Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 75 Natural Enemies
The news of raising snails spread in the village for some reason, and Er Mazi was the first to come over and ask, "I said, Xiaohao, are you really planning to raise snails, kid?"

"Hehe, didn't you say last time that I got any big projects and you would follow? Now that you don't raise grass snails, how many will I sell to you?" Liu Junhao joked with a smile while making circles.

This circle did not use lime cement to solidify, but directly paved with blue bricks, and then paste it with the mixed mud to finish the job.So in just an hour or so he was almost done, except for the last covering of the window screen.

"Why did I buy you grass snails? I want to make me have no long hands? If it rains, just wander around in the woods for a long time, and you can get seven or eight catties." Er Mazi cursed with a smile, and then asked with some doubts : "Are you really planning to raise snails?"

"Why am I lying to you? The snails are all done." Liu Junhao said and poured a large piece of fine sand that had just been obtained from the river beach into it.He is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, this kind of grass snail breeding book is not mentioned at all.Although Su Nana searched for a long time when choosing books, she couldn't find a book about farming grass snails, so she bought all kinds of books and mailed them to Liu Junhao.

And here Liu Junhao also guessed that the snails have similar habits, so he regarded them as white jade snails and raised them.

"Snails still eat sand?" Er Mazi asked in surprise when he saw that he had made a lot of sand.

"This is for snails to lay eggs. I'm just figuring it out with reference to the book." Liu Junhao threw the snails in the wooden basin into the circle one by one, and then threw a dozen or so vegetable leaves to settle the matter.

Probably due to the dampness of the land, after a short while, the snails hiding in the shells poked their heads out one after another, crawling around inside, and many of them climbed onto the vegetable leaves and gnawed.

"Damn it, this thing can be raised, is it delicious?" Er Mazi looked at these grass snails, obviously a little tempted.

"Don't worry, Uncle Guangxi, the grass snails I raised are absolutely delicious, and I think they will be ready to eat next month. I'll fry some and invite you to come and have a taste."

"Okay, it's settled. If it's really delicious, don't say anything, your uncle's farmhouse will cover all the grass snails." Er Mazi said "quite far-sighted".

Now it's all right, we will be able to eat snails in another month, and after sending Er Mazi away, Liu Junhao sits on a chair in the front yard and looks forward to the future.

Before the buttocks could sit still, Maozi led a fat little flower dog to the yard with a bruised nose and a swollen face.The puppy sniffed around as soon as it entered the yard, then picked up Liu Junhao's sun-dried shoes on the ground, and ran up to the fur boy, barking "barking" to ask for credit.

Dogs usually look very cute when they are young. Looking at this little flower dog, Liu Junhao remembered that when Xiaopi was first picked up, in a blink of an eye, Xiaopi had grown so big.

"Where did you get the dog from? It seems that you have just finished school, and the schoolbag hasn't been delivered home yet?" He asked suspiciously.

"I asked my classmate to ask for it for me. I have been taking it to school for the past two days, but Teacher Zhang didn't notice it." Maozi took out a large piece of steamed bun from his schoolbag and threw it beside the puppy.

The puppy was eating happily, and suddenly saw Xiaopi lying on the edge of the stone slab, and immediately rushed up, barking, and began to push Xiaopi's belly, apparently thinking about feeding.

"Woooo..." Xiaopi let out a low warning sound.

But the little flower dog seemed to ignore it. After being under its belly for a long time, it couldn't get milk, and it became anxious, and even barked at Xiaopi.

It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, this little dog is really brave.

However, Xiao Pi didn't seem to want to get to know the little dog as well. Annoyed by it, he stood up and walked towards his kennel, but the little dog still relentlessly followed behind, and finally gnawed with peace of mind. Picked up the bones in the small leather nest.

Xiaopi has the habit of collecting bones. Every time Liu Junhao throws it a big bone that he can't finish eating, he will put it in the doghouse and enjoy it slowly later.

Because there is food in it, this kennel has become a restricted area, no matter if it is chickens, ducks or rabbits, it will "whoop" and give a warning whenever it comes close.

But this time the warning was ineffective, the little flowery dog ​​still swaggered and squatted in front of it and gnawed, Xiaopi barked a few times and saw that it didn't respond, so he had to give up and bask in the sun with his eyes closed.

This made Liu Junhao a little surprised, and what surprised him even more was that the little flower dog was still behind. After chewing for a while, the little flower dog probably got tired of playing, so he barked and climbed up Xiaopi's back, and played with it by biting its ears.

And Xiaopi didn't move at all except shaking his head.

"What's the matter with your face, isn't it because you were fighting with someone?" Liu Junhao then remembered to ask what happened to Mao Zi's face.

"Going up a tree to dig a bird was stung by a wasp. A white-headed nest was built on the Chinese toon tree in my backyard. I saw those two old birds catching insects and feeding them back two days ago. I guessed that the little bird was about to leave the nest. I thought I went up to have a look, but I didn't find a big hornet's nest under the toon tree." The hairy boy rubbed his swollen face and explained indifferently.

The white-headed primary school name in his mouth is the pulsatilla, this kind of bird is very common in Daqingshan, and there are often ten or twenty birds chirping in groups, which is quite annoying.

"You deserve it right, you are too old to dig birds out of trees and stung your eyes to make you feel better." Liu Junhao originally wanted to reprimand him a few words, but seeing the rough-skinned and thick-skinned appearance of this kid, he had to give up and said It's the same as not saying, this brat is the master who goes in the left ear and comes out the right ear.

The hairy kid talked for a while, then ran into the house to play with the computer, not caring about the little flower dog he threw into the yard, and the flower dog fell asleep comfortably lying next to Xiao Pi after a while of fuss.

Liu Junhao sat in the yard for a while, seeing the sun was about to set before he remembered the matter of collecting duck eggs.He took a sieve and climbed up the miscellaneous wood pile to look, and sure enough there were three or four teal eggs in each nest.

This made him even more suspicious. Could it be that the water duck lays eggs at night, otherwise how could he have never found out?
His conjecture was quickly confirmed. When it was getting dark, a teal flew up to the weed pile without a sound. After patrolling for a few minutes, it lay down in its nest to lay eggs.

After a while, six of them flew up, and all of them seemed to be thieves, sneaking around.

Now all the confusion in Liu Junhao's heart was explained. It seems that although the water duck has been domesticated since childhood, its vigilance has not deteriorated in the slightest.

The hairy boy forgot the time when he played the game, until it was dark, the boy had no intention of leaving.Liu Junhao was afraid that his family members would be worried at night, so he had to be urged twice before he was blown away from the computer.

This kid has been sitting for two hours, his eyes staring at the screen all the time, and now his eyes are sore, so he can't see the way at all.When he just stepped out of the door frame, he kicked his foot in the air and fell and gnawed on the mud.

"Did you fall?" Liu Junhao hurriedly helped him up.

"It's okay." The hairy boy patted the dirt on his body and was about to go to the kennel to hug the little flower dog, but suddenly found the backyard was bright, and suddenly exclaimed: "Uncle Xiaohao, come and see what's going on in your backyard, then Many fireflies!"

"Fireflies?!" Liu Junhao came out of the room in shock when he heard his cry, and also exclaimed, and hurried over with a portable lamp.

The worms are too nasty, the snails I just raised in the afternoon came to make trouble at night.

I saw a lot of firefly larvae crawling on the fine window screens, many of them continued to burrow into the holes of the window screens.

This thing is the natural enemy of snails, and it mainly feeds on snails.Don't know how they got the smell and crawled into their yard.

Liu Junhao looked at it for a while before he felt relieved. He had covered the gaps in the blue bricks with mud in the afternoon, and although there were holes in the window screens, they were so small that fireflies couldn't get in at all.
