Cultivation Medicine Farmer

Chapter 50 The Egg Thief

On Saturday, Dawazi really went to the mountain to help Feng Junhui pull weeds and catch insects, and he didn't listen to what he said, insisting on helping.In the end, Feng Junhui quietly recounted half of the adult's wages to the eldest son's grandfather, and took the eldest son to the small lake to play around.

The eldest son's parents both work outside, but their educational level is not high.Don't look at those people who say that moving bricks on the construction site costs hundreds of dollars a day, but this is not the case at all.If there is no work to do or no way to go to work when it rains, there is no money for that day.Only those who work have money, and those who do not have work have no money. There must be at least a hundred or so days a year without wages.The work that women do on the construction site is definitely not light, but the wages are much less than men.

In addition, if my waist is sore and my legs hurt on weekdays, there will always be something to do, so I have to post some money.After all this calculation, there is not much money left.They also plan to save some tuition fees for the eldest son, and send him to study in the city in the future. It is best to buy a house in the city.Buying real estate for their children has now become the responsibility of contemporary parents, and it is a responsibility that they shoulder inexplicably.

"Catch it back to give you milk, and let her cook you fish soup." Feng Junhui gave Dawazi a fish caught by Hurricane from the lake.

Now the fish in the lake is getting more and more delicious, and even Hurricane is addicted to it.Now from time to time, he would go down to the lake to catch some fish, touch some shrimps and crabs, and ask Feng Junhui to make them for him to eat.For this reason, Hurricane also specially asked Feng Junhui to use fish, shrimp and crabs in the small lake to make bird food, which was very popular with the birds at home.

Xue Jing also came here many times to talk about the fish, shrimp and crabs in the lake.There is aura in this lake, fish, shrimps and crabs grow fast and reproduce even faster, Feng Junhui and the others can't eat them at all.However, the meat of these fish, shrimp and crabs contained a bit of aura, more than the vegetables Feng Junhui grew himself.So Feng Junhui didn't let him take too much away, but Qingfeng ordered some fish and shrimp from Feng Junhui.

"No, I can't ask for this." Feng Junhui secretly counted half of the eldest son's salary. His master went back to talk about it, and told the elder son not to go tomorrow, lest others say that he deliberately mixed up his salary.For this reason, the eldest son still felt quite embarrassed, so he really didn't dare to go on weekends.

"I'm not for you, I'm for my uncle and aunt." Feng Junhui stuffed the fish into his hand, and the eldest son's grandparents are also Feng Junhui's uncle and aunt.

"Uncle Junhui, I will be scolded by the master if I take this back." The eldest child was about to cry, he really didn't dare to take this.

"If your grandfather wants to scold you, just say that I am filial to my uncle and aunt, and let him scold me. By the way, last time your grandfather said that he wanted to grow some fruits. I have grown some purple wolfberries and ginseng fruits here. These grow fast. , I just asked your grandfather to come over and dig some seedlings to plant. The money for the seedlings will be given to me when your parents come back, or I will take back the money when the goji berry bears fruit, and I will deduct the money for the seedlings." On the way, he explained.

"Okay!" The eldest child nodded while holding the fish.

"Remember to bring my words with you, don't say anything wrong." Feng Junhui still did not forget to explain.His old uncle is just too honest, and now that the family can't afford that much money, he doesn't want to come to get the seedlings.Feng Junhui believed that the seedlings he cultivated would definitely grow well and bear fruit, so he thought of a way for his old uncle to plant them first.

"It's good." The eldest child knew that Feng Junhui took good care of their family, so he took these words seriously.

With a few fish in hand, Feng Junhui went to his uncle's house and the village head's house along the way, and sent them some fish.Hurricane is the most inaccurate in hand, and every time it catches a lot of fish.Of course, if you really want to let the birds at home eat it, you will definitely be able to finish it.However, Feng Junhui still thinks that if he eats well for his relatives and has good things, he naturally thinks of his own family.

At first, he was being dragged by the village chief to chat, but Feng Junhui received a call from Huang Shengwei, saying that the birds at home were making trouble, and Feng Junhui was asked to go back quickly.The birds at home are usually peaceful, and if they really make a fuss over food, they will definitely pester Feng Junhui and won't find anyone else.Immediately, Feng Junhui hurried home with Hurricane.

Before reaching the door of the house, Feng Junhui heard the chirping of birds in the yard.He walked back quickly in two steps, and saw the birds at home standing around the courtyard dam.When they passed by, the birds automatically made way for him.Only then did he realize that it was actually Xiao Ba who was surrounded by this flock of birds.

"Xiao Ba, what did you do?" can arouse the public outrage of so many birds.

Seeing Feng Junhui coming and the hurricane, Xiao Ba shrank back and continued lying on the ground.Unusual, it didn't open its mouth to defend itself, but lowered its head, not daring to look at Feng Junhui and the others.

Seeing Xiao Ba's appearance, Feng Junhui immediately knew that this was entirely Xiao Ba's fault, and he also knew that he had made a mistake, not a small one!But he was very curious about what Xiao Ba did: "Xiao Ba, get up, tell me what you did?"

Xiao Ba didn't even lift his head this time, and just lay down on the ground pretending to be a dead bird.Instead, a pair of black-gray cuckoos with white spots stood out from the flock.They stood up and yelled at Feng Junhui sternly, and looked at Xiao Ba bitterly from time to time.Not long after the pair of birds came out, another pair of turtledoves came out and complained together with the pair of cuckoo birds.

Feng Junhui didn't understand what they meant at all, but Hurricane could hear them clearly.Then he walked up to Xiaoba and picked it up.I saw bird eggs full of spots appearing on the place where Xiaoba was lying on his stomach.Feng Junhui didn't dare to go forward to pick it up, because he was afraid that his breath would contaminate the egg, and then the bird that gave birth to the egg would abandon the egg.

Generally, after a bird lays an egg, its own breath will remain on the egg.If people take it, or other birds occupy the nest, they can't feel their own breath on the egg they laid, or feel that other breaths are too strong, they will directly abandon the egg.Therefore, many people who dig out the bird's nest, if they squeeze every egg and put it back, after a while, they will find that in the original bird's nest, the big bird has flown away, leaving only a nest of bird's eggs.

"It stole the bird's egg." Hurricane said, pointing to the bird's egg on the ground.

"Ah! Whose egg was stolen?" Feng Junhui looked at the egg, but he still couldn't tell what kind of bird it was from the egg's appearance.

"Its eggs were stolen," Hurricane pointed to the pair of mountain doves, and then to the pair of cuckoos: "but the eggs belong to his family."

"?" Feng Junhui was a little confused, what's going on.

In fact, this kind of competition between two birds for one egg can happen mainly because of the wonderful flower of the cuckoo bird.It has many elegant aliases, such as Wanggui, Cuigui, Du Yu, etc., because it keeps barking day and night, and the sound is shrill, as if calling for relatives far away.

Therefore, poets who are sad about spring and autumn always like to pin those sorrows of missing and looking forward to the king on the cuckoo.Since ancient times, there have been many poems about it.Like Li Bai's "One cry, one ileum, one heartbreak, three springs and three moons, remembering three buses", "I also heard that Zigui crows at the night moon, worrying about the empty mountain", Li Shangyin's "Zhuang Sheng's dream is fascinated by butterflies, Wangdi's spring heart entrusts the cuckoo", etc., are all wandering. A famous sentence through the ages.

But behind these, the cuckoo has a particularly strange living habit.They are not enough eggs, they can be said to be the scum and strange works of birds, so bad that there is a phoenix.They lay their eggs in other birds' nests, and they know how to disguise their eggs as other birds'.

The hatching time of their eggs is generally relatively short. After their chicks hatch, they will push other eggs in the nest out of the nest and break them.Moreover, the young birds will beg for food terribly.Let other birds raise their cubs for themselves, and even kill other people's eggs, so this cuckoo can be regarded as a fox among birds, and it is still the bad one.

Of course, ordinary farmers like to call cuckoos cuckoos, because their calls are like "cuckoo cuckoo".From March to July of the lunar calendar, the cry of "cuckoo" resounds across the mountains and fields in the north and south of our country.

It is precisely because of their habit of laying eggs in other bird's nests that there are two pairs of birds in today's suffering masters.This cuckoo bird is indeed quite shameless, and at this time he has the nerve to stand up and accuse Xiao Ba.Of course, Xiao Ba's behavior of stealing bird eggs cannot be tolerated.It's no wonder that it was besieged by birds. After all, many birds are laying eggs now. How can they rest assured that there is such an egg thief, or a house thief.As for the cuckoo laying eggs in other bird's nests, this is a natural law, and Feng Junhui does not intend to correct them.

"Xiao Ba, why did you steal their eggs?" Feng Junhui asked, looking at Xiao Ba who was being held in Hurricane's hands and folded his body.

Xiao Ba remained silent, with the attitude of "I won't say anything if I'm beaten to death, or I won't say anything if I can't be beaten to death".Feng Junhui thought he couldn't ask the reason today, but Ziwei, who had been standing on the branch looking at the sky, flew down, looked at Xiao Ba, then at Feng Junhui, and said: "I No eggs." There was a deep sense of disappointment in his tone.

"You are a male bird! Where did you get your eggs!" Hurricane felt that this pair of stupid birds were really stupid!Both of them are male birds, but he laid an egg and let him have a look. He was also very curious about what the egg laid by this male bird looked like!

"Pfft..." Feng Junhui couldn't help laughing.Then he straightened his distorted expression, and asked Xiaoba seriously: "Because Ziwei doesn't have bird eggs, and you can't lay bird eggs, so you just want to steal one for him and let him hatch?" Ba's liking for Ziwei, this thing can really be done.

Xiao Ba finally nodded, and struggled to fly down from Hurricane's hand, blocking Ziwei's front.With its small body, it can't cover it at all.But the heart for Ziwei is real: "Because Ziwei wants a baby bird, we will treat this baby well."

"No matter how much you like this bird egg and how good you are to the baby bird in the future, it will not necessarily be happy if it is its own parents. Its parents will also be very sad. Besides, this behavior of stealing bird eggs is wrong. Just like the bird thief we caught last time." Feng Junhui said.

"But they don't want their own eggs! I just picked them up and gave them to Ziwei." Xiao Ba immediately pointed to the pair of cuckoo birds: "It laid eggs in other people's houses, so don't want them."

Well, it turned out to be like this, no wonder Xiaoba stole the cuckoo's egg alone.Feng Junhui didn't know how to answer Xiaoba for a while, it was like.Some people threw their own children on the street, others picked them up and wanted to raise them themselves, and now their biological parents suddenly appeared again.

The pair of turtledoves over there who clearly understood Xiaoba's meaning were not happy again, they flew to the egg and looked up and down for a long time.Then it screamed a few times, and flew towards the pair of cuckoos, intending to make them tear it up.This pair of shameless cuckoos, after seeing their crimes exposed, the two cuckoos ran away directly, and they didn't even want the egg!

"Look, look, they don't want them anymore!" Xiaoba stepped forward, carefully grabbed the egg and put it in front of Ziwei. This egg is full of its breath, and Ziwei will definitely like it!

Feng Junhui will be even more speechless now, how should he speak.But still symbolically said: "Xiao Ba, you can't steal other birds' eggs."

"Okay!" Xiao Ba replied bluntly this time, turning his head and said to Ziwei: "We're fucked!"

Then, the two of them grabbed the eggs and flew back to Ziwei's nest, which Feng Junhui helped make.Xiaoba has now abandoned the bird's nest that he worked so hard to build, and has changed to live in Ziwei's big bird's nest.The other birds also dispersed, and the mountain turtledove went to see if there were any other people's eggs in its own nest.

In the end, the scene of stealing bird eggs ended so strangely.And Xiaoba and Ziwei, a pair of wonderful male birds, also started their egg hatching journey...
