Chapter 720 is finally here
The Rebirth of the Eagle is a very 'fantasy' article that Chen Ling saw.
It belongs to the category of inspirational chicken soup articles.
It is said that the life span of an eagle is seventy years.
But when the eagle is forty years old, its talons begin to age and cannot catch prey, its beak becomes curved and long, making it unable to eat, and its wings become heavy, making it unable to fly.
At this time, the eagle needs to break its long and curved beak. After experiencing a lot of pain, when the new beak grows back, it plucks out the increasingly heavy feathers and replaces them with new ones. The aging talons are also plucked out. , replaced with sharp new claws.
This process will last one hundred and fifty days.
If you can't survive this period, the eagle will die.
If you survive it, you will be reborn in thirty years.
Chen Ling told this statement as an interesting anecdote to Professor Shanmao and Professor Han during that meal.
I also want to ask if it is true.
It’s too fantasy after all.
Although it sounds very enjoyable, for people like Chen Ling who like to read martial arts novels, replacing the aging feathers and beak claws and growing new ones is a real break from the past. .
More energy.
At that time, Professor Han and Shanmao laughed after hearing this and thought it was ridiculous.
It is said that an eagle's beak is different from a human's tooth. It is connected to the entire skull. If the beak is broken, the eagle will die.
The aging of the eagle's claws is also nonsense.
An eagle's claws are like human nails. Once they grow, they will wear them off on trees and rocks.
There is no such thing as aging.
As for the feathers being heavy and unable to fly, that is even more nonsense.
Eagles are no different from most birds. They can moult their feathers on their own. When any feather is old and no longer useful, it will fall off on its own, just like human hair loss.
So this story is purely a layman’s imagination.
Although this story is meant to encourage people, it is limited to the spirit of daring to throw away the old and welcome the new life. The content of the story cannot be believed.
Chen Ling was very impressed by this.
As soon as Professor Zhong mentioned it, he immediately remembered it.
"Uncle Zhong means that the bald guy moulted his hair on his own?"
Chen Ling looked ridiculous: "Isn't that story false? Besides, it moults its hair one by one. "
Old Zhong spoke again, curling his lips in disgust: "What virtues have you forgotten about the eagle you raised? Have you forgotten that it often burrows into wild honeycombs? The feathers on the body are getting longer and harder, and you are not afraid of the stings of wild bees. Have you forgotten?"
Chen Ling's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this.
“Holy shit!”
"That's right!"
Erbaldy likes to dig into the nests of wild bees. In addition to eating some hardened honey, he also likes to eat the pupae of bees.
After he became bald for the second time, he was raised by Dongtian to have hard and dense feathers.
Chen Ling said several times that it has iron feathers and is not afraid of bee stings at all. It is simply a bee killer.
As for the tiankeng, due to the humid environment in some tiankeng, some even formed their own microclimate at the bottom of the pit...
It is relatively humid and hot, and the temperature is higher than outside.
Many snakes and bees will build nests in it, and there are many honeycombs on the mountain wall.
Not only bees, but also wasps and various types of poisonous bees are plentiful.
"Uncle Zhong, what you mean is..."
"What I mean is that your bald guy didn't pluck his hair by himself unless he encountered some big poisonous bee. The giant venomous wasp is so powerful that it can drill through wooden pillars.”
What the old man said was quite reasonable, and Zhao Yubao nodded frequently.
Sneered and said: "You kid, you might as well understand the bald man like us, just let us raise him from now on."
Chen Ling ignored him and said: "You old man knows how to cheat. Just cheat."
Just when Zhao Yubao was about to blow his beard and glare, Ruirui, who was eavesdropping on their conversation while letting his mother put on his cotton-padded jacket, also laughed out loud.
“Okay, brat, do you dare to laugh at me?”
Zhao Yubao stretched out his hand and tickled him.
How could Rui Rui be afraid of him? He laughed and dodged while scratching with his little hands to resist. He only had a bad look towards Yu Qian, but towards others, Rui Rui could play with anyone.
One old man and one young man started to make a fuss.
Chen Ling himself had to go out to buy building materials today, so he didn't sit around at home with them.
Anyway, the current situation of the bald man is that he can only be raised slowly at home, and there is no need to guard him all the time.
There is no shortage of food and drink at home.
Let’s wait until the feathers grow back.
I packed up my things, put Ah Fu and Ah Shou into the mountains again, and then drove out on the tractor.
Before going out, I asked the two old men to take the black cat back to the village and let He Jiawen and the others see what it was.
The county where Chen Ling drove his tractor first.
Go to the county public security brigade to find Li Weiguo and ask him to help find someone to find out about the man in Tenghe Township who was on a blind date with Da Nier.
Let the captain ask first, and then let the old man ask.
With Lao Ba’s working as a mule and horse, the fellow villagers give him face, and sometimes he can ask questions better than the police captain.
Sometimes even if Li Weiguo finds the police station in Tenghe Township and someone goes to help inquire, he may not be able to tell the truth.
So Chen Ling made two preparations.
However, Li Weiguo has always been very kind to Chen Ling. Before he left the city, he took him to remind him that the workers in the mines in Wangba City have been going home one after another recently. Be careful on the road. Many villages know that those workers carry money. There are many tribulations.
It is like this every winter in March, with many workers returning to their hometowns.
After making money in Wangba City, the climate here in March in winter is more suitable for building houses, so I went back to prepare to build houses by myself.
For example, if the river water level is shallow and sand is exposed in some places, you can pull two loads of sand for free.
Or pick a suitable beam or something.
Compared to the hard work in the mines, this can be considered a break.
From the villages below Chen Ling's county, there are very few people who go to Wangba City to mine.
Work outside if you can. If you can go to work in Huangni Town, go to work. Even if you have to work day and night, it is better than working in the mines. The mines over there in Tortoise City are not generally dangerous.
The geology over there is not very good to begin with.
The little devil was looking for minerals there before, but even if he found it, he didn't dare to mine it easily.
Of course the little devils behind have no chance.
Just stayed.
After so many years of mining, it has become increasingly dangerous there, and countless people die every year.
In addition, the explosives used in their mines were too strong, and the mountains were randomly exploded. After entering the mine, they collapsed immediately.
Even if it doesn't collapse, the body won't be able to endure the long hours of mining every day.
I heard from Little Sheep that there was a restaurant owner on the Yanhe Avenue in Kuliu County. He had been working in the mines for a long time, and the root of the disease was in his lungs. He had trouble every autumn and winter, and needed infusions every day.
It is said that it was the same when I was working in the mines. I worked in the mines during the day, hung bottles at night, and slept while injecting fluids.
Most people cannot bear this kind of hardship.
Money is exchanged for life.
Until that point, no one is willing to let their family members go to Bastard City to do that.
But there is never a shortage of workers in Wangba City’s mines.
People come from villages in various counties to look for her at various times every year.
The good thing is that giving money is fun.
The bad thing is that the minimum period of work is seven days, and you cannot finish one knot a day.
Mainly because Chen Ling thought about his eldest cousin again, and could only say that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.
Today's trip to Wangba City went smoothly.
On the way there, it was smooth sailing.
The way back was quite peaceful.
Although we ran into the buses that were used by the miners, we also ran into some robbers.
However, when those who were trying to rob the Dao saw that it was him, many of them backed away from a distance.
The last time he showed his face in that town with Tiger, someone recognized him and didn't stop him.
Of course, they all acted as if they didn’t recognize him and let him pass by.
Even the workers on the buses were influenced by him.
Chen Ling didn't mind his own business when he saw this.
Anyway, there is no way to tell clearly about things in this world.
When we arrived at the village, we unloaded the building materials and all the inventory piled up in the cave, otherwise one tractor would not be enough.
He went out early in the morning and drove fast.
It’s not yet noon after unloading, so I went to pull the bamboo pole without stopping, and went to see the old man on the way to ask him to inquire about people.
In this day and age, don’t think about just asking, and you will get news on the same day. You have to wait, and it will take at least three to five days to get accurate information.
Da Nier is one of her own, and she cannot just listen to what the matchmaker says about her life.
It won’t be too late when we come back from pulling the bamboo pole.
After returning home and having lunch, Chen Ling went to the brigade, turned on the loudspeaker and started calling people.
Now that the building materials are complete, there is no point in delaying it any longer. Just get started and start building the greenhouse in the afternoon.
I heard that Chen Ling was finally going to start building a greenhouse.
The young people in the village were very excited. They didn’t do much work in winter, and they didn’t dare to go deep into the mountains.
Catching rabbits all day long is quite boring. It’s better to do some work together, it’s lively, and you can also eat and drink. What a good thing.
The main thing is to be able to eat and drink for several days.
It’s exciting to work.
Almost as soon as Chen Ling finished shouting, a group of people gathered together and headed to the wheat field in the east of the village like a parade to hold a meeting.
Chen Ling had just returned to his home in the village, where Zhenzhen and Ruirui were feeding the two bald men.
Since we want Yu Qian to help raise the two eagles first, we can get the two bald guys over too. With the two bald guys as companions, they will stop making noises and bumping into the cage.
Otherwise, this bamboo cage cannot trap the eagle.
Bamboo cages cannot even trap some large parrots, let alone eagles with even more powerful beaks.
But if the two bald men keep watch, they will be very good and stay in the bamboo cage honestly.
That's fine.
"Zhenzhen, you went to the market and you didn't know how to bring your brother some food. My brother trained the crow for you in vain, right?"
Yu Qian also changed into work clothes. , ready to help Chen Ling.
The tone is still very out of tune.
After hearing this, Ruirui pursed her lips, waved her hand and said, "Hit you!"
Yu Qian suddenly felt aggrieved: "I can't speak anymore, can I?"
Wang Zhenzhen swallowed back what he was about to say, and burst into laughter: "Brother Qi'an, you are finished, Ruirui is here , you really should stop talking, sister-in-law Huining is right, who asked you to tease him all the time, he just doesn't like you."
Chen Ling was cleaning up the steamer in the kitchen, after all, tonight. We still have to steam buns and stew beef heads here.
Working in the east of the village, it is a bit far to go to the farm to eat.
At this moment, the two bald men in the yard suddenly screamed loudly.
Chen Ling thought Ruirui was fooling around with Yu Qian again, and the bald guy was helping.
As a result, Wang Zhenzhen soon started shouting excitedly: "Brother-in-law, come out quickly, come out quickly, there are geese flying in the sky, there are so many wild geese, I am afraid there are ten thousand of them!"
Chen Ling came out and saw, what a boy, the sky was full of wild geese flying over.
The little boy’s call of ten thousand is just an exaggeration, but there are definitely thousands.
“Lao Yu, Lao Yu, go to the village and call people to find Liu Nier and the others. It’s a sunny day and there are many wild geese. It’s time for us to attract the wild geese.”
"Zhenzhen, you should follow, hurry up..."
