Chapter 391 Catching Centipede

Zhang Qian originally wanted to play tricks and try to pick a bunch of her husband, but seeing that he couldn't get in, he had to pick up the watermelon juice on the table.

By the way, since she became pregnant, her husband has become disgusting and she doesn't let her do anything.

She was really bored, so she yawned and wanted to go back to the room to watch the Internet.

"Don't, why don't you embroider the cross stitch?" Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped him. He tried his best to stop his wife from surfing the Internet, so as to go less if he could.

"I don't want to embroider anymore." Zhang Qian kept shaking her head.

"Then I'll give you a simple brain teaser. I just watched it online..." Liu Junhao hurriedly diverted his wife's gaze.

"You said..." Zhang Qian was quite interested in brain teasers.

"There are a hundred hunters in the field, ninety-nine of whom are fighting rabbits, and only one person is not fighting. Why?" Liu Junhao made a brain teaser casually.

"..." Zhang Qian thought with her lips pursed.

Liu Junhao likes to look at his wife's mood. He looks very cute and stupid when he has time to take pictures with his mobile phone. When the child grows up and becomes sensible, he will show his "ugly" attitude.

"It's not just about protecting small animals, it's definitely not the answer." Before my husband could speak, Zhang Qian had already denied herself.

She guessed a few times, and Liu Junhao shook his head and said no. Finally, under his wife's urging, he gave the answer, "Because the hunter's nickname is 'Rabbit', he is being beaten by others."

"Tsk, it's boring. Let's talk about one more..."

Seeing that he successfully diverted his wife's attention, Liu Junhao started talking again. As he was talking, he suddenly heard a click on his head.

He was startled and thought something was wrong. He quickly looked up at the tree, but saw a branch as thick as an arm on the jujube tree broke, revealing the dark red wood.

"Husband, what's going on with this jujube tree?" Zhang Qian didn't care about cutting her nails and hurriedly stood up from the chair.

This year, there seem to be more dates on the jujube tree than last year. Many branches have been bent, which are heavy and very gratifying. The broken branches are particularly thick, and it is estimated that thirty or forty kilograms of dates can be harvested. It is worth hundreds of dollars.

Seeing that the dates were about to mature, Zhang Qianxiao felt a little distressed.

Hearing the movements in the hospital, Professor Zhao also came over to inquire.

"What else can happen? It's a worry that the jujube tree has too many knots." Liu Junhao pointed to the broken branch and said, "Look at the cross-section of the branch, it's because it's hollowed out by insects, and there are so many dates this year."

"I said, the dates are green and shiny, and they look crispy. It's a pity to hang them on the tree. Let's get them down later, let's carry the date buns?" Professor Zhao suggested.

"Okay, I'll call all the naughty kids in the village to pick up dates." Liu Junhao was thinking of this and immediately went out to call people. There were so many dates that the three of them couldn't finish picking up, so I'd better find a few more helpers.

I heard that the dates were drawn in his yard, and children rushed over, and even a few tourists came to watch the fun. The dates from Liu Junhao's family are famous among tourists, and everyone knows that the dates are very delicious and sweet when eaten.

When he saw someone coming, he pointed at the broken branch and said a word of date. Wukong immediately reacted and rushed to the branch in a few seconds. The guy held the branch and shook it, and it rained in the yard.

"Wukong, stop." Seeing that the dates were almost the same, Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped.

Wukong was obedient and stopped immediately.

Seeing that the dates were not falling, the group of children began to snatch them up. Liu Junhao also picked up a few casually, wiped the soil on it and tasted it. It turned out to be sweet.

Wukong was so nauseous that when he saw people approaching the jujube tree, the guy suddenly shook the branches again.

"Crack" the dates fell down again, beating the children who picked up the dates so hard that they ran away.

Liu Junhao quickly scolded him, but the guy was disobedient and instead squeaked excitedly, and the movements on his claws did not stop.

Wukong's interest comes quickly and he loses interest when he goes there, so he sits alone on the jujube tree and eats dates.

The broken jujube branch must not be able to survive. There are still many dates on it, which are left on the tree to waste. Liu Junhao took out a long bamboo pole hook from under the eaves, and directly pulled down the jujube branch, preparing to dry it and burn it.

Liu Junhao didn't want the dates picked up by those naughty children, so he let them eat and play with them. He had already picked up a few kilograms of them, which was enough to pack the date buns.

Unexpectedly, these guys didn't eat enough, so they ate all the dates in their hands in a short while and were making a fuss to eat them. Liu Junhao was afraid of breaking the branches again, so he followed the public opinion and picked up the bamboo pole and swayed it.

At this moment, Master Liu Wu entered the yard, and Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped to treat him to ate dates.

"Yes, this date is sweeter than the two trees in our yard." Master Liu Wu couldn't help but praise it after tasting it. After a while, he said his purpose, "Xiaohao, do you have centipedes in your backyard? If so, I'll catch a few. I'll wait to use..."

"Fifth Master, you want to catch centipedes, I'll help you..." Before Liu Junhao could interrupt, the Mao Child volunteered to stand up.

"Get away, do you know the centipede?" Master Liu Wu slapped his head and pressed the naughty child on the chair.

"Fifth Master, why do you think about catching centipedes at this time? Is it wrong? Why don't you wait anymore? I'll help you when I have time?" Liu Junhao asked in confusion.

In fact, he did not refuse. This is really not the best time to catch centipedes. If you want to catch centipedes, you usually catch them in spring, before the Qingming Festival. Because centipedes usually crawl into the soil when the weather is cold in October and lurk in winter, and do not wake up until the Jingzhe. At this time, centipedes are resting for a winter, with thick and shiny skin and extremely plump, so it is best to use medicine.

After the beginning of summer, many centipedes begin to hide in bricks, stones or piles of weeds, laying eggs and molting, which are quite difficult to catch. If you don’t have any effort to find them, it is difficult to find them. In addition, in summer, there is a lot of rain, and the captured centipedes are not easy to remain dry, and they will rot if you are not careful. At this time, the centipedes have thin flesh and poor quality, which can only be considered a defective product.

"A few nights ago, it was hot, and your five-mistress was sleeping on the ground, but it turned out that it was rheumatism and felt uncomfortable all over. I found a prescription and needed more than ten centipedes as medicine. I won't come to you..."

"I said to Master Wu, if you are sick, go to the hospital to see it. Don't delay, where did you come from that prescription?" Liu Junhao hurriedly persuaded him.

"It's okay, your five-breast is an old problem. I have used the prescription before. Your backyard has a large yard, a house is also old, and the grass is thick. I guess there should be a lot of centipedes..."

Mr. Liu Wu was not wrong. Centipedes like to eat insects such as green insects, cockroaches, etc. Liu Junhao's backyard is suitable for centipedes to survive, but he hasn't even seen any of them for so long. The reason can be imagined: Although centipedes are quite scary, they actually have many natural enemies, such as mice, roosters, birds, and even ants can eat centipedes.

When it comes to centipedes, most people know that this thing is known as the "Five Poisons" together with snakes, scorpions, geckos, and toads, and ranks first among the Five Poisons.

It is also a Chinese medicinal herb. In the early years, when summer and autumn came, centipedes appeared in large quantities, and some people bought centipedes on the streets of Qingshan Town. Prices were priced according to the size of centipedes. A 5 cent per person is less than nine cents, a 1 cent for the medium, and a 3 cent for the large one.

At that time, you could buy a popsicle, or a handful of melon seeds and old beef tendons for 5 cents. This was a good way to generate income to improve your life. Liu Junhao was crazy about centipedes when he was a child. They didn’t care what others used to buy centipedes, but they just handed in the money to deliver the goods.

Often, as soon as school is over in the afternoon, I put down my schoolbag and carry a small rake all over the village to find centipedes to catch scorpions.

Catching centipedes is an experience. First of all, you need to choose the good terrain. This thing usually lives in dark and humid places. Therefore, the adobe wall base in the shade is the first choice, especially the wall base is filled with stones, broken tiles, rotten leaves, and there are usually centipedes. Just use a rake to dig out one of them.

At this time, just be bold and careful, press the centipede with the teeth of the rake, then pinch the centipede's head with your hands, pull out the two poisonous fangs of the centipede, throw them into the canned bottle, and get one cent.

However, it should be noted that you must not use too much force, otherwise it will be worthless to pull the centipede off. Later, they were too moved and almost dug down the adobe house of Liu Junyi's family. As a result, the people found the school and the teacher scolded them. Helplessly, the group of guys had to turn their eyes outside the village. I don't know who first discovered that there were more centipedes in the dilapidated grave and around them, and they were quite large.

So, a group of naughty children were not afraid and foolishly took the rake to dig the graves. Of course, they did not dare to move the graves in the village, but went to the hillside to find the kind of unowned broken graves.

I don’t know how many years have passed these tombs. They have been disrepaired and have long been piled up by rocks. Many of them can be seen through the gaps.

The timid ones were already scared to see this thing, but they were quite interested in doing it. Liu Junhao's most awesome thing about seeing a huge centipede in the skeleton's eye socket. No one dared to do it. He kicked it with his feet a few times, and when the centipede came out, he pinched it with his hands and threw it into the bottle.

Then he rubbed his hands in the admiring eyes of his friends, and he seemed extremely proud. Later, he thought about his actions at that time.

Another time, when I was playing with my classmates after class, I accidentally found more than a dozen fat centipedes in the corner. He and Liu Qiyong pulled out the centipedes' teeth and put them secretly in the classmate's pencil case.

Wait for those students to open the pencil case...you can imagine the situation at that time

During the whole self-study class, the students were screaming and chaotic, and many timid female classmates cried in a mess.

Of course, this matter was quickly reported to the teacher, and several participants were dragged by the teacher's ears and threw them outside and punished them to stand. Liu Junhao and Liu Qiyong, the culprits, were also specially "careful" by the teacher with bamboo sticks, and almost swollen his hands.
