cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 60 Countermeasures
Zhang Wei didn't go to bed until one or two o'clock yesterday.I didn't care about sleeping in because I had something to worry about, got up early in the morning, first put the melon that the thief hadn't stolen last night into the well water to freeze it, and then threw two pieces of watermelon rind to the three little bamboo mice.Before I even washed my face, I went to the next door to discuss a countermeasure with Mr. Zhang. Most people sleep less when they are old. Zhang Wei is a young man, and he wakes up very early every day. No comparison.In the words of Sun Xiaolei, the environment changes people.

Walking to Master Zhang's door, Zhang Wei, who looked at Dongfang's belly turning white just now, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, hesitated for a moment. It was still so early, so I wondered if Master Zhang had woken up. The work in the village is quite tiring for Mr. Zhang at his age.

While Zhang Wei was hesitating in front of the door for a while, there was the sound of the door opening inside the door of Master Zhang's house, and then Master Zhang opened the door of his own house, looking at Zhang Wei at the door, Master Zhang was a little surprised.It's not that Zhang Wei is lazy, but Master Zhang has never seen Zhang Wei standing in front of his house early in the morning: "What's wrong, what's the matter?" Master Zhang asked in surprise.

"Master, the melons in our backyard attracted thieves last night."

"What?" Zhang Ye, who was wearing a vest on his body, asked in surprise, "How many melons are missing?"

"Master, I didn't steal the melon. I found it in the middle of the night. There were two people, not from our village. One melon was blown up, and the other melon was found before I picked it off. I didn't chase them. .”

"Well, let's go to the backyard and have a look. It's good to scare them away and not chase them. The thieves are very rampant now. Can you see what kind of person he is?" Zhang Ye strode towards Zhang Wei's backyard while asking.

"Master, I just took a rough look at the people. Both of them are in their 30s and [-]s, and they look quite young. However, their faces are very raw. They are not from our village, and they may be from nearby villages." Zhang Wei recalled After a while, indeed, even though it was night yesterday, and there was only one meeting, Zhang Wei still gave a general overview of the person.

"Well, it's a good thing you just scared them away and didn't catch them. There is a saying that catching thieves is easier than letting them go, especially in our rural areas. It's not a big law to steal a melon and a chicken, but You don’t know how to squat when you send them to the police station, and if you catch someone stealing things, they will lose face and will hate you forever, man, you are very careful.” Master Zhang heard that Zhang Wei didn’t catch those two people , but just to scare them away, and it was still at night, I believe that the people who stole melons could not know that Zhang Wei saw them clearly.Zhang Wei's eyesight is very good, and Master Zhang also knows that as long as there is some light, he can recognize a needle and thread a thread at night. Master Zhang said that Zhang Wei's eyes were inherited from a grandfather in the last two generations of the Zhang family. This is the eye of an owl. Intergenerational inheritance?

"Grandpa, I'll go to the village chief later to see if our village's tractor can take some time to help me pull the red bricks to the kiln twice. I want to block this gap. Do you think it will work?"

"Well, it's better to be blocked, but the wall is not too high. In fact, even if it is blocked, it is the same as if it is not blocked. It's just that it is inconvenient to block thieves. There is a saying that blocks the gentleman but not the villain. "Master Zhang looked at the courtyard wall about two meters away, and said with emotion.

Yes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing you, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about you. Once you have something that makes thieves think about you, you will always be on tenterhooks.It's not that Zhang Wei can't afford to lose these two melons, but he just feels suffocated in his heart. He worked so hard to grow melons, and the thief would steal them if he wanted to. What did he think of himself?If in heaven.But this is not heaven.However, after master Zhang said so, it really makes sense.

"Then, sir, is there nothing you can do?" It's impossible to build a grass saddle and watch melons in the backyard every day.

Alas, Zhang Wei also felt helpless. If he was an immortal, he would set up a low-level fascination formation, and the thief would not go to the melon field if he died in the formation. However, Zhang Wei was not afraid of catching the thief. In his psychology, there is basically no problem that it is easy to catch a thief and difficult to release a thief. To be honest, with Zhang Wei's current physical fitness, Zhang Wei, who is a thief, really doesn't pay attention.As for not catching the thieves last night, it was because Zhang Wei didn't think of catching them. Isn't it just stealing a melon, and it hasn't been stolen yet, so just scare it away. The same is true, even if Tao Zi is stolen, as long as it is not too much, Zhang Wei will turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

"Our countryside is not like other people's cities that have alarms or something. In the countryside, if you look at a crop yard, you can just raise a dog, or raise a few geese. Dogs have good ears, and they also protect the house and see life. He bites people. The same goes for geese, three big geese are better than a dog. If it is a stranger, three or four big geese can surround people, and you can’t get away if they are so twisted. So we either have a dog here, or Raise a few geese. Your backyard is full of melons, and geese eat green things. If you let a few geese in, the melons in this yard will be harmed. You should get a dog."

What Mr. Zhang said is also the actual situation. In this backyard, it really cost tens of thousands of yuan to set up a set of surveillance. I guess it really doesn’t matter. Like what Mr. Zhang said, get a dog or raise a few geese of.There are geese in the yard of Mr. Zhang’s house, but usually they are kept together with the chickens in the backyard, and they are released in the front yard at night. As Mr. Zhang said, every family has geese. There are dogs.

"Master, but buying a dog is not a temporary thing. Buying someone else's big dog is disobedient, and buying a small dog is not very useful."

"Well, what you said is reasonable, but the female wolf dog in our village, Mr. Huaide's house, is probably two months old. It is the pup that was born when you came to the village. There are many dogs in our village. Under the circumstances, people don’t care much about puppies. When I was flattening the earthwork with him two days ago, he also said that his puppies were getting big, and asked if anyone wanted. Later, you can pick a watermelon and bring a basket of tomatoes , I’ll go with you to see their pups and there’s another pup. The two-month-old pup is easy to raise and recognizes his master quickly. Even a stranger who comes at night knows how many barks and can be used as an ear. "Master Zhang pondered for a while, but he didn't know if Zhang Huaide's pups were still there. When he went to his house a few days ago, the pups knew that they were barking. There were three or four in a litter, and they were all fat. Good shape too.

Zhang Huaide often goes to the mountains. His big dog is a wolf cub he brought up from the mountains. Without closing the door, no thief would dare to enter his house to steal things. Many dogs in the village were born to Zhang Huaide's bitches.

Just like what Mr. Zhang said, two-month-old dogs are easy to raise. After being fed for two days in a new place, they will get acquainted with people, and it is easy to recognize their masters. Two woofs.
