After dinner, Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong ran over to play.

Professor Zhao's family had two little guys, so it became much more lively, and the couple were full of smiles on their faces.

Tongtong became interested in the large area of ​​beautiful henna blooming in the flower pond, and grabbed a handful of them and asked Teacher Wang to wrap her fingers with hemp leaves.

These half-human high henna plants have not bloomed a lot. The flowers are as big as copper coins, attracting many colorful butterflies every day.

Haoyu stuck out his butt and dug a few earthworms by the flower pond, then picked up a fishing rod and squatted by the ditch fishing. The water temperature in the morning was relatively low, and the fish didn't like to eat hooks, so his record was far less brilliant than yesterday afternoon. The fish caught were all as long as one finger. However, he was still very excited to play, and regardless of the fishy smell, he tore the crucian carp shells in half and stuffed them to Qingzhuang for food.

Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian were not idle at this time and were packing watermelons in the backyard. Now, there are basically more than ten small melons growing every day, which requires wrapping them in the internet bag one by one. In addition, marking the ripe watermelons so that when customers come to buy, you can just follow the map to search for the horse.

It’s just that the melon seedlings are too dense, and it’s hard to find new melons without looking carefully.

"Come here and see, what's going on?" Zhang Qian suddenly shouted from a distance.

Liu Junhao hurried over when he heard the sound, but saw that the rope on the wooden shelf was bitten and the big watermelon wrapped in the net bag had long disappeared.

The melon thief didn't expect that a melon thief would come to his yard!

Liu Junhao looked around along the melon seedlings, but found no trace. He just thought it was a mouse that was causing trouble, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong. The mouse seemed to have no ability. A big flower skin weighed about ten pounds. Even if it stole it, it couldn't take it away. At most, it solved it on the spot.

"What is this stealing the ground? Could it be a hedgehog?" Zhang Qian asked in confusion. In late autumn last year, a big hedgehog came into the backyard. As soon as he arrived in the spring, the hedgehog disappeared. Could it be that he has run back now?

"It's definitely not a hedgehog. This thing cannot climb trees. How can it get down a big watermelon in such a high ground?" The hedgehog steals watermelons. But this thing can't climb trees.

"Tsk. You don't know this. Hedgehogs will go up to the tree ground." Zhang Qian explained proudly. "The hedgehog is very smart. He can climb on the tree to steal dates. After it climbs onto the tree, it will grab the jujube branches tightly with its feet. Then shake it hard for a while. When the dates are almost gone, they will loosen their limbs and jump off the tree. Then roll a few times on the ground. All the dates will be stuck on their backs. Then it will slip away with the dates."

"Did you say this is a hedgehog?" Liu Junhao was very worried. "It's not that I read fairy tales in the book. Anyway, I have never seen a hedgehog climb a tree."

He has lived in Liujiagou for more than 20 years and has never seen a hedgehog climbing a tree. This is even the first time he has heard it.

"Is it just fake that you haven't seen before? I haven't seen a giant panda yet?" Zhang Qian argued with a slightly red face. She really saw it from the book.

Some time ago, there was a short article on a unit paper called "Friends with Thorns", which talked about the hedgehog climbing a tree and stealing dates. She also learned and used it.

"Okay, even if it's OK. Our top priority is to find this hedgehog, otherwise it will be a big loss if it keeps making noise in the backyard." Liu Junhao saw her words so confidently, he really believed it a little.

"What does it mean? If you don't understand, you won't understand." Zhang Qian couldn't stand his sloppy behavior.

The yard is full of grass and melon seedlings and branches. It is difficult to find a hedgehog if it is hidden. The two of them spent half an hour and carefully searching along the courtyard wall for two weeks, but they did not find any place where the hedgehog was nesting, and they didn't even see a piece of watermelon peel.

"Can the hedgehog steals the watermelon and runs away along the waterway eye?" Zhang Qian asked again.

"No way, the waterway eye is so small, it's hard to send the watermelon out. The melon must be somewhere in the yard." Liu Junhao suddenly slapped his head, why did he forget Xiaopi? He would definitely find it when he came over and looked for it.

After Pi came in, she sucked and sniffed it around, but ran back and wagged her tail at the two of them. It seemed that the hedgehog was really no longer in the yard.

Although Liu Junhao was very unwilling to give up, he could only lead Xiaopi out again.

Anyway, the watermelon has been stolen, and it is useless to be unwilling to accept it now.

They returned to the yard and regarded this as a strange thing. Unexpectedly, Professor Zhao slapped his head and shouted: "The watermelon in my yard was also eaten by a hedgehog two days ago? The watermelon was not stolen, but a big hole was dug in the melon peel, and the sweet potato pulp inside was exhausted."

Just after lunch, Zheng Jianxue and his wife came to buy watermelons. They asked for four at one go, so they naturally took them back to respect the elderly. Liu Junhao asked them to wait in the front yard, while Zhang Qian and he and Zhang Qian carried bamboo baskets to the back yard to pick melons.

"Damn it, it's endless!" When he saw the net bag marked with a red rope, he was so angry that he was so angry that he smoked his orifices.

This is too arrogant. I just made a land mark in the morning. In this blink of an eye, the net bag tear a big hole open and the watermelon was stolen again.

Look at that melon

The mark was still covered with juice. It was obvious that the melon thief Jun Hao immediately called Xiaopi in and let it suck and sniff it in the yard.

Within two minutes, Xiaopi barked at the waterway. But its body was too big to get in.

He really escaped from here. Liu Junhao rushed up to the trunk of the locust tree beside the yard wall with his hands and feet, and then leaned his body and stood on the wall.

Outside the courtyard wall is a large puddle of water, with a total of more than ten acres of land. The weeds in this place have been fermented for a long time, so the soil is quite fertile. The puddles are filled with half a person-deep cattails and sparse reeds, and of course several old willow trees as thick as a washbasin.

Some years ago, someone had thought about digging out wasteland here, but in summer, the water puddles turned into vast oceans, and the crops planted were flooded.

The seeds were not harvested. After a few times, no one had the idea of ​​this puddle again.

Standing on the courtyard wall, you can clearly see that from the eye of the waterway, the weeds were driven out of a small path and led straight to the cattails from the depths.

"Zhang Qian, you lead Xiaopi from the front door. I'll go and see what this melon thief is." Liu Junhao explained, then jumped off the courtyard wall.

Although the courtyard wall is more than two meters high, there are grass below, so Liu Junhao's voice was very small when he landed on the ground, and he seemed calm.

He bent down and tiptoed to walk slowly among the grasses along the traces on the ground. After walking less than a hundred meters, he heard rustling sounds from the grass in front.

Liu Junhao hurriedly squatted on the ground and looked at it, and immediately saw two melon thieves - Cao Lizi.

Why are they? It seems that even grass raccoons can't climb trees. I really don't know how they stole the watermelon.

At this moment, the two guys kept rolling their claws and walking forward. When they walked, their tails shook, and their steps seemed calm and relaxed, giving people a very leisurely feeling.

If you saw it in the wild, Liu Junhao would suddenly think that the couple had just had supper and were strolling on the road.

They pushed the watermelon nearly twenty meters away, and their expressions became obviously nervous. Their little head kept looking around and testing the enemy situation.

Perhaps it felt safe, one of the foxes immediately let out a low roar, and a few small grass croakers ran out of the grass under the roots of the willow tree.

I didn't expect that the grass raccoon's home was located next to the roots of the willow tree. They were brave enough to make nests under the noses of humans.

Those little guys jumped and jumped around the big watermelon, looking very happy.

After a few bites on the melon skin, the old fox retreated to the side to guard. A little grass croaker immediately rushed forward and chewed at the gap with his mouth, while the remaining few were anxiously screaming beside him.

After eating this one, the other one squeezed up again. These little guys inherited their parents' character and looked around while eating.

"Shasha" Liu Junhao heard the sound from behind, and knew that it was Zhang Qian who led Xiaopi to come over.

The grass raccoon was also very alert and immediately howled and issued a warning. Several little foxes waiting next to him flashed and disappeared under the willow tree. However, the little guy who was eating watermelon could not pull out his head in a hurry, and his limbs kept thrusting on the ground, causing the watermelon bones to roll around.

"It's a fox, they eat watermelons too!" Zhang Qian stretched her head out to watch curiously.

Pi was about to rush forward when Liu Junhao stopped him. He had already seen that the grass raccoon was two I had seen last year.

They obviously recognized Zhang Qian, screaming and approaching tentatively, completely ignoring Xiaopi's threat.

The little fox behind him reacted quite clumsyly. He struggled on the watermelon for a long time but did not break free. Finally, he had to shout "wow" and ask his parents for help.

Zhang Qian walked forward a few steps and wanted to help, but the two old grass raccoons immediately jumped back and stared at her with two pairs of eyes.

This thing is very sensitive, so Zhang Qian could only tentatively walk towards the watermelon step by step. Finally, she squatted down slowly and spread the watermelon mouth hard. The little guy immediately gained freedom and jumped back.

Trust was established by each other. Zhang Qian helped them twice in a row. Cao Lizi probably knew that she had no malice, so she jumped around her again, and this time the distance was closer.

Liu Junhao was a little envious and wanted to join in the fun with him, but as soon as he took a step, the two guys immediately shouted to retreat, without giving him any face.

Grandma, if I hadn't let you go, you would have made leather jackets and hung them in the store for sale.

He muttered in his heart for a while, but he did not approach Zhang Qian again.

The sun is fierce in the afternoon, but the picture in front of you gives people a warm feeling.

The parents of a few little grass raccoons who probably couldn't wait for their parents began to get anxious. They poked their heads and watched the grass for a while, and ran out in one go.

Everything is so harmonious and perfect between man and nature.
