Chapter 695 Mink
Climbed the wooden ladder and came under the eaves. After a lot of effort, Zhang An finally caught the two weasels and put them into the cage.
However, the wild nature is fierce, even if it is trapped in a trap, it will still be fierce.
When Zhang An opened the trap to catch them, they all grinned and looked menacing.
If I find an opportunity, I will give Zhang An a bite.
“Caught them all?”
Zhang Jianguo had been holding on to the wooden ladder on the ground. He waited until Zhang An came down and then asked.
“I caught it, and it never ran away.”
Zhang An raised the iron cage in his hand so that his father could clearly see the weasel inside.
After being caught in the iron cage, they still refused to give in. They ran around in the cage and kept pulling.
There is a saying, looking at the way they stare at people, they are really evil. No wonder some people call them Wong Tai Sin.
"Just catch it. This thing is very vindictive. It will come out from time to time to cause trouble for you. It will be very troublesome."
Seeing that there is no way out in the iron cage. , Zhang Jianguo finally felt relieved after the two weasels jumped around anxiously.
If nothing else, this thing can really destroy.
Although it is such a small one, it can kill chickens and ducks that are much larger than it.
Although Zhang An's family raises many chickens and ducks, and it doesn't feel bad if they occasionally cause trouble to one of them, they can't bear the autumn wind blowing from time to time.
It would be even more unbearable if it were placed in other people's homes. It is not as easy for them to raise a chicken as it is for Zhang An's family.
The most important thing is that other people’s homes don’t have security guards like Zhang An’s to keep watch at night.
This weasel is also a bully and afraid of the strong. Once it comes once without any hindrance, based on its memory, it will definitely keep an eye out for trouble.
“Let’s go, Dad, it’s not yet dawn, go back and take a nap, put this thing away for now, and then pick it up again when it’s dawn.”
The sky is still pitch black at the moment, so I can still seize the time to go back and get two or three hours of sleep.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you sleep or not. People nowadays go to bed very early at night. Even though Zhang An and his son got up before dawn, they still slept for six or seven hours.
Compared with those people in later generations who stayed up late every day, went to bed at two or three o'clock in the morning, and got up at seven or eight o'clock to go to work, they had much more sleep.
But Zhang An’s family doesn’t have anything busy right now. There is no need to get busy at dawn. It would definitely be good to sleep a little longer.
As for the two weasels in the iron cage, this should be their last time.
Now they are not protected by the state, and they are still a scourge. Now that he has caught them, Zhang An cannot let them go, otherwise his work for several days will be in vain.
Even if they don’t come to bring trouble to Zhang An’s family in the future, it’s impossible to let them continue to live.
The sadistic nature of this thing is there. If it doesn’t cause trouble here, it will definitely go to other people’s homes.
So the most straightforward approach is to give it a happy ending, once and for all.
In the hands of some mountain people, it would be cheap to kill it, and you have to peel off its skin.
Of course, it is impossible to eat it. There is only a few ounces of meat on this thing, and everyone dislikes it. Zhang An has never seen anyone eat this thing.
Putting it in the yard, Zhang An found a lock and locked the door of the cage.
Then I found a big stone to put on the top of the cage to prevent these two things from jumping around too much.
Back in the room, Su Ying still hadn't woken up yet and was sleeping soundly.
Zhang An lay back on the bed, hugged his soft wife, closed his eyes, and fell asleep soon.
When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight, and the rooster crowed for the last time.
The cherries in the cherry forest are still being picked, and it will probably take another two days.
After having his hands free during the day, Zhang An picked out the two culprits caught in the morning.
"Oh, you really caught me."
Huang Erye happened to be passing by the door and saw the two weasels locked in the cage by Zhang An at a glance.
"This thing just keeps an eye on the troubles in other people's homes. If they don't come, then I'll be sorry that I spent so much effort to deal with them."
Zhang An chuckled, In the final analysis, these two weasels are seeking death themselves.
If they had stopped thinking about Zhang An's home after their last failure, the dragon gate formation set up by Zhang An would have been just a decoration, and they might not have suffered this disaster.
But they are naturally restless guys, so no one else can blame them.
"Second Master, do you want this thing? If you want it, just take it away."
Normal people don't want this weasel, but it doesn't mean that no one wants it.
When he remembered that Mr. Huang was an expert in dealing with these things, Zhang An asked.
After all, if he stays, the most he can do is kill him with one blow.
"That's okay. There happens to be an old guy in the mountains who picks up these unscrupulous things to make veterinary medicine. I'll take them to him and see if I can exchange them for something."
Huang Er The master was not polite to Zhang An. He knew that if Zhang An stayed with these two things, he would only be able to vent his anger at most.
He has been wandering around the mountains for decades and has met all kinds of people.
Although this is just a remote mountain, this mountain is not small at all, and there are many strange people in the mountain.
Especially in the Miao villages in the mountains, many Miao people like these unorthodox things. They have their own inheritance. If they take these things back, they can prepare all kinds of weird things.
"Then you can just take it and figure it out. It will save me the effort of taking action."
Although Zhang An has not been in contact with these people, he has heard about it a little bit, but he also Without asking any further questions, he immediately handed the cage containing the weasel to Mr. Huang.
"I'll see if I can give you something you like in exchange for it."
Huang Erye has already known Zhang An's preferences, which are nothing more than some animals. , medicinal materials or flowers.
These things may not be easy to find outside, but in this mountain, for those Miao people who have lived in the mountains all their lives, they are extremely ordinary things.
After Mr. Huang left, Zhang An was not idle either. He went into the cherry forest and picked cherries with everyone.
Although it was only morning and the sun was still hidden in the clouds, Zhang An’s orchard was already bustling with activity.
One good thing about summer mornings is that they are not like autumn, when the leaves and grass are covered with dew in the early morning. When rural people work, their hands, feet, and mouth are separated. They usually do the work they need to do with their hands, and they talk to other people about everything to pass the time.
"Zhang An, our Zhang Lin is about to graduate. Do you think he will go to a normal college or a high school?"
No, as soon as Zhang An came over, a sister-in-law asked Zhang An.
My sister-in-law's son Zhang Lin is Zhang An's nephew, but he has already been in the fifth server, so he is not as close to Zhang Tie and others.
But they are all in the same village, so Zhang An is quite familiar with them.
In addition, Zhang Lin and Zhang Tie were together and in Su Ying's class, so Zhang An had some understanding of his situation.
"Sister-in-law, your Zhang Lin's grades are not bad. If you and my brother want him to start working early, then it is definitely best to go to a normal college. But if you want him to work hard, I My suggestion is to go to high school as much as possible and work hard for three years to get a college student for your family. After all, everyone’s conditions are not as good as before, so it is definitely good to study for a few more years.”
If ordinary people were here, Zhang An would definitely not say this.
Because you are not one of your own family, and you give advice to others, when they fail to achieve their desired goals, they will complain in their hearts.
But Zhang An knew a little about Zhang Lin from his sister-in-law's family, and he was still able to study well.
Every time Su Ying came back with a paper to correct, Zhang An would turn over it a little. On the one hand, he was concerned about his younger brothers and sisters at home, and on the other hand, he also wanted to kill time.
As for Zhang Lin, the child's grades have always been good. He is always in the top few in the class, and he is also within the top ten in both grades.
Such results are not bad in schools in towns or counties. Compared with Zhang Bin before, they are really much better.
Furthermore, this child is considered to be a good boy. He has always been very practical in his studies. He has never heard Su Ying say that he is playful or anything like that. Zhang An feels that as long as he is willing to work hard, he is still a talent that can be developed.
This era is still an era where studying can change your destiny. Although it is already at its tail end, for those who want to study to get ahead, it will definitely be much better than the era a few years later.
So Zhang An thinks that if you can go to high school and try to go to university, you should try your best to go to high school.
In the universities of this era, you are destined to excel after being admitted, and the gold content is much higher than in the future.
"Then I will talk to him more when I get back and ask him to work hard. He will not take the key exam like his Uncle Bin, but if he can get into any school, it is the blessing of Bodhisattva."
Zhang Lin’s mother was originally undecided. Although they knew that her son’s grades were not bad, it was not a problem to get into high school.
But they are worried that if they go to high school and fail to pass the college entrance examination, it will be in vain.
If you go to a teachers' college, you can at least have a guarantee.
But what Zhang An said at this moment spoke to her heart.
In the village, when talking about college students, everyone will think of Zhang Bin from Zhang Jianjun’s family.
That was a college student. There was no one in the nearby good villages, and there were only a few in the whole town.
She suddenly felt hot in her heart, thinking how great it would be if her son could also be admitted to college.
So, with this mentality, she decided to let her son give it a try.
As Zhang An said, their family is already well off now. If they really fail to pass the exam by then, the worst they can do is to work hard for two more years, grit their teeth, get more money, and let their son return to school. Repeat and take the test again.
“You have to say it, but try not to talk too much to him during this period, because now they are preparing for the exam, so don’t let them feel too much pressure.”
Although the children in the third grade of junior high school are still young now, they have reached the age where they can hide things in their hearts. Especially children in rural areas sometimes think too much about things.
Such as what to do if you fail to pass the exam, or what to do if your family has no money if you pass the exam, all kinds of things.
Including Zhang Bin before, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind before the exam. During that time, Zhang An basically went to answer him every day.
So Zhang An's two stern aunts now don't even say harsh words to Zhang Xing and Zhang Tie, the two more naughty children, for fear that they will think too much.
"Okay, okay, we will definitely pay attention."
Zhang Lin never knew this, but Zhang An said so, and she felt it must be reasonable.
At noon, everyone went home to eat.
Before Zhang An’s family finished their meal, Mr. Huang came over.
"Second Master is here, come and eat with me."
Zhang An's family greeted Mr. Huang, and Wang Fang got up directly and went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
Huang Erye didn't refuse either. He just came back from the mountains and hadn't eaten yet. Moreover, in the home of Zhang An, a close disciple, he was already not so polite.
"Zhang An, this time I used your two weasels to give you a small thing. You will definitely like it."
Huang Erye sat next to Zhang An and said with a smile. .
"Oh? What kind of thing did you change, Mr. Huang?"
When Zhang An heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. You must know that Mr. Huang has always had something to say. You have two things to say, and you never say anything randomly.
"Hey, look, it's just such a little guy. Although it's two for one, and it's still a big one for a small one, it's definitely worth it."
Huang Erye smiled and said The iron cage placed on the ground was picked up.
Zhang An took a closer look and saw that the cage was the same one he used to keep the weasels, but the thing inside was a mink cub. This was an unusual little thing.
“Hey, I actually got this one. We don’t have anything like this in the mountains.”
Zhang An fell in love with this little sable when he first saw it.
“There used to be some, but I haven’t seen them in recent years. This time they brought back a litter of pups from outside. I know you like these little things, so I exchanged one with them. .”
Huang Erye was immediately satisfied when he saw Zhang An's happy look on his face.
“But the weasel is not a rare thing, so I can only change to this cub with messy fur. Others are not willing to have other pure-colored fur.”
Huang Er Ye said with some pity, in his opinion, it would be nice if he could get one with a purer coat.
"Second Master, it's not a pity, it's not a pity. It's already good if you can get it. I intend to raise it, and I don't want to do anything else. It doesn't matter what the color of the coat is."
< br>Zhang An doesn’t care about the color of the fur, and he thinks that this kind of marten looks better.
What's more, the weasel is exchanged for the mink. Although they are relatives, they all make their own money after all.
"Hahaha, since you like it, that's fine. I just met a litter of cubs, otherwise I wouldn't have exchanged them for them."
If it were an adult mink, Mr. Huang would I don't think so, because the ferocious nature has been developed and it is completely unsuitable for breeding.
And this mink cub looks like it has just left the nest, so it is suitable for domestication.
