Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 16
After Xiaopi gradually got acquainted with Liu Junhao, he became more and more skinny. When he had nothing to do, he would catch his shoes and run around the yard. He would often throw them away when he lost interest. It's barefoot looking for shoes all over the yard.

He angrily taught him a few times, but the puppy got worse and bit his trouser legs specially. After a few days of wearing his trousers, he was bitten into a hole, which gave him a headache. Finally, he had to open the door and let him outside. Running around.

Unexpectedly, just after being released for a while, Xiaopi ran back with a patter, dragging a little rooster that was about the same size as him, and his head had been bitten to pieces.

I can't tell that this little guy is a good hunter by nature. Liu Junhao is naturally very happy. He fried most of the chicken bowls at noon. The chickens in the countryside are all free-range. Chickens are very fat, especially this kind of half-sized chickens, which are usually hatched in spring. When they are fresh and tender, even the bones are crispy.

Liu Junhao had a good meal, and of course the hero Xiaopi was no exception, he kept yelling around him until Liu Junhao threw a chicken leg to him and made him stop.

I didn't expect that this guy would become more energetic after that, and he would take some half-sized chickens to the house every two days, and even brought back ducks twice. I don't know how he caught them.

Now Liu Junhao's life can be greatly improved, but within ten days, the wife of Liu Laosan in the village came to the door. It turned out that his chickens were lost every day these days. At first, he thought it was a weasel. I made a cage, and then dug a few mice in the ground, preparing to catch the weasel.

Who knew that the cage didn't respond at all, but the number of chickens decreased day by day, and even the number of ducks raised by his family began to decrease. Liu Laosan's wife began to think about what was stealing her chickens young.Unexpectedly, she caught the chicken thief after just looking at it all morning. It turned out to be the macular skin of Liu Junhao's family. Now she was very angry and came to the door angrily.

"Our little chickens have been eaten by your family's macular skin, and we have to lose money."

This made Liu Junhao very angry. No wonder people often say that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. After all, you have to pay back what you eat. After apologizing and losing money, he reprimanded Xiaopi severely: Why are you so stubborn? Well, stealing chickens only steals from one family, and no one can see it.

At this moment, Xiaopi probably realized his mistake, and squatted on the ground without a sound, as if reflecting on his mistake.

But then Xiaopi still didn't deserve his nature, but what he caught was not a living thing, but two vain round eggs that were slightly smaller than a ping pong ball and ran to him to claim credit.

This is the old turtle egg, Liu Junhao recognized it immediately.

There are also old turtles growing in the big river. As the saying goes, the little demon in the temple is very windy, and the water is shallow. The water on the river beach of Liujiagou is relatively shallow, which is very suitable for the old turtles to survive.In the past, if someone caught it, they would take it to make soup at home. This stuff is a great tonic.

In recent years, the wild soft-shelled turtles in the big rivers have basically been caught by people, so they have become more and more expensive, and they can't be bought for a hundred or ten yuan a catty.But there are still people who don't give up. People often go to the river beach in the middle of the day to wander around, hoping to see if they can pick up a warm old turtle.

"Where did this thing come from?" Liu Junhao was very excited. An old turtle that can lay eggs usually weighs a few kilograms, and if caught, it can be sold for hundreds of dollars. How can this not make him happy.

Therefore, regardless of whether Xiaopi could understand, he hugged it in his arms and dangled in front of it with the turtle egg.

Unexpectedly, Xiaopi kept calling out and didn't cooperate at all, so Liu Junhao had no choice but to put it on the ground again.

The little dog wagged its tail at him and ran out.

Liu Junhao followed it all the way, and saw that it really ran to the river beach, and suddenly became excited. He saw Xiaopi went straight into a piece of grass, and then kept writhing with his claws, and after a while, his white turtle eggs were exposed. three.

Unexpectedly, Xiaopi actually led himself to the Old Turtle Pit. He immediately became happy, covered the hole cover again, and then smoothed and compacted the cover sand, leaving no trace of being touched.

He ate dinner early, and at seven or eight o'clock, he led Xiaopi to the place again with a lantern, and then squatted quietly not far away, watching the grass. ,

Xiaopi was not stable at all, he kept screaming and running around on the beach.Liu Junhao was afraid that it would disturb the old turtles that came ashore to lay eggs, so he drove it away.

After waiting for about two hours, he finally heard the rustling sound from the grass. Liu Junhao was overjoyed at once, but he didn’t dare to make any noise. The old soft-shelled turtles in the spawning period are very clever, and they will stop laying eggs immediately if there is any disturbance. escape to the river.

In the darkness, the old turtle with a big bowl mouth stopped and went. After confirming that it was not in danger, it slowly crawled into the grass and scraped back the sand vigorously with its two hind feet.After a while, the small sand pit was dug out.

Then a white turtle egg rolled down, one, two... At this time, Xiaopi suddenly screamed in the distance, and the old turtle stopped laying eggs immediately when he heard the movement, and quickly pawed on the sandy soil. Dwdling on it, and then wanted to run into the river.

Liu Junhao had been waiting here for a long time, how could he let it escape, so he immediately shined a light on it with a portable lamp, and then stepped on his turtle cover to prevent it from escaping.

The old turtle shrank back immediately, and Liu Junhao reached out and grabbed it in his hand. It was heavy to the touch, weighing several kilograms, and he threw it into the stone lock with a casual throw.

Then he scraped away the sand, took out the eggs one by one, and threw them into the stone lock. It happened that there was a small piece of sand beside the spring, which could be used to dig holes to hide the eggs.

The old turtle was quite panicked when it first entered the spring water, but soon swam happily in it, catching small fish and shrimp in the spring water with its mouth.

At this time, Xiaopi called Zhenghuan, and Liu Junhao stopped observing the situation of the old turtle, and walked towards Xiaopi with a portable lamp.

But he found that Xiaopi was fighting with a cauliflower snake more than one meter long at the moment.

I saw that although it was small, it was not afraid, and kept jumping and biting the belly of the cauliflower snake.Not to be outdone, the snake raised its yellow-brown head and vomited letters in protest.

But Xiaopi became more daring when he saw Liu Junhao coming, and took a bite at the snake's head. The cauliflower snake was still tightly wrapped around its calf, but in front of Xiaopi's sharp teeth, everything was useless, and soon stopped moving. And Xiaopi, as if asking for credit, put the cauliflower snake under Liu Junhao's feet, and then barked loudly.

Cauliflower snakes are very common here, and greedy people often grab them and eat them. They are delicious fried, fried or stewed.It can also clear heat and remove fire.It's just that such a big cauliflower snake is rare, Liu Junhao happily picked it up, and then led Xiaopi home.

Now he feels more and more that Xiaopi is a good dog. After plucking the skin of the cauliflower snake and soaking it in a bucket, he boiled a small pot of snake broth in the morning and poured a big bowl for Xiaopi. One person and one dog are very happy Enjoy it.

There was nothing to do in the morning, so Liu Junhao moved a chair and sat in the yard to read a book. Who knew that Xiaopi was very noisy today, and kept pulling his trouser legs. He was so annoying that he let the old turtle out of the stone lock. Come out and play with it, the old turtle's shell is hard, and Xiaopi has no place to bite, but he enjoys doing it all the time, patting it with his paws and biting it with his teeth, he is very busy.

While playing, he suddenly heard the sound of someone talking outside, Xiaopi jumped up and rushed to the gate of the courtyard barking.

I saw Liu Guangju leading seven or eight people from the village to come in. Among them was a man wearing a short sweater and a pair of eyes hanging on the bridge of his nose. At first glance, he was not from Daqingshan.

"Xiaohao, you kid is going to get rich." Liu Guangju yelled at him from afar.

"Secretary, why are you making a lot of money? You didn't see me as poor and white." Liu Junhao was a little puzzled when he saw such a large group of people entering his yard.

"This is Boss Wang from the county. I heard that you have caught a big fish. If you want to buy it, they are going to pay you 500 yuan," Liu Guangju introduced happily with a cigarette in his mouth.

The owner's name was Wang Shengli, and he was considered a remarkable figure in the county's aquatic products market. He overheard someone mentioning that someone in Daqingshan had caught a fire head weighing thirty to forty catties, and he immediately became interested.

He knows that this thing can be sold for at least 2000 yuan or 1000 yuan in restaurants in the city. He has eaten hutou, but he has never seen such a big hutou. There are also many people who buy fresh food at a high price, so he plans to buy this fire head, and he can easily earn more than [-] yuan by then.

I happened to meet Liu Guangju in the village, and he happily led himself to Liu Junhao's home with two boxes of Baisha cigarettes.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, just call me Lao Wang." Wang Shengli handed over a cigarette, suddenly stopped his hand, and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, you still have a bastard here, is this wild?"
