Chapter 424 Chain Reaction
Chapter 424 Chain Reaction
"Fat Uncle, how about making insect-catching nets?" Qiqi saw that the fat man was busy in the courtyard when he woke up early in the morning. He couldn't help but get up. He saw a long pole that was more than two meters long, with an iron ring about one and a half feet in diameter tied to the front. There was also a green net pocket on the iron ring, which was the net for catching insects.
"Well, now there are more and more grasshoppers. Grab some grasshoppers every day to feed them." The fat man said without raising his head.
"Let me have fun first." Qiqi immediately shouted excitedly.
"Just your ability to attract bees and butterflies, you still use this."
Qiqi blinked her big eyes: "Fat uncle, don't you give me some fun, just return the iron ring on it. That's what I used to roll the iron ring."
The fat man blinked his eyes: "Hehe, just use it to catch the grasshopper, hug it on the sweeping floor, and then put the grasshopper into the bag of noodles as soon as it arrives."
This iron ring is really the one that Qiqi rolling wheel ring played with. The fat man didn't have any handy things for the time being, so he used it. By the way, the iron ring was definitely the favorite game for the little kids at that time.
Basically, each child has an iron ring of different thickness and weight. This thing runs fast with light but is unstable, while the heavy ones are more laborious. When playing, they always hold a hook made of wire, chasing the iron ring in front, pushing it a few times behind the spiraling iron ring from time to time, making a loud bang.
Those with poor skills can only push straight lines, while those with high skills can turn flexibly. As soon as the iron ring rings, the little kids' hearts immediately flew.
After seeing the wild boys pushing iron rings, Qiqi pestered the fat uncle and made one, and now he has been requisitioned by the fat man again.
When he heard that the fat uncle asked her to catch grasshoppers, Qiqi was so happy: "When I go after school in the evening, Erya will go."
When the fat man heard this, he solemnly awarded the insect catcher net he had made to Qiqi: "Now I officially appointed Comrade Qiqi as the captain of the Kaoshantun insect catcher team, and there is a team member Li Erya. I hope you will carry forward the spirit of hard work, perseverance, and contribute to the scorpion field." After saying that, he also applauded warmly.
Ye Ying poked her head out of the door: "Brother Fat, are you fooling us kids again?"
"It's not your business, it's time to pick wild vegetables. You can implement all the personnel. This is our current pillar industry." The fat man quickly put pressure on her.
Old Wu also came back from outside the gate: "Fatty, should I give the bee chest to me?"
"Hehe, I took it out when I was running in the morning. It was in the deer farm. I think you should go up the mountain to stock it. There is more honey there, and the yield is high, so it will save you from having idle meals at my house." The fat man said with a smile.
Old Wu was not angry: "So, I will go up the mountain to be a hermit every year, and you can be envious of the fat man."
To be honest, the fat man really envies Old Wu's leisurely life, but now he has unknowingly carried too many responsibilities and cannot always relax.
But it is still possible to do it once a while: "Okay, I'll take you up the mountain while I haven't started picking wild vegetables these days."
Fatty and Old Wu both act casually, so they just left. After breakfast, the fat man greeted Captain Li and asked everyone if anyone had gone up the mountain. As a result, Boss Che and Wang Sanpao were both busy farming at home, only Lao Yaozi and Jia Siqi walked together.
Four people, the fat man carried two tents on his back, and each of them carried beehives. The fat man picked four of them, and even carried pots and pans. After all, Old Wu was older, and Jia Siqi had already struggled to carry beehives.
After leaving Kaoshantun and walking into the forest for a while, the fat man suddenly laughed: "If I shake it with a rattle, would I look like a peddler?"
Everyone saw the big bags of him on his body, and they nodded and laughed. The fat man raised his throat: "Hey, beating the drum, beating the gong, pushing the cart, I'll deliver the goods. The things on the car are really good, a notebook with education, pencils, pencils, pencils, small floral cloth that the girl likes, and the young man tied a scarf... Old Wu's mouth is used to suck the itchy old man's joy-"
The fat man was really bad. As he sang, he started not following the right path. "The mouth that children used for breastfeeding" was changed to "The mouth that Lao Wu used for."
Old Wu hadn't heard it yet, and muttered: "Well, fat man, you sing this very interesting thing, but your voice is too thick."
Lao Yaozi and Jia Siqi were so happy that they could only put down the burden and hold the big tree with their hands, so they didn't fall down. Old Wu was laughed inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
The fat man sang the last two lines seriously again. Only then did Old Wu understand and immediately glared: "Damn fat man, you will definitely not have the share of eating honey this year!"
"I don't want to eat your honey." The fat man didn't care about it at all. The honey produced in the wooden box was much better than the old Wutou.
As soon as Old Man Wu left like this, the fat man handed over the honey water mixed with royal jelly to Dabianzi and Qiqi. It is estimated that after drinking it for a few months, he will definitely get younger and younger.
So he rested on the spot, and the old medicine smoked the cigarette pot. The fat man took out the cigarette roll and handed it to Jia Siqi, and then took a beautiful breath. At this moment, with a click, the head was smashed hard.
When I looked down, I saw a large pine tower rolling out a long distance, several circles larger than the fat man's fist. Then I saw a gray pine tree rushing down from the tree, pounced in front of the pine tower, and declared ownership of the pine tower.
The fat man knew that squirrels like to eat pine nuts from red pine. When picking, they first broke the roots of the pine tower to make them fall to the ground. It must have been this little guy who just now.
It is actually not easy to pick pine towers. They are all hung high on tree branches more than ten meters high. Only small animals like squirrels can easily eat pine towers.
In addition, the three of the Fatty Brothers are good at it, but the Fatty already knows the harm of over-picking pine towers, so they didn't do it last fall. This also led to more and more squirrels on the Daqing Mountain. First, squirrels reproduce faster, and rodents have this characteristic; another reason is that small animals like to move. If there is enough food, they will move here in large quantities. The more squirrels on the Daqing Mountain all ran from other hills.
Seeing the fat man rubbing his head, Old Wu was happy: "This is the end of not respecting the elderly."
The fat man picked a stone on the ground, raised his arms and acted to beat the squirrel, but finally put it down again. The squirrel is so cute, with two big ears and big fur-like tails, and the fat man couldn't bear to scare it.
The squirrel was not afraid of people. He held the big pine tower with his front paws, put his mouth on it, and knocked the pine tower openly, with big black eyes, and was vigilantly paying attention to the movements of the fat people on their side.
This little guy is so unique when he eats pine seeds. It seems that his mouth is born to be prepared to knock pine seeds, just like a machine gun fire. Dada, the pine seed shell pops out from his mouth like flying bullet shells. In a few minutes, a large pine tower will be gnawed.
The squirrel's cheeks were also bulging and tall. He jumped onto a big tree, and then climbed onto it a few times. Then he spitted the pine nuts in his mouth on a branch. It seemed that he had eaten something and left it to dry it.
"Hey, this thing has become a sperm!" This was the first time the fat man saw a squirrel eating pine seeds, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"If it is before winter begins, squirrels will bring out the food that is ready to overwinter to prevent mold from becoming moldy, and the little guy is scared." Lao Yaozi said with a smile.
The fur of squirrels is quite valuable, but there are very few squirrels that are harmful to them. The main reason is that this thing looks like it. It’s different in other places. It’s really caught when you see squirrels. In those two years, my country exported 200,000 to 300,000 pine barks every year. You can imagine how much squirrels were caught.
"Since last year, the number of squirrels in our country has increased so far. It is estimated that the food is sufficient, and the second is that it may be relatively safe. In addition to guarding against those natural enemies, there is no need to consider the biggest killer of humans, so these little guys regard this as a comfort zone." The fat man looked up at the squirrels in the tree while sighing.
Just then, Old Wu shouted: "Leopard--"
The fat man looked down and saw a big head poking out in the bushes, which was similar to a cat's head, but it was several sizes wide. There was a tuft of black hair on his ears, which added a bit of mighty and weirdness. His two sharp eyes were staring at the squirrels on the tree. When Old Wu shouted, the guy disappeared immediately.
"Cainzi!" When the fat man saw that this guy was much smaller than a leopard and his head looked more like a cat, he remembered the guy who often lay on the kang in the wild vegetable factory guesthouse. It was probably the same as him.
"We're all wrong. Many leopards are not calves, but lynxes. They are much larger than calves. They are considered to be a medium-sized beast." Lao Yaozi said slowly. Although he was not as familiar with the wild beasts in the mountains as Wang Sanpao, he also knew everyone in front of him.
"This thing is a lynx. The fur is very valuable. I have seen a lynx skin that costs 500 yuan." Jia Siqi couldn't help but exclaimed.
Lao Yaozi nodded: "The lynx skin is straight and fine, with long velvet, and it is hard to wear with cold and wear. Moreover, the number of this thing is getting smaller and smaller, so it is becoming more and more precious. It is probably because there are more and more squirrels here, so they have attracted the lynx. I heard from Sanpao that he hasn't seen a lynx for several years - Fatty, what are you doing?"
"Hehe, you guys wait here for a while, I'll go back." The fat man shouted without hesitation, and then disappeared into the vast forest.
"This guy must have heard that lynx skins are valuable, so he has become greedy." Old Wu was still a little angry.
"I don't think so, the fat man has a sable at home. It's not as valuable as a lynx skin. He can't bear to kill him if you don't see it." Jia Siqi instead spoke for the fat man.
Of course, Old Wu knew what kind of bird Fatty was, he just said with pleasure.
If the fat man had just arrived at Daqingshan, he would probably be tempted to hear that a lynx skin could be sold for hundreds of dollars. But now it is a household worth tens of thousands of yuan, and his awareness of protection is constantly increasing. Of course, he will not hunt lynxes. He was just curious and wanted to learn more about this mysterious animal. Maybe what Lao Yao said just now makes sense. Nature is a big food chain, with the increase of squirrels, so it is not new to appear on them. This is a chain reaction, but it is good that it is benign.
The lynx travels through the forest very quickly and quietly. It is definitely a dangerous killer. Once you walk by, you will catch a fat big mouse.
However, it was held in its mouth and did not eat it. Seeing this, the fat man suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head: "Can you go back to feed the little ones? Haha, you have to take a look."
