Chapter 388 The joy of farm work
As soon as Chen Jiang finished speaking, the two donkeys slapped their thighs: "Oh, my little Chao is still in the mountains. He came back the day before yesterday and followed him again yesterday."
"Your Xiaochao? What did he do in the mountains?"
"He went to work as a guide for others. He, the two children from the Guoxing and Guowang families, and a few young people in the village, Didn't they say that as long as they are familiar with the mountain roads, they will be paid to guide them in the mountains, and hire them for several days..."
The two donkeys became more and more anxious as they talked, and they were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"Don't worry, Brother Donkey. They all have guns. Besides, there are old hunters from Kinmen Village following them. It's okay to encounter wolves. We can handle them."
Chen Ling glanced at the direction of the mountain. , thinking that if Li Hongqi and his gang were going to the Miasma Valley, they definitely don't have to worry. The terrain there is not suitable for wolves to fight, and there is no advantage to them.
He said: "According to our previous experience of going into the mountains, it gets dark early in the mountains. We have already had dinner by this time. We must not be wandering around in the woods, so there is no need to worry."
Chen Ling's words made Ermao feel relieved.
Just when I breathed a sigh of relief, I heard waves of wolf howls blasting in my ears.
"Ouch~Oow~~Ooo——"
The sound is very close at hand.
Hearing the howl of a wolf at such a close distance makes one’s scalp explode and the hairs all over the body stand on end.
This is really scary.
There were two timid out-of-town girls who were so frightened that they almost fell into the ditch.
In Chen Ling's orchard, birds flew away in fright, and small animals hiding in the dark fled in panic.
Everyone suppressed their fear and went to watch, and then they noticed that the howling of wolves nearby came from the orchard.
There were groups of black shadows there, raising their necks and howling.
"Aling, it's our dog that's barking."
Wang Susu, her face a little pale, grabbed Chen Ling's arm and whispered.
It was indeed the family dog that was barking.
It was dark and ordinary people could not see clearly, but Chen Ling could see that Heiwa Xiaojin was leading a group of little dogs facing a certain direction in the mountains, letting out long and long howls.
The howls of wolves in and out of the mountains complement each other, and the sounds rise and fall, making people feel terrified.
It seems like confronting and communicating with the wolves in the mountains.
"Fugui, you, your dog, why is it called like this..."
The faces of the villagers were extremely ugly. They were frightened by the sudden howling of wolves just now.
People living in the mountains know best the consequences of letting wolves get close to them.
The wolf howling so close just now really frightened them.
"I don't know what's going on with them."
Chen Ling smiled apologetically at everyone, and then scolded everyone while striding into the orchard.
"What are you barking at in the middle of the night? Can you afford to pay for scaring people?"
"Stop barking now, we will attract the wolf soon."
As soon as I saw Chen Ling Come over, these guys immediately stopped shouting and came forward with their heads and tails wagging.
The howling of wolves in the deep mountains gradually became smaller and stopped until it could no longer be heard.
After a while, after everyone left, the two actresses living in the farm followed Chen Ling's family back, still confused and scared, fearing that all the Chen Ling's dogs would turn into wolves in the next moment and pounce on them. Cannibalism.
After Gao Xiulan returned, she also asked Wang Cunye what was going on.
“It’s nothing. The dogs at home bark like that, and those puppies are brought back from the wolf den. What’s wrong with barking twice? Is this worth making a fuss about?”
Wang Cunye drank tea with a matter-of-fact expression.
No wonder he didn't even come out to take a look.
But what the old man said was exactly what Chen Ling was thinking.
Your dog's reaction is nothing to be alarmed about.
“That’s right, if we can get them to bark together, it’s probably because Erhei’s brothers and sisters have grown up.”
“How about taking time to go to the mountains another day to let them meet? ”
The more Chen Ling thought about it, the more excited he became.
Looking back, it has been four months since I last went to the wolf den to feed.
He doesn't have many cubs left in the wolf den. If there is enough food, they will definitely not die young. They will definitely grow into big wolves now.
The more I think about it, the more impatient I become.
I packed my things immediately and prepared to take the dog to the mountains tomorrow. Anyway, the tourists have dispersed recently and there is nothing to be busy with at home.
But unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. It started raining in the middle of the night that night, and it rained all day.
Many villagers are still thinking that there will be another earth dragon in the village this time, imagining that they can attract some tourists again and restore the lively scene before.
This time it was all in vain.
Since it’s raining, no one else is coming.
......
"Brother Chen, it rained all day yesterday. Will our little bird get caught in the rain and freeze?"
"No, the chicken coop is tight, dry and warm, and the rain can't get in."
In the early morning after the rain stopped, the two actresses hurried out to feed the chickens without even bothering to eat breakfast. Bird.
When the chick first hatches, it cannot open its eyes, nor can it stand up and walk.
Even if the old hen can hatch eggs, she will not be able to take care of the young birds so meticulously, let alone feed the young birds.
Because the chicks can run on the ground very quickly after breaking out of their shells, it takes ten minutes less but half an hour more, so the old hen doesn’t have to worry about it.
Just take a group of chickens out to look for food, which is very worry-free.
It’s so troublesome to feed these baby birds into their mouths.
This is also the reason why the two actresses were worried about leaving.
I was afraid that the bird they finally hatched would starve to death.
In addition, the young birds that Yu Qi'an did not take away were also entrusted to their care, so they were in high spirits every day. They went over to open the beaks of the young birds one by one and feed them, even more actively than Wang Zhenzhen.
If they weren't worried that the baby birds would die if they took them away rashly, they would have brought several baby birds into the house to raise them.
"Wow, open your eyes, open your eyes."
The Chen Ling family had a good meal. As soon as they walked out with their forks, they heard two people yelling.
It turns out that the baby bird opened its eyes.
“Come on, the little bird has opened its eyes.”
"Come on, come on."
Wang Zhenzhen still wanted to wait for the little crow and the little cuckoo to fight when they grew up. When he heard the little bird open its eyes, he hurried over.
Chen Ling and others continued walking towards the vegetable garden.
After the rain, the sweet potatoes need to be plowed, and the eggplants need to be watered again.
There is no rush to turn over the sweet potatoes.
Eggplant can't wait too long to chase water.
There are really a lot of eggplants planted this year. When they arrived at the vegetable garden, without saying anything, the family hurriedly watered the eggplants when the sun had just risen and was not high.
After working for a while, Wang Zhenzhen and her two big friends over there in the chicken coop had enough fun and ran over to join in the fun.
"Zhenzhen, go home and pick up a bucket of plant ashes, and come here to kill the aphids."
Seeing his little daughter running over, Wang Cunye ordered unceremoniously.
"I know, I'll go right away."
Wang Zhenzhen likes to do this kind of thing the most. When he heard that he was using plant ash to kill insects, he turned around and ran away.
The remaining two actresses came over in confusion: "Brother Chen, Uncle Wang. Didn't it just rain yesterday? Why are you watering the vegetables again?"
< br>"Not all vegetables need watering, that is, eggplant is different from others. It needs to be watered again after it rains, otherwise it will be impossible..."
Chen Ling raised his head and smiled, then lowered his head. Continue the watering work: "Eggplants are afraid of rain. When it clears up after the rain, the sun shines down and the steaming heat is the most damaging to the fruit. If you don't water them, each eggplant will look like it has yellow spot disease. It rotted piece by piece
So when the sun has not risen, or when the sun is not strong right now, we have to rush to the vegetable field and chase for water. This is safe. ”
Ladle after ladle of water is poured on the moist eggplant root soil. At this time, more water will not drown it, but it can protect and prevent diseases.
< br>Soon, Wang Zhenzhen brought over a bucket of plant ash.
Taking advantage of the heavy dew in the morning after the rain, he sprinkled the plant ash on the aphids in the vegetable field. The aphids and the mud immediately bonded together and were unable to move. , just stay there and be turned into dust by the sun.
There is no need for pesticides at all.
The two actresses had never seen anything like this before, and it was an eye-opener. They rushed to help Wang Zhenzhen work.
