Text Chapter 534 The old turtle's nest

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "It may also be a giant salamander. I have read information and it can reach 1 meter or more in length, and the heaviest one can exceed 100 kilograms" Someone else made a judgment.  ([] )Some netizens once broke the news on the forum about the appearance of salamanders in the mountain streams near Liujiagou, and many people know about it.

    "It's impossible. In this season, salamanders have already hibernated. Besides, they usually stay in mountain streams and are unlikely to live in rivers," someone then said.

    Hearing people mention giant salamanders, Liu Junhao thought of the ones he kept in his stone locks.  Now he feels like he's in pain and wants to cry He can't afford it!

    Liu Junhao checked information on the Internet before and found that the growth rate of giant salamander is very slow. The newly hatched seedlings can grow three to five centimeters in the first year, and just reach six centimeters in the second year. Until the fifth year, the body length is only 40 centimeters.  The weight is about one pound.

    In this case, Liu Junhao can afford to raise the giant salamander even if it is edible.

    Butthe wish is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel.  He forgot that the above information mentioned that the growth rate of giant salamander in the wild environment is very different from that in artificial breeding.

    As long as there is sufficient food, the growth rate of giant salamander in the growth period is actually very scary, and the annual weight gain can reach three to four kilograms.  In other words, you can gain seven or eight pounds in a year.

    Even though the eels in Shisuo reproduce very quickly, they cannot withstand so many giant salamanders.  You must know that this thing has a strong ability to withstand hunger. It will not starve to death if it does not eat for two or three years.  But they are also ridiculous when it comes to eating, and can eat one-fifth of their body weight in one meal.

    What¡¯s more important is that the outside world is freezing, and there are still no signs of hibernation in these stone locks.

    In fact, he had already had the idea of ??releasing the giant salamander, but he delayed it due to various things.

    Looking at the rapidly growing giant salamanders, Liu Junhao already regarded them as trouble.  He secretly made up his mind to wait until spring gets warmer to leave only a few in the stone locks and release the rest.  Anyway, with these two pounds, I can already live independently.

    A group of people waited on the river beach for nearly two hours, and there was still fog on the river.  Nothing was seen.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off to the end and did not say anything.  The fog was so thick that the old man might be dazzled.  Of course, many people think it is some kind of big fish.  Just because of the old man's attitude, they were embarrassed to say it.

    ¡°After all, there has been a precedent for this kind of thing, and there are plenty of big fish in the weirs and ponds.  Aren't Liu Junhao's two large blazes, weighing several dozen kilograms, swam from the Baitiao River into the weir pond along the underground undercurrent?

    It¡¯s almost noon.  Many tourists turned around and left when they saw no results.

    Liu Junhao was thinking about the old and young, and didn't want to wait any longer, so he said hello to Liu Wuye and left.

    As soon as she got home, Zhang Qian immediately asked: "Is there really a monster?" If it wasn't for the cold weather.  She also went to the river beach with her two children just now.

    "No, I guess Mr. Liu Wu is just dazzled." Liu Junhao replied, reaching out to pick up the eldest and second eldest relatives.

    "You watch the child while I go into the house to get some food for the pheasants. They have been squawking outside the yard all morning, which is annoying." When her husband came back, Zhang Qian finally took a breather.  She went into the house and took out two big pumpkins, picked up a kitchen knife and chopped them into pieces.

    Liu Junhao¡¯s family only planted a few pumpkin seedlings in the spring, but there were so many wild pumpkin seedlings growing around the yard that they couldn¡¯t stand it.  A pumpkin weighs more than ten kilograms.  Enough to feed them both for a few days.  Summer is the time for fruiting.  They just gave away the pumpkins.  Even so, there were still two large carts of old pumpkins harvested during the autumn harvest.

    The couple now feels like vomiting when they see pumpkins, so they chop them all up and feed them to the animals in the yard.

    Bang bang bang the kitchen knife was waved.  After a while, she chopped up two big pumpkins, and then opened her mouth to call for chickens and ducks.

    Zhang Qian could not imagine this kind of farm work before.  Now it's going smoothly.

    Hearing the call of the hostess, the chickens and ducks looking for food outside the yard rushed into the yard.  Grabbing around the trough.

    Zhang Qian watched for a while, then turned around and wanted to go into the room to play on the computer.  Just took two steps.  He stopped again: "Husband, do you think those pheasants are sick? Why don't they eat?"

    "You can't" Liu Junhao heard the sound and stepped forward.  His chickens and ducks are often fed with spring water and rarely get sick.

    The pheasants next to the trough were very honest and did not fly away when their owner came to them.

    Liu Junhao had quick eyes and quick hands. He squatted down and grabbed one of them.  When he saw the mechanism on the pheasant's mouth clearly, he couldn't help but laugh and curse: "It must be those naughty kids who did the evil thing!"

    "What do you care about Liu Changlin and the others?" Zhang Qian certainly knew which "naughty kids" her husband was talking about.

    "See for yourself." Liu Junhao stretched out his hand and handed the pheasant over.

      ¡°It¡¯s a match stick, no wonder I can¡¯t eat¡± Zhang Qian couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw the thing stuck in the pheasant¡¯s mouth.

    "When they brought the squirrels here in the morning, they were free to catch pheasants for fun. I felt something was wrong. These guys have never done anything good." Liu Junhao struck out with both hands and quickly removed the matchsticks from the mouths of the pheasants.

    *

    I originally thought that the rumors of water monsters were just a flash in the pan and would gradually disappear over time.

    But things were beyond Liu Junhao¡¯s expectation, and another news came the next day.  The two people who discovered the water monster this time were villagers from Sanshu Village. They got up in the morning to collect the rabbit trap wire they had used last night, and heard the sound of sheep braying in the Baitiao River.  Like Mr. Liu Wu, they also thought whose sheep was lost.  After approaching the river bank, I found that the sound was coming from the center of the river

    One of them had a worse reaction than Mr. Liu Wu. He had a fever after returning and is now receiving infusions in the hospital.

    The remaining person insisted that he found a water monster in the river, which looked similar to what Liu Wuye described.

    After receiving this news, people who were originally silent became noisy again.

    "It's understandable that one person can be dazzled, but three people said so there might be a water monster in the Baitiao River in Daqingshan.

    Many tourists posted online to report the latest developments, and more people were wandering around the river with cameras.

    As for Liu Wuye, he has now organized a search team to lead everyone along the river bank to search.

    At everyone¡¯s request, Liu Junhao also became one of the team members, leading the two yellow-spotted skins.  In fact, he had no hope of using yellow-spotted skin to find water monsters. Liu Junhao knew Xiaopi's skills very well, and no smell on land could escape its nose.  But in the water, there is a chance that the body will be blind.  But with everyone's eager expectations, he could only bite the bullet and give it a try.

    Don¡¯t tell me, it¡¯s really effective.  At the corner of a river bend, Xiaopi suddenly growled.

    Looking in the direction of its cry, I saw an old willow tree lying halfway across the river, with many of its winding roots extending into the river.

    A hole as big as a washbasin is exposed under the roots of the tree. The hole is very hidden. If you don¡¯t look carefully, you might think it is a natural crack caused by the river¡¯s long-term erosion of the bank and the removal of sediment from under the tree roots.

    But if you look closely, you can find some doubts. The soil at the entrance of the cave is very smooth, which is obviously caused by something moving in and out frequently.

    Upon discovering something suspicious, Liu Junhao immediately shouted, asking the tourists behind to follow him.

    "This cave may really be the hiding place of the water monster. You see how hidden it is. If it weren't for the tip of the yellow-spotted nose, we wouldn't be able to find it" After looking at the cave twice, a tourist analyzed it for granted.

    "The entrance to the cave is too small. If this is really the cave of a water monster, the water monster probably only weighs a dozen kilograms. It is not even as big as a big fish. It has been eaten by the fire head. It is their turn to make trouble on the river." Liu Wuye said disapprovingly.  , "If I look at it, it's probably a worm nest. Xiaohao, don't waste time here, just keep looking."

    "Have you ever heard that water snakes dig holes like this?"

    Liu Junhao had doubts in his heart and wanted to ask the old man. Unexpectedly, he looked up and saw him secretly winking at him, so he had to suppress his doubts.

    We searched along the coast all the way to Gaohe Village, but still found nothing unusual.

    Seeing that it was getting dark, they had to withdraw the team again.

    When we arrived at Liujiagou, there was no one around. Liu Wuye took Liu Junhao and explained in a low voice: "Xiaohao, I told you, don't tell anyone else. I just found that the cave is an old turtle's nest."

    ¡°Old Turtle Nest, you said the one under the willow tree just now was Old Turtle Nest?¡± Liu Junhao exclaimed in a low voice.  In the early years, people in the village often talked about the old turtle nest. Old turtles like to hibernate and dig holes together. The place where they hide is commonly known as the old turtle nest.

    As long as you find their hiding place, you can catch several at a time.  In the past, Liu Junhao and a group of half-grown boys went to the river beach to search for it after hearing about it, but found nothing.

    Because the old turtle nest has always been very hidden, only the most experienced fishermen can discover it.

    "You naughty kid, why are you shouting so loudly?" Liu Wuye hurriedly pulled him.

    "I'm talking about Fifth Master, how did you know it was the old turtle's nest?" Liu Junhao asked curiously, wanting to explore it when no one was around.

    "You forgot what I do" Liu Wuye explained in a low voice: "Before and after the beginning of winter, old turtles usually hibernate. At this time, they like to get together. This causes many old turtles to gather together to build their nests.  Generally, they choose a sheltered place in the east-west direction. When the temperature drops, they will go into the hole to hibernate in groups and overlap. Throughout the winter, the head, tail and limbs of the old turtles are shrunk in the turtle shell, unable to eat or excrete until the weather warms up.  Separate again. ThisYoung turtles are also the easiest to catch" Seeing his interest, Liu Wuye rarely revealed a few words.

    Although Liu Junhao listened with great interest, he had no intention of digging into the old turtle's nest.  Last year he caught a lot of old turtles and put them in the stone locks. After a year, the old turtles laid eggs and hatched, and they have already multiplied inside.

    "Of course, there are some things to pay attention to when digging out old turtle holes. These things are stacked one on top when entering the hole, usually more than a dozen are piled together. The old turtle on the top usually has venomous snakes crawling on its back. You need to pay attention when digging out old turtles.  Correct the direction of the hole entrance, and start picking out the bottom one gently. You can stop after picking out five or six, and you must not be greedy, because in the end, you may wake up the poisonous snake, and if you are bitten, it will be a big problem. "

    "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. If jealous people find out, they will probably pay for it." (To be continued)
