Xanadu space

The banks of the pond are covered with vine-like grasses, and on the grasses that are not tall, there are places that are bent, and there is a trace of blood stains on them, mixed with the green grass, which is not very obvious. If it wasn't for Ah Yong looking for it on purpose, most people really wouldn't notice it.

"I thought I met a vixen and disappeared in front of my eyes for no reason? It turns out that my marksmanship is still very accurate. That fox must have been injured. How about we go after it?"

A Yong saw the blood stains on the ground, and he understood that the fox played dead to dissuade their vigilance, and took the opportunity to escape when they lowered their heads and hurried on their way!

Zhang Xiang's face turned to one side, and he couldn't help laughing. In fact, he had already seen the wild duck in the fox's mouth when he was walking, and he ran away with the duck in his mouth.

At that time, he wondered if the fox had been shot. The blood stains on the ground might have been left by wild ducks.

"I said, Ah Yong, wake up a little bit when you sleep at night. Be careful that the fox gets into your bed. This fox was injured by you. She will definitely turn into a beautiful woman at night and come to seek revenge on you!"

Wang Yi looked at A Yong's remorseful expression, and deliberately teased him there.

"Come on, if you really turn into a beauty and come tonight, who knows who will seek revenge!"

Ah Yong was very depressed at first, but he laughed happily when Wang Yi made such a joke, and the remorse caused by the fox pretending to be dead and running away immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, let's just sit and wait by this pond, as long as there are bigger prey nearby. They will find a place to drink water, as long as we hide well, so that the prey won't notice it. It must be one by a dozen allow!"

Zhang Xiang secretly laughed, that weird folks say "cunning fox", that little fox is really interesting, since it has already escaped, it's better to divert Ayong's attention.

Most animals need to drink water, and now there is severe drought everywhere, as long as this water source is well controlled.Don't worry about no prey coming to your door!

With this in mind, they found a place with a little bushes to hide, which was very close to the pond.But the bushes were too small to cover them all.

In the end, Zhang thought of a way to get a lot of long grass and weave it with a kind of bark.Then put it on the body to cover it up a little bit.They also found some twigs from other places, and a few people crawled on the ground, barely hiding their figures.

Wherever Wang Yi crawled, he seemed very excited. They looked like they were thieves now, which was really exciting.

Not long after they hid here, the small animals who came to drink the water didn't see it, but saw something swimming in the pond.Wang Yi pulled Zhang Xiang's sleeve and motioned him to look into the water.

Because it is close to the pond.Therefore, Zhang wanted to see clearly the movements on the water.There was an animal about the size of a pug on the river. Its body was slender, more than half a meter long, like a cylinder, with a short and wide head and a slightly flat front end.

The body hair is long and fine, with a silky luster; the undercoat is thick and soft.Body slightly reddish brown.It looks a bit like the "fish cat" that the villagers say, which is a kind of amphibious animal named "Otter".

Otters are nocturnal and feed on fish, rodents, frogs, crabs, and waterfowl.They are good at swimming and diving, and can stay underwater for 2 minutes at a time.Catching fish is as fast as a cat catching a mouse. Before preying, it often looks down on the stones by the water, and once it finds its prey, it quickly catches it.

Even when they are full, they continue to kill fish endlessly, which is very harmful to the fish farming industry.However, a clever otter can become an expert fisherman to serve fishermen after half a year of training.Affectionately called by fishermen - Yumaozi.

Otters often live alone and do not live in groups.Most of them live in natural caves, and they often like to live in secluded embankments with rock crevices and old roots of big trees.The otter likes to fish. It is a vigorous hunter in the water. All fish, frogs, and shrimps caught by the otter can hardly escape bad luck, and they will surely die in the otter's mouth in the end.

They store food in water, and build dikes and weirs between land and water to form pools and caves through which water flows.Sometimes it inhabits bamboo forests and grass shrubs, and generally has a certain living area.It has no strength on the shore, but it is powerful in the water.

Otter is a valuable fur resource animal. Its fur is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very thick. The fluff is thick and soft, and it is almost impossible to be soaked by water. It has excellent thermal insulation and antifreeze effects.Otter liver and otter bone also have medicinal value.

Because otters have high requirements on the living environment, otters will be directly poisoned to death in places with severe pollution and poor water quality.In addition, otter fur is expensive, and liver is considered a valuable Chinese medicinal material, so this kind of animal is becoming less and less common in Zhangjiadian, and I didn't expect to see it in this pond.

"I'm here to shoot? I'm afraid it will slip into the water!"

Ayong on the side speaks in a low voice, he doesn't know this kind of animal, but he thinks its fur is very beautiful, so it should be a good thing.

"Forget it, it's too cunning in the water, it even scared the other prey away with one miss!"

Zhang Xiang also lowered his voice, and only whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear. It was enough for them to admire the otter, and there was no need to kill it.

At first, Zhang wanted to try to catch such a beautiful animal, but when he knew that it was a fish cat, he knew it would not work.

Because even after the fish cats are full, they will continue to hunt and kill fish endlessly. If Xujia Lake raises a few of these fish cats, the fish production will definitely be greatly affected by the end of the year.

So Zhang Xiang also dismissed this idea, and this guy is too flexible in the water, it still feels a little impossible if you want to use a bird gun, and you will startle the snake instead.

Since Zhang wanted to say that, Ah Yong and Wang Yi gave up the idea, and continued to wait obediently. Sure enough, a guest came by the fish pond, and everyone laughed this time.

Because everyone knows the animal that came, that is the famous weasel, the legendary chicken thief, the weasel in the saying that the weasel pays new year greetings to the chicken-uneasy and kind.

The characteristic of weasel is that it looks like a mouse but has a long body and a big tail. It has a thin body and short limbs. It is a small carnivore.

Most weasels have russet fur with white or yellow underparts.In winter, a few species such as ermine and weasel will shed their summer fur and replace it with winter fur, so white individuals appear, which is a protective color suitable for snowy landscapes.

The fur color of the weasel is bright brown, apricot or golden yellow, the needle hair is fine and dense, and the undercoat is rich. It is the raw material of high-quality fur and is known as the oriental mink in the international fur market.In addition, the weasel's tail hair can be used to make wolf hair pens.It is a famous pen-making material, and its value far exceeds that of purple lambskin.It is a treasure for scholars.

People may see this animal with a small head and sharp mouth, sneaky like a mouse, and then find that it also sneaks up on domestic chickens and rabbits, like a wolf, so it is named.In fact, the weasel is neither a rat nor a wolf, but a weasel in the class Mammalia.

In the impression of the Chinese, the weasel, like the fox, is a monster.The Chinese dislike the weasel. Apart from its ability to sneak up on poultry, the more important thing is that it has the same "magic" as the fox, which can confuse the weak and sick.

To deal with this kind of patients, people will invite respectable old people or witches to face the patients, and persuade the weasel to leave quickly with kind words, and some will use hard methods to sternly reprimand: If you don't know how to go away again, what will happen.

Weasel is a common small carnivore in nature, but it just follows the law of "natural selection", and in the process of evolution, it has some survival skills that other animals do not have.

The ferret can shrink its bones and pass through holes or gaps smaller than its body. There are a pair of sebaceous odor glands next to the anus of the ferret, which can release odor when it is in danger.Therefore, the ferret also has an inelegant nickname, called the skunk.

A hedgehog curled up into a ball, the tiger couldn't help it, but the weasel could.It only needs to find a gap in the hedgehog's body, turn around, and fart.After a while, the hedgehog was stunned by the weasel's fart, and stretched out obediently.At this time, the ferret can easily perform a "surgical operation" on the hedgehog and enjoy the delicious food to its fullest.

With a "bang" gunshot, Ah Yong raised his gun and dropped it. His marksmanship was very accurate, and the green smoke on the gun hadn't even dissipated, and the weasel on the bank of the pond had already fallen to the ground.

Zhang thought that a few of them jumped out. The weasel might have been hunting frogs, insects and fish on the shore, but Ayong shot him straight.

"Ayong, your marksmanship is really accurate, and the head of the weasel was blown off with one shot!"

Wang Yi held the weasel whose head was bleeding and whose paws were still trembling, with a look of joy on his face.The fur of this weasel is also very precious. The skin is strong and the fur is long and thick, which can be used as a coat. The tail hair is the raw material for the high-end brush "Langhao".

"That's right, I used to be a sharpshooter, and that's a perfect shot, it's a trifle!"

Although Ah Yong was humbly speaking, the smile in the corner of his eyes betrayed him, this weasel finally saved him a little face, otherwise the fox ran away and the weasel missed, it would be too embarrassing.

"Let's put away the weasels and wild ducks first. Once the gunshots are fired, it may take a while for prey to come to this pond!"

Looking at the shiny weasel, Zhang Xiang was also very happy in his heart, but he didn't forget to remind the two of them.It's still early, maybe there are other things to drink water! (To be continued..)
