Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    They followed the sound for about ten meters and saw a half-sized wild boar running around in the depression.  One of its hind legs seemed to have been broken while walking on a mountain road. No matter how hard it tried, it just couldn't climb up the one-meter-high boulder.

    As soon as the wild boar saw Er Mazi, it immediately began to grunt and bark, seeming to beg its owner to come down and save it.

    "There is another one. It may have gone into the mountains. Let's ignore this for now and hurry up and look for it." Liu Junhao said, looking at the blurry hoof prints on the ground.

    With the rain getting heavier and heavier, the smell has probably been completely washed away, and Xiaopi may no longer be of use.  As long as it rains on the mountain, countless creeks will form, which can easily wash away the wild boar's hoof prints.

    "Well, let's hurry up." Although Er Mazi found a wild boar, Er Mazi's sense of loss was not as great as it was at first, but that's how people are, if they have hope, they will want to find more.

    But they were soon disappointed, because when they tracked to a mountain stream, the hoof prints completely disappeared.  I don¡¯t know whether the wild boar ran away through the mountain stream or was directly washed away by the flash flood.

    Looking at the turbid stream flowing downward, Er Mazi still refused to give up. He rolled up his trouser legs and wanted to look across the way. Liu Junhao had to ask Professor Zhao to wait here while he accompanied Er Mazi to look for it.

    The two carefully searched the distance of more than 500 meters around the mountain stream several times, but found nothing. It seemed that the wild boar had indeed been washed away by the flash flood.

    So the three people had no choice but to go back and salvage the wild boar soaking in the depression.  Professor Zhao responded from above, and Er Mazi and the two jumped directly into the pit.

    As soon as Liu Junhao jumped in, most of his trousers were wet, and his feet sank deeply into the mud.  Er Mazi was leaning on his back, and when he stepped down, he stepped on a small stone. His foot slipped and he fell down. When he got up, his clothes were covered with mud.

    When the wild boar saw Liu Junhao approaching, it kept grunting and barking a warning. It seemed that it was about to bite him with its mouth open, but was quickly held down by Er Mazi.

    Lifting an object weighing less than 200 kilograms was a piece of cake for the two rural laborers. They shouted one, two, three and carried the wild boar outside. Professor Zhao didn¡¯t even have time to stretch out his hand.

    The next task of driving the pigs was left to Er Mazi. The wild boar was lame and could not run even if it wanted to.

    When he got home, the first thing Liu Junhao did was to cut a large piece of old ginger, then add scallions and brown sugar and cook it in a pot. After cooking for half an hour, he and Professor Zhao drank a large bowl each.  Although Xiaopi was unwilling, Liu Junhao still forcibly pressed his neck and drank a bowl.

    This is a solution for rural people when they get cold. Green onions make people sweat, and brown sugar replenishes blood and dispels cold. When combined with ginger, the effect is very good.

    Soon after the two drank, they were covered in sweat, and the coldness on their bodies was completely gone.

    After Er Mazi got home, he became more and more angry. Finally, he picked up a stick and beat the wild boar. It was not until his wife said: "The wild boar is worthless if it is broken," that he quickly stopped.

    However, Er Mazi firmly disagreed with his wife asking him to go to the street to find a veterinarian.

    Professor Zhao sat in the room for a while, then held an umbrella and went to the backyard to find worms to feed his two turtledoves.  It is raining heavily now, and many insects are hiding. Even if the two old turtle doves go out to look for food in the rain, it is difficult to find them.

    ¡°There are a lot of wild hemp growing in Liu Junhao¡¯s yard, and there are many leaf curlers on the hemp leaves.  This bug is very cunning and rarely crawls around outside.  Most of them spin silk early, wrap themselves in the hemp leaves and eat the flesh of the leaves. They will not switch to another one until the entire hemp leaf is eaten.

    Liu Junhao had nothing to do, so he also went to the backyard to help Professor Zhao catch bugs.  As soon as they got close to Ma Ye, two flower magpies suddenly fluttered into the rain, one of them holding a prawn in his mouth.

    Liu Junhao was already immune to their free-for-all behavior, but Professor Zhao even praised them a few times.

    The stems of the hemp leaves in the backyard are thick and thick, and the leaves are as big as a palm, and the leaf rollers hiding inside are not small. Their light blue bodies are fat and long, most of them are three or four centimeters long.

    They have done a lot of damage to those hemp leaves. Basically, three or four can be caught on each wild hemp plant.  Having just caught a dozen bugs, Professor Zhao even said that enough was enough, and he would keep these for now and wait to catch them later.

    Liu Jun rolled his eyes in amusement, thinking that this place was a leafroller breeding base.

    When he looked at the circle in the corner, he remembered that it was raining so heavily and if water accumulated in it, grass snails like him would suffer.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But theseThe cows were all fine, and they all hid on the wall early to take shelter from the rain.

    Liu Junhao hurriedly squatted down and pulled out the bricks. The soil covering the wall had already been swollen by water, so he easily pulled out a brick underneath. Suddenly, water poured out along the gap.

    "This snail grows very fast. It looks like it will be ready to eat in about ten days." Professor Zhao thought of the delicious food he ate last time and couldn't help but feel salivating in his mouth.

    After struggling for a long time to find a wild boar for Er Mazi¡¯s family, Liu Junhao remembered that he hadn¡¯t had breakfast yet when he mentioned the snails.  When he asked Professor Zhao, it turned out that he hadn't eaten either, and Teacher Wang heard their voices over there and happened to call Professor Zhao to come back for dinner, so Liu Junhao followed him and had a meal.

    Teacher Wang¡¯s breakfast was relatively light. He fried half a bowl of shepherd¡¯s purse. Liu Junhao took a steamed bun and put it between two chopsticks. He immediately said it was delicious.  Teacher Wang specially fried it with sesame oil. It tastes tender and fragrant, and has a unique taste.

    This time is the season for eating shepherd's purse. Whenever Teacher Wang has free time, he will go to the fields beside the ditch with his basket to dig for shepherd's purse. Both of them think it is delicious.

    Nowadays, except for the old people who dig shepherd's purses in the spring, few people eat them in rural areas. Even Liu Junhao has only heard from the older generation that dumplings made with shepherd's purses are delicious.

    It can be said that Professor Zhao's two little turtle doves look the same every day. In just a few days, the turtle doves have grown to the size of a small fist. They are covered with sparse gray and white down, and suddenly they look like they have just left the nest.  little hedgehog.

    When they see people coming, they open their little mouths and chirp non-stop.  Like their parents, these little guys are not afraid of people. Judging from their size, they are probably about to leave the nest.

    Professor Zhao was afraid that his hands would be wet, so he did not feed them directly. Instead, he poured the leaf rollers into the bird's nest and let them peck at them.

    The two little guys immediately started fighting in the nest, and in the end they actually fought each other over a bug, completely ignoring that there were seven or eight fat bugs running out of the nest around them.

    The old turtle dove protecting the nest seemed to be accustomed to their behavior. It just kept a close eye on the remaining leaf rollers and caught them again as soon as they climbed out of the nest.

    Liu Junhao played at Professor Zhao¡¯s house for a while, and the two of them went to his place to play chess to kill time. After playing for less than ten minutes, Maozi came over to report.  But why was this kid's eyes so red? It was obvious that he had just cried.

    "What's wrong? Your dad beats you again. Did you do something wrong this time?" Liu Junhao asked, throwing down the chess pieces.  This naughty kid went to the house to uncover the tiles without being beaten for three days, and his father was so angry that he gritted his teeth every day.

    "I didn't do anything wrong, but my dad was making trouble unreasonably." Maozi wiped his tears and argued.

    "Oh? Then tell me what it is."
