Chapter 201 Badger

In front of everyone, the watermelon was still shaking slightly, and everyone present felt a little at a loss for a moment.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the shaking watermelon suddenly made a whirring sound.

"It's really a watermelon baby!" Shi Jie said loudly.

After hearing this, Canghai couldn't help but glance at the nonsense boy, then picked up the shovel in the car, and walked carefully towards the moving watermelon.

When Hu Shijie and others saw it, they also picked up the guy in their hands and surrounded the watermelon with Canghai.

Almost one meter away from the watermelon, the watermelon suddenly stopped moving, as if it was alert to the actions of the people in Canghai.

Waiting for Canghai and others to stand next to the watermelon, when Canghai took the shovel and pestle to the watermelon, the watermelon suddenly began to shake left and right even harder.

“There’s something inside!”

Hu Shijie shouted.

Not only Hu Shijie, but everyone around the watermelon heard it. There was a sound in the watermelon, which was a bit like a pig's hum, but it was obviously not a pig, and something was hidden in the big watermelon's belly!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they knew what was hidden in the watermelon.

Everyone was feeling a little uneasy when they saw a watermelon swaying around. Yan Li and Shi Jie were talking nonsense about watermelon wools. The villagers were superstitious. Canghai was because of space and thought in his heart that space existed. What if there was such a nonsense thing about watermelon wool.

Although Cang Hai did not show it on his face, he was still a little uneasy.

Hu Shijie was not as old as the one in vain. When he heard the movement in the watermelon, he immediately said: "What is stealing the watermelon? It seems that he is trapped in the watermelon. Everyone carefully flipped through the watermelon, and they might not be able to penetrate the hole in the watermelon and beneath the watermelon."

Everyone heard the truth, so they gathered together and carefully held the guy in their hands on the melon.

"Wenkui, hold the shovel, and you will see something running out later and smash it directly on your head!" Hu Shijie said to Wei Wenkui.

Wei Wenkui took the shovel, held it in his hands and raised the shovel surface high, waiting for everyone to turn the watermelon over and look at the thing that ran out of it all at once.

"Wait!" Wei Wenkui immediately opened his mouth when he saw the watermelon move.

Li Licheng smiled and said, "You guy aren't afraid, are you? Why are you so timid like a woman?"

"What if, what if Huang Taixian came out of it?" Wei Wenkui asked carefully.

Hu Shijie was so happy when he heard this: "You are stupid. Your Wong Tai Sin eats watermelons. Wong Tai Sin eats meat. What kind of watermelon is this? Wong Tai Sin has to eat melon skin for a night. If you have nothing to do, Wong Tai Sin eats melon skin? Don't talk nonsense and you will beat you if you want to beat melon skin. If I'm twenty years younger, will it be your turn to do this job?"

"Just Wong's watermelon with such a big body that can shake? It's definitely not!" Li Lida said.

Wei Wenkui thought to himself: That's right, Wong Tai Sin eats meat, and I have never heard of Wong Tai Sin still eating vegetarian food. Besides, how big is Wong Tai Sin is, it's really impossible to shake a watermelon that big.

"Everyone pay attention!"

Hu Shijie said, then exerted force with both hands, and raised his hand to greet everyone.

As soon as the four men exerted force, the watermelon slowly began to turn over slowly.

"stop!"

With Hu Shijie's order, he flipped about one-third of the watermelon and stopped.

Although it only turned over one third, a hole edge suddenly appeared in front of everyone. As soon as the hole was revealed, the humming sound from the things in the watermelon's belly immediately reached everyone's ears very clearly.

"Wenkui, pay attention!"

Hu Shijie said, greeting everyone and exerted force. The whole watermelon turned over completely, and a hole of about the size of a big sea bowl appeared on the watermelon's waist.

Just as the watermelon was turning up, a hairy head poked out from the hole. When Wei Wenkui saw it, he immediately patted the shovel in his hand on the head of the thing.

This thing is also smart. When he heard the sound of the shovel, he immediately shrank his head into the watermelon and hid in the watermelon.

"What is this?" Wei Wenkui, who had been slapped, asked to everyone beside him while staring at the entrance of the watermelon cave.

Although the face bag in the watermelon almost flashed, everyone around him saw it clearly, with a pig's nose on his head, three white rays on his face, and a long face that looked like a big mouse.

"Wild Boar?" Li Lida said his judgment in certainty.

Wei Wenkui shook his head and said, "No, the wild boar's hair is yellow, and even if it has a lot of color, it is not like this!"

"You haven't seen this thing before?" Cang Hai asked Li Licheng and others.

"Who has seen this thing? In the past, there was no food in the village, and no one grew watermelons. How could he see this thing?" Li Licheng said.

Hu Shijie frowned and thought for a moment: "This is a pig badger!"

"Badlock?"

Wei Wenkui, Li Licheng and Li Lida were a little stunned. They had heard of the badger, but no one had actually seen it.

It is because of the poverty. Sijiaping Village is so poor that it can’t even eat. Moreover, this land is so barren that it is dying, and the vegetation is not good. There is no environment for badgers to survive. Originally, the most common wildlife in the wild seas nearby was field mice, and even rabbits are rare, let alone badgers.

Hu Shijie nodded and said, "It's a pig badger, not a wild boar. I also saw this thing when I was very young. It's not in our village, but at my uncle's house in Hedong Province. But why did this thing come to us? It's probably not the case with a radius of hundreds of miles nearby."

"I said to Brother Jie, why do you say so much? Should you catch it or kill it now? Give me a letter of confidence, don't delay, the sun is about to set. We are going to transport three watermelons today," Li Lida said a little impatiently.

Hu Shijie laughed and said, "Catch the live things as much as possible. This thing can be treated with oil and can be eaten with meat!"

Everyone immediately nodded when they heard this, and prepared to start capturing the pig badger hidden in the watermelon's belly alive.

Li Lida grabbed a pocket from the cart, opened the pocket and wanted to cover the hole. Just as Li Lida's pocket was putting the hole in the watermelon hole, the badger in the watermelon's belly suddenly jumped out, and the sudden shocked everyone onlookers.

In this leisure time and everyone was stunned, the badger in the watermelon actually jumped out and fled.

Waiting for everyone to react, the thing had escaped from the encirclement of everyone.

At this time, the dog following him immediately started to bark happily and chased the pig badger that was running away.

Unfortunately, these two dogs were not hunting dogs, and Tiger Head was left at home by Cang Hai. It was a dream to just want to catch a runaway pig badger with just two local dogs.

It was only a matter of time before and after, the local badger ran away without a trace, and the two local dogs also shook their ears and returned to the side of the cart.

"Oh, let this thing run away!"

After the things ran away, Shi Jie, a timid boy, came over with Xiao Xiao, looking at a big hole in the watermelon, looked left and right in curiously, but no one paid attention to him.

Hu Shijie said to Canghai: "Come here to see the melon field tonight."

Seeing Cang Hai's puzzled look, Hu Shijie said: "The pig badger just now was just a small badger. The adult pig badger is much bigger than this. If there are small badgers, there must be big ones, and there must be male and female. This watermelon is a bit uneasy to plant."

Canghai nodded after hearing this. Now that there is such a thing, Canghai must be careful, otherwise he would cause trouble to his own watermelon field during this harvest season and he would not even cry out in a good tone.

Hu Shijie opened his mouth and said, "Everyone move! Be careful, if the melon that has been bitten by a badger, don't pick it first."

"Be careful and see if there are any badgers hidden in the watermelon!" Li Licheng said.

After hearing this, Hu Shijie said again: "This thing is usually active at night and will not come out in broad daylight. This little badger looks like he is trapped in a watermelon, otherwise he will run away at dawn."

Although Hu Shijie's words were used as a foundation, most people here have never seen badgers, so they are naturally a little worried, especially a few wives. When picking watermelons, they always have to step on the watermelon with their feet and shake it on them left and right. Only when they feel that the watermelons on their feet are heavy can they pick the melons.

It is said that picking melons is actually chopping. The melon vines are very strong. If you only use your hands to pick the watermelon off the vine, it will be much more convenient to use a knife. At this time, there is almost no need to distinguish the watermelons in the melon field. Canghai and Hu Shijie took about one acre of land. Only one and a half-sized small watermelons were not ripe, and the others were all ripe.

Several wives were responsible for cutting melons, while the men lifted the watermelon onto the cart. After they lifted it onto the cart, they lined the watermelons to the front and back. They first lined the cart flat on the cart, and then typed one between the two melons. One cart was seven or eight watermelons, and then they used a rope to tie the watermelons to the cart.

There are not many watermelons in a truck, because each watermelon is heavy enough, and six or seven melons are three or four hundred kilograms. It doesn’t matter if you put an ugly donkey on the cart, but it will be difficult for many other animals to go over the obstacles. After all, you have to climb over the slope and get tired of the animals. So will you still do tomorrow’s work?

In just twenty minutes, several large trucks were loaded with watermelons. Hu Shijie led a group of men to drive the cart back. As for the women, they stayed there to rest and waited for the men to come back to pick the melons.

When they returned to the village, the sun in the west had already set off the ridges, with only a little set sun, dyeing the sky in the west red. At this time, Li Liren and his wife had already prepared dinner for everyone, including one meat dish, two vegetarian dishes, and several full pots. After the watermelon on the car was unloaded, everyone got the basins of the dishes on the cart, loaded a bucket of white rice, and then turned back to Fenghuanggou with only Liu Aifen and a dog in the village to watch.

When Li Liren heard that the badger was found in the watermelon field in Canghai, he ran away. He immediately patted his thigh and said, "It's a pity that he knew badgers better than Hu Shijie. When he arrived at Fenghuanggou, he held a bowl and ate the meal. At the same time, he looked back and forth at the big watermelon that was gnawed by the badgers, sometimes shook his head and nodded, but didn't know what he was muttering.

Ping An held the bowl with his big mouth stuck to the edge of the bowl. He looked at Li Liren foolishly, turned to Shi Wei and asked, "Sister Shi Wei, is Grandpa Liren sick?"

Ping An really doesn't understand why the old man Li Liren shook his head and nodded.

Shi Wei smiled and replied in a low voice: "No, he might be thinking about how to burn badger meat."

When he heard the badger meat, Ping An couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Although he didn't know whether the badger meat was delicious, Ping An was interested in tasting any meat he had never eaten before. Moreover, this interest was very strong. For Ping An, it was very simple to make a fortune. Eating and working were the main theme.

Li Liren turned his head at this time and said to everyone dissatisfiedly: "It's embarrassing that so many of you can't catch a badger!"

Hu Shijie said: "Many people don't know what this is. They are not sure about it and they fail to make a mistake. I will wait for the next time to let this thing run away!"

Li Liren curled his lips after hearing this: "I'll find someone to watch the melon field with me tonight. If this thing comes again tonight, it will definitely go without returning!"

"Will you come tonight?" Cang Hai asked with some uncertainty.
