Chapter 350 Worth one hundred taels of gold
When it comes to raising poultry in rural areas, what you fear most is not the harm caused by wild animals such as weasels and mountain civets, but plague.
Once a plague breaks out, it is no longer a small matter for one household. The poultry in the entire village will suffer, and one death will be a large area.
The weather begins to warm up in spring. If you encounter a year with changeable weather, you are most likely to suffer from plague.
As soon as I heard that there was a plague somewhere, I quickly put the poultry in cages and woodsheds and covered them with black cloth to prevent them from seeing the light.
But this year, because Chen Ling is a veterinarian, the news is better than in previous years. Before the plague has spread here, everyone has been alert in advance, and everything will be fine.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."
After busying with vaccines, Chen Ling had a leisurely afternoon. Chen Ling wandered in the orchard, whistling and imitating the call of a tit.
The call of a tit can be imitated by whistling, and it is the simplest.
Only his whistle failed to attract the tits.
Instead, he attracted a group of ducks over, thinking he was going to feed them, and they quacked around him.
In anger, he called out to the little guys from home and drove the ducks away.
Spring is the peak season for bird mating and breeding.
Learning from a courting male bird is a good way to practice ventriloquism.
But today Chen Ling made these ducks lose their mood.
Then he took out the green horse, rode on it, called a group of lively little dogs, patted the horse and left.
Halfway through the second month of the lunar calendar, these puppies are already four months old.
Everyone looks very strong.
It is said to be the first generation wolf dog, but it was well raised by Chen Ling, but it didn’t look like a wolf at all.
In addition, he is taken out for training every day and has a huge amount of activity. His whole body is covered with tendon meat, making him much stronger than the wolf cubs in the mountains.
Especially the lead puppy, after the change of hair, except for a bit of gray on the chest, everything else is black.
It has perfectly inherited the genes of Heiwa. It is also the largest and the most powerful among the puppies.
When it is young, it rushes the hardest and runs the fastest.
Endurance and speed are both No. 1 among the little dogs.
Chen Ling named it Erhei.
Other dogs are not as distinctive as Erhei.
They are similar in color to ordinary green dogs, either black and gray, or black and yellow.
Both males and females are available, different in height and shortness.
Except for Erhei, Chen Ling called out the big ones and the two-haired ones, all the way up to the nine-haired ones.
The farm needs dogs to guard it.
Since he decided to keep these ten little puppies, Chen Ling naturally wanted to name them.
In this way, whether you take them into the mountains or Heiwa Xiaojin into the mountains, there will never be no dogs at home to guard you.
"Drive..."
Chen Ling did not take the mountain road. He rode a small green horse and led the dog group from the dam to the east, from Donggang to the county town. On the city wall.
There is no one on this road. A group of horses and dogs run freely, galloping and roaring, making dust and smoke everywhere on the dirt road.
This is because there was no rain in early spring, so the road was full of loose soil.
Chen Ling didn't care about that, he just felt so relieved that he covered his mouth and nose and laughed.
On the contrary, the horses and dogs were run into disgrace. When the little green horse reached the city wall, it kept shaking its big head and snorting. The little dogs also shook their hair randomly and sneezed repeatedly.
But they were very excited after running this distance.
The little green horse kicked its hooves and barked regularly, looking like it was ready to do it again.
In the past two days, Chen Ling fed it with spiritual water and spiritual things to temper its temper, and also rode on the road to correct some of its bad habits. Although the results were good, it would still take a long time to correct it.
However, this little green horse became more spiritual after being nourished by spiritual water and spiritual objects. After running, it became more and more in tune with Chen Lingneng.
This is a big improvement.
At least it gave Chen Ling a sense of accomplishment and his efforts were not in vain.
The little dogs were wagging their heads and tails around the little green horse, whining and circling, barking softly, urging Chen Ling to go faster.
I also want to have fun again.
It made some passers-by and nearby residents look askance.
Some troublemakers even came up to ask Chen Ling if he was a local, thinking that Chen Ling came from outside to play.
Some county residents knew Chen Ling.
Because in the first month of this year, Chen Ling often drove a tractor or walked his dog around on a motorcycle.
Knowing that this is the Chen Fugui who runs the farm in Chen Wangzhuang.
I just don’t know why I suddenly switched to riding a horse now.
But I am as good at playing as ever.
These people came forward and watched Chen Ling teasing the little green horse and a bunch of little dogs on the city wall. They felt it was more interesting than the circus on TV.
Some people even suggested: "Go to Dumb Lake. No one goes to the vast wilderness of Dumb Lake. You can run around there as you like. There is water and rivers. When you are thirsty, you can drink horses and feed dogs."
"Ang, we were about to go."
Chen Ling smiled, did not dismount, turned the horse's head, and rode northward. A group of strong little dogs were excited. hurriedly followed.
A group of people were left admiring and finding it interesting.
Go around in a large circle from the Dumb Lake, then follow the Dumb River to the south, cross the trail with twists and turns and enter the forest farm. Along the road in the forest farm, horses gallop all the way and dogs hunt all the way. .
Always follow the forest farm to Han Chuang’s home in Tubaoling outside Huangni Town.
After running this big circle, it can be said that it is refreshing and clear.
Little Qingma is also getting along better with Chen Ling.
After drinking some tea at Han Chuang's house, feeding the horses and dogs, and leaving some prey behind, we set out on the return journey, walking on the main road to the county town to pick up Wang Zhenzhen and go back.
Horse riding is addictive, and the feeling of galloping is fascinating.
The better the horse and the more skilled you are at riding it, the more irresistible it becomes.
But today it was Qin Qiumei and the others who came to play with Wang Susu. They could help look after the children, so Chen Ling had the opportunity to go out for a walk.
If you want to go out the next day, you will have no chance.
……
In early spring in February, the grass grows long and the orioles fly, the distant mountains are vast, and the nearby hillsides are almost green.
The tender green grass has grown a few inches, and some are still wearing small flowers like stars that are flickering.
The branches of willows on the river bank sprouted new buds, like strings of green orchids, hanging unevenly straight into the water.
Although this spring has been dry and dry, and the rivers and streams are very shallow, the air is still the same as in previous years. When spring comes, it is warm and sweet.
Relaxing both physically and mentally.
The breeze blows and the water ripples.
In such a bright spring light, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived in Chenwangzhuang.
They were a group of men with dark and red faces, some young and some old, wearing leather clothes, felt hats and riding boots. Each of them carried a long pole and led the horse slowly on the dam.
The jingling of horse bells is melodious.
The horses' hooves tap, tap, tap, crisp and dull, coming in the spring breeze.
Some villagers working in the farmland on the northwest sides of the reservoir did not know where these people came from, and they looked curious, suspicious, and wary.
A closer look revealed that the men were not only carrying long poles on their shoulders, but there were also fierce falcons standing on the other side of their shoulders.
This made the villagers even more curious.
Curiosity is curiosity.
This strange horse team is dressed in such strange outfits that people have to be wary.
The old man at the entrance of the village drove away a group of mischievous kids.
But I saw the group of men, old and young, stopping slowly and turning a blind eye to the dogs barking at the horse team. One of them, an old man with a gray kite standing on his shoulder, took off his felt hat and looked around. I saw a willow tree full of birds in the distance.
Using the shovel at the end of the long pole, he scooped up a piece of soil and threw it violently.
With a crash, the trees were full of birds flying in fright.
The gray harrier standing on the old man's shoulder swooped out instantly and caught a bird firmly.
When the little kids saw this scene, their eyes lit up and they gathered around with a roar.
A group of kites were chattering around, and the adults also joined in.
This is how Yaozike attracts people wherever he goes.
They traveled thousands of miles and ate hundreds of meals. This is how I talk to people.
When you meet someone who is attracted by the kite, just ask and answer them, and if you meet the right person to talk to, food and accommodation can be solved.
But what surprised Yao Zike in Chenwangzhuang was that the adults and children here were different from those elsewhere.
The adults didn't mention staying overnight at all.
If you want to provide food and accommodation, you have to pay for it. He also said that many of their families had received guests who came to worship Prince Turtle last year, so they had experience.
Let the kites frown.
I feel that these people are not as simple as those in the mountains.
As for the children, they were still asking questions around the kite.
But after the initial curiosity, they raised their little heads one by one, looked at the kites on their shoulders, and talked all over the place: "Uncle Fugui's kite can do somersaults, can your kite do it?"
"My uncle and grandpa's kites can blind the eyes of wild boars, can yours do it?"
One by one, the kite visitors frowned more and more, and looked at each other, with gray heads standing on their shoulders. The old man from the kite stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Is this Fugui called Chen Fugui?"
This time, the villagers and children were surprised. They never thought that this strange horse team actually knew Chen Ling. .
……
This group of kites were the same people Chen Ling had greeted and left their addresses and names with last year.
Chen Ling thought they wouldn't come.
When the kids came to call him at home, he was still in a daze.
"Uncle Fugui, are your two bald men here? Take them out to kill them. Their kites are stupid."
Liu Nier shouted.
When Chen Ling heard this, he patted him on the head and laughed and scolded: "I just followed the TV and learned to talk blindly, and my power and authority jumped out." Fly away."
"Huh? If the two bald men are not here, then what we just said is really nonsense."
Liu Ni'er and a bunch of little kids were crying. Get up.
They were just bragging to the kite guest about how powerful and smart the Chen Ling family's kite was.
Who knows, Chen Ling's kite has flown out again. What should I do?
"Can you call me back, Uncle Fugui? We can find Er Baldy useful."
"I'll try to call you back. I don't know if I can call you back. If I fly too far, , you can’t hear my whistle.”
Chen Ling took out the bamboo whistle, which was his specially equipped eagle whistle. It was extremely loud and could travel a long distance.
Blow several times in succession, and the long whistle will spread. After the two bald men hear it, they will fly back.
No need to wait where you are.
Chen Ling took Liu Nier and his gang out, preparing to meet the kite guests.
In the past two months, his kite has not come home. He thought it was spring and the bald kite went out to find a mate.
Who would have known that this stupid bird went to the mountains to find a honeycomb.
I don’t know if it’s because I fed it some bee pupae in the cave last time.
Erbalds are increasingly attracted to all types of wild bees and bee pupae from hives.
I have been bringing some honeycombs to my house every now and then.
After many times, Chen Ling understood what it was doing every day, and it actually ate a lot of honey as a result.
Er Baldy and the two dogs were fed by the spiritual dew of the cave.
Now the feathers are thick and hard, like iron feathers, and wild bees have no way to attack them.
It becomes more and more like a fish in water.
Chen Ling led a group of little kids out of the farm. The little green horse in the barn started to bark and stood up, with its front legs on the wall outside the barn, wanting to follow. come out.
Seeing this, Chen Ling took out some peanuts and fed it, then let it go.
A horse with this kind of personality cannot hold it back.
Even if you don’t ride it out to gallop around, you can just let the horse go when you go out.
Chen Ling didn't hold it even when it was released.
The little green horse followed behind them with its hooves clattering, tail swaying, and its pace was very cheerful.
When the little ones want to touch it, it won’t let them touch it. It also wants to bend one of its hind legs and kick it.
Chen Ling stretched out his hand and slapped it in the face. His eyes widened and it immediately became obedient.
Horses are creatures that can feel human emotions.
Chen Ling has trained it several times these days, and the little green horse already knows that when Chen Ling hits it and glares at it, it can no longer do it.
Otherwise there is no benefit.
Liu Nier looked on and said: "Uncle Fugui, my second uncle said that you don't know how to train animals. You have trained horses to become dogs. I have to follow you when you go out, wagging your tail as you go. , just like walking a dog."
Chen Ling was furious when he heard this: "Fart, what does your second uncle know? Call your second uncle over and see if I yell at him."
< br>"I say that training animals is like training dogs. Can he train it successfully? My horse is a strong horse. Look now, listen to me more."
A group of little kids laughed non-stop after hearing this, saying that the green horse was not as good as the white calf. The calf could roll around, look after the house, pull the cart, and plow the fields. It was a good animal and a good companion.
Chen Ling agrees with this. It can be seen that this little green horse still has some training.
When Chen Ling led a group of children and the little green horse to the entrance of the village, more and more villagers gathered around Yao Zike.
Seeing Chen Ling coming, they all dispersed to make way for him to come forward and talk to Yao Zike.
When Old Gray Harrier saw Chen Ling, his dark red face showed a smile, and he said that the goods Chen Ling wanted were brought to him and he could check them now.
What Chen Ling needs is mainly a batch of medicinal materials special to Qinghai and Tibet, such as snow lotus, saffron, cordyceps and rhodiola rosea, etc. The price is not sky-high, but it is still worth the trip for these kite travelers.
After simple inspection of the goods, the transaction was smooth.
Chen Ling put the goods on the horse and prepared to invite the kite guests to the village for a meal. After all, long-distance business is like a black market, and there will be more exchanges and cooperation with each other in the future.
However, these kite guests politely refused.
I just want to see if Chen Lingxun’s kite is as powerful as those kids say.
They are all called kites, and they already have excellent skills in training kites.
Unexpectedly, he was almost devalued as worthless by those kids.
When Chen Ling heard this request, he wanted to say that his kite was not at home.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the cry of an eagle, and in the clear sky in the distance, a majestic yellow-clawed eagle spread its wings.
The few kites standing on the shoulders of each kite guest seemed to have noticed something, and they suddenly screamed restlessly and anxiously, fluttering their wings and spreading their wings to fly.
All the kites also showed surprise on their faces. They quickly comforted their kites and looked up at the sky.
"Well, what a coincidence. Cao Cao will be here just as soon as he says that Cao Cao is here. This is the kite I trained, back from the mountains." Chen Ling pointed to the sky and smiled.
"Is this a kite? Is this an eagle?" The old gray kite looked at the sky with his mouth open.
Chen Ling said with absolute certainty: "It's a kite. It's just that the food is good and it's been raised a lot."
All the kite guests were suddenly speechless.
This young kite was not only a little bigger, it was more than twice the size of a normal kite. Didn’t you see how scared their kites were?
At this time, the villagers and the children also became excited, "Show them your wealth. Can't your kite do somersaults in the sky and dodge the gun? Now that it has flown back, show them your skills." "
When some young kite guests heard this, although their faces were not very good-looking, their eyes looked at Chen Ling with some expectation.
Chen Ling raised his head and whistled several times at the bald man.
Er Baldy immediately made corresponding actions.
Sometimes it rolled in the air, sometimes it fell suddenly, and when it was about to fall, it suddenly took off again.
Even under Chen Ling's command, he suddenly flew across the water of the reservoir and caught two fish.
At this time, Chen Ling said to a young kite guest again: "Borrow me a bow and arrow."
He took the bow in his hand and nocked an arrow, and screamed excitedly into the sky. He was already having fun. The two bald guys ejaculated.
The two bald men, under the gaze of the kites who changed their expressions, dodged the arrows one after another and picked them up one by one.
As if seeing a miracle, all the kite guests opened their eyes wide, subconsciously stroking the shoulders of the nervous and flustered kite and murmuring to himself, not knowing what to say for a long time.
It looked like he couldn’t understand it at all, but he was greatly shocked.
The villagers are used to it. Instead, they laugh at their shallow knowledge. They squint their eyes and say with disdain that they are so talented. A kite from a wealthy family can pick out the eyes of a wild boar. You haven't seen it.
Finally, the old man Gray Harrier solemnly gave Chen Ling a silver bell to express their admiration.
And said: "A kite like this would have been worth a hundred taels of gold in the past."
