Autumn is getting thicker, but the sound of cicadas is still there.
After getting the medical books for Wang Susu and stewing the newly bought pig's trotters, he returned to the village.
That night, Chen Ze and others kept watch over Qing. He deliberately kept his stomach empty and skipped dinner.
After returning to the village, I made a big pot of crabs, fish and shrimps, saving them for dinner at night during the vigil in the wheat field.
Crabs are in season right now.
In addition, eating this food is the best way to kill time. It is also very atmospheric to sit around the fire and chat while eating with the breeze blowing.
There was indeed nothing going on that night.
These people who watch the night, there were still two people who had their own thoughts last year.
This year it was a lot of fun and everyone was very excited.
Although Chen Baoshuan's character was not very good in the past, he was good at catching birds.
In autumn, once the birds stop breeding, they begin to gain weight.
At this time of year, in the dead of night, this man would go out with a lamp and a bamboo ladder to stop birds in old unoccupied houses.
As we all know, sparrows and turtle doves are lazy and stupid. Sparrows like to live in ready-made wall cracks. Turtle doves can’t even build nests. Sometimes they just lie down and sleep under the eaves.
A dozen of them at night would not even know how to escape.
I can catch a large net bag in one night, and I won’t be able to catch it all.
That night he brought a bunch of birds and pigeons. The pigeons were braised with the same marinade that Chen Ling had asked for before, and the birds were deep-fried.
That guy, paired with Chen Ling’s crab, fish and shrimp, is simply delicious.
There is just one thing, too much wine.
But I am really happy eating.
Everyone said that Chen Baoshuan spent a lot of money this time.
They are all willing to fry it.
He praised him so much that his voice went up eight degrees.
Talking to Chen Ling and others.
In the past few days, those who watch the green deer in the village have caught a lot of deer and deer, and some people have also caught muntjac.
It’s a little male muntjac.
Originally, I wanted to send them to Chen Ling's house to make a pair for Chen Ling's little mother.
But who knew that this little thing was so timid.
I was frightened by the dog and the goose at home, so I ran around in the yard and hit my head and broke my blood.
Killed myself to death.
There is really nothing we can do, just send meat to Wang Cunye.
Chen Ling also knew that there were so many water towers.
He is like the king of children all day long, leading the children to have dinner at home. The parents, except for those special families, are always thinking about Chen Ling if there are any strange things in the house.
The corn cobs are edible. Send them to him.
When you catch prey, share some with him.
Even if the adults don’t say it, the children still remember their rich uncle.
So even if the prey was not seen on the spot, it would definitely belong to the Chen Ling family.
There are many grass animals in the mountains this year.
Big and small, they are very prosperous.
These days, the corn is gradually getting hard, and it is not as fragrant as when it was tender before, which can attract more wild animals to come down the mountain.
But they didn’t go down the mountain.
People have nothing to do to watch the green grass at night, but they want to attract them to come down the mountain.
Right at the foot of the mountain, pits were dug and salt nests were dug and traps were laid out everywhere beside the ditches in the corn fields.
There are many wild animals in the mountains. Even if there is no shortage of food, if they have trouble finding salt, they will look for salt everywhere.
Domestic animals must be licked with salt, and wild animals in the mountains cannot lack salt.
Usually they can find salt to lick on the rocks high in the mountains.
But how much salt is that?
There is not enough space for so many wild animals to lick and eat.
In this way, in addition to necessary food, salt is also very attractive to them.
The guys who watched Qing used salt nests to catch many deer.
It is said that Wang Juxiang’s family also trapped a wild sheep.
But based on the relationship between his family and Chen Ling, there is no need to say more.
Today, Chen Ling and the others naturally would not sit idle. In addition to necessary patrols, there were many salt nests and traps arranged.
Chen Ling knew better than anyone where the animal path on the outskirts of the mountain forest was.
If he comes and puts the clamp on, he will definitely gain more than anyone else.
When I went to pick up the clips in the morning, I found that every part of the clips, covers, and salt nests were spot on.
Most of them are deer.
Grass deer, sika deer, and a fragrant deer.
There are also small hares and hedgehogs. These two things, especially the hedgehogs, are quite annoying when there are too many of them.
This is just like the little fish making a nest when fishing.
Originally, everyone was going for big prey, but in the end, they all got caught by these things.
Unfortunately, after there are too many of these things, the trap becomes useless.
Are you annoyed?
"Uncle Fugui, look, there are deers."
Chen Yuqiang suddenly exclaimed while standing on the hillside of Xishan Mountain.
Everyone hurriedly looked over.
Sure enough, there are deer stealing corn.
It was foggy in the morning and there was a lot of water vapor. In the corn field, there was a group of sika deer, munching on the corn.
The way they eat corn is very funny.
Like a sheep, it stood up with its front legs as if hugging the corn stalks, and gnawed the corn directly with its mouth.
Some people despise corn.
He raised his head and sniffed at the corn on the stalks.
Looking for sweet, tender corn, that’s their goal.
Sometimes I stand up and smell it.
At this time, Chen Yuqiang shouted, and the deer in the cornfield were instantly alarmed. They screamed and jumped out and fled.
“Bang——”
Chen Ling saw this and took aim, shooting at the deer.
In an instant, a deer fell down in response.
"Good marksmanship."
"Really accurate shooting."
When everyone saw it, they quickly ran into the cornfield to catch the deer. .
The deer was running so fast they had no chance to shoot.
Fortunately, Chen Ling reacted quickly and did not let them all slip away. This means that Chen Ling didn't take the dog with him at night.
I only brought a few weasels over to play.
Otherwise none of the deer in this herd would be able to escape.
‘Squeak, squeak~’
Just as we were talking about the weasel, the cry of the weasel came from not far away.
"You go ahead and disembowel the deer. I'll go to the south and have a look."
Chen Ling shouted and went south along the ditch at the foot of the mountain.
In addition to raising fish, he has recently become very interested in small animals such as weasels.
There is no other reason for this. Ever since I saw those ferocious yellow-throated martens, I feel itchy when I think about it.
I feel that the yellow-throated marten can hunt deer and wild boar, so why should the weasel I raised be any worse?
What’s more, it was raised in the cave.
Indeed, these weasels are not bad at all.
The rabbit that appeared just now may have been harnessed too late and struggled very hard. As soon as Chen Baoliang untied the harness, he was kicked by the hare and was about to limp away.
As a result, he was pinned to the ground by two little weasels and bitten to death before he could even take two steps.
Those deer too.
Grass deer mostly live alone and are wilder and more ferocious than sika deer.
Some of those who had not exhausted their strength were all knocked down by the weasels.
Chen Ling just let them out, and now he didn’t know what he found.
After picking up grass, we followed the ditch and walked into a sweet potato field.
The weasels are jumping up and down here.
Chen Ling walked in and took a look.
A wolf and a dog died here.
The wolf is also an old wolf, thin and old, and the dog is a native dog in the village, an ordinary one, just an ordinary big yellow dog.
The weasels were standing on the old wolf's body, asking for credit from Chen Ling.
"Did you kill this wolf?"
Chen Ling took a closer look and saw the wounds on his neck. In addition to the obvious wounds left by dogs, there were indeed weasels. Bite marks left behind.
"Hey, you did a good job, but you have to be a little more fierce in the future. Just a little more fierce."
Chen Ling was satisfied with catching them one by one. Touch and express appreciation.
Weasels and yellow-throated martens differ except in size.
There are also differences in their respective concepts.
The yellow-throated marten is extremely courageous and dares to hunt prey several times larger than itself.
Weasels don’t have this concept. Just find some mice, birds, insects, etc. to fill their stomachs and that’s it.
At most, attack some beast cubs.
Any bigger and they won't work.
What Chen Ling has to do is to make them more fierce and bolder.
But after praising these little guys.
Chen Ling looked at the wolf and dog on the ground and frowned, "Why are there old wolves coming down the mountain again?"
"Are there so many old wolves eliminated in the mountains this year? They have to come down the mountain. Grab food? ”
Full of doubts in his heart, he squatted down and started playing with the wolf and the dog to check the situation carefully.
Just at this time, Chen Ze and others came over.
"Fugui, I recognized it. It was the land of the second aunt's family. Although her two boys returned to the village this year, the corn was planted later than other families. No wonder those sika deer were eating there. Baoguli...
It turns out that her family’s ones are tenderer than others’ ones.”
Chen Ze said as he walked.
When I came here, I saw that Chen Ling was silent and there were two dogs lying in front of him. I thought it was Chen Ling's dog that was in trouble, so they all ran over, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Another wolf came down the mountain, old wolf."
Chen Ling stood up and patted the dirt on his hands: "He also killed a dog."
"Dog? Why did the dog come here? "Come?"
Chen Baoliang was stunned for a moment, but then fell silent. He remembered when he asked Chen Ling why he brought the weasel last night.
I heard Chen Ling talk about how he went to the mountains to squat with yellow-throated martens a while ago and what he saw on the animal trail.
It is not just beasts that walk on the beast path.
The animal trails outside the mountain forest are relatively safe. The dogs and cats in the village often pass by there when they go up the mountain to find food.
This dog obviously didn’t have enough to eat during the day and went up the mountain to look for food at night.
I happened to meet the old wolf coming down the mountain.
"There are their footprints next to the clip here. On the clip is a small muntjac. Only the head was left after being bitten. It must have been eaten by the wolf.
The dog came over after smelling the smell. The fight started.”
Seeing the weasel running to the other side to lead them, Chen Ling walked over and took a look and knew what was probably going on.
“Good guy, this old wolf is quite ferocious.”
Chen Ze bulged his eyes, then kicked the wolf: “This dog can be trained to be a good hunting dog if it can climb the mountain by itself. Yes, let it bite to death.”
"A wolf is a wolf after all, but it should be considered that both sides suffer..."
Chen Ling said.
The wolf was not completely dead, and his own weasel killed him with a last hit.
“This is the second time this year that an old wolf has gone down the mountain. As you know, the last time was when the Tateyama family was gored to death by the old boar.”
“Old wolf, old wolf ...You have to pay attention.”
Chen Ling didn't say something, and everyone understood it.
Who among the people who live near the mountains does not know the ferocity of wolves?
Don’t think that you don’t care about the lone wolf coming down the mountain and relax your vigilance.
Lone wolves are the most harmful to people.
Especially the old wolf and the hungry wolf are very cunning.
Most of the people who steal children are this kind of wolf.
When wolf gangs commit crimes, they will attack livestock.
When it comes to attacking people, we can’t say there are none. Relatively speaking, there are relatively few.
"It's autumn harvest, everyone should be alert. It's okay to look green. Don't let this beast come into the house. There are children at home."
Chen Ling is here. The joy of a bumper harvest in his heart was also diluted: "After the autumn harvest, if there are still old wolves like this coming down the mountain, then we have to go into the mountain to see what is going on.
< br>
If you have an old wolf, choose this type of wolf to kill. "
"Okay, I won't go out to work this year. I just go hunting with you Fugui. ”
Chen Ze responded loudly.
Everyone took this matter to heart.
Old wolves belong to the old, weak, sick and disabled members of the wolf pack, and they have lost a lot. Without the ability to hunt large beasts, there are so many wild animals in the mountains that they can only look at them helplessly.
And in order to prevent his own life from being harvested by the same kind or other ferocious beasts.
Many of them will come down the mountain and attack the elderly and children in the village. (End of this chapter)
