- Chapter 519: Isn¡¯t the magpie a beneficial bird?
I saw a few magpies looking for food in the courtyard, looking here and there, then slowly jumping towards the firewood pile, approaching the water duck's nest step by step. (It only takes a genius 3 seconds to remember) (Please remember [.] for free novels.
"Could it be that the magpies stole the duck eggs?" Zhang Qian said this, but she didn't think so in her heart.
Before she could finish her words, the leading magpie moved. The bird called several times on the firewood pile. After making sure that there was no danger around it, it suddenly lowered its head and pecked at the duck eggs in the grass nest. It pecked a dozen times in a row, and its sharp beak dug a small hole in the egg shell. Then the magpie stuck its head out and started eating the spilled egg white. After eating it for a while, it probably felt unsatisfactory, so it actually stuck its mouth into the eggshell, flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.
It flew about half a foot high. The magpie's head shook and the duck egg fell from the high altitude. The eggshell broke and the egg white and yolk flowed all over the floor. At this time, other magpies swarmed in and grabbed the food on the ground.
A few magpies couldn¡¯t get food and flew to the grass nest again to peck duck eggs.
In less than five minutes, all four duck eggs were eaten by them. Without food, a dozen magpies fluttered their wings and flew away.
It turned out that this thing was responsible. The couple had speculated for such a long time, but they never thought that a magpie would commit the crime. During the day, all the water ducks ran outside the courtyard in search of food, which gave them ample time to commit crimes.
No wonder Wukong kept pointing up at the tree yesterday. He really knows about feelings. It¡¯s a pity that the couple¡¯s ability to understand them is so poor.
"Isn't the magpie a beneficial bird?" It is very clear that the magpie is not only a "food expert" among birds, but also a beneficial bird. They are famous for their omnivorous nature, feeding on locusts, mole crickets, pine caterpillars, and noctuid larvae. One magpie can protect more than 20,000 square meters of pine forest from insect damage.
¡°Primary school students all know these things, and they often talk about them in class, but the behavior of the magpies in front of them completely subverted Zhang Qian¡¯s cognition.
"Who am I to worry about who is saying that magpies are beneficial birds?" Liu Junhao was also a little dumbfounded. Even though he had caught magpies many times since he was a child, he really didn't notice that magpies have this bad habit.
The couple were talking when Professor Zhao walked into the courtyard and asked, "What are the couple doing? It's so lively early in the morning."
"Speaking of magpies" Liu Junhao recounted what happened.
"That's it? It's normal." Professor Zhao was not surprised after hearing this. "Magpies are omnivorous birds. In addition to insects, their main food is cereals and plant seeds. Like most other crows, magpies are very They are intelligent birds, but they are also extremely aggressive and ferocious birds. They sometimes steal eggs and chicks, and sometimes capture snakes, mice, etc.
"This is nothing to you. I have encountered similar things before when I was conducting research in rural areas. (Win phone bills,) These guys use the orchard as a canteen and go there to have dinner every day.
Magpies are extremely smart. They ignore immature fruits and only peck at ripe ones. Most of them only peck at a fruit two or three times. After pecking at one tree, they fly to the next tree. Sometimes, the whole orchard is densely packed with magpies, at least hundreds of them, and I was shocked. Looking from the orchard, one can see a black mass of birds flying by.
To prevent bird damage, fruit farmers hung up banners, tied up grass, beat gongs, set off firecrackers they tried every method. It's a pity that it can only be taken care of for a while. Within two days, the magpie will get used to it. "
"Then my duck eggs will all be destroyed by them in the future?" After listening to Professor Zhao's story, Zhang Qian became worried. It is true that magpies are beneficial birds, but if they continue to cause harm like this, they will definitely not be able to bear it. Although the daily income from duck eggs is not as good as eel, it can still be several thousand yuan a year.
"A few magpies are making a big fuss," Liu Junhao curled his lips and said, "Hurry up and heat some yogurt, then go to class after eating. In half a day, I tidied up the magpies so that they didn't even dare to enter our courtyard."
"The tiger is really a sick cat if it is not powerful, and the magpie is so rampant, naturally I can only serve it with a slingshot."
When his wife went to class, Liu Junhao closed the courtyard door, then went into the house and hid under the window sill.
Within ten minutes, the magpie ran back to the pile of firewood.
He immediately opened the slingshot and heard a soft crash, and the bold magpie began to scream on the ground.
Before the master could take action, Wukong had already ran out of the house and captured the magpie directly.
Liu Junhao took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be proud of his slingshot skills: he hit the magpie's abdomen just right, and missed it by a few seconds and hit his head.
Seeing that there were no serious injuries, Liu Junhao went back to the house to get a string and tied the magpie to a pile of firewood.
Just as he had guessed, there was a similar person below who was chattering wildly. Seeing this example, the magpies on the tree did not dare to go down the tree to steal eggs again, even in the courtyard.Don't dare to fall.
"How is it? My method is good?" When his wife came back at noon, Liu Junhao proudly introduced her.
"You are always good at using crooked methods," Zhang Qian rolled her eyes at him and said.
"How can it be called a crooked way? This is killing birds with birds." Liu Junhao has already thought about promoting this method to the fruit trees and fruits in the village next year.
¡°Otherwise, as Mr. Zhao said, hundreds of magpies would swoop on the orchard, and the village would suffer huge losses.
Zhang Qian had no classes in the afternoon, so the couple pushed the oldest and youngest out for a walk as usual. In fact, they don't stay in the hospital very long now. The two little guys only need to park at home for half an hour before they start making trouble. As soon as you go out, stop crying immediately. Moreover, they are also crazy about people. The more people there are, the happier they are. Regardless of whether they know them or not, they always make people laugh.
The master went out, and Wukong followed closely behind. After a while, the guy didn't know what good thing he had found, and he happily ran to the owner to ask for credit.
"Wow!" Zhang Qian yelled and moved away after seeing the bug in Wukong's hand clearly.
It is said that after living in Liujiagou for several years, she has basically reached the point where she is not surprised when she sees bugs. Of course, the exception was the bug in front of me. It was nearly ten centimeters long, as thick as a thumb, and covered with furry green spines. It looked very disgusting.
"Wukong, throw it away!" Zhang Qian shouted repeatedly, but unfortunately the monkey didn't seem to hear it at all, and kept picking up the bug with its little paws and flicking it around.
"Don't be afraid, this is a bug on the tree." Liu Junhao took a look and explained. Every season, there will be many such bugs crawling out of the Laolubao tree. This bug looks scary, but it is a favorite of boys.
Tear open the belly of this insect, and there will be masses of milky white sticky threads inside. Take out the sticky threads and soak them in vinegar for a period of time, and they will stretch longer and longer like rubber bands. They will be quite strong after drying, which is good for fishing. Good material for thread.
In the past, when there was no rope, they often used this fishing method. Now that conditions have improved, few people spend so much effort making fishing lines anymore.
After staying outside for two or three hours, the couple returned to the hospital when the temperature dropped.
After dinner, the two little guys started to make a fuss and fell asleep at 6 o'clock. The couple was about to take off their clothes and go to bed, but their cell phones rang.
The number looked unfamiliar, so Zhang Qian handed over the phone. In fact, many tourists have this number, and Zhang Qian is not surprised that they often receive calls from strangers.
"Liu Junhao, is there any Xiang Tiancao in your village?" When the call was connected, the caller asked anxiously without introducing himself at all.
"Wait a minute, what is Tiancao?" Liu Junhao asked in confusion.
"I don't know either. My daughter-in-law had a gynecological disease and she was treated by an old Chinese medicine doctor. The herbal medicine called Xiangtiancao was used in it. The doctor didn't have it. He told me to go to the countryside to find it"
Liu Junhao recalled it carefully, but still had no impression at all: "I have never heard of Xiang Tiancaoare you sure we have it here?"
"There should be. The doctor said it can be found on old tile-roofed houses in rural areas." The other end of the phone answered uncertainly.
"Wait a minute, I'll check online. Call back in ten minutes, and I'll give you the accurate information then." Hearing the other party's anxious tone, Liu Junhao didn't refuse.
"Who called?" Zhang Qian asked in a low voice when she saw her husband turned over.
"I don't know. They should be tourists who often come to our village. They are looking for some medicinal herbs." Liu Junhao answered and quickly turned on the computer.
It¡¯s easy to search if you have a name, just enter Xiang Tiancao to search. After reading the introduction, he breathed a sigh of relief. Emotions are common in rural areas, and Liujiagou must have them.
The tile brown is tender green when it first grows, but turns dark red after being exposed to sunlight. This plant is very small, only a dozen centimeters long at its highest. It has only one stem and is surrounded by oval leaves. It suddenly looks a bit like a pocket version of a pine tree.
It is very picky about the growing environment and only lives on the roofs of old houses. In that era, it would not grow at all on the red tiled lobby houses.
Wa Zong tastes sour. When they were young, Liu Junhao, Liu Qiyong and others used to sneak to other people¡¯s old houses to pull out Wa Zong and eat it. Of course, this matter must not be discovered by adults, otherwise you will definitely be punished. Children often fall off when going up to the roof, and accidentally trample the tiles to pieces. When it rains, the owner will be the unlucky one.
At that time, rural children usually didn¡¯t have much snacks to eat, so they felt as happy as if they had won a battle when they got a few tile palms, and they munched on them with great pleasure.
"Modern children have good living conditions and don't pay attention to the short brown tiles on the roof, let alone their parents' generation"I once ate this with gusto.
When the other party called again, Liu Junhao agreed and asked him to pick it up tomorrow. If it couldn't be done, he could just leave it in the car and take it back to the city.
He agreed easily, but when he went to the village to look for Wazong the next day, he was dumbfounded.
Most families in the village have built buildings, and there will be no tiles growing on them. Even though there are many tile-roofed houses, they are newly built and made of cement tiles.
He looked around the entire village, but he couldn't find a single tile palm.
No wonder the tourist called here specifically to look for it. Love is such a rare thing.
He was worried about being loyal to others. Liu Wuye gave an idea, saying that he should go to Daliang Village or Sanskeshu. There should be old houses in that village.
"That's right." Liu Junhao slapped his head and hurried home and rode his electric scooter towards Daliang Village.
