"Fugui, stop messing with those hornet's nests. Come and see what's going on with these turtles?"
On the slope, in Old Man Zhong's small courtyard, Zhao Yubao used a flashlight to look at the shallow turtle pond made of bluestone. shouted forward.
On the other hand, Chen Ling and Mr. Zhong were digging at the hornet's nest under the lamp, using bamboo skewers to pick out the white and tender bee pupae from the holes, and put them into the bowl at their feet.
When I heard the shouting, I stood up and walked over: "What's wrong?"
As soon as I asked the question, I saw a pond full of various turtles, one pressing on me and the other on you. They hugged each other in twos and threes like stacks of Arhats.
"Hey, Uncle Zhao, you were so surprised. I thought something was wrong. It was the tortoises pairing up."
"Ah? It's already autumn, and the weather has turned colder. How can we match them?" "
Zhao Yubao was confused when he heard this.
"Of course they mate. They usually mate in the autumn. They will lay eggs after summer next year. You forgot that when you came this year, before and after the wheat harvest, you were picking turtle eggs in the wheat field. It's time."
Chen Ling said with a smile.
"Huh? So it turns out that they are mated at this time. In other words, they are mated at this time, and they will not be born until next summer?"
"Yes, after all, tortoises have to hibernate. It crawls back into the hole or hides in the corner of the corner, and doesn't move. It will come out when the weather gets warm next spring. After spring and March, the nutrition will be better, and then it will lay eggs."
"Then in the middle. The time is really long, I always thought this thing was very fast."
Zhao Yubao scratched his head, there was no way, the old man was also a bit naive in this kind of thing.
While the two were talking, Old Man Zhong hurried over to take a look, "Good guy, good guy, I really showed you, Old Zhao, what's going on today."
These turtles were brought over from the dog farm by the bobcats.
After Zhao Yubao raised wheat field tortoises, his interest was gradually aroused, and he ran to the Zhong family yard every day to feed the tortoises.
The main reason is that the old man is addicted to fishing. There are more and more fish in the small river they dug down the slope. It is simple to get some small miscellaneous fish. It is very enjoyable to watch those turtles snatching food.
Today I really found out the problem.
“The environment here is better. Ever since Sanzi got a dog farm to raise dogs, your aunt and I have basically gone to the dog farm every day to help him feed his dogs over the years. We have never seen a pair of tortoises. Yes.
Still so many turtles paired together.
Tsk, tsk, and it grows very fast. Lao Zhao, have you noticed? It has only been about a month since Sanzi brought the turtle here, and this little turtle has grown so much. "
Old man Zhong said, and soon his old lady and Du Juan came over to take a look.
"The environment is good, and Uncle Zhao feeds it well. ”
Chen Ling smiled and took a small turtle into his hand. This turtle was half the size of a hand. It was a yellow-throated turtle. It turned out to be even smaller.
Generally, turtles grow very fast in summer when the temperature is high.
Especially female turtles, they grow up so fast.
Zhao Yubao was flattered by the praise: "Haha, how are your two turtles? I haven't seen your fish tank recently."
"...What turtles? It’s called a pig-nosed turtle, and it’s been raised well, and it’s not so timid now. Uncle Zhao, you’ll find out if you have time to go take a look tomorrow.”
Chen Ling only recently discovered that this is the case. Pig-nosed turtles are actually quite special. They don’t eat much small fish and shrimps.
On the contrary, the aquatic plants in the fish tank and the duckweed plants on the surface are often eaten by them.
It eats them more ferociously than the mullet fish that specializes in eating these.
But fortunately, Chen Ling's waterscape tank is different from ordinary people's. The water also contains spiritual water, and those aquatic plants grow like crazy.
These aquatic plants love to eat, but they just suppress the crazy growing aquatic plants.
"Fugui, your second brother has steamed meat buns again. Call Teacher Zhao, Professor Zhong and others, come over and eat."
At this moment, a mother-in-law's voice came from a small yard far away across the way. She was the daughter-in-law of Chen Xiaoer's family.
Chen Ling laughed loudly after hearing this, and was not polite at all: "Okay, I will go over to eat later. Is there enough steamed food? Is it enough for me to take home?"
< br>After the words fell, there was laughter here.
There was also Chen Xiaoer's angrily scolding voice over there, scolding his wife.
Chen Ling and the others laughed even more happily.
"Our dinner is actually ready here. We made some noodle soup, and the fried fish your father-in-law gave us has not yet been finished. We have to eat it quickly."
The old lady of Zhao Yubao's family also said.
Chen Ling immediately clapped his hands: "That's just right. I'll go to the second brother later to get some meat buns. It would be great to eat them together."
"Hahaha, rich and noble You, the waiter is talking about you behind my back again.”
“Hey, Lao Zhao, you don’t understand. For such a stingy person, you have to eat and drink with him. For someone as generous as Fugui, We’re embarrassed, right?”
"What old Uncle Zhong said is absolutely right... Hey, no, why do I think you are trying to trick me in some way?"
"No, no, absolutely not."
So Chen Ling and the two old men happily went to Chen Xiaoer's house to eat some big meat buns.
Not to mention, apart from the vinegar-braised noodles, Chen Xiaoer’s steamed buns are one of the best. When you bite open the skin of the steamed buns, you will find a ball of meat. It is so fragrant and oily.
People are just too stingy.
This man has been like this since he was a child, and it is said that his father is also like this. He is loyal to his friends, but his stingy temper cannot be changed no matter what.
His father is also very funny. He has a high fever and is almost in a fever.
The son and daughter-in-law who stayed with him in bed could not remember.
But Chen Xiaoer’s partner Lao Mao’s visit was clearly remembered.
As soon as I asked, I said, Lao Mao must remember it. Lao Mao came to visit me and gave me 30,000 yuan.
...stingy and money-obsessed, that's it.
After talking, talking and making trouble, it is still very relaxing and happy to get along together.
Only Chen Xiaoer's son Daxu is still very naive. He sniffed when he saw Chen Ling, hugged his legs and cried and complained, saying that Ruirui stopped playing with him recently.
Same, Ruirui and her brothers and sisters at home were playing crazy. The three little guys slept together, so they couldn't think of him as a silly boy.
But Chen Ling had a short mouth for eating people today. After taking a few meat buns, he took the silly boy back to the farm and asked him to follow Ruirui and the three of them to tinker with the buns. Little quails, catching puppies to nurse, or arranging turtles of all sizes in a row...
Anyway, let them have fun.
He went upstairs to have dinner with Wang Susu, changed the diapers of Kang Kanglele's two babies, and took the time to write a reply to the animal husbandry magazine and some new articles.
It’s rare for him to have this interest recently, and he’s in better shape than when he was at school writing essays, so naturally he wants to write more.
......
Chen Ling still has this leisurely elegance at home.
Wei Jun in the county seat was more unlucky.
It can be said that ever since his wife caught him having sex with men and women, his life has not been going well.
Many people are very sensitive when they encounter setbacks.
It felt like everyone was looking at him with ridicule, and it felt like all his acquaintances were laughing at him.
Especially people like Wei Jun.
Just after he succeeded, he encountered another 'blow', which was naturally more serious.
At that time, he was caught in the act by his pregnant wife and wanted to keep the baby in her belly. When he met Chen Ling, Chen Ling did not help him.
Although Chen Ling does not have this connection, nor does he have the ability.
But he didn't believe that Chen Ling was really incompetent.
I just felt that Chen Ling did it on purpose and was watching his joke.
It was to avenge his 'contempt' in Fenglei Town.
So I held a grudge and couldn't stand it. During the county temple fair some time ago, I spread rumors about Chen Ling.
Originally, such rumors spread quickly and are quite lethal.
But who knew it was only a National Day.
Chen Ling actually made a big fuss again, appearing on TV and in newspapers. Although Chen Ling himself did not show his face, everyone knew that Chen Ling was thinking about the village. He tried various ways to increase the income of the villagers, and found someone to harvest the wild fruits in the mountains.
It is said that other villages also want it if they send it to them.
This is so bad. How can people remember the dirty water that was poured on Chen Ling?
A lot of effort was wasted and useless work was done.
The more Wei Jun thought about it, the angrier he became. In the past few days, he had been thinking about how to deal with Chen Ling.
yes.
When you are jealous of someone, you just want to drag him into a pit and trample him to death.
There is nothing sensible at this time.
But think about the rumors about Chen Ling. The animals he raises, whether they are dogs, cows or horses that like to bully people, are not easy to mess with.
Wei Jun did not dare to go to the village.
Then let’s stay in the county seat.
He wanted to be more direct this time, that is, when it was dark and no one was around, he would write something scary to Chen Ling.
Then he thought about writing something on the wall outside the house of the two children who were close to Chen Ling.
In other words, I feel that Chen Ling, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun were not enough to spread rumors before.
I also write on people’s doors.
It made their house restless.
Even if you have a good relationship with Chen Ling, your family will probably have opinions about Chen Ling.
This is indeed a disgusting method.
Wei Jun was carrying a paint bucket while writing and drawing on the outer wall of the Chengnan campus. He was thinking excitedly and felt that he had finally let out a bad breath.
Just when he was secretly feeling happy, there were sudden rapid footsteps behind him, which scared him all over.
Just as he was about to find a place to hide, when he turned around and took a peek, he saw a black stick calling towards him.
Li Zhongyi hit him hard with the stick. Not only did he hit hard, but he also cursed fiercely.
Learn the local mantra of scolding little devils.
"You are a shame to your ancestors, you stinky bastard who has no conscience, go to hell."
While cursing, the stick in his hand beat Wei Jun until he ran away with his head in his arms.
But Li Zhongyi was tall and powerful, and Miyoko Chishima made a sneak attack.
This Japanese woman is very powerful when she gets angry.
When Old Qingzhuan was called, he felt that it was not satisfying, so he kicked him and then scratched his face.
Wei Jun was so frightened that he thought he had met Chen Ling and his wife, so he rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, fearing that he would be beaten to death by Chen Ling.
He had heard that Chen Ling was very strong and could hit people hard.
Old men dare to break their legs.
So I hid and called people at the same time.
It is next to the school and near a residential area, so there are naturally a lot of people.
But it was his turn to be unlucky today.
His shout not only attracted the locals, but also the bosses who were looking for talks with the county leaders.
This is a big deal.
I heard that someone had done this to Chen Ling’s home.
These old guys all rolled up their sleeves and started to fight. This group of people hadn't fought for a long time. Once they started fighting, they became more and more addicted. They took turns to punch and kick.
What can I say about this situation? It can only be said that Wei Jun has caught up today.
The final battle situation was too scary.
However, as a young man, Li Zhongyi was afraid that he would get into trouble if he beat someone up, so he stopped them to rest and asked them to drive and call Chen Ling over to deal with it.
“It’s too late now, it’s dark, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. If you ask me, put this bastard who did bad things... Bah, bah, bah, no, it’s this bitch who’s tied up here. On the telephone pole, let him freeze for a night.
We will go to the village to call Brother Chen over tomorrow. "
"Why don't we report the crime now? Urgent, it’s not too late to report the crime tomorrow. Who knows if this bad son of a bitch has any accomplices? Let’s tie him up first.”
That being said, there are definitely no accomplices.
Just a random excuse.
So Chen Ling was notified the next morning and when he rode over on horseback, Wei Jun, who had been frozen all night, was no longer human.
With a bruised nose and swollen face, his head was hanging down and he was tied to a telephone pole and fell asleep.
With this look, there is no need for him to take action anymore. If he does, he might really get killed.
Chen Ling was too lazy to talk nonsense to such people.
I went directly to report the case and asked the police to take the person away.
With so many people testifying physical evidence, there is nothing much to say. In short, after this incident, Wei Jun will no longer be able to survive in the system.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Captain Li and the others also searched the old boy’s room and found explicit articles he had compiled about Chen Ling and other women.
Chen Ling looked speechless.
There was even an unreasonable association, thinking of Wu Zhiwu Dalang and his wife being rumored to be Jin Ping Mei.
Fortunately, fortunately, Wei Jun's stupid article was written in a rigid manner and not so exciting.
Otherwise if word gets out, he won’t know how to tell others in the future.
"Young man, I have no grudge against this bitch. As for hating me so much?"
After Chen Ling returned to the village, he was still depressed when talking about this matter. Very.
I didn't recruit him or mess with him, so I can't figure it out.
His wife is an old classmate of Wang Susu. They are acquaintances who have met before, and there is no deep hatred.
“Hey, brother, this guy is like this. Sometimes it’s the acquaintances around you who want to put you to death.
Just like a few of us, business is done well. Not bad.
You said we became paupers overnight. Are our relatives and friends sad or happy? ”
"Okay, I'm afraid many people will laugh out loud sadly."
Chen Ling nodded. It's not that he couldn't wrap his head around it, and he couldn't figure out such a simple truth.
I just don’t understand how this kind of human brain circuit can make me feel like I have a deep hatred for him.
“Haha, I’m still in the mood to joke. That proves that you haven’t been affected much... Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. When I came back just now, I heard that another old wolf was killed in the village. We want to go there. Let’s take a look.”
“Oh, yes, I have to go and take a look. Not only did I catch an old wolf, I heard that I also caught a leopard.”
Chen Ling took a sip of water and walked out. Recently, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the mountains have been eliminated too quickly.
In the past, wolves were okay and could be seen occasionally.
When you look far away on a clear day, you can sometimes see groups of wolves running in the mountains and forests, or drinking water by the river in the distance.
But the leopard was nowhere to be seen.
This thing can climb trees, run far, cross rivers and climb mountains just like walking on flat ground, and is even more concealable.
But now, not only did he see it, but he was also caught.
In the past, even old hunters would not dare to catch this.
