Chapter 159 Congratulations
For most of the night, Chen Ling stayed in the cave, planting the things that had been piled in the hut since entering the mountain.
Now, follow the creek in the forest, walk on the quaint stone arch bridge, cross the huge lotus pond, and smell the fragrance of the lotus. If you walk a few steps forward, the fragrance of the flowers will become more intense.
The area around the stone pavilion in the past has become a small garden, with a rainbow hanging in the air above and clusters of flowers below. All kinds of flowers and plants are vying for beauty, some are as white as snow, some are as pink as clouds, and some are delicate and beautiful. Like fire.
The varieties are diverse but not chaotic, the fragrance is rich but not pungent, the flowers are brilliant and gorgeous, like being in a fairyland.
Chen Ling opened his arms and took a few deep breaths. He felt that the fragrance of the flowers had layers of fragrance, some were light, some were refreshing and refreshing, and some were strong and mellow. Inhaling the scent made people feel relaxed and relaxed, and the body and mind were unconsciously relaxed.
In addition to flowers and plants, he also planted several wild fruit trees around the pavilion among the flowers and plants, including 'Tangpaozi', which can make people drunk after eating too much, as well as sweet and sour wild cherries and hawthorn trees, scattered here and there. Distribution, complementing flowers and plants.
Returning to the front of the hut, there are orchids planted here. There are wild grapes on both sides of the hut. The vines climb up to the roof at an angle and are covered with bunches of purple-red grapes. They are slightly frosty and delicious. The mouth is full of sweet and sour, juicy and delicious.
As for herbs, kiwi fruit, August melon, wild sunflowers, tobacco leaves and other things were scattered among the woods by Chen Ling. Of course, some sunflowers were also planted behind the huts. They were golden and beautiful, but there were only a few scattered ones. Trees, relatively few.
Including the previous hawthorn, pomegranate, wolfberry, etc., he also planted two trees in front of and behind the hut, close to the house, the contrast between red and green is very interesting.
"Not bad, very good."
Chen Ling circled around again and was very satisfied with the current layout of the cave.
Then he caught the two mountain geckos, put them in an earthen jar in the hut, and covered them with gauze to prevent them from running around. He closed the door again to prevent the golden pheasants and birds from entering, otherwise these two little gadgets would be eaten if he didn't pay attention.
...In the early morning, Chen Ling woke up to the crisp and sweet chirping of birds. Although he only slept for half the night, he was still refreshed. By this time, the two fires had been extinguished, leaving only a few fireworks. The breath is slowly mixed with the faint scent of rosin.
“Let’s go, Fugui, slip away and see if there is anything to gain from the trap.”
He got up and moved for a while, and Wang Lixian called him to go near the stream to check the harvest.
"Haha, let's go. It's been a whole night, how's it going, brother Xian, what do you think you can get, do you have any idea?"
"Yes, how can I not do it? ? You just can’t talk about it outside. Once you say it, you’ll lose everything.”
“If you don’t believe it, it’s all nonsense. ”
The two of them chatted about each other and walked down the mountain. Whether this kind of thing was real or fake, there was no need to delve into it. Anyway, after they walked over, the trap closest to the stream did not fail.
I caught a few water camels, also known as cattails, or big and small herons. As for the nickname of the water camel, it is because this water bird often shrinks its neck and slumps its shoulders, like a camel. .
The water camel's feathers are not only earthy yellow, but also covered with reed flowers, black and white flower horizontal stripes, and a pointed beak.
Compared with the slender Egret and Qingzhuang, this water bird looks strong and fat, with a lot of meat on its body and is very plump, which is not a small gain.
After these few were trapped, two had their heads bitten off by wild beasts, while the others were still struggling.
Not far away, several condoms were bitten off, and the surrounding area was in a mess. The clip hidden near the condoms was also taken away, leaving blood stains on the ground.
Wang Lixian checked the traces and said: "It's either a fox or a gray wolf..."
Took a few steps forward and asked Chen Ling to walk over and take a look. There were nooses, traps, and traps in that place, but the bait was missing and the prey was not caught.
I saw messy footprints all around, shaped like a plum blossom, divided into five petals, about the size of an egg.
“This is a lynx, more cunning than a fox. Unless it’s an underage kid, it’s hard to catch. I guess it smells blood. Let’s take a look further. I don’t know. Have any large items been stolen by it..."
Wang Lixian stepped on his footprints, stood up and said to Chen Ling.
Bobcats are lynxes, they are very vigilant, and condoms and clips do not work well for them.
Chen Ling secretly noted that he could now identify the traces of various wild animals. When he came, no matter yesterday or today, there were actually many fresh hoof prints left nearby.
He thought he could catch deer or camphor trees again, but he didn't find any.
Fortunately, two semi-large wild boars broke into the surrounding traps. They had not yet grown in size, only weighing about 70 or 80 pounds.
Now still alive, but covered in blood, the two took a closer look and found that the two wild boars still had clamps on their legs and were trapped in the trap. Now they have no strength to struggle.
"Good guy, you came in with a clip. Fortunately we set a trap, otherwise these two vigorous guys might have run away with the clip."
Chen Ling enters Before, he took the wild boars out of the two traps and gave them a knife each.
“Haha, but this harvest is really beyond expectations.”
“Don’t worry, there are two traps in the col, and the traps are also set. If they don’t fail, they won’t be trapped either. If the bobcat steals it, we will gain more.”
Wang Lixian helped carry the two half-large wild boars on his back, and continued walking towards the final trap while carrying several water camels.
"Aww, ahww..."
One trap failed, but a miserable and hoarse cry came from the other trap, softly, like the sad whimpering of a kitten.
The two hurriedly walked to the col to take a look. They were stunned when they saw it. It was actually a fox. It is the most common spotted fox in China. Its scientific name is red fox or fire fox. Its fur is lighter and yellowish white. , the hair on the limbs is light brown or brown, and the tip of the tail is white.
However, the one in the trap had multiple injuries all over its body, some from the trap and some from injuries caused by other wild beasts.
Seeing Chen Ling and the two approaching, he immediately stopped shouting and looked over with vigilance. There were blood-stained feathers, bone residue, and fallen leaves in a messy pile around it.
Apparently more than one or two prey were stolen.
“Ha, you are so greedy, you stinky fox. You ate it secretly and didn’t want to leave. Did you fall in?”
Chen Ling came back to his senses, put down the prey on his back, and raised the The gun is about to kill it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lixian stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Forget the wealth, this fox can't be killed..."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"This is a fox with cubs. Catch it and let it go."
Wang Lixian shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Pregnant with a baby?"
Chen Ling was suddenly even more surprised, wondering how he could tell that she was pregnant with a baby. However, he also knew that it was a rule not to kill pregnant cubs when entering the mountains, so he quickly caught the fox from the trap. Seeing that its injuries were serious and it seemed that it had fought with other wild beasts, he helped clean its wounds. Apply some medicated powder.
Ignoring the fox’s struggle and hissing threatening voice with great fear, after applying the medicine, Chen Ling just let it go and it screamed. , jumped to the side, and limped into the lush shrubs and weeds.
“Let’s go, it’s time for us to go back.”
Wang Lixian glanced at them twice, then looked away, helped Chen Ling carry the two half-large wild boars on his back, and then removed the clips one by one and put them away.
The two of them rushed back.
“Actually, hunting is also a science. Before there were guns and cannons, our ancestors could live well by relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, because they abided by the rules of the mountains.”
“ Now that we have guns and cannons, they are so powerful that people who know the rules and those who don’t can go hunting in the mountains. I wonder if there will still be wild things in the mountains in a few decades.”
Chen Ling deeply agrees with what Wang Lixian said. It won't take more than a few decades. In another ten or twenty years, the wild animals in the mountains will be endangered and extinct.
The two of them went down the mountain for a walk, and then came back with two and a half large wild boars and some wild birds. Everyone was pleasantly surprised and said that this was definitely safe and they could go out of the mountain today.
There were people talking and laughing. After packing up their things and carrying them, the group slowly went down the mountain and drove towards the village along the stream.
Going outside the mountains, you don’t have to stop and go, it’s much faster to look for traces of prey.
We set off in the morning and arrived at the mountains near Langdao Rock shortly after noon. Everyone rested for a while and ate something. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, they climbed over Langdao Rock and went into the mountains to hunt for four hours. God, come back with a full load.
At this time, the village was in sight. Everyone was very happy and sang folk songs at the top of their lungs.
The dogs also knew that they were very close to home, so they couldn't wait to bark and rushed down.
"Hey, those who entered the mountain are back..."
"Where are they? Where are they? Which team is back?"
"Seven teams. , the rich dog is so conspicuous, can’t you recognize it?”
The villagers working on the slope were the first to see them, and one by one they stopped what they were doing and stretched their necks to look.
"Yeah, look, aunt, these seven teams have hit so many things!"
"Yes, yes, it's only been a few days, how did they hit so much?"
" Not to mention, there are so many people in the seventh team, I don’t know if it will be enough.”
When Chen Ling and the others came up, the villagers saw how many prey there were and immediately surrounded them.
The villagers working in the fields, from far and near, all came running, gathered around to watch the fun, and kept asking questions.
"That guy is incredible..."
Chen Dazhi stood in the crowd, spitting stars and talking about the thrilling events of the past few days in the mountains, including chasing mountains, hunting wild boars, encountering dogs, He told everything about the local leopard, as if he was involved in the whole process.
Everyone was excited after hearing this. When they asked the last question, it turned out that the leader was Chen Ling. A group of people gathered around Chen Dazhi to laugh at him.
"Huh? Fugui, why didn't I see you?"
"Uncle Fugui has gone home a long time ago. He is thinking about his wife and can't stay here."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then laughed.
“This kid from Fugui didn’t feel so bad when he married a good-looking wife. If I wanted to see him, he should just tie his wife to his belt and take her with him wherever he goes.”
"Let's go, let's not care about wealth and status, carry the prey to our house, and sell it at the big market tomorrow!"
... Chen Ling carried the sika deer on his shoulders and carried it in one hand. Xiang Deerzi followed the two dogs back home. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a woman in a small gray dress squatting by the well, washing Wang Zhenzhen's hair. This woman had fair skin, a plump waist, and Wang Zhenzhen was washing his hair and talking and laughing.
Beside them there was a pile of freshly washed clothes.
The sight stunned him.
"Sister Qiumei, why are you here? Where is Susu?"
"Huh?"
When Qin Qiumei looked up, she saw that Chen Ling was dirty He walked into the yard, carrying prey in his hands, and two dogs helped carry the package.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you back?"
Wang Zhenzhen was so happy to see him. He grabbed his hair with white foam in one hand and ran over, cheering and cheering, which made Chen Ling smile.
After seeing the prey he was taking, the little girl’s eyes were brightened, and she reached out to touch it despite her head being covered in foam.
“Wow, sika deer!”
“Is this a baby sika deer? Why did you kill it? If you catch it alive, we can raise it!”
"It's like a wild boar cub. Feed it grass. When it grows up, you can exchange it for money and you can even give birth to cubs."
Wang Zhenzhen was chirping, looking around at the sika deer and fragrant deer.
Chen Ling put down the prey, pinched her little cheek, and then asked: "Where is your sister?"
"My sister just went out, and she went to find Sister Xiufen."< br>
The little girl was completely focused on the prey he brought back. She squatted in front of it, touched it and looked at it without raising her head.
Seeing this, Qin Qiumei walked over with a smile and whispered: "Susu went to get medicine. In fact, her body and bones are quite good, but she can't catch cold in the past two days."
Chen Ling thought this was a bit strange and wanted to ask...
Qin Qiumei smiled and winked at him: "Congratulations!"
Congratulations? Congratulations?
Chen Ling was full of doubts and was about to ask what was going on.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened.
