Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Six Fire Head Pegs Drilling into the Mud Nest

For more than ten days, tourists were guarding the Baitiao River and slapped the water monster almost every day. Even Liu Junhao admired his patience. He has now confirmed that Liu Wuye must have been dazzled at that time.

Just as this matter was about to fade, news suddenly came that several tourists took photos of the water monster and sent the photos to the 18th floor.

When Liu Junhao turned on the computer, he found that the 18th floor had been hyped up, and the post was directly recommended by the editor to the homepage. In just half an hour, the above reply had exceeded 2,000. This popularity is even more popular than the discovery of the Shui Sword some time ago.

Judging from the photos, the fog on the river beach has not yet dissipated, so the picture is very blurry.

In addition, the tourists were standing on the shore to take pictures, and the distance was too far, so they could only vaguely see two gray shadows floating on the water in the picture.

However, in terms of shape, it should not be a known fish.

There is a text explanation below the picture. Several people also heard the sound of sheep coming from the middle of the river, so they followed the sound and found two "monsters" swimming in the water, sometimes floating out of the water, rolling up layers of water waves, sometimes sinking to the bottom of the water, disappearing. The whole process lasted for more than ten minutes, and during this period, the monster was like a whale, spraying out a column of water more than half a meter high from its head.

Liu Junhao looked at the photos carefully several times, and it didn't look like he was fake.

There is really a water monster... Now his original view became shaken, and then he also posted an excited expression to support him. He never thought that this post would not matter. Many netizens quoted messages and asked him what was in the photo.

"I don't know either." Liu Junhao had no choice but to say another sentence.

Well, although I am good at catching fish, I am not an expert in aquatic biology.

There are many inferences from other netizens below the post. Some of them are serious about it. It must be downstream water pollution, and a certain aquatic organism has undergone genetic mutations, resulting in new species.

Some people also speculate that from the perspective of shape, this thing may be a Chinese sturgeon or a white-fin dolphin.

The white-fin dolphin, this speculation sounds very consistent. Because the back of this animal, known as the "giant panda in the water", is light gray or blue, which is very similar to the water monster in the photo.

Some people soon refuted that it was definitely not a white-fin dolphin. Judging from historical records, the white-fin dolphin is only distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the small river. The Baitiao River should be located in the middle and upper reaches of the small river. There are two national dams in the middle. The white-fin dolphin cannot pass through the dam and enter the Baitiao River. In addition, a few years ago, the journal "Royal Association Biological Letter" published a report, officially announcing the functional extinction of the white-fin dolphin. Several inspections of the national expedition team also confirmed that the survival number of white-fin dolphins in the wild was zero.

As soon as this reply was released, the white-fin dolphin or the Chinese sturgeon immediately fell silent.

However, Liu Junhao refuted below. In fact, this netizen made a geographical mistake. The Baitiao River flowed into the Qingpu River, then into the Mian River, and finally flowed into the Xiaojiang River at the capital of Chutian Province. It should belong to the middle and lower reaches of the Xiaojiang River. As evidence, he also uploaded the map to the post.

After the geographical location was overturned, the Chinese sturgeon was once again mentioned. Because there are also records of the occurrence of two kinds of organisms in historical records of Mianshui.

Throughout the day, everyone was interested and the discussions on the 18th floor were constantly on the verge of discussion. So, if it was really proved that there was a white-fin dolphin, then Liujiagou would definitely be so popular that it shocked the whole world.

As nothing unexpected happened, reporter Guo called at noon and said he was going to Liujiagou for an interview. As the first discoverer of the water monster, Liu Wuye was on TV again.

When the news was broadcast, the white-fin dolphin turned into a finless porpoise in the mouth of experts. Because this thing has strong survivability, Mianshui has been a traditional distribution area for finless porpoises in history. Moreover, it is relatively large and can spray water. More importantly, when the finless porpoise surfaces, it will make a lot of breathing sound, which sounds like a sheep's call.

These descriptions are consistent with the descriptions of several witnesses.

Two porpoises appeared in the Baitiao River. It is likely that the busy water transportation of Mian River affected their normal life and they had no choice but to escape.

Finally, we also analyzed that if this thing has not wandered, it will definitely reappear, in such a large size. It needs to surface to be breathable from time to time.

Many netizens on the 18th floor sneered at the expert's analysis and said it was probably the white-fin dolphin. Liujiagou Mountain is good and has no pollution, and is suitable for the survival of large aquatic organisms.

Liu Junhao was a little ashamed to see it. He never thought that Liujiagou had such a high status in the hearts of netizens.

In fact, he was a little confused when he heard the name "River Porpoise". For the first time, he learned that in the Tamsui River, there were other large water beasts.

He entered these two words to search by Du Niang, and then opened his eyes wide. The Yangtze River Porpoise is also known as **!!

"**zi worships the Dragon King!!" Liu Junhao immediately remembered a legend he had seen in the Daqingshan Township Chronicles.

It is said that a long time ago, when the Baitiao River was rising, people would see a squid on the river surface, followed by countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and black teams were ripped with more than a mile long.

Whenever a wonder appears, the people of Daqingshan will run around and tell each other, and they will go to the bank of Baitiao River to watch.

At that time, there was a Dragon King Temple at the bend of the south water flow in Gaohe Village. After swimming here, the **small would stand upright, half of his body exposed to the water surface, worshiping the statue of the Dragon King, and spraying water columns several feet high into the air during worship.

According to legend, **zi is the son of the Dragon King. Later, he was beaten back to his original form and suppressed in the North Sea because he violated the Heavenly Rule. The birthday of the Dragon King was the late summer and early autumn. The Jade Emperor pardoned **zi for one day's holiday, so it rushed back to pay his birthday every time at this time.

Later, the Dragon King Temple was destroyed by floods, and the **students no longer appeared...

In fact, there are many similar legends in Daqingshan, such as wild boar spirit, crab spirit, etc., most of them are because of something that violates the heavenly rules, which sounds absurd. Liu Junhao doesn't care even after reading it. Now it seems that it is like the Zhenhe Sword. If you push away the mysterious and absurd veil, you will find that the legend has a certain historical basis.

Then he posted this legend online, which can be regarded as providing some materials to all netizens.

Although this mysterious water monster is not a white-fin dolphin, and most of them are river dolphins, many tourists are still interested and wait by the Baitiao River every day to wait for the shooting.

At Liujiagou Primary School, Zhang Qian also organized a lecture on the finless porpoise to give children popular science knowledge.

Liu Junhao didn't have much thought about the finless porpoise. The main reason is that this thing is huge and can eat dozens of kilograms of fish in one meal. His own stone lock has limited ability and he can't afford it at all.

Therefore, it is useless to think about it.

The weather was getting colder and colder. On Sunday morning, Liu Junhao got up at around seven o'clock to cook.

Last night, I received a call from Brother Zhang Qian, saying that I would bring Brother Jianhui here today. In addition, Zhang's mother also missed her grandson a little and planned to stay in Liujiagou for a few days.

After breakfast, the couple immediately started preparing. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. They had chicken, duck, fish and meat at home, so they didn’t have to buy it on the street. At most, they could clean the house and clean the yard.

Just as I was busy, my phone rang.

Liu Junhao thought it was Zhang Ma and the others who arrived. He only found out that it was Wang Shengli when he looked at the number.

"Xiao Hao, can black fish drill holes?" Wang Shengli shouted from the other end.

"Drill, it's cold now, and they hibernate. They usually drill into the deep mud or into the useless holes left by toads and old turtles." Liu Junhao answered casually.

The black fish mentioned by the other party is what people in Liujiagou often call hotheads, and there are two of them in their own home.

"We have a big fish pond here, which has a black fish inside. The owner of the pond caught it several times but failed to catch it. When there is water, you can see it eating other fish inside, but draining the water but not finding it. The next year, the water was released, and the thing came out again. After two or three years of tossing, the owner of the pond had no choice. He decided to transfer the fish pond. I plan to contract it. I am thinking. I want to ask you, how can I get the big black fish up?"

"Simple, dig the mud, this thing must be hidden in the mud." Liu Junhao said, but he complained in his heart: I don't know how to prevent fire from raising fish, this person is definitely an amateur.

Firetou is extremely vital and can adapt to any living conditions.

When it freezes in winter, it can directly drill into the mud at the bottom of the water without eating or moving. It does not appear until the warm weather in the spring of the following year, and the same is true when there is no rain for a long time. In addition, this thing has strong jumping ability. If the fire head is not satisfied with the living water, it will jump out of the water and move out of the water as it rains.

During the transfer, they use the wet ground and their bodies move slowly serpentinely until they find new waters. Many closed fish ponds did not have fire heads at first, but after a heavy rain, they found fire heads in the fish ponds. This is actually the reason.

Fire heads have great escape ability. If you find someone catching it with a net, they will directly pierce their heads into the mud, allowing the net to slide through the body, thereby escaping.

People in Liujiagou call black birds a fire-headed egg because of this. However, this trick is not enough for experienced fishermen.

In the past, rural people had very little fertilizer to farm, and most of them used silt as soil fertilizer. Every autumn and winter, they would climb over the pond and dig silt.

"The bottom is facing the sky, and the fire appears." In the thick mud, you can often dig a fire. The body of this thing is almost a cylinder, like a wooden stake, straight up in the mud, and you will miss it if you are not careful.

However, as long as you are careful, you can find abnormalities. There is a round hole in the mud nest in the east body, with a black fish head exposed at the entrance, and several holes left on it to ventilate.

At that time, as long as the village started to climb over the pond and dig silt, we children would flock to find fire in the cold mud barefoot. Many times, we could find a nest when we dig.

In fact, not only this thing drills into the mud, but other fish are like catfish, and carp also drills into the mud.

The catfish has to grow to more than half a pound before it can stumble. Its huge head is tilted upwards with black and blue color, as if it is broken by a stone. It is fluffy and a large ball of inlay in the mud. This is easy to recognize and is much easier to catch.

As for carp, this thing often makes nests in the mud in the middle of the pond. The cave it makes is larger than the grass sieve used in rural areas, and it drills into the mud with its body slanted.

However, this thing cannot survive in the mud for too long, and it must be ventilated every once in a while. If it is separated from the water for too long, it will die, and it is incomparable to the fire head.

Liu Junhao had no addiction to fish, but when Wang Shengli said that he was a little interested in him. He was thinking about where to go to the village to check it out.

Dig a few hotpots to eat for the New Year.

I promise you again that "Yi Guquan" will definitely be updated, but it is actually not far from the end. In addition, the new book "Records of Life of Post-80s" will be listed in the new book in one week, and it has not been revealed on the homepage so far. I hope everyone can support a few recommendation tickets and collect them. Hulu is here to thank you. (To be continued...)
