My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 520 Fighting mouse

   "Listen to my aunt's nonsense, the bean shed and the melon stand are raining like silk..."

   "Ah, fourth master, can you still read poetry? It's amazing."

  On the morning of the twelfth day of the seventh lunar month, Yu Qi'an raised his thumb in surprise, and chatted with Chen Kannian in the orchard with Bai Huining.

  Chen Kannian has not been so confused in the past six months, but he often likes to come to the farm to herd sheep.

  I feel more comfortable here than elsewhere.

  When it’s hot, it’s a whole afternoon sitting.

  Yu Qi'an and the others have all heard of the legendary experience of the old man being carried by a wolf. They have known each other for a few times, and chatted for a while when they met. They like to listen to the old man's stories.

   "Haha, I took cultural classes for a few days before, and I can read a few sentences at least..."

Chen Kannian said, pointing to the other side of the cliff: "Look, those big birds are really thieves. If you want to grab the territory with the magpies, just grab the territory, and even tear down the magpies' nests, pick them up and build their own nests." .”

   "Yes, yes, these big birds are really hateful."

  Bai Huining yelled unhappily, on Qixi Festival, she and Yu Qi'an saw magpies building a magpie bridge, so naturally they like magpies more than egrets.

   As she said this, the girl was still holding a canning bottle, and she was catching some grasshoppers and crickets in the grass and putting them into the bottle, saving them to feed the magpies.

  In the past few days, whenever she has free time, she will come out to catch them every day, and feed them to the magpies when they are full.

  In her eyes, Magpie is her matchmaker with Yu Qi'an.

  An animal matchmaker, how strange and romantic.

   Moreover, on the day of Qixi Festival, the spectacle of the Magpie Bridge appeared, and the magpies also had an extraordinary meaning in their hearts.

   After Yu Qi'an came back with Chen Ling, the two caught him together.

   Then feed the magpies.

   Feeding magpies is also easy.

  The magpie is much smarter than most birds.

  Which tree has a magpie nesting in it, tie the bottle of the caught grasshopper with a rope and hang it up.

  The mouth of the bottle must also be opened.

   At this time, the grasshoppers and crickets in the bottle will crawl and jump out.

  As soon as the magpies saw this, they couldn’t help but fly over to grab the food.

  People stay away and watch a group of magpies scrambling for food around the canned bottles on the tree, and even fly to the sky to fight one after the other. It is very joyful and pleasant.

  It seems very casual to feed the magpie like this.

   is actually the easiest, most effective, and most fun way.

  Because this bird is clever.

  People can't get close to it.

  Throw it to eat, it thinks you throw it with something, and flies away.

   But hanging the bottle on a tree is different.

Because these guys often fly over and over between fruit trees during the day, flap their wings twice from one tree and land on another tree, or don't fly at all, spreading their wings and lightly flying from a high place. With a light leap, he drew a graceful arc and landed among the branches and leaves of another tree.

   Sometimes walking around in bushes and grass.

   This is all looking for bugs to eat.

  So hang the cans and bottles on the tree, and the grasshoppers and crickets will jump out, which will attract the magpies.

   "Being bullied by those rogue big birds, the little magpies are really wronged, catch more worms for them to eat today."

  Bai Huining was very sorry for what happened to the magpies. He saw magpie nests scattered all over the ground, full of yellow dry mud and black fine dead branches... As for the better, stronger dead branches, they were snatched by the egrets to build their nests.

Hearing this, Yu Qi'an nodded with the same hatred: "Well, catch more and feed them. I will go to the county to buy some bones and minced meat for Hei Wa to eat. If there are egrets flying down, I will ask Hei Wa to help them go." drive away."

  Chen Gannian couldn't help laughing when he heard the young couple's conversation, thinking that this is a young man from the city after all, it's just interesting, um, it will cause some foreign things that the country people can't understand.

   The two of them didn't know what the old man was laughing at, so they laughed along with them, and then squatted in the grass beside the ditch to catch grasshoppers everywhere.

   All the way to the farm, there was a burst of crying from a baby.

When I looked up, I saw Chen Ling holding Ruirui who was crying heart-piercingly, followed by Wang Susu, who had a big belly and a helpless face, and Heiwa Xiaojin, who was also full of helplessness, walking out of the farm .

   "What's the matter, Rui Rui? Look at this crying, tell your uncle and aunt who bullied you?"

   Yu Qi'an and the two saw the situation, and quickly got up and walked over: "Here, let's see how many grasshoppers are in this bottle, let's take them back and feed them to your crakes, okay?"

  The little guy grabbed Chen Ling's clothes with one hand, and cried out for his father, his little face was full of tears.

   "Oh, baby, what's the matter? Hurry up and coax me, if you cry like this, your voice will become hoarse after crying."

  Chen Kannian also came over.

  Wang Susu said helplessly to the crowd: "A Ling has been out for a few days now, and today he is going to clean up the yard in the city. He is afraid that A Ling will not come back after leaving, so he will not listen to what he says, so he insists on going."

  When Bai Huining heard this, he quickly reached out to wipe the little boy's tears: "Oh, Ruirui is such a good baby. So I miss my father, and I can't bear to bear him."

This brat was like last time, Chen Ling didn't come back after a few days, he was so happy and missed after seeing Chen Ling, he jumped up and down on him, rolled on his legs, so happy I don't know how.

   As a result, Chen Ling stayed for two days and then left again, taking Heiwa Xiaojin with him.

   He suddenly had no one to play with.

  In the eyes of such a small milk baby, a day is really as long as a century.

   Chen Ling went there for two or three days, it's not that he missed his father so much.

  So this time he became vigilant, and Chen Ling would follow wherever he went.

  Yu Qi'an also said to Chen Ling: "You take him there, I have nothing to do with Hui Ning, can't I follow you to help you raise the baby?"

   "Well, I didn't say not to take it, it was him who cried more and more fiercely."

  Chen Ling spread his hands helplessly.

  Wang Susu gave him a pretty look: "It's not that you fooled him that day, saying that you would take him, but you drove the tractor and left. Ruirui is smart, so I don't believe you."

  Chen Ling took people to hunt the Pig King that day, and he also brought Heiwa Xiaojin with him, and Ruirui also followed when he saw him.

  Chen Ling coaxed him to follow Gao Xiulan back to the village to get things, and took the opportunity to leave quickly.

  Thinking of this, Chen Ling didn't care, and picked up the little guy, "Don't cry, don't cry, Dad really won't leave, Dad will take you for a ride first, let's let the pigeons go.

  You haven’t played the pigeon whistle that Uncle Yu gave you yet. "

   "Hey, don't call me uncle, I'm not married, just call me old, Ruirui don't listen to your father, call me uncle."

  Yu Qi'an frowned and shouted hastily.

  Bai Huining smiled beside him, feeling that he was out of shape.

  However, I do feel that the two of them are not yet married, so it is awkward for the uncle.

  Then the two of them will also go outside to release the pigeons.

  The weather is cool in the morning, and it is also suitable for letting the pigeons play around.

   Blow the eagle whistle first, and call back Er Bald and Xiaohua Pigeon.

  Chen Ling pushed the motorcycle out for the two of them to ride, while his father and son rode horses.

  At the same time, when the horses were released, all the cattle and sheep were also released, and Chen Kannian was asked to take care of them first.

  Then I also caught the little cat and the little mountain raccoon into the bamboo basket, and drove to the village with a horse and a motorcycle.

   Arrived at the yard of the village, first put a pigeon whistle on the pigeons.

  After loading, the second bald man flew over with two little flower pigeons.

  Then a flock of pigeons ascended to heaven, the whistle of the pigeons began to whine, and a yellow-clawed falcon followed.

   After one person and one horse slowly ran out of the village, the pigeons and falcons all flew down...

After the horse galloped and the motorcycle speeded up, the group of pigeons dispersed loudly, one by one, flying up and down around the horse and the motorcycle, back and forth, and above the head was the vigorous yellow-clawed hawk against the morning wind. Fly wantonly.

   On the way, I encountered a group of black swallows that got up in the morning to patrol for food, and the falcon would suddenly rise into the sky, turning into a black shadow, like a black lightning, and slashed against the swallows.

   Several swallows swirled and fell from the sky.

  Then, the falcon caught them in its claws one by one like a show of skill, and threw them one by one into the hole on the top cover of the bamboo basket behind Chen Ling, where the little raccoons scrambled to share the food.

   It caused pedestrians on the outer roads of the county to stop and watch, and let out bursts of loud exclamation.

  Yu Qi'an was also excited to see it. He twisted the accelerator of the motorcycle, grinned and screamed, calling the bald man a condor.

   The little milk boy in Chen Ling's arms also clenched his fists and shouted.

  As soon as the stinky boy went out and started playing, everything was fine and he stopped crying. The whole journey was filled with the sound of him screaming and screaming in excitement.

   Also asked Erbald to catch a swallow for him.

  Er Baldzi is highly skilled, just like hunting dogs, he can capture the prey without killing it.

  But the soil swallow is no less temperamental than the house swallow. Being caught by Ruirui, he started to gasp after a while...

  From Dumb Lake to the forest farm, after such a long circle, by the time it finally arrived at the small courtyard in the county town, the soil swallow was completely dead.

  The stinky boy lifted the top cover of the bamboo basket and fed it to the little raccoon.

  …

   "Dude, why are there so many mouse holes in this room?"

   "It's a pity that Little Cloud Leopard isn't here, otherwise, if they were brought here, they would all want to run away."

  Opening the door and coming to the yard, Yu Qi'an screamed, and Bai Huining didn't dare to settle down casually.

  The weeds in the courtyard have been hoeed by Gao Xiulan, but the mouse holes are hardly seen, mainly because there are a lot of mouse holes in the house.

   In the east room next to the pool, there are mouse holes everywhere at the base of the wall, at the corner of the wall, at the door.

  In the room with many mice, Gao Xiulan opened the door directly.

   Nothing else, the taste is too big.

   "Come on, I won't catch mice when I bring it here, that little thing likes to eat birds, not so much like house mice."

  Chen Ling shook his head.

  Then he caught all the raccoons in the bamboo basket and put them in front of the mouse hole. Ruirui even ran to a mouse hole, stomping his little feet to guide the little cat.

   "That's true, but the mouse won't come out, so it's useless to bring so many cats here, and the mouse holes in this house can't be filled with water."

  Yu Qi, Anton took a closer look. These little mountain raccoons were used to catching birds and mice in the orchard. When they saw the mouse hole and smelled the smell of the mouse, they ran to the mouse hole and squatted down without being directed.

   But.

  The mouse hides in the hole during the day and only comes out at night.

   Now is not a good time to catch mice in broad daylight.

  The mouse hides in the hole and cannot come out, no matter how powerful the cat is, there is nothing it can do.

   "It's okay, I have a solution."

  Chen Ling took out a small bag from his pocket.

   "This is rat poison, if you sprinkle it, it will lure the rats out of the hole."

  When Yu Qian and Yu Qian heard the name, they immediately thought of snake-attracting medicine!

   "Brother Ling, isn't this similar to snake-attracting medicine?"

   Bai Huining's eyes lit up even more, it was also Yu Qi'an who told her about it.

  Although Yu Qi'an didn't really see it, but only heard about it from Shan Mao and Zhao Dahai, but this kind of miraculous thing was enough to impress them deeply.

   "Uh, yes, not too much."

  Chen Ling smiled and responded briefly.

  Actually, this has nothing to do with snake-attracting drugs.

   It was Chen Ling's own veterinary medicine based on the old man's prescription for attracting snakes.

   The one he brought is mainly to attract wild boars.

  Wild boars are omnivorous beasts, so it is also possible to use veterinary drugs that attract wild boars to attract mice.

   "Wow, really, I didn't expect that we could see it with our own eyes."

  Bai Huining said excitedly.

  Yu Qi'an also quickly said: "Then Fugui, hurry up and start attracting mice, these little mountain raccoons are waiting impatiently."

   During the day, there are still people around. These little mountain raccoons are impatient, so they have to lure the mice out as soon as possible and let them catch them.

   As they spoke, they pulled Ruirui aside to give Chen Ling room.

  Chen Ling chuckled: "Take the brat out of the door, or the rats will scurry on people later."

   "Huh? Is that an exaggeration?"

   Having said that, Yu Qi'an and the two still took Rui Rui outside the door.

   The two big ones and one small poked their heads to see what Chen Ling was doing.

  Chen Ling opened the medicine bag, took out a handful, and sprinkled some on each mouse hole.

  After the mouse hole in this room is finished.

   It's only about a minute.

  But Koyama Tanuki was a little impatient just now.

   At this time, they all raised their ears, and stared straight at the hole holding the mouse.

   This is the detection of a change in the mouse hole.

   "Yeah, didn't you say that snake-attracting medicine has formulas? This mouse-attracting medicine is more powerful than snake-attracting medicine? You have a reaction so quickly?"

  As soon as Yu Qi'an said these words, he saw two little mountain raccoons squatting in the northeast corner of the house swishing forward.

  Amidst the squeaks, two little mountain raccoons each caught a big mouse.

   This is not the end.

  Almost at the same time, there was movement from several other mouse holes.

   One after another, the heads of black mice popped out and drilled out.

   Gradually, the room was filled with the sound of squeaking mice.

   Just like what Chen Ling said, Wuyang Wuyang's mice, like the tide, scrambled to get out and jump out.

   There may be two or three hundred big mice and small mice.

  Let these little mountain raccoons feel a little flustered for a while.

  If people don’t come out, they will definitely be jumped on by mice.

  Bai Huining saw the scene of the mouse exploding its nest, his scalp went numb, and he closed his eyes with a sound of oops.

   At this moment, Chen Ling jumped up and closed the door, shutting all the mice in the room.

  Looking from the outside of the house, the rats inside were rattling and jumping around, and then jumped to the window sill, hitting the glass with a bang.

   "My good fellow, there are only so many rats in one room. This rat poison is going to turn the world upside down."

  Yu Qi'an was stunned, and then he said to Chen Ling in a worried way: "Fugui, are those little raccoons okay? There are so many mice, don't wait for them to be bitten to death instead of being caught as mice."
