Chapter 390: Things in the Evil Gate Mountain
Speaking of looking for wild duck eggs, although there are many water birds here on the farm, there are really no wild ducks making their homes and nests nearby.
This thing also likes places with wide water surfaces, such as Laohe Bend and reservoirs, which are their first choice for nesting and gathering.
Although the water quality and environment at the farm are good, they often come here, but only for fun and rest.
Maybe it is too close to where people live, and they have never thought of settling here.
Those pheasants, on the other hand, have been staying longer and longer among their own flocks recently.
Chen Ling was worried that they would run away, so he just watched them from a distance and never got too close.
So until now, I don’t know if they are laying eggs nearby.
But when I saw my chickens, ducklings, and goslings breaking out of their shells one after another, they were already running around. There was still no movement behind the pheasants, and they didn’t follow the little ones, which showed that I had high expectations. Failed.
But this afternoon, when he had just finished teasing his son and was about to go to Laohewan to look for wild duck eggs, he was walking on the bluestone path in the orchard when he suddenly heard a long "gurgling, gurgling" sound. The cries of pheasants came from the direction of the hillside.
He immediately stopped and looked around.
This is incredible.
There was a strange and beautiful pheasant dragging it among the group of pheasants, surrounding a big yellow hen, circling back and forth, shaking its comb and tail, and clucking. Seeking mate.
The reason why this pheasant looks strange is because its tail feathers are extremely long, even about one meter long, and the feathers all over the body are also brighter than those of a pheasant.
“Good guys, the long-tailed pheasant has also been attracted. Is my chicken lure so charming?”
Chen Ling opened his mouth slightly, not expecting this scene to happen.
But then I thought about it, I’m afraid it wasn’t caused by a chicken lure.
This long-tailed pheasant is obviously here for our own hens.
There are many pheasants in the Qinling Mountains.
There are many kinds of pheasants and pheasants here, and they often run down the mountain.
So people are not surprised.
It’s a bit surprising that this long-tailed pheasant went to court the old hen in his own chicken flock.
"It's his grandma's. Is it possible that this pheasant still wants to be paired with my hen? It can't lay eggs, so it's a waste of effort."
Chen Ling couldn't laugh or cry, and then thought: " Regardless of whether it can lay eggs or not, and regardless of whether the long-tailed pheasant was attracted by a chicken lure, there is no harm in finding some wild duck eggs early and using the hatched ducklings as duck lures for me in the future."
Thinking of this, Chen Ling took the horse, called Xiao Jin, and headed to Laohewan together.
He had to rely on Xiaojin to find prey, and Heiwa was not bad at all, but he liked to play tricks on Ruirui all day long, so Chen Ling was too lazy to call him out.
Xiao Jin takes action, and naturally he will not return empty-handed.
In this afternoon, Chen Ling found seven or eight wild duck eggs on the river beach. He took three or four eggs from each nest, which was quite a lot.
After bringing it back, as usual, we found a hen to hatch the eggs.
There is no need to worry about this.
Simply, he took the dog to the mountain and went to the mountain lake to see the situation of the two earth dragons. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he didn't know where they went.
There were no signs of them digging holes and nesting on the shore.
I took Xiaojin on the boat to search again, but still couldn’t see any traces, so I had to give up in the end.
His original intention was to throw it into the cave when no one was around, but he didn't know that it rained yesterday and he couldn't come here, so he couldn't find it today.
We can only come back to see what's going on in the future. Given the environment here, there shouldn't be any problems.
...
Two days passed quietly, and the heat in Chenwangzhuang really subsided a lot.
Coupled with the busy farming period, few people came to the reservoir.
Business can no longer be done, and the villagers cannot bear to lose.
Just because they are now busy with farming, it is time to sell the ornamental fish, and they have received the deposit in advance. They are more confident and motivated than anyone else. This is already the second trip for the little sheep.
Because farmers have a lot of fish, they usually put it together in a cart, but they are still working in full swing.
As for Chen Ling, he has not had time to get involved in this matter in the past two days. He is helping Zhao Dahai carry telegraph poles up the mountain.
With his help, things will get twice the result with half the effort, and things that were once difficult will become easier.
After working for two consecutive days, carrying telegraph poles to the surrounding hills, although Chen Ling did not feel tired due to his physical condition, it was still a real effort.
When I came back this evening, I was thinking about treating myself to some hard dishes.
Zhao Dahai didn't say anything, drove to the county town and bought a lot of things, letting him go and do it.
When Chen Ling took a look at the ingredients, he saw a mess of meats, eggs, and various dishes. So why not just have a barbecue and eat it. Later, add some fruit wine and just have the barbecue. It would be beautiful. Na.
“Good guy, I’m salivating after I tell you this. I’ll quickly cut some bamboo sticks for you.”
Zhao Dahai put it on the shelf near the fire pit near the kitchen. The iron grate then wiped the corners of his mouth exaggeratedly, snorted twice, and couldn't wait to cut the bamboo sticks for Chen Ling.
Chen Ling raised his head and smiled, continuing to cut meat and peel fish.
In this season, there are not many vegetables here, only a few kinds, and there is no shortage of meat and eggs.
Fortunately, people at this time did not care too much about vegetables. If they had enough meat to eat, they would be very happy and satisfied.
Zhao Dahai is a meat lover, and he also knows that the barbecue made by Chen Ling is delicious, but it is not full, and there are many people eating it.
So I bought a lot of pork and mutton.
Chen Ling followed Chen Ling's advice for the rest, using chicken legs, chicken wings and freshly caught live fish.
In the evening, everyone had a great feast. Many people had only eaten mutton skewers and had never eaten such a rich barbecue. They all felt that this meal was a feast for the mouth.
After having a good time eating and drinking, when the show was over, Zhao Dahai discussed with Chen Ling, saying that they had moved almost all the telegraph poles that should be moved to the mountain, and the remaining work was to set up wires and the like. , it needs to be done slowly, there is no need to rush.
So they should also prepare to go to the city to attend the Bobcat wedding.
With his and Chen Ling's relationship with the Bobcats, it was necessary to arrive two or three days in advance.
It's better to go early to help out and take care of some chores.
This is true whether in the city or in the countryside. Chen Ling had also calculated the time early, otherwise he would not have asked the little sheep about the road conditions.
That night, the two agreed to set off the day after tomorrow.
Lynx is getting married in seven days.
If they go there in advance, Chen Ling can take his wife and children to see their new home in the city and play around. Zhao Dahai himself can also go home beforehand and rest for two days.
Then go help the Bobcats, so you have plenty of time.
But unexpectedly, before Chen Ling could pack his things the next day, Chen Baoshuan came over to report the news.
It is said that something terrible happened in the mountains. Something happened to the young boys from the village who were working as guides in the mountains. I don’t know whether they made Grandpa Land unhappy or attracted old monsters from the mountains.
They are in bad luck.
Er Mao Donkey’s youngest son broke his leg.
The group of outsiders who entered the mountain were all injured. Early this morning, at dawn, they were carried down from the Western Mountain.
"Old monster? What kind of old monster could there be? Was he running around in the mountains and getting hurt by wild things?"
Chen Ling glanced at him and sneered.
He remembered the howling of wolves a few days ago. The noise was quite big.
“Hey, it wasn’t a wild thing that hurt me. Liu Guangli from Kinmen Village didn’t say a word and didn’t want to say more.
No matter who asked, no one would answer. This must be the cause of something evil. ”
Chen Baoshuan waved his hands repeatedly with a serious look on his face.
