"Oh, why is there so much water?"
Wang Susu, wearing a pink and white dress, just came out of the bedroom upstairs when she was startled by the rainwater accumulated below.
The rain didn't stop last night. Listening to the sound of rain, the young couple fell into a deep sleep.
I didn’t expect that the farm would have water canals extending in all directions and that so much water would accumulate in the yard.
“Ha, it rained hard and fast last night. There is not only water in our yard, but also fish!”
Chen Ling raised his head and smiled. Seeing that his wife's pregnant belly was holding up her skirt and her body was getting heavier and heavier, she said, "You are inconvenient, don't come down yet, play with Rui Rui up there, I'll get the water out." ..."
"Oh. "
Wang Susu nodded blankly at first.
Then he suddenly remembered: "Aling, it's raining so hard. Will the yard in our village be okay? Don't let it flood the house."
"It should be fine. Our farm is here." On the other hand, the water in the mountain streams has also swelled, and it has filled the canals with the rain. It cannot be drained out in a short time, so it overflows. There are so many water channels in the yard in our village. Now the village has dug a small river, and the drainage is fast... …
It sounds much better than here at the farm. "
While talking, Chen Ling rolled up his trouser legs, raised his head and said, "I'll go back and have a look later. Don't worry about it. It rained heavily yesterday anyway, so my mother didn't go back to sleep." ”
Then I picked up the bucket and went into the water, preparing to catch the fish first and then drain the water.
Wading in the water, after taking two or three steps, I heard a 'wow' With a sound, a slippery big thing suddenly jumped up from his feet
It was powerful and powerful.
It was as if something slapped Chen Ling's leg.
It startled him.
Looking closely: "Hey, this big white fish, I haven't found you yet, but you have caused trouble for me."
At this time, this big guy was already seriously injured fell into the water.
There was a big splash.
Chen Ling hurriedly reached out and grabbed it...
But Qiao Zui Bai is so fierce, strong, and slippery.
As soon as Chen Ling caught it, the big fish suddenly shook its head and tail and almost escaped from his hand.
In desperation.
The other hand used a bucket and stuffed the big fish directly into the bucket.
Just listen to the "pop-pop" sound in the iron barrel.
This big white fish is jumping around in the bucket.
The fish is big but small.
It almost jumped out.
Hearing the noise, Wang Susu hurriedly walked out: "What's wrong, Aling?"
"It's nothing, it's just that there are not only many fish in the water, but also a group of cocky whites..."
Chen Ling raised his head and smiled: "I caught another big one, no, it's tumbling in the bucket"
The cocky mouth is white and happy.
Not to mention the big fish leading the way.
When it rains heavily, the fish rush even harder than the fish in the water.
"Ah! Have they all come to the courtyard? Then you don't have to go looking for them!"
Wang Susu said happily.
I was still worried last night.
Although Chen Ling said at the time that it was not difficult to catch, these big fish were too harmful.
She was still worried about this.
I am afraid that if I fail to catch it once, I will suffer losses again.
Unexpectedly, it rained heavily that night, and these big fish actually ran into the yard on their own.
Wang Susu was so happy that she turned around and went downstairs to help Chen Ling catch it.
"Hey, hey, hey, I just told you, there is water down here, what are you doing down here?"
Chen Ling quickly stopped her.
"It's okay, I'll get you a fishing net under the eaves..."
Wang Susu smiled, waved her little hand, which had become slightly fatter due to pregnancy, and walked downstairs with a full belly.
Maybe the young couple spoke a little louder.
Rui Rui’s buttocks were bare, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, she shouted ‘Mom’ in a daze and ran out of the room on her short legs.
Also followed.
It's a big deal for the little thing to come out.
Heiwa Xiaojin waggled his tail, barked, and rushed upwards. He hurriedly greeted him without anyone telling him.
As soon as the little boy and the dog moved, the whole farm became lively.
After a while, everyone came out.
Either fishing or draining water with Chen Ling, or playing with Ruirui.
No one is in a hurry to have breakfast.
The fish yesterday was really big enough.
Even if someone eats it like a steamed bun, they still can’t finish it.
Chen Ling and his entire family, plus Zhao Gang, could barely finish the meal.
So I’m not hungry in the morning.
"Good guy, look at this cocked mouth and white bump, the fish scales fell off..."
Zhao Gang pointed at the two big fish put into the water tank and said in surprise.
“Not surprising, this fish is famous for its impatience, just like a freshly caught wild bird that will bump into the cage and will not stop until it hits its head and bleeds.
Also, these fish usually drive away fish schools, or when it rains, the water rushes upwards and jumps, which often knocks off the fish scales..."
Chen Ling caught another half-sized fish and threw it into the water tank. With a splash, as soon as the fish entered the water, it started to shake its head and tail vigorously with several big fish in the big water tank, running wildly and swimming around.
Stirring the water in the water tank.
The big fish inside is almost fifty centimeters.
The smaller ones are also over thirty centimeters.
It’s not easy to grow to such a big size.
There are only five water tanks in total.
But these five fish have already filled the large water tank, which is about half a man tall.
Every fish has missing scales.
If it is more serious, or if the water environment is not too clean, these fish are very likely to be infected with bacteria and die.
Seeing this situation, Chen Ling thought that if these fish couldn't be eaten, they couldn't let them out rashly.
Otherwise, the chance of getting sick is definitely not small.
It is better to put it in a water tank for a few days to heal the injury, and then put it in Yamanaka Lake or other places, so that at least it will not get sick.
Nothing.
Chen Ling suddenly remembered that these fish might not have appeared suddenly, but could they be found in places such as Yanzhong Lake, Laohe Bay, or reservoirs.
After all, there is the dumb lake that few people go to. Several rivers around the county are connected in all directions.
It’s not surprising that they have them here.
Chen Ling just wants to see if there are many of these things now.
At that time, we will simply cultivate it or something.
Thinking about things while working.
Suddenly there was a crisp crackling sound on the bamboo tiles on the roof.
The sound is very dense.
"Huh? It's raining again?"
"No, it must be the wind blowing the rain off the trees."
"Hey, No, no, it’s not rain. Listen, there’s a squeaking sound, my dear, it’s actually a group of cranes falling...”
“Eh? That’s still wrong, it’s an egret?”
The rain has just stopped, the sun has not come out, and the sky is still a bit gloomy.
On the roof of the bamboo building in the front yard, there stood a row of large birds that were either white or blue, about thirty or forty of them.
No wonder it pattered like rain when it fell on the bamboo tiles.
I don’t know if these big birds have gathered together and become bolder or something.
Before everyone could discuss and guess a result, a big white bird spread its wings and flew down from the top of the building.
He stopped steadily beside the lotus pond and began to peck at the small fish on the shore that no one had time to clean up.
"This is the egret, but it shouldn't be from here near us..."
Before Chen Ling finished speaking, there was another movement on the roof.
Fluttering... Another big blue bird flapped its wings and landed. Like the big white bird, it suddenly started pecking at the small fish on the ground.
“This is Qingzhuang, which is where herons, egrets and herons often mix. This one shouldn’t be from our side either.”
"Yes, the waterfowl nearby are afraid of our dog and don't dare to come to our house. It is probably like a crane flying in from a distance and hungry.
Wang Susu agreed.
Egrets and herons are also migratory, and they will constantly change places in order to survive.
Just like the red-crowned cranes a few days ago, they will also choose to migrate at night.
Pan Ling Leng...
As soon as the young couple said these two sentences, all the big birds on the roof came down.
One by one, they folded their wings and looked big, lowering their heads to eat small fish.
I was so happy that I squawked twice.
As if no one else was watching.
As for the humans in the distance, they seemed to be completely ignored.
The family dog was a little dumbfounded to see such a bold bird.
I didn’t react for a moment, and I didn’t rush to chase him away immediately.
Not to mention the little cat and the two litters of mountain civets hiding from the rain.
We usually show off our power to the birds in the orchard, but now when we see these big birds about one meter high, we don’t dare to be brave.
I will just watch these big birds picking up fish and meowing softly.
However, the three little weasels were still fearless. In the past, they dared to tease the geese in the village. Naturally, these water birds would not let them back down.
They jumped like three big yellow mice and ran up to the group of big birds, baring their teeth.
“Dad, Huang Huang!”
Rui Rui’s eyes lit up. After giving the weasels a bath last night, Rui Rui carried them to the crib.
A luminous fish in a glass bottle hangs on the bedside, and five furry and cute weasels are held in his arms.
Very comfortable.
But weasels are not kittens or puppies after all. These little things just started rolling back and forth on Ruirui's bed, sniffing and playing quite happily.
But he was wild-tempered and couldn't stay until midnight, so he ran away one by one.
When Chen Ling went downstairs in the morning, he saw them sleeping on Rui Rui's pile of toys in the next room.
I didn’t expect that I would rush quite quickly when something happened.
At this time, when Ruirui shouted, the dogs immediately reacted, as if they were provoked, and shouted "woof woof woof..." and pounced on the birds.
Heiwa Xiaojin was besieged by a flock of wild geese.
I have never had a good impression of these waterfowl.
At this time, seeing Ruirui next to Chen Ling, he put down his little master and rushed over with the dogs.
The waterfowl that had just been eating fish in a big way were suddenly frightened and screamed, spread their wings and flew up in panic, flying back to the sky and circling.
It seems that he wants to find another opportunity to fall down.
But the dogs were spinning around on the ground, barking all the time, and they didn't dare to come down again.
“It’s really interesting here, you can encounter all kinds of strange things.”
Zhao Gang looked up at the flock of herons in the sky and sighed.
Chen Ling’s family smiled and said nothing. Is this considered rare? It’s even rarer that some people can’t participate.
For example, last winter I encountered a mountain lizard who was chased and beaten by a group of magpies. The mountain lizard lost several patches of hair. The group of magpies stayed outside the mountain lizard's cave for several days in the morning and evening, quacking and jumping. Jumping around, just like swearing.
It seems to be a provocation, asking Shan Lizi to come out to fight.
The big fat cat was so frightened that he did not dare to go out. He was hungry for several days. He was so hungry that he went to the farm to steal steamed buns and cabbage from the vegetable cellar.
Just think about it and you will know how miserable it is.
Many people will never see that scene once in their lifetime.
"You, if you have nothing to do, come here more often. Look, something even rarer is yet to come."
Wang Qingwen said with a smile.
What he is actually talking about is the giant turtle in the reservoir, which is easy to see when there is a lot of rain.
But what a coincidence, after he said this, something strange happened behind him.
And on the same day.
In the morning, he and Chen Ling discovered that a group of egrets were always trying to steal fish nearby. While cleaning the farm's livestock pens, chicken coops and duck sheds, they looked at the sky from time to time and used slingshots to shoot at the big birds. Down.
About eleven o'clock, Chen Baoshuan took Xizi and Liu Nier to go up the mountain to look for mushrooms, ground ears and other things. They said hello to Chen Ling when they passed by.
But not long after, Chen Baoshuan was heard shouting on the mountain, and the little children also shouted.
Chen Ling thought something had happened.
Pick up the shovel and run over quickly.
"What's wrong, Baoshuan?"
"Fugui, Fugui, come quickly. There is such a big bird's nest here, and there is an egg falling under the tree."
Chen Ling walked up to In front of me, I was also a little dazed, "Good guy, it's true, this is a nest built by an egret, it's as scrawled as a turtle dove's nest."
On this big tree, there are A nest that is larger than a rolling plate is spread out in the shape of a shallow plate. From the bottom up, it looks like dead branches and hay mixed together, scrawled, as if several magpies' nests have been taken apart and laid flat.
“I don’t recognize it. Come and see if this egg is an egret egg.”
