- As the saying goes, "You grow vegetables in the cold dew, and you grow wheat in the frost. ([] )"
After planting wheat, almost all the flowers in the fields have stopped blooming, and all the leaves that should have fallen have also fallen. Birds in the mountains that are not suitable for cold climates have already fluttered their wings and left for other places. If you don¡¯t want to bother, just find a hole and drill into it to start the cat winter.
There is no farm work in the fields now. The farmers who have been busy for most of the year are finally free and become more and more lazy. However, such days were bearable for a day or two. As time went by, the young man became impatient and made an appointment to go hunting wild boars in the mountains.
Wild boar hunting is a project that has emerged in Liujiagou in recent years. The main reason is that the wild boar population in Daqingshan has been overpopulating. Every autumn and winter, when the weather gets colder and the food in the mountains decreases, most wild boars go to the outskirts of the mountains and come down from time to time to steal wheat seedlings.
The day before yesterday, there was a wild boar that was so bold that it scurried into the village to steal food in broad daylight, which shocked people. It is indeed necessary to kill a few of them and kill their majesty.
Liu Junqi and the others came to explain their intention, and Liu Junhao also expressed his intention to go. However, I can't live without people, so I can only contribute my two yellow spots.
¡°Then he called Zhao Guangming and asked if he was coming.
The wound on this guy¡¯s face had just happened to be a few days old. When he heard that he was going to the mountains to hunt wild boars, he immediately became interested. He kept yelling on the phone, saying that he would be here in ten minutes.
After seeing off the hunting team, Liu Junhao took advantage of the time when his two children were asleep and started working in the backyard again, cleaning up the fallen leaves in the yard. Otherwise, fallen leaves from the spring rain will wash into the ditches, easily causing congestion and water accumulation, and it will also be inconvenient to catch eels in the future.
He was busy in front, and the two squirrels followed behind, squeaking and playing.
The one with the white hair on the eye is the one Xiaowazi sent to him. Liu Junhao took advantage of his wife¡¯s time to go to school and threw it into the stone lock space from time to time to recuperate. In just a few days, the squirrel's injuries have healed to some extent, and he is no longer afraid of people.
In order to distinguish the two squirrels, Liu Junhao named this one Baitiao based on its characteristics. After hearing this, the daughter-in-law said it was tacky, but she did not refute it, so the name Bai Tiao was decided.
There are similar people at home. Diandian felt that his territory was being violated, and kept chasing Bai Tiao away with bared teeth. This situation only lasted for two days, and the two squirrels quickly adapted to each other. They started chasing each other and playing around in the yard. The sun was shining brightly at noon yesterday, and Bai Tiao even helped Diandian move out the cabbage leaves he had stored to dry them. In that manner, he completely regarded himself as half the owner.
He is busy here. The mobile phone in his pocket rang. It was opened by a familiar tourist: "Liu Junhao, do you want a hedgehog?"
¡°Hedgehog, what do I need this for?¡± Liu Junhao responded casually.
"Well, I was walking in the garden of the community yesterday. I heard a noise in the flower pond. When I walked in, I found a hedgehog hidden inside. After I got home and fed it an apple, it didn't eat it at all. It huddled up and remained motionless. "
"Just stay still. At this time of year, hedgehogs hibernate early." Liu Junhao answered on the phone.
"I think so too. I'm afraid the hedgehog will freeze to death if we go down further. How about leaving it to your place?" the tourist said again.
"Khan. Don't bother. You can just take it to the outskirts of the city and dig a hole. Just put it in and bury some leaves on top." Liu Junhao replied gloomily. Nowadays, people regard their homes as animal shelters. They just received a squirrel a few days ago, and now someone is giving away a hedgehog.
"Oh. How deep should you dig A hedgehog needs to breathe when hibernating. If the leaves are thickly covered, it will be suffocated to death. It's too thin. What if the hedgehog freezes to death?" I didn't expect the other party to ask again. A series of questions.
Since he couldn¡¯t explain clearly on the phone, Liu Junhao had to reply: ¡°You might as well send it over.¡±
Saving a hedgehog¡¯s life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. After all, it is a life. He decided to wait for the hedgehog to be delivered to Liujiagou and throw it directly into the stone lock. Let it out next spring when the weather warms up. This thing won't eat fish anyway.
Zhao Guangming and others were lucky. They found traces of wild boars not long after entering the mountain. Hunted by several yellow-spotted dogs, two wild boars were recorded in the morning.
When dividing the pork in the afternoon, Liu Junqi cut off the top of the buttocks and brought it over, weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. Liu Junhao and his wife couldn't finish the meal, so they cut it in half for Professor Zhao's family.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and it¡¯s particularly cold at night. After coaxing the two little ones to sleep, Zhang Qian saw that it was still early, so she got up and sat in front of the computer to watch TV series. However, just half an hour later, she started stamping her feet.
It doesn¡¯t work at all. The more I stamp my feet, the colder I get. There was no choice but to call Liu Junhao up and light a brazier.
When the blazing charcoal fire started to burn, the coldness around you gradually disappeared.
Then Zhang Qian threw two handfuls of peanuts into the brazier.??Eating roasted peanuts and watching TV series. She didn't pay attention to the time at all, and it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
??????????????????????? I was in a hurry, the TV series paused, and then I hurried to the toilet.
As soon as she arrived at the bamboo forest to the east of the house, she heard a crashing sound from above. She stopped in a hurry, turned her head and looked up, and was stunned.
After solving the personal problem, Zhang Qian rushed into the bedroom and called her husband again.
"What are you doing?" Liu Junhao didn't know what his wife was up to, and he was feeling sleepy at the moment.
"Get up quickly and I'll take you to see something strange." Zhang Qian took his hand and pulled him under the bed.
"Daughter-in-law, look at what time it is. If there is anything strange, just tell me directly." The bed was very warm, and Liu Junhao didn't want to get out of bed at all.
"I just went to the toilet and saw a lot of turtle doves in our bamboo forest." Seeing that her husband didn't come down, Zhang Qian had no choice but to tell the story.
"How normal. Professor Zhao has turtle doves at home, and sometimes he spends the night in the bamboo forest." Liu Junhao really didn't understand what was so strange about this. He replied and fell asleep again.
"Get up! It's different. Let me ask you how many turtle doves Professor Zhao feeds?" Zhang Qian pulled her husband up again.
"There must be forty or fifty," Liu Junhao estimated. There should have been more, but Professor Zhao couldn't manage it. A lot of them have flown away in the past two years, and the number has not increased much.
"That's right. Guess how many I saw in the bamboo pole forest just now? There were two or three hundred of them. And they live in a different place than usual. They are very low and can be reached with your hand. Is this a strange thing?"
"It doesn't count Daughter-in-law, you won't call me out just because of this, right?" Liu Junhao already understood the whole thing clearly, and still didn't find anything strange about it. The phenomenon of turtle doves gathering in groups is rarely seen by ordinary people, but Liu Junhao has seen it many times.
"Then explain to me why there are so many of them together tonight and why they are so low." Seeing her husband's calm expression, Zhang Qian was very disappointed.
"The reason is very simple, why did you light the brazier tonight." After all this tossing. Liu Junhao no longer felt sleepy and asked patiently.
"Of course it's cold, you said Turtle Dove is too" Zhang Qian came to her senses.
"My opponent. This is my experience in catching turtle doves. Don't tell others. If other people know about it, the turtle doves in Liujiagou will suffer." Liu Junhao said with a slight smile: "Most people see turtle doves making nests. , it is taken for granted that turtle doves live in bird nests all year round. In fact, this view is ridiculously wrong. Except during the incubation period, turtle doves rarely stay overnight in their nests. Their habitat has a lot to do with temperature. The temperature is high and low. Affects the habitat of turtle doves.
Especially in autumn and winter, when the weather is very cold, turtle doves usually look for shelter from the wind to spend the night. And they live in groups consciously. A turtledove vigil is also arranged in the evening. When encountering danger, the turtle doves that are keeping watch at night will scream to wake up the other turtle doves. "
"No way, are turtledoves that smart? Why haven't I seen it in the encyclopedia? That's what experts concluded." Zhang Qian asked doubtfully.
"Do those experts stay in the wild at night in winter to observe turtle doves?" Liu Junhao asked disdainfully. So what Practice makes true knowledge, this is the valuable experience he and Liu Qiyong learned when they teamed up to hunt birds at night.
In fact, many birds are smarter than people think, and the same is true for turtle doves. Many people know that turtle doves will coo for a while before returning to their nests. A few more minutes. The other turtle dove will also return.
This phenomenon is very common. Most people probably wouldn¡¯t think that much when they see it.
Liu Junhao and the others were different. After a long period of observation and accumulation, they finally came to the conclusion that the first turtle dove that flew back was a sentry sent out to report the news. If this turtle dove finds that it is in danger, it will turn around and fly away, so that the second turtle dove will not come back for a short time.
So at that time, they wanted to hit the birds, that is, they could kill the turtle dove sentinels as soon as they came back. Either wait patiently and wait for other turtle doves to return to their nests before hunting.
The same principle holds true when turtle doves gather together in winter. The lower the temperature, the lower their stopping point. When it reaches a few degrees below zero, the turtle doves almost fall to the ground.
One winter evening. Liu Junhao and others noticed many turtle doves flying into the woods at the head of the village, so they made an appointment to come over to hunt turtle doves at night.
The scene I saw at that time was very similar to what Zhang Qian had just described. Regardless of the height of the trees in the entire forest, there were turtledoves parked on almost every tree, and they were sitting very low.
They caught a whole sack without much effort. In the 1980s, Daqingshan had little information and no one came to collect the game. So they didn't sell the turtle doves they caught. Everyone got a lot and took them home to fry.??.
In the next few days, they continued to hunt, and the woods yielded harvests every time. But when the temperature rises, not a single turtle dove can be found in that place.
"After listening to your analysis, I feel it is very reliable." Zhang Qian nodded convincingly.
"Of course." Liu Junhao was now talking about sex, and he opened his mouth to tell his wife about the precautions for hunting turtle doves at night. The best time is after eleven o'clock, when the turtle doves are in a deep sleep, even if the sentinels are keeping vigil. It is easiest to catch turtle doves at this time, and they will not be disturbed by the occasional noise. If it's too early, shining a flashlight on the tree can easily wake up the turtle doves. As soon as a turtle dove calls, the operation fails.
After listening to him talk so much, Zhang Qian said leisurely: "Your research on turtle doves was all obtained when capturing them, right?"
"Ahem I was young and ignorant at that time, but I have long since changed my ways." He defended weakly.
