfall, so Liu Junhao didn't care and led Xiaopi back home.  Liu Laosan originally insisted on pulling him to have dinner at his home, but Liu Junhao refused. This small favor was nothing at all, it was all from the village.

    Rural people are honest. They will remember which family you have a lover in. When you are in trouble, they will take the initiative to help without you having to ask for help. Especially during weddings and funerals, basically every family will contribute money and effort.  You move two benches, I'll get some plates, divide three by five, and you'll have everything you need to entertain your guests.

    When he got home, Professor Zhao had already prepared the meal. He returned the river prawns that he had not finished last night to the pot, and then fried two eggplants for the morning dish. Most of the rice porridge was still boiling in the pot.  , is steaming hot.

    Liu Junhao was already hungry after working for a long time. After washing his hands, he filled a large bowl of vegetables, took a steamed bun, squatted in the yard and started eating. The heavy rain last night knocked many dates off the tree, and one fell under the tree.  Blockbusters.

    Professor Zhao also walked to the yard with a bowl in his hand. He looked at the dates all over the ground and said distressedly, "These dates are all red. It's a pity to lose them."

    "It's okay. At this time, all the dates are eaten by insects. Don't look at the red color. You can't eat it at all." Liu Junhao swallowed all the food in his mouth and then said, "There are a lot of dates this year. In previous years, there are more dates."  It¡¯s sparse.¡±

    The jujube tree is growing well this year, and now the jujube branches are bent under the weight of the half-green jujubes.  However, the jujube trees were relatively strong. The storm last night did not break the branches. However, when he came back just now, he saw many poplar branches broken by the wind.

    Seeing the dates falling on the ground, Liu Junhao suddenly remembered a few watermelon seedlings in his backyard. The wind was so strong last night that half of the watermelons were blown away.

    He held the bowl and anxiously ran to the backyard to check.  There is still water everywhere in the backyard, and the peppers and eggplants planted by Professor Zhao are soaking in the water.  Those melon vines were not blown away by the wind as he imagined. Instead, the melon vines looked green due to the moisture of the rain. There were also many water droplets hanging on the watermelons. The watery ones looked like small yellow flowers on the melon vines.  A lot of it was scraped off.

    After eating, Liu Junhao remembered the agreement between Er Mazi and himself, so he told Professor Zhao to go to the village to ask when he would leave.

    Originally it was agreed to be tomorrow, but now it¡¯s raining non-stop. I wonder if Er Mazi has changed his mind. If he hasn¡¯t, he needs to make preparations early so as not to be in a hurry.

    Before he could reach the door, Xiaopi picked up two little birds from nowhere and ran up to him. Liu Junhao picked them up and saw that they were little turtle doves.

    This turtle dove should have just hatched out of its shell, and it hasn¡¯t even opened its eyes yet.  It must have been blown off the tree by the strong wind. It was cold to the touch, and my body was trembling uncontrollably.  It was a miracle that they didn't freeze to death in such a heavy rain.

    This thing is too small to feed at all. Besides, Liu Junhao doesn't have the time to raise two turtledoves now, so he threw the turtledoves in front of Xiaopi and said, "I'll give it to you to eat."

    Who would have thought that Xiaopi sniffed and then moved his nose away. It seems that his mouth has been naughty these days and he doesn't eat raw food at all.

    Professor Zhao, on the other hand, became interested when he saw the two turtle doves with their eyes open, their mouths open and chirping in confusion. He took them from Liu Junhao and said, "Let me raise them."

    ***

    The roads in the village were still full of water. When we walked to Dayantang, we saw a few naughty children in the village gathered around the ditch. Each of them was holding a bamboo pole to catch frogs in the ditch.  These naughty kids were also very skinny. They were only wearing big pants and not even a raincoat, and they were not afraid of catching a cold.

    Frogs are blind and can't see stationary things. They are very easy to catch. You don't need a fishhook at all. Just tie a cotton thread to the bamboo pole and tie a grasshopper to the bottom of the cotton thread. Then you go directly to the place where the frogs are.  Put the cotton thread on the water and dangle it, and frogs will jump up.

    Frogs are very agile and can swallow grasshoppers with just one jump. At this time, as long as you quickly lift the bamboo pole and open the net bag with your other hand, you can trap the frog in it.  This thing is a bit stubborn. It usually bites the prey without letting go, and keeps swallowing it. When it realizes that it has been tricked and then lets go, it has already been caught.

    The water in this ditch is relatively shallow, which is suitable for frogs to survive. I saw densely exposed water in the ditch.There may be hundreds of frogs, all floating on the water, colorful, and many of them have white bellies.

    "How much have you caught?" Liu Junhao walked to Maozi and asked softly.

    The naughty boy turned around and said excitedly: "I have made more than 20 of them. Uncle, if you want it, I will send some to your house later. You can stir-fry it at noon. It will be delicious."

    "No, there's only a little bit of meat in this thing. It's too troublesome to choose. I don't think it's troublesome." Liu Junhao often ate frog meat when he was a child, but he didn't think it was very delicious.

    "Then why don't you eat bird eggs I picked them up in the morning. I picked up forty or fifty in the poplar forest. Many of them fell to the ground and broke. Otherwise, I would pick up more. When cooking, I asked my mother to put the eggs away.  The eggs are boiled in the pot, they are delicious," the furry boy said, grabbing a few gray-brown eggs from the plastic bag.

    The rain and strong wind should be the happiest thing for these kids, because it means they can get a lot of delicious food without any effort.

    Liu Junhao took it and peeled off an egg from an unknown bird and put it in his mouth. It was slightly salty, and it looked like it had been boiled with salt water.

    When he was watching with great interest, suddenly a splash appeared on the water, and the frog croaked. He saw a half-sized cauliflower snake wrapped around the frog, and the frog kept struggling on the water.  Urgent cry.

    "Fight the long worms, fight the long worms!" This group of naughty children suddenly became interested, and one by one they picked up bamboo poles and hit the cauliflower snake. The cauliflower snake was originally tightly wrapped around the frog, but when it saw so many bamboo poles coming, it hurriedly put down the frog.  , turned over and got into the water.

    But the water in the ditch was very shallow, so the cauliflower snake couldn't hide at all. The children's eyes were wide open and they could clearly see the cauliflower snake in the water.

    Although the cauliflower snake can swim very fast in the water, it is actually afraid of water.  Even water snakes here do not live in the water all the time. They will only be in the water when they need to hunt for food or have other needs. Usually, the snakes lie in the grass or wrap around the branches.

    That cauliflower snake probably didn¡¯t look at the almanac when it was hunting. It was unlucky to encounter these naughty children. As soon as it emerged from the water, it saw the bamboo pole coming towards it, so it had to dive again.

    As a result, it was chased wildly by these half-grown children, and finally had to escape into the grass. Xiaopi was about to jump after him, but was called back by Liu Junhao. This cauliflower snake was too small to eat, so it was better to keep it.  It's a way out.

    He watched the frog fishing for a while, then he remembered that he had to do business, so he turned and left. When he arrived at Er Mazi's farmhouse, he saw Dr. Wang chopping branches with an ax, and the branches were broken by the wind.  Either it has been eaten by insects or it is extremely brittle, so it cannot be used as wood. People can only dry it in the sun and burn it on fire. It is very useful when steaming steamed buns. A large branch can steam a pot of steamed buns.

    "Dr. Wang, why haven't you left yet? Isn't today Monday?" Liu Junhao asked strangely.

    "It's difficult to walk on such a rainy mountain road, and our driving skills are not up to par. We probably won't be able to walk today. We can only go when the weather clears." Dr. Wang explained as he picked up the big tea cup and drank two sips of tea.

    "Then the hospital leaders won't tell you?"

    "What can I say? I'm not the only doctor in the hospital. I'll have to find someone else to take the shift at most. I've already called my wife to ask for leave. It'll be fine. I always wanted to stay in the village for a few more days, and this time I got my wish."

    While he was talking, Er Mazi came in from the room and held a box of cigarettes for Liu Junhao to smoke, but he refused.

    ¡°Uncle Guangxi, when should we leave? It¡¯s probably not sunny tomorrow either?¡±

    "Let's wait until the weather clears up and we can catch a car on the road before we leave. I'll call you then"

    At noon, Er Mazi pulled Liu Junhao and refused to let him go. He insisted on letting him eat at his house. He said that last night he lowered a fishing net at the opening of Dayan Pond and caught a dozen carp weighing more than a pound.

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