Chapter 452 Abundance
Chen Ling returned to his home in the village. He first looked at which medicinal materials were in short supply, then found a hoe with a basket of medicines from the woodshed, picked up the shotgun, called the dog and went out. Went to Nanshan to collect herbs.
The families in Beishan and Xishan were worried about him going there. There were jackals and all kinds of wild beasts. Those thieves had been in trouble twice, and the brave ones didn't dare to go deep into the mountains.
When villagers go to the mountains recently, they also go to the outskirts, or to Nanshan.
However, when Chen Ling went to Nanshan, he did not leave the village directly as usual. Instead, he followed the newly dug river outside the village and swayed slowly in a circle.
The small river winds and twists and turns from the east of the village.
The villagers who went home to eat after ordering Baogu, some were washing vegetables by the river, and some were washing dishes after dinner.
Seeing Chen Ling walking around with his dog in a bamboo basket, they all smiled and said hello. At the same time, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts how leisurely this kid was.
Other people think that Chen Ling is busy, but in fact, for more than a month recently, Chen Ling has not really had any leisure time.
First the Water Margin crew came, and then Zhao Yubao and his family came over early to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Anyway, there were all kinds of people coming to visit.
Although everyone comes here mainly to eat, drink and have fun, when there is any work to be done at home, they also sincerely help out.
Whether it’s a small water tower, selling fish, harvesting wheat, etc., it all helps a lot.
But in the end the visitor is a guest.
You still have to entertain yourself at home.
Relatives and friends are here, and it’s fun to get together with them.
Play alone and have fun playing alone.
I have been having fun with my friends every day for a long time.
Of course I also want to go out and play alone.
“Time flies so fast, the second nest of wild ducks have all left their nests.”
The river outside the village has only been open for less than half a month, and there are already wild ducks with groups of young ones. Wild ducks were swimming back and forth on the river.
Walking all the way towards Nanshan, Laohewan is even more lively.
Not only wild ducks, but also waterbirds such as rails and their fluffy chicks were calling in the reeds.
Seeing this, Chen Ling thought that it was also the peak spawning season for the old turtles, and was about to walk around the beach to see if there were any traces left by the old turtles.
Accidentally, I kicked over two stones on the river beach and found a few crabs huddled together to hide in the shade.
Chen Ling was surprised and wanted to catch it.
As a result, Heiwa and Heiwa couldn't wait to scream.
In the past few days, the family has been busy with farm work, and Heiwa Xiaojin has been around Ruirui all day long, helping to take care of the baby.
I haven’t been out to play in a long time.
As soon as I approached the mountain forest, I was immediately excited. I yelled "woof, woof, woof" and ran up the mountain road.
Chen Ling shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, let's go to the mountains first and wait until we get back to the crabs."
So he followed the two dogs up the mountain.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in the mountains. As soon as I stepped into the forest, I heard the clear and melodious chirping of birds and felt the rich greenery.
It was even better than in spring. People also need to feel comfortable in the mountains.
The sound of cicadas chirping and the refreshing breeze are intoxicating.
The chirping of various insects and birds, and the melodious “ding-ding-dong-dong” of mountain springs.
Suddenly, I don’t know which direction I heard, but I heard several soft barking sounds of dogs. They were quite far away, and I don’t know whether they were one or two hills away in the depths of the forest.
After hearing the barking, the two dogs immediately pricked up their ears, sniffed with their noses raised to the sky, stared in a certain direction, and began to growl.
"Huh? That red-haired muntjac came running up Nanshan Mountain?"
When Chen Ling heard the strange cry, he immediately knew what it was.
The barking deer.
"It seems that the jackals and wolves from Beishan and Xishan have forced them here."
Looking at the two restless dogs: "Okay, wait a little longer, it will be stable for two months." , this thing is also breeding season now, it’s not time for us to go hunting yet..."
The two dogs immediately stopped looking in that direction and started running around in the forest.
Sometimes they are digging holes, sometimes they are peeing, and sometimes they are digging into the dense wild vines, picking out rotten little beasts with only bones left in their mouths, and snatching them from each other. You chase me, and they keep shuttling through the forest.
They were having fun, and Chen Ling took the medicine hoe and slowly picked the medicine.
There are a lot more medicinal herbs in Nanshan this year than in previous years.
But it can’t compare to Beishan and Xishan.
So while digging for herbs, I climbed over two ridges without realizing it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked down the ridge, I saw a few shadows moving slightly in the forest on the other side of the river.
The eyes of the two Hei babies immediately shone, and their ears and tails stood up immediately.
If Chen Ling hadn't warned them that it wasn't hunting season, they would have lowered their bodies and lurked quietly.
“I’ll go, the sika deer herd!”
Chen Ling’s eyes instantly went straight, because it’s really hard to see sika deer in the surrounding mountains and forests.
Unless you eat less in winter.
The appearance of barking deer and sika deer herds now proves that the number of these wild animals will definitely not be small this year.
The number of wild animals increased.
Correspondingly, uncommon beasts such as jackals and leopards will also come.
“Okay, okay, it’s unreasonable not to catch two female leopards in autumn this year.”
Thinking of this, Chen Ling couldn’t help but beam with joy.
I saw seven or eight doe deer walking out of the forest and cautiously approaching the water.
There were actually a few cute little sika deers following behind.
This herd has more than ten deer, so it is definitely not small.
Chen Ling had the urge to capture them all into the cave and let them continue to expand in size.
After thinking about it, I didn’t do it after all.
But looking at those little sika deers poking their heads, he couldn't hold back his mischievous spirit. He stood up and slapped his hands, while yelling, scaring a group of large and small sika deers. He screamed "Yo yo" and ran away quickly.
Chen Ling laughed happily when he saw this.
The two dogs also barked and rushed down the hillside and across the river. They chased him for a distance, and then ran back wet and excitedly wagging their tails at Chen Ling.
Obviously, they also like this kind of wild play.
“Let’s go for a walk and blast into the woods to see what else comes out.”
“If we can really scare a leopard out, we’ll catch it on the spot. ." Chen Ling laughed, put the basket, medicine hoe and other things into the cave, and led them into the forest with strides.
One person and two dogs ran and roared, scaring all kinds of birds and animals to run and jump around.
After all this tossing, a lot of unexpected things really came out.
For example, a fox.
There were really few of these in the past.
Except for the few near his home, Chen Ling had never seen any traces of other foxes.
After climbing two mountains this time, we saw no less than four fox burrows from riverside, stone ditch and other places.
It’s really surprising and happy.
Chen Ling even encountered a female badger carrying a baby badger in her mouth.
I was frightened by him with two dogs, so I left the little badger and ran away.
Chen Ling saw that the little badger must have been weaned due to its size, so he took it into the cave and left it alone.
Then I went to the badger's lair to look for it, and took out the remaining little badger, and the two of them stayed together in the cave.
Otherwise, if one is thrown away and smells like a human being, the female badger will no longer accept it.
It is not good to let other beasts eat it.
It’s better to throw it into the cave.
...
In short, there are many kinds of birds and animals in the mountains today, and the types of vegetation seem to have increased a lot.
Wild orchids, wild apples... Chen Ling also saw several wild watermelons.
He dug up a plant and threw it into the cave, planning to take it out and breed it in his spare time.
With such a surprising harvest, Chen Ling was filled with joy when rushing back from the mountains at noon.
After all, he was the one who caused this change, not to mention the sense of accomplishment.
Leading the two Hei babies down the mountain while humming a ditty.
As soon as I rounded Laohe Bend, I heard a little baby shouting under the big tree: "The ants are moving across the snake aisle, and the heavy rain is coming soon. It must be raining heavily soon."
< br>Chen Ling looked over there and saw Xiao Sen from Yuqiang's family, carrying a small bucket and a small shovel on the ridge of the melon field with a group of children smaller than him. He didn't know what he was digging for. , dug a pile of soil.
"Hey, you guys, if you don't go back to eat at noon, what are you doing here? I wonder if there are jackals in the mountains."
Chen Ling shouted.
But their eyes lit up, and they ran over shouting "Uncle Grandpa" and "Uncle Fugui" regardless of being covered in mud.
"Uncle and grandpa, we are looking for turtle eggs. Recently, a lot of wheat field turtles have laid eggs."
"Yes, we want to find some and take them back to hatch hatchlings..."< br>
"Uncle, please ask Heiwa and Xiaojin to help search. We couldn't find where the wheat field turtle buried its eggs, and it took us a long time to find a nest."
At this time, a sleepy old man emerged from the shack.
"Hey, Fugui has gone to the mountains?"
"Oh, Brother Jukun is looking at melons here. I thought no one was watching these kids."
Chen Ling smiled and said a few words to Wang Jusheng.
Then he turned to Komori and others and said, "It's easy to find turtle eggs. I can teach you how to find them without two Heiba."
This year there are just a lot of wheat field turtles.
Logically speaking, one should not harm their turtle eggs.
But, some things are not that simple.
For example, it is farming season, and wheat field turtles like to lay eggs in farmland, so there is no way.
Now the wheat harvest has been completed and the autumn crops are being planted.
The turtle cannot find a suitable place to lay its eggs.
Many eggs will be destroyed even if people don’t look for them.
The little turtle cannot hatch.
"Wow, Uncle Fugui, can you really find the place where the turtle lays its eggs? Please teach us."
"Yes, Uncle Fugui, please teach us quickly, you You’re going to teach me how to find turtle eggs, and I’ll give you all the cicada monkeys I caught tonight.”
When these little things encountered catching turtles and turtle eggs in the first year, when they were fresh and full of enthusiasm, they burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm for these turtle eggs.
"Why are you pestering your uncle and grandpa? It's noon, and your uncle and grandpa are not allowed to eat?"
Wang Jukun scolded his grandson and others.
Then he brought two picked watermelons to him.
"Haha, it's okay, Brother Jukun, just find a turtle egg..."
Chen Ling smiled at Wang Jukun and said to Komori and the others: "These turtle eggs are not too difficult to find. You just need to find out their temperament.
This wheat field turtle used to like Dig a hole in the ditch near the roots of the wheat and lay the eggs. After laying the eggs, dig up the soil and bury the hole.
Now that the wheat has been harvested, there are more turtles in the melon field.
It is still the same. Look for the roots.
What are you looking for? Just look for their paw prints.
For example, here..."
When Chen Ling said this, he looked around and soon saw thin claw marks on the roots of a watermelon plant near the field ridge, which were very similar to the traces of turning the soil. Obviously.
“And when you dig a turtle hole, don’t dig it with a shovel, otherwise if you shovel down, if there are turtle eggs, they won’t be smashed into pieces at once. ”
These little devils just laughed and frowned. Wheatfield turtles have been rare in recent years. They are not like catching scorpions or cicadas. They are more familiar with it. They just take advantage of the freshness. Just mess around here.
Chen Ling squatted down and stretched out his hand to pull the dirt aside.
The caves in which turtles lay eggs are generally not deep, only about ten centimeters.
He slowly dug out the loose soil covering the top with his hands, and a few milky white turtle eggs were exposed underneath, which looked crystal clear, like beautiful white pebbles.
"Hey, that's it."
"Wow, uncle, you are so awesome, you found it just when you said you found it."
The little kids cheered.
Chen Ling clapped her hands with a smile: "Okay, I'm going home to eat. You can play here. You have found enough turtle eggs. I will tell you how to hatch all the little turtles alive."
