"Gee..." As soon as Liu Junhao's hand reached into the chicken coop, the half-large hen had quickly reached over and pecked at his hand. Fortunately, he responded quickly and quickly retracted his hand, otherwise this pecking would definitely be indispensable. He looked at the hen squatting in the corner of the chicken coop with some fear, and saw that its feathers were blown up, like a fighter.

"I'll kill you again." He embarrassedly gave up the idea of ​​eating eggs at noon.

"Why are you not brave? You go and take out the eggs, why don't you?" Professor Zhao couldn't help but smile when he saw his cripple. When he was taking out the eggs, he was pecked and hurt. Liu Junhao was still talking sarcastic, but he didn't expect it would be his turn so soon.

"There is no way, the hen during the hatching period is simply unreasonable." Liu Junhao said helplessly. The hen laid eggs very hard a few days ago, but for some reason, he suddenly picked up a nest in the chicken cage and occupied a large number of eggs, making it difficult for them to eat eggs. Every time, they waited until the night completely fell, they could secretly reach into the chicken coop and take out the eggs.

It’s not that Liu Junhao is reluctant to leave those eggs, but that Professor Zhao didn’t think about it when he bought these chickens, and he bought all of them. There are no roosters in his family, and they don’t have a single yin. Without a rooster, these eggs are considered “duds” and cannot hatch chicks.

Professor Zhao began to come back to change some eggs in the village, but Liu Junhao rejected it and directly put the duck eggs under the hen's body to make it hatch.

These dozens of water duck eggs were bought by the river. Originally, Liu Junhao wanted to cook them for Xiao Haoyu to eat, but the little guy disagreed and insisted on taking them back and letting his friends see what water duck eggs are. He wanted to show off in front of his friends, and secretly hid them while the adults were not paying attention.

Who knew that when Zhao Weidong and the others left that day, they forgot about this matter. Liu Junhao was so nervous that he didn't think of this because he got something for them, so the duck eggs were left, which was still taken out of the firewood when Professor Zhao was cooking in the evening.

So these dozen duck eggs were placed under the hen's belly. When the hen arrived at the hatching period, it would hatch no matter what egg it was! Even if you put a round stone, it would still turn around every day.

And Liu Junhao was very relieved to leave the duck eggs to the hens to hatch. What did that mean: I don’t worry if you do things.

Although water ducks are experts in building nests and hatching eggs, domestic ducks are stupid guys who can only lay eggs and cannot hatch eggs. The "glorious mission" of hatching ducks in rural areas is completed by hens, so it can be said that it is experienced.

**Twenty-one, ducks and ducks are twenty-eight days, which means that it takes twenty-eight days to turn from duck eggs into ducks. During this period, the hens are actually hard-working. They lie in the nest every day and don’t move. At most, when it’s time to eat, they run out of the nest, drink two sips of water quickly, catch a few grains of rice, and then hurry back to the nest to hatch eggs.

Professor Zhao was a little reluctant to see it, so he put a large bowl of water in front of the chicken coop, and piled some fruits and rice grains there for it to eat. Liu Junhao even joked that he was like serving a hen for confinement.

Professor Zhao also feels that he is more and more like an old woman as he gets older. In the past, he is always in a hurry to live. Now that he has free time, he is becoming increasingly interested in flowers, birds, insects and fish. When he is free, he is also a pleasure to look at the small things in the yard running around.

The two of them were sleeping well that night, and suddenly they heard Xiaopi screaming in the yard, and then the hens in the chicken coop also began to clamor.

"There is a thief..." This was Liu Junhao's first reaction. He quickly touched the light bulb at the head of the bed and pulled it light up. He didn't bother to put on his clothes. He went to the main hall to pick up a shovel with a hand lantern and rushed into the yard.

He still clearly remembered the experience of thieves more than a month ago. Now that Xiaopi is growing up, he is relieved a lot. But sometimes he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves thinking about it. The fire and old turtles raised in his yard are very conspicuous. Now the people who come here have more than doubled the price. Especially the old turtle, which is becoming more and more famous, has become a well-known golden signboard in Liujiagou, and people who come here have to take a look at it.

Its value has also soared. Although Liu Junhao repeatedly said that he would not sell it, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the buyers. Almost every few days, someone came to ask.

There has been no movement these days. He thought the thieves had given up completely, but he did not expect that the thieves would be undead.

Liu Junhao took the hand lantern and took a quick look, but no one was found, while Xiaopi was still screaming at the courtyard wall.

"The person ran away? Damn it, his legs are quite neat." He cursed angrily, then went to look at the gate of the yard. The gate was locked tightly, and there was no sign of prying. It seemed that the thief should have been climbed in from the wall of the yard, but the thief was too quick and he fled so quickly?

It is also possible that Xiaopi discovered it as soon as he stepped onto the yard wall and escaped.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Are you recruiting a thief?" At this time, Professor Zhao hurried out of the room in his clothes and shouted at him.

"Well, but I didn't see anyone. I guess they ran away as soon as Xiaopi called me." Liu Junhao took the hand lantern and searched the corners of the yard carefully again. After confirming that there was no Tibetan, he returned to the main hall with Professor Zhao.

However, they did not go to bed immediately, but instead turned off the light and sat in the main hall waiting foolishly. They had been waiting for almost an hour without any movement. Liu Junhao couldn't stand the sleepiness and stood up and said, "It seems that this thief will not come. Let's go to bed early too. With Xiaopi here, the thief cannot get in."

"What if I take medicine?" Professor Zhao said with some concern.

"Do you think Xiaopi can eat it?" Liu Junhao looked relieved.

"That's true." Professor Zhao calmed down after hearing what he said. As Xiaopi grew up, the fine bloodline of the macular skin gradually emerged and became very alert. Most people don't eat food at all, even the best thing is not good.

So far, it only ate the food fed by Professor Zhao and Liu Junhao. Although the hairy child came to the yard, it was quite diligent enough. However, that time his father caught a fat rabbit in the field and stir-fried a large pot of meat. He specially left a few bones for Xiaopi to feed it, but Xiaopi still didn't eat it. It was Liu Junhao who took the things to feed it before he could eat it.

In fact, sometimes animals are much smarter than humans and can withstand temptations.

The two of them went back to their house to sleep. Liu Junhao just closed his eyes hazy, but heard Xiaopi screaming again.

"Mom, is it still over?" Liu Junhao was very annoyed. He grabbed the shovel and rushed out. He saw Xiaopi howling at the courtyard wall again.

Professor Zhao didn't take off his clothes just now, so he came out very quickly this time. Liu Junhao came to the yard and followed him.

"Is someone running away again?" he asked behind.

"Well, Xiaopi can't get out of the yard, otherwise she will definitely catch up with the thief." Liu Junhao nodded unwillingly.

After confirming safety again, they went back to the house to sit down, but this time they were no longer sleepy and simply sat in the house and waited.

Of course, in order not to startle the thief, Liu Junhao also led Xiaopi into the main hall and let it squat there honestly.

More than an hour passed, and just when they thought the thief would not come tonight, Xiaopi suddenly jumped up from Liu Junhao and jumped out of the crack in the void door.

The agile speed scared the two of them. Liu Junhao took the lead in reacting, waving his shovel and rushing out the door, and the hand lantern followed Xiaopi's figure.

No one? He was a little confused as he watched Xiaopi pounce forward, and his hand lantern shone in front of him for a while, but saw a black shadow flashing in the courtyard wall, while Xiaopi began to scream at the courtyard wall.

What exactly is it? Liu Junhao rushed to the wall and looked around with the hand lantern. He clearly saw a small shadow just now, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

It's really a hell. When he saw the waterway eye at the 20 to 30 centimeters high at the base of the wall, he suddenly realized that the thing was running away from the waterway eye. No wonder Xiaopi called out here.

Guess what this thief is?
