Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 448

"Husband doesn't seem to see Qingzhuang begging for food today?" Zhang Qian suddenly mentioned her own Qingzhuang when it was getting dark.

No, Liu Junhao only thought of those big guys after hearing what his wife said.Usually, as soon as the door is opened in the morning, they croak and gather around to eat. The snow has been heavy these two days, but it is rare to see Qingzhuang haunting the yard, and today there is not even a shadow of it during the day.

Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurriedly picked up the shovel to shovel the snow beside the chicken coop.I just cleared the snow on the west side of the yard, but I didn't care about the chicken coop for a while.

It was only when they were in front of the chicken coop that they realized that Qingzhuang was all huddled inside to keep each other warm, and there seemed to be no problem.It's just that the weather outside is cold, and they have no idea of ​​getting out at all.

"Husband, why don't you go dig some fish in the backyard and feed them to Qingzhuang?" Zhang Qian said worriedly.These Qingzhuang haven't eaten for a day, so don't be hungry.

"Okay." Liu Junhao nodded and turned around to go to the backyard.

He was also afraid that Qingzhuang would starve to death, but he would not do such things as digging ice to catch fish, so he would just get some trouble out of the stone locks, anyway, there were so many fish there that he couldn't finish them all.

The ice outside is more than one meter thick, and only a thin layer has formed in the stone lock, especially the pond where the spring is located has only a thin layer, and the temperature near the spring is still around ten degrees.The bodies of the black fish are all piled up nearby, so it is too easy to catch fish.

As soon as Liu Junhao entered the stone lock, several swiftlets circling in the air immediately flew over.They were transferred to the stone lock by the owner as soon as it froze outside, so they were not affected by the cold weather.But after staying in it for a long time, the fluff became smoother.

He just shoveled around the spring with a shovel for a few minutes, and got sixty or seventy crucian carp shells, each weighing half a catty.There are forty or fifty Qingzhuang teal ducks raised in the courtyard, which should be enough for them to eat.

The temperature difference is too large, these crucian carp shells are still alive and kicking in the stone lock, and they are completely frozen in less than 5 minutes after being taken outside.

Of course, in order not to arouse his wife's suspicion, Liu Junhao deliberately chopped up a large piece of ice in the ditch with a shovel, and then returned to the front yard with a bucket.

Here just threw the crucian carp shells on the snow, whistled, and Qingzhuang began to run out in a rush, surrounding the ground and looting.

In less than 2 minutes, crucian carp shells were eaten up.In the end, many screamed around Liu Junhao with their heads stretched out.Looking at it, it was obvious that they hadn't snatched it just now.

It shouldn't be, I have the impression that I made too much food just now.

Liu Junhao was wondering, but Zhang Qian exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, check to see if the Qingzhuang outside is also hiding in chicken coops, why are there so many..."

Liu Junhao simply counted it, but it wasn't true, not to mention the water ducks, there are more than 60 of them in Qingzhuang in this courtyard alone, and they must have sneaked in from outside in the cold weather.

The people who came were all guests, so he had no choice but to re-enter the stone lock and catch hundreds of crucian carp shells, and finally shut up these guys.

After feeding the Qingzhuang in the courtyard, Liu Junhao was worried about those in the woods again, and hurriedly greeted his wife, and led Xiaopi into the woods to watch.

It is said that as the population of Qingzhuang increased, these guys became more and more domineering, completely treating the entire forest as their own territory.Ordinarily, strangers are not allowed to enter the forest at all. As long as someone approaches, they immediately croak at the top of their throats.If the person who comes continues to move forward, they will swarm up and peck at them.

But they are very relieved of Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian, they have never been pecked when they entered the woods.

Just in order not to disturb their lives, the two seldom go in.

Although Liu Junhao had pulled the wormwood in the woods once, there was enough fertilizer in the forest, so it didn't take long for the new wormwood to grow as deep as half a person.Now large areas of wormwood are overwhelmed by the snow, and the roots just form snow caves, providing Qingzhuang with a hiding place.

Liu Junhao walked all the way through the heavy snow, and from time to time he could see Qingzhuang's tail half exposed outside.These guys were probably completely frozen, and they didn't move when they heard footsteps approaching.

Seeing these waterfowl shivering in the grass huddled together, Liu Junhao grabbed a few of them, only to find that many of Qingzhuang's legs had been frozen to rot.The Qingzhuang in his own yard is more resistant, at least there is no frostbite.

He touched the crops of Qingzhuang, and they were all empty, apparently he hadn't eaten food for several days.If this continues, it is estimated that even if Qingzhuang in the woods can resist the severe cold, at least a large number of them will starve to death.

As soon as Liu Junhao gritted his teeth, he simply caught these guys and put them in the stone lock.In the past, it was only known that the number of waterfowl in the woods was increasing, but there was no way to count the exact number. This time it was convenient for Liu Junhao to count.With Xiaopi's help, he walked back and forth in the woods a dozen times, catching all the water birds hiding in the grass nests.

According to statistics, there are more than 80 in Qingzhuang, more than [-] teals, and some miscellaneous water birds such as egrets and cormorants.

The waterfowl were a little confused when they were put into the stone lock, but they soon came to their senses.One by one, they flapped their wings and shouted happily around the pond, and swarmed to the edge of the pond.There are countless kinds of fish in the pool, crowded together, and can be caught almost effortlessly.

These guys are probably very hungry, and they look very crazy in the water, no different from bandits robbing.In less than 10 minutes, there were a lot of fish missing around the spring, which made Liu Junhao feel extremely painful.They are not like themselves, who only catch those worthless fish, but catch eels and loaches together.

Seeing that a few guys who were full were about to fly into the seedling pool, Liu Junhao rushed over to drive them away.At the same time, I secretly rejoiced that the rock hen and baby fish fry in the stone lock had already hibernated, otherwise the baby fish fry and baby fish fry would have been doomed if they were to eat like this.

When the waterfowl had eaten enough, Liu Junhao caught them out of the stone lock again, leaving only the frostbitten ones to recuperate inside.

With so much food in the stone lock, many waterfowl didn't want to leave at all. When Liu Junhao got close to him, they immediately fled away with flapping wings.But they didn't know that the stone lock space was controlled by Liu Junhao, so they were caught out of the stone lock without much effort.

After dealing with the matter of Qingzhuang, Liu Junhao was thinking about the otter again, and when he returned to the yard, he ran to the entrance of the cave and yelled twice. Baoyu's shiny head immediately emerged from the cave, with half a crucian carp in his mouth.

These guys should have stored food in the cave early, seeing that they don't have to worry about it at all, Liu Junhao finally calmed down and started preparing dinner.

After eating fried sparrows at noon, I was thirsty all afternoon, so Liu Junhao planned to make a light one at night.He went to the backyard of his house and pulled two handfuls of rapeseed seedlings, planning to fry the rapeseed.

Rapeseed has just grown to about ten centimeters high, and it is when it is fresh and tender. The leaves are crisp and juicy, just looking at it is very appetizing.

Just after washing the vegetables, Zhang Qian felt sorry for her husband who had been busy all afternoon, so she hurriedly dragged him to the living room, and got into the kitchen to get busy.

After stir-frying, it tastes crunchy and crunchy, and the couple are very interested in eating it. Even Wukong, who has always been a picky eater, squeaked and raised his bowl to ask the owner to add more rice.

Liu Junhao was not in the mood to mess with the snow sculptures, but those tourists who were stranded in Liujiagou were different. Anyway, they couldn't go back to the city for the time being, so they simply had fun in Liujiagou.Several people had nothing to do to discuss, and it took four days to make seven or eight unique snow sculptures by the pond.

The days of the past few days are very simple. I get up every day to shovel snow in the yard, and then watch the brazier with my wife to warm up.They got up at noon to cook and eat, and the two continued to hide in the house in the afternoon.

If Zhang Qian hadn't happened to read those posts on the Internet, the two of them would not have known that there was such a big commotion in the village.

Looking at the two-meter-high snow sculpture, Liu Junhao could only mutter in his heart that these people are really patient.It's understandable to build a snowman or something. I'm afraid it takes a lot of energy to craft something like this. It's really boring.

Zhang Qian admired these snow sculptures very much and insisted on asking her husband to take a few photos as souvenirs.Liu Junhao didn't want to go out at first, but was urged by his wife for a long time, so he had to put on thick clothes and go out with a camera.

Before I reached the edge of the Yantang, I heard a voice suddenly shouting from behind, "Liu Junhao, don't go forward!"

He was startled, and quickly turned his head to look sideways, and saw several tourists cats behind the straw stack.

"What's wrong?" Liu Junhao walked over and asked.

"We are catching sparrows here," a tourist pointed to the bamboo sieve a few meters away and replied in a low voice, "I just pulled it twice, and the sparrows stopped flying inside."

"Hehe, this method can be used once or twice. If you use too many times, it won't work. You should change the place." Liu Junhao suggested.Since Mr. Lu Xun wrote this method into the article, everyone has known about using bamboo sieves to catch birds.

"We used to use spirits to soak food to intoxicate sparrows, which is better than this." Dr. Wang next to him also interjected.

"Well, it's okay to catch sparrows with drunk food," Liu Junhao nodded in response, "but the wine we drink now is generally low in alcohol, and drunk birds don't work well."

Drunken birds with food is also a common method when they were young. First, some drunk food must be prepared.

The production of drunk food is very simple. It is to soak wheat in spirits for a few days, and then take it out to dry.

This method is more direct than using a bamboo sieve to set up a mechanism. Just sprinkle the drunk food on the ground, and people just need to hide from a distance and wait and see.

Sparrows have been starving for a few days, and they are already hungry. When they see food on the ground, they will immediately swarm down to grab food, and soon become wobbly, staggering, and drunk one after another.At this time, you just need to go to clean the battlefield. Those little guys see people coming, even if they want to fly, they can't fly away.

With this method, not only sparrows can be caught, but sometimes birds such as pheasants and turtledoves can also be caught.

"It's okay, I think this method will work," although Liu Junhao said the truth, but the tourist still didn't believe it.As a result, he stood behind the straw pile and waited for another half an hour, but no more sparrows took the bait.
