Chapter 63 The Rain and the Shocking Anecdote
So Bian read it carefully:
Pigs. There is a farmer's proverb that says, "When pigs hold grass in their mouths, the cold wave arrives" and "Pigs build their nests when it snows heavily." Why do they say this? This is because the pig's nose and mouth are almost hairless, and the two parts of the pig's mouth are almost hairless.
The skin is relatively thin, the nerves are relatively dense, and they are in direct contact with the air, making them particularly sensitive to cold. Therefore, before the cold wave arrives, pigs will generally have an inkling of the arrival of the cold wave and will make a nest with grass in their mouths. Once the weather gets cold, they will put their mouths into the grass.
, if the temperature continues to drop, it will burrow into the grass to keep out the cold, and the sow's premonition of the cold is more acute. Therefore, pigs making nests with grass in their mouths are a sign of the coming cold wave.
Dogs. Folks often say "if a dog soaks in water, it will rain." This also has scientific reason. Because dogs do not have sweat glands, they cannot rely on their pores to dissipate heat in hot summer, but can only rely on their mouth and tongue to dissipate heat. Before it rains in summer, the weather will
Suddenly it becomes hotter and muggier. At this time, it is no longer enough for dogs to dissipate heat through their mouths and tongues. They will jump into ponds or streams to soak in water to promote heat dissipation. Therefore, if you find "dogs soaking in water", it means that it is hot.
It's going to rain.
Toad. The toad is also an "expert" in weather forecasting. It has a special physiological structure. As an amphibian, although the toad has lungs, its lung function is very limited. Therefore, it is not enough to breathe with the lungs alone. They have to breathe through the skin.
There is a condition for breathing through the skin, that is, the skin must be kept moist, so that the oxygen in the air can first be dissolved in the mucus of the skin, and then enter the blood through the skin. If the skin is dry, the skin cannot breathe. Therefore, it
They are afraid of strong light and dry weather, which is why they come out to look for food at night. Before the heavy rain comes (about a day or so), the air humidity is high. In this case, toads will appear during the day. So there is "daytime"
There is a folk proverb that when a toad comes out of its hole, it will rain.
Fish. Fish live by breathing oxygen dissolved in the water. When the weather is sunny, the atmospheric pressure is high, and there is more oxygen dissolved in the water, so it quietly settles on the bottom of the water; before it rains, the air pressure is low, and the oxygen in deep water is greatly reduced, so the fish will
It floats to the surface to breathe, so there is a saying that "when a fish dives, it will rain."
Swallows. The folk proverb says, "When swallows fly low, it will rain." This is because swallows want to eat insects. When it rains, there will be more water vapor in the air, which will wet the wings of some insects, just like the load of an airplane.
They are too big and cannot fly, but if they still want to fly, they can only fly close to the ground. Secondly, when the weather turns cloudy and rainy, the air pressure becomes lower, the water vapor in the air increases, and some small bugs in the soil also crawl out of the soil.
, when swallows fly, they fly low to catch insects.
Snakes. Snakes usually hide in caves during the day and come out at night to look for food, drink water, bathe, shed their skin, etc. But before it rains, it will be particularly humid and muggy, and at this time, snakes often come out. Therefore, snakes come out of their caves during the day.
It is a sign that it is about to rain, especially in late autumn and early winter, when the weather is already cold and the big snake comes out of the hole, it will definitely rain in a day or two. It is exactly the same as "the big snake comes out of the hole, the rain is heavy" and "the snake comes out of the hole, the rain is coming".
.
Chicken. As the saying goes, "chickens stay late, which means it will rain." Chickens do not have sweat glands and sebaceous glands. Due to the lack of heat dissipation organs, they are very afraid of heat. The ideal temperature for adult chickens is 20°C. When it exceeds 30°C, they often open their mouths and extend their wings to help dissipate heat.
In the hot summer evening, when it is about to rain, the chicken coop becomes even hotter and muggier, so it is found that the chickens do not want to enter the nest. This is a sign of an upcoming thunderstorm. In addition, before the rain, there is a lot of moisture in the air, so the chicken coop becomes more humid.
, the smell of chicken manure is also stronger, so the chickens are reluctant to return to the nest.
Ants are very sensitive to air pressure, temperature, and humidity. If it builds a nest 2-3cm or 4-5cm high, light rain or heavy rain is predicted respectively, and it will definitely rain within 2-3 days. One hour before it rains, they seal the hole.
To prevent flooding; and open a ventilation hole at a high place, and only open the hole after the rain has passed and the weather has cleared.
I read this article with gusto, and then handed it to Sister Li. I thought she would be very interested. After reading this article, I couldn’t help but wonder why the blind man chose to go up the mountain in a thunderstorm—whether it would be the same as
What about the humidity, air pressure, and temperature that are unique to thunderstorms?
After reading this article, I feel that the reason why animals can predict rain is because when it rains, the humidity, temperature, and air pressure of the air will change, and they can keenly feel these subtle changes.
Do these changes have an impact on the blind man?
After Sister Li finished reading, I brought up my idea to discuss with her, but we both felt that the more we discussed, the more confused we became. Yes, what is the real reason why the blind man chose to go up the mountain in a thunderstorm?
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, although there were some clouds in the sky, it was still sunny. Damn it, it might not rain at all today! I will get off work in a while, and today's day will be over soon. Why?
There was still no sign of rain.
Suddenly a courier delivered to our office came. I saw that he was sweating profusely and his clothes were all wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Because he often delivers express to our office, he is relatively familiar with it and knows how to do it.
Chat occasionally.
"Oh, your office is so cool. It's so stuffy outside. I've never experienced such a sultry day. It's hotter than that morning. It looks like it's going to rain." His words suddenly made him
It suddenly aroused the emotions of Sister Li and me.
I quickly poured him a glass of water happily and enthusiastically, and asked: "Is it very hot outside? Our office air conditioning is very air-conditioned, so I don't feel hot at all. Let's drink some water to cool down."
"Hey, you are still comfortable. It's easy to make money. It's so comfortable in this room. I have a colleague who just had a heat stroke and was sent to the hospital. It's not just ordinary heat, it's stuffy. It makes you almost breathless. You guys After get off work, you have to go home quickly to avoid getting wet. Didn't the weather forecast yesterday say that there will be thunderstorms this evening? I think the rain will definitely not stop."
He definitely had no idea how much Sister Li and I wanted to hear these words of his.
When I got off work at 5:30, suddenly dark clouds slowly came over from the east of the originally clear sky. In the originally sultry and suffocating air, suddenly there was a slight cool breeze, and this coolness
The wind is getting stronger and stronger. Everyone knows that it is going to rain soon, and judging from the situation, the rain will definitely not get lighter, so whether you are walking, driving, or riding a bicycle, in short, but outside
People are all in a hurry, speeding up to go home.
I didn’t plan to ride home, but planned to stay with Sister Li in a hotel not far from my work, so we took our time and walked slowly towards the hotel in the cool wind before it started to rain.
Walking, admiring the street scene before the rain, I found it very interesting and pleasant.
When we first arrived downstairs of the hotel, heavy raindrops began to fall, and at the same time, several muffled thunders sounded in the sky. Sister Li and I hurriedly ran into the hotel building, and felt that almost instantly, thunder rumbled,
Heavy rain poured down.
Sister Li and I were in the room. We heard the thunder getting louder and denser outside, as well as the sound of rain, and we felt inexplicably excited.
We know that there may be something unexpected and mysterious happening on this mountain with thunder and lightning and heavy rain.
I stood in front of the window, looking at the dim sky and heavy rain outside, and would fall into deep thought from time to time. Sister Li hugged me tightly from behind, her sexy, plump breasts pressed tightly against my back,
She whispered softly in my ear: "I'm thinking that on every thunderstorm day like this, my cousin must think of something different from others. But now, in the thunderstorm day, the two of us are thinking about something different."
My cousin and my cousin may have thought of the same thing."
"Then why don't you call your cousin now and tell him the ** plan we have implemented? He will definitely be very happy and excited. However, you must first make sure whether he has a heart disease, otherwise, suddenly
The surprise might be dangerous for him."
"You bad boy, why are you cursing my uncle? He doesn't have any heart disease. He is in good health." Sister Li said coquettishly, "But I think it's more appropriate to call him now. I don't know why.
I was extremely curious and also very scared about what was captured by the camera. Only if I watch it with my cousin would I feel more at ease mentally."
Sister Li's words suddenly spoke to my heart. I also have the same feeling as Sister Li - I really want to see the things I photographed, but I am also very afraid to see them, fearing that there might be some extremely scary scene.
But my cousin is like our backbone. As long as he is around, we feel very at ease.
There is a thunderstorm now, and it is very dangerous to make a phone call in such weather conditions, so we decided to wait until tomorrow to call my cousin, then take the camera off the mountain and take it to my cousin's house to watch together - of course.
This requires my cousin to communicate with his aunt first.
The thunderstorm lasted until about 11 o'clock in the evening, and then slowly stopped. I even had the urge to drive over immediately to get the camera, but Sister Li kept calm. She said that it had just rained so heavily, and there was so much dirt on the road.
There will be a lot of water, and the road surface will be slippery, and it will be very dangerous to see clearly at night. And with such heavy rain, what if there is a mudslide on the mountain?
I thought what she said was reasonable, so I had to suppress my extreme curiosity. After two crazy passions, I hugged each other and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already a new day after the rain. I slept very soundly that night. Maybe it was because I slept too little the night before. When I woke up, I felt refreshed and full of energy. Sister Li and I also
The mood was just as exciting.
But we still can't go up the mountain to get the camera immediately because we still have to go to work. It's another absent-minded day, but today's mood is obviously very different from yesterday - yesterday was more anxious and worried, while today it is exciting.
After enduring it, it was finally time to get off work. In the last few minutes, I felt that Sister Li and I were simply "spending seconds like years". Once the time was up, we didn't stay for one more second and hurried out, almost to the point of rushing out.
