Text Chapter 291 Cao Lizi¡¯s trick

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just after lunch, Zhang's old sisters came over to invite her to go to the mountains to play.

    A group of people went up the mountain.  As hosts, Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian naturally planned to accompany them throughout the process.  But Zhang Ma didn't let her go, saying that they were just wandering around and there was no need to go to such trouble.  Even so, the two of them sent them to the foot of the mountain.

    The azaleas on the mountain have been blooming vigorously since the end of March until now, with no signs of fading.  Looking up, you can see many tourists taking photos in the sea of ??flowers.  Liu Junhao turned a blind eye to this situation and naturally had no idea. He just threw the red rabbit on the grass and leaned on the big bluestone to take a nap.

    Zhang Qian was thinking about catching insects for Xiaoyan chicks, so she didn¡¯t pay attention to the surrounding scenery when she went up the mountain, but focused on the grass.  At this time, the "bandit head" locusts have fully grown into adults. If they are slightly disturbed in the grass, they will immediately explode their wings and fly away.  Despite its small size, this thing has super strong jumping ability. It can fly more than ten meters away with a flap of its wings, making it extremely difficult to catch.  Zhang Qian tried her best but failed to catch up with one in the end. It was Wukong who saw his master in embarrassment and ran into the grass to help.  This guy's eyesight lasted for less than five minutes.  I caught two.

    I was panting from exhaustion. When I turned around, I saw my husband lying on a big rock and sleeping in.  She suddenly became depressed, ran over and pushed hard and shouted: "Get up, get up."

    "Why don't you catch it?" Liu Junhao glanced at the expression on his wife's face and knew that the harvest was very small.

    "That grasshopper flies too fast, I can't catch it at all. You can help me catch it later." She said and stuffed the can into her husband's hand.

    "You still don't believe what you're doing is useless. Then you feed the baby birds? Don't worry, the old swallow will definitely not let his children starve." Liu Junhao responded and continued to squint his eyes and fall asleep.  After running in the mountains for a while, I felt hot and dry. Now I was lying on the big bluestone and was blown by the mountain wind. My bones were all crispy and I was too lazy to move.

    "Then get up too. I don't believe it. You can't even touch an 'old pole'." Zhang Qian made up her mind to let her husband become depressed with her.

    "Comrade Zhang Qian, your behavior reminds me of a classic saying on the Internet: 'Iron rods can be ground into needles, wooden rods can only be made into toothpicks. If the material is not right, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.' You are just trying to make a fish out of wood."  Things." Liu Junhao sat up helplessly.

    "What do you mean?" She became even more confused, "You mean there is no 'old pole' on this mountain? Impossible, the grass here is very lush."

    "I'm dizzy. You have been in Liujiagou for almost two years. Haven't you noticed this? It's not that there are no old poles on the mountain, but there are very few. On the contrary, there are many bandits." He had no choice but to describe the matter in detail  Again.

    "It seems to be true. If you don't tell me, I haven't noticed it yet. I said there are so many on the way home from school, but why can't I see them when I go to the mountain?"

    "The reason is very simple. The food of Laodiandan is more focused on stutter grass and sweet wine grass, and other grasses are not suitable for them to survive. And those two grasses are only suitable for growing on the roadside If you want to catch Laodiandan, the riverbank  Do you understand that there are so many on both sides?" He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said.

    Although it sounds simple, few people in rural areas have noticed this situation.  Liu Junhao raised birds when he was a child and was quite familiar with the habitats of various grasshoppers.  Take the "bandit leader" locust as an example. The locust plague that old people often mentioned in the past is this guy.  They really deserve this title. They often eat whatever crops they catch.  After a large swarm of locusts passes by, basically no green grass is left underground, so the damage to crops is considerable.  Just old shoulder poles are not very harmful. Although they have wings, they cannot fly at all.

    "Then let's go to the river embankment to catch grasshoppers?" After hearing his explanation, Zhang Qian immediately became interested again.

    "Don't wait for our mother?" Liu Junhao was too lazy to move and could only find excuses to refuse.

    "I'll just send him a text message. They're just wandering around the nearby mountains, it's okay." Zhang Qian was so determined that she dragged him down the mountain.

    When we arrived at the river embankment, things turned out just as Liu Junhao said. Just after taking a few steps, all the old poles in the stuttering grass were blown out.  Most of them are larvae that are three to four centimeters long. Their horns and wings have not yet fully grown, and they cannot jump at all.  The old pole is the best to feed the birds at this time. It is very tender and can be swallowed directly after stuffing it into the bird's mouth.

    They knew that there were many insects on the river bank, especially the birds. Along the way, they could see magpies and gray magpies jumping in the grass from time to time.

    Liu Junhao really had no interest in catching grasshoppers, so he simply squatted on the ground and studied the sweet wine grass.  The leaves of this grass are very similar to those of stuttering grass. There are several hair-like filaments growing on the stems. You can pull out the stems by pulling hard with your hands.  Put the delicate part at the bottomAs soon as you chew it in your mouth, a sweet taste spreads on your tongue.

    This is the sweet wine grass, which he used to pick and eat when he was a child.

    Seeing that the master was eating with gusto, the monkey squatted on the ground and pulled a few sticks into his mouth.  "Zhizhi" After this guy tasted it, he kept shaking his head as if he liked the taste.

    It¡¯s expression it¡¯s become more and more anthropomorphic after being around people for too long!

    "What are you eating secretly in the back? It tastes so delicious?" Zhang Qian was busy for a while and wanted to talk to her husband.  As a result, I turned around and found that they had already gone on strike and were squatting beside them eating.

    "Come here and take a rest." Liu Junhao patted the soft grass and asked his wife to sit down against him.

    "Why are you like Red Rabbit? Do you eat grass?" Zhang Qian became curious again when she saw clearly what he was chewing.

    "Try it, it tastes very good." Liu Junhao reached out and pulled one and handed it over.

    "This is the first time I know that this grass can also be eaten." After Zhang Qian tasted it, she also felt it was very fresh. The taste was indeed a bit like newly brewed sweet wine.

    "Being careful everywhere is a lesson. There are many things you don't know." Liu Junhao pretended to sigh. He found that he was enjoying this mentality of "destroying" his wife's self-confidence more and more.  Hitting is affection, scolding is love. This may be an expression of love between the couple.

    "You are full of crooked talents. You know some useless things." Zhang Qian retorted.

    There were a lot of grasshoppers on the river bank. It didn¡¯t take long for two people and one monkey to catch most of the cans.  It happened that Red Rabbit had almost finished eating, and they were going to take him home directly.  Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, he saw a fiery red figure emerging from the reeds next to him.

    Caolizithe two of them recognized each other at a glance.  As soon as the guy saw someone walking not far away, he was stunned for a moment and then recognized them, and ran over with a shout of joy.  Immediately afterwards, another one in the reeds heard the call and jumped out.

    The two foxes barked around them for a while, then scurried into the ditch beside the reeds with their tails between their legs.  This ditch is the one in front of Liu Junhao's door. From here, it crosses the gate of the dam and flows into the river.  The gate is open at ordinary times and closed only when floods occur.

    Cao Lizi's movements were quite strange. He sat down by the ditch, elegantly like a gentleman.

    "What are they doing?" Zhang Qian turned to ask her husband.  I found that he also looked curious.

    Cao Lizi was not surprised when he saw the two approaching. Instead, he called out to say hello.

    "Aren't you fishing?" Liu Junhao was stunned when he saw the two guys putting their thick tails into the water and stirring them.  This action was very familiar to him. Isn't it just the posture of the tabby cat when fishing?

    I used to think that fishing with its tail was a unique skill of tabby cats, but now it seems that may not be the case.

    ¡°Hubby, look,¡± Zhang Qian suddenly exclaimed and pointed at Caolizi¡¯s tail stretched out in the water.

    "Thiswater crickets and shrimps, so many?" Liu Junhao looked at the movement in the water with some disbelief.  I saw its big broom-like tail wriggling gently.  From time to time, water crickets and shrimps swim among the pebbles, and then attach themselves to the tail of the grasshopper.

    Water mole crickets are relatively common in large rivers and look very similar to crayfish.  They usually hide in the cracks of rocks or under cobblestones, as long as you stamp your feet on the rocks hard.  Two or three will immediately come out of it.  When this little thing escapes in the water, it uses its tail to swing the water and runs backwards, which is very unique.  It is also very slow and can easily be caught.

    Of course, this method is too slow. When people want to catch water crickets and shrimps, they usually get some chicken blood and pour it in shallow water.  After a while, nearby water mole crickets and shrimps came smelling the smell. At this time, you only need to use a net bag to catch them. Sometimes you can catch half a bucket at a time.

    This thing is boiled in salt water in a pot, and the taste is not ordinary.

    "But what's going on with this fox tail? It has so much magic power?"  The two of them watched the number of water crickets and shrimps increasing, and their doubts accumulated in their hearts.

    Finally one of them suddenly raised its tail out of the water, and with a "crash", the little guys were caught off guard and had no time to escape, so they were all thrown on the shore.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We caught more than a kilogram in one go, and it is really remarkable.

    The guy put his tongue in front of the water stain and carefully picked it. In less than two minutes, all the water crickets and shrimps were in his stomach.

    "I thought our Doudou family was smart enough, but who knew Caolizi wouldn't give in?" On the way home, Zhang Qian could only sigh.

    "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the grass raccoon has been able to survive until now, and it is abnormal to not have two unique skills in catching prey." Liu Junhao understands, otherwise why would people often talk about the Great Fox? He has become a spirit long ago.??

    Entering the courtyard, Zhang Qian couldn¡¯t wait to move the ladder to feed the little swallows.  Those little guys didn't even open their eyes before they heard any movement outside, and immediately started chirping and yelling with their delicate little mouths.  Liu Junhao had gone up the ladder to see them before. These little swallows had not yet grown any down, they were all naked and looked like little meatballs. They had no sense of beauty at all. I don¡¯t know why my wife liked them so much.

    At this time, a foraging swallow happened to fly back, and it was not surprised to see Zhang Qian feeding there. Instead, it stopped at the edge of the nest and screamed at her in a low voice.

    When the monkey saw this situation, he became interested again and wanted to go up to help. However, as soon as he reached the top of the ladder, the old swallow immediately started to peck at it.  Helpless, Zhang Qian had no choice but to drive this guy away.

    "What is Zhang Qian busy withtaking pictures of swallows again?" At this time.  Professor Zhao's voice came from the courtyard.  The old man often comes and goes in the yard, so he naturally knows that she plans to make popular science photos for the students.

    "No, I just caught a lot of grasshoppers from the river embankment in the afternoon and brought them back to feed the swallows" Zhang Qian shook the can and replied.

    ¡°Who did you listen to when you told them to feed them grasshoppers?¡± Professor Zhao was stunned after hearing this.

    "What's wrong? They eat very well" Zhang Qian didn't know what the old man meant by this.  In the past, every time I caught grasshoppers and fed them to the swallows, they would all rush to eat them.

    "Swallows feed on insects, but their food is more inclined to flying insects in the air. For example, mosquitoes and flies. As for grasshoppers they generally don't eat them. Birds don't know anything. You force the grasshoppers to eat.  If you stuff something into their mouths, they will naturally have no choice but to swallow it.¡±

    "No, I thought grasshoppers can be fed to any bird. What should I do? Will they be okay after eating them? Liu Junhao didn't tell me anything when I caught the grasshoppers." Zhang Qian thought about her kind intention.  She immediately became nervous when she did bad things. She didn't want these little lives to die in her hands.

    "Don't worry, it's okay. Swallows don't eat grasshoppers, they're just not good at catching food on the ground." Liu Junhao came out of the house after hearing this. He just checked this from the Internet.  He had raised all kinds of birds in the past, but this little swallow was the only one that the adults paid close attention to and never let him in. Therefore, he really didn¡¯t know what this thing ate.  I thought they were like sparrows and would eat anything.  Who knows, I just checked online and discovered my previous cognitive errors.

    Although swallows are fast birds, their claws are too weak and cannot control the landing point well, so most of their prey is completed while flying.

    "But Mr. Zhao's statement is completely wrong. It's like someone has never eaten abalone, but it doesn't mean he doesn't like it.

    ¡°Where¡¯s your Wukong?¡± After a few small words, Professor Zhao turned around and asked.

    "It was outside just now, what are you doing looking for it?"

    "The little girl was flying a kite and hung it on a branch. She wanted the monkey to help pick it off."

    "You wait Wukong, Wukong" Liu Junhao shouted several times at the top of his lungs, but did not hear the monkey's cry.

    It¡¯s really strange, when did this guy sneak out again.  When I'm not looking for it, it always comes to me and annoys me, but now I'm looking for it and it's gone.

    Unable to find the monkey, he had to go out in person.

    At any rate, the kite was not hung high, so Liu Junhao picked it off without much effort.

    It wasn¡¯t until dinner time in the evening that the monkey appeared in front of people.  After it took the rice bowl, it did not wander around the table as usual, but ran straight into its wooden house.

    "What's wrong with Wukong? He's not angry because he was scolded by me in the afternoon, right?" Usually this guy would make a fuss for a long time after dinner, but it's really abnormal for him to be so honest now.
