Chapter 56 Addiction
“Isn’t it your doll? No wonder, I was wondering just now that this doll said its mother had hatched chicks, why do you still buy it?”
The old man grinned. He smiled and didn't feel embarrassed.
On the contrary, he said to Chen Ling: "Hurry up and ask for the baby, otherwise, the family planning policy is becoming more and more strict every year. This year, I have said that I am going to steal the house and get the cow. Will I get it again in the future?"< br>
“I don’t know which son of a bitch in the village wants to do such a damaging trick, which scares people so much that they don’t dare to have children...”
Chen Ling's face froze slightly, and then he showed an awkward but polite smile, "Look what you always said, those slogans are just slogans, and the baby will still be born. This thing looks very bluffing, but in fact, It's not that serious in our poor mountains and valleys..."
After hearing this, Wang Susu pursed her lips and snickered.
But the old man nodded, "That's right, the punishment will be severe. At worst, he will go to live in the mountains and forests, no one can stop him..."
As he said that, he gave Chen Ling Pick twenty chicks.
"Come and see, junior, see if these chicks can succeed?"
Chen Ling glanced at it and nodded: "Sure, you seem to be in good spirits..."
"Liu Nier, the three of you help Aunt Su Su drive the chicks home. Let’s do it.”
“Okay.”
Chen Ling took out the money and handed it to the old man.
“Chicken seller, how do you sell this chicken?”
As soon as the old man received the money, Mrs. Wang stood at the door holding the bucket and shouted.
Chen Ling smacked his lips when he saw this, "You're right today. We have a weasel attack here recently, and several families' chickens have been harmed. Your business can't go wrong today."
"Ouch, what's the matter with the weasel? I was thinking of going to a few more villages, but it seems I won't need it today."
The old man was surprised and happy. Smiling from ear to ear.
He thought that Chen Wangzhuang had come to the right place. There was a weasel in the village, which meant that he was going to make a fortune.
He hurriedly picked up the basket and walked towards Mrs. Wang: "Come on, come on, one old hen for thirteen chicks. If you want to buy it, it's two cents each..."
...
Chen Ling walked into the yard, and a group of chickens were running around the yard screaming, looking for food, and getting familiar with the unfamiliar environment.
After a while, the chickens walked to the edge of the chicken coop and started robbing each other around the stone trough.
These foods were specially prepared by Chen Ling for the old hens, and the chicks ate them quite happily.
Even Liu Nier took the scarabs to feed and ignored them.
"Uncle Fugui, if the chickens don't want to eat now, then I'll put the scarabs here first."
Liu Nier put a bottle of scarabs next to the chicken coop, Xiaomori Let it go as well.
Then the three little kids were ready to run out of the hospital.
"Hey, let's go now. It's almost noon. You three can eat here. I'll prepare delicious food for you at noon!"
Chen Ling hurriedly stopped them.
At this time, Wang Susu dried the bedding on the wire rope in the yard and asked the babies to stay.
"No, my second sister and second brother-in-law are here today. My mother asked me to go back at eleven o'clock and help them work in the fields in the afternoon."
Liu Nier As he said this, he wiped his nose with his sleeve, "Uncle Fugui, I'll come and play with you on Sunday next time."
After saying this, he ran out of the yard like three ponies.
"Hey, this kid..."
Chen Ling smiled and saw that the chickens were eating and drinking in the yard, so he put them all into the bamboo basket in the house.
Weasels come whenever they want, but we can’t let these chicks be harmed anymore.
However, after lunch, there was no sign of the weasel until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Ling guessed that maybe they were full of chickens at home, or maybe there was someone at home, and the dog was also at home, so they didn't dare to come over.
Before waiting for the weasel, Chen Ling cleaned the backyard and packed away the useless things in the vegetable cellar. The backyard is actually larger and more spacious than the front yard, but the house is too old, and the fence is still an adobe wall built in the 1950s and 1960s, covered with various thorns and broken glass.
After Chen Ling’s father passed away, no one lived in the backyard, and all kinds of sundries and food were kept there.
“After the flood, it’s best to open up the house after the flood. It’s best to open up the front yard and rebuild a big yard. Then there will be enough space for whatever you want to raise.”
Chen Ling made a plan , fed the cows, turned around and went to the front yard.
……
At night, the moonlight is bright and clear.
After Chen Ling and his wife took a hot bath, they were about to get ready to go to bed.
Suddenly, all the dogs in the surrounding area started barking like crazy, making a huge noise in the night.
Hei Wa and Xiao Jin also followed and screamed wildly in the yard.
"This is Huangpizi coming!"
Chen Ling hurriedly put on clothes and said to Wang Susu: "Susu, don't come out of the house and don't turn on the light, you may scare them away."< br>
Wang Susu responded softly, "Do you want to take a flashlight?"
"No need to take it, I can see things."
Chen Ling opened the door and left After going out, he is nourished by the cave water and cave vegetables every day. Now his vision at night is not much different from that during the day, and he does not need a flashlight at all.
"You two, be quiet and stop barking."
Chen Ling scolded in a low voice, and the two puppies immediately stopped barking and ran over to him and lay down next to him.
Patting the heads of the two puppies, Chen Ling whispered: "You two, please stop running around and barking. Just wait here with me. As long as Huang Pizi dares to come in this time, let me They never come back.”
As time passed, the barking of dogs in the village gradually subsided.
Chen Ling squatted under the eaves, staring at the movements in the yard, waiting for the weasel to arrive.
However, after waiting for more than half an hour, Chen Ling dozed off and still disappeared.
"Chi-chi-chi..."
In the night sky, a few bats flew by from time to time.
At this time, there was a slight noise coming from nowhere, and the two puppies suddenly raised their ears, stared in one direction with bright eyes, and let out a low whine.
This is a warning.
"Are you here?"
Chen Ling immediately cheered up and held down the two puppies to prevent them from moving rashly.
Then I looked around, but still found nothing.
No?
Chen Ling turned to look at the two puppies, Heiwa and Xiaojin, but found that they were staring in two different directions.
One was staring at the wall to the east, and the other was staring at the door, ears cocked, eyes unblinking, and growling at the same time.
Chen Ling looked over and saw a yellow figure on the wall slowly appearing in his sight. He looked around and carefully looked around.
At the same time, another weasel appeared at the door. It stepped over the fence gate extremely nimbly and quickly approached the chicken coop against the wall.
"Damn it, you still know how to attack on two fronts and fight on two fronts..."
Chen Ling secretly spat, staring at the two weasels.
These two little things are a lot bigger than before. They must have felt the benefits of eating their own chickens, which made them want to steal chickens again.
Chen Ling didn't know how delicious the chickens he fed with Dongtian vegetables were in Huang Pizi's eyes.
Come during the day and come at night, this is obviously addictive.
