Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 341 Bat essence?
In the first round, neither side got any benefit.After they separated, the big snake no longer wanted to fight, and quickly swam towards the depths of the grass.

"Woof" the dog didn't intend to let it go, it jumped up and stopped the big snake again.The little guy became more cautious this time, instead of biting straight up like the previous time, he moved his body to the left and right to test.

Not to be outdone, the big snake couldn't stop spitting out its core and neighing.The eyes of snakes are generally not very good, and this cauliflower snake is no exception.Now it can only adjust its posture according to the opponent's movements, and the speed is obviously half a beat slower.

When the temptation was completed, the little dog also lost his patience, and jumped forward suddenly, his paws had already pressed the snake's body.Then the guy opened his mouth wide and bit the snake's head firmly. After a while, the big snake died completely.After winning the battle for the first time, the puppy was very excited, and kept barking at Xiaopi, as if waiting for his father's praise.

Liu Junhao stepped forward to pick up the cauliflower snake and weighed it a few times. It weighed three catties, and he was lucky again at night.In this weather, snake meat cannot be kept for a long time. It must be taken back immediately, cleaned and marinated with salt.But less than half an hour after arriving, Chitu hadn't had enough to eat yet. Liu Junhao thought about it, and finally threw the cauliflower snake into the stone lock.He has experimented with this stone lock, and it has a very good fresh-keeping function, and the effect is even better than that of a refrigerator.

After everything was tidied up, Liu Junhao directly moved a rock and put it under the big willow tree, and sat on the big rock with his back against the willow tree to take a nap.This place is exactly where the wind blows, and when the wind blows, it's extraordinarily cool, and I feel so comfortable that I don't want to move at all.

He was about to fall asleep in a daze, but he was awakened by a few clear oriole calls on the willow tree. "Two orioles singing green willows" is very appropriate, but before he could read this line out of his mouth, Wukong jumped on the tree and squeaked at the orioles, making them blink in fright The wings flew away quickly.

This guy, if I knew I didn't bring it here, it would really spoil the scenery!Liu Junhao shook his head dejectedly, and then continued to close his eyes... It's not bad to sleep in this place for an afternoon.

"Zhizhi..." Wukong woke him up again after not sleeping for 2 minutes.Liu Junhao wanted to reprimand it severely, but when he opened his eyes, he froze: This guy has a big turtle in his paws.

"Where did you catch this?" He took the old turtle over with a little excitement.

The monkey didn't know whether he understood or not, and his paws just kept pointing into the river.

"Go, catch another one." Liu Junhao patted the guy's head appreciatively.When Mr. Liu Wuye was performing catching turtles in the spring, a group of people followed behind and watched for a long time, but they didn't see why. In the end, it was Wukong who caught an old turtle by blindly touching a dead mouse.At that time, he wondered if the monkey knew the way of the turtle, but it was a pity that he asked for it several times in a row, but this guy pretended to be stupid.Now it seems that Wukong may really understand the way of the turtle.

"Zhizhi" the monkey's little head kept shaking, it looked like he didn't intend to catch it again.

"Catch an old turtle and I'll give you a lotus pod to eat." Liu Junhao stretched out his hand and pulled out a bowl-sized lotus pod from the stone lock.

As soon as Wukong saw the lotus pod, he immediately became excited, stretched out his paws and jumped to ask for it.As long as there are edible things in the courtyard, there are very few things that escape the monkey's claws, except for this lotus pod.Although this guy is not afraid of water, he can't swim either. Every time he sees lotus pods in the lotus pond, he can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to turn it over, and the lotus pod was placed in the stone lock again.He pointed to the dark guy on the ground, and then gestured with his hand: "Old turtle..."

The monkey barked reluctantly, and then ran towards the river not far away.

Liu Junhao lost all sleepiness at the moment, and followed closely behind, wanting to understand how the monkey found the old turtle.

Just less than 50 meters away, I immediately heard crackling noises in front of me, and I saw a few black stone-like things rolling and crawling towards the river.

"Plop" and "Plop" several times in a row, and those guys jumped into the water.The monkey walked fast in front, but stepped on one.

I'm so dizzy, how could I forget the phrase "living under the willows in the scorching summer" in the four-line song about the old turtle. Now if you want to catch the old turtle, you don't have to live under the willow tree.

Wukong's movements were nimble. With a flip of his claws, he had already pinched the guy up.Maybe it learned the lesson of being bitten last time, it deliberately staggered the old turtle's head when pinching.

Liu Junhao went forward to pick up the old turtle, but the monkey quickly took two steps back when it saw the owner's hand stretched out, its mouth squeaked, and its eyes were fixed on his hand.The meaning is obvious, handing over the lotus with one hand, handing over the turtle with the other, if you want to be a white wolf with empty hands, there is no way!
"Almost forgot?" He patted his head and took out the lotus pod again.Only then did Wukong get excited, he stuffed the old turtle into the master's hand, grabbed the lotus pod and ran away to eat it.

Knowing where the old turtle is hiding, the next thing is easy.The willow forest by the river is 50 meters long, and there are too many places for the old turtle to hide.Liu Junhao took off his shoes, rolled his trouser legs to his knees, and then quietly descended into the river.This trick is called "chasing the turtle". The old turtles on the beach are very clever, and usually they will dive into the river when they hear any noise.As long as you get into the water, everything will be fine, and it will be difficult to be caught again.After the turtle catcher understands this pattern, he will quietly pull up a turtle net by the river, and suddenly appear to chase after it.The old turtle is in a panic and will not choose his way, nine times out of ten he will crash into the turtle's net.

Turtle nets are very similar to rabbit nets. Both are vertical nets woven with silk threads. A turtle net is [-] centimeters high and two to three meters long.Seven or eight turtle nets were drawn on the river beach, and the old turtle would never run away.In the past, when there were many old turtles on the Liujiagou river beach, some people used turtle nets, but now that there are fewer old turtles, few people use this kind of net any more.

Liu Junhao came here in a hurry today, so naturally he didn't bring any tools, but he has another magic gem lock, which works better than turtle nets.

"Xiaopi," with a loud shout, Huangbanpi, who was enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree, immediately jumped up and ran straight towards his master.

As soon as they heard the movement, those vigilant old turtles also reacted, rolling and rushing towards the river.

Liu Junhao had already set up his net and waited for the old turtle to approach, so he quickly opened the stone lock.

"Pa-ta... pa-ta..." There was a sound, and four old turtles of different sizes fell onto the beach.

This time the guys were thrown dizzy, and when they woke up, they crawled into the pond again.

When the first battle was in urgency, Liu Junhao led Xiaopi to wreak havoc all the way, after turning around the beach, a dozen old turtles were also caught in the stone lock.

If you catch it again along the same route, you should be able to catch a lot of fish that slipped through the net.But Liu Junhao didn't continue, and he had to think about everything. If he really caught all the old turtles in this area, it would be a sin.

Once the old turtle was caught, Liu Junhao was sweating profusely. He took off his clothes and took a bath in the river, then took Xiaopi and rushed home.

"Xiaohao, you are finally back. I was looking for you everywhere. Hurry up and tie up the red rabbit and follow me to the ancestral hall." Before reaching the door of the house, I saw Liu Laosan coming out of Professor Zhao's courtyard.

"To the ancestral hall, what's the matter?" Liu Junhao asked suspiciously.Since the discovery of the stele when the hotel was built, several old people in the village have been busy rebuilding the ancestral hall.This ancestral hall is simply a place for Liujiagou people to worship their ancestors. Three tile-roofed houses are enough, so it doesn't cost much.After the ancestral hall is built, it will be temporarily guarded by the old bull head, and incense will be offered to worship on the fifteenth day of the lunar new year.Although the younger generation in the village didn't like it, they didn't say anything. After all, it was a way of remembering their ancestors.

"Hurry up and take a look, our ancestors have appeared." Liu Laosan said with a smile.

"Bullshit..." Liu Junhao naturally didn't believe this kind of nonsense.

"Really, you'll know when you go and have a look, it's very evil. It seems to have something to do with the peach tree in your yard..."

"It's related to the peach tree in my yard, what's going on?" Liu Junhao became more and more confused the more he listened.

"Don't say that this thing is really a bit evil, it was the old Niutou who discovered it first..."

Lao Niutou went to work on the chicken farm during the day, and only occasionally visited the ancestral hall.He didn't know what happened the night before, but he thought of burning incense in the ancestral hall.As a result, as soon as we arrived at the door, we heard the sound of "creaking" coming from inside. The sound was very mixed, as if a large group of mice were making noise inside.At first, he also thought it was a rat infestation, so he went in with a lantern to check, but there was nothing inside.Early the next morning, he carried a cat into the ancestral hall to search for it. After searching for a long time, he couldn't even find a mouse hole.

At night, the strange cry came again.The old Niutou felt guilty, and specially called the villagers to check, but they encountered the same situation.The portable lamp shone back and forth for a long time, but found nothing. When we got out of the ancestral hall, it was ringing again.During the day, the ancestral hall was quiet again, and there was no sound at all.

"Isn't the mouse hiding in the beam?" Liu Junhao asked with a little doubt.When the ancestral hall was first built, a bucket-arch composite structure was used, and a small attic was piled up with wood on the second floor, where rats could easily hide.

"It would be great if it was a mouse. The few of us searched inside and out, but we didn't even find a single piece of mouse droppings. But it's not fruitless. Guess what we found inside?"

"Don't be a fool, tell me quickly?" Liu Junhao's curiosity also arose when he heard his babble.

"We found a peach pit in the gap between the beams of the house, which is bigger than an egg..."

"The egg is that big?" Liu Junhao was taken aback. It seemed that except for the strange peach tree in his own yard, other people's peaches did not have such a big core.

"Yes, it's very similar to the peach pit in your house, that's why the old bull asked me to find you."

While speaking, the two had already arrived outside the ancestral hall.There were already quite a few people around, and it seemed that they all heard that something strange happened inside and wanted to come here to join in the fun.

"Xiaohao, come and have a look, this peach pit belongs to your family, right?" Fifth Master Liu said and pulled him into the ancestral hall.

"It should belong to my family." Liu Junhao nodded and answered after only one glance.The characteristics of their own peach pits are too obvious, nearly twice the size of ordinary peach pits, and the texture is much more delicate.

His family lives in the east of the village, and the ancestral hall stands on the west side of the village. The difference between the two places is nearly [-] meters, and there are half a village in the middle.What exactly transported the peach pits so far?It is definitely not a mouse. The range of activities of house mice is generally not so wide.

"But how come there are peach pits here? Could it be that some child sneaked into my yard to pick the peaches and put the peach pits in the ancestral hall?" He asked rather puzzled.Since animals don't have that much ability, the only possibility is that some brat in the village deliberately made trouble.

"No, we cast these peach pits on the roof of the house. Whose child has such great skills." The beams of the house are four to five meters high, and it is difficult to go up without the help of foreign objects.

This is really a strange thing, could it be that the ancestors really appeared.

"Would it be Wukong who did it? Every time he eats peach pits, he hides in the monkey's nest..." Liu Junhao started thinking, and immediately thought of another possibility.

"Go back and have a look, ride Junliang's bicycle, go and come back quickly" Hearing what he said, several people turned their attention to the monkey again.

Liu Junhao took the bicycle and rushed to the house within 2 minutes.

Seeing his panic-stricken look, Professor Zhao and Mr. Jiang both asked what was strange in the ancestral hall.They had also heard from Liu Laosan before, but both of them were atheists, so they naturally didn't believe in things like the ancestor's apparition, so they didn't go to check.

"It's really weird." Liu Junhao roughly narrated the matter. After hearing what he said, the two old men moved to check it out.

The peach pits in the monkey nest did not seem to decrease. Liu Junhao went to the monkey nest to look at it for a while, but he couldn't see any clues, so he had to ride his bicycle back to the village.

"That sound might be the cry of a bat. Bats are easy to hide in this old house, and the sound of a bat is very similar to that of a mouse." After listening to everyone's narration, Mr. Jiang asked.

"What's the matter with this peach pit?" While talking, Liu Laosan threw another peach pit from above.

The peach pit seems to have been picked not long ago, and there is still some pulp on it.

As the bamboo poles were thrown, there were more and more peach pits inside.Everyone was a little stunned, it seemed too much, after a while, seven or eight gnawed peach pits appeared inside.There are already fifteen or sixteen of those on the altar table.

The peach tree in the courtyard didn't bear many peaches, and Liu Junhao didn't know about the sudden loss of so many peaches, which was incredible.

Mr. Jiang saw that there was a small piece of water stain on the side of the altar table, and he moved closer to touch some with his fingers, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and finally said with certainty, "Throw it hard, it should be bats, they ate these peaches."

"Don't bats eat insects?" a tourist asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, not all bats eat insects. For example, the large-footed mouse-eared bat discovered in China in recent years is a fish-eating bat. The bat hiding in the beam of this house should be a fruit bat, which eats fruits and stamens for a living... ..."

Mr. Jiang hadn't finished speaking when Mrs. Liu suddenly yelled: "My god..." and then the bamboo pole was thrown on the ground with a clatter.

"Huh..." the crowd only saw a huge black shadow flying over their heads, and then began to circle around the ancestral hall at high speed.

"This is a bat..." The people inside were almost stunned. The bat's wings were more than one meter long, and it could be said to be a giant among bats.
