My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 337

   Chapter 337 Ye Bazhen, the night beast meeting

   On the vast winter night, Chen Ling comforted his wife and children and went out in clothes.

   Under the cold night, Chen Ling flashed a flashlight and walked out of the farm with the dog. The breath of his mouth and nose turned into white air in the misty light in front of him.

   In the silent orchard, rustling footsteps sounded.

   One person and one dog walk through the fruit forest, approaching the position where the feet are arranged.

   has not approached, there are still more than ten meters away, in the dim light of the flashlight, I can see between the trees and the gaps between the trees, there are a few deer walking back and forth anxiously.

  Chen Ling narrowed his eyes and took a closer look.

  嚯, is a sika deer, there are six big and small.

  The biggest one has to weigh 140 to 50 pounds.

  The sika deer are timid and vigilant, and when they notice the light and movement, they are like springs.

When   Heiwa chased out, five of the sika deer had already crossed the small river ditch, climbing up the rock slopingly, kicking off a lot of slush.

   "Heiwa, catch the small ones, the big ones don't taste good."

   Seeing Heiwa chasing after him, Chen Ling shouted, and his eyes fell on the sika deer that stepped in and grabbed his feet.

   He grabbed three feet in one breath yesterday morning and was nearby.

   Only this deer stepped on it.

This sika deer is also a bit small among the female deer, about less than seventy or eighty pounds. It stepped on one of its front legs, and when it saw Chen Ling walking over, it screamed in panic. He was holding on to one of the trapped front legs, while the other three legs struggled violently, grabbing their feet and trying to pull them out.

   As Chen Ling got closer, it even wanted to jump out.

   But how could it jump out when one of its front legs was caught? It jumped out less than half a meter while dragging the board that grabbed its feet, and because one of its front legs was trapped, it rolled over and fell to the ground.

   When Chen Ling walked in front of this sika deer, it was still grabbing its feet and jumping out.

   But this is meaningless, the front legs are trapped, and the wooden board that grabs the feet is still tied to the chain, it can't break free.

  Chen Ling squatted down, grabbed it, and pressed it to the ground.

   Take a closer look, this is a little doe that has grown up in spring, with reddish-brown hair all over. I touched it, the flesh is quite thick, and the fat loss is not serious.

   The sika deer was pressed to the ground by him, shivering.

  Chen Ling saw that he was pitiful, and without waiting for Heiwa to come back, he drew a knife and stabbed the deer in the neck on the spot to help it end the pain.

  There are eight treasures in the world.

   Upper Eight Treasures, Lower Eight Treasures, Grass Eight Treasures, and Wild Eight Treasures.

  Deer belong to Yebazhenli.

   Especially the half-sized deer, the meat is tender and delicious, it is easy to get rid of the odor, and it is not much worse than the deer meat.

   This is the reason why Chen Ling instructed Heiwa to pick a small sika deer to catch.

   In addition, this half-deer is not at the age of fertility, even if it has experienced the deer estrus in the fall, the male deer enters the herd, and after mating with the female deer, it will not become pregnant.

   Eat with confidence, no problem.

   "This is a sika deer? Why don't you have nice white spots on your body?"

  Outside the kitchen, under the lights, Chen Ling was bleeding the sika deer, and a group of little fat dogs were clucking and drinking in front of the basin that received the deer's blood.

  Wang Susu was worried that he would run up the mountain in the middle of the night to chase the deer, so he also came out wearing clothes.

   "Actually, there are, but the hair changes in winter, which is not so obvious."

  Chen Ling raised her head and smiled at her: "Rui Rui is asleep?"

   "Well, asleep. It's warm in the room, and he slept soundly."

   Wang Susu responded and came over to clean up with him.

   After a while, Heiwa also came back with a small doe in her mouth.

  It has always been obedient on this point, let it catch the small, and it will catch the small.

   The habit of the sika deer is that the female deer live in groups and the male deer live alone.

When    is not in the mating period, the herds are mostly doe and fawn.

  When the mating season comes, the male deer will join the herd.

Chen Ling also took a look at the one Heiwa brought back, and made two cuts with satisfaction: "These two deer are very good, I will cook the venison in a big pot first, and we can eat it when we get up tomorrow morning. Serve hot venison pot."

  Wang Susu couldn't help swallowing after hearing what he said.

   Venison pot, pasted with a circle of pancakes, the taste is very delicious.

  Chen Ling did it a few times last year, she knows the taste.

   In addition, I have enough deerskins, so in two days, I will find a tanner to get my husband a deerskin coat to wear.

   As a result, the young couple went back to the house and slept for less than two hours. At about four in the morning, Heiwa started to scream again.

  Chen Ling heard Heiwa's eager cry and knew that something was running in.

   Quickly get up and see.

   This is incredible, it's really lively outside.

  I saw several tabby cats standing on the roof of the kitchen at the back of the farm.

   squatted on the roof in various postures, his eyes glowing green, and he stared at the black baby on the ground.

   Behind Heiwa is a group of his cubs, who are guarding tightly.

  Chen Ling turned pale when he saw these tabby cats: "Soil leopard!"

  The earth leopard is the clouded leopard.

   This silently came a large family.

   quickly picked up the steel fork and swung it towards the roof.

  It didn't matter what he did, he surprised himself.

Because of this swipe, not only these leopards jumped out of the house in shock, and disappeared into the night with a few swipes. There was also a long and desolate bird call behind him, and then there was a burst of beating. The sound of wings.

   turned around and saw a few owls falling on the treetops not far from him.

   Those branches are still shaking.

   There was also a clattering movement in the dark, and I didn't know what wild animals were hidden in the dark.

   "Mother, as soon as the smell of meat comes out, will all kinds of beasts come down to my house for a meeting?"

   Chen Ling smelled the smell of meat wafting from the kitchen, and knew how tempting the smell of meat and the blood of killing deer was to the hungry wild things in the mountains.

   "Even the owls are here."

   said and glanced at Heiwa, this guy was cautious and steady tonight.

   Knowing that the things on the tree can't catch up, and don't do useless work, he closely guards the dog's kennel to prevent them from being threatened.

   After all, these little fat dogs are also a delicious meal in front of the leopard.

Seeing the little fat dogs approaching him again, Chen Ling had fed deer blood before and stopped feeding them. He went to the kitchen to lift the lid of the pot, and in the steaming white air, he scooped up a piece of deer meat and tasted it. .

  Then put it down again, put the lid on again, picked up the fire drill and poked the hearth, added another firewood, and continued to simmer.

   It's almost five in the morning now, and after a lot of tossing at night, I don't feel sleepy anymore.

   Of course, he and Wang Susu always go to bed early and wake up early, but when the weather is bad, they like to go back to sleep after breakfast.

   When he was no longer sleepy, he took out the cold ashes accumulated under the hearth and put it into the fire pot behind the kitchen and next to the vegetable cellar.

   Farmhouses have water tanks and fire tanks.

   In the past, the fire cylinder was used to prevent fire and store ash.

   Fire jars are called jars, not all water jars.

   In the past, it was mostly placed between the stove and the pyre to keep out the fire.

   Now it's just ash.

   Slowly accumulate a tank of firewood. When the tank is almost full, pull it into your own field, which is a good fertilizer.

  Especially when the seeds are just sprouted, sprinkle them to ensure that the crops will be strong and strong.

  It can also be used for pest control and sterilization, and it has a great effect in various aspects.

   At this time, Wang Susu got dressed and walked over: "What's wrong? We caught a deer again? I heard the movement quite loudly."

   "No, it's the smell of meat that attracts the wild things on the mountain. The only ones you see are leopards and owls, and what you don't see in the dark is what?"

  Chen Ling shook his head: "It's my fault, killing deer at night, the smell of meat and blood wafts out, can they not come? It's hard to find food in winter."

  Wang Susu heard that all the leopards were coming, and quickly said worriedly: "Then don't let Xiaojin go back to the village tomorrow, just stay here, if they come back at night, Heiwa will not be able to support."

   "Well, I have this plan too."

   They spent the winter in the farm for the first time. It is close to the mountains and forests. No matter how powerful and deterrent dogs are, they can't stop the peeping of the hungry beasts on the mountain.

  The rabbit bites people in a hurry, not to mention this hungry beast.

   That mountain raccoon a few days ago is the proof.

   But don't worry too much, the New Year is coming soon, all kinds of cannons are ringing during the day and night, most of the beasts are afraid to approach the village, and only a small number of people come down the mountain.

   For Chen Ling, it is easy to deal with.

   Isn't it easy to drive away the beasts?

   It is okay to set off firecrackers.

   Make a few fires and throw some veterinary medicine.

   If it doesn't work, I won't drive them away, just grab one and put them all in the cave and have children.

   But it's almost New Year's Eve, so it's better to set off firecrackers. It's also fun to set it on at night.

   He originally planned to buy more fireworks and firecrackers to set off this year, so he just went shopping in two days.

   "The meat is almost ready, let's eat while Rui Rui is still asleep."

   "Okay, I'll post some pancakes and put some flower rolls."

  The young couple was busy for a while, the sky was getting brighter, Chen Ling lifted the lid of the pot, put out two bowls of steaming venison, and ate the pancakes soaked in soup.

In the warm kitchen, in the orange fire, Heiwa stood in front of the kitchen door, lying on the ground, blocking the kitchen door tightly. The two were begging for food.

   After a while, there were a few more sneaky figures looking into the kitchen from the far wall of the farm.

   It was a fox that got in through the mouth of the waterway.

   It can be seen how attractive this meat fragrance is to these little beasts.

  It's a pity that Xiaojin is not here, they dare not come forward.

Venison is indeed one of the most precious ingredients in the wild. There is no greasy pork or mutton smell. When Chen Ling stewed it, it was stewed with mushrooms. The taste of Chinese herbal medicine is similar, and the meat is also extremely fine. When you bite into your mouth, you will be full of fragrant soup.

  Chen Ling was so excited to eat and warmed up some baogu wine, Wang Susu also drank some, and the whole face was flushed.

   A large pot of meat, Chen Ling cooked three bowls by himself, and after eating and drinking, Wang Susu went back to the house to take care of the children, and Chen Ling brought Xiao Jin and Xiao Bai Niu from the village to the farm.

   In fact, there is nothing to do during the day, but if the two dogs are there, it is indeed more comprehensive.

  After the meal, the house was cleaned up, and half of the meat was cut from the remaining deer, and the two of them carried the child and carried the meat to Wang Lixian's house.

   "It's so generous to be rich, I brought so much venison here."

   There are many people in Wang Lixian's house today. Relatives and friends came early. After learning that Chen Ling brought venison, everyone followed their young couple to the kitchen.

  This venison is worth a lot of money. It was rare for everyone to carry so much from this baby.

   "Ha, Sini'er's happy event, how can we be stingy as uncles and aunts?"

  Chen Ling hung up in the kitchen with a smile, and said to Liu Yuzhi, "Sister-in-law, Si Ni'er will come back in a few days and make us venison dumplings. We have to eat again."

   With a bright smile on his face, Liu Yuzhi nodded to the couple and invited them into the house.

   Wang Lixian also said with a happy face: "Come on, come and eat a few more meals, I'm afraid you won't come."

   Then ask them to take their seats.

   The relationship between the two families does not need to be polite.

  Chen Ling has never been a stingy person.

   In addition, since there are deer near the farm, this thing is easy to catch, and naturally it will not be stingy with the meat.

  When the weather is cold, in the place where deer often haunt, the next salt nest.

   Herbivorous wild animals love salt.

   Use salt nests as bait to make traps to catch deer, and rarely fail.
