Chapter 442 Ju Jiu
Chen Ling could even see a huge black shadow approaching quickly under the water, violently rolling up streams of water, like a big shark crashing fiercely from the water. .
The ferocity of the momentum scared Chen Ling so much that his expression changed.
“Damn it, I haven’t seen you for a year, has it become so fierce?”
He even felt that when he first saw this strange fish, it was about six or seven meters tall. A year later, it reached the point of nearly ten meters, and its body was thicker than a bucket.
As the saying goes: A strong body is worth its weight in gold.
A strange fish of such huge size and so powerful is still in the waters it is familiar with.
If this strange fish were to hit it, a steamboat would be knocked over by it, let alone a human being.
So in the face of such a ferocious oncoming force, Chen Ling didn't dare to worry even if he had the cave in front of him.
The current situation.
It was like encountering a ferocious tiger pouncing on him in the mountains.
That guy is not on the same level as wild boars, wild wolves, leopards, etc.
When Chen Ling encountered a herd of wild boars in the mountains, he dared to drive them away, rush into the wild boars, and collect them into the cave.
But when you meet a tiger, you can't do it like a wild boar.
How fierce is the tiger?
Simply put.
Breaking out a car tire with one bite and smashing the tempered glass with a slap is a piece of cake for an adult tiger...
This is still a normal state, not an angry and violent state.
And this strange fish is much bigger than the tiger.
A behemoth nearly ten meters tall.
Not only is it bigger, but it's also on the water, and people's reactions are different from those on the ground.
The psychological pressure it brings to people is greater than encountering a tiger in the mountains.
Chen Ling was even afraid that it would hurt the garlic head if it hit him so violently.
So in the blink of an eye, he took the garlic and entered the cave together with the man and the turtle.
As for the other husband Turtle, time is urgent and he cannot take care of it for the time being.
It's too late, it's fast.
Just after Chen Ling and the turtle hid in the cave, the next moment a ferocious and huge strange fish rushed out from the water, making countless splashes.
This strange fish is covered in blue-black hard bone armor, and on its back is a long, spike-like bony fin, like a dagger, extending from the back of the head to the tail fin.
In addition to the eye-catching bony dorsal fin in the middle of the back, there are two shallow bony small fins on both sides.
It looks like an ancient creature like a dinosaur.
It has a strange appearance and exudes an extremely primitive and ancient atmosphere.
But if ordinary people who don’t know about dinosaurs and other ancient creatures see it, they will definitely be regarded as a big water monster without any discussion.
At this time, it rushed out of the water, and the target at its original position suddenly disappeared. It was stunned for a moment in confusion, and then became more manic, shaking its head and tail, stirring up a larger vortex in the water.
Shoot directly at the big male turtle staying in the same place.
In a matter of seconds, these male turtles were killed and maimed, and they fled in all directions.
...
Chen Ling counted the time and waited for about half a minute. When he and Guan Tou came out of the cave again, they saw scarlet blood rippling around them.
"As expected, they have become more and more ferocious. We could still go back and forth when we met before, but this time the male turtles are no match at all."
But fortunately, the back armor of the male turtles is also good. It is very thick and hard. After Garlic leaves, they run away very quickly, and some of them can run in any direction. Although some of them are seriously injured, there is no danger to their lives.
While Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief, he stepped on Guan Tou's back, holding the semi-automatic spear that Shan Mao brought him, and a machete on his waist, looking around for traces of the strange fish and preparing for the attack.
I want to use the cave sky to find an opportunity to attack it by surprise.
However, after waiting and waiting, I found all the big male turtles and took them back to the cave, but there was no trace of the strange fish.
It comes suddenly and violently, and goes away quietly.
Helpless, Chen Ling secretly guessed: "The last time I encountered this strange fish, it seems that it was when I was driving Garlic to swim around in the nearby river.
Is it because I brought the strange fish with me? Are they so angry because they passed by here and broke into its territory?”
Think about it, it's really possible. Even eels have egg-protecting behavior. This kind of creature that has lived for decades is definitely not easy to mess with.
Despite this, it seems to be very cautious and cautious in being able to live for such a long time.
It seems that it is satisfied with driving uninvited guests out of its territory, and does not necessarily have to kill those who intrude into its territory.
If you think about it this way, it’s quite contradictory.
“It’s only three things. How can I let it hit and run like this twice? It seems that I have to be fully prepared next time...”
"Well, you can make a big strong net."
"When it appears, lure it into the net. As long as the net can hold it for a few seconds, I can catch it with the fish." Put the net together into the cave."
Chen Ling thought for a while and realized that this method was indeed feasible, so he kept the preparation of the big net in mind and asked Guan Tou to put it on the east bank of the reservoir. It was simple and easy. Treated the injured male turtle.
He took the two bald men who had been following him around in the sky and rushed back to the farm.
……
After the rain stopped, it didn't rain again the next day and the weather was fine.
"Although this rain has all kinds of disadvantages, at least it can make people sleep well.
As soon as the rain stopped, the bird kept singing from night to morning,' It was so noisy that it made people unable to sleep even if they wanted to."
In the morning, a disheveled Wang Siyi came to the kitchen with a yawn.
Wang Susu was feeding Ruirui steamed eggs, raised her head and smiled at her: "Those are rails. At this time, they will crow non-stop, from day to night, without stopping for a moment. ”
"Ah? Aren't they tired from barking?"
Wang Siyi sat down on the side of the kitchen door, combing her hair and watching the family of three eating.
Chen Ling gnawed on the steamed buns with pickles and said with a smile: "Frogs also cry day and night. Do you think frogs are tired?"
Wang Siyi was stunned when he heard this. It seemed like they were all shouting "gu quack, gu quack". Then he said: "You shouldn't be tired, right?"
"Well, it's true that I'm not tired. Do you know why not?"
"Uh, I don't know, why is this?"
"Because, after it rains, frogs will pair up. Those who lay eggs are not just chirping idle, they are courting and looking for a suitable partner to mate. The same is true for the rails, so they are chirping non-stop.”
This was actually a very common thing to say, but Wang Susu felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say it in front of a young girl like Wang Siyi.
Then he whispered in a low voice: "Aling, you are really, Siyi is a girl, why do you tell others about everything."
Wang Siyi's character is inherently carefree, and the atmosphere in the Bay Island is much more open than in the mainland at that time. Couples kissing in the street are not uncommon, but in the mainland at this time, you would be shocked if you saw her.
So she didn't think it was anything, and quickly waved her hand and said: "It's okay, sister-in-law, Brother Ling is actually quite serious, otherwise I wouldn't know why they keep barking so much."
"Hey, Siyiyi is right, this is really serious. Before I could say the really serious part in the second half, your sister-in-law interrupted me."
Little Chen Lingchong The wife raised her eyebrows.
Wang Susu curled her lips and hit him with her hands. Ruirui also followed suit, laughing, and followed her mother's hand to hit him.
"You two are bullying people, right? Do you want me to be serious?"
"You tell me, I can see whether it is serious or not."
The way the two of them were bickering made me laugh. Wang Siyi felt envious and looked forward to what Chen Ling would say next.
"Ahem..."
Chen Ling cleared her throat and asked: "Siyi, have you learned 'Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, on the River Island' in Wandao?"
"Have you ever studied Chinese culture? How could you miss the Book of Songs?"
"Actually, this Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, as for the Jiu Jiu inside, is about the courtship of a crake, which is compared to the courtship of a man and a woman. Do you think Think about it, doesn’t the next sentence say ‘a fair lady, a gentleman is a good man’?”
Wang Siyi was stunned for a moment by this statement.
"Huh? No, isn't it? This dove is actually a rail? I remember when I was learning, it didn't seem to be a rail, it was some kind of water bird. I also forgot."< br>
Wang Susu also looked at him with confusion, wondering if her husband was deliberately fooling people.
Chen Ling smiled at them: "Actually, most of the various things in ancient texts are all based on guesswork. If I personally think it is reasonable and consistent, then that's fine. In many cases, there is no fixed statement."
"For example, Guan Guan Ju Dove, why do I say that this Ju Dove is a rail? One is their courtship behavior, which corresponds to the poem, and the other is their cry. You listen to their cry, '咣咣咣壣' ', '咣咣咣' is so loud, the "咣咣咣" cry of the rail is the "Guan Guan" in the poem.
Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou, isn't it? The crocs calling each other on the river beach mean that men and women are pursuing love."
"Ah! They really can match each other!"
< br>Wang Siyi was stunned when she heard it. After recalling those verses, she gradually realized that they were the same as what Chen Ling said.
Then he was very surprised and stared at Chen Ling's face carefully for a long time before saying: "No wonder Teacher Zhao Yubao wants to accept you as his apprentice and godson again. Brother Ling, you know so much. The knowledge is definitely very deep, it is really a pity to stay in the ravine."
The young couple Chen Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Nothing else, it’s just that they have heard this too much.
"By the way, sister-in-law, having said that, I'm curious, if the rails crow like that, won't it affect you at all when you rest at night?"
Wang Susu smiled and said: "Let's sleep It’s relatively heavy, and you, Brother Ling, never dream and can fall asleep as soon as you touch the pillow.”
"Wow, I'm so envious."
Wang Siyi widened her beautiful almond eyes, "Is Ruirui like this too?"
Chen Ling pouted: "He must be the same, stinky The boy was tired from playing during the day and even wet the bed at night without waking up. "
He and Wang Susu have been nourished by the spiritual water for a long time and can easily fall into deep sleep.
“But compared to frogs, rails are really noisy... After dinner, ask your sister-in-law to make some medicinal tea for you, or I’ll prepare it for you when you go to bed at night. Order medicinal wine and take a sip to sleep well and keep in good health.”
"Okay, okay, I've heard from Teacher Zhao Yubao and others a long time ago that your medicinal wine and my sister-in-law's medicine shop are very famous."
Wang Siyi's eyes lit up and she looked forward to it.
"Let your sister-in-law and you eat here first. I'll call Lao Zhou and the others to come over for dinner."
Chen Ling hugged her son and walked out, so that Wang Susu wouldn't have to worry about this. Brat, every time he finishes eating, he can only eat by himself.
Zhou Weijun and Ding Haidong are rushing back today.
The main reason is that Ding Haidong can't delay any longer.
After breakfast, he left in a hurry. Ding Haidong hugged Chen Ling before leaving. He was very reluctant to leave and said that if he couldn't make it to the tiger fight scene, he would come over after the scene was finished.
After Chen Ling saw them off, he took his son to the thatched house of two old men in the village and played for a while.
Zhao Dahai and Shanmao returned to the city before it rained.
The remaining two elderly families stayed in the village and lived their pastoral life with great interest.
This morning the brigade's loudspeaker shouted several times, saying that construction was about to start here to widen the ditch outside the village and dig a river connecting the big weir pond.
If there are young people at home who are idle, they can go to work.
Professor Zhao Da gave everyone wages.
Now that the wheat harvest is over, the remaining work is nothing more than rolling, threshing, drying, etc.
If you work for half a day every day, you can also go to Zhao Yubao for half a day.
Besides, the weather was hot, so most of the construction work was done in the morning and afternoon when it was cooler. Since we were working in the village anyway, it was convenient to do anything. Most of the families went there, including the women.
Everyone wants to make extra money.
But Zhao Yubao is quite satisfied.
With more people, we are more powerful, and we can work faster.
The old man became interested and personally took command. He said how wide the river would be dug, where a bridge would be built, where fish ponds would be used to raise fish and lotus flowers, and so on.
No matter how much you ask for, it's not too much. If you're paid, everyone will do it. Wang Lixian's ability to do this is more generous.
Chen Ling wandered around for a while, and later Wang Cunye drove his cattle and sheep to join in the fun nearby. He handed his son over to the old man and returned home to try to build a big net.
Waiting to use it against that strange fish.
