Chapter 525
Chen Ling came closer again.
At first glance, the hole is as big as a water tank, and a calf can really get into it.
Wang Lixian is right.
This is obviously not a mouse hole.
Even a field mouse, which digs its holes in all directions, would never dig such a huge burrow.
The holes dug by voles are only very deep and long, like spider webs underground.
The hole itself is very thin.
It’s not as big as a water tank. To be honest, it’s a bit scary.
Muddy muddy water flowed into the big hole.
"This guy, there is so much wheat and sorghum in it. Why didn't you see such a big hole in this place when you were harvesting the wheat?"
Chen Ling looked at the ears of wheat and sorghum floating out of the hole, thinking Full of doubts.
Yes.
Inside this big hole are not shelled wheat and sorghum, but handfuls of wheat and sorghum ears.
These are very light and dry.
That's why it floats when the water washes it off.
It also proves that this is indeed a cave dug by wild animals that have the same habit of storing food as voles.
Because this is basically the situation in the vole's granary.
After all, wild things don’t shell crops one by one and store them.
When the crops are ripe, just bite them off and move them to the hole.
"Looking at the size of this hole, could it be a badger? But I haven't heard that badgers can store food."
Chen Ling was very puzzled. Badgers are also pig badgers. They eat melons and steal food. They eat more tender corn, peanuts and sweet potatoes, but less wheat and sorghum, which are not included in their diets.
Thinking about it again, the fox is even more impossible.
There are only two alligators who can dig such a big hole, but they have long gone down the water to the mountains to lay eggs and hatch them.
And they are not vegetarian either.
"Yes, otherwise you think this hole is weird. There was a lot of grass around here before. After we hoe the grass away, we can't see any hoof prints or dung."
Wang Lizian looked at the mountain. The knowledge of wild animals is not much less than that of Chen Ling. When he saw such a big hole where food was stored, he was also confused.
I can’t figure out what kind of thing it was.
"Well...I called the dog to come and take a look."
Chen Ling turned around and whistled, and soon Erhei led a group of dogs into the corn field, wading After pouring the muddy water, I ran to the cave entrance and sniffed it back and forth. Unfortunately, after sniffing for a while, I found nothing. Not even feces or urine was found, and they didn't react much.
"It doesn't seem to be possible. Maybe the smell will dissipate quickly after being washed with water."
Although Erhei and the others are not as powerful as the noses of Heiwa and Heiwa, they are wandering around the fields and mountains by themselves all day long. When it comes to hunting for food, it's no worse than those good hunting dogs raised by ordinary people.
They don’t respond, so there’s nothing we can do about it.
"Let's just water it here first. I'll take the two Hei babies back in the evening to see if they find anything."
Chen Ling frowned and thought for a while. , said.
In his heart, he was more curious and doubtful than worried about anything strange.
After all, they are just wild animals that store food for food.
Not jackals, tigers and leopards.
Wang Lixian nodded: "Well, Liu Ni'er, you guys go get some bamboo sticks and insert them here later, so that you don't know there are holes here and step in."
When Liu Nier and the others heard that a mission was assigned to them, they responded loudly and ran out wearing little straw hats.
Erhei and a group of dogs may not have discovered anything, but gained very little, but they have already sensed that something is wrong, and have been wading back and forth in the water at the entrance of the cave to sniff.
At this time, Liu Yuzhi and Da Nier looked at the bellies of several dogs, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they smiled and made a few gestures to Chen Ling.
"Yes, these are female dogs. They are about to give birth to puppies, and their bellies are quite big."
Chen Ling responded with a smile.
There are three cats and four dogs. It takes three months for a cat to be pregnant and four months for a dog. Of course, this is calculated day and night together.
In the blink of an eye, almost two months have passed, and naturally these female dogs are about to give birth to puppies.
“These dogs you raise are all very good. If you hadn’t arranged for them all and they had paid you money, I would have had one or two of them...”
Wang Lixian also wants to raise two small hunting dogs, but there are no suitable ones.
"It's easy to say, there will be more in the next litter."
Chen Ling pointed to the guide: "The red wolf in the city is also pregnant with the bobcat. It is the seed of my dog. I’ll ask you another day. There are many dogs there, and you don’t necessarily need all the puppies.”
"That's okay. I just want to raise two local hunting dogs. Otherwise, the tiger's head will be yellow, and the stupid dog Boming will bring back will eat so much that even the guard can't look at it."
Wang Lixian said about that Big black back gives me a headache.
"Huh? What's wrong? Isn't that dog pretty good?"
"Oh, you saved its life after all. It will definitely be honest and obedient when it sees you. It won't be able to do it at home. , if you keep it tied up, it will poop and urinate. If you eat too much, it will poop too much, making the yard smelly and smelly.
Let it out, that won’t work, it keeps eating randomly, for fear that it will eat again. A poisonous rat or something.
And despite the fact that the big wolf dog is so big, it can't get along in the village. It's always bullied, and every time it goes out, it always comes back with injuries. ”
That’s true, the native dogs in their village are not ordinary native dogs.
Many of them have hunted wolves and wild boars with Hei Wa and the two, and each one is more fierce than the other. , this is not a complete abuse to deal with a black-backed dog from the city.
"Hahaha, such a dog must be raised in the village from an early age, or kept on a leash, or let loose from an early age. This is the most troublesome thing for dogs brought back from the city. ”
Chen Ling has experienced this before, and he was still a local dog, but after growing up in the city, he was not accustomed to the local environment after he came back.
At the beginning, he had a lot of fun, but later on, the dogs in the village made him afraid to go out.
After all, a pampered dog cannot bear much grievance.
"Yes, I led it to the greenhouse so that it could look at the greenhouse."
"Ha, this is good. It can urinate freely outside the village."< br>
At this time, there were not as many dog thieves as there were after the millennium. Today’s dogs are not valuable, and there are no local dog meat shops or sausage processing factories. There is no place to sell the stolen dogs, so they are kept in There is nothing going on outside the village.
"From now on, I will pick up two puppies from your house. Let Bo Ming take the dogs to the county town and guard them at his freight station."
Wang Lixian smiled: "The couple from Jusheng came quite well today. Good morning, I don’t know if he has heard about the people in the village talking about..."
"What are you talking about? Chun Yuan, my mother? Or is it about the second aunt's family?"
"That's not it. The thing is, I heard people say that Uncle Wu seems to have a little regret recently. We were drinking together last night, and he was waiting outside. He was too embarrassed to come in. He waited until the news about you beating the Pig King on TV was over. Come in and take the rotten away, you know that?”
“Yes.”
Someone comes to the house and takes away a little baby. Can Chen Ling not pay close attention to it?
"Juxiang asked you to break your leg, and you haven't gotten out of bed yet. Uncle Wu and Aunt Guizhen are taking care of the baby these days. They were late to take the baby home yesterday.
I heard It was Juxiang and his wife, as well as Aunt Guizhen, who didn't know whether they complained about him or said something else.
Unable to hold back his anger, Uncle Wu gave the woman a beating and then said something else. After giving Juxiang a lesson, Juxiang finally threw away his crutches and started throwing things in the middle of the night. Baoshuan, Xiaochao and the others came over just now, and they heard that Uncle Wu seemed to have yelled a few words, and it was not embarrassing enough to say anything. Do you have to offend everyone?
The neighbors nearby heard it. "
Chen Ling was a little surprised after hearing this.
It was not that he was surprised by Wang Laishun's behavior.
It was that he was surprised to hear such a thing from the taciturn Wang Lixian.
It feels like the thick eyebrows and big eyes have rebelled.
However, he also understood that Wang Lixian also cared about his own people, and felt that Wang Jusheng's family was relieved in disguise, which was a bit happy. This was probably his mentality.
People, when they see evil people having bad luck, most of them feel a little secretly happy.
Chen Ling shrugged his shoulders: "Uncle Wu is right to think so, but it's too late to regret it now."
After stabbing someone, if you know you are wrong, you can Forgiven?
The damage has been done.
Not to mention treating his own son like this.
Wang Jusheng has not warmed up the hearts of the old couple for many years. Now he regrets it. Is it useful?
Many young people in the village used to say that Wang Jusheng was too honest, too stupid, and too useless. People didn't want to see you, and they would even come forward to criticize you. In the end, they felt uncomfortable after being left out.
That’s not because I’m so cheap and looking for trouble.
But if this kind of thing happens to them, they will not say anything.
After all, they are biological father and mother, and they have been raised since childhood. How can we just disconnect them? In the countryside, filial piety is emphasized, it is not that simple.
The results we have now did not happen overnight.
......
Chen Ling carried the shovel and continued back to the east to water the fields, muttering in a low voice: "These two are quite interesting, they are still talking about each other behind their backs."
Just when Zhang Qiaoling talked about Da Nier, Wang Lixian mentioned the conflicts in his family again.
I can only say that watering the ground was too dull and boring, and everyone couldn't help but start gossiping.
Not bad.
There are many people today and the water flow is not slow.
By eleven o'clock, people on both sides had watered about six acres of land.
This is already very fast.
Even if there is a well next to the Tutu Temple, or a stone canal is built near the reservoir, the land can only be obtained at the rate of two or three acres in half a day.
Chen Ling and the others were able to water six acres of land because they used different water flows on both sides.
After eleven o'clock, the cornfield was so stuffy that people couldn't breathe.
Chen Ling asked everyone to stop and go drink some water to cool off.
He himself wore water shoes and blocked the two water diversion ditches with bluestones. After cleaning the orchard with his two families and a bunch of children, he ate melons and rested.
After a while, Yu Qian came over on Chen Ling's motorcycle carrying his little one.
I also brought a big bag of fried dough sticks and fried steamed buns.
I was passing by the county town and went to look for him in the small yard. I heard Gao Xiulan say that he was watering the ground today, and he was worried that they would have trouble cooking in the hot weather, so the old boy bought these things from the fried dough sticks stall for them to have for lunch. .
He also said that the beef soup here sells very quickly.
It’s not even eleven o’clock yet, and it’s sold out early, otherwise I’d bring some back to them. The fried dough sticks soaked in beef soup are great.
"That's enough. Brother, go home and tell your sister-in-law, so that she won't have to worry about cooking."
Chen Ling smiled at Wang Qingwen, then turned his eyes back to Yu Qian: "You guy, these two days Where did you take Huining to play? You are not familiar with this place. You don’t know where to get gas, and you are not afraid that your motorcycle will run out of gas and you will not be able to come back.”
Since I came back last time, this old boy and I have been together. Bai Huining's relationship improved by leaps and bounds, and he couldn't wait to take the girl out to play.
It’s not convenient to drive in the mountains, so I rode Chen Ling’s motorcycle and walked around.
Having been there for four or five days, Chen Ling was really afraid that they would be eaten by wolves or encounter danger.
There will be no more cross talk queens in the future.
"Look at what you said...I travel a lot, and I don't have a long mouth. I can't ask where there is a place to refuel."
Yu Qian pushed up his sunglasses, looking quite high-spirited. "It was so fun to go out this time. I went to Fenglei Town and Yaowang Temple. When I went to Fenglei Town, I met Uncle Cunye taking Zhenzhen and the others to the venue. Hehe, The two of us even went to the mountains to stay for one night. It was so comfortable.
If it hadn't been for the bad roads, we could have wandered around for a month without coming back.
Yes. Huining?”
Bai Huining also smiled, "It's fun, but I'm still thinking about the things near Brother Ling's house. I think it's more comfortable here.
There is food and fun to do, so I'm not bored every day, and I don't have to be so tired from traveling. .
If the red-crowned cranes hadn't lived in the mountains, I would have definitely stayed in that small house in the bamboo forest. "
"My dear, I have set my sights on that place. It seems that I will have to build more in the future. A few seats, if there are too many people coming to play, rent them out."
Chen Ling joked.
"What a good idea. Literary youths like Lao Zhou, and educated people like Teacher Zhao and Teacher Zhong like this style. When the time comes, I will attract customers for you and kill them severely. Afterwards, we will be happy Just divide it."
Yu Qian licked his big face and said with a mean smile.
"Okay, Lao Yu, your calculation is quite loud."
Chen Ling ate the fried dough sticks and patted him on the shoulder.
“Oh, go, go, you oily hands are all over my body.”
Yu Qian quickly dodged away, stood up and said, "I won't stay with you anymore. Let's go to the mountains to find Teacher Zhao to herd the sheep."
Zhao Yubao and Zhao Yubao were also helping Chen Ling herd his flock of sheep today.
He pulled Bai Huining away.
Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng said: "This brother has a temperament like Dahai. He talks happily and is very interesting."
"It's a bit similar, but it's still different. Dahai has a wife and children, and most of the time he has serious business. This old boy is different, he just loves to play.”
Chen Ling chuckled.
Having a few friends like this makes life feel real, interesting and colorful.
There is something else besides money and fame.
"Lingzi, the little leopard came back just now. He walked around the house and then left."
At this time, Wang Qingwen and his wife walked out.
"Oh, that little guy probably came back to look for Susu. He saw that Susu was not at home, so he left."
Chen Ling didn't care, anyway, no one in the little Clouded Leopard's family was close to him except Wang Susu. .
"Brother, sister-in-law, you two sit down and eat too, there are so many fried dough sticks."
Chen Ling stood up: "I'm going to pick two cucumbers and tomatoes and make two cold dishes."
