When I was a child, I grew up with my brother, who was two years older than me, and because of this, my brother brought me into the famous crazy in the village.
Other people's children are waiting at home until the point of eating, only our family, when it comes to eating, my mother will go door to door to find, but part of the time my brother and I are not in the village, but in the mountains behind the village, for this brother is not less beaten by his father, but he is always happy.
My favorite is that the snow covers the mountains in winter
I remember once, my father and Big Bola said that there was a badger on the mountain behind the village, and that the sweet potato had been half ruined by me, and my father said that he would find a way to catch him.
Although, at that time I had not seen the badger, this animal, but I was very curious about it. Because I have not seen badger, badger oil is indeed very famous, whose children or adults have been burned by boiling water, there is no special medicine in the countryside, badger oil has become the best thing.
I don't know why badger oil has this effect, but it is amazing, the burn on my brother's leg is because of touching badger oil, but now there is no scar left.
The sister of the neighbor's family was also splashed on the face by boiling water, and blisters appeared on her forehead. The neighbor's aunt was afraid of leaving scars, and went door to door to ask if there was any badger oil. In the end, the uncle went to the mountain to catch one, and heard that the aunt gave the uncle 80 yuan.
Now the badger oil thing is estimated to be difficult to find, I was born and raised in the countryside, fortunately also live in the countryside. I was particularly curious about badgers and wild beavers, two animals, but I was very sorry that I had only seen badgers, and wild beavers had never seen them.
I remember that the badgers my father caught were black
There was a grandfather in the village who lived to be 92 years old, and was the oldest man in the village at that time. When I'm okay, I like to go to his house and listen to his stories.
If you want to catch a badger, Grandpa told us that the key to catching badger is "smoking". Because the badger lives in the cave, and this animal is very fierce, if you want to catch it, you must first smoke it out of the hole.
But as for what to do after the smoke comes out, Grandpa didn't say, and I still don't know what to do next.
But I had seen badgers, and my uncle had given his father a trip to the mountains to catch the badger that ate sweet potatoes. I had to go along, but my father didn't agree, saying that a girl's family can't think about this all day, and should learn more needlework.
On that day, my father and uncle went out in the evening when it was almost dark, and no matter how much I begged, they would not take me. The uncle said that he did not know when he would be able to come back, and girls in the middle of the night in the dark were prone to "lose their souls" on the mountain.
The flat-headed brother looked domineering
I was very sad but soon found another fun. Children aged 7-8 are easy to cling to and are the most likely to "go to three or four".
I found a nest of ants at the gate and carefully counted the number of ants, but the ants were always going back and forth, and I couldn't count them. My brother kept laughing at me, and I suddenly remembered a bad idea.
I asked my brother to pee on the ant nest, and I said you poured all the ants out, and my brother didn't dare, because he knew that if the birds and ants nested, the chickens would swell.
Then, I laughed at my brother's timidity, and finally my brother was still an "adult", and he was beaten by my mother just after peeing, and my mother believed it or not. In fact, I don't believe it, I don't believe that ants have this ability, more than half a meter away, ants can hurt people?!
That night, I was woken up by my father, who caught the badger back and let me see it. For the first time in my life, I can say that I have seen a wild animal with relatively large individuals, and it is the more ferocious badger in the legend.
Now that I think about it, the badger was fat, furry, and its head was so small that its ears could hardly be seen. So that when I grew up, I saw the "flat-headed brother" and knew that its name was "Honey Badger", and I always thought that my father was lying to me, and what he caught was not a badger at all. Because the badger that my father caught was like a piglet of more than 20 pounds, because it was dead, I did not see its ferocity.
But when I woke up the next day, my brother's cock was really swollen, and I said I didn't believe it, but I was afraid in my heart, which may be a lot of people who don't believe it, but that's the way it is – ants curse!
In the past, rural people would catch badgers, but we never ate badger meat, except for badgers destroying crops, what rural people want most is badger oil. My father still has a small bottle, 2 or two meals, for more than 10 years, and he uses it less often, but in the countryside badger oil is a treasure.
This is also a badger?!
"Smoked badger set tanuki", the old man told me, now there may be very few people who know this skill. But for wild beavers, I was equally curious, but I never saw them once.
Father said that wild beavers were too fast to catch, and now there is none. Badgers are like pigs or dogs, and wild beavers are like cats, not only fast-moving, but also very cunning, and generally cannot be caught.
The only time, one summer, my father went out to work, and I was in the wild with my mother and brother to watch watermelons. In the middle of the night, there was a sound like a cat "calling spring", and I was trembling with fright, and my mother told me that it was the sound of wild beavers.
I ran out of the shack bare-ass, and it was pitch black, and there was no beaver at all. But the mother said, how did you give birth to a boy's temper!
I have never seen such a mighty and domineering wild beaver!
Now in the countryside, pheasants are full of ice, in the spring they are barking, flying happily, we should not see, pheasants are also protective animals, and meat is not delicious.
My husband caught one last spring, using the method of killing chickens, the hot water was hot, and the hair was particularly difficult to pull. After simmering for two hours, I couldn't chew it up and I couldn't interest in pheasants anymore.
As for the other wild animals, it is probably only the hare. Now the hare is not afraid of people, 2-3 meters away from it, do not take the run, just take the eyes of the confused eyes to look at you. And sometimes, I don't know that I am close to them, and I will be frightened when I swoop out.
Around '08, I saw one of the wild animals I wanted to see the most, a drowning wolf.
At that time, the whole village went to see it, and there was a lone wolf drowning in the village barrage. The funny thing is that the young people under the age of 30 in the village did not know what kind of animal it was, and a 70-year-old man was invited to identify it, saying that it was a wolf. He also warned the people in the village that no one should move, this thing is a group, and whoever takes it, they will seek revenge on whom.
The next morning, the whole village still knew, and the drowned wolf was taken home and eaten by whoever it was. Therefore, the people in the village were afraid for more than a month, and some people secretly slandered it, why didn't they listen to advice, so they ordered meat and ate what it was for. But in the end, I didn't see the so-called "revenge" in the old man's mouth.
It's been almost 13-14 years now, and no one has ever mentioned it again. But I wondered how the lone wolf had appeared in the densely populated Luzhong Mountains.
wolf
Now the ecological environment is better, and many wild animals that have disappeared before have reappeared, but the wild beaver I have in mind has not appeared, even if it is a badger, I have never heard of it again, let alone a wolf.
And pheasants from flooding, but disappeared, reappeared is already a national protected animal, and now it is flooding again. Plus the hare, the farmers are deeply affected, hunting is definitely not OK, we are not hunters, no qualifications, do not hunt it, last year the peanuts planted on the hillside were confiscated!
"The female rabbit's feet are fluttering, the male rabbit's eyes are confused, the two rabbits are walking on the ground, and Ann can tell that I am a male and female!"
Although there are more pheasants and hares, this does not prevent me from enjoying rural life, silence is not a mountain wilderness, there are pheasants playing music in farm work, and there are hares dancing. The joy of the mountains and wilderness, not immersive, is difficult to appreciate!
