wild star

Chapter 67
Hanging on the handle of the closet was a soft towel made in China on a stick. It was sold to their family by a half-baked friend of my mother Zhang Qin. He used it to put bird eggs on the towel.

The four-winged bird's egg is very round, and the cracks on it are slowly enlarging.Because the weather is still cold, the heat in the house is constant, and there is enough heat to bake on the kang every day, I didn't expect that the bird's eggs really gave birth to life.

Zhao Yanling could feel that the little life inside was eager to be born, so he worked hard to chisel the eggshell from the inside.He didn't mean to help, rashly destroying the struggle of wild creatures at birth would be counterproductive, and it would be stronger if it worked hard.

After a while, a point of the eggshell was pierced, revealing a pointed mouth with a knife-like sharp exoskeleton above the beak, and sharp teeth grew in the mouth as soon as it was born.

With a little bit, it is much easier to break the shell.

A single crack turned into a cobweb pattern, and the cover at one end was lifted. The sticky and ugly head sticks out first, and then the whole body stretches out.One was unsteady, slumped over on the towel.

Zhao Yanling ignored it and let it turn over by itself.The feathers on the little thing's body were sparse, and it didn't have the pink skin of a bird cub, which was rather gray and ugly.

I thought it would take a while to open its eyes like a bird, but as soon as I thought about it, my eyes opened.

The pupils are narrow and long, and the surroundings are scattered like rays of light. I don't know what the reason is.

Big eyes met small eyes, the bodies of both the man and the bird were shocked.

The bird cub opened his mouth: "Don."

Zhao Yanling was refreshed: "You mean your name is Old Tang?"

"Chief."

"You mean your name is African?"

As a result, it opened its mouth and finally spit out the mouthful of mucus stuck in its throat.

"Spit? Then you'll be called Old Hei."

What is the connection between spit and black?
Lao Hei flapped his wings twice, and rested tiredly on the towel.Zhao Yanling felt that the environment where the four-winged bird lived was quite hot, so he moved Lao Hei to the kang.Remembering that artificially hatched chickens are kept warm with a basket with a net, Zhao Yanling also covers it.

I just finished working here, and saw that another egg was broken...

"Your name is Pimple."

The size of the lump is incomparable with that of Lao Hei, it is too small.They have to spit out after hatching, otherwise they will be choked to death.

Zhao Yanling guessed that the four-winged birds were similar to chickens and ducks, they just broke their shells and digested the egg yolks, so they didn't eat.

He went to the roadside pond, pulled the hay rake away, and used a small pick to plan a few earthworms, and put them on a small hair hook. He didn't use a fishing rod, and directly pulled the fishing line with his hands and let it down on the bank.

The ring finger and little finger are wrapped with the thread, the index finger and middle finger are threaded separately, and whether the fish bites or not depends entirely on the index finger.The fishing line moved slightly, his middle finger went around the line, his index finger shook, and he pulled the hook out without looking.Sure enough, a white jellyfish was hanging on the hook.

The longest white biaozi fish is no more than the length of a palm. It tastes average and can be used as fish sauce.There must be no less moss in the waters where it exists.

Choco dragged a small red plastic bucket over, and Zhao Yanling took out a small handful of raisins brought back from Xijiang as a reward.

"Stay away from the water, don't fall in, I have to fish you."

It's strange to say that although chocolate is occasionally naughty, it can understand human nature. Anyone who comes to Zhao Yanling's house and sees it will praise it and say it is spiritual.Zhang Qin regards it as a treasure and a member of the family.Even Mr. Zhao, who doesn't like small animals, has no problem with chocolate.

Chocolate scratched his head and stuffed the raisins into his mouth one by one, reluctant to eat them all in one bite.

Water friends all said that Zhao Yanling was a tough guy, and he was complacent, but then he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was an absurd compliment from water friends.He feels that he is just an ordinary person, and he must not have the toughness of Schwarzenegger to play the Terminator.Moreover, I often hear people say that those who like to keep pets are idiots, and he likes to think about these things...

Go home with a bucket and chop up the white biaozi fish.He has never learned knife skills, but he is more dazzling than a top cook.The diced meat is uniform in size and neatly arranged on the cutting board. As long as the gap is closed, it will be a complete fish.

Zhang Qin saw it and asked in surprise, "Who did you learn your knife skills from? Xiao Hai?"

Zhao Yanling patted the cutting board with the back of the knife, and the fish became loose.The chopping board is to cut a big tree with the thickness of a person's arms. Now unless you go into the old forest, you can't find this kind of towering tree.

He shook his head and said, "No, self-taught."

"If I had known earlier, I would have let you learn how to cook." Zhang Qin muttered. "But you won't be able to earn so much money... Are you making fish sauce?"

Zhao Yanling smiled and said, "Mom, I caught two osprey cubs and fed them to the eagles."

Zhang Qin slapped him: "He's such a big man, and he went to dig out the bird's nest. It's not in shape at all."

No matter how mature you are, you will never grow up in the eyes of your parents.Talking about cutting him, don't bring what you're used to... The rural women have strong hands, and Zhao Yanling has a few more slap marks on his shoulders and arms.

When the shell was first hatched, Lao Hei and Pimple were not recruited by hunger. Now that he opened the basket, his two small mouths opened wide, and finally he was ready to be fed.

Judging from the aggressiveness of the four-winged birds on Dabai Mountain, they are not completely scavengers like vultures, but eat whatever is available under conditions.Feeding fresh meat every day, what can Lao Hei and Pimple do?

Some people keep pets in order to add luster to their lives, and some people want to play and enjoy to fill their hearts with cuteness. People like Zhao Yanling simply like to watch ferocious creatures eat.Watching Lao Hei and Piedao gobble up, I feel inexplicably smooth in my heart.

Chocolate lay on the kang, stretched out his claws to tease Lao Hei, his untimely behavior aroused Lao Hei's displeasure, and he grabbed the tip of his claws.They were so vicious that they were not a heavyweight. Chocolate didn't feel any pain and began to act unscrupulously.

Zhao Yanling closed the basket, and said to Chocolate: "Don't be shot to death. Let's go and find naughty."

It could understand the meaning of the word "naughty", swished off the kang and ran outside to the stables.

The stable should not be called the stable, but the mule stable. It was the shed where mules were kept when Zhao Laopao was alive many years ago.

When Naughty sees Chocolate happy, he is also in a childish state and is also active and playful, which encourages the two children to play together.

Chocolate climbed up to the back of the horse's neck and grabbed the mane, and Naughty snorted and shook his head and threw it down.It's such a childish game, and both sides enjoy it.

Zhao Yanling untied the reins, and said to Naughty, "I'll take you for a walk today before it gets dark."

He leaned over and lifted Naughty violently with his arms.Naughty can now stand on four legs and dare not use too much force when walking.

The reins were handed over to Chocolate, Zhao Yanling walked in front, naughty and obediently kicked and followed behind, riding Chocolate on horseback... The novelty of the painting style immediately attracted the attention of the children in Panshanling.

The big mule yelled, "The monkey is riding a horse."

Thus, people, horses, and monkeys were surrounded by boy scouts.With Zhao Yanling around, he wasn't afraid of chocolate, and these days he got to know the children well, so he simply reached out to ask for something.Naughty was a little uneasy, Zhao Yanling stroked the horse's head twice, and it relaxed.

The big wet eyes looked enviously at the boy scout, who wanted to run along, but it was a pity that he couldn't even walk.

Zhao Yanling scratched her head: Catch up with the circus!
Fatty's father, Li Zhongxiao, was repairing the hand plow machine in front of the gate, and Zhao Yanling greeted him: "Master, it's getting dark, are you still busy?"

"It's Big Lingzi, this machine is as cheap as a human being, and the parts will break down after a while." Li Zhongxiao had a cigarette in his ear and a cross wrench in his hand. "Will the frog factory start construction tomorrow?"

"Yeah, now I can dig it with an excavator, so hurry up and get it done as soon as possible. If it gets warmer, the toad will throw its seeds."

Li Zhongxiao dropped the cross puller, and just about to put the toad on his ear into his mouth, Zhao Yanling handed the cigarette over with his eyesight.Li Zhongxiao took a sip comfortably: "It's still your boy who is promising. I heard Er Fatty said that there is a lot of trouble in the west, which can catch up with your grandfather. Your father is very honest. Although he didn't do anything that caused a sensation in the village, but I also took care of Xiaoqingshan, and the people from the Forestry Bureau even praised him verbally. We, Panshanling, belong to the three of you who live brilliantly."
