Chapter 82 Looking for bugs
They walked forward ten meters along the sound and saw a half-large wild boar running around in the depression. One of its hind legs seemed to have broken when walking on a mountain road. No matter how hard they tried, they could not climb a large stone more than one meter high.
When the wild boar saw Ermazi, he immediately started to hum and scream, as if begging his master to come down and save him.
"There is another one. Maybe I've gone to the mountains. Let's not worry about this for now. Come and search quickly." Liu Junhao said, looking at the blurry hoof prints on the ground.
As the rain gets heavier and the smell is probably completely dispersed, so Xiaopi may no longer be useful. As soon as a rain falls on the mountain, countless streams will form, which can easily wash away the wild boar's hoof prints.
"Well, let's hurry up." Although Ermazi found a wild boar, and the feeling of loss was not as great as that in the beginning, it was like this. With hope, he would want to find more.
But they were soon disappointed because when they tracked a mountain stream, the hoof prints completely disappeared. I don’t know if the wild boar had wading through the mountain stream or was washed away by the mountain torrent.
Seeing the turbid stream flowing downwards, Ermazi still didn't give up and rolled up her trouser legs and was about to look across the opposite side. Liu Junhao had to ask Professor Zhao to wait here, and he accompanied Ermazi to search.
The two carefully searched the distance of more than 500 meters around the mountain stream several times, but found nothing. It seemed that the wild boar was indeed washed away by the mountain torrent.
So the three of them had to turn back to salvage the wild boar soaked in the depression. Professor Zhao responded on it, and Ermazi and the others jumped directly into the pit.
As soon as Liu Junhao jumped in, his trouser legs were mostly wet, and his feet were deeply trapped in the mud. Ermazi stepped on a small stone when he landed, and when he slipped under his feet, he fell and fell into the dog. When he got up, his clothes were covered in mud.
The wild boar was humming and warned when he saw Liu Junhao approaching him, as if he was opening his mouth and wanted to bite him, but he was soon held down by Ermazi.
Raising something less than 200 kilograms was a piece of cake for two rural stick laborers. They shouted one, two, three, and carried the wild boar outside. Professor Zhao didn't even have time to stretch out his hand.
The next thing to drive the pig was left to Ermazi. The wild boar was lame and he couldn't run even if he wanted to run.
When he got home, Liu Junhao's first thing was to cut a large piece of old ginger, then put green onion and brown sugar and cook it in the pot. After half an hour, he and Professor Zhao drank a big bowl. Although Xiaopi was unwilling, Liu Junhao forced his neck to fill a bowl.
This is the solution for rural people to suffer from wind and cold. The scallion is white and sweating, brown sugar replenishes blood and dispels cold, and the effect is very good when combined with old ginger.
After drinking, the two of them were covered in sweat for a while and the cold air on their bodies was completely cleared.
Ermazi became more and more angry when she thought about it. Finally, she picked up a stick and beat the wild boar. Until his wife said, "If the wild boar is broken, it will be worthless." He stopped quickly.
However, Ermazi firmly disagreed with his wife asking him to go to the street to find a veterinarian.
Professor Zhao sat in the house for a while, then he took an umbrella to go to the backyard to find the insects to feed his two turtle doves. Now it is raining heavily, and many turtle doves have been hiding. It is difficult to find the two old turtle doves even if they go out to find food in the rain.
There are a lot of wild hemp growing in Liu Junhao's yard, and there are many leaf-curling bugs on the hemp leaves. These bugs are very cunning and rarely crawl outside. Most of them spit out silk early and roll themselves into the hemp leaves to eat the meat and leaves. Until the whole hemp leaves are eaten up by them, they will change to another one.
Liu Junhao was idle and followed him to the backyard to help Professor Zhao catch insects. As soon as he approached the hemp leaves, two flower magpies suddenly rushed into the rain, one of them holding a big prawn in his mouth.
Liu Junhao is already immune to their behavior of eating and living for free, but Professor Zhao even exclaimed a few words.
The stems of the hemp leaves in the backyard are thick, and the leaves are as big as a palm. The leaf curling insects hiding inside are not small. The light green body is fat and long, most of which are three or four centimeters.
Many of the hemp leaves were harmed by them, and basically three or four of them could be caught on each wild hemp plant. After just scratching more than a dozen insects, Professor Zhao even said enough, and raised them first and then caught them later.
Liu Jun rolled his eyes nicely, and he thought this was a leafworm breeding base.
When he looked at the circle in the corner, he remembered that it was raining so heavily. If water accumulates inside, his grass snails would be in trouble.
When he came forward, he saw that it was indeed the case. When he was covering it, he didn't think of drainage measures at all. Therefore, more than ten centimeters of rain accumulated in the circle, and a few vegetable leaves that had not been eaten by snails were floating above it. However, these snails were fine, and they all hid on the wall early to shelter from the rain.
Liu Junhao quickly squatted down and pulled the bricks. The soil on the wall had already been swollen by water, so he easily pulled off a piece of brick below, and suddenly the running water rushed out along the gap.
"This snail grows quite fast, and it seems that it will be eaten in ten days." Professor Zhao couldn't help but feel a little salivation in his mouth when he thought of the delicious food he ate last time.
After experiencing wild boars for Ermazi's family for a long time, when it comes to snails, Liu Junhao remembers that he has not eaten morning meals so far. When he asked Professor Zhao, he did not eat either. When Teacher Wang heard their voices, he happened to call Professor Zhao back for dinner, so Liu Junhao also went over and had a meal.
Teacher Wang made a light breakfast. He fried half a bowl of shepherd's purse. Liu Junhao picked up a steamed bun and picked two chopsticks, which immediately made him delicious. Teacher Wang specially fried it with sesame oil, which tasted tender and tender, and it tasted unique.
This is the season for eating shepherd's purse. Whenever Teacher Wang has free time, he will pick up the basket to dig shepherd's purse at the edge of the ditch. Both of them thought it was delicious.
Nowadays, except for the elderly digging shepherd's purse in spring, few people have eaten it in rural areas. Even Liu Junhao has only heard from the older generation that shepherd's purse make dumplings are delicious.
Professor Zhao's two little turtle doves are like each day. In just a few days, the turtle doves have grown to the size of a small fist, and their bodies are sparsely covered with grayish-white fluff. They suddenly look like little hedgehogs who have just left the nest.
When they saw people coming, they were whispering and screaming. Like their parents, these little guys were not afraid of people. Judging from their size, they probably were about to leave their nests.
Professor Zhao was afraid that his hands were very hot, so he did not feed the little turtle doves directly, but instead poured the leaf-curling worms into the bird's nest and let them peck and eat them by themselves.
The two little guys immediately fluttered in the nest, and in the end they started fighting each other for a bug, regardless of the fact that there were seven or eight fat bugs running out of the nest around them.
The old turtle dove that protected the nest also seemed to be accustomed to their behavior, but just stared at the remaining leaf-curling worms and caught them again as soon as they crawled out of the bird's nest.
Liu Junhao played at Professor Zhao's house for a while, and the two of them went to his place to play chess and spent time. After less than ten minutes of playing, the hairy child came to report. However, why did this kid's eyes look red, and he obviously looked like he had just cried.
"What's wrong? Your dad beats you again. What did you do wrong this time?" Liu Junhao asked. The naughty child didn't fight for three days and went to the house to remove the tiles. His dad was so angry that he bit his teeth every day.
"I did nothing wrong, my dad was unreasonable." The hairy child wiped his tears and was born to argue.
"Oh? Then tell me what's going on."
