Chapter 437 New tricks to catch sparrows

The two whip I bought during New Year's Day had not been put out, and one left was thrown at home. Liu Junhao originally planned to put it on during the New Year, but now it is just in handy.

This kind of earth cannon was made by a small firecracker factory in the countryside, and it is much more powerful than the machine cannons sold on the market. He took off a few large thunderbolts with wrists and connected them together with cotton thread, poured some vegetable oil on the noodle line, and then began to choose the explosion site on the ice. He dug this place in summer, and the water was as deep as the waist, making it easy to form a fish nest.

After choosing the placement, Liu Junhao used a chisel to dig out several holes on the ice surface and placed the big thunder into it.

It was not until this moment that Professor Zhao understood which play he sang.

"Everything..." Five loud noises scared the chickens and ducks not far away so much that they flew around, and then heard a rush in the ditch.

When the dust settled, he and Professor Zhao hurried to the ice. There was a crack on the ice surface, and water was already seeping out of it.

Seeing this, Liu Junhao secretly complained that it was a pity that if it were the formerly made Xiaolong Cannon, the ice surface would have been blown to pieces.

However, it is much easier to tap with a shovel if there is a crack. Liu Junhao directly knocked out a thick piece of ice two feet in a radius, and then it was lifted by him and Professor Zhao. Although such a large area of ​​ice is not heavy, it weighs about 200 kilograms. If it is not too slippery, Liu Junhao could carry it alone.

As I had previously guessed, the ice layer of Reed was twenty centimeters thick, no wonder it could stand.

As soon as the two of them carried the ice to the side of the road, the water birds were already scrambling to jump into the puddle. In less than two minutes, the ice cave was blocked tightly, and even a large group of green villages were occupied on the ice.

Soon the water birds screamed again and flew out in panic.

Liu Junhao thought something had happened, but when he got to the ice hole, he found that it was an otter that was causing trouble. Several little guys bombed all the birds, then occupied the water alone, and caught the fish with peace of mind.

Otters like to make noise. With them, the water birds dare not jump into the ice hole for a long time.

Liu Junhao turned his head and picked up a bucket and threw it into the ice hole. After eating, several guys threw the fish they caught into the bucket. In half an hour, they put a full bucket.

The water bird had food. He was carrying a bucket to feed the water bird, but he heard a few laughter from behind him. He turned his head and found several naughty children in the village slid into the ditch with ice trucks.

Liu Junhao often played this kind of ice car when he was a child. He used thin wooden boards to nail a rectangular wooden frame, and nailed a piece of palladium nail on the left and right sides of the wooden frame. It is mainly used to contact the ice surface to reduce friction and facilitate sliding.

When the child sits on a wooden rack, holding a pointed bamboo pole in his hands to increase the force, the ice car will slide, and the bamboo pole can also control the direction of travel.

"Uncle Xiaohao, I'll come here," the Mao kid shouted in a long voice. He was slippery and coquettish, and in the blink of an eye he came to Liu Junhao.

"Stop quickly, be careful," Liu Junhao shouted hurriedly.

"What...ah...splash..." The naughty child screamed and plunged into the ice hole.

"Hahaha..." The little kid who was following behind came to the ice hole and laughed.

Seeing the miserable appearance of this unlucky child, Liu Junhao and others also suppressed their smiles. Seeing that he was still showing off...

"Uncle Xiaohao, why are you digging such a big hole on the ice?" The hairy child was also very depressed to climb onto the ice. Who was the competition skating fast? How could he know that he was so unlucky?

Liu Junhao was afraid that this guy would freeze, so he hurriedly asked him to enter the house and put on his thick coat, and then directed the little kid to go back to get dry clothes.

When the hairy child came home, he looked reluctant. Liu Junhao could imagine that the naughty child was going home and he was going to be beaten up by him.

He took the time to look at the backyard. The heavy snow was a little deeper than yesterday. At this moment, the backyard was brushed in one piece, and the ditch that had been dug could no longer be seen.

In the past two days, tourists have wanted to come and buy eels, but they were all refused to drop by Liu Junhao. Now there is no way to catch eels with such thick snow in the ditch.

It's OK to get the stone lock, but Liu Junhao has no plans to catch it. If he makes an eel at this time, even a fool will know that there is something wrong. He has been busy for a year, so it's better to take a break.

Looking at the snow that was dozens of centimeters thick, Zhang Qian was very worried that the eels in the backyard would freeze to death. Liu Junhao laughed at his wife for being worried. When this thing was cold, it was not afraid of the wind and snow outside.

After staying outside for an hour, both of them were stomping their feet in the cold.

In such cold weather, chickens and ducks had long been hiding in the cage and refused to come out. Instead, the sparrows were chirping and falling into the yard, and a few bold guys rushed into the house.

"Wow, so many sparrows." Zhang Qian didn't expect that in a short while, hundreds of sparrows flew into her yard, and a large area of ​​gray fell into the snow, which looked very conspicuous.

"What's so strange about this? I'm looking for something to eat." Liu Junhao felt that his wife was just a fuss. It snowed for several days in a row, and there was no food in the fields for birds to feed, so they rushed to the village to find something to eat. The scene was not big. When he was a child, he had seen hundreds of sparrows swarming.

"Let's catch birds in the snow. Just the method in "Young Runtu" written by Mr. Lu Xun, how about it..." Zhang Qian excitedly suggested.

"Okay, the sparrows are fried and delicious at this time..."

Before he finished speaking, his wife glanced at him, "No food, we can catch it and let it go." Zhang Qian was purely curious and did not have the intention to fry the sparrows.

"Then let's catch it, but the method described by Mr. Lu Xun is not practical. Let's change to other methods to catch sparrows..." Liu Junhao suggested with a smile. He naturally knew that the method described in the book was nothing more than using a small wooden stick to set up the upside-down sieve and then sprinkle some wheat grains inside. After the sparrow flew in, he suddenly pulled the small wooden stick down so that the bird could be locked in.

However, this method has two disadvantages. One is that the sparrows are very fast, and often the sieve has been drilled out of the gap before the sieve has fallen. The second is that when the sparrow is pulled out, you must open the sieve. At this time, the sparrows are more likely to escape from the gap.

If you use this method to catch birds, it will be amazing if you can catch them ten times five times.

"What else?" Zhang Qian asked curiously.

"You will know later. I will do some preparations first." After Liu Junhao said that, he turned around and walked into the yard. In fact, what to prepare is very simple. He went to the backyard to cut a thin bamboo as thick as a pencil, then bent it into a ring and tightened it with iron wire, and then wrapped a layer of broken fishing net into the ring, so as to form a fishing net lid. A round cardboard is placed in the bucket, three cotton threads are tied to the edge of the cardboard, and the other end of the cotton thread is tied to the lid.

After finishing the preparations, he sprinkled half a handful of wheat grains on the cardboard, then pressed the cardboard with his hands, and suddenly closed the lid above the bucket.

"I understand...it's the same as the trash can with the lid lifted. The bird flies into the bucket to look for food and will definitely be locked inside, right?" Zhang Qian shouted excitedly. She didn't know if it was excitement or the weather was cold, but her little face turned red.

"Smart" Liu Junhao rarely praised his wife, and then put the bucket in the yard. Of course, in order to attract the sparrow's attention, he also sprinkled some wheat grains around the bucket.

These guys were probably very hungry. As soon as Liu Junhao turned around, a large area of ​​sparrows had already pounced down and pecked on the ground like a snatch.

However, there were not many wheat grains on the ground, and they quickly snatched all the food. Then a few sparrows flew up the edge of the bucket and chirped.

A bold sparrow shrank its wings and plunged directly into the bucket.

"Why didn't you fall behind?" Zhang Qian asked strangely.

"Don't panic, wait for other sparrows to jump in." The load-bearing capacity of cardboard in this trap is the key. If the load-bearing capacity is too poor, a sparrow will fall if it falls. This will cause very little catch. If the load-bearing capacity is too strong and the sparrow is too few, the lid will not fall at all. In the end, I can only watch these thieves in my hometown eat the bait and fly away.

Liu Junhao just repeatedly debugged the trap in order to adjust the load-bearing capacity of cardboard to the best.

One, two...sparrows fell into the bucket one after another. When the eighth sparrow flew in, it seemed to crush the last straw of the camel, and the lid was "pop".

"Yeah" Zhang Qian slapped her palm excitedly and rushed out of the door with her camera.

"Slow, slow down" Liu Junhao hurriedly supported her.

Zhang Qian took the camera and took a snap for a while, then opened the lid under her husband's resentful gaze and released the sparrow.

Look at the wife's interest in uploading the photos she just took to the 18th floor, while Liu Junhao was bored and read the book around. He was interested in this little bird-catching method before, but now he doesn't think it's very meaningful. In this kind of weather, it's better to take Xiaosie to the field to chase rabbits and pheasants. In winter, hares are very fat and have good fur, so they are most suitable for making rabbit-skin hats.

But when he thought about this, Ermazi called him and said he wanted to take Xiaopi to the field for a walk.

"It's a cold day, what are you going out for?" It was still snowing outside, and Zhang Qian really didn't want her husband to go out and run around.

"What else does Uncle Guangxi have to do to me? I will definitely go and catch rabbits." It is the most suitable for hunting on snowy days in the year. When the heavy snow is coming, the rabbits will not find food. They will definitely run around the mountains and fields, leaving rabbit footprints everywhere. This is a good time to get a dog to catch a rabbit. Just follow the map to search for the horse. The rabbit's legs are short and cannot run fast in the snow, which is far less flexible than before. The dog's legs are long and will not fall into the snow, and you can catch a rabbit soon.

I heard that my husband Zhang Qian also wanted to go out to watch the fun, but she knew that her husband would definitely not agree, so she did not put forward this idea.

Seeing that there was snow floating outside, Liu Junhao found a raincoat and put it on his body, and then led Xiaosie out. Unexpectedly, the monkey was not afraid of the cold, so he followed him squeaked.

Liu Junhao knew that this guy was not an honest guy. Even if he didn't let him follow him secretly, he would let him follow him as soon as possible. He put Wukong on his shoulders, let the monkey claws hold his head, and then wrapped the scarf around the guy's body.

I have something to do at home recently, and I have updated it several times, so I am really embarrassed.

Actually, I haven’t been idle these days. I have written every day, but I just don’t have time to upload it. Well, I will take the time to go to a night market tonight to upload it all, which looks like about 15,000 words.

The update will be intermittent in the following days, and it will not be restored to normal on the 20th. I would like to remind you first.
