Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 38
"Cluck..." Liu Junhao just put his hand into the coop, when the half-grown hen quickly stretched out its head and pecked at his hand.Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly withdrew his hand, otherwise the peck would have been inevitable. He looked at the hen squatting in the corner of the coop with some fear, and saw that its feathers were all blown up, like a peck. Like a fighter.

"Ask me to kill you again." He shyly dismissed the idea of ​​eating eggs at noon.

"Why aren't you so bold, kid? Go dig out the eggs, why don't you?" Professor Zhao couldn't help asking with a smile seeing his deflated appearance.When he was digging out eggs just now, his hand was pecked green and painful. Liu Junhao was still talking sarcasticly, but he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon.

"No way, the hen in the hatching period is unreasonable at all." Liu Junhao said helplessly. The huge pile of eggs is occupied, making it difficult for both of them to eat an egg.Every time I waited for the night to completely fall before I secretly reached into the chicken coop and took out the eggs.

It's not that Liu Junhao is reluctant to part with those eggs, but that Professor Zhao lacked consideration when he bought the chickens, and all he bought were hens.There is no rooster in his family, and there is no solitary yin, and there is no rooster to "press the eggs". These eggs are considered "duds" and cannot hatch chicks.

Professor Zhao started to go to the village to exchange some eggs, but was vetoed by Liu Junhao. He directly took the water duck eggs and put them under the hen's body to let them hatch.

These dozen or so water duck eggs were bought by the river. Originally, Liu Junhao was going to cook them for Xiao Haoyu, but the little guy didn’t agree with anything, so he insisted on taking them back to let his friends see what they were doing. It's water duck eggs.He wanted to show off in front of his friends, but he secretly hid them while the adults were not paying attention.

Who knew that when Zhao Weidong and the others left that day, they forgot about it, and Liu Junhao was so flustered because he was getting something for them, he didn't think of it, so the watery duck eggs stayed, and Professor Zhao cooked at night It was found in the firewood pile when it was time.

As a result, these dozen or so water duck eggs were placed under the hen's belly. Once the hen reaches the incubation period, it will hatch no matter what kind of eggs it is!Even if you put a round stone on it, it will still turn over and over every day.

Moreover, Liu Junhao is very relieved when the water duck eggs are handed over to the hen to hatch. How to say that sentence: I am relieved when you do things.

Although teal ducks are good at building nests and hatching eggs, domestic ducks are stupid, they can only lay eggs but not hatch them.The "glorious task" of incubating ducklings in rural areas is all done by the hen, so it can be said that it has rich experience.

Chickens 21, ducks 28, it means that it takes 28 days for a duck egg to turn into a duckling. During this period of time, the hen is actually hard enough. He lies motionless in the nest every day, and at most comes out of the nest when it is time to eat. He ran out, quickly drank two sips of water, caught a few grains of rice, and hurried back to the nest to hatch the eggs.

Professor Zhao couldn't stand it, so he filled a large bowl of water and put it in front of the chicken coop, and piled some melons, fruits and rice grains there for him to eat. Liu Junhao even laughed at him as if he was serving a hen for confinement.

Professor Zhao also feels that the older he gets, the more he looks like a woman. He used to live in a hurry, but now that he has free time, he has become more and more interested in flowers, birds, insects and fish. It is also a kind of enjoyment to run around.

The two of them were sleeping soundly that night, when they suddenly heard Xiaopi yelling loudly in the yard, and then the hen in the chicken coop also started clucking.

"There's a thief...!" This was Liu Junhao's first reaction. He quickly touched the light bulb by the bed and pulled it on. yard.

He still clearly remembered the experience of the thief more than a month ago, and now that Xiaopi was growing up, he felt relieved a lot.But sometimes you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about you.The big fire head and the old turtle raised in my yard are very conspicuous, and now the people who come here to visit have more than doubled the price at most.Especially the old turtle, whose reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and has become a well-known golden signboard in Liujiagou, and everyone who comes here has to take a look at it.

Its value has also soared. Although Liu Junhao has repeatedly stated that he will not sell it, he can't stop the enthusiasm of the buyers. People come to inquire almost every now and then.

There has been no movement these days, and he thought that those thieves had completely given up their hearts, but he didn't expect that they would never give up.

Liu Junhao quickly took a light with a portable lamp, but found no one, while Xiaopi was still screaming at the courtyard wall.

"The person ran away? Damn it, your legs are quite sharp." He cursed angrily, and then went to look at the courtyard door. The door was locked tightly, and there was no sign of prying.It seems that the thief should have climbed in from the courtyard wall, but this thief is too nimble, so he escaped over the wall so quickly?
It's also possible that Xiaopi found out just after going up to the courtyard wall, and jumped over the wall to escape.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, did you recruit a thief?" At this time, Professor Zhao also hurried out of the room with his clothes on, and shouted at him.

"Yeah, but I didn't see anyone, I guess Xiaopi ran away as soon as he called them." Liu Junhao took a portable lamp and searched the corners of the yard carefully again, and after confirming that there were no Tibetans, he went back to the main room with Professor Zhao .

But they didn't fall asleep immediately, but sat in the main room with the lights off and waited for almost an hour without any movement. Liu Junhao got up and said, "It looks like this thief won't come again." , let's go to bed early too, with Xiaopi here, thieves can't get in."

"What if we take medicine?" Professor Zhao said worriedly.

"Do you think Xiaopi can eat it?" Liu Junhao looked relieved.

"That's true." Professor Zhao felt relieved when he heard this. As Xiaopi grew up, the fine lineage of Huangbanpi gradually emerged, and he became very vigilant.It won't eat the food that most people feed it, even if it's the best food.

So far, it only eats the food fed by Professor Zhao and Liu Junhao. Even if the furry boy comes to the yard, it is considered frequent enough, but that time his father caught a fat rabbit in the field and fried a big pot of meat. I left a few bones for Xiaopi to feed it, but Xiaopi still didn't eat it, and it was Liu Junhao who took the food and fed it.

In fact, sometimes animals are much smarter than humans and can withstand temptation better.

The two went back to their rooms to sleep. Liu Junhao just closed his eyes dimly, but he heard Xiaopi screaming again.

"Damn it, is it over?" Liu Junhao was very annoyed, grabbed the shovel and rushed out, and saw Xiaopi howling at the courtyard wall.

Professor Zhao didn't take off his clothes at all just now, so he came out very quickly this time. Liu Junhao went to the yard with his front feet, and he followed behind.

"Let someone run away again?" He asked from behind.

"Well, Xiaopi can't get out in the yard, otherwise he will definitely catch up with the thief." Liu Junhao nodded unwillingly.

After reconfirming their safety, they went back to the room and sat down again, but this time they didn't feel sleepy, so they simply sat in the room and waited.

Of course, in order not to startle the thief early, Liu Junhao also led Xiaopi into the main room on purpose, letting him squat there obediently.

More than an hour passed, just when they thought the thief would not come tonight, Xiaopi suddenly jumped up from Liu Junhao's side, and jumped out directly through the gap in the door.

The agile speed startled the two of them, Liu Junhao reacted first, and rushed to the door waving the shovel, and followed Xiaopi's figure with the lantern.

no one?Seeing Xiaopi rushing forward, he was a little confused, and the portable lamp shone forward for a few minutes, but saw a black shadow flashing and disappearing at the courtyard wall, and Xiaopi began to yell at the courtyard wall .

What is it?Liu Junhao rushed to the wall in a hurry, and looked around with the portable lamp. He clearly saw a small shadow just now, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

What the hell, when he saw the [-] to [-] cm high water channel eye at the base of the wall, he suddenly understood that the thing escaped from the water channel eye, no wonder Xiaopi yelled at this place.

Guess what this thief is? ?
