Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 161 The Spirit of the King

"Is this an ant...?" Dad Zhang jumped when he saw the big ants crawling around on the ground.Each one is as big as a fingernail, and if the tentacles and hind legs are included, it is about two centimeters long.

If this nest of ants wants to bite someone, it will be absolutely terrible.

"So much?" Professor Zhao said in surprise.He had seen this big black ant quite a few times when he went up the mountain before, but he only saw three or five at most each time. This was the first time he had seen such a large group of ants.

"Look at how long it is." Brother Zhang Qian retreated to a safe distance, relaxed, and stretched out his hand to grab the ground quickly, pinching a big ant in his hand.

He took out a one-yuan coin from his trouser pocket and put the ant on it. The ant's body took up more than half of the coin's length.

"This ant is not too big. I heard from a colleague before that the ants they saw in the Northeast are called big. One is as big as the belly of a thumb, and if people step on it, it will burst with a 'pop'." Professor Zhao He continued, then turned his head to look at Liu Junhao and asked, "I heard that this thing cures rheumatism after soaking in wine, right?"

"En." Liu Junhao nodded.

There is a lot of rain in Liujiagou, and the ground is very humid. Elderly people are prone to rheumatism.Generally, old people with this disease will bring a few reed pipes when they go up the mountain. When they see big ants, they immediately catch them and put them in the reed pipes, and then take them back to make wine.The effect of treating rheumatism with wine soaked in ants is very good, and many rheumatic diseases are cured by this thing.

"Which one of you brought a bottle, I want to catch some and go back to make wine. Xiaofan's grandma suffers from rheumatism." Aunt Zhang Qian asked after hearing that the big ants had such a miraculous effect.

Everyone glanced at each other and shook their heads. They went up the mountain purely for fun, and whoever had nothing to do would bring a bottle up the mountain.

Liu Junhao looked carefully for a long time and found that the ants were constantly crawling around on a dead tree stump.He was overjoyed immediately, it turned out that the ant nest was in the dead wood, no wonder there were so many big ants nearby.

"Wait, I'll get you a shovel and a bottle to catch ants when I get home..."

In less than half an hour, he caught up again.

I tapped the dead wood a few times with a shovel, and suddenly the ants inside swarmed out, crawling around in panic one by one on the tree trunk.

Now that he found the entrance of the cave, Liu Junhao kicked at the tree trunk with all his energy.The trunk had already been hollowed out by the ants, so he kicked half of the dead tree stump with one step.

"The ants are stealing so much rice..." Xiao Haoyu was bold, and immediately approached the tree stump.

I saw a large pile of snow-white things scattered on the fracture, which suddenly looked similar to rice grains.

"This is an ant egg. It seems that it can be used for cooking." Professor Zhao also leaned over and squeezed one at the risk of being bitten by ants.The appearance is white and tender, and there is a layer of film on the surface, which looks pleasing to the eye.

"Is this edible?" Liu Junhao looked suspiciously at the white ant eggs on the ground.

"Of course, this stuff is high in protein, and it tastes better than the pupa of the bumble bee. Let's get some and try it at home."

Speaking of fried bee pupa, they have eaten it several times these days.But every time I get half a bowl at most, it's gone before I've had enough, and I'm very puzzled.

Hearing what he said, Liu Junhao also squatted on the ground to collect it, and after a while, he got half of the wine bottle.

Back home, Professor Zhao put the ant eggs in a bowl, rinsed them several times, put them in a strainer and boiled them in boiling water, then added garlic juice, green onion, salt, vinegar and other seasonings.

"How about you all come over and have a taste?" He warmly invited everyone.

As a result, no one stepped forward except Liu Junhao.He gently picked up a grain with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to bite. It tasted a bit sour at first, but it soon became so delicious that people couldn't help but salivate.

"Delicious," he said, picked up two more with chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

"I don't worry about that. I just heard people say it was done like this before." Professor Zhao also held out his chopsticks.

Khan, so I used myself as an experimental product.

Under the repeated recommendation of the two of them, everyone came forward to taste it with chopsticks, and kept nodding after tasting it.

Soon half a bowl of ant eggs were eaten up, and everyone felt a little unsatisfied.

After lunch, Zhang Qian's parents and others hurriedly wanted to leave.Liu Junhao originally wanted them to stay in Liujiagou for a few more days, but was rejected by Zhang's mother.

If the daughter is already married, it goes without saying that it is only natural for the mother-in-law to stay at the son-in-law's house for a few days, and no one can say anything.But the two are not married yet, and the two of them live here anxiously, what is that called.

Seeing their resolute refusal, Liu Junhao had no choice but to prepare things quickly.

When they came, they brought a lot of gifts in big and small bags, and when they left, as a junior, I certainly couldn't let them go home empty-handed.

Soil honey is definitely indispensable. Zhang Ma, who gave it last time, said that the effect is very good after drinking it. Let’s get two bottles back this time.

There is also Jujulian, Dad Zhang was full of praise for the dish yesterday, and I will get a big plastic bag later, anyway, there are plenty of such things in the backyard.

There are also a few large strings of dried fungus hanging under the eaves of my house, let them take them back too.

He picked these fungus from the trunk of the poplar tree at the base of the wall when he was free. They are absolutely wild.After soaking in water, the color is bright and watery, and you can tell it is top grade at a glance.

I don't know if it's because the base of the wall is too damp, or because of the spring water, the fungus on the tree trunk keeps growing even if it doesn't rain, and Liu Junhao can make a big bowl every ten days.He and Professor Zhao's family couldn't eat enough, so they picked a lot and put them under the eaves to dry.

After sending the person away, Liu Junhao completely relaxed again.

These two days seemed to be traveling in mountains and rivers, but in fact he didn't relax much.After all, most people are here for the first time, so they must be entertained well.

It's okay to stay in the yard, so let's take Chitu and go out for a walk.I have been busy taking care of the guests these two days, so I haven't fed it much.

Leading the red rabbit to the campus, Liu Junhao was just about to tie the reins when "Meow" suddenly jumped out of a half-sized tabby cat from the grass, staring at him intently, with some light in its eyes.

Whose cat runs so far?He was taken aback by this sudden appearance.

Although cats like to play wild and often run around in the village, they usually don't go outside the village, and even seldom catch mice in the fields.Because that's the job of owls, they can't steal other people's jobs.But how did this kind of thing come to the campus?
Could it be a grass leopard?Liu Junhao immediately had another thought.

Not to mention, after having this idea, no matter how you look at this thing in front of you, it looks like a grass leopard.

Since the grass leopard was discovered on the mountain more than two months ago, many people have encountered it one after another these days.But this thing is too timid, it will run away as soon as it sees people, and it won't give you a chance to get close at all.

What's going on with this guy in front of him, it doesn't seem to be afraid of himself at all.

Liu Junhao tentatively took two steps forward, and the "Grass Leopard" quickly jumped into the grass. When he turned around, this guy followed him neither far nor near.

Could it be that this guy is still relying on himself?Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, Liu Junhao simply ignored it and walked slowly around the campus.

After several rains, the weeds on the campus grew wildly, and many places were already knee-deep.It seems that after the start of school, the first thing students do is to weed the campus.

When he moved his head to the door of the classroom window, he was immediately happy, and saw a poplar sapling about half a person's height growing in the middle of the classroom.

This is also considered a rarity, but unfortunately I don't have a camera at hand, otherwise I have to take pictures.

The campus is so big, after walking around for a while, Liu Junhao was also annoyed, so he just lay down in the grass and squinted his eyes to take a nap.

Seeing him lying there motionless, the "grass leopard" became bolder and approached tentatively.In the end, this guy actually stopped only three steps away from Liu Junhao, then squatted down, squinted his eyes and dozed off.

What kind of thing is this, it seems that it really depends on him, could it be that this is the legendary kingly spirit, once he shows his power, all the female animals in a radius of a hundred miles immediately submit.

Khan, I really read too many online novels.He hurriedly sat up and drove this absurd thought out of his mind.

When he came together, the "Grass Leopard" immediately fled quickly, and then approached again.

"This thing must be very hungry. If you see someone looking for food to eat." Liu Junhao touched his body, but he didn't bring anything to eat, so he had to spread his hands.

When Chitu was almost full and he led him home, this guy was still following closely behind, apparently wanting to follow him home.

"Xiaohao, where did you pick up a kitten?" Professor Zhao was sitting on the side of the road choosing vegetables, and asked with a smile when he saw a yellow kitten following him.

"Kitten? This thing is very likely to be a grass leopard. It has recognized me as its master." Liu Junhao said with a little satisfaction. "Damn, have you ever seen a grass leopard not afraid of people? Just do an experiment to find out if it's a kitten." Professor Zhao went back to the room and took a pickled floating tip and threw it on the ground.

"Meow..." This guy rushed over immediately, and ran away with his buoyant tips in his hands.

It turned out to be a wild cat, no wonder Liu Junhao felt lost when he saw people getting so close.Just now, he was thinking of using Zhang Qian's mobile phone to take a few photos with "Grass Leopard" and post them on the forum to open everyone's eyes.

Now that the category of this guy was determined, he lost interest completely and led Chitu home directly.

The stray cat saw him enter the yard, and also got in through the hole of the water channel.

"Wow..." Xiaopi was wagging his tail to welcome his master, when he suddenly saw a wild cat coming in, he immediately rushed towards him screaming wildly.

The cat's reaction was also considered sensitive. With a sprint, it had already jumped onto the poplar tree, and then barked "meow meow meow" at the bottom of the tree.

Xiaopi doesn't know how to climb trees, so he can only gather around the tree and stare blankly at the moment.

Seeing that Xiaopi was getting angry, Liu Junhao hurriedly called him back.Let the cat stay in the yard first, just in time to catch mice for Professor Zhao's house.

There is Xiaopi sitting in his yard, and the mice dare not come over easily.On the contrary, Professor Zhao's house has a lot of mice, and Xiaopi has to catch them every now and then.
