Chapter 23 Strange Field Puzzle

The next morning, the old lady got up to feed the pigs and cook. The people in the mountains got up very early. The uncle had already rolled the pig grass and said to his wife, "I'm going to pick some fresh vegetables. You can feed the pigs first!" The aunt nodded and promised to pick up the pig grass on the ground and walk to the stove.

The genius was bright. The uncle walked on the path on the ground, his feet mixed with thick grass on the roadside, and the dew on it wet his shoes and trousers. Walking to his own land, there were lentils and cucumber shelves set up by the uncle with bamboo, and there were hollow vegetables on the edge of the shelf with tender vegetable tips. The uncle searched in the cucumber vine. Before the season of a large number of melons, he only found a few tender cucumbers. The uncle still took them all off and picked some tender tips of hollow vegetables.

Those lentils are in the flowering season, just like a large purple waterfall, with a faint fragrance of lentil flowers in the air. Some eggplants and peppers are planted in the middle. Eggplant is also the flowering season. The peppers bear fruit but are still tender. It is not the right time to pick them now.

The uncle looked around and saw that the ditch on the edge of the ground was full of fishy grass. I walked over, which cleared the heat and detoxified, and the tender leaves and roots were crispy and delicious. There, the uncle picked a handful of fishy grass and walked home with a bamboo dustpan. After arriving home, the two began to be busy making breakfast.

The cat is much more diligent than the two boys. It has been following the aunt, who cooks pig food, and he is looking there. The aunt took the pig food to feed, and it also followed to lie on the railing and looked curiously at the two pigs eating inside. The aunt said to the uncle that the dog is as human as a child. The uncle touched the cat's head and motioned it to sit in front of him. The cat, like a sensible child, quickly sat down and touched its huge head lovingly.

The breakfast was ready, and the uncle called two boys to get up for dinner through the door. Zhou Xirui opened his eyes and woke up. There was a smell of choking smoke in the air. When cooking in the countryside, the smell of smoke was very strong. It was already dawn outside, the birds were chirping, and the sun came out. The light shone on the spider web under the eaves, which was blown golden by the wind. Acuo also got up and walked to the courtyard and stretched out. The aunt brought out a basin of water: "Xiao Rui, come and wash your face!" The two agreed with a smile. Zhou Xirui said shyly, "Auntie, we slept too heavily. You and your uncle are up, but we haven't got up yet!" The aunt smiled and said, "It's okay. We are used to getting up early. You young people sleep well and it's normal to get up late. My son won't wake up until noon when he comes back, hehe!"

The uncle called them for dinner in the hall. The two walked into the hall, and the food had been set on the table. Although there was no meat, the crispy cabbage, the cold red Houttuy grass, and the preserved cucumber left last night looked fresh and delicious.

The two sat down and ate. The uncle said while eating, "You two have no one to lead the way to Laojun Mountain. There are wild boars on it. This thing has fangs and is powerful. Recently, the number has always hurt people, or the uncle will take you up!" The aunt was also relieved and said, "Let the uncle take you up. He is familiar with the road. Besides, he has a shotgun, and he can defend himself in case of danger." The uncle looked at the aunt with joy: "You agreed to return the shotgun to me!" The aunt gave the uncle a white look: "Only you can take the children up the mountain this time, and you still have to take them back in the future!" The uncle nodded quickly and agreed, lest the aunt change her words. The shotgun was the uncle's favorite. He hasn't touched it for a month, and his hands began to itch a little.

Zhou Xirui and A Cuo agreed to the uncle's suggestion with a smile, but they said that they wanted to go to the uncle's strange field today and go to Laojun Mountain tomorrow. The uncle smiled and said yes, let's see if these two dolls can solve this mystery. After eating, the two children felt sorry and wanted to help the aunt wash the dishes. But I was robbed by the aunt and said that men can't do this. Let's go to the field with the uncle! The two had to agree with a smile.

They chatted with their uncle all the way to the strange field. The cat ran happily in front of them. The mountain was much happier than being locked in a small corner of the villa. The cat ran around excitedly and chased after seeing a cat. The cat quickly rushed up to the tree in fear, stood on the branch and sprayed phlegm at the cat with its back. The cat turned his head and ran back, and a jumping frog attracted its attention again and chased it all the way.

The uncle looked at the cat with a smile and said, "If this dog is taken to the mountains to hunt, it is a good helper!" They unconsciously arrived at the edge of the field, and the uncle pointed out, "This is the field!" Zhou Xirui looked at this quickly and found that it was no different from other places. The uncle went to the middle and pointed to the place where it shines in February and August every year. The uncle said, "Strangely, there is usually no light."

Acuo walked over and took the hoe in his uncle's hand and dug it up. After digging a small pit, he found that the soil below was no different from the one above. Zhou Xirui took out a rectangular instrument similar to a mobile phone from his backpack and detected the pit. Looking at the data shown above, I decided to pass it to the experts of the research institute later and ask them to analyze what is below.

He went down again and took some photos on a cliff, asking experts to combine geological structures to analyze what the situation was. At this time, he heard the cat whining in the field above, and Acuo also called him up. Zhou Xirui quickly came up and took a look. The cat seemed to have found something under the soil of the field. He was digging hard, and A Cuo was helping the cat dig the earth.

Dig down the pit dug more than one meter, and a big pit appeared. Good boy, this pit is full of grain, most of which are corn, a small amount of rice and some nuts such as pine nuts. It looks like a field mouse's nest, but the uncle said that he had never seen a field mouse's nest so big and store so much food. Atso looked at the many basketball holes on the wall of the dug pit. Looking through the hole, it looked like a dark tunnel.

At this time, the cat sniffed one by one in those holes, as if it smelled something, which made it excited to look for it. Suddenly, the cat jumped out of the pit and ran to the other end of the ground and dug it with its claws. The uncle and Acuo also hurried to help dig. They also dug more than a meter below and the soil collapsed, and a black-skinned animal popped out of it and died in a flash.

At this time, the cat dug to the edge of the collapsed place for a while, and another black animal rushed out, but this one did not escape, but rushed to the edge of the pit and shrank there in panic. Zhou Xirui took a closer look. This thing is not as big as a vole. It is as big as a fat cat, and its head and tail are like a squirrel, but he has never seen such a big "squirrel". Its fur is oily and beautiful. After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Xirui was not sure what this thing was. A Cuo walked over and wanted to grab it. Unexpectedly, the little thing was very fierce and opened his mouth and bit A Cuo's hand fiercely.

Acuo shouted in pain, withdrew his hand, and the blood suddenly flowed into the soil. He quickly tightened the wound. Zhou Xirui quickly took out the disinfectant spray in his backpack, sprayed Acuo on the wound to stop the bleeding, and then took out the bleeding and wrapped it tightly.

At this time, the cat cubs dug out a few cubs of the animal where the animal came out. The cubs were not hairy yet, and the pink ones were a little like hairless mice. The big guy on the side saw that the cub was dug out by the cat and made a sharp cry. He rushed to the front of the cub like lightning and blocked it in front of the cat to watch it protect the cub to death. He did not dare to speak rashly, and the two sides became deadlocked.

The uncle hurried home, brought a dense cage made of bamboo and a bamboo cover, and then gently walked over and covered the big guy. Zhou Xirui took the opportunity to put the baby into the cage. Then the uncle wrapped his hands in a dress and pressed the big guy down and stuffed it into the cage.

At this time, everyone began to clean up its nest and dug out several earthen eggs in the collapsed pit, next to which there were fresh feces wrapped in soil and egg-shaped. It turns out that the earthen eggs are the way to clean up the feces. This thing is very clean. The feces in the nest are like dung beet-shell mantis, rolling them into egg-shaped piles together. No wonder after the uncle dug it out last time, the pit was blocked by this thing the next day.

The puzzle was figured out, and the uncle happily shoveled the grain in the pit into the basket and packed two baskets. I carried it home with a pole and broke it for the aunt with a machine to feed the pigs.

After returning home, Acuo asked his uncle for a bamboo and went to cut bamboo sticks under the eaves. Zhou Xirui has been looking at the strange mouse by the cage, not knowing what species it is. He took some photos, together with underground mineral information and geological faults measured by instruments, and sent them to Professor Zhao, the head of his research institute, on the computer, so that experts could analyze why there was white light. Let them also check what this strange mouse is.

The aunt also looked outside the cage for a long time and suddenly remembered that when she went there last year, she walked under a tree, and hazel shells fell down and hit her head. She looked up at such a thing crouching on the tree. She thought it was a squirrel and didn't care. I didn't expect this thing to hollow out my own land. It's amazing!

Hearing the aunt say that this thing stayed on the tree, Zhou Xirui thought that this thing might be a squirrel, but it was just bigger. Look at the fur of this thing. It's better than that of the plateau fox. He turned to the uncle and said, "The fur of this animal is really good. If you breed this thing, you will definitely make money." Hearing this, the uncle was also interested in squatting outside the cage and looking at it carefully.
