Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 39

Khan, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't ask, everyone already knows.

"What's making the noise?" Professor Zhao stepped forward and asked, and he could tell that the "thief" was not a human being.

"I don't know, it was too slow to come out. I only saw a shadow running away from the water channel hole. It may be a weasel. It must be Xiaopi who messed with this thing. I will make a cage tomorrow. I have to keep it You can't catch it, it's too crazy." Liu Junhao said uncertainly, he felt that the black shadow he saw was bigger than the weasel.

There are many weasels in the countryside, and they can be found in the fields, ravines, and villages, and some even make their homes in the villagers' houses in a grand manner.This thing is particularly rampant, and in the eyes of the rural people, it is a bit demonized. The more it spreads, the more magical it becomes, and finally it becomes Huang Daxian.

Weasels are very vindictive, it's okay if you don't provoke them, but once you provoke them, it will be a big trouble.When Liu Guangqun from the village was collecting firewood in his yard the year before last, he found a big weasel in the firewood pile, so he picked up a stick and chased it down.

The weasel was also clever, and got into the depths of the firewood to escape. As a result, the next night, their house became restless. The hens clucked and screamed, and the yard was noisy. I'm dragging chicks in my chicken coop.

Several of the chickens at home were killed overnight, which made Liu Guangqun very distressed.The next day, he gritted his teeth and borrowed a few cages from the village and placed them next to the chicken coop, intending to wipe out the gang of weasels, but these guys were very clever, and killed five or six chickens. Not one was left behind.

In the end, he obeyed the advice of the old man in the village, and put a dozen or so big white geese in the yard of the neighbor's house, and then suppressed the group of rampant weasels.

Although the big white goose is usually very docile, it is also notoriously untouchable and very aggressive.People in rural areas know that they are good housekeepers. When people visit a stranger's house, they don't first ask if there is a dog in your house, but if they have geese.

Although a dog barks when it sees a stranger, it usually doesn't rush up to bite immediately, and it also listens to its master.But the big white goose is different. When it sees a stranger, it will stretch its neck and peck desperately. As long as you move slowly, you will be pecked with a large bruise on your body.

Although geese are blind at night like chickens, they are very alert and can feel the slightest disturbance.Moreover, they are relatively large, and they are not afraid of weasels when they see them, and they tend to strike first. Therefore, weasels are very afraid of them, and weasels dare not even set foot in the yard of people with geese.

Liu Junhao and the others tossed all night, and when they woke up the next day, they both had panda eyes on their faces. In the morning, he borrowed a cage from Liu Laosan's house early, and then took Xiaopi to the edge of the field to find a mouse hole.

Mice are also quite cunning animals, especially voles. The law of survival of the fittest in nature makes them particularly capable in the long-term evolution. Even if people encounter them in the field, it is difficult to catch them, because they will get into them if they chase them. hole.

The mouse hole is a big project, countless times more advanced than the tunnel in "Tunnel Warfare". There are main holes, side holes, and fake holes. The holes are connected, which is very convenient for escape.

Even if you know that there are mice in the hole, you can't dig them in many cases, because those side holes are very hidden, as long as it senses danger, it will quickly escape from the side hole, so experienced people will carefully dig them before digging. Search the surrounding area carefully and plug up all the holes that can be blocked.

There is a tradition of digging mouse holes in autumn. Once the autumn harvest is over, men, women, and children walk around the fields with shovels, looking for mouse holes. At this time, the crops in the field have been harvested, so it’s okay to dig in the fields. .

Digging mouse holes in autumn can be said to be very beneficial. At this time, the mice have basically finished storing grain, and the mouse barn is full of grain, such as sorghum, bracts, soybeans, mung beans, etc. can be found in their warehouses.Smaller warehouses can probably dig more than a dozen catties of grain, larger ones can dig tens of catties, and sometimes even hundreds of catties, which can fill a full long worm leather bag.

It's just that the mouse shed is hard to find. Sometimes you have dug the entire mouse hole, but you can't find the mouse shed. It's a waste of effort.

But Liu Junhao didn't come to dig a mouse hole today, he was going to fill it with water.Now that the fields are full of crops, there is no way to dig mouse holes. Even if the ditch can be dug, Liu Junhao doesn’t want to work hard, because there is usually no food in the mouse barn at this time, and it’s just to catch a few mice, so it’s not worth the trouble. So much energy.

While on the road, I happened to meet Maozi and a few people who were catching fish in the ditch. He yelled at the top of his voice, and the group of brats immediately ran over to catch up with the team.

There are a lot of mouse holes in the wild, so they found one on the side of the road at random. After looking at the surrounding soil particles, it was very damp. This was a newly dug hole, and there must be mice hiding in it.

The first thing to do in the rat hole is to determine the main hole, and then the group of brats went around to check around, looking for hidden side holes and sealing them off one by one.They are all masters of filling mouse holes, so their eyes are very poisonous, and they never let go of a side hole.

After wrapping the net bag on the main hole, a group of people took the washbasin and started watering. After pouring a few pots of water in a row, the mouse hole was completely filled, and a small gray-black head could not stay in the hole. Stretching out his head, he probably couldn't hold his breath anymore.

Sure enough, as soon as the water stopped, the mouse ran out of the hole quickly and hit the net pocket. Liu Junhao stretched out his gloved hand and threw it into the basket.

In this one hole, we caught two mice, one big, one small, and three mice, which was enough to put them in the cage at night, so we called it a day and went home, threw the mice into the cage, and waited to catch weasels at night.

The cage is a kind of wooden box specially made in rural areas to catch weasels. It is more than one meter long and as wide as a brick. There is a spring arch on the top of the wooden box. A piece of polished blue brick was hung with twine as the gate of the mechanism. The whole design was quite ingenious, and it was enough to deal with a single weasel.

At night, he put the cage at the base of the wall not far from the eye of the waterway early, just waiting for the weasel to take the bait.In order for him to come in with peace of mind, Liu Junhao even locked Xiaopi in the house on purpose.

But in the middle of the night, Xiaopi barked again, and even the hen with the coop clucked.Hearing that the voice was wrong, Liu Junhao hurriedly got up and opened the door.Xiaopi, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, jumped out.

This time Liu Junhao finally saw it clearly. He didn't expect that his estimation was completely wrong. The one who came to steal the chicken turned out to be a grass raccoon, whose fiery red fur disappeared in a flash at the mouth of the waterway.

"Have you caught it?" Professor Zhao asked in the room at this time.

"No, it's not a weasel, it's a raccoon." Liu Junhao suddenly remembered the raccoon that Xiaopi caught last time. Could it be that he came for revenge?Thinking of this, he has already determined eight or nine points in his heart.

The grass raccoons are more vengeful than the weasels, and they are more harmful. The weasels usually grab a chicken and run away when they enter the chicken coop, but the grass raccoons are different. They usually kill all the chickens when they enter the chicken coop. In the end, only one of them was taken away, and what's more, they didn't eat any of them, and returned empty-handed after killing the chicks.

It is even more difficult to deal with. It is extremely fast, small and flexible, and ordinary domestic dogs can't catch it at all.What's more, the domestic dogs will be brought to the edge of the trap to lure them into the trap.

Liu Junhao knew that if he didn't catch it, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight, so he opened the courtyard door so that Xiaopi could go out and chase it.

No matter how cunning this fox is, it shouldn't be able to defeat Huang Banpi. Xiaopi is no ordinary domestic dog, and his speed is no worse than that of a grass lizi.

Sure enough, they waited in the room for almost an hour, and Xiaopi immediately started to startle, and quietly left the main room.Xiaopi doesn't bark wildly when he encounters his prey. The last few times he barked only because he was stuck in the yard and couldn't catch up.

It happened to be the moon tonight, so Liu Junhao could see everything in the yard clearly. The fox was also very clever. As soon as he smelled Xiaopi's smell, he ran to the base of the wall quickly, drilled out of the water channel, and Xiaopi rushed out. The courtyard gate chased after him.

"Good guy, let's see how you escape this time." Liu Junhao is quite confident in Xiaopi.

But just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he saw another black shadow emerge from the hole of the water channel, and ran towards the chicken coop on tiptoe.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain?Liu Junhao was stunned for a moment.
