Chapter 443 A New Trick to Catch Sparrows
The two hanging long whips I bought on New Year's Day were not finished, and the remaining one was thrown at home.Liu Junhao originally planned to release it during the Chinese New Year, but now it just comes in handy.

This kind of earth cannon is made by a small firecracker factory in the village, and it is much more powerful than the machine-made cannons sold on the market.He took off a few big thunderbolts with thick wrists on the top and connected them together with cotton thread, poured some vegetable oil on the upper thread, and then began to choose the explosion site on the ice.He had dug mud in this place in summer, and the water was waist-deep, making it easy for fish nests to form.

After choosing the place to put it, Liu Junhao dug a few holes in the ice with a chisel and put the big thunder in it.

Until now, Professor Zhao didn't understand which play he was singing.

"Talk! Tick! Tick..." Five loud bangs in a row scared the chickens and ducks not far away to flutter, and then heard a crash in the ditch.

When the dust settled, he and Professor Zhao hurried to the front of the ice.I saw a crack in the ice surface, and water had already seeped out of it.

Seeing this result, Liu Junhao secretly exclaimed that it was a pity. If it was replaced with the self-made Xiaolong Cannon, the ice surface would have been blown to pieces long ago.

However, it is much easier to hit with a shovel if there is a crack. Liu Junhao directly knocked out a thick piece of ice with a radius of two feet, and then he and Professor Zhao lifted it up.Regardless of the fact that such a large area of ​​ice is not heavy, it only weighs about two hundred catties.If it is not too slippery, Liu Junhao can carry it alone.

As previously guessed, the ice layer in the ditch is [-] centimeters thick, no wonder people can stand on it.

As soon as the two of them lifted the ice cubes to the side of the road, the waterfowls jumped into the puddle one after another, and within 2 minutes the ice hole was tightly blocked, and a large group of green villages even covered the ice layer.

Soon the waterfowl screamed again and flew out in panic.

Liu Junhao thought something happened, but when he got close to the ice hole, he found out that it was the otter.A few little guys drove all the birds away, and then occupied the waters alone, catching fish with peace of mind.

Otters like to be noisy, and with them, waterfowl dare not jump into the ice hole for a long time.

Liu Junhao turned his head and picked up a bucket and threw it into the ice hole. After the guys were full, they threw the fish they caught into the bucket one after another, and the bucket was full in half an hour.

Now the waterfowl had food, and he was carrying a bucket to feed the waterfowl, but he heard a few laughs behind him.Turning my head, I saw a few brats from the village driving over from the ditch on an ice cart.

Liu Junhao used to play this kind of ice cart when he was a child. He used thin wooden boards to nail a rectangular wooden frame, and nailed a section of palladium nails on the left and right sides of the wooden frame. It was mainly used to contact the ice surface, so as to reduce friction and facilitate sliding.

The child sits on the wooden frame and holds the pointed bamboo pole with both hands to apply force, and the ice cart will slide, and the bamboo pole can also control the direction of travel.
"Uncle Xiaohao, I'm coming too!!" The hairy boy shouted in a long voice.He skated fast, with coquettish movements, and he came to Liu Junhao in the blink of an eye.

"Stop, be careful!" Liu Junhao hurriedly shouted.

"What... ah... thump..." The brat screamed and plunged into the ice hole.

"Hahaha..." Xiaowazi and others who followed behind came to the ice hole and laughed.

Seeing the miserable appearance of this unlucky child, Liu Junhao and the others also suppressed their smiles.See if he still shows off...

"Uncle Xiaohao, what are you doing digging such a big hole in the ice?" The hairy boy was also very depressed when he climbed onto the ice.Who among the few of them is skating the fastest in the competition, who knows that they are so unlucky.

Liu Junhao was afraid that this guy would freeze, so he hurriedly let him into the house and put on his thick jacket, and then directed Xiaowazi to go back to get dry clothes.

When the hairy kid came home, he was full of reluctance. Liu Junhao could imagine that the brat was destined to be beaten up by his father when he came home.

After sending people away, he took the time to look at the backyard, and the snow was a little deeper than yesterday.At this moment, the backyard is all in one piece, and the ditches that were originally dug can no longer be seen.

In the past two days, some tourists wanted to come to buy rice field eels, but Liu Junhao refused them all. Now there is such a thick snow in the ditch that there is no way to catch rice field eels.

Shi Suozhong is fine, but Liu Junhao has no intention of catching him.If eels are produced at this time, even a fool will know that there is a problem.I've been busy for a year, and it's good to take a break.

Looking at the tens of centimeters of snow, Zhang Qian was very worried that the eels in the backyard would freeze to death. Liu Junhao laughed at his wife for worrying.When the weather is cold, this thing drills deep into the mud nest, and is not afraid of the wind and snow outside at all.

After staying outside for an hour, both of them stomped their feet from the cold.

In such a cold weather, the chickens and ducks had long been hiding in their cages and refused to come out. Instead, the sparrows twittered and fell into the yard, and a few bold guys rushed into the house.

"Wow, there are so many sparrows." Zhang Qian didn't expect that hundreds of sparrows would fly to her yard in a short while, and a large area of ​​dust would fall on the snow, which looked very conspicuous.

"What's so strange about this, I'm here to find something to eat." Liu Junhao felt that his wife was making a fuss.It has been snowing for several days, and there is no food in the fields for the birds to forage, so they rush to the edge of the village in droves to find something to eat.This scene was not too big, he had seen hundreds of sparrows flocking to it when he was a child.

"Let's catch birds in the snow, how about the method in "Young Runtu" written by Mr. Lu Xun..." Zhang Qian suggested enthusiastically.

"Okay, the fried sparrows are delicious at this time..."

Before he finished speaking, his wife gave him a blank look, "No eating, we catch it and release it." Zhang Qian was purely curious, and had no intention of frying sparrows.

"Then catch and play, but the method described by Mr. Lu Xun is not practical, let's use other methods to catch sparrows..." Liu Junhao suggested with a smile.He naturally knows the method described in the book, which is nothing more than using a small wooden stick to prop up an upside-down sieve, and then sprinkle some wheat grains in it.After the sparrow flies in, pull down the small wooden stick suddenly, so that the bird can be locked inside.

But this method has two disadvantages, one is that the speed of the sparrows is very fast, and often the sieve has not yet fallen down and they have already drilled out of the gap.The second is to open the sieve when the sparrow is taken out. At this time, it is easier for the sparrow to escape from the gap.

With this method of catching birds, it is very good to catch five out of ten times.

"Is there any other way?" Zhang Qian asked curiously.

"You'll know later, I'll do some preparatory work first." After Liu Junhao finished speaking, he turned and walked into the yard.In fact, the things to prepare are very simple, that is, go to the backyard to cut a thin bamboo that is as thick as a pencil, then bend it into a ring and tighten it with wire, and then wrap a layer of broken fishing net in the ring to form a fishing net cover.Put a round cardboard in the bucket, tie three cotton threads on the edge of the cardboard, and tie the other end of the cotton thread to the lid.

After finishing the preparations, he sprinkled half a handful of wheat grains on the cardboard, then pressed down the cardboard with his hands, and the lid above the bucket snapped shut.

"I see... This is the same as the kind of trash can with the lid off. Birds flying into the bucket to find food will definitely be locked in it, right?" Zhang Qian exclaimed excitedly.She didn't know whether it was excitement or the cold weather, her little face was flushed.

"Smart" Liu Junhao rarely praised his wife, and then put the bucket in the yard.Of course, in order to attract the attention of the sparrows, he also sprinkled some wheat grains around the bucket.

These guys were probably extremely hungry. The moment Liu Junhao turned around, a large sparrow had already swooped down and pecked at the ground violently.

But there were not many wheat grains on the ground, and they quickly ate them all, and then a few sparrows flew up to the edge of the barrel, chirping and chirping.

A bold sparrow withdrew its wings and plunged directly into the bucket.

"Why didn't it fall?" Zhang Qian asked strangely.

"Don't panic, wait for other sparrows to jump in." The load-bearing capacity of the cardboard in this trap is the key. If the load-bearing capacity is too poor, one sparrow will fall into the trap, which can catch very little.The load-bearing capacity is too strong, and if there are too few sparrows, the cover will not fall at all. In the end, we can only watch these old thieves eat the bait and fly away.

Liu Junhao repeatedly adjusted the trap just now, in order to optimize the load-bearing capacity of the cardboard.

One, two... sparrows fell into the bucket one after another. When the eighth sparrow flew in, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the lid snapped off.

"Yeah!" Zhang Qian clapped her hands excitedly, and rushed out the door with the camera.

"Slow down, slow down" Liu Junhao hurriedly supported her.

Zhang Qian took the camera and clicked for a while, then opened the lid to release the sparrow under her husband's resentful gaze.

Look at the daughter-in-law uploading the photos she just took to the [-]th floor with great interest, while Liu Junhao was rummaging through books in boredom.He used to be interested in this small-scale bird-catching method, but now he doesn't think it's very interesting at all.In this kind of weather, it's still fun to lead Xiaopi to the field to chase rabbits and pheasants.Winter hares are very fat and have good fur, so they are most suitable for making rabbit fur hats.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he thought of this, Er Mazi called and asked him to take Xiaopi to the field for a tour.

"It's cold, what are you going out for?" It was still snowing outside, Zhang Qian really didn't want her husband to go out and run around.

"Uncle Guangxi wants to see me for anything else. It must be to catch rabbits." The snowy days of the year are the most suitable for hunting. When it snows heavily, the rabbits can't find anything to eat, and they will definitely run around the mountains and plains, leaving rabbits everywhere. footprint.Now is a good time to lead the dog to catch the hare, as long as you follow the picture to find out.The hare has short legs and cannot run fast when stuck in the snow, and is far less flexible than before.And the dog's legs are long, so it won't sink into the snow, and can quickly catch up with the hare.

After hearing what her husband said, Zhang Qian also wanted to go out to watch the excitement, but she knew that her husband would definitely disagree, so she didn't bring up this idea.

Seeing light snow falling outside, Liu Junhao found a raincoat and put it on, then led Xiaopi out.Unexpectedly, the monkey is not afraid of the cold, so it followed up with a squeak.

Liu Junhao knew that this guy was not an honest master, even if he didn't let him follow him, he would sneak behind him later, so he let him follow him earlier.He put Wukong on his shoulders, let the monkey's paw support his head, and wrapped the scarf around the guy's body.
