My village can't be like this

Chapter 280 The Crane Shadow in the Mountain
After dinner, no one left.

Because everyone has nothing to do in winter, so they stayed and continued to brag.

After sitting for a while, Zhang An saw that they hadn't finished drinking just now, so he got out the wine again.

Seeing this, Wang Fang went back to the kitchen and fried some peanuts and potato chips for everyone to drink.

It was considered a warm-up when we just ate, and this was the beginning of the midnight show.

Everyone started punching and drinking, chatting about this and that.

Wang Fang took Su Ying, and other women were kowtowing melon seeds and peanuts by the stove, doing homework.

As for the men in the main room, it doesn't seem like the women talked so much about so-and-so.

Guys, they are not very interested in gossip, most of them talk about what happened in the village or nearby this year.

Or maybe there is some fun to make money, and there are big and small events reported on the news network, new national policies, and so on.

Everyone was chatting, and Zhang An found that there were more and more people in his house.

After all, there is nothing to do in the countryside, and everyone has too much leisure in winter.

I want to watch TV at home, but many people don't have it.

It was freezing cold outside, and the cold wind was howling. Even if there were not so few people who wanted to go out for a walk, they would suffer from the cold.

So at this time, someone set up a place, and people in the village who like to join in the fun will gather there.

After dinner tonight, everyone is worrying about where to spend their time.

As soon as they heard that Zhang An's family had set up a wine shop here, they all made an appointment to come over.

It's not because of those two sips of wine, it's just that there are so many people here, and everyone likes to get together.

It was not until late at night that everyone returned home happily.

Zhang An sent everyone away before washing up and getting ready to go back to bed.

It was late at this time, Su Yingminger had to go to work tomorrow, and she had already started dreaming in bed.

Lying on the bed, Zhang An didn't fall asleep right away.

Instead, he closed his eyes and sank his mind to check the condition of the badgers caught in the space today.

For the three badgers that Zhang Anlian brought in the cage, the cage had already been bitten open and released.

Don't think about it, this must be a good thing for the three big badgers that were put in at the beginning.

After all, they all live in the same cave for the winter. If you say you don't know them, who will believe it.

Suddenly, when Zhang An looked into the pond, he found that a badger ran into the fish pond.

This guy is making a fuss in the pond, and he is wreaking havoc on the fish in the water.

It was only then that Zhang An remembered that this thing could swim, and it was also an omnivorous animal.

Seeing Su Ying sleeping soundly, Zhang An entered the space.

After sharing the same bed for so long, Zhang An has a thorough understanding of his daughter-in-law.

Su Ying's sleep quality during this period was very good, and she would not wake up in the middle of the night.

So Zhang An is also confident and bold to enter the space, anyway, it won't take much time.

Entering the space, the first thing Zhang An did was to get a few badgers over.

If he wants to raise these guys in the future, he must tame them first.

Later, Zhang An made another restriction on them. The water outlet on the other side of the rockery is not allowed to go to the water.

After all, that's where Zhang An gets water. He doesn't want to drink the bath water of these animals, it's too disgusting.

After some special training, the badgers have already obeyed Zhang An's words, and can roughly understand some simple orders issued by Zhang An.

Then Zhang An didn't continue to take care of them, but went to the side, and found a place to plant the big tree tea seedlings he had obtained in Maomaoqing.

Then they called some spring water to let them grow quickly.

Zhang An has a hunch that this thing will be used a lot in the future.

I only saw the tea seedlings poured with spring water, suddenly growing wildly.

This speed is much faster than what Zhang An has seen in the past. Could it be a change after the space change?

Zhang An thought in his heart, because after the space mutation before, he didn't take much time to come in.

After all, now that there is an extra bedside person, you need to pay more attention when entering and exiting the space.

Otherwise, if it suddenly appeared or disappeared suddenly, it would be impossible to frighten my daughter-in-law.

Zhang An also thought about it and told Su Ying this secret.

But after thinking about it carefully, I will wait until later. After all, there are too many uncertainties in many things.

And he hasn't tried it yet, whether it can bring people into the space.

This thing can't be tried lightly, in case something goes wrong, it will be too late for him to regret it.

After the tea tree grew to a certain height, it suddenly stopped.

At this time, many branches began to grow on the tea tree.

Slowly some buds emerged, began to bloom, and finally turned into pieces of young leaves.

Seeing this, Zhang An picked several baskets of the freshly grown tea and put them away.

This big tree tea is different from other teas, it does not need to be roasted, it only needs to be roasted and then sun-dried.

This is why there are not many people who drink it, because the process that everyone thinks is indispensable is missing.

After serving the tea trees, Zhang An didn't rush out, but cleared out an open space next to him.

Here Zhang An is going to use it to plant medicinal materials. After all, after the beginning of spring, the planting of medicinal fields will be on the agenda, and it is not too early to start preparations.

And in the past, the medicinal materials that Zhang An found from the mountains were randomly planted in the space, and there was no plan.

Now the breeding of medicinal materials requires a separate place to come out, so they should be raised properly.

Get out the medicinal material area directly, and then transplant all the medicinal materials in the space.

In this way, if you find any medicinal materials in the future, you don't need to plant them in the east, or in the west, which is uncomfortable to watch.

The work of plowing the land, along with Zhang An's thoughts, was completed in a short time.

Zhang Anxin said, it's still convenient now, if he needed to do it himself before, when would he have to get such a large space.

Finally, there is the transplanting project of medicinal materials, and there is nothing particular about it in the space.

Zhang An made a plan in his mind first, how much area to plant for each type.

In the end, the medicinal materials were transplanted one by one.

Although in the space, there is no need to worry about the phenomenon of not surviving after transplantation.

But Zhang An still sprayed them with spring water.

After doing this, Zhang An removed the dirt on his body and left the space.

Su Ying was still sleeping soundly. Zhang An lay on the bed, put one arm around his wife, and began to sleep soundly.

The next morning, Su Ying woke up and lay on the bed.

"Hey, I really don't want to get up, the quilt is too warm."

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder every day.

It takes some courage to get up early in the morning.

"Hey, this is the last day. Get up quickly. Mom has already made breakfast. You can sleep in tomorrow."

Today is the last day of invigilation, and the students will have winter vacation tomorrow.

Although the teachers will continue to correct the test papers and register the scores.

But these tasks can be done at home, without having to get up early to go to school to work.

After being coaxed by Zhang An for a while, Su Ying got up from the bed.

"Hey husband, there are white cranes in our fish pond."

After getting dressed, Su Ying got out of bed and walked to the window.

Suddenly, two figures in the backyard downstairs attracted her attention.

The hand that was about to open the window also stopped, for fear that the sound of opening the window would scare away the two rare guests below.

Zhang An walked over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw two white figures standing in the middle of his fish pond.

From time to time, they look for prey in the water, and then open their mouths to the sky from time to time.

A stream of obvious hot air is coming out of their mouths, which has a special taste.

If there are a few more, it will be a beautiful scenery.

Looking closely, the two cranes are somewhat different.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang An recognized the two cranes as black-necked cranes.

Although red-crowned cranes and black-necked cranes are very similar in appearance and habits.

But there is a good distinction between them, and that is the head.

If there is a white area on the head, it is undoubtedly a red-crowned crane.

And the two in front of them, from the neck up to the head, are all black.

"It's not a white crane, it's a black-necked crane."

Su Ying didn't care whether they were white cranes or black-necked cranes, she still liked watching them very much.

Most people in China have a natural liking for animals like cranes.

After all, no matter in the story or on TV, the term crane has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Looking at this elegant figure, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.

"I didn't expect there to be cranes in our mountains. This is the first time I've seen them so close."

Su Ying stared at these two elegant guys intently, that is, she doesn't have a mobile phone now, otherwise she must have kept patting and posting on Moments.

But what you said is right, cranes are rarely seen in this mountain.

Even in later generations, what Zhang An saw locally was only a few black-necked cranes landed for the winter in a certain year after the wetland park in the city was built.

But in the grass sea next door, these guys are not uncommon to see.

After all, that place is where the black-necked cranes spend the winter, and many black-necked cranes fly back to spend the winter every year.

Zhang An reckoned that these two also flew back for the winter.

It's just that there may be some reason that caused them to fly a little bit and landed in this mountain.

But in fact, the mountains here in Zhang An's place are actually not bad, except for the few days when it snowed, it wasn't very cold.

Moreover, the pools and creeks on the mountain will not freeze, and there is enough food for them to survive.

After going downstairs, Zhang An found that the back door of his house was closed.

"Xiao An, there are two big birds in the fish pond, and they have been eating our fish."

It turned out that Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang downstairs had already discovered these two uninvited guests.

After all, they got up very early every day, and they saw the black-necked crane as soon as it came.

To be fair, these two are really lucky to have landed in Zhang An's house, and it's still now.

If it was changed to another yard, or in the past, it is estimated that Zhang Jianguo saw it, and his first reaction was to take the blunderbuss and hit it first.

After all, such a big bird can eat a lot of meat after being beaten. Most people in the village think like this, so it doesn't matter whether you are a crane or not.

But now, as the conditions at home have improved, and because Zhang An has raised many animals at home.

Under the influence of their ears and eyes, Zhang Jianguo and his wife were also influenced by Zhang An.

When I see animals, I also have some thoughts of appreciation. It is no longer like before, everything I see looks like meat on a plate.

"Dad, let them eat what they want. There are so many fish in our family, how much can they eat? It's not easy for them in this cold weather."

Looking at his father's appearance, Zhang An knew that he was distressed by the fish in the fish pond.

After all, the fish pond costs tens of thousands of dollars every time it comes out of the pond. These fish are very precious in Zhang Jianguo's heart.

On weekdays, he would feed some tender grass or small bugs at every turn.

Now seeing being eaten by two big birds, each of which is money, how can I not feel distressed.

"This thing is a national first-class protected animal. If you beat it, you can go in and be locked up for many years, and you have to be fined."

Although Zhang An didn't know exactly when the black-necked cranes and red-crowned cranes were protected.

However, most of the cranes have been on the protection list in China very early.

As soon as Zhang An said it was a first-class protected animal, both Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang knew that these two big birds were not easy to mess with.

After all, on weekdays, what Zhang An talked about the most was the second-level protected animals. This was the first time I heard of this level.

At the moment, I didn't care about them running to my fish pond to eat, so I made up my mind to stay away from them.

Save yourself from being implicated when something happens to them.

After opening the back door, the family walked into the backyard.

The two black-necked cranes soon realized that their owners had discovered what they were stealing.

He raised his proud head to stare at Zhang An and the others, and then swallowed the unfinished half of the small fish in his mouth.

Looking at the two black-necked cranes, Zhang An always felt that these two guys were not afraid of him.

If a normal crane saw a person at such a close distance, its first reaction would be to fly away and escape instead of standing and watching.

Zhang An, who was thinking, walked towards them with his legs.

Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang only thought that Zhang An wanted to scare them away.

But unexpectedly, Zhang An walked all the way to the edge of the fish pond without scaring them away.

Sure enough, they were not afraid of themselves.

Zhang An thought in his heart, and then looked at the black-necked crane that was not moving, Zhang An made some space and held the spring water in his hand.

During this period, a few drops were spilled into the fish pond, and the fish in the attracted water gathered and competed with each other.

At this time, the two black-necked cranes standing still in the fish pond came towards Zhang An.

Originally, Zhang An thought that the two of them were here to catch fish.

Unexpectedly, they walked straight in front of Zhang An, stretched out their long beaks, and drank the spring water in Zhang An's palm.

After finishing the drink, he still stared at Zhang An, as if asking why it was so little.

Then Zhang An reached out and stroked their long, black necks and white wings.

Looking at this, Zhang An knew that they were really not afraid of him, and also knew that the space spring water was a treasure.

In order to drink water, he didn't even care about the fish that came out of the fish pond.

But it could also be that the fish are too big and they know they can't handle it, so they don't bother.

Su Ying, who was standing behind, saw that her man was able to stroke these two black-necked cranes.

She also likes this beautiful and elegant animal, so she naturally wants to touch it.

Unexpectedly, just after Su Ying walked a few steps forward, the two black-necked cranes that were standing calmly beside Zhang An just now flew away.

"Ah, why did they fly away, I still want to touch them like you."

Seeing the two figures going away in the sky, Su Ying looked disappointed.

"No, why aren't they afraid of you, and why do they take the initiative to walk in front of you?"

Because Su Ying didn't feel the crane in her heart, she stared at her man and examined it.

"possible...."

Zhang An was interrupted by Su Ying before he could speak.

"Could this be your little lover in the previous life who turned into a crane in this life to look for you?"

Su Ying has read a lot of stories from Liao Zhai during this time, and this kind of plot immediately came to her mind.

Speaking of which, Su Ying belongs to the kind of guy who has a big food addiction.

In the stories of Liaozhai, many of them are described as very scary and frightening.

Every time she saw a scary plot, Su Ying would cover her eyes with both hands, and watch from the corner of her eye.

"Then I was pretty good in my last life, where are my two lovers?"

Zhang An followed his daughter-in-law's wishes, and also had some teasing thoughts, which made Su Ying gnash her teeth.

After all, Zhang An just touched two elegant cranes, but she didn't touch them herself.

Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang in the back saw their son and daughter-in-law arguing.

Unconsciously laughed, turned and went back into the house.
