Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 542

For more than ten days in a row, tourists stood by the Baitiao River to take pictures of water monsters almost every day.Even Liu Junhao admired that patience.He was sure now that Wuye Liu must have been delusional at the time.

Just when this matter was about to fade away, news suddenly came that several tourists had photographed the water monster and sent the photos to the eighteenth floor.

When Liu Junhao turned on the computer, he found that the [-]th floor had already become an uproar, and the post was directly recommended to the homepage by the editor.In just half an hour, the replies from above have exceeded [-].This heat is even hotter than the discovery of Zhenshui sword some time ago.

Judging from the photo, the fog on the river beach has not dissipated, so the picture is blurry.

In addition, the few tourists standing on the shore were too far away to shoot, and they could only vaguely see two gray shadows floating on the water in the picture.

However, judging from the shape, it should not be a known fish.

There is a text explanation under the picture. Several people also heard the cry of sheep in the middle of the river at that time, so they followed the sound to find it.Two "monsters" were found swimming in the water, sometimes surfaced, rolled up layers of water waves, sometimes sank to the bottom, and disappeared.The whole process lasted more than ten minutes, during which the monster was still like a whale, spraying a water column more than half a meter high from its head.

Liu Junhao looked at the photo carefully several times, it doesn't look like a fake PS.

There are really water monsters... Now his original point of view was shaken, and then he also posted an excited emoticon under the post to support it.I never thought that this post was okay, and many netizens quoted messages asking him what was in the photo.

"I don't know either," Liu Junhao said helplessly.

Well, although I am good at catching fish, I am not an expert in aquatic biology.

There are quite a few inferences from other netizens below the post. Some say that it must be due to downstream water pollution, and some aquatic organisms have undergone genetic mutations, resulting in new species.

Some people also speculate that from the shape, this thing may be a Chinese sturgeon or a white-flag dolphin.

Baiji, this speculation sounds very consistent.Because the back of this animal known as the "water giant panda" is light gray or blue, which is very similar to the water monster in the photo.

Someone quickly refuted that it was definitely not a baiji dolphin.According to historical records, Baiji dolphins are only distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Xiaojiang River.The location of the Baitiao River should be in the middle and upper reaches of the Xiaojiang River, with two national dams in the middle. It is impossible for the Baiji dolphin to pass through the dam and enter the Baitiao River all the way.In addition, as early as a few years ago, the journal "Royal Society Biological Letters" published a report, officially announcing the functional extinction of the baiji dolphin.Several inspections by the national expedition team have also confirmed that the number of wild baiji dolphins is zero.

As soon as this reply came out, the baiji or Chinese sturgeon fell silent immediately.

But Liu Junhao refuted below, in fact, this netizen made a geographical mistake.The Baitiao River flows into the Qingpu River, then flows into the Mian River, and finally flows into the Xiaojiang River at the capital of Chutian Province, which should belong to the middle and lower reaches of the Xiaojiang River.As evidence, he also uploaded a map in the post.

After the geographical location was overthrown, the theory of baiji and Chinese sturgeon was brought up again.Because Mianshui is recorded in historical records, there are also records of the presence and absence of two kinds of creatures.

Throughout the day, everyone's interest was high, and there were constant discussions on the eighteenth floor.Well, if it is confirmed that there are baiji dolphins, then Liujiagou will definitely be so popular that it will shock the whole world and even the whole world.

Not surprisingly, reporter Guo called at noon and said that he would go to Liujiagou for an interview.As the first discoverer of the water monster, Liu Wuye appeared on TV again.

When the news was broadcast, the baiji became a finless porpoise in the mouth of experts.Because this thing has a relatively strong survivability, Mianshui has also been a traditional distribution area for finless porpoises in history.Moreover, it is relatively large and sprays water.What's more, the finless porpoise makes a loud breathing sound when surfacing, which sounds a lot like a sheep's cry.

These descriptions match those of several witnesses.

Two finless porpoises appeared in the Baitiao River. It is likely that the busy water transportation of the Mian River affected their normal life, and they had to escape as a last resort.

In the end, I also analyzed that if this thing did not swim, it would definitely reappear. With such a large body, it needs to surface from time to time to breathe.

Many netizens on the [-]th floor scoffed at the expert's analysis, saying that it was probably the baiji dolphin.Liujiagou has good mountains and no pollution, which is suitable for the survival of large aquatic organisms.

Liu Junhao looked a little ashamed, never thought that Liujiagou had such a high status in the hearts of netizens.

In fact, he was a little confused when he heard the name "finless porpoise". For the first time, he knew that there were other large water animals in the Danshui River besides the Baiji dolphin.

He entered these two words into Du Niang's search, and then opened his eyes wide. The finless porpoise is also known as the river pig! !
"Jiang Zhuzi worships the Dragon King!!" Liu Junhao immediately remembered a legend he had seen in Daqingshan Township Chronicles.

It is said that a long time ago, when the Baitiao River swelled in the late summer and early autumn, people would see river pigs on the river going up the river, followed by countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, in a dark queue more than a mile long.

Every time a spectacle appears, the people of Daqingshan rush to tell each other and go to the bank of Baitiao River to watch it.

At that time, there was a Dragon King Temple at the south bend of the water flow in Gaohe Village. After swimming here, Jiang Zhuzi would stand upright, with half of his body out of the water, and worship the Dragon King statue.

In the legend, Jiang Zhuzi was the son of the Dragon King, who was beaten back to his original form and suppressed in Beihai because he violated the rules of heaven.The end of summer and the beginning of autumn are the birthday of the Dragon King, and the Jade Emperor pardoned Jiang Zhuzi for a one-day holiday, so it came back every time to pay respects.

Later, the Dragon King Temple was destroyed by the flood, and Jiang Zhuzi no longer appeared...

In fact, there are many similar legends in Daqingshan, wild boar essence, crab essence, etc., most of them are caused by someone who violated the rules of heaven, which sounds absurd.Liu Junhao wouldn't care if he read it. Now it seems that it is the same as Zhenhe Sword.Putting aside the mysterious and absurd veil, you will find that the legends have certain historical basis.

Then he posted this legend on the Internet, which can be regarded as providing some material for netizens.

Although this mysterious water monster is not a baiji dolphin, nine times out of ten it is a finless porpoise, but many tourists are still interested in it, waiting by the Baitiao River every day to take pictures.

At Liujiagou Primary School, Zhang Qian also organized a lecture on finless porpoise to give children popular science knowledge.

For the finless porpoise, Liu Junhao didn't have much thought.The main reason is that this thing is huge in size, and it is estimated that it can eat dozens of catties of fish in one meal. My stone lock has limited ability and cannot afford it at all.

Therefore, it is useless to think about it.

The weather is getting colder and colder. On Sunday morning, Liu Junhao got up at seven o'clock to cook.

Last night I received a call from Brother Zhang Qian, saying that I would bring Brother Jianhui over today.In addition, Zhang's mother also misses her grandson a little bit, and plans to live in Liujiagou for a few days.

After breakfast, the couple immediately started preparing.In fact, there is nothing to prepare. Chicken, duck and fish are all available at home, so you don’t need to go to the street to buy them.Clean up the house at most and tidy up the yard.

Just finished working, the phone rang.

Liu Junhao thought it was Zhang Ma and the others who had arrived, but only after looking at the number did he realize that it was Wang Shengli.

"Xiaohao, can black fish drill holes?" Wang Shengli yelled on the other end when the phone was connected.

"Drill, it's cold now, they hibernate, and usually go deep in the mud or in the abandoned holes left by toads and turtles." Liu Junhao replied casually.

The black fish in the other party's mouth is what people in Liujiagou often call fireheads, and they have two of them.

"We have a big fish pond here, and there is a black fish in it. The owner of the fish pond caught it several times but failed to catch it. When there is water, you can see it eating other fish in it, but you can't find it when you drain the water. The second The water was released every year, but this thing got out again. After two or three years of tossing, the owner of the fish pond had no choice but decided to transfer the fish pond. I plan to contract, but I have no idea. I want to ask you, how to get that big black fish up?"

"It's simple, dig the silt, this thing must be hidden in the silt." Liu Junhao suggested, but he couldn't stop complaining in his heart: he doesn't know how to prevent the fire in fish farming, this person is definitely an amateur.

Huotou is extremely vigorous and can adapt to any living conditions.

When it freezes in winter, it can directly drill into the mud at the bottom of the water without eating or moving, and it will not appear until the next spring when the weather is warm, even when there is a long drought and no rain.In addition, this thing has a strong jumping ability. If Huotou is not satisfied with the water area where he lives, he will use the rain to increase the water and jump out of the water to move.

When transferring, they use the wet ground and make slow snake-like movements until they find new water.Many closed fish ponds originally had no fire heads, but after a heavy rain, fire heads were found in the fish ponds. This is actually the reason.

Huotou's ability to escape is also very powerful. If they find someone caught with a net, they will plunge their heads into the mud and let the net slide over their bodies to escape.

People in Liujiagou call the black snakehead a fire-headed peg, and it is also because of this.But its tricks are not enough for experienced fishermen.

In the past, rural people used very little fertilizer for farming, and mostly used silt as soil fertilizer.Every autumn and winter, ponds are turned over to dig out silt.

"The bottom is turned upside down, and the head of the fire is now" In the thick mud, the head of the fire can often be dug.The body of this thing is almost cylindrical, and each one is like a wooden stake, standing straight in the mud, and you will miss it if you don't pay attention.

However, as long as you are careful, you can find something abnormal. There is a round hole in the mud nest of Dong XZ's body. The black fish head is exposed at the hole, and there are a few holes for ventilation.

At that time, as long as the village started digging ponds to dig mud, we children would flock here, looking for fire in the cold mud with bare feet.Many times, one dig can find a litter.

In fact, not only this thing drills mud, but also other fish like catfish and carp.

Catfish have to grow to more than half a catty before they kick. Their huge heads are black and blue and stand upright, like wood fibers smashed by stones, fluffed into a large group embedded in the mud.This is easy to recognize, and much easier to catch.

As for carp, this thing often makes a nest in the mud in the middle of the pond, and the hole it digs is bigger than the grass sieve used in the countryside, and it slantly drills into the mud.

However, this thing can't survive in the mud for too long. It must be ventilated every once in a while, and it will die if it is out of the water for too long. It is not comparable to the fire head.

Liu Junhao wasn't addicted to catching fish at first, but after hearing what Wang Shengli said over there, he came here with a bit of interest.Thinking about going to the village someday,
Dig a few fire-headed pegs to eat during the New Year.

Once again, I assure everyone that "Yikouquan" will definitely be updated. In fact, the end is not far away.In addition, the new book "Records of the Monastic Life of the Post-[-]s" will be off the new book list in one week, and it has not appeared on the front page until now.I hope everyone can support a few recommendation tickets and save them, Hulu is here to thank you.
