My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 111 Crab on the Tree

   Lynx was also very embarrassed to hear people say this, but he was not good at words, he just stood awkwardly outside the crowd, not knowing what to do for a while.

   "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's our fault, we shouldn't have brought dogs into the village."

At this time, an old man in a felt hat next to him stood up, apologized to the couple, and took some money from his bag and handed it over: "It's our fault to scare the child, take it and buy something for the child Yes."

   "We don't want it. It's not about money. If some of you didn't know the rich and famous, you wouldn't be able to give much money today."

   These two are Chen Ze's eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law. Although they don't have much contact with Chen Ling, they are still a grandfather.

   They took the money from Lynx just now, but this time they received it again. They were afraid that Chen Ling's face would not look good, so they pushed the money away from the old man.

Hearing this, the old man smiled at Chen Ling, and then said to Chen Jiang and his wife: "The money Zhong Lin gave you just now was paid to you for hurting your dog. I am giving this to the children, you two will take it soon. Well, otherwise we will not be at ease.”

After saying this, the surrounding villagers also persuaded them to accept it. These non-local people are not good at even dogs. They almost hurt the baby at home. It should be paid more money. Just fine.

  Under all kinds of nasty words from the villagers, the old man was not annoyed, and said sincerely: "Just look at the face of the rich little brother and give us a chance to admit our mistakes."

  Chen Jiang looked at Chen Ling and then looked at each other before accepting it.

  …

   "Teacher, thanks to you just now, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle this situation."

After    followed Chen Ling into the village, Lynx let out a long breath.

After hearing this, the old man smiled slightly: "Xiao Lin, what you said is wrong, if you didn't get to know this rich little brother today, and the two dogs of his family played a key role, this matter would not have ended well. "

   "Yes, thanks to the rich brothers."

Bobcat nodded gratefully, and then said to Chen Ling: "Brother Fugui, let me introduce to you. This is my teacher and the elder in my family. His name is Han Ninggui. He used to be the director of the National Geographic Scientific Expedition Department, and now he is in charge of endangered species. The tracking records and investigations of animals and plants, familiar people call him Professor Han."

   After the introduction of Lynx, the old man smiled and extended his hand to Chen Ling: "Brother Fugui, let's get to know you formally, I'm Han Ninggui."

   "Hello, Professor Han."

  Chen Ling smiled and shook hands with him.

   Then he took the two of them to the house, and the others stayed on the dam to guard the car. They didn't dare to bring the dog into the village again after the incident.

Through the conversation with the two, Chen Ling also knew that they came here mainly to pick up the cuckoo. By the way, he asked if his two red eels were still for sale. Who knew that the dogs in the village smelled an unfamiliar smell and rushed They screamed, causing the chaos just now.

   "The two dogs you raised are absolutely perfect. Their fierceness, physique, and appearance are all first-class. Even if they are thrown into a pack of wolves, they can become wolf kings."

   Walking towards Chen Ling's house, Professor Han was still praising the two dogs beside Chen Ling.

   Then he couldn't help but ask if he could breed, but Chen Ling refused.

   "What a pity, what a pity."

  The old man smacked his mouth and shook his head.

   They also need dogs when they go on scientific expeditions in the mountains. The current technology has not yet reached the level of later generations. It is impossible to go deep into dangerous places without a dog to warn them. A good hunting dog is really the best companion for field work.

   It’s just that good dogs are hard to come by.

Just like the two hounds who made trouble this time, it's not just whether they are trained well, but also the dog's temperament. The ferocity is aroused, whether it is a person or a prey, they want to jump up when they see it, which is naturally impossible.

   And a good breed of dog is different, loyal and stable, not lacking in ferocity, but also very obedient, knowing what to do when, but such a hunting dog is hard to come by, and it is hard to come by.

  Chen Ling naturally didn't know about Professor Han's psychological activities. After taking them home and briefly introducing them to Wang Susu and Liang Hongyu, Chen Ling moved out the water tank where the eels were kept.

   "Huh? I didn't expect it to be a pair of red dragons, Xiaolin, you have a good eye."

When Professor Han saw the two red eels in the water tank, his eyes lit up immediately, and he became interested: "This thing is a mutant species of eel after genetic mutation, but it is extremely rare, and it is rare to see it for decades under normal circumstances. get."

   "Isn't this the blood eel? I've seen a lot of them in Guangdong Province. We also have this thing here?"

   Qin Rongxian looked at the water tank and asked curiously.

"This is not a blood eel. The blood eel is only found in the cross waters of salt water and fresh water. It is dark red like blood, so it is called the blood eel. Where is the sea near us? Look at the color of this eel, it is bright. Red, very bright, when swimming in the water, it still looks a little translucent. The whiskers on its mouth are much longer than those of yellow eel and blood eel. This is a pair of dragon whiskers, which can grow up to half the size of the body. So long is no exaggeration, in ancient times they were auspicious, and the emperor and Laozi would treat them as dragon species."

  Professor Han shook his head and explained to the two.

   then turned around and asked the Bobcat: "What price did you pay for the rich little brother, Xiaolin?"

   "I started out with 10,000 yuan. Later, I saw that these two dogs from Fugui Brothers' family are very good. I wanted to make him a friend, and I added another 2,000 yuan."

   Lynx smiled lightly.

   "Teacher, what do you think of this price?"

   "Well, it's a fair price."

  Professor Han nodded, and explained to Chen Ling: "The main reason is that the red dragon is too delicate. We have a long way to go, and we have to take some risks. If it is in the urban area, it is not impossible to add another two thousand to you."

  Chen Ling also understands this. He has replaced the fish in the tank with the fish that grew up from the first fry, and he is not at a loss at this price.

   Several people were talking to each other, but Qin Rongxian and the old couple were listening with wide-eyed eyes. The old couple looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

   As they are, they are not shocked by this amount of money.

  The main reason for them was that Chen Ling would be silent. Who would have thought that two fish could be sold for more than 10,000 yuan. This is completely different from what they imagined.

On the other hand, what surprised them even more was Chen Ling. This kid was too calm. With other people, two fish could be sold for more than 10,000 yuan. Bar.

   As a result, he didn't even blink an eye, and when he talked about the price, his tone was neither salty nor light, as if he was selling Chinese cabbage.

   really made the two of them look at Chen Ling with admiration and gained a new understanding.

   "I don't love money, nor do I covet power. This kid is kind."

  Liang Hongyu couldn't help but admire in his heart.

   After admiring, he quickly became distressed: "This child doesn't value foreign objects at all. I want to do something for him, but it's difficult."

   Husband and wife for decades, Qin Rongxian naturally understood what she was thinking. Seeing her frowning, he took her hand and shook it gently, telling her not to think too much and just let it go.

  Liang Hongyu raised her head at her husband and smiled softly, indicating that she was fine, but she was thinking: Even if the child does not want, I have to give it, at least I have to do my part.

Then he walked up to Chen Ling and the others, and joined the conversation, saying that she had heard of the 'red dragon', and then talked about the Fengshui of the palace, where is the source of the auspicious argument, and felt that Professor Han's bid was a bit low. .

Professor Han saw that the old couple's temperament was not ordinary people, and they spoke with a capital accent, so they didn't dare to be negligent, so he explained helplessly: "Big brother and sister-in-law, I'm doing research in this area, and I can fool you for two or three thousand yuan. Can't you do it? I'm also a student from all over the world, so I don't want this old face if it spreads out."

   "Come on, you intellectuals have the darkest hearts."

  Liang Hongyu snorted when he heard the words, "If you increase the price again, I just said it, at least a few thousand dollars more in the city. If you make up the whole thing for the Red Dragon, it's 20,000 yuan."

After speaking, seeing Chen Ling's surprised expression, he said: "Fugui, don't talk, this old man just sees you as young, bullies you and doesn't understand, this red dragon is given away, how can money be measured, 20,000 The bucks are all for less."

   "Oh, sister-in-law, see what you said..."

"We still have to go back to the city. We come and go, and the road is so long. If the fish were tossed to death, wouldn't they be adrift? Besides, we took this fish back for research, not In order to make friends with the powerful, you really misunderstood us."

  Professor Han was suddenly dumbfounded. Looking at the performance of the old couple, he thought it was Chen Ling's elder, and it was another explanation.

In the end, I had to say to Chen Ling: "Well, Xiaolin made you a friend and added two thousand dollars to you, old man, I also made a friend with you, and gave you another three thousand, fifteen thousand, this pair of red dragons, you If it's sold, we'll take it today, just because we have a car with a water tank."

   "Sell, why don't you sell it? I'm being raised at home and I'm being remembered, and I have to prevent people from stealing it. You can take it away today."

  Chen Ling didn't have much to say. If he could sell it for 15,000 yuan, he would not refuse. Of course, adding these three thousand won't let them add in vain, and changed the water again to ensure that the two red eels will definitely not die on the way.

   Afterwards, Chen Ling helped the two send the fish to the dam, and the lynx was also very happy, and asked Du Juan to give the money on the spot.

After    came back, Liang Hongyu was still not angry, "You are too thin-skinned, auntie, if you talk about it again, it will definitely sell for 20,000 yuan. If you ask your Uncle Qin, when I was young, it was easy to talk about business."

  Chen Ling laughed when he heard the words. It was the first time he saw Liang Hongyu's side. In the past, this fashionable old lady was elegant and capable, and her speech was very gentle.

   But it was the first time that the two elders came to the house, and it was to make him sell more money. Naturally, he would not blame him, but he just felt a little strange in his heart.

   "Don't worry about your aunt, she's an old-fashioned person who wants to intervene when she sees a business."

   Qin Rongxian said with a smile, he knew that his wife was not helping Chen Ling, and he was anxious, thinking about protecting Chen Ling everywhere.

   Xin said that he was not afraid that other children would find out.

  Chen Ling didn't care, turned around and handed a thick stack of money to Wang Susu.

   "Put away Susu, from today onwards, we are also a household of ten thousand yuan."

"Um."

  Wang Susu glanced at Chen Ling with bright eyes, her face was shallow, and she was very happy.

  With this money, I no longer have to worry about the lack of income in my family, and I immediately feel a lot more at ease.

   "Go to the county town tomorrow and save it, it's not safe to keep it at home."

   "Okay, I'll go to town tomorrow and sell our eggs by the way."

  Chen Ling felt extremely satisfied when she saw Wang Susu's smiling face, and answered loudly with a smile.

  …

   "Did you see, the couple is fine, what are you messing around with? It's annoying."

   "More money and less money are secondary. The young couple live a comfortable life, better than nothing? After all these years, haven't you understood this?"

   "Oh, I know, I'm just anxious. I already know the identity of the child, but I can't help him. I feel uncomfortable."

"When I think of his cruel mother who left him for more than ten years, no matter what, I sometimes get so angry that I can't sleep in the middle of the night. She was so good back then. Her uncle praised her, her parents praised her, and everyone praised her. I am full of praise, I thought she was an ambitious person, who knows that she will not want to kiss her son in the end."

   "Rong Xian, it's her business to be cruel, we can't let the child suffer."

   "I know, I know, let's walk around more in the future, see the children more, and in the future, Yuemin and Yinhuan will come to recognize the door when they come back, isn't it good?"

   "Don't mention anything else. It's been more than ten years, and the child thinks she's dead. You see, this child doesn't love money or covet power. It's great to live in peace like this."

  The old couple was by the pool, feeding the fish and muttering in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, as he was talking, something suddenly fell into the pool at this time. With a "pop" sound, the two of them shivered in fright. After they became calm, it was clear that it was a wet little mouse-like thing swimming out of the water. When it came out, a bunch of fish chased its tail and bit its tail, so frightened that the little thing could not stop screaming and quickly climbed to the ground.

   "Rich, rich, come out and see, this, what is this?"

   As soon as Chen Ling and Wang Susu put the money away, they heard Liang Hongyu shouting outside, but when they walked into the yard, they saw that it was a little naive, wet and angry, grinning at the fish in the pool.

   "Don't be afraid of Aunt Hongyu, this is a little yellow skin."

   "Huangpizi? How did you get this thing in the house? Are chickens and ducks out of the way?"

   "It doesn't get in the way. I often come to the house to eat, and if I'm full, how can it harm chickens and ducks?"

Chen Ling smiled and picked up the little silly skin on the ground, and was about to throw it aside, but who knew that there were two small things on the grape rack, which fell down with a 'clack' and fell to the ground. Immediately, he got up, and when he ran to his feet, he was about to climb up the leg of his trousers, and was kicked away by Chen Ling.

   "I don't know where to drill every day. It's dirty and smelly, so hurry up and go to the side."

   "Why don't you care about the dog at home?"

   Qin Rong first glanced at the two big dogs lying under the grape trellis, and the three little fools came to make a fuss.

The old couple could see clearly just now that the two big dogs entered the door with blood all over their bodies. The two fish buyers also said that they killed two hunting dogs on the dam, so they thought the dogs were very bad. fierce.

   "It doesn't matter, I've already gotten used to it."

   While talking here, Wang Susu has already got into the kitchen and packed up the leftovers to feed the dog.

  The two dogs that were too lazy to move just now jumped out and ran to the kitchen door with their respective rice bowls in their mouths, wagging their tails frantically, stunned the old couple.

  Chen Ling also smiled and shook his head, these two guys never lag behind when it comes to eating, how majestic they are outside, how surprising they are when they come back to grab a meal.

That is to say, Heiwa's performance was okay today, but Chen Ling couldn't help but scold him as usual. He ate more than half of Xiao Jin's, but his ability was several blocks worse than Xiao Jin's. The pheasants and hares that were caught were only two of Chen Ling's. People eat, and the rest goes into the belly of this idiot, Heiwa.

Wang Susu was feeding the dog, but the three little idiots here were very familiar, chasing and chasing around the old couple's legs, and from time to time they straightened up and barked at the old couple. Know what's yelling.

   made the old couple laugh, and unknowingly put down their prejudice against Huangpizi and reached out to tease them.

When Wang Susu finished feeding the dog and came over to make tea, the four of them drank tea in the yard and talked for a while while nibbling on the seeds. After a while, the old couple heard that there were silkworms at home, and asked Wang Susu to accompany them to the backyard. After looking at the silkworms, he also carried a basket on his back, followed Wang Susu to the field to put cattle in the fields, and made some grass for the little rabbits.

   Watching the sun set in the west and blowing the cool mountain wind, the picturesque landscape and the fragrance of fields and flowers make them feel that this day is really satisfying and interesting.

   "It's still fun to live in a farm like this. We have to come several times in the future, so don't be annoyed, Susu."

   "What did Aunt Hongyu say, it's too late to welcome you."

Wang Susu led the cow and accompanied the two of them around the village, but when she was returning home, she suddenly heard someone on the dam shouting: "Come and see, the crabs have climbed the tree, there are a lot of crabs on the tree. what."

The man shouted at the top of his voice, and many people ran over to see it, and a large crowd gathered on the dam. Wang Susu also took the two to look at it, and saw a few wild bent willow trees growing on the edge of the reservoir. Crabs are densely covered, and there are at least hundreds of them according to a rough estimate.

   "Quick, go get a bucket at home, there are crabs to eat tonight."

  Someone who was close to home ran home in a hurry to get a bucket to catch crabs.

  Some people are happy and some people are sad.

  Many elderly people couldn't help shaking their heads and frowning when they saw this scene, and kept sighing: "It's going to rain heavily when the crabs climb the tree. The buds have just been planted, so don't rain too much."

At this time, corn seedlings have just grown in the field, the corn has not yet developed air roots, the ground is not firm, and the ability to resist waterlogging is very poor. Try to plant it again.

   "Oh, it's going to rain heavily, Susu, let's go back quickly, my uncle and I have to hurry home, or else it will rain soon and you won't be able to go back."

   When Liang Hongyu heard that it was going to rain heavily, she couldn't help but looked up at the sky, called Wang Susu and dragged Qin Rong to the village first.

   "It's okay, Aunt Hongyu, if it rains, I will stay for one night. There are many empty rooms in my backyard."

  Wang Susu said with a smile, took the ox and led the old couple to the village.

As a result, the three of them entered the village. Before they could go far, a strong wind suddenly picked up. The cool evening wind that was blowing on people's faces changed. stand up.
