    Khan, if I had known earlier I wouldn¡¯t have asked, everyone already knows.

    ***

    "What on earth is making the fuss?" Professor Zhao stepped forward and asked. He also saw that this "thief" was probably not a human being.

    "I don't know. It came out too slowly. I only saw a shadow running away from the eye of the water channel. It might be a weasel. Xiaopi got into trouble with this thing. I will build a cage tomorrow to keep it.  You can¡¯t catch him, he¡¯s too wild,¡± Liu Junhao said uncertainly. He felt that the black shadow he saw was larger than a weasel.

    There are a lot of weasels in rural areas. They can be found in fields, ravines, and on the edges of villages. Some even openly make their homes in villagers¡¯ houses.  This thing was so rampant that it was somewhat demonized in the eyes of rural people. It became more and more popular, and finally became Wong Tai Sin.

    Weasels are very vengeful. It's okay if you don't offend them, but once you do, it will be a big trouble.  The year before last year, Liu Guangqun from the village was collecting firewood in his yard and found a big weasel in the pile of firewood, so he picked up a stick and chased it.

    The weasel was also clever and escaped deep into the firewood. As a result, the family became restless the next night. The hens were clucking and the yard was noisy. When Liu Guangqun went out to take a look, he saw only seven or eight weasels.  I am dragging the chickens in my chicken coop.

    Several chickens at home were bitten to death in one night, which made Liu Guangqun extremely distressed.  The next day he gritted his teeth and borrowed a few cages from the village and placed them next to the chicken coop, preparing to catch all the weasels in one go. However, these guys were very clever and killed five or six more chickens, but the cages  Not a single one was left behind.

    In the end, he listened to the advice of the old man in the village and picked up a dozen big white geese at his neighbor's house and placed them in the yard to calm down the rampant group of weasels.

    Although the big white goose is usually quite docile, it is also known to be untouchable and very aggressive.  People in rural areas know that they are good housekeepers. When people visit a stranger's house, they don't first ask if you have a dog, but if you have geese.

    Although dogs bark when they see strangers, they usually don¡¯t rush to bite them immediately, and they also listen to their owners.  But the big white goose is different. When it sees a stranger, it will stretch out its neck and peck desperately. If you move slowly, you will get a large bruise on your body.

    Although geese are blind at night like chickens, they are very alert and can sense the slightest disturbance.  And they are relatively large, so they are not afraid of weasels when they see them, and they often strike first. Therefore, weasels are very afraid of them. Weasels do not even dare to set foot in the yard of people who have geese.

    Liu Junhao and the others struggled all night. When they woke up the next day, they both had panda eyes. In the morning, he borrowed a cage from Liu Laosan's house early, and then took Xiaopi to the field to look for mouse holes.

    Mice are also quite cunning animals, especially voles. The law of survival of the fittest in nature has made them particularly capable in the long-term evolution. Even if people encounter them in the field, it is difficult to catch them because they will burrow in after chasing them.  In the cave.

    ??And the mouse hole is a big project, it is countless times more sophisticated than the tunnel in "Tunnel Warfare". It is divided into main hole, side hole and false hole. The holes are connected, which is very convenient for escape.

    Even if you know that there are mice in the hole, you often can't dig them because the side holes are very hidden. As long as they feel danger, they will quickly escape from the side holes. Therefore, experienced people will be careful before digging.  Search the surrounding area carefully and seal all the holes that can be blocked.

    There is a tradition here of digging mouse holes in autumn. Once the autumn harvest is over, men, women and children will carry shovels and wander around the fields looking for mouse holes. At this time, the crops in the fields have been harvested, so digging in the fields is fine.  .

    Digging mouse holes in autumn can be said to have many benefits. At this time, mice have basically finished storing food. The mouse barns are full of food, such as sorghum, corn, soybeans, mung beans, etc., as long as they are available in the fields.  Can be found in their warehouses.  A smaller warehouse can hold about a dozen kilograms of grain, and a larger one can hold dozens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms, which can fill a long insect-skin bag.

    It¡¯s just that the mouse barn is hard to find. Sometimes you dig the entire mouse hole, but you can¡¯t find the mouse barn, and it¡¯s a waste of effort for a long time.

    But Liu Junhao is not here to dig mouse holes today. He plans to fill them with water.  Nowadays, crops are planted in the fields, and there is no way to dig mouse holes. Even if Liu Junhao can dig the ones beside the ditch, Liu Junhao doesn't want to put in the effort, because there is usually no food in the mouse barn at this time, and it is just a matter of catching a few mice.  So much energy.

    On the way, he happened to encounter a few boys catching fish in the ditch. He shouted at the top of his lungs, and these naughty boys immediately ran over to follow the team.

    There are a lot of mouse holes in the wild, and they can just find themI found one on the side of the road. I looked at the surrounding soil and it was very moist. It was a hole that had just been drilled, and there must be a mouse hiding in it.

    The first thing to do when filling a mouse hole is to determine the main hole, and then the group of naughty kids look around, looking for hidden side holes and seal them one by one.  They are all masters at filling mouse holes, so their eyes are very poisonous, and they will not let go of any side holes.

    After wrapping the net bag around the main hole, a group of people took the basin and started watering it. After pouring several basins of water, the mouse hole was filled to the brim. Only a small gray-black head could not live in the hole.  He stretched his head, probably unable to hold his breath.

    Sure enough, as soon as the water stopped, the mouse ran out of the hole quickly and hit the net bag. Liu Junhao put on his gloves and pinched it and threw it into the basket.

    ¡°I caught three mice, two big and one small, in this hole, which was enough to put in the cage at night, so I stopped working and went home, threw the mice into the cage, and waited to catch the weasel at night.

    The cage is a wooden box specially made in rural areas for catching weasels. It is more than one meter long and as wide as a brick. There is a spring arch on the top of the wooden box. A small cage is made at one end to hold the mice, and the other end is  A piece of ground blue brick is hung with twine as the gate of the mechanism. The whole design is quite ingenious, and it is enough to deal with a single weasel.

    In the evening, he put the cage on the wall not far from the waterway eye early in the morning, just waiting for the weasel to take the bait.  In order to let him come in with peace of mind, Liu Junhao even locked Xiaopi in the room.

    But in the middle of the night, Xiaopi started barking again, and even the hens in the chicken coop started clucking.  Liu Junhao heard something was wrong in the voice and hurriedly got up and opened the door.  Xiaopi, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, jumped out.

    This time Liu Junhao finally saw it clearly, but he didn't expect that his estimate was completely wrong. The person who came to steal the chicken turned out to be a raccoon bird, and its fiery red fur disappeared in the eye of the waterway.

    "Did you catch it?" Professor Zhao asked in the room at this time.

    "No, it turns out it's not a weasel, it's a raccoon." Liu Junhao suddenly remembered that the raccoon that Xiaopi caught last time came here. Could it be that it was here for revenge?  Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind.

    Grasshoppers are more vengeful than weasels and are more harmful. When weasels enter a chicken coop, they usually just grab a chicken and run away, but grasshoppers are different. When they get into a chicken coop, they usually bite all the chickens to death.  , in the end only one was taken away, and what's more, they didn't even eat any of the chicks. They killed the chicks and returned empty-handed.

    It is more difficult to deal with, it is extremely fast, small and agile, and ordinary domestic dogs cannot catch it.  What's more, domestic dogs will be brought to the edge of the trap to lure them into the trap.

    Liu Junhao knew that if he didn't catch it, he wouldn't be able to have a peaceful sleep tonight, so he opened the courtyard door so that Xiaopi could go out and catch up.

    No matter how cunning this fox is, he should not be able to defeat Yellow Spot Pi. Xiao Pi is not an ordinary domestic dog, and his speed is no worse than Cao Lizi.

    Sure enough, they waited in the room for almost an hour, and Xiaopi immediately became alarmed and quietly left the main room.  Xiaopi didn't scream wildly when he encountered prey. The last few times he screamed just because he was trapped in the yard and had no way to chase.

    There happened to be a moon tonight, so Liu Junhao could see everything in the yard clearly. The fox was also very clever. As soon as he smelled Xiaopi's scent, he quickly ran to the root of the wall, drilled out the water channel hole, and Xiaopi rushed out.  The courtyard gate chased behind.

    "Good guy, let's see how you escape this time." Liu Junhao was quite confident in Xiaopi.

    But just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he saw another black shadow coming out of the eye of the water channel and tiptoeing towards the chicken coop.

    A plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?  Liu Junhao was stunned for a moment.
