Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 298 Fossils?

Looking at the suddenly enlarged space, Liu Junhao really felt quite weird.

In other words, he really hasn't introduced creatures to the institute recently, and it's because of this change that he feels like Monk Zhang Er is puzzled.

But this is also a good thing... With more space, I can grow more fine hair grass.

Liu Junhao watched along the pond with great interest.The pond bank on the left is higher, so the spring water can only spread along the right side. In many places, the clear spring water is only as deep as the ankle.

This kind of shallow water is more suitable for the survival of eel seedlings. Looking up, there is a large area full of blackness.Sensing movement on the shore, they all wagged their tails and fled under the grass.Previously, this piece of grass was still green, but now it was completely covered by water.It stands to reason that these are not aquatic plants and will definitely be drowned by water.However, for the time being, there are no signs of withering, and instead, they are living quite happily.

With the nourishment of spring water, it is estimated that the withering will come later.

In the shallow water, there are not only seven or eight centimeters long eel seedlings, but more fat big-headed fish.This fish, unlike other fish, lives in shallow water most of the time.However, these guys have a taupe protective color on their backs, making it difficult for natural enemies to spot them.

Along the way, from time to time, you can see chubby jumping and hiding in the grass.Although a rock chicken is not half as heavy as now, it is indeed time to eat it.

Thinking of eating, Liu Junhao was a little tempted. Anyway, there are tens of thousands of rock chickens raised in Shisuo, so it's okay to catch some and eat them now.

Turning his eyes to the stone chicken, he suddenly realized: Could the change of the stone lock be related to this.They didn't mind them when they were just small tadpoles before, but now they are getting bigger, which is quite surprising.As the rock chicken grows bigger, the corresponding living space of the rock lock also increases.It is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and all kinds of biological growth are quite active.Qualitative changes lead to quantitative changes, that's why Shisuo's changes these days are so huge.

Feeling that his explanation was barely reasonable, Liu Junhao turned his attention to other places.

The number of bees in the stone lock seems to have increased a lot, and they are now buzzing and flying around in the grass.

Fortunately, when Liu Junhao transplanted plants into the stone lock, he chose the model of spreading the net all over the sky, so it looked particularly prosperous without giving people a monotonous feeling.

Of course, the most conspicuous things in the space are those clusters of jujube trees.They seem to be very suitable for the environment of stone locks, so they grow extremely fast.I haven't seen it for only half a month, and it has grown to a height of more than one meter.At the moment, it is covered with small beige flowers, and a few bumble bees flutter their wings and dance among the flowers.

Dates should be produced this autumn. I don’t know what’s so special about the dates in Shisuo. Will they be the same as the XJ Hetian dates on the Internet, which are as big as small eggs.

Liu Junhao was looking forward to it, but after thinking about it, it seemed unlikely.A jujube tree is a jujube tree after all, you cannot expect apples to grow on it.

He didn't stop until he reached the edge of the newly added sandy land.This place has not yet been planted with plants, and it looks a bit desolate.

If it was in the past, Liu Junhao must have transplanted some plants from the outside to fill it in line with the principle of not wasting.It's not necessary now, everything will go with the flow, and the plants will naturally occupy this place next spring.

After catching more than 20 rock chickens, Liu Junhao retreated from the space.

I just picked half a catty of bamboo fungus from the backyard the day before yesterday. At that time, I was thinking about what to eat with it. I just wanted to make a bamboo fungus soup.

Rock chickens are much easier to clean up than fish, and it doesn't take time at all.Just cut it with scissors, and then throw away the contents. In less than 5 minutes, more than 20 rock chickens have been soaked in cold water.

Known as the "King of Hundred Babies", this stuff is naturally rich in nutrition. Whether it is braised in soy sauce, steamed or made into soup, it is full of fragrance and mellow.

Liu Junhao chopped the partridges into small pieces and put them into the pan to fry them. When they were half-cooked, he added bamboo fungus, then added water, added salt and seasonings, and finally added some fungus, vermicelli, and dripped a little sesame oil.Soon, a tangy fragrance began to spread in the kitchen.

Within 2 minutes of "Zhizhi", the monkey ran in bouncing.You don't need to guess, you know it must be attracted by this smell.

It is not without reason that rock chicken is known as the top grade of mountain treasures. This taste, not to mention monkeys, even Liu Junhao himself feels that it is a pleasure to taste it.

Use a spoon to scoop up half a spoonful of hot soup and put it into a bowl. With chopsticks, the fresh and tender stone chicken will slide into your mouth with boiling hotness.

The rock chicken has already been boiled, and the tongue and tongue are stirred gently, and a fresh fragrance permeates the abdomen and lungs. It is indeed extremely delicious.

After taking another sip of fresh soup, the hairs all over his body seemed to stretch out.

Produced by Shisuo, it really is a high-quality product, Liu Junhao couldn't help but smacked his lips and called out "cool!"

Huffing and sneezing, he didn't care about burning his mouth, so he drank up half a bowl of hot soup.The monkey became anxious when he saw that he had no part in it. Holding the big bowl, he screamed on the ground and almost jumped onto the stove.

Originally planned to wait for his wife to come back to eat together, but seeing Wukong was so eager, Liu Junhao had to get half a bowl for him and drove out of the house.The rest... want to scoop up another bowl and taste it?Anyway, there is so much in the pot that my wife can't finish it even when she comes back.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a shout from outside the door: "Uncle Xiaohao, Uncle Xiaohao, are you at home?"

"Who is it?" Liu Junhao walked out the door, only to see the little boy running in sweating profusely.

"Hurry up and take the shovel and follow me to school, something has happened..." The guy turned around and ran towards Professor Zhao after half-speaking.

"What's the matter, do you want to get a shovel?" Liu Junhao was shocked, he didn't mean to fight.

"Grandpa Zhao, are you at home?" Xiao Wazi shouted at Professor Zhao's courtyard again.

"Here we come..." Mr. Zhao also came out of the room in response.He was reading the materials just now, and he didn't even take off his glasses.

"Take the shovel and follow me to school."

"You brat, what's the matter, tell me quickly." Seeing that he was about to run back, Liu Junhao couldn't bear it anymore, and stretched out his hand to grab him.Every time this guy speaks in a hurry, he doesn't match his words, which makes people want to die in a hurry.The last time the hairy boy met the water monkey, that was the case. When he heard that he was dragged down by the water monkey, the adults almost didn't freak out, but they didn't know it was all right until they got there.

"Oh...we dug up a blue thing when get out of class was over...it looked like a rock, very weird. Teacher Zhang said it might be a fossil of some animal, and she told me to ask you to take a shovel and go take a look." Wazi finally understood.

"Fossils?" Professor Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, "Do you still have fossils in Liujiagou?"

"This... seems to be there?" Liu Junhao replied uncertainly.He remembered listening to his teacher when he was in elementary school, saying that this mountain was an ocean millions of years ago, and there must be fossils in it.The students were very excited when they heard this, and ran wildly up the mountain, trying to pick up a few fossils to see what happened.Not to mention, the hard work paid off, and they really found a lot of weird things.Liu Qiyong dug a section of three to four centimeters long and white as jade in a depression.And Liu Junhao also picked up a few polished stones at that time, and the traces of artificial polishing on those things were obvious.Although there was no history class in elementary school at that time, there was a "Society", which mentioned the origin of Chinese civilization.There are a few photos of polished stone tools on it. They compared them and found that they were very similar to the stones in Liu Junhao's hands, so they asked the teacher to judge together.

It's a pity that the teacher's education is too low, he didn't even graduate from junior high school, let alone received any higher education, how could he know these things.The fossils he talked about before were just to enliven the enthusiasm of the class. Of course, he couldn't tell the reason for identifying the few stones. In the end, he just nodded and said it might be.

Children are relatively simple. Although the teacher did not give an affirmative answer, Liu Junhao was still quite excited, thinking that he had found a treasure, so he deliberately put this thing in the house and hid it.As a result, one day after school, old man Liu cleaned up the house and found that these stones were in the way, so he threw them all into the ditch in front of the door.

When Liu Junhao came back from school, he didn't see the stone. He even cried a lot. He jumped into the water to touch the stone, but he couldn't find it for a long time.

As for the jade-like thing in Liu Qiyong's hand, it is said that his father threw it under the stove and burned it the next day.According to his father, that thing is just a big piece of dog tooth, it is unlucky, if you see it, you should burn it.

The few children didn't believe it, and firmly believed that it was a fossil. After all, they had never seen such a large dog tooth.They later took advantage of the mountain again on Sunday to organize several large-scale "excavations" in order to find more fossils.It's a pity that their method of taking chances is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, and naturally it is impossible to gain anything.

As he grew older, Liu Junhao also felt that his behavior at the beginning was a bit ridiculous.Now when Professor Zhao mentioned it, all thoughts flooded into my mind.

"It's not true that there are fossils, let's go and have a look." Mr. Zhao became excited when he heard that he might have found a fossil.

"Well, that fossil is so big that neither of us can hold it together. The "Yellow River Elephant" we just learned...is bigger than that fossil." Xiaowazi also interjected.

"Could it be a big rock? Where did you dig it?" Unlike Professor Zhao, Liu Junhao was more skeptical.If it were really a fossil, it wouldn't be so easy for them to find it.

"On the school playground, the hairy kid after class asked us to make a bow... When I was digging the nest of the bow with a small shovel, I dug up a blue thing. At that time, I thought it was some kind of treasure. The more they dug, the bigger they got, and alarmed Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang..." The brat managed to catch his breath and speak coherently.

Daju is also a game often played by rural children. There are many ways to play it. The most popular one is similar to throwing a glass ball and requires three people to participate.Dig three nests on the ground, and then each find three small stones to hide in their hands.Before the game starts, everyone is assigned a set of numbers.For example, you are "one four seven", I am "two five eight", and he is "three six nine".Everyone shouted "Start" and spread out the hands holding the stones, and decided who would start the bow first according to the number of stones in the three hands.

However, the glass ball is too small to play with, and the average child would rather use mud to make a ball.The method of making Ju is very simple. Knead the wet mud into a ball, and then coat it with a thick layer of Chinese wolfberry tendon and hang it in the shade to dry.After drying, it is very strong and will not break no matter how you drop it.

It was not much fun before, this game is quite popular, and the winner can often get the Ju in the opponent's hand.It's just a mud ball, but a group of children are having fun playing it, and even because of other people's stupidity, they make a big shot.I remember that Liu Qiyong's bowing skills are very high, and Liu Junhao once asked him to learn the art.

"We have been digging down, and we have been digging for more than ten minutes and haven't dug it out yet."

After Xiaowazi finished speaking, Liu Junhao also muttered, maybe he really dug up a fossil.

"Let's take the shovel and go there, and then we'll know what it is at a glance." Professor Zhao came to his senses at this moment, it's useless for the two to argue here, let's talk about it after seeing the real thing.

The school was very close to the village, and within 3 minutes, the two rushed into the campus.A large group of children surrounded the playground, and it seemed that none of the classes were in class.Think about it too, the teacher is gone, so what class is there.

Seeing them come in, the children gave way one after another.

A jagged and abrupt thing appeared in the middle of the pit. The excavated part could barely be called a cylinder, but the upper part was rough, like the bones of something.What's even more puzzling is that there are many small winding holes in the middle.

"This thing..." Liu Junhao was dumbfounded immediately.Although he only glanced at it, he was sure it wasn't a stone. Liujiagou was mostly flax, and it couldn't grow like this at all.

"Is it really a fossil?" Professor Zhao was also a little confused when he saw that burly thing...he had never seen it before.

"Hmm... I think it looks like a fossilized tree, how round it looks." Zhang Qian pointed to the oval plane above and said.

"It is said that the fossils are very hard, let me give it a try." Liu Junhao said, hacked on it with a shovel, and the powder immediately splashed on it.

"If it's really a fossil, don't break it. Let's dig carefully..." Professor Zhao was eager to see the true face of Mount Lu, so he picked up the shovel.

Liu Junhao also had this intention, and got busy following him.

Not to mention that this thing is really big enough, the two of them originally dug along the side, but they had to stop when they were knee-deep...the space for throwing soil was too small, and the shovel couldn't be used at all.

"If you don't want to go to the village and call a few people, it seems that the two of us can't do it..." The more Mr. Zhao dug, the more he dug, the depth is nearly one meter deep, why hasn't he dug to the bottom yet.

"It's okay." Liu Junhao's doubts deepened. If it was really a fossil tree, it would be too rough.Judging from the cross-section of the cylinder, it is estimated that several people will need to hug each other at first. Liujiagou has never seen such a big tree.

From this month to now, I owe nearly [-] words, and I will try to make up for it in the next few days.In the past two days, I don't know what's going on, but I have a headache when I sit in front of the computer.
