My 1995 Small Farm - Chapter 350
Chapter 350 Worth a hundred taels of gold
To talk about the fear of raising poultry in the countryside, the most fearful thing is not the scourge of wild animals such as weasels and raccoons, but the plague.
Once there is a plague, it is not a small matter for one family, and the whole village’s poultry will suffer, and if they die, it will be a large area.
The weather in spring is beginning to warm up, and if you encounter a year with changeable weather, you are most likely to suffer from plague.
As soon as I heard that there was a plague in a place, I quickly put the poultry in cages, in the woodshed, and covered them with black cloth, so as not to see the light.
But this year, because of the veterinarian Chen Ling, the news is better than in previous years, and before the plague spread here, everyone woke up in advance, and it would definitely be alright.
“Choo Choo Choo…”
After busying with the vaccine, it was a leisurely afternoon. Chen Ling was wandering in the fruit forest, whistling on his mouth, imitating the call of a tit.
The call of a **** can be imitated with a whistle, and it is the simplest.
It’s just that his whistle didn’t attract the tits.
instead led a group of ducks over, thinking he was going to feed, and quacked around him for a while.
He was so angry that he called the puppies from the house and drove the ducks away for a while.
Spring is the peak season for birds to breed.
It is a good way to practice ventriloquism by rushing to the courting male bird to learn.
But today Chen Ling made these ducks lose their mood.
took out the blue horse, straddled it, called out a group of lively puppies, slapped the horse and left.
The second month of the lunar calendar is halfway through, and these puppies are already four months old.
One by one looks sturdy.
It is said to be the first generation of wolf dogs, but Chen Ling raised them well, but they don’t look like a wolf at all.
In addition to taking it out for training every day, the amount of activity is huge, and the whole body is full of tendons, which is much stronger than the wolf cubs in the mountains.
Especially the puppy who took the lead. After moulting, except for a little grayish white on the chest, everything else was black.
It is a perfect inheritance of Heiwa’s genes, and it is also the largest and the most powerful among puppies.
When hunting, it rushes the hardest and runs the fastest.
Endurance and speed are the best among puppies.
Chen Ling named it Erhei.
Other dogs are not as distinctive as Erhei.
They are about the same color as ordinary blue dogs, either black and gray, or black and yellow.
Both male and female, tall and short are different.
Chen Ling, except for Er Hei, called Da Mao and Er Mao back, and went all the way to Jiu Mao.
The farm needs to be guarded by a pack of dogs.
Since he decided to keep these ten puppies, Chen Ling naturally wanted to name them.
Since then, whether it is taking them into the mountains or taking Heiwa Xiaojin into the mountains in the future, there will be no dogs at home to guard them.
“Driving…”
Chen Ling did not take the mountain road. He rode a small green horse and led a group of dogs from the dam to the east, from Donggang to the old city wall of the county town.
There is no one on this road. The horses and dogs let go and run with joy, galloping recklessly, and rumbling over, making the dirt road full of dust and smoke.
This is because of the drought and no rain in the early spring, and the road is full of floating soil.
Chen Ling didn’t care about that, he just felt relieved, covered his mouth and nose and laughed.
On the contrary, he ran the horses and dogs into disgrace. The little blue horse went to the city wall and kept shaking his big head and snorting. The little dogs also fluttered their hair and sneezed.
But they were very excited to run this ride.
The little green horse kicked its four hooves and screamed in a rhythmic manner, looking like it was about to move again and again.
In the past two days, Chen Ling has been feeding with spirit water and spirits, tempering its temper, and galloping on the road to correct some of its bad habits. Although the results are good, it will take a long time to correct.
But this little green horse was nourished by spiritual water and spiritual things, and became more and more spiritual. After running, it became more and more in line with Chen Lingneng.
This is a great improvement.
At least it gave Chen Ling a sense of accomplishment and did not waste any effort.
And the puppies were shaking their heads and tails around the little green horse, whirling around, barking softly, urging Chen Ling to go faster.
I also want to run around again.
made some passersby and nearby residents look at them.
There were even good people who came up to ask if Chen Ling was a local, thinking that Chen Ling came to play from outside.
However, some county residents knew Chen Ling.
Because Chen Ling often drives a tractor or rides a motorcycle to walk his dog around in the first month of this year.
Knowing that this is the Chen Fugui who opened the farm in Chenwangzhuang.
I just don’t know why I suddenly switched to riding a horse now.
is as good as ever.
These people came forward and watched Chen Ling tease Xiao Qingma and a group of puppies on the city wall. It felt more interesting than the circus on TV.
Someone even suggested: “Go to Dumb Lake. There is no one to go to Dumb Lake. There is no one to go there. There is water and river. If you are thirsty, you can drink horses and feed dogs.”
“Ang, I’m just talking.”
Chen Ling smiled, didn’t get off the horse, turned the horse’s head, and rode away northward. A group of burly puppies followed excitedly.
Leaving a group of people tut their praises and find it interesting.
From the Dumb Lake in a large circle, then along the Duba River to the south, cross the trail and enter the forest farm. Along the road in the forest farm, the horses gallop all the way, and the dogs hunt all the way.
has been along the forest farm to Han Chuang’s house in Tubaoling outside Huangni Town.
Running down this big circle can be described as refreshing and transparent.
Xiao Qingma also got along better with Chen Ling.
At Han Chuang’s house, he drank some tea, drank the horses to feed the dogs, and left some prey. Then he set out on the return journey, walked along the main road, and went to the county town to pick up Wang Zhenzhen and go back.
Horse riding is addictive, and the feeling of galloping on a horse is fascinated.
The better the horse, and the more skilled it is, the more overwhelming it is.
But today, Qin Qiumei and the others came to play with Wang Susu. If they can help take care of the children, Chen Ling will have the opportunity to go out for a walk.
If you want to go out the next day, you will have no chance.
…
Early spring in February, the grass grows and warblers fly, the distant mountains are vast, and the nearby hillsides are green.
The green grass has grown by an inch, and some are flickering with small flowers like stars.
The willow branches on the river bank spit out new buds, like strings of green orchids, dangling unevenly into the water.
This spring is dry and dry, and the rivers and streams are shallow, but the air is still the same as in previous years. When spring comes, it will be warm and sweet.
is soothing.
The breeze is coming, and the water is rippling.
In such a bright spring, Chen Wangzhuang suddenly came to a group of uninvited guests.
They are a group of men with black and red faces, some young and some old, wearing leather clothes, felt hats and riding boots, each carrying a long pole, leading a horse to slowly walk on the dam.
The horse bells are jingling and melodious.
The hooves of the horses clack, there are crisp, dull dull sounds, stepping on the spring breeze.
There are villagers busy in the farmland on the northwest side of the reservoir who do not know where these people come from, showing curiosity and doubts and vigilance.
Taking a closer look, someone noticed that not only were those men carrying long poles on their shoulders, but there were also vicious hawks standing on the other side of their shoulders.
This made the villagers even more curious.
Curiosity is curiosity.
This unfamiliar team of horses is so strangely dressed that it has to be guarded.
The old man at the entrance of the village chased away a group of good children.
But I saw the group of men, old and young, stopped slowly, turning a blind eye to the dogs barking at the horse team. One of the old men with a gray harrier on his shoulder took off his felt hat, looked around, and found a tree standing in the distance. Willow tree full of birds.
With the shovel at the end of the long pole, he shoveled a piece of soil and threw it violently.
With a clatter, the trees were full of birds and birds.
The grey harrier standing on the old man’s shoulder swishes out in an instant, grabbing a bird firmly.
When the little children saw this scene, their eyes brightened, and they gathered around with a hula.
twittering surrounded a group of Harriers, and the adults also followed.
Wherever the Harrier goes, it is this set that attracts people.
They travel thousands of miles and eat hundreds of meals.
is what we rely on to talk to people.
When you meet someone who is attracted by the Harrier, between the question and the answer, if you meet someone who is on the right track, you will be able to solve the problem of room and board.
But what surprised the Harriers in Chenwangzhuang is that the adults and children here are different from other places.
Adult didn’t mention the matter of staying overnight at all.
If you want to provide food and lodging, you have to pay for it. They also said that many of them had experience in entertaining guests who came to pay their respects to Lord Turtle last year.
made the Harriers frown.
I think these people are not as simple as those in the mountains.
As for the children, although they are also around the Harrier to ask questions.
But after the initial curiosity, they raised their heads one by one, looked at the harrier on their shoulders, and said, “The harrier of the rich and noble uncle’s family can do somersaults, can yours?”
“My uncle’s grandfather’s harrier can catch the eyeball of a blind wild boar, can you do it?”
One by one, the Harriers frowned and looked at each other. The old man with Gray Harrier on his shoulders stepped forward and asked cautiously, “Is this rich and noble called Chen Fugui?”
This time, it was the villagers and the little boys who were surprised. They never thought that this strange horse team actually knew Chen Ling.
…
This group of Harriers are the same people who Chen Ling greeted them last year and left their addresses and names.
Chen Ling thought they would not come.
When the little kids came to call him at home, he was still a little dazed.
“Uncle Fugui, is the second bald boy in your family here? Take them out to kill their majesty. Their harriers are stupid.”
Liu Nier shouted.
Chen Ling slapped him on the head when he heard the words, and scolded with a smile: “Just follow the TV and learn to talk, and the majesty and prestige pop out.”
said again: “Er Bald is not at home, he came back in the morning and flew away.”
“Ah? The second bald man is not here, so what we said just now is really big talk and blows the air.”
Liu Ni’er and her gang of little boys grimaced.
They were just boasting with the Harrier, how powerful and smart the Harrier of Chen Ling’s family is.
Who knew it was coming, and Chen Ling’s harrier flew out again. What should I do?
“Can you call me back, Uncle Fugui? It’s useful for us to find Erbald.”
“I’ll give you a call to try. I don’t know if I can call you back. If you fly far away, you won’t be able to hear my whistle.”
Chen Ling took out the bamboo whistle. This is his specially equipped eagle whistle. It is extremely loud and can transmit a long distance.
After blowing several times in a row, the long whistle spread out, and when Er Bald heard it, he would fly back.
No need to wait in place.
Chen Ling took Liu Ni’er’s gang and went out, ready to meet those Harriers.
For the past two months, his Harrier hasn’t come home, he thought it was spring, and Erbald went outside to find a mate.
Who knows, this silly bird went to the mountains to find a honeycomb.
I don’t know if it was because I fed it some bee pupae in the cave last time.
Er Bald is more and more fond of all kinds of wild bees and the pupae of the hive.
These days, I have come to my house to pick up some honeycombs every now and then.
After more , Chen Ling understood that he was busy with his work every day, but because of this, he also ate a lot of honey.
Er Bald and two dogs were fed with the spiritual dew from Dongtian.
Now the feathers are thick and hard, like iron feathers, and the wild bees have no way of attacking it.
makes it more and more like a duck to water.
Chen Ling walked out of the farm with a group of little kids, and the little green horse in the barn screamed, stood up, put his front legs on the fence outside the barn, and wanted to follow.
Seeing this, Chen Ling took out the peanuts and fed it, and let it out.
A horse of this nature cannot hold it.
Even if you don’t ride it out to indulge in galloping, you can just let go of the horse when you go out.
Chen Ling didn’t hold it when it was released.
Xiaoqingma followed behind them with hooves, flapping its tail, and walking happily.
is when the little ones want to touch, but it won’t let them touch it, and it wants to bend one of its hind legs, and wants to squat.
Chen Ling reached out and slapped it, his eyes widened, and it immediately became honest.
The horse is a creature that can feel human emotions.
Chen Ling has trained it several times these days, and Xiao Qingma already knows that when Chen Ling hits it and stares at it, it can’t do it anymore.
Otherwise, there is no benefit to it.
Liu Ni’er looked at him and said, “Uncle Fugui, my second uncle said, you can’t train animals, you’ve trained horses into dogs, and you have to follow you when you go out, wagging your tail as you walk, just like walking a dog. “
Chen Ling was furious when he heard it: “Fart, what does your second uncle know, you call your second uncle over and see if I can yell at him.”
“You say that I train animals like dogs. Can he train them? My horse is a fierce horse. Look now, listen to me more.”
A group of little babies laughed and laughed non-stop, saying that this blue horse is not as good as the little white ox. The little white ox can act like a spoiled child and roll around, and can also watch the house, pull carts, and cultivate the land. That is a good animal and a good partner.
Chen Ling agrees with this very much. It can be seen that this little green horse still has some training.
When Chen Ling brought a group of little boys and led Xiao Qingma to the entrance of the village, more and more villagers gathered around Harrier.
Seeing Chen Ling coming over, they all dispersed to make way for him and let him go forward and talk to Harrier.
The old man of Grey Harrier saw Chen Ling with a smile on his black and red face, saying that the goods Chen Ling wanted had been brought to him, and he could check it now.
What Chen Ling needs are mainly a batch of medicinal herbs specializing in Qinghai and Tibet, such as snow lotus, saffron, cordyceps and rhodiola.
Simple inspection, the transaction is very smooth.
Chen Ling put the goods on the back of the horse, and was going to invite the Harriers into the village for a meal. After all, long-distance business is like a black market, and there will be a lot of exchanges and cooperation in the future.
But these Harriers politely refused.
I just want to see and see Chen Lingxun’s Harrier, is it as powerful as those children say?
They are all called Harriers, and they have a strong ability to train Harriers.
Who would have thought that the words that were almost devalued in the mouths of those children were worthless.
When Chen Ling heard this request, he wanted to say that his Harrier was not at home.
Just at this moment, I heard a hawk cry, and above the clear sky in the distance, a majestic yellow-clawed hawk spread its wings.
The few harriers standing on the shoulders of the various harriers seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly screamed in a restless panic, flapping their wings and spreading their wings.
A group of Harriers also looked surprised, and quickly appeased their Harriers and looked up at the sky.
“Uh, it’s a coincidence. Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. This is the harrier I trained and came back from the mountains.” Chen Ling pointed to the sky and smiled.
“This is a Harrier? This is an eagle, right?” The old gray Harrier looked up at the sky with his mouth open.
Chen Ling said with great certainty: “It’s a Harrier, it’s just that the food is good and it’s grown up.”
A group of Harriers suddenly stopped talking.
This offspring of the Harrier is a little bigger, more than twice the size of the normal Harrier. Haven’t you seen how scared their Harriers are?
At this time, the villagers and the little boys were also excited, “Show them riches and honors, won’t your harrier turn somersaults in the sky and hide from guns? Now that you’re back, show them a hand.”
When some young Harriers heard this, although their faces were not very good-looking, they also looked at Chen Ling with some anticipation.
Chen Ling raised his head and whistled a few times at the second bald man.
Er Bald immediately made corresponding actions.
Sometimes rolls in the air, sometimes falls sharply, and takes off suddenly when it is about to fall.
Even under the command of Chen Ling, he suddenly flew over the water surface of the reservoir and caught two fish.
At this time, Chen Ling said to a young Harrier: “I borrow a bow and arrow.”
took the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted excitedly at the sky, and shot the two bald men who were already having fun.
The two bald men dodged the arrows one after another and picked them up one by one under the watchful eyes of the horrified Harriers.
As if seeing a miracle, the Harriers widened their eyes and subconsciously touched the nervous and flustered Harriers on their shoulders and muttered to themselves, not knowing what to say for a while.
is completely incomprehensible, but shocked.
The villagers are used to it, but they laugh at them for their shallow knowledge. They squinted their eyes and said with contempt that this is where they are. The rich and noble family Harrier can pick the eyeballs of wild boars. You have never seen that.
Finally, the old man Grey Harrier gave Chen Ling a silver bell very solemnly to express their admiration.
and said: “Such a harrier can be worth a hundred taels of gold in the past.”
