- After dinner in the morning, Liu Junhao went to the backyard to catch a few kilograms of eels, then sat in the yard and read a book. Now that the New Year is approaching, he is selling more eels and needs to prepare in advance every day.
"Zhizhi" had just turned two pages of the book when Wukong ran in front of him and jumped up and down.
This guy has already fed him two candies in the morning, and now he starts asking for them again.
Liu Junhao patted its head a few times and then continued reading.
Seeing that the owner ignored it, the monkey was very anxious, stretched out its fluffy paws to cover the book, and covered all the words.
Knowing that it would never end its temper, Liu Junhao had no choice but to take out a fruit candy and put it in his paw. Maybe it was because the monkey looked smart. Both he and Zhang Qian regarded this guy as an ignorant child. In most cases, they had no choice but to avoid making too much noise and turn a blind eye.
"Zhizhi" Who knew that the monkey did not leave after receiving the candy, but instead screamed more eagerly and pulled his sleeves with his paws.
"Is there something wrong with this guy?" Liu Junhao had to stand up.
The monkey screamed and ran towards the backyard. As he ran, he turned back and called his owner to follow him. I originally thought it was just a few steps away, but I never thought that when the monkey reached the backyard wall, it jumped up and climbed directly to the top of the wall.
I¡¯m dizzy, feelings have to go over the wall. This guy actually knows that the straight line between two points is the shortest, but at least he should consider whether the master can go over the wall? It's cold now, he's wearing thick clothes, and his body is much clumsy. He gritted his teeth before climbing over the courtyard wall, but when he landed, his feet slipped and he sat down on the ground. Fortunately, there were white grass at the base of the wall, so he didn't fall out.
The monkey saw that its master had left the courtyard wall, and hurriedly ran deeper into the grass.
There is a large puddle behind this courtyard. Even though it is only separated from his own house by a wall, Liu Junhao will not move here easily. Apart from the time I followed the fox here in the summer, this is the second time. He was very curious now, and he didn't know what Wukong had discovered, which was worthy of him shouting to pull him over.
? Could it be Cao Lizi? Thinking about it, it is very possible that when the students came here a few days ago, they saw those two guys stealing fish in their yard. Looking at the momentum, I guess the nest has moved back into the puddle. The monkey discovered Cao Lizi's residence? It seems that no matter how cunning the raccoons are, they can't defeat the monkeys. Otherwise, how would their holes be discovered? But even if he found the cave, Liu Junhao didn't plan to do anything. He just wanted to take a look at their nest.
Still leaving? Seeing that he walked out of the puddle, Wukong still did not stop, but walked step by step to the high earthen bun next to him. This country bumpkin used to be quite tall, but in the past few years people dug up a lot of soil to build houses, and now it is only over half a meter tall. When Old Man Liu was still alive, he once opened up a piece of land here for farming, but every year the crops were wasted and the harvest was poor. After his death, Liu Junhao was naturally impatient and continued to reclaim Gaogang. As a result, nearly half an acre of land was abandoned, covered with miscellaneous shrubs and mugwort.
The monkey led its owner to the edge of the mugwort bush before stopping, and then pointed at the scattered mugwort seeds and shouted.
What do you want me to see? Liu Junhao turned his head and looked around for a long time, but he didn't find anything unusual in the yellow annua bush. But before he could continue to be confused, the monkey had already pulled away the leaves of Artemisia annua on the ground.
Hey, it¡¯s a little mouse hole! When Liu Junhao saw the dark hole at the root of Artemisia annua, he immediately realized that the monkey had discovered a bean hole.
When they met the bean rat, everyone got it, and they could get tens of pounds of food when they dug them out of their holes. Thinking of this, Liu Junhao turned around to go back to carry the bucket, but after taking a closer look, the hole seemed to be very different from the Dou Shuzi hole.
You can usually see floating soil around the Doumouzi hole, but the area around this hole is quite clean, and the hole opening is larger than the Doumouzi hole and looks particularly smooth.
Could it be a hedgehog hole? Liu Junhao looked around and became a little confused.
There are many burrowing animals in Liujiagou, and there are also many who like to drill holes. Take this cave for example. It looks like a hedgehog cave from the outside, but there may also be hares, water snakes, weasels, etc. hidden inside.
Why are you thinking so much? You can just dig it out.
He made up his mind and went back to the yard to get a shovel. Of course, in order to keep Professor Zhao and Mr. Wang busy, he shouted through the courtyard wall. As for Xiaopi, it is even more important to have it on the lead, in case it is a hare, it will have to be chased.
"What was I doing at the time? It was a mouse hole." Professor Zhao thought he had discovered something strange, so he hurried over without even playing chess. Who knew he found a mouse hole. During Qiuli's time, he often went to the mountains to dig out mice, and now he can be said to be half an expert in digging holes.
"No matter how careful you are, old man, if you are like a bean rat, will I call you?""" Liu Junhao explained with a smile.
"Oh?" Professor Zhao stepped forward and took a look, then said, "It really doesn't look like it, a weasel hole?"
"I don't know. I think it's a hedgehog hole. The weasel hole is smaller than this." Liu Junhao was really not sure this time.
"It doesn't matter what kind of hole it is, let's dig it and find out. It will take a long time to discuss. Do you think this is building the Three Gorges Dam?" Mr. Wang saw the two people lingering for a long time and immediately became impatient. He picked up a shovel and started digging.
"That's right," Professor Zhao said, swinging the shovel up.
Liu Junhao originally wanted to dig up and identify it, so naturally he would not object.
"Good guy, what kind of hole is this and why is it walking sideways?" Professor Zhao dug a few shovels and noticed something was wrong. Generally, animal burrows are made downwards, so how could this one go sideways?
"There must be rocks down there." Liu Junhao has experience with this. Animals have very good burrowing skills. As long as they feel the obstruction of rocks and tree roots, they will definitely avoid it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "bang" from Mr. Wang. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Professor Zhao helped him up because of his eye disease.
"It's okay, Xiao Hao's crow mouth was right, such a big stone." Lao Wang picked up the shovel and looked at it, and a two-finger-long cut was made on his face.
It¡¯s better now. We still don¡¯t know what is in the cave, but we broke a shovel first.
"Wait, stop." Liu Junhao immediately became excited when he saw the bunches of gray-black feathers in the cave. "I know what is in the cave. We are more prosperous this time."
"What?" The two turned to look at him.
"Water Cracker"
"Really, this is what you said do they hibernate in caves in winter?" There are a lot of watercrakes in Liujiagou, but this thing is so courageous that it either flies away far away or gets into the reeds. , you can¡¯t find it even if you want to see it. They usually catch fish and shrimps by the river and never come to the village. When Liu Junhao first raised eels, a group of watercrackers came to his door for some unknown reason. After they killed a few of them with chain-ring guns, they never appeared again.
Now that we can find the place where they hibernate, we will definitely be able to catch a lot of them The meat of watercrackers seems to be very fragrant when fried. For a while, Professor Zhao actually had some aftertaste.
"Then I'll go back and get the net bag." Thinking of this, he immediately threw away the shovel.
"What are you doing with the net bag?" Liu Junhao asked in confusion.
"Of course I'm catching birds. What if I disturb them later and these guys fly away?"
¡°Haha, no need,¡± Liu Junhao said with a smile, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you last time, this thing¡¯s eyesight is very poor in winter, we can just catch it after digging it out.¡±
"Wait a minute," Mr. Wang saw that they were talking enthusiastically, and quickly interrupted, "Is the watercrake you are talking about a kind of bird?"
"Isn't this nonsense? You can tell just by listening to the name." Professor Zhao replied.
"No way, birds also hibernate?" Lao Wang was a little unbelievable.
"Why can't birds hibernate?" Liu Junhao was even more surprised than him. It is not a normal phenomenon for animals to hibernate. Is it worth making such a fuss about?
"You have to understand that it is impossible for birds to hibernate. Only cold-blooded animals can hibernate. Some mammals in alpine areas will also hibernate according to environmental changes. But birds are different. If the weather is too cold, they will migrate way to avoid the cold.¡±
"Is that soDoes not eating or drinking count as hibernation?" Liu Junhao turned to look at Professor Zhao. This was the first time he had heard of this theory. Now that I think about it, water rails seem to be different from the hibernation of frogs, hedgehogs, etc. They can still move after being startled.
"We should forget about it." Professor Zhao could only play carelessly. He has a specialization in the field of medicine, but he has not studied the phenomenon of hibernation in birds at all. If Lao Wang hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he found that he had really ignored it.
"Go back and check online again. Let's catch the water rails first, and I'll weave a rope to tie them later." Liu Junhao said, pulling two handfuls of white grass from the side. Although this grass is not as strong as fine hair grass, it can certainly be used to tie up a few birds.
"Snoringgu" At this time, a strange cry came from the cave, which sounded a bit like a person snoring while sleeping.
"Guano" Mr. Wang has sharp eyes and immediately noticed the changes in the cave. It seemed that he was not far from the water rail.
"I caught it" Soon, Mr. Zhao pulled out a big, warm bird from the hole. I saw that the gray-brown feathers on the upper body of the bird were exactly the water rail.
This thing leavesIn the warm cave, he was immediately shivering from the cold, screaming incessantly.
¡°It¡¯s really hibernation.¡± Seeing is believing, Lao Wang only believed it at this time.
¡°There¡¯s more,¡± Professor Zhao stretched out his hand and grabbed another watercrake from inside.
"Is there any more?" Lao Wang is now a little greedy and like a snake swallowing an elephant.
"I don't think so. The hole is too narrow to hide much," Liu Junhao said. According to usual experience, it is found that the caves of water rails are generally very large.
"I don't know, there should be more. The hole is not over yet." Mr. Zhao stretched out his hand and felt that it was still very deep inside.
"Let me see." Liu Junhao also came forward and stretched his hand into the cave, but he pulled out a few bird feathers.
¡°There must be more, let¡¯s keep digging.¡± After tying up the two watercrackers, they continued digging. These two guys were honest enough. They didn't struggle much after being caught and just stayed there.
In fact, at this time, as long as you throw a bamboo pole inward a few times, you can blast out the watercrackers. However, Liu Junhao doesn't want to run back for a second time now, so he simply digs it with a shovel. The hole is not very deep anyway.
But things were beyond his expectation again. When the fifth watercrake was dug out, the three of them were surprised. This hole is simply bottomless, and it's not over yet. I stretched out with my hand, and it seems that it's still not shallow inside.
Liu Junhao suddenly thought of an interesting story that old Liu Tou told before. He said that before hibernating, watercrackers would beat each other at the entrance of the cave, and whoever lost in the end would be the first to enter the hole. Don't think that there are advantages to entering the hole first. In fact, it should be the unlucky one.
After identifying the first watercrake that entered the hole, the second bird followed closely behind. After it enters the hole, it will put its beak behind the butt of the first bird, and then other birds will follow and put their beaks under the first bird's butt in turn, forming a row like wearing candied haws.
During hibernation, the watercrake's intestines and stomach continue to digest, and the feces they excrete are food. The following birds can eat it to satisfy their hunger, while the first bird starves to death because there is no food.
Liu Junhao used to think this statement was ridiculous. In addition, when he caught watercrackers, he always used bamboo poles to throw them, so he naturally had no chance to witness it. Now I have caught five or six watercrackers in a row, and it seems that it is really what Old Liu Tou said.
"Keep digging to see how many birds are hidden inside." Mr. Wang became more and more excited as he dug, but he didn't expect that there was something else going on in an inconspicuous cave.
After returning home, reward Wukong with a few more candies. It turned out that he could discover such a wonderful place. Liu Junhao looked at the monkey playing watercrackers next to him and thought secretly in his heart.
One, oneand another. In a short while, four more were dug out.
"How deep is this hole? It has been dug two or three meters, right?" Mr. Zhao scratched the loose soil next to it and put his hand into the hole.
"Ah, something bit me." Just when they thought they were going to take out the watercracker again, they saw him hurriedly retracting his hand.
"Snake?" Lao Wang was shocked when he saw blood drops on his fingers.
"Impossible, snakes have already hibernated at this time." Liu Junhao's expression suddenly became relaxed. The blood beads were bright red and definitely not poisonous.
"Keep digging for what it is." Professor Zhao saw that there was nothing serious in his hands, so he worked hard again.
"Hedgehog!!" When they saw the thing at the end of the hole, they were all dumbfounded. There was actually a hedgehog living inside, and it was obvious that Mr. Zhao had just touched it before getting pricked.
This guy is now curled up into a ball of thorns, with a lot of grass residue wrapped around his body. There is a grass nest under him, and there is a lot of grain next to it. Looking at the layout of this cave, it¡¯s a standard hedgehog cave. It¡¯s obvious that those watercrackers are just staying overnight.
It seems that hedgehogs also eat birds, right? Liu Junhao admired the water rails a little. They were so stupid and bold that they dared to crawl into any cave they found. When the hedgehogs wake up next spring, they will definitely use them as food.
