Chapter 498 New Discovery
“Look, the eagle is wandering around again.”
That evening, when Chen Ling and his uncle and brother were picking eggs on the mountain, there were a few A black figure circled back and forth high in the sky.
And as they hover, they continue to lower their flying altitude.
Looks like he is looking for a suitable hunting target.
"These guys are really getting bolder and bolder. They didn't dare to fly near Zhuangzi two days ago, but they are so close today."
Wang Qingwen put the egg basket on the ground and raised his head Frowning slightly.
Of course he had heard about the eagles who formed a group to steal chickens before.
Later, he was shocked by the killing of the two bald men as a warning to others.
Chen Ling also dried the body of the dead eagle and nailed it to the tree next to the pheasant nest as a warning.
These eagles did not dare to approach Zhuangzi for a long time.
Unexpectedly, after these herons and cranes migrated over, they were attracted again.
"Don't worry about this. The two baldies are back today. They dare to come and eat chickens and ducks. The two baldies are not vegetarians."
Chen Ling doesn't care much about these eagles, no. He has a big heart, but there are too many herons, much more than cranes.
There are only more than a hundred cranes, including the red-crowned crane.
However, these egrets and herons, plus a small amount of local cattle egrets and little egrets, are estimated to number close to a thousand.
For some people who live in places with water or paddy fields, this number may not be too much.
But it is enough for the eagles to go out hunting every day and return home with a full meal.
Even Erbaldie has been going out frequently recently to attack these large migrating birds.
With so much food, they have no intention of harming chickens and ducks.
"That's true."
When Wang Qingwen thought about this, he stopped worrying so much.
The three of them were picking up eggs and talking. After picking up the eggs, they happened to catch up with a large number of herons returning to their nests.
A large group of egrets flapped their white wings, like white clouds floating into the crowns of big trees and nests on the top of cliffs.
After the sun sets, the dark sky is filled with rattling sounds.
It is also a rare spectacle.
Chen Ling and his uncle stopped and watched for a long time.
Look at those eagles swooping down from all directions from time to time, launching surprise attacks on the herons.
There are so many herons and ferocious eagles, just like mice falling into a rice vat, they can easily swoop over and succeed.
Causing the egrets to fly around in panic.
Until the sky became darker and darker, and the eagle's vision was greatly affected.
The battle in the sky gradually subsided.
Afterwards, my uncle pointed to the egret nests on the cliffs and trees and said: "I heard from people in your village that these rare birds have increased in number since last year. It's really strange. We used to The wild geese don't leave that much, they only stay for a month or twenty days and then leave.
Unexpectedly, now, the red-crowned cranes have settled here with their heads.
I can’t really tell you what dad said, this is some kind of geomantic treasure land where treasures are buried..."
As he said this, before Chen Ling could answer, Su Ligai smiled softly and said, "Do you even need to ask? Prince Turtle has traveled several times. He must be a geomantic treasure. There is no need to bury it underground." Baby?
You think so?”
“Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right”
Chen Ling laughed.
He also has a sense of accomplishment that he can attract so many cranes and egrets to nest around his village.
Sometimes, people don’t need to divine whether Feng Shui is good or not.
Good birds choose trees to roost in.
The representations of these rare birds and animals are more convincing than any Feng Shui master.
This proves that due to his influence, the environment in his hometown is getting better and better.
And it is foreseeable that local products will become more and more abundant in the future.
This is much more fulfilling than how much money he makes.
……
The sky is gray and not bright yet.
Laohe Bend.
There was already a young man walking along the river with a little green horse and a little baby with a tiger head and a big head.
The weather has not been good these two days.
It was still a little cool when we came out early in the morning.
Chen Ling took his son around twice and did not disturb the herons nesting in the reeds.
Just rolled up his trouser legs, went down into the cold river, and pulled the cage.
“It’s been three days and there’s still nothing. Could it be that I accidentally released those cocky people near the farm?”
Chen Ling looked at the cage full of fish and shrimp, but without a trace of a smile on his face, he casually opened the door of the cage and dumped all the fish and shrimp inside on the ground.
Don’t care about the crayfish and crabs crawling around.
Looking at this pile of miscellaneous fish and shrimps, Chen Ling was still a little unwilling to give up.
It stands to reason that the bait he put out has a special smell, and if there is a squid in the river, it will definitely be attracted.
It is impossible to have none.
"Dad, Dad."
Rui Rui ran over with short legs, holding a slimy and dirty little turtle in her hands.
“Hey, the wheat field turtle has hatched?”
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then thought, it was already the end of June and it was time to hatch.
“Hehe, daddy, take it.”
Ruirui tilted her little head happily and handed it to him. She turned around and ran to the grass on the river beach to continue catching turtles.
Chen Ling saw that the two Hei babies were already following them, running around with their big tails raised, and working around the little babies.
He rinsed the little turtle in the river and threw it into the bamboo basket.
I picked up some larger crucian carp, grass carp, carp, etc. and threw them back into the river. I left the small miscellaneous fish, crayfish and crabs alone and threw them into the bamboo basket and took them back to feed Ruirui. Little yak.
Although the brat doesn’t know how many more days he can have the patience to feed, he can’t just ignore it and starve to death.
"Huh? Good guy, this is the spiny loach, I haven't seen it for many years. This fish is even rarer than the wheat field turtle..."
Chen Ling picked up a weird long fish from the bottom of the net, dark brown, It is long and thin, with barbs on its back, and its mouth is sharp and thin.
It is a bit like an eel, smaller than an eel, and a bit like a loach, but larger than a loach, and its mouth does not have a beard.
If it weren’t for the inconspicuous color and its weird appearance with barbs, it would probably be even weirder than the red eel.
“Although I didn’t find any fish with white beaks, I was lucky to find the spiny loach.”
Chen Ling originally thought that if he didn't catch Qiaozui Bai from Laohewan today, he would move to the reservoir to put a cage.
But after seeing this spiny loach, I had some concerns.
Chen Ling had to admire his good luck in catching this kind of stingray that had not been seen for many years.
Of course, he knew in his heart that this was largely because his bait was more attractive and attracted so many fish and shrimps to crawl into the cage crazily.
This spiny loach is also called the knife loach. Haven't seen it since the late seventies.
This kind of fish looks weird, but it tastes very good.
The fish meat is delicate, more delicious than eel meat, and less muddy.
In addition, this thing can also be used as medicine.
The whole body is full of treasures. Fish meat can replenish qi and blood, and fish bones soaked in wine can remove moisture.
This is what Chen Ling values more.
We should pay more attention to whether it tastes good or not.
After all, there is a lot of humidity in the mountains. In terms of value, this fish is much larger than other aquatic products.
I continued to dig through the pile of fish and shrimps, picking and choosing. There were relatively few spiny loaches, and I only found five in total. Two of them were as small as the thickness of my little finger. If I didn’t check carefully, I would have mistaken them for loaches. Throw it back into the water.
But five items are not too few.
Chen Ling happily threw them into the cave, feeling happy that he had found another precious fish.
The rules in the mountains prohibit hunting in the mountains in summer. His fun, apart from taking his children to touch monkeys and look for scorpions at night, is also in the water.
He made a new discovery, and Ruirui's gains were not small.
In just such a short period of time, I caught five or six little turtles. Every time I caught one, I ran over and put it in the bamboo basket, and kept busy going back and forth.
There were so many small fish and shrimps mixed in that Chen Ling had no choice but to pick them out. He picked two lotus leaves and covered them in the bamboo basket to separate the small turtles from the fish and shrimps below. Crawling back and forth on the lotus leaf.
These little guys had obviously just hatched out of their shells, and they were crawling around in the grass on the river beach.
It would probably be more at night.
In some ways, this thing is very similar to a baby turtle that has just hatched out of its shell. It is very alert right after it is born. If it can come out at night, it will not come out during the day.
There was nothing going on in the early morning. Seeing that his son was happy, Chen Ling let him catch those little turtles as much as he wanted.
It’s just that the further back you go, the harder it becomes to find.
In the end, I only caught a dozen or so, and together with the big turtles at home, I was able to make up a pond.
Father and son returned home happily.
Back at the farm, the whole family hadn't gotten up yet. Chen Ling carried his son and walked quietly to the backyard kitchen, cooked porridge and spread out a few egg pancakes.
Then, we surrounded the bamboo cage with the little baby chicks, one big and one small, and started feeding them the small fish and shrimps.
Rui Rui actually likes to feed this little thing.
Watching them eat insects and small fish bite by bite, I was more happy than eating by myself. I squatted beside the bamboo cage and stared at it the whole time.
If he was full and stopped eating, he would put his fingers in and poke them a few times.
He muttered a few words of unknown meaning, but he was having a great time anyway.
Generally, no one needs to take care of it.
The brat feeds the little chick with great enthusiasm.
Chen Ling took down the box containing the turtle eggs and looked around, but there was no sign of hatching.
Compared with those little turtles in the cave that hatched early, they were not even a little late.
Shaked his head, put the box aside, and simply took the turtle he caught earlier and put it in the stone trough under the gourd stand. This was a livestock trough brought back from the village. It was in tatters and had long since disappeared. People want it.
Fortunately, the stone trough is quite big.
Now it is used as a turtle pond. All the turtles, big and small, are put in, and a few copper money grasses are thrown in. It suddenly becomes full of life, which complements the mottled traces of time left on the stone trough. .
The father and son were feeding the chicks and the other was playing with the turtle.
Wang Qingwen and his wife found this scene very interesting after they got up.
Su Ligai walked this way and said to her husband: "You should take Tongtong over. You are not as good a father as Ling Zi. You haven't played with your son much since he was a child. Look at Ling Zi." It would be great to get these things for Ruirui, such as little rails and turtles."
Wang Qingwen moved his lips, wanting to refute, but had nothing to say.
Fortunately, Gao Xiulan arrived in time and brought the calf over from the village. Then she said that Wang Jusheng was back from the hospital and told Chen Ling to go over and have a look after eating.
These days, when Chen Ling lets horses go every day, as long as the weather is good, he will ride around the county and go to the hospital to see Wang Jusheng.
I’m afraid he can’t think about it himself.
Fortunately, after the quarrel between Zhang Qiaoling's mother's family, Wang Jusheng seemed to know that besides his mother-in-law and Chen Ling, there were still relatives who cared about him.
So gradually my heart became less uncomfortable.
One time when Chen Ling passed by, he took the initiative to mention to Chen Ling that he wanted to take his brother-in-law to do some business with Chen Ling.
It was inconvenient for him to be at the township police station himself, and Zhang Qiaoling had to take care of the child, so he had to follow what Chen Ling told him at the beginning and let the mother-in-law take care of her daughter-in-law.
"If that doesn't work, let Jusheng work with your second brother first."
While eating, Wang Qingwen said.
Among Chen Ling’s friends, Wang Qingwen himself felt that the ones he could get along with the best were Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng.
Especially Wang Jusheng, he is very sympathetic.
"That's not necessary. You and your second brother are just doing that. Others don't let them get involved. As for Brother Jusheng, they are only interested in things that can make money, but they just don't want to put in the effort."
Chen Ling rolled the pickles with egg pancakes and ate them with green onions. Without raising his head, he said in a low voice: "Just talking about these pickles, sister-in-law Qiaoling taught Su Su, but our pickled pickles are good, no?" When I knew what was going on, it tasted just like the others.
Later, I had people come to my house and marinate it with our own food, so it tasted better.
A few friends from Beijing came over every time. They all go to his house to install pickles.
If this business can be done, it will be great.
I tried to persuade her more than once, but they all took it as a joke. "
Wang Susu nodded hurriedly while feeding Ruirui steamed eggs: "Well, yes, sister-in-law Qiaoling is also an honest person. When she heard about doing business before, she shook her head faster than anyone else.
We started joking later. After all, no matter how close our relationship was, A Ling couldn’t force them to do it. "
Wang Qingwen and his wife looked at each other.
I thought that this brother-in-law has so many ideas to make money.
Gao Xiulan looked at them and smiled: "It's just like you and the Qingzhong brothers. Whenever you get the idea, it'll be fine."
Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
They were eating, but before they could go to the village, Wang Jusheng strolled over by himself.
Carrying a basket on his back, he packed some gifts that he had received while recuperating in the hospital. They said they were for Wang Susu and Ruirui to replenish their health, but in fact they came to express their gratitude.
But he didn’t stay here much. After dinner, Chen Ling went back to the village with him.
Today, everyone in their group who usually gets close to each other is here. Wang Jusheng has been discharged from the hospital, so he has to sit down and have a meal together to talk about this matter.
Unexpectedly, the father, Wang Laishun, came over halfway through the conversation.
This old man didn’t know what he was thinking. He had already made such a fuss, and why did he come here all the way? Didn’t he know that the couple here were so impatient and hated them?
As soon as I walked in...
Good guy, Wang Jusheng didn’t say anything, Zhang Qiaoling was furious, she slapped her father-in-law with a broom, and drove her father-in-law out of the door like a dog. .
This is not the end.
In the afternoon, the aunt in the county town heard that Wang Jusheng, the boss, wanted to break off the relationship, so she hurried over to intercede, but Zhang Qiaoling kicked her out again.
It was so noisy.
It was a joke.
Wang Juxiang and his wife were so angry that they couldn't live well in the hospital. They didn't dare to make trouble with Chen Ling, and they all blamed Wang Jusheng, the boss.
Wang Juxiang even said: "Just cut it off. When my parents are gone, I want to go to the grave and ask him to kneel down and pay me money. If he doesn't pay 30,000 yuan, he won't be able to wear sackcloth or mourning...
< br>I don’t even have a wife, let’s see where he will cry in the future.”
