Chapter 124 123. Ding Xiaoman, mighty and domineering
Until the sun was about to set and the birds returned to their nests, the floating crayfish sank back to the bottom of the water.
That's the end.
Watching Luo Yihang and his family working together for an entire afternoon, they still managed to catch a lot of crayfish.
Associate Professor Wei felt bad because he was the one who forbade the use of firecrackers.
Panting, he found Luo Yihang and said, "Xiao Luo, how about I pay for your family to buy a few bird repellents, the kind used at the airport, which are quite effective."
Luo Yihang waved his hands and didn't want to talk to him.
He took out his cell phone and called Technician Zhou first.
Ask why shrimps come to the surface of the water for birds to eat.
Also, will they float up tomorrow, and how many days will they float...
"This is called floating heads. Usually, crayfish will float to the surface when there is a lack of oxygen, food, or poison in the water. When I saw your crayfish a few days ago, they were all normal. It should be because it has started to get hot these days, and the crayfish have a stress response. When they adapt, they will sink." Technician Zhou explained, and then he felt very strange again, "It's just getting hot, and logically only a few should float up. How come all of them float up? Why are your crayfish so sensitive?"
"And why are there so many birds? Birds will come to catch crayfish when they float to the surface, but usually there are only three to five, seven to eight. It looks like there are hundreds of them there. It's so strange."
Luo Yihang rubbed his forehead. Well, it seemed that it was really his fault.
These crayfish have been eating the feed made from spiritual grass leaves for more than twenty days. They have grown a lot and are now as big as a thumb.
The physique is very good, and the meat is incredibly firm, so I'm afraid the perception is better.
When the weather gets hot, I feel everything and get stressed.
Why do so many birds come? Birds are not stupid. They know very well which ones are delicious and which ones are not.
Crayfish fed with spiritual feed are the most delicious.
Normally, crayfish sink to the bottom of the water and cannot be caught.
It's not easy to float up. I'm afraid that all the birds from the nearby mountains have come here to eat the buffet.
After chatting for a few words and hanging up the phone, Luo Yihang opened the weather forecast software again and saw that the temperature would continue to rise for several days and there would be thunderstorms in the near future.
Just now, when Technician Zhou gave the detailed introduction, he said that crayfish will respond to stress when the weather changes, including thunderstorms.
So, you still need a bird repellent.
Luo Yihang found Associate Professor Wei to express his gratitude and thank him for helping to drive the birds away.
Associate Professor Wei apologized to Luo Yihang, saying that he shouldn't have yelled at him. To express his apology, he also brought up the matter of the bird repellent.
Luo Yihang agreed and asked Associate Professor Wei to help make the contact.
As a professor of ornithology, Associate Professor Wei knows how to protect birds and how to drive them away. He knows the theory, but he either dares not use it in practice or it is of no use.
He had channels for bird repellent devices, so he made a few phone calls on the spot and contacted the source of supply.
The thing is not expensive, only a few hundred yuan each, and its function is to scare away birds by flashing red and blue lights and simulating eagle calls.
The main problem is that it is not produced locally and has to be shipped from other places, which takes two or three days to arrive.
So what should we do tomorrow?
-
You have to rely on yourself tomorrow.
Luo Yihang got up in the morning and did not help pick vegetables.
Instead, he took a roll of rope, tied a stone to one end, and went to the shrimp pond.
The bamboo pole I used yesterday didn’t seem to work very well; it was too short.
Today I tried a longer rope. I stood on the middle partition and swung the rope in circles, which was enough to cover two shrimp ponds.
After a while, Ding Xiaoman also ran up and sat next to Luo Yihang.
Maybe I came out early today and disturbed it.
The sky gradually brightened, the morning coolness faded away, and the weather became hot again.
The crayfish that sank under the water began to float to the surface.
As the old saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. The early bird catches the worm.
As soon as the sky brightened, the greedy and stupid sparrows flew over the shrimp pond in small numbers.
It circled twice, then suddenly swooped down to catch the shrimps.
Luo Yihang was standing on the dam in the middle of the pond waiting for it, spinning the rope in his hand.
When he saw it rushing down and approaching the water surface, he shook his hand and the long rope with the stone hanging on it flew out, scaring the bird away.
One comes down, and one is driven away by flying rope. Two come down, and two are driven away.
All the birds flew down from both sides, and the rope went out and made a circle, driving away both sides.
However, small birds such as sparrows were frightened and flew up, and did not leave, but flew over the pond.
As time went by, more and more of them came, and soon they gathered into a large, dark group.
It seems that the more birds there are, the bolder they become. After gathering into a flock, these guys swoop down not just one or two at a time, but in groups.
Luo Yihang had to keep swinging the rope around in circles over the pond.
This guy is a very strenuous worker, most people can't stand it.
Luo Yihang's physique was such that he could hardly bear being shaken for a few minutes.
Okay, let’s do a big one.
Luo Yihang retracted the rope and calmed his breathing.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes.
He pinched the magic formula, let the spiritual energy circulate in his body, and shouted: "Fast!"
With this loud shout, huge amounts of spiritual energy in Luo Yihang's body rushed into his meridians, causing tingling pain all over his body before gushing out.
In an instant, the scene in front of Luo Yihang shook as if the screen was trembling.
After the earthquake, the flock of birds seemed to be paused, with an obvious pause, and then exploded with a bang, the birds scattered, and the sky became clear.
Luo Yihang let out a long sigh.
NND, I can’t cure you little birds. The Qingyin Gong is not just for singing, it’s a magical method.
He used magic to drive away birds, but the birds he drove away were small sparrows. Luo Yihang was considered the most embarrassing person among all the immortal cultivators.
Anyway, no one saw it. Luo Yihang is thick-skinned, so it works.
But does it really work? Not long after, the second wave came again.
A few wild ducks flew over from the south. The wild ducks were larger in size. The little birds that had just been driven away followed the wild ducks and gathered into a flock before arriving at the pond.
Catch the thief first to catch the king.
Luo Yihang swung the long rope and got ready.
Just as the wild ducks approached, the long rope flew out of his hand, and a long rainbow rushed straight into the flock of wild ducks. The wild duck at the head quacked and flew everywhere, and the birds following behind scattered again.
Unfortunately, just like before, we dispersed but did not leave.
Are the crayfish in this pond so delicious that the birds would rather risk their lives?
Is it true that people die for money and birds die for food?
If he could hit them, Luo Yihang would really like to kill a few of them to broaden their horizons.
The long rope flew and the sound waves roared.
The flock of birds gathered and dispersed, dispersed and gathered again.
Luo Yihang used the Qingyin skill several times and used up all the blue in his tube, but he still didn't drive away the flock of birds completely. Instead, they grew in number.
Even the big ones, the white egrets, the night herons and the crested ibis, came when the sky was bright.
Although these cargoes were large targets, Luo Yihang did not dare to really hit them. He swung the long rope and flew past the first great egret that came down.
It didn't take it seriously at all. It flapped its wings to avoid the rope and dived straight into the shrimp pond. It scooped up a crayfish with its long mouth.
Soon after, the other two great egrets and the red-crowned crane also rushed into the shrimp pond. Even the little night heron sneaked in and swam on the water, eating happily.
Especially that red-crowned crane, damn.
He picked up a crayfish, but didn't eat it. He just tossed it in his mouth, then tilted his head and glanced at Luo Yihang with his little eyes.
This is a provocation.
But it didn't see that there was someone squatting behind Luo Yihang's legs.
Ding Xiaoman saw the provocation of the humble red-crowned crane.
Snoring, snore.
Ding Xiaoman was gurgling in his throat and took cat-like steps as he slowly turned out from behind Luo Yihang's legs.
Stare at the crested ibis as it lowers its body and arches its back.
The tail, which was originally upright, also fell down and stuck to the ground, with the tip of the tail shaking slightly.
"Ha——!" Ding Xiaoman let out a low hum with a long tone.
The red-crowned crane flapped its wings and swam over, ran to the shore with a clatter, threw the crayfish in its mouth in front of Ding Xiaoman, and found a place to nest for itself.
... Luo Yihang felt sorry for the red-crowned crane when he saw this scene. This guy performed the entire set of movements so skillfully that they must have become conditioned reflexes. How many times must he have been trained to become like this?
The result was unexpected.
There are even more exaggerated things to come.
I saw several great egrets and little night herons lined up and ran up to the shore, throwing the crayfish in their mouths in front of Ding Xiaoman one by one.
The little night heron's mouth was too small to hold the crayfish in its mouth, so it dropped it on the way and had to run to the pond to catch another one.
Well... have you guys all been beaten up?
I didn’t see it in the video.
Oh, that was the beating in the afternoon. The camera ran out of battery in the afternoon.
Ding Xiaoman sat upright, watching indifferently as several birds offered offerings to it.
After all the offerings were made, Ding Xiaoman stood up and used his claws to pull a few crayfish towards Luo Yihang.
Luo Yihang picked up the shrimps. Wow, they were really fat. They were all carefully selected big shrimps.
And they are not dead yet.
Let's go.
Luo Yihang raised his hand and threw a few crayfish into the pond again.
This time, the red-crowned crane couldn't stand it anymore. It pounced on Luo Yihang, making an unpleasant cry, and even used its long beak to peck at Luo Yihang.
It seems to be saying that the procedure is wrong. The cat gave you the food it didn't eat, so shouldn't you give it to me? Why did you throw it back?
Wow, this bird is quite strong. It bit my hand and it hurt quite a bit.
Luo Yihang grabbed the red-crowned crane by its long neck and threw it out.
Only after I made the move did I realize the identity of this nagging guy.
I looked around and fortunately, Associate Professor Wei was not there.
The red-crowned crane was thrown out, but it was still unwilling to accept the defeat and kept flapping its wings while trying to rush towards Luo Yihang.
Ding Xiaoman turned his head to look at it, opened his mouth and made a short "meow" sound.
The red-crowned crane twisted its butt, lay on the ground, and tucked its long neck under its wings, looking a little aggrieved.
Luo Yihang squatted down, rubbed Ding Xiaoman's head, and praised: "My Ding Xiaoman is really amazing."
Then he thought of an idea and tentatively asked Ding Xiaoman, "Can we let them help us drive away the birds?"
After saying this, Ding Xiaoman shook his ears, stood up, walked a few steps towards the birds, and stood among them.
He raised a paw and pointed to the sky, "Meow~Ha——"
What the hell!
It really works.
The big birds swung their long necks, and the red-crowned crane also stood up, flapped its wings, ran a few steps, and leaped into the air.
They lined up and flew towards the flock of birds.
I feel that Ding Xiaoman is the real protagonist.
Luo Yihang? Nothing.
