Chapter 472 Discovery of Earth Element
Maybe it was everyone's enthusiasm that drove them, and soon two "hummingbirds" flew from other places. They danced tirelessly among the flowers and showed no sign of stopping.

"Why does this hummingbird have tentacles?" At this time, a hummingbird suddenly flew low, and the sharp-eyed tourist exclaimed.When he shouted, someone soon found out that something was wrong. There were two tentacles with swollen tips on this guy's head, and after careful inspection, it seemed that he didn't see its claws.

What the hell is it... Everyone was even more interested, and urged Liu Junhao to catch it and study it.

Obeying public opinion, Liu Junhao immediately went home and brought a net bag, waved it twice among the flowers, and caught a "hummingbird".

"It turned out to be a moth." As soon as he touched it with his hand, it was immediately stained with a lot of powder, which is something that birds don't have at all.But looking at its shape at a close distance, it looks like a unique big moth.

Turning over the belly of this thing, everyone found something unusual again. It didn't have bird claws, and it had many feet.

Immediately, a tourist took out his mobile phone and entered keywords such as "hummingbird, moth" in Qiandu, and then shouted, "I found it, I found it, this is a hummingbird hawk moth, not a hummingbird."

Listening to his introduction, all the tourists took out their mobile phones to surf the Internet.

After reading the website, they realized that this thing is really called a hummingbird hawk moth, which has nothing to do with hummingbirds, and it is also distributed in China.

They are not the only ones who admit their mistake. Many people mistake this for a hummingbird.

Bai was happy, but Zhang Qianxiao was a little depressed.

"It's nothing, at least you did find something new, at least you haven't heard of hummingbird hawk moths in Liujiagou before." Liu Junhao hurriedly comforted.

Others' rapeseed is harvested at the beginning of May, but my own plant is half a month late, but I have to harvest early.

But there is no way, the rapeseed is already mature, so we can't let it be fried in the ground.

In fact, not much was planted in this piece of rapeseed, and Mr. Zhao came to help when harvesting rapeseed, and the two of them finished harvesting in half a day.

Looking at the rapeseed horn longer than his index finger, Liu Junhao felt a sense of accomplishment. He estimated that these in the yard should be able to harvest [-] catties of rapeseed, enough for the couple to eat.

After a while, you can also plant some sesame seeds, and then get a few catties of small ground sesame oil for seasoning.

Liu Junhao didn't put the freshly harvested rapeseed in the yard to dry, but threw it directly into the room upstairs, planning to dry it before threshing.

While carrying rapeseed into the house, he took the time to look at the swiftlets under the eaves.After a year, these dozens of swiftlets have adapted to the environment of Daqingshan. As the weather gets warmer, they start to lay eggs one after another.

Last year's bird's nests were all eaten by Zhang Qian. This year, Liu Junhao had already planned to keep a few for Huo Jun.If it is not someone else, if you want to eat bird's nest, you have to go online to buy it.

But now there are tourists coming to his door begging for purchases. For these, Liu Junhao can only temporarily refuse.The bird's nest produced by more than a dozen swallows is not enough for the family, so it will take at least a few years to sell it to the outside world.He can only make this plan after the swiftlet population expands.
After he was busy, he saw that it was still early, and Liu Junhao led Chitu to graze on the embankment again.

The weather at the end of April has become hot, and the little swallows under the eaves fly in and out from time to time, making their nests with mud and grass roots.

Originally there was an old nest under the eaves, but it was thrown away by Wukong at some point, and these little guys had to do it again.

The chickens and ducks in the courtyard have already enjoyed the shade in the woods outside the door, so the courtyard is relatively quiet.

In the secluded courtyard, the green morning glory climbed the fence, and the purple flowers were everywhere, which was very eye-catching.Butterflies and bumble bees fly over it from time to time.

A few red-billed jades are hiding on the branches of the neem tree, combing each other's feathers.

Her husband was busy outside, but Zhang Qian leisurely took pictures in the yard.There is no way, she is focusing on protecting animals now, and Liu Junhao refuses to give up her hand if she wants to.

After taking a few photos, Zhang Qian continued to enter the room and sit in front of the computer, casually browsing the web, news, and pictures, pouring water into the forum, and thinking about it.

From time to time, he stretched out his hand to the plate next to him, and the plate full of melon seeds had bottomed out.This is what my husband just cooked a few days ago, just to let her pass the time.

Zhang Qian was certainly moved by her husband's consideration of himself so carefully...the only way to express it is to wipe out this delicacy one by one.

After eating melon seeds, wash your hands, pour a glass of honey water, and continue pouring water on the net.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock at noon that she got up and went to the kitchen to cook.There is an induction cooker and a gas stove at home, but the food tastes bad, so I still cook it with firewood, although it takes a lot of work.

There is still more than a month before the due date, and her husband has given her a complete rest, and she doesn't even go to class again.

There are not enough teachers in the school, so Liu Junhao can only help to substitute for the class. He is busy these days.

Seeing this, Zhang Qian naturally wanted to do what she could to help.

She had just lit the fire and grabbed a handful of firewood in her hand. Before she could fill the pot, she suddenly felt something squirming in her hand.Subconsciously looking at it, I stood up from the stool in fright.

In his hand, he actually caught three black hard beetles, each of which was as big as a thumb.Turning his head again, he found a group of black people in the pile of firewood.

"Wukong, Wukong" Zhang Qian shouted at the top of his voice, but the monkey didn't answer.

Bai was kind to this guy before, but I couldn't find it when I was using it.She could only shout a little bit, but still did not get an answer.

Helpless, Zhang Qian had no choice but to look at the most lazy guy in the house - the mouse, and ask him to help him catch bugs in the kitchen.

It should be said that Zhang Qian is not very afraid of this kind of black insects, but there are so many of them, there are hundreds of them, it is scary to think about it, how dare she stay here any longer.

The little clouded leopard was called by its master, and thought it was going to feed itself, so it ran into the kitchen.Seeing the owner pointing to the haystack, he didn't say anything.It gave a low cry and lay down with hopeful eyes.

Let you catch bugs and still sleep?Zhang Qian wanted to pick up this guy's skin and teach him a lesson.But still relying on this guy to catch bugs, she could only yell in a low voice, and finally awakened the mouse.

This time the little guy saw the bugs, and stretched out his paws to flop among the firewood.After working for a long time without any results, Zhang Qian reluctantly lifted it out.

It was a mistake to call the guy to come in. It is better to put out the fire and wait for the husband to finish his work.

"Husband, take a quick look, our kitchen is full of bugs, a lot of big black beetles." Liu Junhao just entered the yard, before he tied up the red rabbit, he was dragged into the kitchen by his wife.

Fortunately, Chitu was obedient, he just patted the horse's butt twice, and this guy obediently got into the stable to rest.

"Where?" Liu Junhao searched around, but found no beetle.

"It's just under the firewood. Look, there's a..." Following Zhang Qian's exclamation, Liu Junhao also saw a black guy.

"What did I do at the time, this guy was called Tu Yuan, and it was a Chinese herbal medicine. It's okay, it doesn't bite people, we often caught it when we were young. Don't look at this thing's ugly appearance, but it's a good material for stewing chicken soup. Remove the head and tail of Tu Yuan and stew it with the muscles , the taste is very sweet. Adding goji berries to the wine can also cure diseases.” Liu Junhao said and went back to the house to find an empty Coke bottle, and began to search among the firewood piles.

Originally thought that there were at most a dozen earth coins here, but who knew what my wife said was not an exaggeration at all, and she even said less.After clearing the pile of firewood in the kitchen, there were nearly a hundred of them.

When did so many earth elements hide here, could it be that the spring water attracted them here... Liu Junhao absolutely does not admit that he is lazy and hasn't cleared the firewood pile for nearly half a year.

In the past, there were adobe houses in the countryside. In addition to looking for scorpions and centipedes to sell for money, there were also earth yuan.Like scorpions and centipedes, Tuyuan likes to hide in dark and humid places, and come out at night when no one is around.

Every summer, especially when it has just rained, after it gets dark at [-] o'clock, Tu Yuan will collectively come out from the firewood piles in the cracks of the wall to look for food, and as soon as they come out, there will be a large group, densely packed.

This thing is much safer than catching scorpions and centipedes, so children in rural areas like to play with it.You must move quickly to catch the soil yuan. If you are a little slower, you can catch four or five at most, and the rest will all escape into the cracks in the adobe wall or into the firewood pile.

In the first period of time, the rural people didn't know that this thing was precious, so they caught it and fed it to chickens.

Then one year, the bug suddenly became valuable.One dime apiece, and at most one time someone in the village caught more than 1000 of them in one night and sold them for more than 100 yuan. This incident caused a great sensation in the village at that time.On the second night, men, women and children all appeared on the stage. Everyone held flashlights and plastic buckets and searched along the corners, seams and firewood piles of the adobe walls of various households in the village. in a plastic bucket.

It is often because you have just asked me to appear on the stage, and you can catch a lot of fish that slipped through the net every time.

However, it is not safe to carry a plastic bucket, and Tu Yuan can easily crawl along the side of the bucket.Later, people thought of a way to touch the oil on the wall of the barrel, so that the tuyuan would slide down when it climbed up.

At that time, people could catch seven or eight yuan in one night. Later, I don’t know who was the first to discover that using watermelon rind and chicken dung to trap tuyuan.So at night, the walls were covered with watermelon rinds and chicken droppings.People often step on the watermelon rind and stumble when slandering and catching Tuyuan, or see something black on the ground. They are afraid of being snatched by others, so they rush up to catch it, but they feel hot in their hands and curse loudly, "Who is that?" The thin chicken shit he just put in!"

Immediately there was laughter all around...

Liu Junhao has just entered the first grade, and basically belongs to the kind who doesn't do homework. Every night, he meets with a few friends to catch money.The yard of his house is large, and there are several piles of firewood in the yard, so there is a lot of earth at night.When the tuyuan is caught, it can be sold after being scalded to death in boiling water and dried in the sun.

After a summer of blustery catches, the thing quickly dwindled to no such large size anymore.Later, most of the adobe houses in the village were converted into brick and tile houses, and the soil yuan also lost its natural breeding place, which is rare in rural areas.Occasionally, there are only one or two at most, and there is no such thing as a large area of ​​darkness at the base of the wall.
