My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 526

  Chapter 526 Leopard

  When I walked to the backyard of the farm to pick vegetables, a few ducks flapped their wings, quacked, and swam in from the outside along the ditch.

  As soon as they came in, they saw Chen Ling here, turned around in unison on the water, and swam out squawking.

   "Hey, is this duck afraid of me today? Don't lay eggs secretly here."

  Chen Ling was taken aback when he saw this.

  Once chickens and ducks avoid people, there is a high chance that they will secretly lay eggs somewhere.

   Just as they were guessing, the two little swallows in the kitchen uttered panicked calls.

  Chen Ling looked over there, and it turned out that there was a little leopard squatting on the beam of the kitchen door, with two beautiful amber eyes, staring straight at the little chick in the bird's nest.

   "Damn, this unlucky boy, you said you came and left, but I didn't expect you to come here to steal birds."

  Chen Ling clapped his hands and stomped his feet, which made the little clouded leopard tremble. He jumped off the door beam with a plop, and turned into a yellow afterimage. After a few jumps, he quickly disappeared from the vegetable garden.

  When I saw it again, the little guy was standing on a tree on the hillside, furry from a distance, ears pricked up, howling softly at him in dissatisfaction.

   "You are so fat and come to steal food, you are also a little white-eyed wolf and leopard."

  Chen Ling noticed that when this guy jumped off the door beam, it made a heavy plop. Wang Susu often fed it when he was at home, and his body was covered with flesh. He was absolutely dead.

   "Stop barking, I'll give you a piece of leftover steamed bun and eat it."

  Chen Ling went back to the kitchen to find a steamed bun that had deteriorated and become sticky due to the hot weather, and threw it across the wall far away.

  Little Yunbao thought Chen Ling was trying to hurt it at first.

   cried out more and more angrily.

  Seeing Chen Ling picking tomatoes and cucumbers, he stopped looking at it.

  Facing the steamed buns under the tree, he shook his head to look left and right.

   Then he jumped down from the tree and smelled the leftover steamed buns in the grass.

   After smelling it for a while, he shook his body, tilted his head and closed his eyes in disgust, and took a few steps back.

   Sneezing and meowing loudly.

   Just in time to see the crakes poking their heads in the grass near the ditch at the foot of the mountain, so they hurriedly lowered their bodies and lurked over quickly.

   Soon the mountain jumped up and down.

   Afternoon.

  Wang Lixian and the others had a good meal and went home to rest for the time being.

   Wait for the weather to be a little cooler before coming over and continuing to water the ground.

  The elder brother and his wife and Yu Qi'an both went to wander around the mountains, watching those people from the provincial TV station shoot birds.

  There is no one in the farm, it is very clean.

  Chen Ling moved out the reclining chair and squinted in the bamboo forest outside, resting with a book on his face.

   In a daze, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon.

  The mountain raccoon's shrill meowing sounded like a mournful cat.

  Chen Ling uncovered the book, got up and took a look, it turned out that the little leopard hadn't left yet.

The little leopard was squatting on a thick branch, with a fleshy front paw hooking a thin branch the size of a teacup in front of it, its head was raised and its mouth was open to bite, revealing a pair of sharp teeth. Bite back, as if grinding teeth after a meal.

  At this time, the little leopard doesn't look fierce at all, but is cute and cute, like a lively and playful kitten, very lovable.

   It's just that the mountain raccoons don't like it.

  I feel that there are rivals in the territory, and they often scramble for leftovers under the farm table, and there has been hatred for a long time.

  The little clouded leopards ignored their calls, hooked their paws on the branches and leaves that were blown by the mountain wind, and played happily on the trees.

   "Why isn't this little thing leaving? Don't you still want to wait for Susu to come back?"

  Chen Ling muttered a few words, this little leopard does feel a bit clingy the bigger it gets.

  When I was a baby, I came here every ten and a half months, and now I come every three to five days.

  I like to nest next to Wang Susu.

   After another look, Chen Ling didn't bother to scare it anymore, just don't go home and harm the two nests of little swallows.

   Take a nice nap.

  Chen Ling felt comfortable, so he took out the marinated salted eggs, and marinated the new eggs with duck eggs.

  He works quickly, and the salted egg is not a complicated job.

   Pickle some when you are free every day, and it will be done soon.

  During the period, he threw the remaining egret eggs into the sky to hatch.

  While drinking last night, the people in the province and Taiwan wanted to try something new, so they grilled, boiled and fried it, and tried to cook it.

  It's a pity that it's not delicious at all.

   In the end, they all went into the stomachs of Erhei.

  So the remaining egret eggs, Chen Ling threw them all into the cave.

   After finishing the salted eggs, Chen Ling took advantage of his free time to clean up the skeleton of the pig king.

  Prepare to use iron wire to simply splice the small parts of the skeleton together.

  When the time comes, just assemble it directly.

  Or erected in front of the farm, you can see it head-on when you walk in the gate.

  Or find another place, build a table and put it on it.

  But this can't be done in a while.

  The old man Zhong said last time that it is not beautiful to have such a huge wild boar skeleton alone in front of the lotus pond.

   Still need matching and foil.

  It is best to build a rockery that is neither high nor short, and put some climbing green plants and flowers on the rockery.

  It would be very good to put the huge skeleton of the wild boar king in front of the rockery.

   In addition, according to Chen Ling's idea, it can also be placed in the open space outside the gate of the farm.

   This one is a little simpler.

   At that time, the huge skeleton of the pig king can be built near a castle or a small haystack in the shape of a yurt.

  There are sheep pens, barns, chicken coops and duck pens around, plus this haystack...

   This is a primitive and rough style, which may be more suitable for the scenery of the farm.

  Use pliers and wire to splice the skeleton simply.

   He tapped again, making the wire less conspicuous.

  Chen Lingcai placed these skeletons casually in the corridor beside the lotus pond. The bones of this pig king are nothing else, they are frighteningly heavy and very strong.

   Chen Lingneng was the only one who moved it.

  Even if it is put outside, no one can steal it.

  Put it here first, and then slowly tinker with it in the next few days.

   "Well, sooner or later the haystacks will be tied up, no matter whether there is a skeleton of a pig king or not."

  Chen Ling had planned before, to use wheat straw and thatch to build some yurts or small castles in the orchard, which were built with yellow mud, and some things could be grown inside.

   Both ornamental and practical.

   "Tomorrow, we will start with the haystacks. This is an easy thing."

   "Other trophies, one of the two big fangs of the pig king must be kept, and the other one is left, find someone to make me a dagger..."

   "The Pig King's pig gun, pig kidneys, and pig eggs have been soaked in wine, and the gall has been hung up."

   "There is also...pig urine foam, um, wash this clean and save it for Rui Rui to play with. It can be used as a ball to kick, or filled with water, and hung up to raise fish. Brats will like it."

  When Chen Ling was lazy, he was really lazy.

  After bringing back the trophies from these pig kings, they just took out the pair of big fangs to play with them every day, and couldn't put it down.

  The leftovers were soaked in wine in Miao Village, and they were thrown into the warehouse at home without looking at them.

   But if he is not lazy, he will not feel tired even if he packs up these chores all day long.

  The little white cow didn't come back from the city, so he gave the little green horse a bath and scrubbed his body carefully.

  He even tidied up the ornamental fish tanks and tanks where half of the fresh water needs to be changed every day.

   After all, it's hot now.

   Fish farming in tanks is quite different from fish farming in ponds.

   On sunny days, the water in the water tank will be hot in half a day.

  The fish can't stand it.

  Chen Ling would change some fresh mountain spring water into it every day.

  These fish live very nourishingly.

  After changing the water every day, feeding the fish, watching the colorful, beautiful and beautiful fish, big and small scrambling for food...

  That feeling is really an indescribable joy.

   Today is no exception.

  Chen Ling was in a good mood.

   Cleaned up the turtle tank again, and changed the water.

  The pigeon coop also got some fresh straw to pad it.

  Later, it was discovered that the tortoise eggs picked up by Wang Zhenzhen upstairs also had hatched wheat field turtles. Ruirui put them under the grape trellis, together with the bamboo cages for the wekes, and watched them every day.

  Recently, I brought crakes to the city to play. Today, the little turtle broke its shell and crawled all over the ground under the grape trellis.

  Chen Ling scratched and scratched, and it took a while to finish.

   Then put them alone in a broken pot, pour a little water, throw some aquatic plants, and put them in the turtle pond when they grow up a bit.

  Tinkering and tinkering, and watched the little swallow take the chicks out of the nest and learn to fly for a while.

  At four o'clock, Wang Jusheng and his family came over, and then they went out to release the drainage ditch, and got into the cornfield to continue watering the field.

  It's better to do some farm work in the fields this season, in the afternoon.

   It's getting cooler and cooler.

   is also more interesting.

  In particular, some birds that fainted at noon will be picked up, and they will fall into the puddle that has been watered on the ground.

  This type of bird has more sparrows and golden wings.

  White-headed bulbuls are also seen, but less.

  Why is this so?

  In addition to drinking water, probably the watered cornfield is cooler than other places.

  Wang Lixian found paw marks left by small animals and wild birds on the wet soil.

hedgehog.

   Gophers.

   Mountain Tanuki.

pheasant.

   Wild quail.

   Even the old yellow quail was found.

  Because the claws of the old yellow quail are almost exactly the same as those of the quail, but they will be two or three times larger, which is very easy to identify.

  In addition to simply discovering these footprints.

   Also really caught a lot of gadgets.

   Most of them are voles, hedgehogs, and wild birds, and most of them cannot be eaten by humans. In the end, they are either fed to dogs or released directly.

  Afterwards, Chen Ling still felt emotional, no wonder Chen Baoshuan and Uncle Sangui were able to catch the old yellow quail when they were watering the corn. It turned out that these things all ran out as soon as the ground was watered.

  As for being so close to the orchard of the farm, there is also a water source next to it, so why not go, instead drill into the cornfield.

  Maybe it's the fear of dogs and foxes, or maybe it's easy to find bugs and food after watering the cornfield…

   There may be other reasons as well.

   This is unknown.

  In short, this did not affect Chen Ling's fun.

   It can be regarded as a chat to relieve the boredom and boring of watering the ground.

  Chen Ling didn't want to delay the matter of watering the ground.

  But both Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng said that it was getting cooler and cooler in the afternoon, and it was even cooler at night, which was much easier than during the day.

  Watering the ground and talking about gossip in the village is quite fun.

  So I still have to work hard and finish pouring in one go, so there is no tail left, and I have to toss tomorrow.

   Yes, everyone said that, so Chen Ling stopped being hypocritical. He looked at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set, so he went out to prepare meals for everyone.

   In the end, it was someone who came to help me with the work, so I made it richer tonight, the beer didn't have much alcohol, so I had some cold beer, had some food and drink, and it would be fun to pour the ground and fight at night.

   And as agreed, I have to bring Rui Rui back to play tonight, the brat is thinking about catching the cicada monkey.

  So I went to the foot of the mountain to lead the little green horse.

   At this time, Yu Qi'an, Liu Nier and a group of kids came down the mountain.

   Liu Nier and the monkeys run fast.

  At this time, he was throwing stones at a group of magpies.

   "Smelly magpie, get out of here!"

   "Hit it a bad magpie, steal chicks, and bully the little leopard."

   It turned out that this group of magpies were quacking and ferociously pecking at the little clouded leopard on the tree.

  The little clouded leopard didn't know what he was thinking, it was getting dark now, and he still hadn't left yet.

   "The little leopard did a good job. From now on, I will catch magpies and eat them every day. We will protect you."

  The kids are still clamoring.

  Some kids who were wearing crotch pants, or who hadn't worn pants for a long time, didn't know who was good and who was bad, so they jumped up and shouted.

   It is said that the magpie is bad, and the little leopard is powerful.

   There are also those who are not satisfied with throwing stones. They hold up the slingshot and hit the group of magpies fiercely, and then open their mouths with gaping teeth and let out a few silly laughs.

   "Oh, you brats, did the magpies mess with you? Why did you hit the magpies?"

  Bai Huining beside Yu Qi'an saw this scene, shook off Yu Qi'an's hand, ran down and shouted.

   "Auntie, the magpie is a bad bird. It has stolen eggs from the rich uncle's house, eaten chickens from many people in the village, and even bullied the mountain fox..."

   Liu Nier, some older dolls explained.

   "Then... you can't fight like this..."

  Bai Huining's face turned red with anxiety. In her opinion, magpies are the matchmakers for their young couple, and they are romantic divine birds. How can they be bullied.

   "Hey, look, the little clouded leopard stole the little magpie, which made the magpie angry. The magpie did this to protect its own children and family, and it should."

   "Yes, little aunt, the little leopards are raised by Aunt Susu, they are good, and they should eat magpies. Magpies are bad, and they are considered unlucky if they are eaten, so we beat them."

  The little boy talked in a hurry, his words were innocent and pure.

  Bai Hui can't beat them.

  Seeing this, Yu Qi'an pretended to come forward, cleared his throat, and gave the decision to his little girlfriend: "Well, you are not allowed to hit magpies anymore, if you hit again, I will kill your little sparrows."

  When the kids heard this, they covered their crotches one by one, and shouted one by one: "Donkey surnamed shameless!"

   Then they all strode away with short legs and scattered in all directions.

  Obviously, he has received the magical skills of the old boy Yu Qi'an.

  This old boy has never been in shape. As early as the first time he came to the village, he was very familiar with the children and played happily. The children were not afraid of him just because he was a foreigner, and they dared to make trouble with him.

   "Hahaha, Qi'an, your surname is quite famous here..."

  Wang Qingwen and his wife, who were driving chickens and ducks to the farm, burst into laughter.

  Chen Ling also watched this scene with a smile, and walked over to lead the little green horse.

   "What do you do when you are rich?"

   "Go to the city to pick up Ruirui, buy some wine and food along the way, and drink some more tonight."
