My 1995 Small Farm

 “Don’t go to the mountains, go to the farmland.”

“Lihui and the others said that rabbits were causing trouble in the farmland. They got up early to collect peanuts and dug out three rabbit holes... They followed the places where wild deer waded out in the corn field and found two rabbit holes in the corn field.

 After collecting the peanuts, I returned to the village and told other people, "Hey guys, the rabbit holes are opening more and more."

If we don't care about this, it will be over once the wheat is planted. "

Chen Ling was actually quite puzzled. There were carnivorous beasts on the surrounding mountains, such as wolves, foxes, raccoons, and farm dogs. Plus all kinds of hawks and falcons in the sky. How could there be so many rabbits?

Shanmao and Zhao Gang didn't care about this. Their eyes lit up when they heard that there were more rabbits in the field.

　　"It's a good idea if rabbits cause trouble. Use a net to stop rabbits. It's just a good time to have some fun before going into the mountains to hunt."

“...You guys wait while I get the nets. The nets are tangled up in a tangled mess.”

Wang Lihui and others came to Chen Ling to ask Chen Ling to take his dogs and catch all the rabbits.

I didn’t expect Bobcat to have a net.

He asked: "Fugui, is the net brought by Brother Zhong okay? We haven't broken the corn yet, and we haven't chopped the straw yet. The net is too small to stop the rabbits."

 Compared with trapping rabbits, they believe that Chen Ling's dogs are good at chasing rabbits and can catch them accurately.

“Don’t worry, those nets are not just two, they can be connected together. These nets are definitely big enough when connected together.”

 Chen Ling smiled: "This is the net used by the guys in the city to fight dogs. They often use the net to enclose the land, so they know where the rabbits are, so they use the net to enclose a piece of land and let the dogs in to catch the rabbits.

 Do you think these nets can be smaller? "

“Hey, use a net to enclose the land and let the dogs chase the rabbits? Is this such a big deal in the city?”

Wang Lihui and others first marveled, and then cursed, "You sons of bitches, only these rich people dare to play in different ways. Let's chase a rabbit, but we are afraid of ruining the crops."

 “Stop talking about this, there is no comparison between people.”

While grumbling, Shanmao and Zhao Gang dragged a large ball of netting in and threw it at the gate of Zhuangzi.

When a group of people saw this, they all went over and dismantled the net.

Perhaps it’s because the residual smell of dog fighting is still relatively strong on these websites.

All the dogs on the farm came over and sniffed around the fence.

The group of puppies also rushed over, wagging their tails, and played up and down around the pile of nets.

In the back, Ruirui is holding a small turtle in one hand and a small white elephant toy in the other. She follows the group of puppies and watches the adults dismantle the net.

 When the adults have taken down the nets and are going to catch rabbits in the fields, he will follow them.

Although the brat is young, he is very smart. When an adult makes a move, he knows that he is about to go out.

 In addition, we have to clean up all these nets.

 There must be something fun.

Without saying a word, he followed Chen Ling on his short legs and ran very fast.

 That is to say, Wang Cunye kept staring at him, and Chen Ling also had sharp eyes.

Seeing him following him secretly, he scooped it up into his arms and said comfortingly: "Dad is going to go to the fields. There are many bugs and mosquitoes in the corn fields, so they bite you.

You stay at home with grandpa, and daddy will catch a little rabbit for you.

 Catch the little rabbits and come back and play with these puppies, okay? "

"Come on, Ruirui, grandpa will hold you. Wait until your father catches a little rabbit for you. The little muntjac outside is about to give birth to a little muntjac. By then, the little muntjac, rabbit and puppies will be raised together."

Wang Cunye also hurriedly followed at this moment. He spoke in a hurry, but he didn't dare to walk too fast. These little naughty dogs like to chase people's heels and are very sticky. If you don't pay attention, you will step on a few of them.

 “Small packet of paper, ominous, don’t want it.”

“It’s not a little leopard, it’s a little rabbit, rabbit, Ruirui, did you forget the rabbit meat you ate at Grandpa Zhong’s house? It’s Grandpa Zhong’s birthday, and the rabbit meat is delicious.”

  “Niu Niu Xiang.”

 “Oh, you are talking about beef again.”

The old man took him from Chen Ling's arms, and you said something to me. Although the words he said were wrong, he at least made the brat calm down and didn't want to run out the door with Chen Ling.

Chen Ling and the others are going to catch rabbits today, and they need to take Erhei and the others with them.

At this time, the corn has not been confiscated and the straw has not been cut down. People cannot go in to chase the rabbits, so they have to let the dogs in.

 Just in time, the little **** at home are having babies and are in confinement. They have been idle for a long time, and it’s time for some activities.

 Even the family dogs were taken out.

　　Someone must guard it.

If that were not the case, it would be okay for the old man to take Ruirui and play with him.

 There are still too few people in the family now.

no way.

 …

 Arrived at the entrance of the village where the wheat field is.

Chen Ling found that many people had gathered here.

They were some villagers who went to the mountains to hunt walnuts and pick mushrooms. They came back before noon to cook.

I heard about the rabbit disaster and knew that people had gone to Chen Ling to borrow dogs, so I just waited here to watch the excitement.

“Good guy, I got all these nets from Fugui’s house. Fugui, your house has everything. It’s so complete.”

“Haha, Uncle Laiyun, you don’t know, Fugui’s net is specially designed to catch rabbits. As soon as we walked in and talked about it, Fugui asked Brother Zhong if the net was still there without saying anything. It was just a coincidence.

Today, with this net, if nothing else, the rabbit has just bumped into our arms. "

"That's because it ran into Fugui's arms. What does it have to do with you? You idiot, you are even more stupid than Jusheng's brother-in-law. Let alone the rabbit that ran into your arms, you couldn't even catch it if it hit your nose. .”

 This is Wang Laiyun talking about Chen Baoliang.

 Baoshuan has performed better this year.

Baoliang was disliked because he was too narrow-minded and had many thieves.

 I always get choked when I talk in the village.

“Uncle Lai Yun is right, Baoliang can’t chase a rabbit, it’s hard to catch a chicken.”

The crowd burst into cheers, and the old woman also laughed.

 Made Chen Baoliang blush until his neck became thick.

I felt quite depressed, wondering why I was as annoying as Baoshuan, my cousin, when I didn't provoke anyone.

But people were making fun of him, so he didn't dare to choke back with harsh words. He just had a stern look on his face and retorted a few words, neither serious nor serious.

 Similar to a stubborn mouth.

 Many people joked more and more vigorously.

 While they were joking, some people followed Chen Ling and the others out of curiosity to see how they would catch rabbits with nets.

In addition to people, many dogs in the village also followed Erhei and the others with small steps.

 The dogs followed the noisy crowd and headed west along the road to the Tutu Temple.

 Speaking of catching rabbits with a net.

 It’s really rare in recent years.

 It used to happen during the communes, but later on, it was just to put a clamp down on the mountain or in your own field and insert two condoms.

In fact, at this time of year, the corn stalks are tall and dense, and the wild grass is matted, so lush that it can quickly grow to the height of a person’s waist...

 In such an environment, hares are the most common.

　　The traps were planted deep in the cornfield at dusk. Just come early in the morning to collect them. If you plant a few more traps, they will basically not be empty.

With a rabbit net, you cannot lower the net into the cornfield, you have to go to the foot of the mountain.

 It just so happened that the lynx brought back enough nets.

　　A dog fighting net can cover almost half of their farmland in the countryside.

Not to mention that the lynx brought back so many, it was not just one person's net, there were dozens of small nets that were disassembled.

 The small net is twenty or thirty meters long. Think about it, how crazy this gang of dogfighters is.

 Can be surrounded by a net and played at any time.

 Now that so many nets have fallen into their hands, they must not waste them.

 Chen Ling and Shan Mao discussed it and took the big guys to stretch the net at the foot of the mountain. They were divided into two groups, one group went south and the other group spread it all the way north.

 As the old saying goes, a rabbit goes up a mountain and a pheasant comes down.

 The rabbit has short front legs and long hind legs. It is its strength to escape up the mountain and into the jungle.

Pheasants, as for pheasants, can spread their wings and glide when they run to an open area at the foot of the mountain. Once they hide in crop fields, people will be blinded by them.

These two things are what country people deal with the most, and even little kids understand them, even if they can’t make much sense.

 So Chen Ling’s intention of setting up the net like this does not need to be explained, everyone can understand it.

 Not to mention bringing a dog.

 I knew that Chen Ling was going to let the dog chase the rabbit here.

They are close to the mountains. Wild rabbits run up and down the mountains frequently. Many times when chasing them, they will run up the mountains unconsciously.

To block the net at the foot of the mountain is to wait for them to fall into the trap.

“Grandma, it took more than an hour to set up the net before we even saw the rabbit.”

 Chen Ling wiped her sweat and felt that it was right to let that brat Ruirui come over. After this guy came over, he didn't even formally chase the rabbits out, he just laid out a net.

“Don’t tell me, if we build such a long net, we can catch all the rabbits hidden in the field this year.”

"What you said is true. Fugui and I just heard you say that wild rabbits are causing trouble. We haven't seen any rabbits jumping around when we got here. Don't end up wasting all your efforts."

 Shanmao deliberately joked.

 It is definitely not accurate to say that I didn’t see any rabbits when I came here.

For more than an hour, Erhei and his group of dogs were busy and caught several rabbits.

 It’s just that their activity range is relatively large, and the rabbits were bitten to death before they could even run toward the net.

 Chen Ling was not afraid that they would scare snakes and hares in the crop fields.

Standing next to the sweet potato and peanut fields, I looked at the rabbit holes hidden in the dense grass beside the ditch.

"Oh, Brother Zhong, what you said will definitely not be in vain. Even if there are no rabbits, there are so many wild animals coming down the mountain these days, and such a long net is not in vain... You ask the rich, our village is now keeping watch at night to watch the green grass. Everyone rushes to go.

It's no big deal for those wild animals to damage those crops. They only eat two bites, and they themselves have told them that.

Everyone can make a lot of money just from the meat from wild animals. "       "Yes, yes, even if there were not these rabbits, this net would not be in vain. "

“Well, there are rabbits. Now the corn stalks are high and the grass is dense. The rabbits are hidden inside and we can’t see anything.”

　　　…”

Hearing what they said to each other, Chen Ling rubbed his stomach and was not in the mood to interrupt. He had not eaten lunch and was so hungry that he was still in the mood to talk.

So he called Shanmao and Zhao Gang to go back for dinner.

 He also stewed a large pot of venison and was about to eat and drink with the two of them, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as a rabbit.

He asked Wang Lihui and others to go back to eat and drink, but they refused to go.

 Said to keep the net here.

Chen Ling puts the dogs here to chase rabbits, and waits for them to chase the rabbits into the net.

 I came back to collect it after I went home and had a meal.

Wang Lihui and others were afraid that someone would pick up the rabbit and were reluctant to leave.

He only asked the women who came to watch the fun to go back and get steamed buns and pancakes for them, and he didn't move his buttocks even though he said nothing.

When Chen Ling saw this, he stopped advising them and led Shan Mao and the two home.

 Then eat and drink a lot.

Have a rest at home for a while before going out slowly.

 Because there are two steep slopes between Chen Ling's house and the dirt road at Tutu Temple.

 So the net was not spread all the way to Zhuangzi.

It just made a detour to the east on the first steep **** and stopped for a long time at the bottom of the slope.

 There are also many rabbit nests hidden on the edge of the crop fields down the slope.

 To the south, it’s almost to Laohewan.

 That’s why it takes a long time.

 …

When Chen Ling and the two of them, who were a little drunk, walked to the entrance of the village, they saw Xiuying's sister-in-law and Wang Lishan driving a donkey cart hurriedly over.

“Sister-in-law, are you going to collect cotton?”

 Chen Dazhi’s family originally planned not to grow cotton last year. From planting to harvesting, insects were constantly attracted, and pesticides had to be sprayed every now and then, which annoyed people to death.

 But I didn’t expect that the price of cotton was quite good last year, so I would plant it again this year.

　　"Oh, rich people don't have to collect cotton. They have to pick up rabbits quickly. Your dog is really useful. It's only been two hours. Brother Dazhi and the others said they can't pick up the rabbits posted on the Internet."

“Hurry up and get in the car. There are so many rabbits that we don’t even bother to call you. We just drive straight to the car. Once the rabbits are full, we can take you to the village.”

Wang Lishan also said eagerly.

Then he whipped his whip and drove the donkey cart towards the foot of the mountain.

 “Holy crap, as for being so anxious, how many rabbits are there?”

The lynx was still a little drunk and didn’t want to get on the donkey cart.

 Chen Ling said: "Brother Lishan, you go first. We drank wine and didn't take the car. There are so many people and it's crowded."

As they were talking, they also saw a donkey cart at the entrance of the village in the south walking along the small dirt road over there to the foot of the mountain.

　　 is Wenchao of the Er Mao Don family.

Zhao Gang saw it and said in surprise: "Another driver driving a cart. Are there so many rabbits?"

 “You’ve seen them driving the car, they must be indispensable.”

"Ah? In this case, we have to go there quickly. Are you afraid that they will get rid of all the rabbits?"

"What are you afraid of? There are so many people watching. If you have this idea, who will call him next time if this happens? Besides, do you think you are my dog's breadwinner?"

Chen Ling smiled: "Let's go through here."

 “Oh, too.”

Zhao Gang is not familiar with the people's sentiments yet, so Shanmao doesn't have so many questions. He knows that Chen Ling doesn't care about it either.

 Chen Ling would not get so close to people with such problems.

The foot of the mountain looks far away, and it’s quite fast to walk.

 Not long after, the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Wealth has finally arrived. Are you so big-hearted that you fell asleep at home after drinking?"

“We want to call you to collect the rabbits. There are rabbits everywhere that the dogs chase and bump into the net. They can’t even pick them up, and many of them ran away.”

　　　…”

 “Good guy, there are so many rabbits.”

 Chen Ling and the others opened their eyes wide, and saw that there were grass-yellow hares bumping into the long net at the foot of the mountain every once in a while.

When they arrived, they could even see rabbits running away in panic from the crop fields in the distance and crashing into the net.

 “There is one here…here I am, and there is another one here…”

Several young guys saw so many rabbits that their hands were shaking when they were picking them up. They were shivering and couldn't pick them up.

At Wang Lihui’s feet, hares of all sizes were already bundled with straw.

"Haha, there are so many rabbits. Otherwise, there are so many rabbits that it will cause trouble and there is no way to catch them. I can't even pinch them all with my hands, so I'd better throw them into the donkey cart first."

Wang Lihui said with a smile: "If I throw a cart into a cart and take it to your village, I mainly rely on your dogs. Brother Zhong's nets, you have to pick them first no matter what."

Zhao Gang had never seen this scene before and was a little dumbfounded: "...there are really so many rabbits, there must be hundreds of them."

While I was in a daze, a ferocious barking of dogs came from the cornfield in the distance. Amidst a violent shaking, several strange large birds flapped their wings and soared into the sky.

 “Hey, such a big goose? Is it a swan?”

“What swans? They are wild geese. What’s so strange about wild geese flying in autumn.”

Chen Ling saw that the two of them had finally sobered up: "Come on, help pick up rabbits. If this guy catches rabbits at night, there will definitely be more. Now he has to pull two donkey carts, and the tractor may not be able to load them at night."

 “How come there are so many rabbits?”

Zhao Gang is still muttering.

Shanmao said that they had never chased rabbits with such a big battle before, but the method was similar. Sometimes dogs were used to chase rabbits, and sometimes dogs were not used to chase rabbits.

Chasing the rabbits with a dog for two hours can almost catch all the rabbits that have left their nests.

 If you don’t use a net, you have to scatter some food, scatter it at six o’clock in the evening, and collect it at twelve o’clock in the evening.

 At the most they could get 180 rabbits at that time.

 Let’s not talk about Chen Ling.

 “What should I do if I catch the light?”

“You don’t know that this wild rabbit can give birth to cubs at any time except in winter. If you put it in the south where it doesn’t snow, it can give birth all year round.

And there are two uteruses.

Happy on one side, the other side can also breed. "

 Shanmao explained cheerfully.

 “No, can it still be like this?”

 Zhao Gang immediately opened his mouth and was even more dumbfounded.

 Chen Ling heard about this for the first time, "Damn, you can still breed while pregnant. This... is so perverted."

“I just remembered it when I saw so many rabbits. If Uncle Han was here, he would have thought of this a long time ago.”

The lynx shook his head, skillfully grasped the grass stalks with his hands, tied a rabbit's legs, and threw it towards the hillside on the other side of the barrier.

 “In that case, this hare is still a low-key wealthy businessman.”

 Chen Ling also **** the rabbit and said, "Then I have to punish them."

　　A busy job.

 Erhei and his group of dogs are very addicted to chasing rabbits.

 At noon, I spent two hours hunting in the cornfield without taking a break.

After being called over by Chen Ling, he dug out the rabbit hole in front of them.

 I dug around and dug out a nest of little hares.

It's good now, Chen Ling just took it back for Rui Rui to play with, so there's no need to look for it.

It’s really hard to deal with such a large number of rabbits. Let’s not even mention skinning them when we get home. They would have to work hard to disembowel them, and I’d probably have to wait until night.

“How are you doing, Fugui? Are you coming tonight?”

Zhao Gang was not tired, and he was still addicted. He winked at Chen Ling and said, "Brother Zhong said there are more rabbits at night."

“Pull them down, we’ve already caught so many rabbits, what else can we catch when the rabbits have stopped? Let’s wait until spring starts tomorrow. It’s fun to catch rabbits in the wheat fields at the beginning of spring evening.”

Chen Ling waved his hand.

He just counted the rabbits on the donkey cart and found that there were more than two hundred, close to three hundred.

 The donkey on the cart looks like a hill.

Wang Wenchao's side is similar, and even next to Laohewan, the number will be more.

 There are still six or seven hundred of them.

 Based on the fact that there are thirteen to fifteen little rabbits in a litter, half of them survive, so it is estimated that there will be a hundred rabbits in the litter.

  But it is said that there are a hundred rabbits in the nest, but in fact the hare has two uteruses and the ability to reproduce all year round...

　　It’s not an exaggeration either.

Haven't found it on the east side of the village, nor on the two steep slopes to the north.

This guy, it’s not that he doesn’t know, he’s just shocked.

Hare is really a low-key wealthy family.

“Well, if you have nothing to do from now on, take the weasel to block the rabbit’s nest.”

 Chen Ling made a decision in his mind: "When Brother Xian and the others are training the puppies, they should also harass these guys, otherwise they will grow up really fast."

As for so many rabbits, he and Bobcat split most of them. It was almost August 15th, so they sold some and leftover smoked rabbits to give as gifts.
