Chapter 61 Heavy Fog
It rained for most of the night.
It wasn’t until four or five o’clock in the morning that the sound of rain outside the window gradually became smaller.
So when I woke up in the morning, it was all covered in white fog.
The entire small basin in the mountains where Chenwangzhuang is located is shrouded in heavy fog.
No one could be seen more than five steps away.
After having breakfast, Chen Ling had nothing to do, so he went to Wang Lixian's house to borrow a cart.
After the people from the forest seed station deliver the fruit saplings, we can drive the oxen to pull them.
The cart owned by Wang Lixian's family is quite old. His family does not raise any livestock, so the cart is not used very much, so it looks even more outdated.
It’s incomparable to Wang Laishun’s family.
But Chen Ling was tired of dealing with people like Wang Laishun's mother-in-law, so she didn't bother to borrow it there.
On the way back after borrowing a trolley.
I met a group of people rushing out of the village to build a greenhouse for Chen Erzhu.
Last night's heavy rain caused the greenhouse frame that had not been completely fixed yesterday to fall down, and it had to be re-fixed.
Such a big stall is a big trouble.
So early in the morning, Chen Erzhu used the loudspeaker of the village committee to shout several times, asking people to go there early after eating. He said that it was foggy today and it would be harder than before, and he would give the villagers more money.
No, as soon as I heard about the extra money, I went there very early.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s heavy fog or not, it’s said that we have to pay more, so we have to do it despite the heavy fog.
"Uncle Sangui, are you going to work?"
Chen Ling stopped the cart beside the road to make way for this group of people.
But when I saw an old man walking behind the crowd, my eyes lit up and I hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
“Who is it?”
The fog was quite thick, and the old man couldn’t see people clearly.
"I am rich."
"Oh, I am rich. Are you going to work too? Why didn't I see you a few days ago..."
Chen Sangui is tall and thin. Although his clothes are simple but neat, he is not as sloppy as other old men in the village.
Aside from being clean, the biggest characteristic of this old man is that he walks extremely fast but speaks extremely slowly.
Just meet once and say a few words to make an impression.
But I have to say that this old man’s carpentry work is really beautiful. People from several nearby villages and even the county town are looking for him.
It became famous twenty years ago.
"I'm not with Erzhu, and I'm still busy with things in the fields. How can I have time to work for him."
Chen Ling explained, and then said: "Uncle Sangui, please If you can’t wait for a few days, give me a ride on a bullock cart.”
“A bullock cart?”
“Oh yes, I almost forgot, you bought it from the market a while ago. A little white cow!"
Chen Sangui said with a smile.
His granddaughter often goes to Chen Ling's house to play, and when she goes to eat there, she will tell him some interesting things, and he naturally knows about it.
"This thing is easy to handle. It's just a bullock cart. I'll make it for you as soon as you say it will be done."
"Wait for this Sunday. I'll ask Xizi to call you after it's done. . ”
This old man speaks very slowly, but he is a resolute person who does things very neatly.
Chen Ling was very surprised when he heard this and praised Chen Sangui with a thumbs up.
He is an old carpenter after all.
“Are there any requirements for wood and size?”
Chen Sangui asked.
"There is no requirement for the wood. The size should be slightly larger. Uncle Sangui can make the rest as you watch."
Chen Ling didn't say much else and just asked the old man to do it. Go by experience.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go to work first."
"Okay, Uncle Sangui, walk slowly."
......
Chen Sangui followed After a group of people left, Chen Ling pushed the cart home and put the cart in the backyard.
The sky is cloudy today.
The fog still didn't dissipate until about ten o'clock.
I made an appointment with the people at the Linmu Seed Station yesterday, and they said the fruit saplings would be delivered at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Ling is not in a hurry. After cleaning up the cow dung in the backyard, I also scrubbed several large water tanks that were upside down in the yard.
Filled it with water, took some fish from the cave, and put them in.
It will be convenient to take when you want to eat fish in the future.
The fish in Dongtian have reproduced twice, and the previous fry have grown into half-sized fish.
It’s perfect for making Wang Susu’s favorite miscellaneous fish pot.
So most of the fish in large water tanks are this kind of fish that can be called big or small.
“Keep them first, wait until the old turtle eggs hatch, and then release two turtles. You can eat them later if you want.”
The old turtles in the cave have been laying eggs for some time. In fact, just two days after Chen Linggang put the male turtles into the cave, they completed mating with the female turtles.
In addition, the cave environment is suitable and contains mysterious substances that are beneficial to their growth.
So the eggs were laid quickly.
Chen Ling counted twenty-two.
I didn’t bother to take care of anything. After I took some water plants from the cave and put them into the water tank, I took several bundles of wire ropes coiled into a circle and moved a wooden ladder into the cave.
The vegetables in Dongtian are growing more and more prosperously. The tomato and eggplant plants are almost growing into 'small trees', and they are full of fruits. If they are not picked for a day, the branches and vines will droop.
It’s hard to sell if you can’t finish it.
Of course he is not willing to sell it. Dongtian's things have miraculous effects and can easily arouse suspicion.
Having no other choice, Chen Ling prepared to use wire ropes to hang up the branches and vines, or use a wooden stick to place a stone or brick to support the branches and vines to prevent them from hanging down.
It is very effective for tomatoes and eggplants.
Cucumbers and beans with vines and climbing vines are even simpler. Tie a wire rope between two big trees and they can climb up by themselves.
This way, Chen Ling would be much less worried.
After spending the whole morning tidying up in Dongtian, the small vegetable garden behind the hut became much neater.
"It looks much more pleasing to the eye like this. Otherwise, such a fairyland would be so messy, which would be really annoying..."
Chen Ling said to himself with satisfaction, leaning on After looking at it with the hoe for a while, I came out of the cave.
It was almost noon at this time, and the heavy fog still hadn't dispersed, but had only faded a little.
That is, from not being able to see anyone five steps away, to not being able to see anyone ten steps away.
Not much better.
After all, they are a basin in the mountains. The overall terrain is low. There is no wind and no sun. Once the fog starts, it will be difficult to dissipate.
“This guy, if this continues, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deliver the saplings at two o’clock in the afternoon.”
Chen Ling looked around and thought: "I hope the weather will be good tomorrow."
Then he put away the wooden ladder and the unused wire rope, and prepared to go back to the front yard to make lunch.
Before he even walked out of the door, two small yellow things jumped down from the tree in front of the courtyard and stopped in front of him.
When Chen Ling saw it, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you two here again?"
It was the two yellow skins from before.
One of these two little things is fat and one is thin. The fat one was almost poisoned to death, but the one that came back slowly has been hiding behind the thin one. It secretly glanced at Chen Ling with its big eyes. It wanted to get close to him but couldn't. Somewhat scared.
The thin one picked up an egg from nowhere. It was about the same size as an egg. The green shell was slightly gray, not like a poultry egg.
Put it gently in front of him and bark at him in a low voice.
Then he turned around and left with the fat yellow man behind him.
“Wait, don’t leave yet!”
Chen Ling stopped the two yellow men, then took off the water ladle from the wall, filled it with some water from the cave sky stream, and handed it to the two little things.
“Since you know what’s good and what’s good, I won’t treat you badly, just drink.”
“Just in time to heal your injury.”
The skinny yellow one I was stunned for a moment, then I smelled an unusual smell, and excitement suddenly appeared in my two little eyes.
The fat one screamed, and then they all walked to the water ladle, and quickly drank the water from the Dongtian River.
After drinking, the two yellow skins were extremely excited, running around Chen Ling like two wild dogs.
She also shuttled back and forth between his trouser legs, rubbing and licking his palms to express her intimacy with him.
Now, even the fat one is not afraid of him.
Finally, he stood up with the thin yellow-skinned man, played around him together, and then ran up the wall and disappeared from Chen Ling's sight.
After a while, Chen Ling withdrew his gaze and frowned slightly. Thinking of his slightly bloated yellow-skinned body before, a strange thought suddenly occurred to him.
"Isn't that idiot a female with a baby?"
If it is true, after Chen Ling caught it, the thin one was so nervous and worried that it would die again and again. It’s not surprising that he begged for mercy.
