Chapter 520 Rat Fighting
“Don’t listen to what I say, it’s raining like silk in the bean shed...”
“Ah, Fourth Master, can you read poetry? That’s awesome. "
On the morning of the twelfth day of the seventh lunar month, Yu Qian raised his thumb in surprise while he and Bai Huining chatted with Chen Gannian in the orchard.
Chen Gannian has become less confused in the past six months, but he often likes to come to the farm to herd sheep.
I feel more comfortable here than elsewhere.
When the weather is hot, I can sit there all afternoon.
Yu Qian and others have all heard of the legendary experience of the old man being bitten by a wolf. They have become acquainted with him several times, and they chat for a while when they meet. They like to listen to the old man's stories.
"Haha, I took cultural classes for a few days before, and I can read a few sentences..."
Chen Gannian said, pointing to the cliff: "Look, those This big bird is really a thief. It competes with the magpies for territory. It even dismantles the magpies’ nests and picks them up to build their own nests.”
"Yes, yes, these big birds are really hateful."
Bai Huining shouted unhappily. On the Chinese Valentine's Day, she and Yu Qian saw magpies building a magpie bridge. Naturally, they liked magpies more than egrets and the like.
While saying this, the girl was still holding a can bottle in her hand, swatting some grasshoppers and crickets in the grass, grabbing them into the bottle, and keeping them to feed the magpies.
In the past few days, she would catch them whenever she had free time, and when she was full, she would feed them to the magpies.
In her eyes, Magpie is her and Yu Qian’s matchmaker.
An animal matchmaker, so strange and romantic.
Moreover, the wonder of the Magpie Bridge appeared on the Chinese Valentine's Day, and the magpie also had an extraordinary meaning in their hearts.
After Yu Qian came back with Chen Ling, the two of them caught him together.
Then feed the magpies.
Feeding magpies is also easy.
Magpies are much smarter than most birds.
In whichever tree there was a magpie building a nest, the captured grasshopper bottle was tied tightly with a rope and hung up.
The mouth of the bottle must also be opened.
At this time, the grasshoppers and crickets in the bottle will crawl out and jump out.
When the magpies see this, they can’t help but fly over to grab the food.
People stay away and watch a group of magpies circling the cans and bottles on the tree to grab food, and even fly into the sky to fight for food. It is a very happy and joyful thing.
Feeding magpies like this looks very casual.
In fact, it is the simplest, most effective and most fun way.
Because this bird thief is smart.
No one can get close to it.
If you throw it to it, it will think you are throwing something at it and fly away all the way.
But hanging the bottle on the tree is different.
Because these guys often fly between fruit trees during the day, flapping their wings twice from one tree and landing on another tree, or they don’t fly at all. Spreading her wings, she jumped lightly from a high place and drew a graceful arc to the branches and leaves of another tree.
Sometimes I also walk around in the bushes and grass.
This is all looking for bugs to eat.
So hang the cans and bottles on the tree, and the grasshoppers and crickets will jump around, which will attract the magpies.
"The little magpies are really wronged by being bullied by those rogue big birds. Today we have to catch more bugs for them to eat."
Bai Huining felt very sorry for the magpies' plight. Magpie nests were scattered all over the ground, covered with yellow dried mud and fine black dead branches... As for the better and stronger dead branches, the egrets snatched them to build their nests.
Hearing this, Yu Qian nodded with great sympathy: "Well, catch more for them to eat. Later I will go to the county town to buy some bones and minced meat for Heiwa and the others to eat. An egret flew down, Let Hei Wa help chase them away."
Chen Gannian couldn't help laughing when he heard the young couple's conversation, thinking to himself that these are young people from the city, they are just interesting, um, There will be some foreign things that country people can't understand.
The two of them didn't know what the old man was laughing at, so they laughed along, squatting in the grass beside the ditch and swatting grasshoppers everywhere.
Until the farm came a burst of crying from a little kid.
Looking up, he saw Chen Ling holding Rui Rui who was crying heartbrokenly, followed by Wang Susu who had a big belly and a helpless face, and Heiwa Xiaojin who also had a helpless face. , walked out from the farm.
"What's wrong Ruirui? Look at this crying person. Tell your uncle and aunt who bullied you?"
When Yu Qian and Yu Qian saw this situation, they quickly got up and walked over: "Here, Look at how many grasshoppers there are in this bottle. Let’s take them back and feed them to your little chicks, okay?”
The little guy grabbed Chen Ling's clothes with one hand and cried for daddy, his little face full of tears.
"Oh, what's wrong with the baby? You two hurry up and comfort me. If you cry like this, your throat will become hoarse from crying."
Chen Gannian also came over.
Wang Susu helplessly said to everyone: "Aling has been away from home for several days now. Today he has to go to the city to clean up the yard. He is afraid that Aling will leave again and not come back. He won't listen to whatever he says. He insists. "Follow me."
When Bai Huining heard this, he quickly reached out to wipe the little boy's tears: "Oh, Ruirui is such a good baby. It turns out that he misses his father and can't bear to leave him."
This brat was like last time. Chen Ling didn't come back for a few days. After seeing Chen Ling, he was so happy and missing. He jumped up and down, climbed up and down on him, and rolled on his legs. He was so happy. I don’t know what to do.
As a result, Chen Ling stayed for two days and then left again, taking Heiwa Xiaojin with him.
He suddenly had no one to play with.
In the eyes of such a little baby, a day is really as long as a century.
When Chen Ling was gone for two or three days, he didn't miss his father too much.
Therefore, he was alert this time and had to follow Chen Ling wherever he went.
Yu Qian also said to Chen Ling: "You can take him there. Huining and I have nothing to do. Can't we follow you and help you take care of the baby?"
"Here, I do too. He didn’t say not to take it, but he cried more and more fiercely.”
Chen Ling spread his hands helplessly.
Wang Susu glanced at him and said, "You fooled him that day and said you would take him with you, but then you got on the tractor and left. Ruirui is smart and doesn't believe you anymore."
Chen Ling took people to hunt the Pig King that day, and also brought Heiwa Xiaojin with him. Ruirui wanted to follow him when he saw it.
Chen Ling coaxed him to follow Gao Xiulan back to the village to get something, and took the opportunity to leave quickly.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling ignored him and picked up the little guy. "Don't cry anymore. Dad really doesn't want to leave. Dad will take you to ride a horse first, and let's let the pigeons fly." Go.
You haven’t played with the pigeon whistle given by Uncle Yu.”
“Hey, don’t call me uncle, I’m not married, just call me old, Rui. Rui, don’t listen to your father, call him uncle.”
Yu Qian raised his eyebrows and shouted hurriedly.
Bai Huining was smiling next to him, thinking that he was not in shape.
However, I do feel that the two of them are not married yet, so it would be awkward to call them uncle.
Then the two of them will follow and fly pigeons outside.
The weather is cool in the morning, which is also suitable for flying pigeons around.
First blow the hawk's whistle to call back Erbaldy and the little flower pigeon.
Chen Ling pushed the motorcycle out for them to ride, and he and his son rode the horse.
At the same time, when the horses were let out, the cattle and sheep were also let out, and Chen was asked to take care of them first.
Then he grabbed the little tabby cat and the small mountain raccoons into the bamboo basket, and drove to the village with a horse and a motorcycle.
When we get to the village yard, we first give pigeons whistles.
Just as he finished pretending, Erbaldie flew over with two little flower pigeons.
Then the flock of pigeons ascended to the sky, the pigeon whistles began to whistle, and yellow-clawed hawks followed to escort them.
After one person and one horse slowly ran out of the village, the pigeons and falcons all flew down... After the horses galloped and the motorcycle speeded up, the pigeons dispersed, one by one, flying Horses and motorcycles were surrounded by horses and motorcycles flying up and down, back and forth, and above their heads were the powerful yellow-clawed eagles flying freely in the morning breeze.
On the way, I encountered a group of black swallows patrolling for food in the morning. The falcons would suddenly rise into the sky and turn into a black shadow, like black lightning, going against the group of swallows. Suddenly across.
Then several earth swallows swirled and fell from the sky.
Then the falcon caught them in its talons one by one as if showing off its skills, and threw each one accurately into the hole in the top of the bamboo basket behind Chen Ling, where they were scrambled by the little raccoons. Share the food.
Pedestrians on the road outside the county town stopped to watch and exclaimed loudly.
Yu Qi'an was also excited to watch. He turned the throttle of the motorcycle, grinned and screamed, calling the two bald men a condor.
The little baby in Chen Ling's arms also clenched her little fists and shouted.
As soon as the brat went out and started playing, everything was fine and he stopped crying. The whole time he was squealing with excitement.
He also asked Er Baldy to catch a native swallow for him.
Er Baldy is highly skilled. Like a hunting dog, he can capture his prey intact without killing it.
But the native swallows are no less temperamental than the house swallows. When Ruirui caught him in his hand, he began to gasp after a while...
From Yaba Lake to the forest farm, such a big When they finally arrived at the small yard in the county town, the swallow was completely dead.
The brat opened the top of the bamboo basket and fed it to the little raccoon boy.
......
"Good guy, why are there so many mouse holes in this house?"
"It's a pity that the little clouded leopard is not here, otherwise if I bring this here, I will think about it one by one. Run away."
When he opened the door and entered the yard, Yu Qian screamed, and Bai Huining didn't dare to stay casually.
Gao Xiulan had hoeed away the weeds in the yard, but we didn't see many rat holes. There were a lot of rat holes mainly in the house.
In the east room next to the pool, there are mouse holes everywhere at the base of the wall, at the corners, and at the door.
Gao Xiulan opened the door to the room with many rats.
Nothing else, the smell is too great.
“Come on, I didn’t catch mice when I brought them here. That little thing likes to eat birds, not house mice.”
Chen Ling shook his head.
Then he caught all the small mountain raccoons in the bamboo basket and placed them in front of the mouse hole. Ruirui also ran to a mouse hole, stamped his little feet, and gave guidance to the little tabby cat.
"That's true, but if the mouse doesn't come out, it's useless to bring so many cats here. The mouse holes in this house can't be filled with water."
Yu Qi Andong takes a closer look Look, these little mountain raccoons are used to catching birds and mice in the orchard. As soon as they see a mouse hole or smell a mouse, they will run to the mouse hole and squat down without anyone's instructions.
Nothing.
Rats hide in holes during the day and come out at night.
This is not a good time to catch rats in broad daylight.
The mouse hides in the hole and cannot come out, no matter how powerful the cat is, there is nothing he can do.
"It's okay, I have a solution."
Chen Ling took out a small bag from his pocket.
"This is rat poison. If you sprinkle it, it will lure the mice out of their holes."
When Yu Qian and the two heard the name, they immediately thought of the snake poison!
"Brother Ling, is this similar to the snake-attracting drug?"
Bai Huining's eyes lit up, this was what Yu Qian had told her.
Although Yu Qian had never really seen it and only heard about it from Shanmao and Zhao Dahai, this kind of magical thing was enough to impress them.
"Uh, yes, it's not much different."
Chen Ling smiled and responded simply.
Actually, this has nothing to do with snake attractant.
This is Chen Ling's own medicine for attracting snakes based on his father-in-law's recipe for attracting snakes.
The one he brought was mainly to attract wild boars.
Wild boars are omnivorous beasts, so it is also possible to use veterinary drugs to attract wild boars to attract rats.
"Wow, it's true. I didn't expect that we could see it with our own eyes."
Bai Huining said excitedly.
Yu Qian also said quickly: "Well, Fugui, hurry up and start luring the mice. These little mountain raccoons are impatient."
During the day, there were still people around, and these little mountain raccoons were patient. It's not strong, you have to lure the mice out as soon as possible and let them catch them.
As they talked, the two pulled Ruirui aside to make room for Chen Ling.
Chen Ling chuckled: "Take the brat out of the door, otherwise rats will scurry over people later."
"Huh? Is it such an exaggeration?"
With that said, Yu Qian and the other two took Ruirui outside the door.
The older one and the younger one poked their heads to see what Chen Ling was doing.
Chen Ling opened the medicine bag, took out a handful, and sprinkled some at the entrance of each mouse hole.
After the mouse holes in this room are cleared.
It only takes about a minute.
But Oyama Raccoon was a little impatient just now.
At this moment, all of them pricked up their ears and stared straight at the entrance of the mouse hole.
This is because he noticed something strange in the mouse hole.
"Hey, didn't you say that there is a formula for the snake-attracting drug? This drug that attracts mice is more powerful than the snake-attracting drug? You have a reaction so quickly?"
Yu Qian's words As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two small mountain raccoons squatting in the northeast corner of the house swooping forward.
Amidst the squeaking sounds, two small mountain raccoons each caught a big mouse.
This is not the end yet.
Almost at the same time, there was movement from several other mouse holes.
One after another, black mouse heads popped out and burrowed out.
Gradually, the house was filled with the sound of squeaking mice.
Just like Chen Ling said, the mice in Wuyang Wuyang are like the tide, scrambling to get out and jump out.
There must be two or three hundred big mice and small mice.
These little mountain raccoons were all in a hurry for a while.
If people don’t come out, rats will definitely jump on them.
When Bai Huining saw the scene of the mouse exploding its nest, his scalp immediately went numb, he uttered an ouch, and closed his eyes.
At this moment, Chen Ling jumped, closed the door, and locked all the mice in the room.
Looking from the outside of the house, the mice inside were crackling and jumping around. They even jumped very high and jumped onto the window sill, hitting the glass with a loud bang.
"Good guy, there are so many rats in just one room. This rat poison is going to turn the world upside down."
Yu Qian was dumbfounded, and then said to Chen Ling a little worriedly: "Fugui, are those little raccoons okay? ? There are so many rats, don’t catch them into rats, but they will be bitten to death by rats.”
