Chapter 313 The whole family moved to the woods
“It’s okay, let’s just take a look at the door.” Lin Hai said with a smile.
"Then just watch." Lin Heng knew he couldn't stop him and gave way. I went over and looked at the mother forest musk deer and her two babies.
The two young forest musk deer have also grown up, and are slightly smaller than their mother.
However, you have to wait until December next year to breed. This year, only this big female forest musk deer can breed.
If the male forest musk deer caught today survives, he will mate with the female forest musk deer this year to breed a new batch of offspring.
The third father, Lin Xutao, said with emotion after reading: "It's really amazing, this is another money tree!"
A male forest musk deer can steadily earn thousands of yuan every year from musk. , simply enviable.
"It looks like he's not doing well. It's hard to say whether he'll make it alive or not." Father Lin said modestly.
"You can definitely do it, Second Dad." Lin Hai nodded, looked at Lin Heng and said excitedly, "Brother Lin Heng, tell me how you got it quickly,"
Lin Heng spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay. The main reason is that it's difficult to find traces. Sometimes I can't find traces for several months. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to run around and find them. After I find them, I just set a trap or guard. The clip caught it. "
"You must have skills. Most people can't catch it even if they find the traces." The third father praised, he felt that he really had a knack.
Lin Heng smiled and walked towards the house while talking to everyone.
The eldest brother Lin Yue saw Lin Heng coming back and said, "Brother, the plum blossoms are all dead. I gave two to my mother to steam and eat at noon. I also gave two bamboo chickens to fry. "
Lin Heng said with a smile: "I just wanted to eat the golden catfish."
"Oh, you also got a golden catfish, it's so beautiful!" Third Dad came over and said in shock.
Lin Yue grinned: "Caught in Sanchagou."
"Good-looking!" This catfish made people envious.
After chatting for a while, Lin Heng and his eldest brother went home. One was to release fish and the other was to collect bees.
"I'm with you!" Lin Hai ran away with the two of them.
He gave the two-pound catfish to his eldest brother and carried the golden catfish home. The remaining three small ones and two plum blossoms were placed on the Red Maple Mountain.
"Dad!!" Xiaoxia saw Lin Heng rushing over as usual.
“Good baby!” Lin Heng picked her up, spun her around in the air and put her down again.
Xiulan looked at him and said: "If you don't come back, I should ask dad to go to the mountains to look for you."
Caiyun asked curiously: "Second brother, did you hit something big that delayed you? ”
Lin Heng nodded: "I met Lin Musk, so I was delayed. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to arrange a trap to capture him alive, and he has been locked up in the pen at Hongfeng Mountain."
"Lin Musk!" Lan and Caiyun both looked surprised.
Lin Heng sat down and took a sip of water to explain. After hearing this, Caiyun said in surprise: "Congratulations to the second sister-in-law, my brother got another money tree."
Xiulan smiled and said : "If it is alive, it will indeed be called a money tree."
After chatting for a while, he went to the backyard to put the golden catfish into the fish pond. The water in the fish pond was clear and slightly green, and the lotus leaves once again occupied a large area. Lotus flowers of various colors are still blooming.
Lin Heng asked Lin Hai to help and trimmed some lotus leaves again. The underwater koi and other fish are very happy and have grown up a lot now.
Some green shrimps can be seen from time to time in the gaps between the stones. These are shrimp fry that Lin Heng put in before. They can be used as food for fish, and they can also eat algae to purify the water quality.
As soon as the golden catfish was released, it slowly dived to the bottom of the pond and searched everywhere, scaring some small fish and shrimps into hiding.
Lin Hai said with envy: "Brother, the fish in your pond are quite beautiful, and the lotus flowers are also beautiful."
Lin Heng said with a smile: "You want me to give you a few, the number It’s not good to have too much. You can also send lotus flowers.”
Lin Hai suddenly said happily: "Thank you very much. I'll get a small pond when I go back and then come here to get it."
Take Lin Hai to look around the backyard again, and they turned back to the house.
Xiulan handed him the bee-proof gauze hat and said, "Be careful, the bees can easily riot against the philosopher at noon."
"Don't worry, I'm not that reckless." Lin Heng nodded. , looked at his wife and said, "You and Caiyun pack up the things you want to take to Hongfeng Mountain. We will go there for lunch at noon and move there at once."
"Understood." Xiulan nodded in agreement.
After Lin Heng finished speaking, he and Lin Heng took Xiongba to the eldest brother's house next door.
Lin Yue held a beehive and said: "My father made this beehive. He always said that I finally found a nest of bees today."
"I also know about the mountain. There are two swarms of bees, let’s go harvest honey together when it rains in a few days.” Lin Heng said with a smile.
"That's good." Lin Yue smiled, and the three of them took the tools needed to collect bees and set off to the mountain.
The three of them were talking and laughing along the way, as if they were children again. As we chatted, we arrived at the place before we knew it.
Lin Heng carefully observed the tree branch where a bee swarm gathered. It was only two meters high from the ground, but the surrounding branches were a bit dense and difficult to control.
"Sir, let's make a fire. If that doesn't work, let's light the smoke." Lin Heng looked at his elder brother and Lin Hai and said.
"Let's do it." The two nodded, turned around to find the materials, and quickly made a small fire.
Lin Heng smeared honey on the bamboo basket, and then stretched it to the place where the bees gathered. After two minutes, bees gradually flew up.
Lin Heng was not in a hurry and waited slowly. Chinese honeybees are a very docile bee species, and even wild ones will not be very violent.
After about seven or eight minutes, all the bees stopped on the bamboo basket to eat honey.
Lin Heng came out with the bamboo basket and placed it in the beehive that had been smeared with honey, but this step was not smooth.
These bees are busy eating honey from the bamboo baskets, but they don’t even fly to the beehives below, which makes people anxious.
"You guys stay away." Lin Heng glanced at his eldest brother and Lin Hai, and waited until they were far away before shaking the bees down hard.
With a bang, many bees flew up. Lin Heng shrank back in fear. Many bees rested on him. Fortunately, he had the anti-bee hat given by Xiulan on his face. Screen blocking.
Seeing that most of the bees had gotten into the hive, Lin Heng picked up the lid and walked over to cover it.
“It’s done, come here and help tie him up.” Lin Heng called to his elder brother.
“It’s coming, it’s coming.”
The two of them ran quickly and tied up the beehive with ropes. Lin Heng also put out the fire on the ground.
Lin Yue looked at his younger brother: "Brother, you weren't stung, were you?"
Lin Heng smiled and waved his hand: "I just got stung on my hand. It's not a problem. How can I collect bees without getting stung."
He felt that he had mastered the technique of collecting bees now. , no need to ask for help anymore.
"Is everything okay?" Lin Yue came over to check.
Lin Heng waved his hands and said: "It's okay, just go back with the beehive on your back."
"Okay." Lin Yue spread his hands and could only go back and carry the things on his back.
Lin Heng sucked on the area where the bee stung him. The pain was extremely painful, but he could bear it. On the way back, he gave his elder brother a brief summary of the precautions for raising bees.
They are free-range and do not require much management. They only need to manage warmth and food in winter.
After helping to install the beehive high up under the eaves, Lin Heng turned around and returned home.
Xiulan saw her coming back and asked, "It's done, are you not injured?"
"I was stung twice on my hand." Lin Heng said with a smile. "Oh, I told you to be careful." Xiulan shook her head helplessly, walked over with the cooling oil and said, "I'll show you and apply some medicine."
She took Lin Heng's hand and looked at it, glared at him, then blew on it and applied the cooling oil on it.
Lin Heng grinned. He was very happy to have a wife applying the medicine, and it was worth getting stung.
Looking at the pretty face close at hand, he said: "Daughter-in-law, do you think I should bring back the two nests of bees on the mountain to keep?"
Look behind Hongfeng Mountain There is a nest not far from the lintel, and there is also a nest on the mountain over Sanchagou. They are all wild bees he discovered last year. He harvested the honey but did not take back the bees.
Xiulan thought for a while and said: "You can try to collect the one that is close, and keep the one that is far away. No one else knows about it anyway."
"That's right, the one cut out of the mountains. Honey should be better too." Lin Heng nodded.
"We have packed up everything. Shall we move there now?" Xiulan looked at him.
"Yes, let them help later." Lin Heng nodded.
He drove the tricycle first, loaded up his things and asked his elder brother to drive over, and took people over for dinner.
He took out the red dates and took Xiaoxia to ride with him. Feng Sheng was left at home to look after the house, and Xiong Ba followed him to the mountains.
“Oh, I’m riding a horse!!”
“Yang Qing, I’m riding a horse!”
“Brother Lin Weiwei, I’m riding a big horse!”
……
Xiaoxia rode on Hongzao's back and waved excitedly, sharing her happiness every time she met a friend or elder.
Lin Heng supported her for fear of falling. The father and daughter swaggered through the village and soon arrived at Hongfeng Mountain.
Mother Lin looked at a group of people coming and said, "You are here, the food is ready and waiting for you."
Lin Heng smiled: "Mom, why don't you do it? We have to wait a little longer. We have to go up the mountain to put things away before we come over to eat.”
“Don’t put them away. I’ll help you after dinner.”
Mother Lin came over directly, hugged Xiaoxia and brought her into the house.
"That's okay." Lin Heng couldn't resist his mother, so he tied the horse to the edge of the ground inside and went into the house to eat.
There were two large tables of food in the room, one for women who didn’t drink, and one for men who drank.
Today, when someone is hired to build a dam, Lin Heng is naturally going to have a drink with his third father and others.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Lin Heng scooped up some food. He had not eaten anything since morning and was already hungry.
No one thought that he didn't know how to treat guests. This meal of big fish and meat was the best way to treat guests in this era.
After dinner, everyone helped move some of the things they had brought to the mountain. Although the road was built, tricycles could not go up, so they could only use red dates to carry them.
After the things were pulled up, Caiyun helped Xiulan clean them up, while Lin Heng asked his elder brother to strengthen the existing fence around it, and then pulled up the platform with wooden floor in front of the wooden house. A tarp.
The main function of this is to prevent bugs. Although there are maples and aspens nearby that are not prone to bugs, it is still good to prevent them, otherwise it will not be beautiful if a bug falls out while eating outside. .
Other areas are as they were before. The swings have been reinforced and Lin Wei and the others are running up and playing enthusiastically.
After a simple tidying up, people can live here, and it is much cooler than in the village.
"I went to the dam to help." After the house was finished, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.
"Go ahead." Xiulan nodded.
After passing here, Lin Heng also picked up a hoe to help widen the width of both sides of the mountain stream. The excavated sand can be used to mix with cement. The stones are the material for building dams. The soil is transported to both sides and piled up. Can grow crops.
Father Lin said: "Don't all dig, just two people pulling horses to transport cement and sand to the bottom of the mountain. This little sand and stone is not enough."
The eldest brother Lin Yue said with a smile: "Then Lin Heng and Lin Hai, you two can go."
"Okay." Lin Heng did not refuse, and he and Lin Heng led the horse down, hitched the wooden cart and started to work. live.
Extending both sides of the mountain stream is not a simple task. Today, only one-tenth of the project was completed in one day. It is expected to take more than ten days to complete.
No one was in a hurry. When they were tired, they stopped to drink water and eat watermelon.
In the evening, after eating downstairs and watching Third Dad and the others go back, Lin Heng pulled Xiulan and Xiaoxia up the mountain with a flashlight on.
"We need to use candles again this time!" Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.
"That's much better than not being able to sleep due to the heat." Xiulan glanced at the sky and said with a smile.
"That's right."
The three of them walked up with flashlights and soon returned to the forest. It was not hot at all.
The bad thing about the forest is that there are a lot of mosquitoes. They buzz incessantly after they enter.
Instead of enjoying the shade outside, they opened the door and entered the house directly.
The cabin is not hot at all and does not need a fan.
Light a few candles and the room suddenly lights up.
After washing her face with water, she went to bed to rest. Xiaoxia shared a bed with them.
The three of us didn’t feel hot when we were next to each other. The temperature here was just like late spring.
"It is indeed much cooler in the woods than at home." Xiulan said with emotion.
"That's for sure. It's already tall and there are trees to provide shade during the day, but the wind is strong at night." Lin Heng nodded.
"Then live here for a while and wait until you finish building the dam." Xiulan said leaning next to him.
"Dad, I want to hear a story."
"Okay, let me tell you a prophetic story..."
It was just past nine o'clock, and Lin Heng told three stories in a row before Xiaoxia fell asleep holding his arm.
After chatting with Xiulan for a while, Lin Heng also fell asleep. Compared to sleeping on the mountain, it was more comfortable to sleep in the house.
Because they went to bed early, the three of them also woke up early the next day. They woke up at dawn at half past five.
I wasn’t woken up by the birds.
Although the chirping of birds is very noisy outside, because the wooden house has insulation cotton in the sandwich, the sound heard inside is not loud.
The two just looked at each other, then lay down and continued to rest.
At six o'clock, the golden morning sun shines into the window through the gaps in the leaves. The two wake up Xiaoxia to wash up and exercise together.
The air in the woods is extremely fresh in the early morning. Whether walking or exercising, it is more comfortable than at home.
"You and Xiongba play here for now, I'll go back and milk some milk."
After the exercise, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said.
"Okay, Xiaoxia and I will take a walk around the area." Xiulan nodded and agreed. The forest in the early morning made people want to explore.
Lin Heng went down the mountain and walked straight towards Lin Musk Circle. He wanted to see the specific situation here.
