    Chapter 480: Mouse eats walnuts

    This meeting was short and ended in just half an hour.  Liu Junhao went out and planned to go to the weir pond to find Zhang Qian and the others, but found that she and Suna Na were standing behind Liu Guangju's house looking at the mulberry tree, while Zhou Wei was busy picking mulberries from the tree.

    These mulberry trees are late-maturing. Now the mulberries have just turned red. Liu Junhao walked over and tasted one, which made his teeth sore.

    Sunana picked up a lot of them and was eating them with gusto.  Zhang Qian wanted to eat them, but Zhang's mother had just said the day before yesterday that pregnant women could not eat mulberries, so she could only covet them.

    Seeing that it was still early, Liu Junhao took them to the river beach to see the scenery.

    Now there is a sea of ??flowers along both sides of the river, with colorful and diverse wildflowers blooming everywhere.  Suna Na kept taking pictures of the flowers with her camera, while Zhang Qian turned her attention to the butterflies in the flowers.

    "Zhang Qian, what's the name of this flower?" After taking a few photos, Sunana found a very strange little red flower and hurriedly pulled one over to ask.

    "I don't know either, just ask my husband." Zhang Qian took a look and realized that she didn't know him at all.

    "This grass is called lantern barley, also called pitcher plant. It can eat insects." This kind of grass blooms a bit like a small lantern, with a few petals around it.  When the flowers bloom, they emit a scent that is difficult for people to smell.  This smell can induce small insects to fly down. If an insect accidentally falls into the heart of the flower, it will be destroyed.  No matter how hard the bug tries, it is difficult to crawl out.  When exhausted, the petals will automatically close and slowly "eat" the unlucky little insect.

    Lantern barley generally grows in crop fields and is rarely seen along ditches.  My daughter-in-law has been in Liujiagou for three years, and her visits to the fields are limited, so it is normal for her not to know her.

    "This is" Several people looked at the small plant with curiosity.  To say that this grass is quite famous, basically everyone knows about it.

    "I knew you had to admit your mistake. Don't get me wrong. This is completely different from the 'nepenthes' sold in the city." Liu Junhao explained with a smile.  He had confused the two plants earlier, but after checking on the Internet, he realized that they were not the same plant at all.  Later, I wanted to look up the scientific name of lantern barley, and after typing in these three words, the result was a weedy sour bun commonly found in Liujiagou, which did not match this plant at all.

    "Well, I wonder how effective it is in catching mosquitoes" Zhang Qian immediately thought of cultivating this kind of plant to sell, but then gave up the idea.  The main reason is that this grass is too common, and even the flowers bloom a little. Judging from the appearance alone, few people buy it.

    "I don't know about that," Liu Junhao shook his head and replied. He would not deliberately get a few grasses back for experiments.

    "We can go back and try it. If it works, we can plant more varieties next year so that there will be no mosquitoes in the yard." Zhang Qian suggested.

    "Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Liu Junhao's eyes lit up when he heard what his wife said.  I have always treated this thing as a weed, but ended up falling into inertia thinking and never thought of recycling it.

    It was cool on the river beach in the afternoon, and a few people had no intention of going back, so they turned around and sat under the trees to enjoy the cool air.

    In the puddle under the shade of the willow tree, there were many small white fish, flower loach, calabash fish and other small fish that could not be named. Suna Na got interested and squatted next to them with her bare hands to catch the fish.

    Zhou Wei kept uncovering rocks in the water and catching water crickets and shrimps from below.  This thing is similar to crayfish, which is now rare.  They usually hide in groups of three or five under rocks and gently move pebbles away, rarely missing.  When water mole crickets escape in the water, they use their tails to paddle backwards, making them very easy to catch.  But be careful with its clip, it will hurt even if you pinch it.  Put a little salt in the pot and cook it. It tastes good.

    Liu Junhao used to catch them often, but now he is not interested.

    Zhou Wei¡¯s catching method is too slow. When they were children and caught water crickets and shrimps, they usually poured some chicken blood into the shallow water.  Within five minutes, nearby water crickets and shrimps came smelling the smell.  At this time, just use a net bag to catch it, and you can catch half a bucket at a time.

    "But they just wanted to have fun, and Liu Junhao didn't make any suggestions.

    It was past seven o'clock and the sun was about to set, so Zhang Qian suggested that everyone go home.

    At this time, a few sunset glows had already risen in the western sky, and a few cattle herders also drove the cattle down from the mountain.  The old scalper shook his head and jingled his bell as he walked.  Sheep enter the pen, chickens and ducks enter the nest, and smoke rises in the sunset.

    In the grass, there are frogs singing and lotus flowers sending fragrance.

    Sunana sat under the door of the building, stretched and sighed, "The more I look at your life, the more enviable it is. It's like a fairy. I don't even want to go to work when I live here." The more times she went to Liujiagou,  The more Zhang Qian felt comfortable, the more comfortable she felt.  It is better to live in the countryside, where life is simple and there are not so many intrigues.  You can live your own life behind closed doors, no matter how you live.

    "Haha, if you feel good, you can stay a few more days."Zhang Qian said something and threw a walnut to the mouse not far away.

    It has been five or six months since the birth of this litter of clouded leopards, but the female clouded leopard still shows no sign of leaving. She takes her children to the mountains and forests to hunt for food every day and learn hunting skills.

    At first, they were just on the outside of the mountain, but soon they penetrated deep into the mountain forest. Some tourists even photographed their traces in the mountains more than ten miles away.

    Zhang Qian was still afraid that they would never come back, but she gradually got used to it.  This guy hunts in the mountains, and his routes are getting farther and farther, and sometimes he only comes back every two or three days.

    The mouse seems to be an exception. It occasionally goes out to look for food with the female clouded leopard, but most of the time it looks for food in the yard.

    ¡°Mouse likes to eat meat, especially meat bones. Liu Junhao has known this for a long time.  The little guy likes to look for bones in the kennel when he has nothing to do. Several times he secretly takes away the bones hidden by Xiaopi.  Xiaopi basically ignored this and didn't give this guy any general knowledge.

    The mouse eats nuts, or Xiao Tongtong accidentally discovered it.  A few days ago, Tongtong and Haoyu came to Liujiagou to spend Sunday. After dinner, Liu Junhao got a plate of walnuts for the two children as snacks.

    Tongtong accidentally dropped a pecan while taking it, and it rolled on the ground.  Just as she was about to lean over to pick it up, the mouse immediately rushed forward and pressed it down.  The little thing first sniffed it with its nose, then licked it a few times with its tongue, and then swallowed the pecan directly into its mouth.

    They thought that the clouded leopard could not bite them, but they only heard a clicking sound, as if chewing meat and bones. They chewed the hickory nuts directly, spit them on the ground, and licked the walnut meat into their mouths with their pink and tender tongues, enjoying the taste.  Chew it.

    After eating a few times, he probably felt that he was appetizing. The mouse sucked and sniffed on the ground for a while, swallowed the walnut shell into his mouth again, bit it with his teeth, and then spit it out on the ground It was not until the walnut meat was completely eaten that he raised his head and pointed at Tongtong.  Grow.

    As if they had discovered a new world, the two little guys hurriedly called Zhang Qian to come over and see what was strange.

    My daughter-in-law also found it novel after seeing it, so she threw in a few peanuts to test it.  The mouse was not polite, he took it directly into his mouth and bit it open, quickly eating all the peanuts on the ground.
