    Chapter 510: Catching Bamboo Rats Cleverly

    Not long after entering the mountain, I saw that the soil beside the mountain stream was arched into shallow grooves. The khaki soil was interspersed with thick white roots of thatch. It didn¡¯t take a guess to know that it was the work of wild boars.  The wild boars in the mountains must have come out to look for food last night. They dug wildly along the mountain stream until they stretched themselves out.

    Liu Junhao was not idle as he advanced, bending down to pick mushrooms in the grass from time to time.  In less than two hours, the plastic bag was full.  [.]

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off

    When it was twelve o'clock at noon, they stopped near the mountain stream and prepared a pot for lunch.

    This is no longer the outskirts of the mountain. If you go further, you will really enter the deep mountains.

    "You guys have a rest here, I'll go to the water to catch some fish, and we'll make fish soup at noon." Liu Junhao stretched and said.  There were no pine trees growing around this mountain stream, only low grass and shrubs. It seemed like nothing could be covered, but when Xiaopi got in, a group of crows immediately flew out.

    Farther away was a sparse wild bamboo forest. He looked at the location and saw that it was not the one where he picked up cicada shells in the summer.

    ¡°I¡¯ll learn how to catch fish with my bare hands.¡± Du Bo became more energetic after hearing this and hurriedly followed.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go too,¡± another person responded, wanting to see Liu Junhao¡¯s ability to catch fish with his bare hands.

    "Study hard." If there weren't a few people who wanted to learn the skills, Liu Junhao would just grab some from the stone locks, so there would be no need to go to such trouble.

    Rainfall decreases in autumn, and mountain streams also enter the dry season, with the water flowing much more slowly.  There happens to be a bend here, and black silt accumulates in many places.

    He stood by the water and took a few glances, then dug his fingers into the mud. When he pulled it up again, he already had an eel more than thirty centimeters long in his hand.

    "Is this okay?" Several people stared wide-eyed.

    "It's not difficult. You can do it too," Liu Junhao explained with a smile. "If you see these black mud holes, they are eel holes. Now in this season, eels are not far from the entrance of the cave. You can touch the eels by slowly extending your index finger along the entrance of the hole.  . Then the index finger and middle finger quickly merge into a pair of pliers, and you can catch it by clamping hard." Liu Junhao explained while gesticulating with his hands.  It would be nice if the stream was bigger, and I could demonstrate to others how to catch eels using sound.

    It was quite simple to listen to what he said, but it was difficult to realize it after a few people put it into practice.  To catch eels, you must have quick eyes and quick hands. If you are slow, the eels will have already penetrated deep into the mud.  They were busy for a long time, but got nothing except their hands with mud. However, Liu Junhao had already caught four eels.

    "Come here and see what is left behind?" Luo Haitao pointed at the tower-shaped mud mass among the water plants and shouted.

    "Oh, this is the loach cave. If you want to eat, I will catch a few more loaches." Liu Junhao recognized it at a glance.  The loaches are about to hibernate and are busy digging holes before winter, so there is this kind of spiral tower-shaped fine mud at the entrance of the holes.

    This kind of loach is the best to catch. Just poke it down slowly with an iron hook, and then lift it up gently. If you feel a sticky feeling on the hook, it means the loach is hooked.

    Because loaches need to store a lot of fat in their bodies before going through the winter, they are particularly fat. Many of them are as thick as a thumb, and they taste very delicious.

    Liu Junhao still performs catching loaches with his bare hands. This method is slightly different from catching eels. The main reason is that eels are longer and easier to catch.  Catching a loach is different. You have to dig out the mud with both hands and then throw it to the shore. There is a good chance that there is a fat loach hiding in it.  Of course, even for him, the success rate is not high. He can basically catch it once every two times.

    After catching more than a dozen loaches, Liu Junhao continued to walk a few steps downstream and stood still in front of the water plants.

    "What kind of fish are there?" Judging from his actions, it was natural that he wanted to catch fish again.  "There are mostly crucian carp, and fishermen often say 'fishing for crucian carp and fishing the edge'. The main reason is that there are many aquatic plants on the shore, and the buds of aquatic plants and the aquatic organisms inside are the main diet of crucian carp. In addition, aquatic plants can release oxygen for crucian carp to breathe." Liu Junhao explained while squatting.  Lower your body and fall into the water with your arms spread wide.  Then slowly move your hand toward the middle.  When the water plants piled up together, he suddenly pushed it to the shore, and suddenly a ball of water plants as big as a pot lid was thrown to the shore.

    There were not only two crucian carps that were a bundle long, but also many small fish and shrimps. These were inedible, so Liu Junhao threw them back into the mountain stream.

    This method of catching fish is simple, and several people learned it immediately, and they all screamed with excitement.  But it soon turned into screams, "Snake!"

    I saw a water snake crawling out of the grass in panic and quickly diving into the water.

    "I forgot to tell you that snakes like to stay in aquatic plants." Although it is almost the hibernation season for snakes, they will still come out to hunt when the temperature is high.  ThisThe snake was too small to eat, so Liu Junhao let it go.

    "You guys clean these fish, and we'll serve them with mushroom fish soup later. I'll go to the bamboo forest to see if there's anything else to eat" Liu Junhao said, taking out his slingshot and walking into the mountain for a long time, but he hadn't shown up yet.  The real majesty.

    "I'll see it with you." Du Bo saw him taking out his slingshot and immediately followed him.

    "Okay, Xiaopi, let's go," Liu Junhao shouted.

    Two yellow-spotted skins immediately jumped up from the ground and followed their master obediently.

    Liu Junhao went to the bamboo forest, naturally preparing to hunt a few bamboo rats for tooth-beating ceremonies.  He had this plan when he found out about the shell earlier, but his wife stopped him from making a move.

    As long as there are bamboo forests on the mountain, bamboo rats are naturally indispensable. These guys just choose a ventilated and water-proof place to settle down, and then directly drill holes under the bamboo poles and gnaw along the sweet bamboo roots.  Therefore, it is easy to find them. Stand in the bamboo forest and take a look. As long as you find a bamboo with withered leaves, there is a good chance that the bamboo rats have chewed off the roots.  If you search around, you can usually see a line of black soil, which is where the bamboo rat's burrow is.

    The most commonly used method to catch bamboo rats is of course digging. After finding the bamboo rat hole, you must first check whether the entrance of the hole is sealed with fresh soil.  In order to prevent other natural enemies from entering the burrow, bamboo rats usually block the entrance of the hole after digging it. However, in Liu Junhao's view, this seems to be a cover-up.  Of course, after clearly seeing the sealed cave, you also need to find a secondary cave nearby, and then determine the direction of the bamboo rat cave.  If you make a mistake in judgment, you will fall into a trap, with new holes and old holes extending across each other, making it impossible for you to start.

    By digging a bamboo rat hole, an experienced person can easily judge the size and number of bamboo rats in the hole from the feces left in the hole.  The feces of this thing are a bit like capsules, one by one, the big ones are as thick as a hemp stick, and the small ones are as thin as chopsticks.  If the feces in the cave are of different sizes, it means there is more than one bamboo rat inside.

    "What kind of cave is this?" Du Bo asked curiously, taking a few photos.

    "Bamboo Rat Cave, you don't even know this, do you?" Liu Junhao asked casually.

    ¡°I¡¯ve eaten bamboo rats, but I haven¡¯t seen what their burrows look like.¡± After taking a few photos, Du Bo asked excitedly, ¡°How to dig?¡±

    ¡°Use your hands,¡± Liu Junhao joked with a smile.

    "Use your hands, okay?" Du Bo thought he really had to dig with his hands, so he subconsciously started to roll up his sleeves.

    ¡°You¡¯re kidding, you¡¯ll know when you dig it, it¡¯s full of bamboo roots and you can¡¯t dig it out.¡± Liu Junhao shook his head, and then led him out of the cave.

    "Then how do we catch him?"

    "Don't worry, you won't go hungry if you follow me. From now on, don't say anything, and be gentle." Liu Junhao waved his hand to stop his words, and then gently patted Xiaopi's head.

    The two yellow-spotted skins immediately understood and ran towards the front of the bamboo forest.

    Soon, they stopped again and kept sucking at a thick bamboo pole.

    "This" Du Bo was about to say it, but when he saw Liu Junhao's gesture, he immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

    Liu Junhao picked up a big stone and tiptoed close to the bamboo.  Before Du Fei could react, he had already hit the stone in the middle of the bamboo.

    There was a loud "bang" sound and the bamboo swayed back and forth.

    "Okay, we can catch bamboo rats." It was not until this moment that Liu Junhao's voice sounded.

    "Where, where is the bamboo rat?" Du Bo looked left and right but didn't see it.

    "It's right here." Liu Junhao pointed at the bamboo pole, then pulled out his short knife and started to chop at the roots.

    Now Du Fei was even more confused and asked in confusion: "Bamboo rats can't hide in bamboos, right?"

    "Why not?" Liu Junhao chopped off the bamboo pole three times, revealing a plump bamboo rat inside.  The guy's calves were still kicking, but he was beaten to death before he could escape.

    Du Bo had an excited look on his face and kept saying, "Tell me what's going on."

    "Simple, bamboo rats usually come out to look for food at night. But things are not absolute. They sometimes get into the bamboo stalks and gnaw randomly during the day. As long as you hear the clicking sound coming from the bamboo, they must be eating. This guy  It is very greedy and eats without any sense. It will dig up the bamboo joints until the bamboo can no longer support the body. So when you hear this sound, you can just hit the bamboo pole suddenly to stun the bamboo rat, and you can catch it easily. Of course.  Bamboo poles will dry up and die after being harmed by them in a few days." Liu Junhao explained, pointing to the long bamboo.

    "I see. Wait until Xiaopi finds the bamboo rat. Don't do anything. I'll try it too." This was easy to do, and Du Bo became interested again.

    "No problem, butBe careful when catching it. This thing has sharp teeth, so don't let it bite you.  "Liu Junhao agreed immediately.

    Someone gave some advice, and Du Bo did it right, and he quickly caught a plump bamboo rat.

    After catching three bamboo rats in a row, Liu Junhao called back Huang Pi.  In addition, the fish soup is enough for them to eat, no matter how much they catch, it will be wasted.

    "Guys, look what we caught back." Du Bo shouted loudly from a distance.

    "Bamboo rats, there are bamboo rats in Daqingshan." Wang Junfeng also shouted in surprise.

    "How did you catch it? This thing seems to be making holes?" Luo Haitao asked.

    "Haha, we caught it with our bare hands." Du Bo proudly recounted the process of catching bamboo rats, and the remaining two people were full of admiration.
