Chapter 441 Flood Dragon
Chen Ling thought so, but he ignored that these fish of his own were rather wild.
Think about the small miscellaneous fish I caught when I was a kid. On rainy days, they would jump out of the water tank when it was half full of water.
These are ordinary fish. They will jump out randomly even if it rains heavily. The jump is also extremely high, let alone these fish that have been nourished by spiritual water.
Take out two chicken covers from the woodshed.
When they met Zhou Weijun and the others came out of the kitchen after breakfast.
Seeing Chen Ling holding this strange bamboo tool, he came over to him and asked, "Is this used for raising silkworms?"
"No, the one you are talking about is silkworms. A plaque is a round plaque made of bamboo strips or reeds. This is a chicken cover to cover the chickens. "
Speaking of chicken covers, most people may not know what they are. To put it bluntly, it is the countryside. For raising chickens.
This thing is made of woven bamboo strips. It looks a bit like a big bell in a temple, with an empty hole at the top.
After the hens bring their chicks home in the evening, they will be placed inside this thing and covered with heavy objects such as bricks or stone slabs to compact them firmly to prevent wild things from stealing the chicks.
Chen Ling’s family had never prepared this before.
Usually use baskets, water tanks, or cover them with a layer of wire mesh.
That is, Wang Lixian and Chen Dazhi saw that Chen Ling's usage was a bit too shabby. The old hens were nesting in the nest and they were isolated with water tanks. It was really... This is why Chen Ling dared to do this. Others said You might have to torment the chickens and ducks to death.
I brought Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan two chicken cages from the village for them to use.
"Ah? Are there any chickens running around when it rains?"
Zhou Weijun and the others were a little confused. They had seen the spectacular sight of chickens and ducks running back to their nests when it rained yesterday.
The good ones all fluttered their wings and flew directly down from the hillside. The chickens and ducks couldn't wait to get into their nests. Chicken feathers were flying everywhere.
On this rainy day, they are all hiding in their nests, showing no signs of running around.
“No, I want to catch fish in the front yard.”
Chen Ling smiled and briefly explained that the cage was too small to be inconspicuous when placed in the canal. When the fish in the water saw that their way was blocked, they jumped too high and refused to swim according to the original route. Drill into the beard cage.
If you want to find something larger than a whisk cage to collect fish, it is more secure to put a chicken cover on it.
Sure enough, when Chen Ling placed the chicken cover at the intersection of the two canals and the lotus pond, the effect was quickly revealed.
Even if there were fish that could jump high, there were only a few. Most of them jumped into the chicken cover and were trapped in it and couldn't get out.
It didn’t take long for most of the bucket of fish to be harvested.
During this period, two little guys, Yaya and Ruirui, disliked the few grass snails crawling into the house, so they carried small buckets and went to look for them in the grass outside.
After Wang Zhenzhen and his gang watched the silkworms spin silk for a while, they also went out to pick up grass snails.
This kind of grass snail is very common in the fields.
They like to eat crops and gnaw vegetable leaves... Strictly speaking, they can be considered a pest.
Once it rains, they will climb to high places to avoid the rain. They can be seen on tree trunks and tall grass blades.
When Chen Ling was a child, he once caught eight grass snails on a leaf in the corn field. They were all quite big. It was raining lightly at that time. They crawled in a bunch on the corn leaves. It was really a huge harvest. Xiao Chen Ling was excited for a long time and showed off to others.
I still remember it freshly now.
......
"What kind of snail is this? It's so big and its head is so scary."
After they caught fish in the yard, they followed suit. I went out to join in the fun and took a look outside. It was incredible. The fruit trees were covered with grass snails. They were densely packed. There could be twenty or thirty of them, some high and some low. They crawled in a bunch.
It doesn’t matter if the quantity is large.
The main reason is that it is too big.
The largest ones are almost as big as eggs.
And the bigger you climb, the higher you climb.
The little kids still have to hold bamboo poles and poke them down.
The snail clattered down, bringing raindrops on the leaves with it.
Ruirui giggled and picked up Yaya in the grass so enthusiastically that they didn’t care if they were covered in mud and water.
"Uncle Zhao, you are so stupid, these are just ordinary grass snails."
When Wang Zhenzhen saw two old men going to pick up snails with Ruirui, he curled his lips and looked at them They glanced at each other and said, "But these big ones are usually hidden from sight. They all run out when it rains."
"That's it, we have never seen them before."
The two old men said with a smile.
Zhou Weijun and the others were also surprised and picked up a few in their hands, observing curiously.
Chen Ling held such a big grass snail in his hand and looked at it, feeling a little dumbfounded. He had seen such a big grass snail before, but there would not be so many of them all at once.
It seems that regardless of their number or size, these snails are exposed to the light of the farm’s environment, which is extremely beneficial to their growth.
“Wow, there are more grass snails on this tree, I think there are a hundred.”
"Pig, you are really a pig. You are too old to know how to count. There are not even fifty of these, but there are only a hundred."
"Humph, if you can laugh at me, you can Don't compete with me... Huh? What's that? Wow, Uncle Fugui's fish are jumping around again. "
"There are fish on the wheat straw?" >
"I'll go, it's really there."
After hearing this, everyone hurried over to take a look, and saw that the wet wheat straw piles were full of fish of all sizes.
These wheat straw stacks were placed here after the wheat was harvested. Chen Ling originally wanted to make them look more beautiful, like a castle, and attract some birds to live in them.
Pheasants, wild ducks, water birds, etc. can also get in and lay eggs.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t do anything. After it rained, there were so many fish jumping up there.
This scene made everyone feel novel and excited. They rolled up their sleeves, didn’t even open their umbrellas, and circled around the wheat straw piles to look for fish.
Some are looking for fish, some are catching snails, adults and children are all in a hurry, bursts of laughter, and from time to time, the birds in the birdhouses on the trees will fly away, clattering. It was a lot of fun playing in the rain.
Lunch was no surprise. The main dish was fish prepared in various ways, including pan-fried, deep-fried, stewed...
I also made a pot of grass snails according to the method of field snails, and the taste was quite good.
I can’t go out on a rainy day, so I just sit at home and think about all kinds of food. This is also a rare enjoyment.
In addition to the original guests today, even the little boy Chen Ling did not let go.
The busy farm holiday is almost over, let’s give them a good meal to satisfy their cravings.
The adults also knew that Chen Ling was very good to children. No one came to call for help at noon. They felt at ease here. Besides, there were guests at home and it was raining, so they were too embarrassed to come and disturb him. ……
The rain stopped in the evening.
After the rain, the starry sky over the fields is particularly beautiful, but tonight is not a good time to watch the stars, because there is not a single star in the sky, and there is only a bright moon in the clear blue sky.
The big moon hangs brightly in the sky, and everything that the eyes can see is covered with a slight layer of silver frost. It feels like it is August 15th, the moon is shining brightly Yes, the trees on the roadside can cast shadows.
With a group of fat and powerful dogs, Chen Ling walked on the field path with his hands behind his back.
In the distance, you can still hear the laughter of three old men, Wang Cunye and Zhao Yubao. Zhao Yubao drank some wine today and became even more poetic. He chanted loudly: "What night is without moon? What night is without moon?" Bamboo and cypress? But there are few idle people like me."
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, go up the mountain, go up the mountain!"
" Wait a minute, the mountain roads are slippery after the rain. Let’s change our shoes first and take care of everything..."
Chen Ling smiled slightly when he heard this and signaled to Erhei and the others who were having fun on the field: " It’s time to go up the mountain, so come along.”
Erhei was stunned for a moment, then barked a few times and ran away with a group of little dogs.
As for Heiwa Xiaojin, he naturally looks after the farm and stays by Ruirui's side to help take care of the baby.
The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful.
The scenery under the moonlight is also extremely beautiful.
There are wheat fields in the fields where only a piece of wheat stubble is left after the wheat harvest, and there are also grass slopes covered with green grass and trees. The crystals on the grass blades are glowing in the moonlight, and there are frogs in the grass. It made bursts of screams in ups and downs.
If you stand on the slope and look out, the mountains and forests in the distance are shrouded in a hazy mist after the rain, and the bright moonlight shines into them, making it look like a dream.
Looking further south, the spacious river of Laohewan flows quietly and sparkling. Under the bright moonlight, each watermelon in the nearby melon field seems to be clearly visible, which makes people feel like It's like being in a dream.
Chen Ling came out alone because he wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to go to the reservoir to call Garlic out and sit on the back of the Garlic turtle for a parade.
Although Garlic has wisdom, like a baby, it needs someone to accompany it. If you don't look at it for a long time, it will lose its temper.
Zhou Weijun and the others were happy today. They accidentally drank too much and went to bed early.
It was a cool night after the rain, and no one from the villagers came out to hang out.
There were only three or two dogs barking in the village, which seemed extremely peaceful.
Chen Ling admired the countryside scenery under the moonlight all the way, and his emotions gradually relaxed, and he came to the edge of the reservoir unknowingly.
The stone turtle statue here seems to be covered with a layer of silvery gauze under the moonlight, mysterious and beautiful.
Chen Ling looked up and glanced twice, then came to the water's edge, stretched out his hand and patted the water gently.
Crash-
The water surface rolled, creating huge ripples. Huge mysterious creatures emerged from the water like black islands. This was a very shocking scene.
It’s a pity that no one saw it.
Chen Ling smiled slightly and waved to them.
I saw Garlic getting bigger and bigger, and his back getting wider and wider, approaching the shore quickly.
Chen Ling could even see its glowing eyes, full of excitement and intimacy.
Chen Ling stepped onto its broad back, touched its head and said, "Good job Garlic. Let's go to Jinshui River first. I'll take you out for a fun trip today."
Garlic was even more excited. He turned around and swayed through the waves, carrying Chen Ling and swimming towards the depths of the reservoir. Behind him, he led a silent army of old turtles. Under the moonlight, they matched the ripples on the water. , as if the myth reappeared.
After a while, there was a cry in the sky, and a sacred yellow-clawed hawk flew above Chen Ling's head in the night wind.
It made him feel happy for a while, and he was very high-spirited.
"What kind of dog king? If you have to say king, I must be the king of beasts. Whoever calls me dog king in the future will have to hit the glass of his house with a slingshot."
This night, Chen overtook the old turtle. Walking along the water, from the reservoir to the Jinshui River, from the Jinshui River south to the Nansha River, and then from the Nansha River to the Yaba River and Yaba Lake...
Erbald, an eagle with night vision, also accompanied him all the way. .
It was a really fun time.
He could not help but dream of swimming in the Yangtze River and surfing the waves in the sea.
But this sweet dream is not over yet...
Just as they returned the same way and reached the reservoir, Suantou suddenly paused, and her husband Turtle behind them also stopped and looked nervously. ahead.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ling was awakened from his beautiful fantasy and looked at Suan Tou in confusion.
After seeing the abnormality of Garlic and the others, they also looked around.
The next moment, there was a sudden loud sound on the wide water surface thirty or forty meters away.
A huge and terrifying whirlpool appeared.
A green and black back seems to be wearing hard armor, and there is a long serrated dorsal fin in the center of the back. It is like the back of a dragon. When it appears, it is simply shocking.
Chen Ling was also shocked when he saw this scene.
Fortunately, he came to his senses quickly. He knew that this was not the dragon's back, and there would be no dragon under the water.
This thing is still an old enemy I met before.
I don’t know whether it was a sturgeon or a catfish that came here unexpectedly and grew quietly, until it grew to such a huge and even terrifying size.
Needless to say it must have lived here before Garlic.
He put the garlic and the others in the reservoir to live, and now they occupy part of its territory. They are real uninvited guests to it.
“Damn, this old enemy has grown a lot since we haven’t seen each other for a year. I remember he wasn’t so vicious last year.”
Chen Ling stood up from Turtle's back, staring at the wonderful scene in front of him, and his fists were clenched tightly subconsciously.
It is rare to encounter such a big fish again.
I really don’t want to accept it.
And since he has a treasure like Dongtian, how can he miss it?
He was already thinking about how to bring this big guy into the cave and train it properly.
But at this moment, the waves on the water surface rose again, and there was a roar, and the water surface shook and stirred up. It was so violent that it overturned several fishing boats. It was completely trivial.
After this movement, within sight, the strange fish disappeared from the water surface, but there was an undercurrent surging violently under the water, stirring and rolling, like rolling thunder, with astonishing momentum.
Needless to say more about this scene, it must be coming straight towards them.
