Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 19
"Uncle Xiaohao, Uncle Xiaohao, look, this is an old pole I grabbed behind your yard. Look at how big it is and how long it is." The hairy boy ran to Liu Junhao, who was dozing off under the tree, as if asking for credit. , and handed over the green grasshopper in his hand.

"Well, it's so big. Feed it to the old turtle. It's not enough to burn your teeth." Liu Junhao said impatiently. Catching crickets in the grass, making a fuss, and every time it was meal time, his mother would grab the crickets and drag them back.

Since the torrential rain, the water from the Huotou Pond has spread all over the yard, and Liu Junhao has saved watering the vegetable fields.

But before he had time to get excited, the grass in his backyard grew crazily as if it had been fertilized, and even the crickets, grasshoppers and other insects were huge, and fell from the poplar a few days ago. A caterpillar came down, as thick as a little finger, and he was stunned when he saw it.

However, as a result, there were more birds on the trees in Liu Junhao's house. Birds such as Gray Maza and White-headed Birds were in a commotion, chirping and chirping in the trees early in the morning.

Looking at the weeds all over the yard, he also had some headaches, wondering if raising a sheep would save him a lot of trouble.

It happened that there was a family in the village who had half-sized lambs to sell, so Liu Junhao bought one for 200 yuan, and then left it in the backyard. Just eat vegetables in the courtyard.

Even the few half-sized rabbits were released. This little thing saw people shortly after opening its eyes. Plus, the fur kids are often fed by pulling grass, so they are not very afraid of people. After they are released, they have been Running around in the yard.

Xiaopi didn't know if it was because he followed him to eat the vegetables nourished by the spring water or something, he became smarter and understood his intentions in many things, the people who visited Liu Junhao's house couldn't help but praise him People can feed dogs.

The eels in the spring grew bigger and bigger, and even began to give birth to many small eels. Before these small eels grew up, other eels had already killed many of them. He knew that this was due to the lack of food. The phenomenon of biting and cannibalizing each other, which made Liu Junhao feel distressed.

The scope of the spring water is so large, and there are more and more rice field eels. It is not an option to continue like this, but he had to dig a few long ditches in the yard, fish out all the bigger ones, and throw them into the pool. .

This group of eels nourished by the spring water seems to be very aggressive. It is often seen that the eels leap half a foot high and swallow the caterpillars on the hemp leaves.

In order to keep these rice field eels well, he even went to the bookstore in the town to order a few books on raising rice field eels, and thought about it carefully.

Others are busy harvesting and threshing these days, but he seems bored, so he simply led Xiaopi to the mountains for a stroll. When he went out, he happened to meet a furry boy and a few normal-sized children going crazy on the embankment. He was about to enter the mountain, and one after another became interested, and followed behind Liu Junhao sternly.

This time is the busiest time of the year in the mountains, when all kinds of trees are growing luxuriantly and wild vines cover the sky.

This group of brats have not calmed down since the moment they entered the mountain. They kept picking up some eggplants on the hillside in the field to eat. This is a common wild fruit in Daqingshan. The taste is average. Liu Junhao often ate it when he was a child. Dyed purple red.

There are many wild fruits in the mountains, and there are many edible ones, such as wild chestnuts, wild grapes, wild pears, wild persimmons, wild cherries, etc. This time is almost ripe, and basically you can eat them.

Wild fruits in the mountains are basically edible, but it is best not to touch unfamiliar ones, as many of them are poisonous.

But this group of brats all grew up in the mountains, and they are familiar with what they can eat and what they can't.

After walking not far, he saw the furry child in front yelling, "Rabbit!" Then the group of bratty children rushed out, and Liu Junhao was afraid that something would happen to them, so he hurriedly followed behind.

This group of brats got very excited when they saw the rabbit, and he couldn't catch up with him in a hurry. When they ran into a valley, the crowd stopped, and someone called out: "Mountain Grape" Liu Junhao Only then did he look up blankly at the large area of ​​grapes in the valley. This valley is very inconspicuous. It was the first time he had been there, and he did not expect such a large area of ​​grapes inside.

This is the first time I have seen such a large area of ​​mountain grapes, densely packed on several big trees, and hoarfrost hung in clusters, shining brightly.

The mountain grapes in summer and autumn are already ripe, juicy and especially sweet.Especially those early-ripening purple grapes, each one is big and round, looking from a distance, it looks like clusters of purple agates.Rural people generally praise girls for their beautiful eyes, saying they look like mountain grapes.

Liu Junhao also became interested. He picked a few grapes and tasted them. They were sour and sweet, and they were actually a little sweeter than ordinary mountain grapes. Seeing that the group of brats didn’t pay attention, he secretly carried a few of them, and quickly Those purple mountain grapes were pulled off in bunches and put into the stone lock, which he was going to take back to make wine for drinking.

The nutritional value of mountain grapes is extremely high, which can help digestion and prevent constipation. Eating more grapes, drinking grape juice and drinking wine in moderation are very beneficial to human health. Rural women here generally eat mountain grapes before and after childbirth. It is said that blood returns quickly and is also nourishing.

After picking a dozen or so skewers, I heard the hairy boy yelling, who is beating me.

"Oh, who is beating my head!" A group of children kept yelling, and at this time Xiaopi also barked.

Liu Junhao looked up, and it turned out that a group of monkeys were squatting on the branches, and they kept hitting the pine cones downwards. Seeing Xiaopi screaming, they also screamed on top, as if saying that this is them The territory, the mountain grape is their treasure.

The movements in the hands of this group of monkeys were really unambiguous, and they couldn't help pulling the fist-sized pine cones and throwing them at people's heads vigorously.

Xiaopi stared and screamed, but he couldn't climb trees, so he was really powerless.

Liu Junhao was accidentally hit by a pine cone on his head. The pine cone with the size of a fist rested on his forehead and it hurt. He was also annoyed. He yelled, grabbed a large stone and threw it at the tree , The group of brats also reacted, looking for stones and throwing them on the tree.

Humans are stronger than monkeys. The group of monkeys who hit them screamed and kept dodging to higher places, and then continued to throw pine cones on their heads. The group of children who hit them had nothing to do , The group of monkeys didn't stop until they were far away from the mountain grapes. This made Liu Junhao very depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Xiaopi suddenly screamed again, pulled his trouser legs and dragged him under a big tree, and then screamed even more happily.

What's on this tree?Liu Junhao didn't understand what it meant, and looked at it. A worm-eyed bag tree that one person can barely hug, except for the height of the tree, there is nothing unusual about it. I don't know what Xiaopi is calling it.

The insect-eye bag tree is a unique tree here. In autumn, small black bags will grow on the tree, which are soft and hollow inside. When you peel off the skin, you can often see many rice worms inside, so it is called Insect-eye bag tree, this kind of tree has no effect other than burning fire, and rural people generally don't bother to pay attention to it when they go to the mountains.

But Xiaopi still kept screaming happily, and kept grabbing the tree trunk with his claws.

Is there something wrong with the tree trunk?Liu Junhao knocked suspiciously, and there was a bang bang sound. It seemed that the trunk seemed to be empty.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece of tree bark.

Immediately, a mellow fragrance came to his nostrils, and he saw a dark red liquid flowing in the tree hole. He was immediately interested in what it was, and couldn't help but put a little bit of it on his mouth with his finger.

wine?This discovery surprised him, it turned out to be wine, he took a little with his hand and drank it, not sure.The taste is very soft, it feels like it is slowly sliding down the throat, and it also has a little taste of hawthorn, which is very refreshing.

This... Could this be the legendary Monkey Bar?
