Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

The little tune he hummed in his mouth almost turned into a breath that choked him to death. A breath hit his ribs. Zhao Yeqing held it for a long time before he regained his strength.

Cha Qi'er had recovered, but the scene in front of him couldn't.

Another third of the melon field in front of me was destroyed. Not only the melon vines were broken, but the two watermelons that were about to be picked were also hollowed out and eaten, leaving only a small half of the rind in place.

Zhao Yeqing felt extremely distressed. He quickly stepped forward to confirm the situation. He looked around carefully and found several deep scratches on the newly built wooden fence. The marks were very familiar.

She felt like she was about to faint from anger, and now she couldn't think of anything in her mind, so she shouted loudly: "Mu Xi!"

This angry shout was very effective. In less than half a minute, Mu Xi, who had just finished feeding the pigs, appeared next to the fence, "Why..."

Before the words were spoken, Mu Xi also saw the messy melon field and the very eye-catching tender green melon rinds lying on the spot.

He walked up to Zhao Yeqing and looked at the scratches on her fingers. He felt familiar at a glance, and found the memory of the scratches in his mind within ten seconds.

"Do you still remember the animal that looked very similar to a raccoon that we saw on the surveillance camera? The traces are exactly the same as those left on the fence over there." After Mu Xi said this, Zhao Yeqing couldn't remember it.

"Raccoons are omnivorous and eat fruits and meat. Could it be possible that this one looks like this too?"

After a period of anger and heartache, Zhao Yeqing had to accept the fact and began to recall the characteristics of the animal and the scenes that appeared in the video.

"How can we prevent this? The animal jumped on the fence as if to play. We can't guard it every night, right?"

Mu Xi looked at the messy melon field, pondered for a moment, and said, "If it doesn't work, just set a trap and catch him. After all, there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

The animals in the surveillance video don't look very big, so it sounds feasible to use traps to catch them.

It's just that it's good at climbing, and ordinary traps can't catch it. It has to be set up so that the animal can fall in, and the hole above has to be sealed to prevent it from climbing out.

Except for badgers, there should be no animals with that kind of appearance that can burrow underground in their country.

The two of them carefully confirmed that the thing was not a badger. It had longer fur than a badger, and its nose was not pointed. Its fur pattern was not the black and white stripes of the pig badgers that were common in the mountains near them.

The two of them were thinking that if they really encountered an unknown badger, their trap would be in vain.

Zhao Yeqing looked more open now, "It's okay. If it's really a badger, we'll consider ourselves unlucky and try another trap."

Fortunately, all the sweet potatoes have been recovered. Now there are no nearly ripe melons in the melon field that can attract the animal to appear again. The two placed sweet potatoes in the trap, and also placed two newly ripe cucumbers from the greenhouse in the courtyard. If you don't believe it, you can't seduce it. to that animal.

This animal must be caught. If it continues to be left unchecked, not only will the watermelon field suffer, but it may even crawl into the yard and all the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable field will suffer.

Judging from the appearance of the animal, if it is really omnivorous like the raccoon, the chickens and ducks in the house will also be killed.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, Zhao Yeqing grabbed four dogs and left scent around the yard again, which would have a somewhat deterrent effect.

The trap was set next to the watermelon field, and a camera was moved and hung on the fence next to the trap to monitor the situation at all times until night came.
