This is a good year.
After harvesting in autumn and planting wheat, everyone in and outside the village is still busy.
Pick wild fruits, clean fish ponds, pick mountain mushrooms...
In addition to farming, most country people have no fixed source of income and do whatever they can to make money.
This year, Chen Ling finally managed to find so many "free money" deals in the mountains. How could they afford to rest?
Not to mention people from my own village, people from other villages, other villages and towns also ran to Chenwangzhuang.
Some were driving carts, or riding bicycles with baskets, and some even came carrying burdens.
They are all wild fruits, mountain products and the like.
Although it is not as lively as a market or a temple fair, people come and go every day. People come and go on the dam from morning to dark.
As a result, there are many fewer waterbirds in the reservoir than before.
In such an atmosphere, and the fact that he could see the money he earned every day falling into his own hands, even Chen Ling's family was affected.
My second uncle, Wang Qingzhong, and his wife were not willing to have any more leisure time, so they hurried back from Fenglei Town.
My uncle Wang Qingwen and his wife also came over to see their parents.
Wang Cunye now doesn’t have to collect herbs from all over the mountains and fields, nor does he have to go to the fields very much. His health is much better, and his legs and feet are also agile.
The brothers knew that their parents enjoyed more happiness with their sister and brother-in-law than in the mountains, so they were happy to let them live here.
As for the two daughters-in-law, they didn't have the old couple to take care of their children anymore, so they didn't have any complaints in their hearts.
My sister-in-law is very good in every aspect and will always think of them no matter what happens.
In the past, the two old people always felt that it was not good to live in their son-in-law's house.
I am afraid that people will say that my two sons are still living in my daughter’s house. Are the sons and daughters-in-law unfilial?
Old people are more concerned about this.
In addition, people in my hometown and the village are always gossiping, saying that my son-in-law is rich and they don't want to go back to live in his house.
This sounds very angry, and it doesn’t make sense to reason with others.
Fortunately, I looked away later.
I told my two sons that since their brother-in-law is determined to make money with them, the whole family should work together and work hard together.
Make money quickly in the past two years, so hurry up and seize the opportunity to make money.
If things don't go so well in two years, it will be time to regret it again.
In short, let’s talk about reality first, and then talk about other things.
Wang Qingwen and Wang Qingzhong now have a tacit understanding. In addition, Wang Qingzhong brought back the money he earned during the National Day. After the two brothers divided the money, it was even more exciting.
Think about everything.
The two brothers have reached a tacit agreement that whoever is more convenient will come to Chenwangzhuang to help his brother-in-law.
Even if my parents don’t go home for the New Year at the end of the year, it’ll be fine.
If you are rich, celebrate the New Year every day.
In fact, does Wang Qingzhong earn a lot of money?
Not a lot.
But the people in the mountains are afraid of poverty.
Having hope and earning it through one’s own hands is so encouraging.
When I came to Chenwangzhuang this time, I saw the atmosphere in the village again, my dear, my heart became even hotter.
While you are young, make more money as soon as possible, otherwise you will be like your brother-in-law Li Xian in the village, who could hardly afford to raise his children in the first two years.
The second uncle and his wife came back and stayed.
Liang Hongyu’s family left because it was time for the two fat boys to go back to school in the city.
After being sent back, Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu also returned to the county town, but they still came to the village every day.
Sometimes I help with the kids, sometimes I pick up eggs, herd cattle and sheep, and sometimes I follow Wang Qingzhong and his wife to study the various new spicy noodles they have made.
It was under such circumstances that Chen Ling entered the mountain.
The support at home is open.
He came out on the pretext of releasing the leopard.
Undoubtedly, the family was worried because this time he not only brought the weasel, but also Heiwa Xiaojin and Erbaldi.
I followed him to the city a few times, and now the bald man can deliver messages to others.
After trying it a few times, Chen Ling found it novel and fun.
"Huh? Fugui is back so soon? Did the leopard let go again?"
Chen Ling was walking on Nanshan and met Chen Dazhi and Chen Baoshuan, who were in the bamboo forest. Cut bamboo.
"Yes, let him go."
Chen Ling responded and walked over.
"You really let it go. We all thought you had to keep the leopard at home like a tiger."
Chen Dazhi said while slashing the bamboo with his knife .
“I would like to raise one, but my family won’t let me. They say I have to feed raw meat every day for fear of hurting people. It’s different from the tigers that grew up in the zoo.”
What Chen Ling told the village was to release the leopard into the barren mountains near Tenghe Township.
There is a big river there and there are few villages, like Kinmen Village and Taohuagou beside the Jinshui River.
There are few people and the large forest behind stretches to the west, which is suitable for releasing wild animals.
Otherwise if we put it in a nearby mountain, the leopard might come back.
It has this record.
Everyone is worried.
If Chen Ling doesn’t want to raise it, he’d better stay away.
I just went out for a formality this morning. Not to mention Tenghe Township, I didn’t even leave Changle Township, so I just threw the leopard into the cave.
Along the Jinshui River, we let horses and eagles fly, bought some fried dough sticks and steamed buns, and then came back.
"What are you doing cutting bamboo? You are not picking those wild fruits..."
"Get some little gadgets like birdcages and pen holders. Your friend Lao Zhoute likes them and says they can give them as gifts."
Chen Baoshuan said with a smile: "Bring those bosses with you too. Brother Dazhi and I will make some peace charms and carve them with turtles, cranes, fish and shrimps.”
“Okay, this is more profitable than picking fruits.”
Chen Ling's eyes lit up and he patted him on the shoulder, "It seems that your skills have improved again, Baoshuan. Even someone as picky as Lao Zhou can fall in love with your gadgets."
"Hehe. , I learned from Brother Dazhi. Besides, those people are also here for you. Many of them are willing to spend money to buy our things because of your face.”
Chen Baoshuan said.
"Look, Fugui, this kid is so good at talking now."
Chen Dazhi chopped down a bamboo and raised his thick eyebrows.
Chen Ling laughed and said, "Yes, I also noticed that Baoshuan can make people happy."
This made Chen Baoshuan blush and became embarrassed.
In fact, these are really what he thinks.
If Chen Ling and Chen Dazhi hadn't taken care of him, the village wouldn't have been so quick to accept him if he had done those things before.
Of course he also knows that the two of them are just joking with him now.
The three of them chatted and joked for a while, and then they teased Heiwa and Xiaojin, and then went down the mountain carrying the bamboo.
Chen Ling continued to wander in the mountains with the dog.
In order to reassure his family this time, he did not go to Beishan and came directly to Nanshan.
There are deer in Nanshan.
There are many prey.
Although there were wolves coming down the mountain a few days ago, they are not in the north after all. Next to the Daqin Mountains, there are relatively few large beasts.
Plus there are two big dogs following us, so the family is not so worried.
Chen Ling didn't care about this.
There are a lot of prey in the mountains this year, and it’s also nice to visit Nanshan.
Anyway, sooner or later he will go around to the Daqin Mountains in the north.
“Except for grazing cattle and horses, we don’t go deep here much.”
Chen Ling muttered in his heart, suddenly thinking that when he came, he saw the reservoir dam flying. A large flock of swallows.
"Oh, yes, all kinds of birds in the cave have reproduced for several times, so we need to release a batch of them."
I haven't paid attention to the birds in the cave for a while, and when I threw the leopard into the cave, Only then did I realize that there were so many birds by the lake, it was amazing.
There are few threats to survival in Cave Sky.
They breed in an exaggerated way.
It can be cut off almost continuously throughout the year, one nest after another.
When there was no Ruirui at home, for a while, Chen Ling especially liked to go out with a slingshot to shoot birds.
Once you are familiar with the slingshot, you will also have skill.
It won’t be like the beginning, where the bird’s head will be knocked off at once, making it miserable. Many times, it can save the bird's life.
At that time, Chen Ling stuffed whatever birds he caught into the cave.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s beautiful or not.
What kind of sparrows, swallows, earth swallows, gray horses, turtle doves, magpies, crows, tits...
Everything is available.
Put it inside when you hit it.
When we were building a farm later, we even used bird nets to catch birds for a while.
There are more types.
"There are few threats in the cave sky. Let them go outside and let them breed new races. At the same time, let the birds of prey in the sky also have a taste of delicious food."
Chen Ling thought interestingly, and then Just like a magician on stage, conjuring pigeons.
Walk a few steps and release a large flock of birds.
Put it away as you go.
Let them fly everywhere above your head.
The two Heiwa and the weasels looked around curiously. Their eyes were unblinking, they were licking their tongues and humming. They must have wanted to rush forward and catch two of them.
“Look at your greedy looks.”
Chen Ling laughed, then caught two turtle doves and took them out. First he threw them to Heiwa Xiaojin, then he took out two more, one Let the five weasels share the food, and throw one to the two bald men.
Feed the little things.
Chen Ling continued to move forward, waiting for the birds in the cave to be released.
He began to throw some fish and shrimp into the mountain stream again.
“When birds are released to improve the genes of local populations, we must not forget about fish and shrimps.”
Chen Ling is now slowly letting go of his hands and feet, and he really likes to do this.
In the past, he had little knowledge and always felt that if he gave away too many good things, outsiders would become suspicious if they were too conspicuous.
There is nothing wrong with this idea. You must be careful when guarding your huge treasure.
Later, after getting to know Shan Mao and Professor Han, he slowly understood that his worries were a bit unnecessary.
To put it bluntly, he knew too little at the time, and his worries were unfounded.
As he learned more and more, he discovered that many things also have regional characteristics.
Just like Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs.
There is also local yellow beef.
All have obvious regional characteristics.
If we talk about medicinal materials again, there are even more examples.
In a word, these things are developing slowly, and in many cases it can be summed up by the local environment.
Jiangnan scenery can be seen in deserts, and many places in snow areas have a Jiangnan climate.
The Daqinling Mountains are rich in species and there are too many unknown things...
So there is nothing to worry about in this day and age.
While walking, birds, fish and shrimps are released.
Chen Ling also gets some fruits from Dongtian from time to time and eats them while walking, which is quite pleasant.
The only thing he wasn’t very satisfied with was that there were a little less prey in Nanshan than usual. He didn’t see any decent group of large deer for half a morning. He only saw the solitary barking deer and deer, far away. Run away far away.
The quantity of these two gadgets was small, and Chen Ling was not very interested in them.
It is more enjoyable to attack the larger herds of deer and wild boars.
"Woof woof..."
As he walked to a spacious stream, Hei Wa suddenly barked twice at the other side.
Xiao Jin glanced quietly and followed Chen Ling's feet without saying a word.
Seeing that the two dogs didn't react much, Chen Ling walked up to a higher place, squinted his eyes and saw a familiar figure running away in panic.
"It's that old wild boar."
Chen Ling smiled, "The scenery in Nanshan is good, but it's not as lively as the opposite. Let's go north."
Wade across the water.
When they arrived at Xishan Mountain, Chen Ling saw Hei Wa running to where the old wild boar was, picking up something in his mouth and running back.
"Pheasant?"
Chen Ling took a look and saw that the pheasant had eaten half of its pieces.
It is not uncommon for wild boars to eat meat, but the neck of this pheasant...
"This is...the one they saw a few days ago only sucked blood and did not eat meat. Pheasant..."
Chen Ling picked it up and threw it back to the ground in disgust.
Wild boar saliva is so smelly.
As soon as he threw it back to the ground and wiped his hands with the leaves, Xiao Jin, who had been silent until now, started to whine in a low voice.
At this moment, Chen Ling had a strange thought in his heart.
Seeing Xiao Jin’s reaction, he asked Xiao Jin to lead the way and follow him.
In the past year, Xiao Jin has become more and more calm.
Usually barking loudly at home is rare.
It usually reacts this way when it makes a big discovery.
Heiwa and the five weasels crawling on him were very confused, and they seemed to have not noticed anything different.
That’s true.
The little gold belt is far away.
Traveling through the Xishan Mountains for a long time, heading west and north and even crossing the Shanzhong Lake, heading straight to the Daqin Mountains.
Once around the Yamanaka Lake, Hei Wa had a reaction.
Crying eagerly and excitedly.
Crossing ravines and streams one after another, he also ran very fast on the hills, chasing after Xiao Jin.
Er Baldy, who had already flown out to investigate the situation, also flew back at this time, dropped a prey, and then circled down.
"Holy shit, half a deer was chewed into such a miserable state... What did you discover?"
Chen Ling was so curious that he was chewed by a pheasant that sucked blood and didn't eat meat. Half of the deer has been lost. There have been a lot of strange things in the mountains recently.
So he quickly chased in the direction of Xiaojin and the two dogs.
Chasing all the way, Chen Ling was familiar with the roads in the mountains, but this year not only were there more wild animals in the mountains, but the vegetation was also more prosperous. He could not move as fast as the two dogs.
Hurrying up and slowly catching up finally caught up.
It went deep into the Daqin Mountains.
......
A big mountain, a high and steep mountain. The footprints and excrement of wild animals are everywhere in the forest. The air in the forest is also very humid, but there is no fishy smell of wild animal excrement. , the air here carries the fragrance of vegetation.
The bright autumn sunshine shines through the dense forest, the light spots are flashing, and the birds are singing incessantly.
It can be said that the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
After arriving here, Heiwa and Xiaojin slowed down, walking quietly and sniffing, as if they were hunting.
At first, Chen Ling was wondering what was going on and how he could run so far.
Seeing the two guys like this, I quietly took the gun in my hand.
But after following the two dogs around the mountain seven times and eight times, they climbed higher and higher, and the mountain became steeper and steeper.
From a distance, I saw a herd of wild sheep walking down the steeply sloping hillside.
In front of the wild sheep herd was a huge herd of deer...
Maybe it wasn’t just one herd, but several herds of deer gathered together, mostly sika deer with a few grass deer mixed in.
Chen Ling could even see the tall antlers of several big male deer.
The deer and sheep are separated by almost ten meters.
Chen Ling looked around and saw that the woods were blocking the way. Although the front was open, the deer herd was so large that he couldn't count how many there were at once.
But here are not just wild sheep and deer, but also mountain donkeys with their calves that flutter down from the high mountain walls.
Chen Ling also saw a furry head with golden hair and black markings that retracted among the dense leaves.
It’s either a clouded leopard or a leopard.
Farther away in the pine forest, there were also wolves wandering back and forth with small steps. First one popped up and looked around, and then a dozen of them appeared one after another, hiding and approaching quietly.
“What’s going on?!”
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Are they all here to hold an animal conference?"
This scene really shocked Chen Ling, no wonder Nanshan Deer The group was gone, and I didn’t see any larger wild animals when I came from the west mountain. It turned out that they all came here.
