Chapter 564
I came back from Kinmen Village and talked to everyone about the magic of the yellow-throated marten. There is nothing special to do today.
He stayed at the farm and planned to build a 'tiger's den'.
Although Ah Fu and Ah Shou only come back once a month or two, the dogs at home have kennels, so we have to arrange a place for them to live.
It is indeed clean today.
Except for a homeless family of three, not even CCTV reporters or the crew of Journey to the West live here.
And there are not so many people coming to hang out and catch fish and birds.
Those tourists who came from afar got a share of the prey last night and felt that their trip was complete.
In addition, Lao Turtle has not appeared again for a while, and he has lost the opportunity to see it with his own eyes, so he has already decided to leave.
There are also many people who come with their children. The children are about to start school and must leave.
So the village is still lively today.
They bought a lot of local specialties in big and small bags.
Wang Jusheng’s pickles and hot sauce are especially popular.
At first, these outsiders heard about what happened to Wang Jusheng’s family, and they sympathized with them and shared the same hatred in their hearts.
But then I ate those pickles and hot sauce, and I fell in love with them.
I don’t want to go back, and I won’t forget this bite.
They all went to buy it.
That is, after Wang Jusheng went to the market with Chen Ling, the couple and Zhang Qiaoling's family were busy pickling pickles to make hot sauce, otherwise there would not be enough to sell.
In addition to these things, there are also people carrying cages.
It is filled with newly hatched chicks.
This is naturally the chick hatched from the egg bought from Chen Ling's house.
For this reason, they often asked Chen Dazhi and Chen Baoshuan to weave bamboo cages.
The two of them are making a lot of money these days.
Before leaving, some of these people also went outside the village to look at the farm.
After living in the village these days, they have developed feelings for it.
I was still a little reluctant to leave before I left.
Everything in this small village is very expensive, otherwise I would have to get some good things back, such as those little fish, puppies and kittens, as well as horses and eagles. Every one of the tigers I saw was fascinating.
There is also this environment, green mountains and green waters, beautiful mountains and rivers. If the accommodation cost was not too high, I would have to live here no matter what.
With reluctance and regret, they left one by one under Wang Cunye’s puzzled eyes.
Later, Shanmao also brought a few pilgrims who had reserved puppies at the farm. While chatting about the dogs, they came over to take a look. The puppies looked different every day, and they could not wait to take them back.
"It's great here, the scenery is good, it's comfortable to stay, and it's a treasure land of outstanding people. Puppies grow faster than others, and they can run back and forth."
They didn't dare to leave. Even though I was close, I could still see the little puppy snoring and poking its head out at the door of the livestock pen.
The lynx looked at it and said, "Indeed, it will take another seven or eight days for it to be weaned and carried away."
While they were chatting, they did not go back to disturb Chen Ling, but just held the slingshot. Find a place to hunt birds with the net.
Slowly wandered away again and went to the mountains to see the red-crowned cranes.
"Now the scenery is good, there are many birds, there are also many beautiful pheasants and wild ducks, and even the great egrets and cranes come to live here. It was not like this here before."
The lynx told them about the past situation, which was quite interesting. In order to express my feelings about what Chen Ling did, he did have some skills.
“Hey, we heard that there are a lot of people filming TV here.”
“Yes, in addition to filming wealth, we also come here to take pictures. The current scenery here is not good. Look for it.”
The changes around Lake Yamanaka in the past two years can be said to be very big.
In the past, when this place was still regarded as a savage ditch, looking from the bottom of the mountain, I always felt that the peaks and cliffs here were strangely shaped, as if they would turn into man-eating monsters at night.
In addition, it was located to the west of the cemetery and mass graves, and there were ruins of the lime factory everywhere. It was dark and desolate, and few people were willing to walk here all year round.
Lake in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, has naturally become a forbidden place.
Without coming all year round, the villagers don’t even know when there was a lake inside.
In the past two years, Chen Ling and his family moved here.
It was only then that this place was transformed into a vibrant scene.
It turns out that the mountain wall here is as steep as a knife and an axe. Except for the pines and cypresses on the top of the cliff, everything is bare. At this time, it is also covered with vegetation.
The stone ditches that used to be piled with rocks have now become small streams, winding down the stone ditches. On the mountainside, there are long wild vines clinging to the mountains. The wall hangs down and is paired with a small stream and waterfall, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.
No wonder I have to worry about who comes. Even people who don’t know how to appreciate it will find it beautiful and like to stay here.
……
At this time.
Chen Ling took Ruirui and the two tigers to look for a suitable place to build a tiger den behind Zhuangzi.
I don’t know that many people have come and gone from home.
Just behind Zhuangzi, he was immersed in studying how to dig out a tiger hole and tiger den.
In order to save trouble, convenience and safety in later generations of zoos, many places have kept ligers, tigers and leopards indoors.
Chen Ling naturally wouldn't do that.
So we still pursue an original ecology.
He first thought about building a small castle in the back, which was made of loess and mud mixed with wheat straw and thatch, leaving a hole for Afu and Shou to live in it.
After all, a tiger’s den is just like a wolf’s cave, and there is no need for light inside.
This is the best for them.
Later I thought about it and decided to use stones as a base.
In other words, the inside is made of loess, and after it is built, a layer of stone is built outside, so that it will be warm in winter and cool in summer.
As for where to arrange it.
Probably in the northwest corner of Zhuangzi, there happen to be several water crossings there. Two of them are connected to the canals. The rest are blocked because of heavy rains and mountain torrents that cannot be drained. Open it again when the water comes out.
This is just in case.
At this time, open the one in the northwest corner and use it as the entrance of the tiger's den.
The tiger lies down at the entrance of this cave and can enter it completely.
The real tiger's den is separated by a wall and built outside the wall.
Built a structure outside the wall that looks like a raised turtle shell, connected to the mouth of the waterway. The ground has slightly less ridges. It doesn’t have to be built so high like a house. The main space is still underground.
Think about it, it’s quite comfortable for two tigers to live in a burrow with the same space inside a turtle shell.
Just do what you say, Chen Ling's hands-on ability is not weak now, and the shovel and hoe take turns.
Ruirui and two little tigers were also lying on the ground nearby, digging at the soil and playing non-stop.
Chen Ling thought they were naughty, so he deliberately picked up a shovel of dirt and threw it on them.
As a result, not only were they not disgusted, but they were rolling on the ground excitedly, waiting for Chen Ling to continue throwing it at them.
Rui Rui crawled into the small pit he dug, squealing excitedly and pulling the soil to his side to bury himself.
Afu and Shou also imitated him and squatted on the ground, pulling dirt on themselves and playing around.
Made Chen Ling feel helpless.
Last time the badger at home dug a hole and ran away. The bad boy wanted to crawl into the hole.
This time digging a hole gave him a chance.
Afu and Ashou were just learning something, and they were ruined by him.
Fortunately, the pit has been dug and formed by this time.
It’s okay for them to cause damage here.
After building the tiger's den, you can plant some plants and trees here yourself, and no traces will be left. Of course, after the vegetation becomes thicker, you can dig a hole outside.
This is like a hole dug by a mountain raccoon.
The tiger can come in and out of the village, and can also come in and out from the outside. It is very free.
But when it came to vegetation, Chen Ling suddenly remembered the lush and dense wild vines he had seen in the mountains before, forming a strong and winding vine wall.
It looks very beautiful.
Maybe you can do it outside the wall of the farm.
Hmm... If climbing the wall is not good for the wall, you can make a corridor entangled with wild vines, or a vine bridge.
It's like an iron chain bridge on some mountains from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
It's just made of wild vines entangled with several vines set up with wooden boards in the middle. If you entangle them once a year, they will grow stronger and stronger.
Chen Ling thought about it and built a vine bridge corridor like an overpass in his village, hanging in the air.
You can walk back and forth on it and enjoy the scenery.
The Fuji Bridge itself is also very beautiful.
At that time, we can also raise birds and other things on it.
That feels pretty good.
With the spiritual water in the cave, if others can’t do it, you don’t have to worry about not being able to do it yourself.
Thinking about it, I feel a little itchy.
He took Ruirui and the two tigers to the hut in the bamboo forest by the mountain lake to experiment.
Chen Ling uses wild grape vines from local sources.
First build a small frame, that is, use bamboo poles to form a fence gate structure, and place it on the ground.
Then watering is used to promote growth, allowing the vines to grow around the frame of the fence gate. From time to time, Chen Ling will adjust the direction so that the vines can wrap around every position.
At first, when the canes were sparse, they didn’t look good.
But when the grapevines climbed round and round, the entire fence gate was densely covered with grapevines.
Chen Ling patted it with his hand, "Good guy, it's hard, stronger than a door made of barbed wire."
To know.
Chen Ling built the frame of the fence gate, but it was not fixed with ropes and wires.
The two bamboo poles are put together, and the rattan canes are directly wrapped around them, just like artificial weaving. The bamboo poles are directly fixed firmly and as a whole, which is not too beautiful.
“Tsk, beautiful, beautiful, this idea can indeed be implemented.”
Chen Ling was so excited that they even covered the fence with grape vines. The fence wall and the gate of the entire small yard became a green and beautiful whole, and they were also covered with small bunches of small grapes, which were very beautiful.
But after finishing it, he had second thoughts.
If you want to make this thing into a vine bridge or an aerial corridor, then the only choice of wild vine species is among wooden vines.
As for those gourd vines, loofah vines, watermelon vines and the like, they will definitely not work.
It seems that I am going to the cave in the next two days to do more experiments.
That is to say, Ruirui is still young and ignorant, otherwise he would not dare to take the brat and act recklessly to promote the growth of plants outside.
Looking back, he didn't pay attention here now.
I took the tiger with me, holding the big pumpkin behind the house and pulling it down.
Some of the big black pumpkins can grow more than one meter long. They are pitch black, thick, long and curved.
He looked strange and held him on the swing.
After playing enough, when Afu and Shou helped him bite the pumpkin off the vine, he and Afu and Shou were dragging it, and Afu and Shou were holding it in their mouths, as if they wanted to pack it up and take it home. .
That is, this pumpkin is too big and heavy.
The brat couldn’t move an inch no matter how hard he tried.
On the other hand, Ah Fu and Ah Shou can pick it up easily.
He raised his head and took small steps to clean up at Chen Ling's feet.
After a while, they picked all the pumpkins behind the hut.
A pumpkin hill was piled next to Chen Ling.
After Chen Ling came back to his senses, he was shocked: "Damn, you guys are so good, you can find something to play wherever you go."
Then he stared at and took Ah Fu and Ah Shou to the The face of the brat who was transporting pumpkins turned dark: "Grandma, you brat, do you know how many melons this is? When the house runs out of food, you and Ah Fu Ah Shou will eat it. If you don't eat, I'll beat you up."< br>
Pumpkin is the same as loofah. If you plant one seed, your yard will be full of melons.
Especially when Chen Ling grows melons, they are very big.
A pumpkin vine on the slope outside the village can produce twenty or thirty melons, large or small, weighing two to three hundred pounds. It is not a problem.
For Chen Ling, it is estimated to be doubled.
At least five hundred pounds.
This does not include those eaten by birds and wild animals.
After making all this, how do you eat it?
As a gift, who doesn’t have pumpkins this season?
Liang Jinke planted several trees in the school. The guy produced so many melons that the whole family couldn't eat them all.
It’s okay to feed chickens, ducks and livestock.
Finally, Chen Ling took a few urea bags, and he and Ah Fu and Ah Shou dragged back three big bags, and threw the rest into the sky.
After coming down the mountain, my father-in-law was surprised to see Chen Ling getting so many pumpkins. He said why he went into the mountain to get such pumpkins. They were worthless and he couldn't eat them.
Even Ah Fu and Ah Shou were carrying a bag on their backs.
The two tigers were still very proud and proud, thinking that they had picked it back.
Chen Ling took the pumpkin bag from them and put it on the ground. They pressed it with their paws to prevent the old man from touching it.
The old man muttered for a while.
Indeed.
Pumpkins are not valuable. At this time, Chen Ling is really not interested in eating pumpkins.
If you are interested, you should eat tender corn.
It’s the season.
“This one at our house can be eaten too. The stick is quite big. You can break some off for Susu and his wife and bring them over.”
Wang Cunye warned: "I'll give you some to Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhong's family. They don't farm and can't eat corn on the cob."
Chen Ling responded, picked a few more large pumpkins, and then broke some corn. The stick was carried to the village.
Ruirui and the two tigers naturally followed.
The three of them have finally become familiar with each other in the past two days, and Ah Fu and Ah Shou also let Ruirui ride.
The two of them are not as stable as Heiwa Xiaojin. They know what it is like to take care of a baby, so they can walk faster. Ruirui rides on top, and has to hug the tiger's neck tightly with his little hands. Hold on to the fur on your neck so it doesn't fall off.
Fortunately, the tiger's back is relatively broad and will not be bumpy.
All the way to the thatched house on the slope outside the village, the two old men happened to be there, reading letters in Zhao Yubao's yard.
Seeing him coming, Zhao Yubao waved him over with a happy face.
"Fugui, your baby is very capable now. Some people have asked you to write articles. I know that you raise things well, so I asked you to ask if you can write an article."
< br>"Ah? Make an appointment with me? Let me write an article? Uncle Zhao, are you kidding me?"
Chen Ling was greatly surprised and asked him to publish an article to the National Animal Husbandry Magazine. He held it in for two months, but he couldn't write a few words.
It’s not that material.
Why did you take a fancy to him and ask him for a manuscript?
