Chapter 905 The Nocturnal Raptor (Subscribe)

Fortunately, the temperature in the mountains at night is relatively low, even if the doors and windows are closed tightly, it will not feel stuffy.

In addition, Li Yuan sprinkled a lot of plant ash around the base before dark. Although this thing is not very useful, it can cover some smells and disperse some insects and ants.

The two also took the ax that was placed on the firewood pile during the day to the attic, and Hu Kai also put a thick wooden stick on the firewood pile, euphemistically called: self-protection.

Just in case, Li Yuan also put the fire folder within reach, and pinned the door with a wooden stick to prevent the door from being opened outside.

After all, Xiong Xiazi will open the door, this is not a joke, and after everything is busy, it is already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.

Through the gap in the attic, the two of them could clearly see the stars in the sky, as well as the occasional clouds that blocked most of the moonlight.

It's the middle of the month, and the moon, which is more than a dozen, looks big and round.

There were more and more cicadas outside, and as midnight approached, the frogs also began to move.

However, although these voices were familiar to both of them, they felt extremely disturbed when they heard them again today.

Hu Kai was lying on the bed, listening to the voice, he couldn't help complaining: "It's so noisy, why are there so many cicada monkeys tonight? Did you know that I can't get out, and are deliberately angry at me?"

Li Yuan closed his eyes and rested his mind. Hearing Hu Kai's complaints in the dark night, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why, even if you can go out, can you still keep their mouths shut?"

Hu Kai curled his lips when he heard this, and muttered, "Humph, I can't catch them and eat them? Fried cicadas, stir-fried cicadas, spicy cicadas, and grilled cicadas!" "

At this time, Hu Kai seemed to want to burst out all the depression in his heart, he said several times in a row, and then stopped angrily.

But when Li Yuan said this, Li Yuan really became greedy.

Deep-fried cicadas are a well-known snack that is very popular in many places.

The so-called cicada monkeys are actually what we call cicadas. This thing has a high protein content, and its vitamins and other trace elements are higher than ordinary meat foods.

Although this snack is not very popular in the Northeast, there are naturally many people who have eaten it, and for those who can accept it...

The taste of this dish is really unique, and Li Yuan is also one of the people who love this dish.

But of course, not everyone is suitable for eating, because foods with higher protein content are more likely to cause allergies, so many people cannot enjoy this delicacy.

Just when the two people's thoughts were drifting away, there was a sudden cry outside that they had never heard before.

"ou, ou."

"ou, ou."

A cry of ouou came from the nearby forest.

That cry was very strange, it was the first time I heard it in so many days in Xigu Mountain.

As soon as Hu Kai heard the sudden cry, his whole body tensed up instantly. In this wilderness and forest, I have to say that this call really made people feel chills on the back.

Hu Kai listened attentively, and after confirming that it was not his hallucination, he couldn't help calling softly: "Xiaoyuan Xiaoyuan, did you hear that?! What is this sound?"

In the darkness, came Li Yuan's response.

"Well, I heard, it's okay, night owl."

Hu Kai couldn't help but said: "I'm not a night owl, I can't sleep! You listen to this movement, it's too intrusive, it's strange to be able to sleep!"

For Hu Kai, sleeping is a most enjoyable thing.Although he got up late, he has an excellent habit of not staying up late!

So Hu Kai admits that he is a night owl?That is definitely not acceptable.

Hearing Hu Kai's rebuttal, Li Yuan couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

"You think too much, what I said is that this cry is from a night owl."

Hu Kai said hello with a full face.

scream?night owl?What is Li Yuan talking about?
"What is the sound of a night owl? Xiaohua is staying in the nest well, and she hasn't barked! Besides, Xiaohua's cry is much better than this."

Li Yuan was speechless again and raised his eyebrows.

"Kaizi, don't you know... a night owl is a kind of animal? Not a cat at night as you said?"

Hu Kai was startled.

"Night owl? An animal?!"

The term "night owl" is very familiar to people from the Northeast.

Nothing to do When it comes to the kind of people who do not sleep in the middle of the night, simply sum it up in one word, that is 'night owl'.

It's just that night owls have been talking about it for so many years, but they have never delved into where the word came from, or... it's not a word at all, but a kind of animal?

Li Yuan replied affirmatively: "You heard it right, the so-called night owl refers to this animal outside, and its name...is called the eagle owl."

When he heard this sound just now, Li Yuan still didn't dare to confirm it in his heart. After all, there are several kinds of eagle owl calls, one is like the 'ouou' sound he heard just now.

One is the sound of 'bengbeng, bouncing', the latter is relatively short and deep, while the former is like this, with a mellow sound and a certain change in tone.

Li Yuan identified it, and then guessed from the voice of the takeaway that it was an eagle owl.

Hu Kai was full of surprise.

"Eagle owl? So, it was the one that made the cry just now?"

The cry of the eagle owl was just like the 'ouou' they heard just now. This kind of cry was very difficult to imitate, and it was different from most animal calls. It was very unique, even... a bit strange.

The eagle owl is a national second-class protected animal and one of the nocturnal raptors.

It is of medium size and looks like an eagle, hence the name.

Eagle owls do not appear many times. They mostly live in mountainous broad-leaved forests, and most of them are active at night and in the morning and dusk. They are rarely seen during the day.

This eagle owl flies swiftly and silently, and is a good hunter of insects, mice, and small birds. Listen to this movement... This eagle owl should have come out to look for food in the middle of the night, and it just happened to appear near the place where the two lived.

When Hu Kai heard this voice, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling. After all, the voice might be in a remote mountain forest, and it still sounds quite intrusive.

and……

The cry of night owls has always been an unlucky existence in the traditional concept.

And obviously, both of them knew this too.

Hearing this voice, Hu Kai couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Could it be that there will be some kind of moth appearing tonight?

Lying on the bed, outside voices rang in my ears, which lasted intermittently for a long time, but there was no sign of stopping at all.

Although Hu Kai and Li Yuan didn't speak, the business of slightly turning over from time to time proved that the two of them were not asleep at all.
