Chapter 238 Another Universe
After dinner in the morning, Liu Junhao went to the backyard to catch a few kilograms of eels and sat in the yard to read a book. Now that the end of the year is approaching, his eels are sold more, and he needs to prepare in advance every day.
"Zhizhi" Just as he flipped through two pages of the book, Wukong ran to him and jumped and jumped.
This guy, who had already fed it two sugars in the morning, is now starting to ask for it again.
Liu Junhao patted its head a few times, and then continued to read.
Seeing that the owner ignored it, the monkey was very anxious and stretched out his fluffy claws to cover the book, covering all the words.
Knowing that it was almost impossible to play with its temper, Liu Junhao had to take out a fruit candy and put it in his claws. Perhaps because the monkey seemed smart, he and Zhang Qian both regarded this guy as an ignorant child. In most cases, they had to not make too much trouble and turned a blind eye.
"Zhizhi..." The monkey didn't know that after receiving the candy, he did not leave, but instead shouted even more eagerly, and kept pulling his sleeves with his claws.
"Isn't this guy wrong?" Liu Junhao had no choice but to stand up.
The monkey ran to the backyard, and ran back and called the owner to follow. He thought it was only a few steps, but he never thought that the monkey went to the backyard wall and climbed directly onto the wall.
I was dizzy, my feelings were about to pass the wall, but this guy was over. I knew that the straight line between the two points was the shortest, but at least I could think about whether the master could get on the wall? It was cold now, and he was wearing thick clothes and his body was much clumsy. He forced himself to grit his teeth and climbed over the wall. As a result, his feet slipped when he landed on the ground and sat on the ground. Fortunately, the wall was covered with white grass, so he didn't fall out.
The monkey saw his master out of the courtyard wall and ran hurriedly into the depths of the grass.
There is a large puddle behind the courtyard, so don’t look at it. His home is only separated by a wall, but Liu Junhao would not easily turn here. Except for the time when he followed the fox in Xiatian, this is the second time. He is very curious now and doesn’t know what Wukong has discovered, so it deserves to shout and pull him over.
Could it be that the grass raccoon? Think about it, it is very likely that when the students came a few days ago, they saw the two guys stealing fish in their yard. Looking at the momentum, the nest was probably moved back to the puddle. The monkey found the grass raccoon's residence? It seems that no matter how cunning grass raccoon is, it can't beat the monkey, otherwise how could their hole be discovered? But even if they found the cave, Liu Junhao was not ready. He just thought of looking at their nest.
Still leaving? Seeing that he had walked out of the water puddle, Wukong still did not stop. He walked step by step to the high soil bun next to him. This soil bun was not low before, but a few years ago, he was dug up a lot by people building houses and digging them up. Now it is only half a meter high. When Old Man Liu was alive, he opened a piece of land here to plant it, and every year it was just a wasteland harvest. After his death, Liu Junhao naturally impatiently continued to reclaim Gaogang. So nearly half acre of land was abandoned, and it was covered with miscellaneous shrubs and yellow wormwood.
The monkey kept leading the owner to the edge of the yellow artemisia bush before stopping, and then pointed at the scattered yellow artemisia and shouted.
What did you want me to see? Liu Junhao turned his head and looked for a long time, but he didn't notice anything abnormal about the Yellow Animal conglomerate. However, before he could continue to be confused, the monkey had already pulled open the leaves of the Yellow Animal conglomerate on the ground.
Hey, the bean mouse cave! Liu Junhao saw the black hole at the root of the yellow artemisia an immediately understood. The feeling was that the monkey discovered a bean mouse cave.
When they met the Doumaizi, everyone was killed. After digging their holes, they could still get dozens of kilograms of food. Thinking of this, Liu Junhao turned his head and wanted to go back to carry the bucket, but after looking carefully, it seemed that the hole was very different from the Doumaizi cave.
Floating soil can usually be seen around Doumaizi Cave. The surrounding area of this cave is quite clean, and the entrance of the cave is larger than that of Doumaizi Cave, making it look particularly smooth.
Could it be the Hedgehog Cave? Liu Junhao looked around and became a little confused.
There are many animals in Liujiagou, and many people like to drill holes. Take this cave for example. From the appearance, it looks like a hedgehog cave, but there may be hares, water snakes, weasels, etc. hidden inside.
What do you think so much, you can dig it out directly.
He had made up his mind and turned back to the yard to get a shovel. Of course, in order to make Professor Zhao and Mr. Wang lively, he shouted through the courtyard wall. As for Xiaopi, it is more important to ask if it is a hare, it will chase after it.
"What was me at that time? It was the Bean Mouse Cave?" Professor Zhao thought he had discovered something strange, so he rushed over without even playing chess. Who knew that he had discovered a mouse cave. Qiuli had been digging many mice up the mountain at that time, and now he can be said to be half an expert in digging holes.
"If you are careful, will I call you if you are Doumazi?" Liu Junhao explained with a smile.
"Oh?" Professor Zhao leaned forward and looked at it, and said, "It really doesn't look like the Weasel Cave?"
"I don't know, I think it's the Hedgehog Cave, and the Weasel Cave is smaller than this." Liu Junhao was really sure this time.
"No matter what hole it is, we will know it after digging it. It takes a long time to discuss. Do you think this is the construction of the Three Gorges Dam?" Mr. Wang saw the two of them procrastinate for a long time, and immediately impatient, picked up the shovel and dug it out.
"That's right" Professor Zhao said as he waved his shovel up.
Liu Junhao had the intention of digging and identifying it again, so he naturally would not object.
"Good guy, what kind of hole is this? Why did you walk horizontally?" Professor Zhao dug a few shovels and noticed that something was wrong. Generally, animals' caves are hit downwards, so how could this one walk horizontally?
"There must be stones below." Liu Junhao is experienced in this. The animal's burrowing skills are very superb. As long as you feel the obstruction of the stone roots, you will definitely bypass it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "crack" sound from Mr. Wang. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Professor Zhao helped him up with eye disease.
"It's okay, Xiao Hao's crow really hit it. It's such a big stone." Lao Wang picked up the shovel and looked at it, with a hole with a length of two fingers on his face.
Now that I'm fine, I don't know what's inside the hole, but I broke a shovel first.
"Wait, stop." When Liu Junhao saw the bunches of gray-black feathers in the cave, he immediately became excited, "I know what is inside the cave. We are very developed this time."
"What?" the two turned their heads and looked at him.
"Shuiyangchi"
"Really, this is what you said... They hibernate in the cave in winter?" Liujiagou has a lot of water rafts, but this thing is very courageous. People either fly away from afar or drill into the reed marsh. You can't even look for it. Usually, they catch fish and shrimps by the river, and they can't come to the village. When Liu Junhao had just raised eels, he didn't know what was going on. A group of water rafts came to the door. After they shot a few of them with a chain gun, the thing never appeared again.
Now that they can find a place where they hibernate, they can definitely catch a lot of them... The meat of the water radish roe seems to be very fragrant when they are fried. For a moment, Professor Zhao actually had a little aftertaste.
"Then I'll go back and take the net bag over." Thinking of this, he immediately threw away the shovel.
"What are you doing with a net bag?" Liu Junhao asked in confusion.
"Of course it's catching birds. What if they are alarmed after waiting and these guys fly away?"
"Haha, no need," Liu Junhao said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you last time? This thing has poor eyesight in winter. After digging it up, we can just catch it."
"Wait a minute," seeing that they were talking very enthusiastically, Mr. Wang hurriedly interrupted the conversation, "Is the water rind roe you mentioned a kind of bird?"
"Isn't this nonsense? I can tell the name." Professor Zhao replied.
"No, birds hibernate too?" Lao Wang was a little unbelievable.
"Why can't birds hibernate?" Liu Junhao was even more strange than him. It is not normal for animals to hibernate. Is it worth making such a fuss?
"You have to figure out that birds cannot hibernate. Only cold-blooded animals will hibernate. Mammals in some high-altitude areas will hibernate according to the environment. However, birds are different. If the weather is too cold, they will migrate to avoid the cold."
"Is that true... Isn't eating or drinking considered hibernation?" Liu Junhao turned his head and looked at Professor Zhao. This was the first time he heard of this theory. Now he thought about the hibernation of water galaxies, which seemed to be different from the hibernation of frogs and hedgehogs. They would still move after being shocked.
"It should be counted." Professor Zhao could only be careless. He specialized in his profession, and he had no research on the phenomenon of bird hibernation. If Lao Wang had not mentioned it suddenly, he would have found that he had really ignored this matter.
"Let's check the Internet when you go back. Let's catch the water saplings first. I'll weave a rope and tie them underneath." Liu Junhao said as he pulled two handfuls of white grass from the side. Although this grass is not as strong as a fine hair, it is definitely OK to tie a few birds.
"Snooze...gu..." At this time, a strange cry came from the cave, which sounded a bit like a person snoring while sleeping.
"Bird Penitent" Mr. Wang's eyes were sharp-eyed and immediately discovered the changes in the hole. It seemed that he was not far from the water glutinous rice balls.
"I caught..." Soon, Mr. Zhao pulled out a big hot bird from the hole. He saw that the bird's gray-brown feathers were water galaxy.
The thing left the warm cave and was immediately trembling with cold and screamed.
"It's really hibernation." Seeing that it was true, Lao Wang believed it at this time.
"What else," Professor Zhao stretched out his hand and grabbed a water raisin from it.
"Is there any?" Lao Wang is a little greedy now and he is not greedy for the snake to swallow an elephant.
"I guess not. This hole is too narrow and can't hide much." Liu Junhao said. According to his usual experience, he found that the caves of the water yang rooster group are generally large.
"I don't know, there should be some more. The hole has not ended." Mr. Zhao stretched out his hand, feeling that it was still deep inside.
"Let's see." Liu Junhao also came forward and stretched his hand into the cave, but he finally found a few bird feathers.
"There must be more, let's continue digging." After tied up the two water rafts, they continued to dig. These two guys were honest enough. They didn't struggle much after being caught, and stayed there honestly.
In fact, at this time, just use a bamboo pole to throw it into the water radish can be blasted out. However, Liu Junhao doesn't want to run back for the second trip now, so he can just dig it with a shovel. Anyway, the hole is not very deep.
But things were beyond his expectations again. When the fifth water raft was dug out, the three of them were surprised. The hole was simply a bottomless pit, and it was not over yet. I stretched out with my hands, and it seemed that it was still quite shallow inside.
Liu Junhao suddenly thought of the interesting things that Lao Liu had said before. He said that before hibernation, the water yangchi would compete at the entrance of the cave, and if one loses in the end, the first one would enter the cave. Don’t think that entering the cave first is good, in fact, it should be an unlucky person.
After confirming the first water raisin rooster that entered the hole, the second bird followed closely behind. After entering the hole, it would place its mouth behind the buttocks of the first bird, and then other birds would also enter it, placing its mouth under the buttocks of the previous bird in turn, as if it was wearing candied haws.
During hibernation, the stomach and intestines of the water-grown radished chickens continue to digest. The feces they eliminate are food. The birds behind can eat them to satisfy their hunger, while the first bird was starved to death because they had no food.
Liu Junhao used to think this statement was ridiculous, and he used bamboo poles to throw it when catching water sucking sucklings, so he naturally didn't have the chance to witness it. Now he has caught five or six water sucklings in a row, and it seems that it is really as Old Liu said.
"Continue to dig to see how many birds are hidden inside." Mr. Wang became more and more excited as he digs. He did not expect that there was another world in an inconspicuous cave.
After returning, he would reward Wukong with a few more candies. He could actually find such a wonderful place. Liu Junhao looked at the monkey next to him and thought secretly.
One, one...and another, in a moment, four more were dug out from it.
"How deep is this hole? It's already been dug two or three meters?" Mr. Zhao dug up the floating soil next to him and reached into the hole.
"Ah, something is taking me a bite." Just as the two of them thought they were taking out the water raisins again, they saw him hurriedly retracting his hand.
"Snake?" Lao Wang was shocked when he saw blood beads seeping on his fingers.
"Impossible, the snake was hibernating early at this time." Liu Junhao's expression suddenly relaxed. The blood bead was bright red and it was definitely not poisonous.
"Continue to dig to see what it is." Professor Zhao saw that there was nothing serious about his hands, and then worked hard.
"Hedgehog!!" When they saw the thing at the end of the hole, they were stunned. There was a hedgehog living inside. It was obvious that Mr. Zhao had just touched it and was stabbed.
This guy is now curled into a thorn ball, covered with a lot of grass residue, a grass nest under him, and a lot of food is placed next to it. Judging from the arrangement of the cave, the standard hedgehog cave, it is obvious that the water rafts are just sleeping.
It seems that hedgehogs eat birds, right? Liu Junhao admires the water galaxy. They are too stupid and bold. They dare to drill in as soon as they find a cave. When the hedgehogs wake up next spring, they will definitely use them as food.
