Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 139
The weather was beautiful, and the next morning, the light rain started to fall.

It lasted for a long time, and just after the rain stopped, two little guys ran over with a small bucket to dig cicadas.

Digging a cicada is more skillful than catching a cicada. It is necessary to distinguish whether a small hole in the ground was dug by a cicada. Liu Junhao is a veteran in this regard.

Usually at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Cicada dug the cave to the ground early.Of course, these things are ghosts and ghosts. They will not crawl out of the surface before it is dark, and only open a small gap at the entrance of the cave.The gap is about the size of an ant hole or an earthworm hole, so it's easy to mistake them if you don't look carefully.

Both ant holes and earthworm holes have oval exits, while cicada holes have irregular openings.

After finding the cave, lightly buckle it with your fingers, and immediately a columnar hole as thick as a thumb will appear.

Some holes are very shallow, put a small wooden stick in the hole and stir it a little bit, knowing that when there is no way out, you will grab the stick with your claws, at this time, you only need to lift it slowly to take it out cave.

But some holes are very deep. As soon as you stir it with a wooden stick, it immediately retreats to the depth.That's troublesome, you need to pour water into the hole.Knowing that the cicada is very afraid of water, as long as it is filled with a bottle of water, it will come out soon.

This is also one of the reasons why Cicadas like to crawl outside when it rains, and the heavier the rain, the crazier they crawl.

The rain was just right, the ground was moist and soft, and it was easy to dig out of the ground after knowing it.

Liu Junhao led the two little guys to search around in the yard, not letting go of every corner.In less than half an hour, more than 30 were dug, most of which were dug under poplar trees.

After searching here, Xiao Zeyu took him to Professor Zhao's courtyard to search again.After searching again, they returned to Liu Junhao's yard to continue searching.

I searched back and forth several times, and each time I got something. In the end, I dug a total of more than 90.

Usually when they catch cicadas, they just shell them. This time, the two little guys started to feel awkward. They want to eat fried cicadas, but also want to collect cicada shells and sell them for money.

But Liu Junhao has a way to get the best of both worlds, let them pour all the cicadas into the wooden basin.Sprinkle a small amount of water into it, then move the tub to a dark place and leave it alone.

After dinner, they excitedly ran over to see Zhizhi again.After those cicadas were wetted by clear water, they really quickly took off the thin shell.

"Uncle Liu, how much are these cicada shells worth?" After eating the crispy fried cicadas, Xiao Zeyu thought about saving money again.

"Maybe one or two, worth three yuan." Liu Junhao also picked up a cicada with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.The cicadas that have just been shelled are delicious, with a bite of oil, tender and crispy.

"It's so little, how long will it take to buy a learning machine?" The two little guys immediately became frustrated.

"Don't be discouraged, soon, tomorrow morning I will take you to the woods to hunt cicada shells, there must be a lot of them."

Liu Junhao quickly paid the price for this sentence. When he was still asleep the next day, Xiao Zeyu knocked on the door and yelled: "Uncle Liu, get up and crack the cicada shell. "

Helpless, he had no choice but to put on his clothes and get up to open the door.

A few people looked around in Liu Junhao's yard, and only found three cicada shells. It seems that they did a solid job of mopping up last night, and very few fish slipped through the net.

Although the rain yesterday was not heavy, it was very timely.Standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking out, the grass on the side of the road and the woods in the distance are all shrouded in green.

As soon as they entered the woods, the screams of the two little guys rang out again and again: "Wow, there is a..."

"Uncle Liu, look quickly, there is one on the poplar tree, it's too high, I can't reach it..."

Each of the three held a reed in their hands, Liu Junhao was in charge of the high ones, and the two little guys were in charge of the low ones and those in the grass.

After the rain, there are many cicadas, and one or two can be found on almost every tree. It is not yet the time for cicadas to flourish.

"Quack..." They were busy when they suddenly heard the cry of ducks not far away.

Isn't this my own water duck? What happened?Liu Junhao hurried over with a bamboo pole.

Khan, it turned out to be a false alarm, these water ducks are fighting for Zhizhi.

Some cicadas were unearthed very late, and they didn't climb up the tree until the middle of the night.In the morning, they often have just taken off their shells and wings before drying, and it is too late to fly away, which becomes food for other animals.

No wonder I didn't see any teal ducks making noise when I woke up. It turned out that they caught cicadas in the woods and ate them.

After busying for an hour or so, the three of them finished walking around the woods.The harvest is quite big, the two plastic bags are full, at least a catty and a half.

At this time, Professor Zhao came over and called them to go back to eat, and Liu Junhao remembered that he hadn't made breakfast yet.

"Grandpa, guess how many cicada shells we have beaten?" As soon as he saw an adult, the child began to show off.

"Three hundred?"

"The answer was wrong. We shot more than 1000 of them." Xiao Zeyu proudly took out the plastic bag on his back.

"So many calls in one morning?" Professor Zhao was slightly taken aback when he heard that.

"Of course, the learning machine can be bought in ten days." Tongtong was also quite excited.

Liu Junhao was just about to go home to cook, but was stopped by Professor Zhao, saying that he had already cooked his meal.

Zhang Qian came over to surf the Internet in the morning, and was pleasantly surprised after learning about their results.So many cicada shells can be produced in a single forest, let alone in the mountains. Now she is full of confidence in her plan.

Before it was too late, she discussed with Teacher Wang in detail, and then sent a few students to Daliang Village and Sankeshu Village to inform.

In order to avoid accidents on their way, Zhang Qian also specially asked them to go in two groups, go back quickly, and come back to report after the notification.

The gang of brats in the village also got the news quickly, and they all ran to Liu Junhao's courtyard to inquire in the afternoon.

Of course, they seemed very excited. For the children, this activity was no different from going up the mountain.

Not long after dinner the next morning, students in twos and threes rushed over.As they had been told in advance, they all brought their own food and water bottles when they came.

When it was almost time for people to arrive, Professor Zhao brought out another large bowl of eggs and duck eggs to distribute.This was also discussed yesterday, in order to add more nutrition to the students.

At 08:30, they led the large team to set off on time. Along the way, sharp-eyed students left the team from time to time to pick up cicada shells in the grass.

It hasn't reached the mountain yet, and it has already weighed less than half a catty.

At the foot of the mountain, they divided into two groups according to the predetermined plan.The third-grade students were led by Zhang Qian and Liu Junhao to the bamboo forest, while most of the first- and second-grade students directly cracked cicada shells at the foot of the mountain.

The students were well-behaved at first, but they became active after walking for a while.Along the way, the mountain wind was blowing, and there were green shades everywhere, and everyone talked and laughed without feeling tired.When it was almost twelve o'clock, the troops finally arrived at the bamboo forest.

Summer is the season when the bamboo forests are flourishing, and the green and tall branches cover the sky and block out the sun, and they fall gracefully.

When the mountain wind hits, the rustling of bamboo leaves seems to be a long and lingering sound of nature played by the mountains with bamboo flutes.

"It's so beautiful." Zhang Qian looked at the bamboo forest in front of her, and suddenly sighed.As the bamboo leaves swayed in front of her, she only felt her thoughts swaying along with it.

No wonder Su Dongpo said that he would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo.Although there are no lofty mountains in Daqing Mountain, there is an artistic conception of winding paths leading to secluded places. This piece of bamboo sea makes people fall in love with it just by looking at it.

When watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before, she and her classmates in the dormitory liked the scene of Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong fighting among the green bamboos very much, and they wanted to travel to this kind of place.

Unexpectedly, this wish came true. Zhang Qian asked Liu Junhao to take more than a dozen photos of her with his mobile phone before giving up.

Now it was time for lunch, and the students' stomachs were growling after driving the mountain road for more than three hours, so Zhang Qian asked them to eat before starting to work.

After a simple meal, Liu Junhao took out the samples of the cicadas for the students to identify, and the group all worked hard.

Unexpectedly, there are quite a lot of cicadas in the bamboo forest. In less than 3 minutes, the news of the discovery of cicadas kept ringing.

This bamboo forest is not only big, but also dense, and if you go a little farther, you can't see people.Zhang Qian was afraid that they would get lost inside, so she didn't dare to disperse the team too much, but moved forward in a line of three in groups.

Probably because the bamboo poles are too smooth, those cicadas generally do not climb high when they are shelled.Many cicada shells are only one person tall, and can be picked off by raising one's hand, while some simply peel off the shells on the small bamboo branches at the root.

In this way, the two dug the cicada flowers in the ground, and the remaining one caught the ones on the bamboo poles. Their cooperation became more and more tacit.

"Why are there so many? Could it be that the bamboo forest is more suitable for the growth of cicadas?" Zhang Qian and Liu Junhao paired up. She had just picked it up for less than 5 minutes before she realized that the bamboo forest was abnormal.

Knowing that there are too many shells is too outrageous, almost one step at a time.Since she bent down, she didn't have the chance to raise her head. In just a short while, she had collected nearly a hundred of them. When she raised her head, there were still a few fish that slipped through the net on the bamboo pole.

"It's not surprising. Few people come to this bamboo forest, and when they come, they don't have time to pick up cicada shells. Over time, the cicada shells naturally increase. Haven't you noticed that most of the cicada shells are particularly soft? These were cicadas shelled off last year or the year before, and left on the ground by the wind."

"So that's how it is," Zhang Qian became even more excited after hearing his explanation.Don't look at them delaying for a few hours, but when they go back, they may collect more cicada shells than Mr. Wang and the others.

"Ms. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, come quickly, I was bitten by a snake!" Suddenly a voice cried out not far away.
