The hedgehog is a rare animal in the countryside, and compared to domestic animals and poultry, it is slightly mysterious, I have seen snakes at least ten times eight times, and hedgehogs have only seen twice. Many people's knowledge of hedgehogs is limited to children's pictorials.
The first time I saw this little creature was in junior high school, when students could also celebrate "Arbor Day", carrying shovels and baskets to the mountains to plant trees. When the spring is cold, everyone is in full swing - if you don't study, labor is good.
Doing it, in a tree pit dug last year, two hedgehogs appeared, they were clustered into balls, the thorns were particularly piercing, poked with a branch, squirming slightly, it was still a ball, probably hibernation has not woken up.
A naughty boy wants to shovel them out and tease them, but the geometry teacher who went with her hurriedly stops them, she puts the hedgehog in the basket, sends two classmates down the mountain, and rides bicycles to her house.
She is a native of Sichuan, and it is said that she raises hedgehogs in a tank, and after artificial fattening, they serve them on the dinner table, and eat them "fragrantly". But when I think of that scene, the teacher is sitting there pulling out the thorns one by one, and my goosebumps stand up terribly, and I dare to eat anything!
The next encounter with the hedgehog was in the autumn when the dates were ripe. My mom and I stayed at my grandmother's house. At night, it was so dark that I couldn't see the darkness of my fingers. I went to the yard to urinate in the dark. As soon as I squatted down, I could only hear "Wow-uh-wow...... from behind meThe sound is like the noisy voice of a baby who can't speak.
I just felt cold on my back, my hair was about to stand on end, ghost stories flashed in my brain, and I ran home without lifting my pants.
Grandma, what's wrong? What's moving? I asked breathlessly.
My grandmother didn't raise her head, she couldn't see that I didn't have a long experience, so she couldn't hold back a smile and said:
What else can there be, hedgehog, come out to find dates to eat. ”
Wow-uh-wow-hmm'Isn't this just a child's spoiling? "I was terrified, full of doubts.
It hid behind a broken iron cauldron, and I had seen it during the day. Grandma said with a determined face.
I took the courage and turned on the flashlight to look for it under the jujube tree, and the alert little guy didn't know where to hide, and his mouth was closed. Waiting for me to get home, it started "wow-uh-wow-uh-uh...... again"After a few times, I lost interest in the game and sat on the kang and couldn't figure it out.
It seems that he is also a coward, singing songs to give himself courage when he walks at night like me!
When the day dawned, its small footprints were indeed left under the jujube tree, cute and messy!
