Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 45
In order to divert Xu Xiaoli's attention, Pang Xu urged Liu Junhao to lead them to the river beach to collect water duck eggs.Zhang Qian also wanted to keep up, but she was a little worried when she saw the little guy on the ground. She was afraid that the little duck would get unlucky, and wanted to lead it out for a walk, so she didn't know what to do.

"It's easy, I'll make you a birdcage, let it stay inside..." Liu Junhao said as he took out a wine box from the house to make a simple birdcage.

It is said that the birdcage is actually half of the wine box is removed, a layer of small holes is drilled on the top, and then bamboo strips are inserted, and a door is cut out with a knife on the side, and finally some cotton is spread on the bottom to make a bird's nest. Just everything is OK.

Although the birdcage does not look very good, it is light and easy to carry in the hand. Zhang Qian happily walked with them holding the birdcage. She likes this little duck very much, and specially named it Qiuqiu, "Qiuqiu" and "Qiuqiu" kept calling along the way.

The girl's mind changed quickly, and when Xu Xiaoli saw the endless reeds, she suddenly became interested, shouting and running around on the river beach.At this time, the reeds were still green, and the branches were swaying in the wind because of the tassels on their heads.

In the past, this patch of reeds played a very important role for the people of Liujiagou. Basically, all the furniture in the countryside relied on it, such as weaving baskets, kang mats, folds for grain storage, and large baskets for things.

But things woven from reeds are not durable, especially reed mats. In the past, every bed was covered with a reed mat.But this thing can't stand the children's troubles. As long as the adults don't pay attention, they will secretly reach out and fold the reeds on the mat, and then remove them along the lines. hole.When the parents saw it, they naturally caught them and beat them hard, but those brats are very naughty and never change after repeated admonitions, so it is very expensive to use reed mats here.

When the life in Daqingshan gradually improved, people replaced it with durable bamboo mats one after another, and this reed marsh completely lost its function. But no one in the ditch thought about it.The main reason is that there is too much firewood to burn here, and the crops in the field can't be burned out. Who wants to go to the river beach to cut reeds?

Once on the river beach, Zhang Qian released the little guy from the birdcage to catch grasshoppers for him to eat. She walked in front, and Qiuqiu screamed and followed behind. One person and one duck looked very interesting.

But when passing a small puddle, Qiuqiu jumped straight into the water and grabbed the meat and wheat shreds inside.

"No way, he can swim at such a young age..." When they saw this little guy swimming around and catching fish in the water, they all cried out in surprise, even Liu Junhao did the same, don't look at him I have seen quite a few water ducks, but this is the first time I have seen the little ones who have just hatched will be able to swim. In fact, it is just an animal's instinct to put it bluntly.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xiaoli's heart was hooked again, and she asked Pang Xu to get her a water duck egg.

Pang Xu had no choice but to look at Liu Junhao, hoping for his help, so Liu Junhao had to lead them to the place where the water duck nest was found last time.

He didn't know if he could still pick up the water duck eggs now, the last time he found this nest, the fur kid followed him, and with the child's mind, he probably wandered here every three days, and he probably picked up all the duck eggs long ago.

Just as they were leaving, suddenly a fat rabbit jumped up on their side, clumsily jumping forward in the grass.

"Rabbit!" Pang Xu regained his energy immediately, and chased after him crazily. He still couldn't forget the rabbit meat he ate at Liu Junhao's house last time. Rabbit meat is edible.

Xiao Pi originally followed them listlessly, but when he saw the prey, he immediately regained his energy, and quickly ran past the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he had caught up with the rabbit that had run more than three feet away.

"Xiaopi, come back!!" Liu Junhao yelled suddenly. Although Xiaopi was a little confused, he faithfully carried out his order, and immediately let go of the paws that were holding him down. The hare also took the opportunity to escape. There is no figure in the grass.

"Mice, what are you doing? Why did you let such a big rabbit go?" Pang Xu was naturally a little annoyed when he saw the cooked rabbit just fly away.

"Look at this rabbit nest..." Liu Junhao didn't explain, but casually pointed to the rabbit nest beside them.

"What's so interesting about this?" Pang Xu asked puzzled.

"This rabbit's nest has lost so much hair...and look here," Liu Junhao reached out and lifted the wormwood next to it, revealing a black hole the size of a bowl. "This is a new hole dug by the rabbit. The hen Rabbits are pregnant, and they are about to give birth to cubs. According to the rules here, we cannot catch rabbits that are about to give birth, so we will leave them a way to survive."

"Oh, this can be regarded as sustainable development. How do you say that saying, 'If you kill a chicken to get its eggs, you must have no eggs, and there will be no eggs next year; if you exhaust the pond, you must have no fish, and there will be no fish next year.'" Hearing his explanation, Pang Xu felt very angry. After calming down, he shook his head and picked up the sour words.

It's been a long time, and the grass in autumn and summer basically changes every day, so he couldn't find the wild duck's nest for a while.Just as he turned his head to explain to Pang Xu, he saw Xiaopi suddenly arched his body, let out a low whining sound, and then rushed out like a sharp arrow.

"Good guy, grass raccoon!" Liu Junhao didn't expect to meet a grass raccoon here. Looking at Xiao Pi's appearance, it was obvious that the grass raccoon harassed his house in the middle of the night a few days ago.

"What's that?" It was the first time Pang Xu had seen Cao Lizi in real life, and it didn't match the picture for a while.

"Guess" Liu Junhao sold a pass, he wanted to see if he knew about this guy.

"I saw it in the book, is it a mink?" Seeing him shaking his head, Pang Xu asked impatiently, "What is it?"

It seems that everything is as expected, this foodie is only at this level, Liu Junhao turned to look at the two girls and asked, "Guess what it is?"

"Is it a fox?" Zhang Qian was more flexible in her mind, but to the point.

"Right," Liu Junhao nodded appreciatively.

"Foxes also live by the river, don't they live in the mountains?" Xu Xiaoli asked a silly question.

Liu Junhao was a little speechless. It seems that they are really not a family. If they don’t enter the family, the two of them are quite idiotic about animals. "Who told you that the foxes are all on the mountain?"

"It's always played like this on TV," Xu Xiaoli replied confidently.

This made Liu Junhao angry for a while, and finally replied patiently: "Foxes are everywhere. They can live in forests, grasslands, riversides, and mountains."

"It's all right now, we have fox meat to eat tonight," Pang Xu said with a look of eating.

What a foodie, Liu Junhao was almost speechless, "Haven't you ever heard of a fox? Fox meat has a nasty smell, and it's not good at all." One can also imagine that this thing can smell a foul smell while alive, let alone dead.

"Oh, that fox fur is also good for making a scarf. Give me the fox fur later, and I'll make a scarf to wear in winter." Pang Xu said again.

"Don't be delusional. Xiaopi probably won't be able to catch up with the grass raccoon. That thing is too clever. It specially drills deep into the grass. Xiaopi has a big frame and can't move fast in the grass." Liu Junhao regretted explained.

Speaking of this idiot, he gritted his teeth angrily. Xiaopi came back after more than half an hour after chasing him out that night, but there were a few blood marks on his body.

Liu Junhao was taken aback at first, wondering what kind of trap the raccoon had set for Xiaopi to fall into.In the early morning of the next day, he let Xiaopi lead the way, and followed the grass raccoon's escape route at night, until finally he figured out that the grass raccoon actually led Xiaopi to the thorn den.

Cilawo is a thorny plant that grows in Daqing Mountain. It grows into a large piece. The leaves of this thing are very small, and the plant is full of small hard thorns. No animal is willing to touch it.Rural people generally use it to surround vegetable gardens to prevent animals from getting in and stealing vegetables.

The grass raccoon is small, so he can naturally get in through the prickly nest, but Xiaopi has a big frame, so he was stabbed with several blood marks, which is why Xiaopi went crazy when he saw the grass raccoon again.

"Isn't this thing too capable?" Zhang Qian couldn't help admiring after hearing this.

"How about calling it a cunning fox!"
