Chapter 251 Feng Shui Treasure
It is normal to have scorpions in the fruit forest. Not to mention that this is at the foot of the mountain. Even in the village and in the homes of the villagers, there will be scorpions crawling around at night. So the adults didn't take it seriously.
Scorpions like to stay in the shade and do not come out during the day, because the sun can kill them, so they hide in the nooks and crannies of their horns during the day. Unless people search for them, they will not crawl out. of.
In addition, there are two water channels crisscrossing the outside of the farm, so scorpions cannot crawl through, so there is no need to worry.
But Wang Zhenzhen has been shouting, saying that there are really many scorpions, and once they are caught, there will be a big nest. If they are caught, they will be sold for a lot of money. Let them go out and have a look.
Chen Ling, Weng and his son-in-law couldn't bear her pull, so they went out to take a look.
When I saw the result, I was a little surprised.
There are not so many scorpions as usual.
Liu Nier and several other little kids were happily turning over stones to catch scorpions in the orchard. The least they caught was almost two kilograms.
You must know that a scorpion only weighs about two grams. There are large and small scorpions per pound, at least 250 or more.
The scorpions caught by such a few children would weigh at least ten pounds.
That guy is two to three thousand scorpions.
I really don’t know it until I see it, and I’m shocked when I see it.
"What's going on? Where did so many scorpions come from?"
Wang Zhenzhen shook his head: "I don't know. When we came over to play, Liu Nier said we were going to do a ground trap. Birds, who would have thought that as soon as a stone was removed, a few scorpions crawled out from under it, so we caught them all. After catching them, we turned over the stones on the side, and there were also many scorpions lying underneath. During the day, they It doesn’t run very fast, but it’s easy to catch.”
"Well, my little aunt is right, we just didn't bring enough things to hold them, otherwise we would have caught hundreds of them."
Liu Nier held up a clay pot to show Chen Ling, It was full of scorpions crawling "rustling". Chen Ling lowered his head and glanced, "Oh my god, this jar is almost full."
Recently, we have almost run out of cicada shells. They went out to play in the morning and didn’t bring anything with them. They still found this earthen pot from the chicken coop.
"Uncle Fugui, hurry up and get something to catch. There are really a lot of scorpions in your orchard."
"Yes, uncle, come and see, this stone It’s not as big as my head, and there are so many scorpions hidden under it.”
Not far away, Snotlout raised a stone with one hand and shouted at him, asking him to go over and take a look.
Chen Ling and his father-in-law walked over to take a look.
Under the opened stone, I saw densely packed yellow-brown scorpions, all of them crawling slowly with their tails raised. There were even a few fat old female scorpions with their tails curled up and their backs It was covered with white and tender little scorpions, hundreds of them, as if they had a layer of white pimples, which made people get goosebumps when they saw it.
“Good guy, our orchard has become a scorpion nest.” Wang Cunye stared.
Chen Ling walked to the side and turned over two stones to look at them. They were also densely covered with scorpions.
"Catch them, there are so many scorpions. If you don't catch them, they will crawl all over the world at night, and you won't be able to make a camp."
Wang Susu is particularly afraid of scorpions. If he knew that there were so many scorpions hidden in the orchard, he would definitely scare the whole farm. They didn't even dare to come out.
And with so many scorpions, it would be bad if you accidentally hurt someone.
"Just catch them. Since we know they are hiding under the rocks, it is easy to catch them during the day."
During the day, scorpions are not as active as at night. They cannot run fast, and it is difficult to hide. Good The catch is basically what you see. Just find something and catch it. If it doesn't work, just sprinkle a layer of soil on them. Don't worry about them running away.
"I'll get it, I'll get something."
When Wang Zhenzhen heard this, he rushed back to the farm and gave them two bamboo clips and fish baskets.
My father-in-law took it and muttered: "Why are so many scorpions popping up? It's a bit abnormal."
There are many poisonous insects on the north mountain, but they don't go to the orchards down the mountain so much. More scorpions.
Chen Ling also shook his head and said he didn't know, and asked a few questions worriedly.
In fact, he knew in his heart that it must have been a lot of rain a while ago, and the water in his house overflowed, attracting so many scorpions to gather here.
After catching the scorpions here, continue turning over the rocks.
Then I discovered that there were not only many scorpions, but also other bugs.
Centipedes, spiders, poisonous ants, and even many leeches were found in the ditches.
There are also more and more various types of biting mosquitoes in the grass.
They are all very big.
“Good guy, there are so many watermelon worms.”
Turn over the stone, and in addition to the densely packed scorpions and centipedes, the common “watermelon worms” have also shrunk into small balls. , lying quietly in the moist soil, like a layer of small black pimples growing on the wet soil.
In addition to watermelon bugs, there are also land bugs, which are grey-black fat bugs with an oval shell called Tu Yuan. After opening the stone, they will run around in large and small swarms, and can kill people. Startled.
Watermelon bugs, land bugs, stove horses... there are actually many such "woodlouse".
They are all similar to scorpions, they all live in nests one after the other.
The orchard seems to have become a base camp for insects.
Logically speaking, in addition to chickens and ducks, there are also many birds flying here every day. How come there are so many bugs.
Did they all drag their families here at night?
While he was wondering, Chen Ling continued to peel off a stone, but was so frightened that he almost cursed.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Wang Cunye and a bunch of kids came over quickly.
"Zhenzhen, don't come here with them yet. There are a lot of poisonous longworms here."
Chen Ling stood up and took two steps back slightly, and in front of him was a stone that was lifted. Behind the block, there were four or five soldering iron tips lying in the grass. They were not big in size. They were all small snakes that had just grown up. However, these things were highly venomous, so don't dare to be careless.
“Poisonous worms? We have grass-headed snakes on the farm, and I have spread snake repellent. Why are there still venomous worms coming?”
Wang Cunye came over holding a bamboo pole, pulling grass, and then asked Wang Zhenzhen to pass the bamboo pole in his hand to Chen Ling.
Bamboo poles can prevent snakes.
Snakes are afraid of bamboo poles. If you encounter a snake, pick it up with a bamboo pole and the snake will become soft.
Using it to fight grass can scare away snakes in the grass.
“Good guy, there really is one. It’s rare to see such a small soldering iron tip.”
When Wang Cunye saw it, he grabbed all the small soldering iron tips, stuffed them into bamboo baskets, closed the lid, and let them stay with the scorpions.
Although this iron tip is poisonous, he has been catching snakes all his life, and these small long insects are not a problem at all to him.
But his mind is not on this now, but he can't help but mutter: "Is it because the snake repellent is not effective because it is close to the ditch?"
This situation is actually Quite a lot.
Snake-attracting medicine is also prone to failure in places near water sources.
Later, we also saw some non-venomous snakes such as cauliflower snakes and black tip snakes, as well as highly venomous five-step snakes, white-headed vipers and other venomous snakes.
“Something’s wrong, something is so wrong.” Wang Cunye frowned and muttered to himself.
In the wild, there are several different types of snakes gathering together in one place, which is quite bizarre and strange.
“I didn’t use the snake-attracting medicine, did you use the snake-attracting medicine?”
“No, Dad, if you are willing to give me the medicine, how could I be in our house? It's being used around the house." Chen Ling shook his head quickly. In fact, he knew that in addition to the rain washing out the water in the ditch, the water flowing in the ditch every day was also diluted spiritual water. Although the dilution ratio was large, it was stronger than ordinary water after all, and it was also very attractive to wild things.
Thinking of this, he looked carefully at the route he had taken along the way, and found that these snakes and insects were indeed gathering near the ditch.
While thinking about water, Chen Ling discovered something new in the water.
It turned out to be two cedar fish, the kind of small salamanders found in mountain streams, and they were also attracted.
As soon as people approached, they slipped into the water and slipped away with a splash.
Wang Cunye also discovered two new types of insects, one is cantharis and the other is bamboo elephant. The shells of the two insects are somewhat similar, but they are quite different.
Cantharis is poisonous and can be used as medicine.
Bamboo elephants are pests that specialize in eating bamboo and can be eaten. Because they like to suck bamboo branches and leaves, whether they are fried or grilled, they have the fragrance of bamboo.
"You can catch this bamboo elephant. Catch more of it and fry it with the scorpions on two plates. Let's have dinner and dinner at noon."
"Yeah, but you have to save some of the scorpions. I still have some wine for you to brew. The wine brewed from snakes, scorpions, centipedes, etc. is very tonic. I’ll make a big vat for you, and you can sell it later.”
"As long as you have the ability, I don't care if you sell it for 10,000 kilograms."
Wang Cunye laughed as he spoke, "Actually, if you put it this way, if there are too many poisonous insects in the orchard, it's not necessarily a problem. What a bad thing."
While Weng and his son-in-law were talking, Wang Zhenzhen and a few kids ran to the field ridge restlessly, and after a while, they pointed to the sky and shouted.
"Look at the sky, there are birds, so many birds."
As they were shouting, they heard a sound of flapping wings and friction with the air in the sky, which was very loud, and then huffing and puffing. Groups of birds began to fall towards the orchard, like dumplings falling from the sky. The scene was really spectacular.
The birds that originally made their home in the orchard were so frightened that they kept flying.
Chen Ling had sharp eyes. When he looked over there, he couldn't help but said: "It's the birds we saw that day. They all flew here."
Wang Cunye looked over and recognized it. When he came out, he was stunned immediately, "Really, why are you flying here?"
I saw this group of birds flying into the forest and heading straight for the ditch.
One stood by the water, lowering its head to drink water.
After drinking the water, I looked for bugs to eat in the grass among the fruit trees.
"Good guy, I came here for a drink of water when I was thirsty. It seems that our farm is a geomantic treasure. We can gather everything here."
Wang Cunye saw this group of birds He gradually became active among the vegetation and smiled.
Hearing this, Chen Ling followed these words and said: "What kind of geomantic treasure land is this? I don't know if I cultivated it wrongly or planted it wrongly, and it attracted such things..."
" Huh? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, his father-in-law let out a sigh and squatted down in front of a tree, "There are Ganoderma lucidum growing on this tree. It is not only a Feng Shui treasure but also a Feng Shui treasure."
"Huh? Ganoderma lucidum is growing on this tree. "What kind of Ganoderma is this? Is it valuable?" Chen Ling hurried over to take a look.
I saw the old man picking a gray-white fan-shaped Ganoderma lucidum from the tree.
“This is Green Ganoderma, also called Tree Tongue. It’s not very valuable, much worse than Red Ganoderma and Purple Ganoderma.” Wang Cunye shook his head and handed the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand to Chen Ling.
“But if you take medicine, the effect is not bad.”
"Haha, it seems like your place is really good. It attracts insects and birds, and it can also grow Ganoderma lucidum. It's a great place, so hurry up and plant ginseng too."
"Don't worry about ginseng, ginseng will make money in a few years Later."
Chen Ling took a look at the Ganoderma lucidum and said, "Wait until autumn and plant some Ganoderma lucidum while planting ginseng. This thing grows quickly."< br>
Ganoderma lucidum is an annual. It can be harvested after one year of planting.
Whether wild or cultivated, there is no exception.
The so-called century-old Ganoderma lucidum and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum do not exist.
Ginseng is different.
Ginseng is divided into century-old ginseng and thousand-year-old ginseng.
Even for normally grown ginseng, the so-called grass ginseng and round ginseng, it will take three to six years to reach a selling price.
Not to mention the wild ones.
Although Chen Ling said that there was a cave, he didn't need to follow common sense.
However, ginseng grown outside must still follow the laws of nature.
It’s just that he didn’t expect to make a fortune by growing ginseng from outside.
As for ginseng, he plans to grow it himself and put it in the Qinling Mountains at the same time.
Otherwise, there is no wild ginseng to be found in the huge Qinling Mountains, which is really unreasonable.
"In a few days, we will train the kite, find some dangerous places, near cliffs, deep pits, etc., and put ginseng seeds in them."
Chen Ling thought about it, thinking about the future It is necessary to reduce the amount of spiritual water poured into the ditch once a week, or once every ten days. Otherwise, slowly, the forest will be filled with snakes and insects, making it impossible to get down.
“Well, it’s not a big problem. Although there are a lot of snakes and insects, they don’t hinder the chickens and ducks. Not to mention that there are so many birds flying over. There are not enough insects in the forest for them to eat.”
After walking around in the fruit forest, Wang Cunye said to his son-in-law.
Chen Ling also nodded, and then the two began their daily work of collecting eggs.
After working until about ten o'clock, after picking up chicken and duck eggs, the flood control commander named Li Min brought two more people over and said he was going back to the city for a meeting and stopped by to buy some wine.
After saying that, they saw poisonous insects such as scorpions and centipedes caught by Chen Ling, Weng and his son-in-law and a group of little kids, and they were immediately frightened.
But after being frightened, the idea suddenly came to my mind that this must be used to make wine.
I stepped forward and asked, and it was true. I happily asked if there was such a wine in the farm now.
“No, it hasn’t been brewed yet. Let’s wait until next year. This kind of wine is not good if it is too short. It will have no effect.”
Wang Cunye waved to them without raising his head.
"Okay, we will buy it again next year. Your wine is really good, but a bit expensive."
Li Min nodded, becoming more and more convinced, thinking that he is indeed a capable and conscientious person. There are many experienced drug farmers who refuse to sell their medicines even if they are not effective enough.
Her words made Wang Cunye raise his head and thought, good guy, one or two drinks costs fifty or sixty yuan, is it just a bit expensive? It seems that the son-in-law is right, the horse is not fat without the night and the grass is not fattened. These bastards must be greedy for money.
I don’t want to deal with these people anymore.
Chen Ling didn't know these things. After asking what kind of wine he wanted to buy, he quickly fetched two jars of wine from the warehouse and carefully tied the knot with the rope so that they could lift it up steadily.
Then, I got more than two thousand yuan.
Within one month, he sold wine three times in a row and made thousands of dollars, which made him very satisfied.
Thinking to myself: This door-to-door business is so cool. You can make money without leaving home. Please hurry up and get more people like this.
