Chapter 75 Natural Enemies
I don’t know why the snails were circulating in the village. Ermazi was the first to come over and ask: “I said Xiaohao, are you really going to raise snails?”
"Haha, didn't you tell me last time that I got a big project, did you follow me? Now I don't raise grass snails, so I'll sell you a few?" Liu Junhao made a circle and joked.
This circle was not solidified with lime cement, but was directly covered with blue bricks, and then pasted with the stirred mud and it was done. Therefore, it took only an hour to finish it, and it was only a matter of time to cover the window screen.
"What did I do for you, this grass snail? I want to make me not grow my hands? It rains and wanders around the woods for a long time, and I can get seven or eight pounds." Ermazi smiled and cursed, and then asked in confusion: "Are you really going to raise snails?"
"What am I lying to you? I've done all the snails." Liu Junhao said as he poured a large area of fine sand from the river beach into the inside. He was also feeling the stones across the river. This kind of grass snail breeding book was not mentioned at all. Although Su Nana searched for a long time when she selected books, she did not find a book about grass snail breeding, so she bought a book of various books for Liu Junhao to post.
And here Liu Junhao also guessed that the habits of snails were similar, so he could raise them as white jade snails.
"Snails still eat sand?" Ermazi asked in surprise when he saw him making a lot of sand.
"This is prepared for laying eggs for snails, and I'm also thinking about it in the book." Liu Junhao threw the snails in the wooden basin into the circle one by one, and then threw away more than ten leaves of vegetable leaves.
Perhaps because of the moisture in this area, the snails hidden in the shells poked their heads out and crawled around inside, and many of them even climbed onto the vegetable leaves and gnawed them.
"Damn it, can this thing be raised too. Is it delicious?" Ermazi was obviously moved when she looked at these grass snails.
"Don't worry, Uncle Guangxi, the grass snail I raise is absolutely delicious. I will probably be able to eat it next month. I'll stir-fry some and ask you to come and try it."
"Okay, this is a sure thing. If it's really delicious, your uncle will have all the grass snails in the farmhouse." Ermazi said with a "sighted vision."
Now, I will be able to eat snails in another month. After seeing off Ermazi, Liu Junhao sat on the chair in the front yard and looked forward to the future.
Before her butt was still sitting firmly, the hairy child led a fat little flower dog to the yard with a bruised nose and a swollen face. The puppy sniffed around as soon as he entered the yard, then sniffed Liu Junhao's shoes on the ground, ran to the hairy child, and barked and seeking credit.
When dogs were young, they usually looked cute. Looking at this little flower dog, Liu Junhao remembered that when Xiaopi was just brought in, Xiaopi grew so big in a blink of an eye.
"Where did you ask for a dog? It seems that you have just finished school and your schoolbag has not been delivered to your home?" he asked in confusion.
"I asked my classmates to ask for it. I have been taking it to school for the past two days, but Teacher Zhang hasn't noticed it." The hairy child took out a large piece of steamed bun from his schoolbag and threw it next to the puppy.
The puppy was having fun when he suddenly saw Xiaopi lying on the stone slab. He immediately shouted and rushed up, and began to urge Xiaopi's belly, as if he was thinking about breastfeeding.
"Woo woo..." Xiaopi let out a low warning.
But the little flower dog seemed to ignore it, and after urging under its belly for a long time, it couldn't get milk. It was also anxious and barked at the little skin.
It’s really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. This little flower dog is so brave.
However, Xiaopi didn't seem to want to see this puppy as much as he was annoyed by it, so he stood up and walked towards his doghouse. However, the puppy was still following behind him with reluctance, and finally gnawed the bones in the puppy with peace of mind.
Xiaopi has the habit of collecting bones. Every time Liu Junhao can't finish gnawing on the big bones, it will hold them in the doghouse and enjoy them slowly in the future.
Because there is food inside, the doghouse becomes a forbidden area. Whether it is a chicken, duck or a rabbit, it will "whimper" to warn.
But this warning failed. The little flower dog was still squatting in front of it and chewing. Xiaopi shouted a few times and saw that it had no response. He had to give up and shut his eyes to bask in the sun.
This surprised Liu Junhao, and even more surprisingly, he was still behind him. The little flower dog was probably tired of playing with it after chewing for a while, so he cried and climbed up Xiaopi's back and bit his ears to play.
Xiaopi had no other moves except shaking her head.
"What's wrong with your face? You can't be fighting with someone, right?" Liu Junhao then remembered to ask what the hell is about the face of the hairy child.
"I climbed up the tree and asked the hornets to stung them. A white-headed nest was built on the Chinese toon tree in my backyard. I saw the two old birds catching insects and going back to feed them two days ago. I guess the birds were about to leave the nest. I wanted to go up and take a look, but I didn't find a big hornet's nest under the Chinese toon tree." The hairy child rubbed his swollen face and explained indifferently.
The name of the white-headed primary school he mentioned is the white-headed man. This kind of bird is very common in Daqingshan. It often chirps in groups of ten or twenty, which is quite annoying.
"You kid deserves it. How old is you, you still climb a tree and dig birds. It will make you feel good if you stung your eyes." Liu Junhao originally wanted to scold him, but seeing this kid's skin and thick flesh had to give up. He said it the same as if he didn't say anything. This naughty kid was the one who went into the left ear and out of the right ear.
After talking for a while, the hairy child ran to the house to play with the computer, no longer caring about the little flower dog he threw in the yard. The flower dog was lying comfortably beside Xiaopi and fell asleep.
Liu Junhao sat in the yard for a while, and when he saw the sun was about to set the mountain, he remembered the matter of collecting duck eggs. He took the sieve and climbed up the pile of wood to see. Sure enough, there were three or four duck eggs in each nest.
This made him even more suspicious. Could it be that the duck lays eggs at night? Otherwise, why would he not have noticed it?
His speculation was soon proved. When it was almost dark, a duck quietly flew onto the pile of weeds, patrolled for a few minutes, and lay eggs in the nest.
In a short while, six of them flew up, all of them seemed to be thieves and were sneaky.
Now all the confusion in Liu Junhao's heart was explained. It seems that although this duck was raised in the family since childhood, his vigilance did not deteriorate at all.
The kid forgets the time when he plays games. It's dark until it's dark. The kid doesn't want to leave. Liu Junhao is afraid that his family will worry about it at night, so he urges him twice before he can blast him from the computer.
This kid sat for two hours, staring at the screen, and now he felt sore, so he couldn't see the way clearly. When he just stepped out of the door frame, he kicked the air and fell into a mouth and chewed the mud.
"Did you fall?" Liu Junhao hurriedly helped him up.
"It's okay." The hairy child patted the dirt on his body and was about to go to the doghouse to hold the little flower dog, but suddenly found that the backyard was shining and shouted: "Uncle Xiaohao, come and see what's going on in your backyard, so many fireflies!"
"Firefly?" Liu Junhao was shocked when he heard his scream and walked out of the house. He also exclaimed and hurriedly walked over with a hand lantern.
This bug is so hateful. They came to make trouble in the evening when they had just been stocked.
I saw many firefly larvae crawling on the fine window screen, and many of them kept drilling into the window screen’s eyes.
This thing is the natural enemy of snails, mainly feeding on snails. I don’t know how they smelled and crawled into their yard.
Liu Junhao looked at it for a while and felt relieved. He had already covered the gaps between the blue bricks with mud in the afternoon. Although there were holes in the window screen, they were very small, and fireflies could not get into it.
