mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 80

Spring plowing has begun.

Lugangling Village has a large number of horses that can be used for farming, and many families have newly plowed the land to develop their own arable land.

The government of the Qing court can no longer control this place, and the land that everyone has developed is inappropriate, but no one can take it away.

Zhao Chuanxin gave Zhu Jianye a project: build a public security station!

Defu took a group of children and became a supervisor, supervising the construction of the security station.

One after another, several groups of people came to Lugangling. They brought their families with them. There were a small number of more than ten people, and the number of them could reach dozens of people.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't farm or work, and went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Different from the mountains of later generations, the trees on the mountain at this time are densely packed one by one.There are many big trees with the thickness of several people hugging each other, so there should not be too many pillars.

Zhao Chuanxin felt happy just looking at it.

In Yangpo, he found an open area and squatted on the ground and kept digging it up. The big leaf celery was densely packed and the ground could not be seen.

Peel a small strip of bark from the Qiuzi tree, tie the celery and put it in a cloth bag.

The bark cannot be peeled off by a tree, otherwise the tree will die.

Ganfan was digging the ground nearby, turned up the leaves, and dug out a white beetle larva, which he sniffed and didn't move.

Zhao Chuanxin muttered every day that he wanted to smoke it, but he was always reluctant to do it.

Who hasn't been self-willed yet?

Just as the dry meal left, a black crow flew down from the branch and took away the big white bug on the ground in one gulp.

Although he didn't eat the rice, he didn't allow the crow to be presumptuous under its nose, and immediately yelled at the tree.

The crow looked down at it disdainfully, pouted its tail, and feces fell from the sky.

Gan Fan jumped back and dodged nimbly, even more furious.

The crow flew away, and it was in hot pursuit.

"Hey, stop chasing, don't run away!"

Zhao Chuanxin shouted from behind.

The forest is not safe. There are all kinds of animals in the old forest at this time. Tigers, leopards, wild boars and bears often haunt here.

Ganfan didn't listen at all, and got into the woods in a hurry.

Zhao Chuanxin could only stare blankly, he couldn't run even if he wanted to in the dense forest.

Forget it, it knows the way and will come back in a while.

Qianfan chased after him, and saw the crow get into its old nest in the tree.

Suddenly, a figure jumped down from another tree. It was fast and silent, like a ghost haunting and haunting.

Ganfan was startled, because it didn't find that thing just now.

This thing's coat color is like a hare, with spots on its body, and a slender figure. It is almost the same color as the tree when hiding in the tree. As long as it doesn't move, it is really hard to find.

Ganfan knew that it was a lynx because Zhao Chuanxin had taught it before.

The lynx precisely bit the crow's head, and at the same time overturned its old nest, and a naked cub that had just hatched fell down.

Ganfan stepped forward and sniffed. The fallen leaves on the ground were thick, and the bird fell to the ground without falling to his death.

The crow could no longer survive, and became a meal for the lynx.

It also lowered its head and looked at Qianfan in warning, signaling it to get out of here quickly and don't disturb Lao Tzu's meal.

He took the baby bird in his mouth in one gulp, and ran back and forth.

Zhao Chuanxin's bag was already full, and he even had five bundles of celery and celery around his waist.

He straightened his waist and hammered his back, looked at Lin Zi and shouted, "Dry rice, let's go, go home!"

The figure of Ganfan finally appeared, it moved through the forest very nimbly, and when it came to the front, it threw the thing out of its mouth.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the fleshy lump on the ground, and saw that it turned out to be a baby bird.

Suddenly crying.

When he was a child, he often dug out bird nests and so on. At that time, there were no sound laws to protect wild animals.

Seeing that the dry rice is also picking out the cubs, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Such a small amount of meat is not enough to take home and burn, and it is not enough for you to stuff between your teeth."

cooked rice:"……"

"Chicken? This is not a chicken, this is a bird. That's fine, take it back and raise it for you."

In spring, many people in the village began to hatch chickens. A hen wandered around looking for food with a group of chickens. Ganfan saw it and thought it was fun, and she also wanted to raise a group of chickens.

What a ghost, there is a dog who wants to raise chickens?

Putting the cub in his pocket, Zhao Chuanxin went down the mountain.

After returning, he put the big leaf celery in a basin and took it to the river to wash it.

But Ganfan disagreed, and screamed, scratching his neck.

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin realize that there was still a baby bird in his pocket.

I took it out and took a look, wiped it, and put it in my pocket.

I hurried back to find a wooden box to put in it, and laid some crushed hay to finish.

"It's okay if you want to raise it, but you have to go out every day to find worms to feed it. Look at those hens in the village, they take the chickens out to find worms to eat. When they find worms, the hen is pecked to death, and the chicks are snatched from behind. Food."

When Ganfan heard it, his eyeballs rolled, he turned around and ran out.

After not much effort, he came back biting one of those fat white bugs, with sawdust remaining on its mouth.

The worms were dropped on the ground, but the chicks were not at all able to walk around and peck on the ground like chickens.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up the half-dead bug and said, "Look, just feed it like this, you learn."

The birdie hadn't opened his eyes yet, and whoever brought the food opened his mouth.

The worm was stuffed into its mouth, and it immediately ate it hungrily.

Cook food thoughtfully.

Without much effort, he came back with another worm in his mouth.

This time, it directly fed the cub with its mouth, which was pretty decent.

Seeing that it was about to leave again, Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said: "Look at it, this is called a crop, if it is very bulging, don't feed it, don't feed it to death. When you are young, you don't know how full you are when you eat, so just feed it." I ate whatever I gave, and in the end I couldn't poop and almost suffocated to death."

Since then, Ganfan has had a new toy, and has been very busy.

Zhao Chuanxin went out to wash the vegetables.

Dayeqin was too thin, and he couldn't eat it, so he washed a third of it, thought about it, and sent the rest to Zhao Zhongyi's home.

"You went up the mountain?" Zhao Zhongyi just came back from the field. "It's better not to go to the old forest. The women in Wangjiagou went to pick wild vegetables, and they were eaten by some animals, leaving only one leg."

Zhao Chuanxin patted the pistol on his waist: "It's not easy to use when the tiger comes!"

As strong as tigers and leopards, they are also scumbags in front of guns.With his marksmanship, aiming at the head with a round of bullets, no matter how strong the tiger is, he will have to kneel!
Zhao Zhongyi shook his head and smiled wryly: "I'm afraid that when you don't pay attention, the tiger will pounce on you, and it's too late to shoot. You haven't seen a tiger before, and you don't know how fast it is."

"It's okay, don't worry, there will be rice to follow, and no animals will get close."

After returning home, he divided the big leaf celery into three portions, fried one portion, made steamed buns, and served with cold dishes.

The broomcorn millet is eaten with boiled water and dipped in egg sauce, which has a very unique flavor.

Delicacies from mountains and seas, at least you can eat delicacies from mountains and seas now, right?

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Chuanxin glanced at the bird's nest next to the dog's kennel. Good guy, the nest is full of food. He took out the cubs and replaced the bedding inside.
