My 1995 Small Farm

Chapter 649 Is the old turtle gone?

It was in the afternoon that day when Chen Ling heard about the incident in Kinmen Village.

 By this time he had already gone into the mountains.



In addition, if possible, he plans to take another detour to the Miasma Valley in the southwest in the past two days.

 Look at the strange miasma valley, is it also a strange sinkhole?

  Or formed by the influence of meteorites.

As a result, not long after entering the mountain, I met Chen Guoxing and Chen Guowang, two families who were wandering to Beishan to pick wild pears, and they talked about Kinmen Village.

It is said that they went to Changle Township to attend the market in the morning, and when they came back, Kinmen Village was in chaos.

“We only had a wolf quarrel in the middle of the night a few days ago, but it has calmed down since then. That day, Uncle Shun also said that we should set off more firecrackers before going to bed at night to scare them, but it was useless in the end.”

“Yes, yes, I didn’t expect that it would end up causing trouble in Kinmen Village. It was still broad daylight, how scary it was.”

 The two old men talked about this matter with Chen Ling, and finally analyzed it themselves.

 There are also some wild things running down the mountain in front of our village and sneaking into the village at night. They are old wild boars and old wolves. They are very scary, but they are basically gone recently.

I guess he knew that Chen Ling's dog was very powerful and didn't dare to come.

 Chen Ling just smiled after hearing this. There were many things that he couldn't figure out in the mountains, but he was praised for the effectiveness of his dog, so he just said a few more words.

 Ask them about their recent harvest and how much they sold for.

He also said that there are many hunters in Kinmen Village. The hunters often hunt and easily provoke wild beasts in the mountains. There are a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains this year. It is easy to be retaliated. If something happens, it will be a big deal. It is best not to come from that way when it is late. passing by.

 After that, Hei Wa and two others continued to kill towards the Daqin Mountains in the north.

 Chen Ling's battles in the mountains have been the same the past few times.

There are two bald men in the sky, a black baby and a little gold on the ground, and a weasel in the pocket or backpack...

Even though the weasel is small, it is very useful and can be used in many places.

 After going into the mountains too many times.

 The five weasels became more and more courageous.

The sky was clear in the afternoon, and the sunshine was still warm. Three naughty little weasels looked at the birds and squirrels jumping on the trees, and they were always ready to move.

The round eyes were unblinking, and he was licking his tongue unconsciously, looking like a greedy little cat.

 Chen Ling did not restrict their actions.

But they are now more cautious.

 They are not much different from the little yellow chubby ones. If they are not sure of catching them, they will not attack easily.

 Passing by a rocky beach.

Between the flowing streams, there are many white migratory birds in the ditches, using their long legs to forage for small fish and shrimps in the streams.

At this moment, all five weasels became energetic.

　　He ran down from Chen Ling's trousers and quickly jumped into the lush grass.

Just when I was about to lurk over and hunt these big birds.

The sky suddenly turned dark, and something was thrown down with a 'plop'.

　　A flock of big birds flew away in fright.

 In the group of big birds, there are also a few more peculiar birds mixed in. When they take off, the sound of flapping their wings is as harsh as a whistle.

When the weasels heard the noise and noticed that all the big birds were flying away, they all curiously climbed up to the tall grass poles, turned their little heads one by one, and looked around smartly and curiously to see what was going on.

“Hey, bald man, where did you catch a little wild boar?”

Chen Ling looked up and saw that Erbaldy had dropped a small wild boar.

 The little wild boar is dead.

At this time, the weasel family was surrounded by very curious people, looking over and over.

Chen Ling walked over and picked up the little wild boar cub.

 The little cub is just about the size of two palms.

“These wild boars are really coming less and less according to the season. How dare they give birth to so many cubs at any time? They won’t be afraid that they won’t make it through the winter.”

Chen Ling muttered.

 His statement was purely inexperienced.

 In the past, when there were many hunters in the village, wild boars with cubs could often be encountered in winter.

 It can also snow heavily.

 Can’t survive the winter?

That does not exist.

Of course, meeting a wild boar with cubs in the mountains is not like wandering around with cubs in spring and summer.

how is it.

 The hunter went into the mountains and saw a strange snow hill.

 The man and the dog approached.

The snow hills suddenly started to move, and a large amount of snow fell. A large amount of hot steam would come out of the grass nest below, just like taking out the steamer after steaming the steamed buns. It was the place where the wild boar slept on the ground.

 Under the belly of a wild boar, there are often little wild boar cubs hiding.

 To keep warm under a large wild boar.

　　The little wild boar is still very tenacious. It is no problem to stay together with the big wild boar to stay warm and survive the whole winter.

Of course, Chen Ling didn’t go into the mountains much in the past two winters.

It's all about setting up a trap, setting up a trap, and setting up two traps.

 Eat less in winter.

 It is easier to catch any prey with a clamp than at other times.

“Eh? Is this a bite? Is it like those pheasants that sucked blood after being bitten?”

 Chen Ling saw that the little wild boar had only the marks left by Er Baldy's pair of eagle claws on its body.

There are also many teeth marks.

 But what?

Compared with those pheasants that are killed and randomly discarded in the mountains and forests, this tooth mark is still different.

 The canine teeth are not that deep.

“You guys are stealing other people’s prey again, right?”

 Chen Ling was a little speechless when she saw the two bald men landing on the big rocks on the rocky beach, holding their wings and shaking their heads proudly, like an old man.

 Many people don’t know.

Many of the birds of prey, such as hawks and falcons, do not look so majestic and ferocious.

Although they are also very arrogant, they are difficult to tame if people catch them.

 But in the environment in which they live, they are not so arrogant, and they are not so unwilling to give up for five buckets of rice.

on the contrary.

 They like to steal things.

 Enjoy the pleasure of getting something for nothing.

 In addition to stealing, I also like to rob things.

 Enjoy the thrill of being a bully.

 That's what the two bald men are like.

Having been nourished by cave-heaven spiritual beings is extremely powerful.

 I often go out to find excitement.

 From sneak attacks on beehives to snatching food from wild beasts...

Recently, I followed Chen Ling and discovered the place called Big Water Pond.

 It has gotten worse.

 Every now and then, he would pick up some prey carcasses that had been mostly eaten.

 Some of them even stink.

 Maybe it feels like it can pick up good things every time it goes out, and it feels very accomplished.

 It’s more addictive.

 But Chen Ling was a little worried that it would like to eat carrion.

 There is no problem with poultry eating carrion.

However, if you are used to eating carrion, people will go to the door of someone's house to collect it when someone dies.

 This is quite unsettling.

It's better to put an end to it in advance.

 Most of the prey it picked up was fed to the dogs.

 The dog is fine, there is no such problem.

 Subsequently.

 He confiscated the little wild boar cub that Er Baldy had picked up.

The meat of these little wild boar cubs is tender and fragrant, with no strange smell at all.

Chen Ling also planned to take it back and keep it for himself.

Whether you roast suckling pig or stew the meat directly, it is always delicious. so…

 There is no place for a bald man.

　　Nor is it like a drooling weasel.

As for Hei Wa and Xiao Jin, when Er Baldy dropped the little wild boar just now, they went out to patrol the surrounding area without saying a word.

 After returning from a patrol, I seemed to have discovered something.

He took Chen Ling in a different direction.

This time it is slightly west and south compared to the ponds in the Daqin Mountains.

 After passing the rocky beach, continue climbing through the forest.

 Walking not far away, we found ourselves in a narrow valley.

 At this time there was a big battle going on.

 The beautiful scenery at the bottom of the valley and the shallow clear water were all made a mess.

“Good guy, it turns out that the senior brother and the second senior brother were having sex. Let me tell you, how come this little wild boar has such teeth marks on his body? It turns out that the wild monkey went crazy.”

 The scene in the valley surprised even Chen Ling when he saw it for the first time.

It turned out to be several wild boars with cubs, surrounded by a large group of wild monkeys.

 An angry wild monkey is a big deal.

Moreover, the battle is still huge now, with many monkeys and a large number of people.

I don’t know if several monkey groups got together or what happened.

 In short, it was just dozens of wild monkeys surrounding a few wild boars with their cubs.

They were all squealing, some were pouncing on the wild boars and biting them, and some were scratching them. They were so ferocious that it was scary.

 Some wild monkeys were thrown away by wild boars and were injured to the point of being crushed to death or trampled to death, and there were quite a few of them.

 “What a fierce battle.”

 Chen Ling glanced at the two dogs and the weasel who were holding their breath, and then at the two bald men hovering in the sky who were eager to try, and quickly took out the camera from the cave to take some exciting photos.

 He was not interested in the fight between these monkeys and wild boars, nor was he interested in finding out why the two sides were fighting.

 In fact, in the past year, wild monkeys have had a very difficult life in the mountains.

 After all kinds of ferocious beasts came one after another, their life was not as smooth as in previous years.

 Leopards bully them, wolves bully them, jackals bully them, and black bears bully them too.

Even the little boys in the village dislike them and go to the mountains to shoot them with slingshots.

It is not unusual for them to gather in such a large group.

I guess I've had enough of fighting the wild boar.

 Chen Ling took a few photos and thought: "It's better to be a forest ranger. You may encounter anything."

“That’s right...I didn’t expect that these monkeys who used to be annoying would have such a miserable day..."

But think about the pregnant female wolf I encountered when I went deep into the Daqin Mountains for the first time this year.

So he suppressed the idea of ​​​​intervening.

 Instead, I have a little expectation: these wild monkeys are now oppressed and starting to swarm, what will happen next?

 …

 On a clear afternoon, the sun is very warm, the green wheat fields are undulating, and the cattle, sheep and pack horses on the slopes are swaying their tails and grazing leisurely with their heads down.

 Old people who are too old to go into the mountains to pick wild fruits are harvesting some wild sorghum with sickles on the slopes and beside the ditch. They plan to use the sorghum stalks to make some cooking utensils or brooms.

Some people took advantage of the warm afternoon to select cotton with a basket of cotton peaches not far from the thatched house of Zhao Yubao's family.

  Choosing cotton is similar to choosing vegetables.

Put the cotton peaches that have not grown enough to split open to expose the cotton waddings, flatten them with a hammer, and then take out the cotton waddings with your hands.

 One by one, just like picking peppers, it is very labor-intensive and hard work.

Even my rough and calloused hands, which are often used for farm work, sometimes become red and swollen after working for half a day.

 On a sunny afternoon, there were people grazing, some taking care of children, some doing small jobs, some chatting, and some playing chess and cards.

 A harmonious scene.

 There have been fewer outsiders in the past two days.

 Chen Xiaoer’s family also gradually integrated into the village.

 If nothing else, just deliver a few big meat buns to the neighbors, and that will basically bring you success.

 In the countryside, people are most afraid of being accused behind their backs of being greedy for petty gains and always like to take advantage of others.

 So what comes must go.

After receiving the big meat buns from Chen Xiaoer's house, there must be something to eat, so it goes without saying that they were delivered to your door.

How many times can we go back and forth before we become familiar with each other?

There is no need to say more about Wu Fei and his wife.

I worked directly as a teacher in the village primary school. Not to mention the folks in my own village, I also quickly became familiar with the parents of children in other villages.

Not to mention that the two of them are still responsible. If it is windy or rainy and it is difficult to go home, they will accompany the students, or they will be sent home directly.

The village is usually very harmonious like this.

"Third Aunt, Aunt Xiuhua, didn't you go up the mountain today? I came back from the village market and passed by Kinmen Village. I heard there was a wolf disaster. Two little ones were lost, and half of the village was gone. I'm looking for it all over the mountain.

This sounds a bit scary. Shouldn’t our village go to the mountains tomorrow? "

 A young man from the village rode a bicycle and carried two large bamboo baskets, staggering past on the path down the slope.

“We heard about this after having lunch, and we heard about the prosperity of the country when we came back from the market... If we can’t go up the mountain, how can we do it?

How many times do people go to the mountains a day and how much money can they make? Can they listen to us? "

Wang Lihui’s mother, the third aunt said.

“Then I’ll go to the brigade to look for my fifth uncle, but he’s not here either. There’s no one in the brigade, and the door is locked.”

"There must be no one. As soon as the country is prosperous and the two families return to the village, your fifth uncle will get the message. Without wasting any time, he will go to the county town to report."

"Don't worry, your mother is fine in the mountains. Our village is different from other villages. Our village and county allow the brigade to keep guns in the gun warehouse, and they are equipped with guns when they go to the mountains. Kinmen Village does not This is what happened after being shot."

“Oh, yes, yes, no matter who goes up the mountain in our village, they can carry a gun, and they are not afraid of encountering wolves.”

 So the more you speak, the higher your tone becomes.

 The more I talked about it, the more proud I became.

 Our Chenwangzhuang is so special and is so cared for.

“However, speaking of it, the panic among people in Kinmen Village is really scary. It scared me so much that I forgot that there is no shortage of guns in our village.

　Okay, there’s nothing else to do, I’ll go back first. "

 “Go back, by the way, how much did the two lambs cost?”

"Oh, no, it's very difficult to sell. Two lambs were sold for less than 80 yuan. I went there in the morning. They were only sold in the afternoon. It's very rare...I won't feed the sheep next year, so I will follow them. Just like Fugui, learn how to feed a few cows."

The young man was talking to the two old ladies. When the men on the **** in the distance heard the conversation, they shouted a few times and asked a few questions.

 Everyone sighed when they learned that the price of sheep was not good this year.

In the mountains, there are grass, trees, and grass everywhere, and there's so much to eat, so raising sheep is the most suitable place.

 In the past two years, the prices of pigs and sheep have not been good.

 Pigs are better. There are some outsiders in the village who like to eat pork, chickens, ducks and geese.

 A slaughtered pig can only be eaten for a few days, but the price paid for it is much higher than the market price.

 But as for mutton, no one eats it.

 You can only go to the market and sell it yourself.

 So all these folks are still very concerned about the price of sheep.

 Now that the price of sheep is not good, people are talking about raising cattle and pigs next year.

 In addition, it will soon be time to breed the pigs again.

 There is a lot to talk about too.

 Where the breeding pigs are good, where the boars are suitable for breeding, and the price is cheap, etc.

While the discussion was in full swing, a harsh noise came from the brigade's loudspeaker, and then Wang Laishun's familiar voice rang out.

　　"Attention, attention, all the villagers have paid attention, I just came back from the county, now let me tell you something..."

After the shouting was completed, all the villagers in the village were in an uproar and their expressions changed.

 Wang Laishung just said two things on the loudspeaker.

One thing is about Kinmen Village. Let anyone in the village who has relatives or acquaintances in Kinmen Village be able to help. The county has also sent people to go, but in the end, there are more people than strength.

 Another thing happened, there was another water monster in the Jinshui River.

　　Capsized several boats belonging to the Gun Gang.

 The gun gang is naturally a boat gang that hunts waterfowl and passes by migratory birds.

 Forget it about Kinmen Village.

 Why did the water monster appear again?

 What happened in the second half of the year?

　　Why something happened in the mountains, something happened in the water too.

 And that's the territory of Prince Turtle in the water.

  Could it be that... Prince Turtle no longer protects them?

When the villagers thought about this possibility, they felt even more panicked than those in Kinmen Village.
