Chapter 393: The bloody case caused by otters
After dinner in the morning, Professor Zhao sat in the wooden bridge pavilion to enjoy the cool air, while Liu Junhao looked through the dictionary to find his children's names. This is the top priority at present, and he must be careful. Zhang Qian has to chant in his ear almost every day.
Liu Junhao had already thought about it for more than 20 times, but all of them were denied. In fact, in his opinion, it was enough to have a name called "OK" and "So many things to pay attention to.
But Zhang Qian didn't think so, saying that she had to be careful when she was naming. She gave an example. When she was in high school, she was a female classmate who was the eldest at home. When she was just born, her father named her Sixi, but she had three daughters in a row. Sure enough, Sixi was around...
After hearing what my wife said was so mysterious, Liu Junhao could only take the name as a big deal.
Thinking about it here, Professor Zhao suddenly pointed to a few Qingzhuang feathers under the bridge and asked, "Xiaohao, have you noticed that there are often bird feathers in the ditch these days..."
"How fresh, you just discovered the feelings. It's not normal for birds to lose hair." Liu Junhao answered absent-mindedly, wondering why he was fussing.
"No, you see, these are Lao Ling..." Professor Zhao said, pointing to a few bird feathers blocked by water plants.
"Old Ling, it wasn't it that fell during the fight in Qingzhuang?" Liu Junhao speculated when he saw the dark gray feathers nearly twenty centimeters long. These are the flying feathers from Qingzhuang, with a hard texture and are generally difficult to fall, unless they are torn off during the fight.
"There are so many here..." Professor Zhao immediately shouted when his eyes turned to the reeds.
"No?" Liu Junhao looked in the direction of his finger and found a lot of Qingzhuang feathers.
At this time, the two people realized that something was wrong and began to search along the ditch. As a result, they became more and more surprised. The bird feathers found were nearly half a bamboo basket, and there were also many bird bones.
Since the Qingzhuang that he raised often mixed with those in the woods, Liu Junhao did not count it carefully. Now it seems that his Qingzhuang also suffered a lot.
Thinking of this, Liu Junhao immediately went back to the backyard to catch a large bucket of crucian carp, and then whistled in the yard. At this time, the weather was hot, and Qingzhuang would not fly far, so it was easy for him to summon it.
When Qingzhuang, who was enjoying the shade in the woods, heard the master's call and immediately rushed into the yard screaming and snatched around the master's crazily.
Liu Junhao threw the crucian carp all over the ground, scattered Qingzhuang and counted carefully.
Those Qingzhuangs were crowded together and kept running around. If they were to change their individuals, they would probably have been dazzled. However, Liu Junhao was quick to react and had super mathematical and calculation skills. In Zhang Qian's words, he was non-human, so it was not difficult to count.
But after counting, he became depressed again. Not only did his Qingzhuang not reduce, but he had more than a dozen more. He thought he had counted wrongly, so he quickly counted again.
"How is it?" Zhang Qian asked hurriedly when she saw her husband's serious look.
"There is no way to count, there are more than a dozen more. Let's count them later in the evening." Liu Junhao shook his head with a wry smile. It must have been Ye Qingzhuang outside who was involved. These guys have been looking for food in front of the door for a long time, and they are no longer afraid of people.
Unable to find the answer, several people had to walk out of the yard and wander up the ditch. Soon they found that the bird feathers increased in front of the door, and it was normal in the ditch above. I just don’t know when the tragedy started, but it was not found under my nose. How did the three macular skins look at home, seriously dereliction of duty
"What do you think is the water bird that preys on?" Professor Zhao asked after the survey.
"I don't know either," Liu Junhao thought for a long time but couldn't find the culprit. There was no abnormal situation in the hospital recently.
"Can they be those foxes?" A tourist who came to buy eels interrupted. He knew that several foxes on the river beach often ran to Liu Junhao's house, and the foxes also ate water birds.
"It may be a grass leopard. Hasn't that guy come here a few times?" Ermazi said. He came here to pick beans, but when he encountered this incident, the grass leopard seemed to have recognized that Liu Junhao was a Fengshui treasure land, and he would show his face nearby every now and then, but he was driven away by Xiaopi every time.
"No," Liu Junhao shook his head. Although foxes and cloud leopards eat birds, they generally do not commit crimes by the water. Besides, these water birds become very fierce under the leadership of Qingzhuang in the courtyard. When they encounter natural enemies, they will definitely attack them. The noise caused by the fuss is absolutely small, but he has never seen it before.
"Will there be a big fire hidden in the water?" Professor Zhao asked after thinking for a while. The ditch and the dam may have a fire rushed into the ditch.
"No, if the fire head is small, it is not a match for Qingzhuang. If it is big, it will definitely not be able to hide in the ditch." Ermazi then denied.
In the morning, everyone was talking about Qingzhuang, but after talking for a long time, they also said it was a bit unrestrained. As for the pig badgers and otters in the yard, Liu Junhao did not think they were done by them. Although pig badgers can climb trees, they are relatively brave. He once saw those guys running around by Qingzhuang. Besides, they usually run to the fields to catch mice, and rarely come in front.
The same goes for otters, who spend most of their time in the backyard. They are particularly clumsy on land, making it even harder to get out of the yard, and the otter's nest is more than ten meters away from the ditch.
Liu Junhao waited by the ditch for an afternoon, but the weather was calm and he did not see any dangerous animals appear. He originally thought that he would count to see if his Qingzhuang Young Master was not there at night, but he didn't know how to count, but there were still more than a dozen more. Now he had no tricks and didn't know where the problem lies.
I thought it would be difficult to solve this mystery, but I didn't know that just one day later, the culprit appeared.
If you want to talk about which tourists come to Liujiagou more often, Wen Fuqiang and his wife can definitely be ranked first. Since they found that their son became cheerful in Liujiagou, they must lead their son to stay here for one or two days every week. After the summer vacation began, they even ran to Liujiagou every few days.
Of course, Liu Junhao and the others bought a lot of watermelons. They became acquaintances when they came to the yard and were familiar with them. They soon had fun with the monkey.
Wen Fuqiang and his wife became more and more envious of Liu Junhao's living environment. When they opened the courtyard, they even felt a fresh and clean atmosphere. The courtyard was covered with green trees, flowers were blooming, and chickens and ducks were growing. When they were free, they poured a cup of tea and held a book, as if they had forgotten the hustle and bustle of the city and retired to the countryside.
After having fun with Wukong for a while, he touched an eel hook from the window and went to the outside ditch to catch eels.
Wen Fuqiang was afraid that his son would play in the water, so he hurriedly followed behind with an eel hook. He said that this man had also caught eels when he was a child, so he wanted to show off in front of his son.
After hanging the earthworms, he immediately squatted next to the wooden bridge. According to previous experience, there should be eel holes under the wooden bridge.
As soon as the eel hook reached into the water, I immediately heard the sound of water clattering under the bridge.
He thought there were big fishes, so he subconsciously stretched his head down the bridge, but his face turned pale.
"Wow, ghost..." Wen Fuqiang suddenly screamed, almost scaring Liu Junhao's soul who had just walked out of the yard.
Then he looked back in panic, but he didn't expect the edge of the ditch to be too slippery. He stepped on the moss and fell into the lotus pond with a thump.
"Help, help" sounded very miserable, and he couldn't stop hitting the water.
Liu Junhao admired him a little. Why is such a big man so timid? I don’t know what he saw. Besides, the ditch is only deep in his thighs, so can I shout for help?
"I said Lao Wen, what have you seen?" Liu Junhao smiled and reached out to pull him.
"There is something under the bridge... a monster..." Wen Fuqiang climbed ashore and screamed with his fingers regardless of the wetness on his body.
The noise he made was quite loud, which alarmed Zhang Qian and Ye Wanhua.
Several people put their heads under the bridge and saw nothing.
"You're dazzled, please ask Xiaohao to find you two dry clothes to change." Ye Wanhua scolded him and asked the master to find clothes.
"Dad, you are so inferior" also puts some damage.
Liu Junhao and Wen Fuqiang are about the same height, but they are a little stronger, so he is quite suitable to wear his own clothes.
Wen Fuqiang was still unwilling to accept it after changing his clothes. A few tourists came to buy eels just now, and they happened to see him falling into the water. It was so embarrassing. Moreover, he felt that his eyes were not blurred, and there was something.
Thinking of this, he stretched his head under the bridge again, but when he glared at his eyes, his hands couldn't help but tremble. Fortunately, he didn't fall into the water this time.
"Is it really weird?" Seeing his appearance, Liu Junhao also climbed under the bridge and took a look: his scalp was numb, and his hands subconsciously helped the bridge guardrail.
Good guy, I saw a few pairs of pea-sized eyes staring at me in the darkness of the water, and the green light was shining, which was very scary. I couldn't see clearly in the darkness, and I only felt a few big pythons hiding under the bridge.
As if hearing his movements, the guys started to scream.
When the otter heard the sound, Liu Junhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was Baoyu and the others' voice, and the feelings were that several otters were hiding under the bridge.
"I'm dizzy, it turns out it's an otter." Wen Fuqiang saw that it was a few little guys, and his hands stopped trembling.
When they saw the owner, Baoyu and his family seemed very happy and screamed and poked their heads out of the bridge. And under the water behind them, a black hole the size of a washbasin was vaguely displayed, which should be the otters' cave.
Otters shouldn't stay in the yard. When did they run out? This... it wouldn't have dug the cave under the bridge, right? Liu Junhao felt it was incredible. You should know that the otters were nesting on the east side of his yard, and the wooden bridge was next to Professor Zhao's house. Even if a straight line was pulled diagonally between the two places, it was more than 20 meters away.
A few otters probably couldn't do such a big project... Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurriedly turned back to the yard and came under the peach tree to shout loudly.
"Squeak...Squeak..." Soon a few crisp screams came from the otter cave. Baoyu happily poked his head out under the peach tree.
Damn, no, Liu Junhao was completely dizzy.
The day before yesterday, Professor Zhao told himself that there were bird feathers in the ditch, and he thought it was eaten by some unknown animal. Now it seems that the ten-things were done by his own otter.
At noon under the bridge, the sun cannot be shining, and many fish will hide below to enjoy the cool air. The greedy water birds will naturally gather under the water.
Otters are hiding in caves to wait, and it is too easy to catch water birds. This is simply a natural trap
No wonder I heard Qingzhuang screaming several times at noon, but it was too hot and Liu Junhao did not leave the yard to check.
After thinking through everything, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly called out Professor Zhao, and then told everyone about his reasoning. Everyone found it incredible. He tried it several times in the Otter Cave and the Bridge before believing Liu Junhao's words.
But what made them even more incredible is how the otters could quietly dig out such a long cave, with a straight line distance of twenty meters, which was difficult for humans to do.
"Haha, I have seen reports on this from the Internet before. Otters are very smart. We can't see them too easily." Wen Fuqiang lost the panic he had just now. He said, "They build dikes between water and land to cut water into ponds, and make holes and nests. There are several entrances and exits of the cave, usually in the woods one end and two or three meters under the water, so that water and land are connected. Not only are they convenient to enter and exit, they can dive directly into the water to feed or escape. The distance between the cave is a little longer, but it is nothing. Otters can dive underwater for five or six minutes."
"That's it," with the interface of tourists, "the wisdom of animals is beyond people's imagination. I also heard that there is an animal called beaver, which is smart. They can use tree poles, stones, and silt to build dams to intercept floods. It is said that the longest dam is nearly 200 meters long, six or seven meters wide, and more than three meters high. It is even more awesome than humans... and they can build houses, and the houses they build are quite exquisite, similar to the charcoal kilns we used to burn bricks. The outside of the house was made of clay was painted with clay to prevent explosion..."
"Really or false?" This was the first time Liu Junhao heard of such a smart animal, which was even more outrageous than his own, and seemed quite evil.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, please check it later... In the western United States, people specially transported beavers there to build dikes and set up homes in order to control the water volume of the streams."
After Liu Junhao checked the Internet, he realized that there was no awesome x, only a more awesome x. The beaver animal was beyond his imagination. When can it be introduced to Liujiagou several times, it will definitely cause a sensation.
But just thinking about it, this thing is very rare in China. Only beaver exists in the Burgen River Basin in Xinjiang, which is a national first-class protected animal and is simply impossible to introduce it.
However, Liu Junhao was worried about how to treat these otters.
It is natural not to reason with the otters, and I probably won’t understand that the fish thieves in the backyard have eaten a lot, so I want to correct them later.
The otters were not caught when Qingzhuang was in the yard. It was probably not because he had previously speculated that he had a high awareness, but because they were too slow on land.
Okay, just eat it. Liu Junhao had no idea what to do after thinking about it, so he had to give up. After all, otters make a living by fish, and water birds only do it occasionally.
