My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 146

   Everyone walked down the mountain talking all the way, put the prey away, and prepared to stay together until dawn.

   The men are not sleepy.

   gathered in front of the fire and told the story of playing the Wolves in the past.

   Talk about how you fought wits and bravery with wolves at that time.

   One by one, the mood is very high.

  Chen Ling listened by the side and also found it interesting.

   It was just that he was dripping with blood and sweating all over his body, which made him very uncomfortable. After listening to it for a while, he didn't stay any longer and took the dog home to wash and sleep.

  After dawn, it was only after nine o'clock that the fog completely dissipated.

  Chen Ling took his wife and sister-in-law out to the brigade to watch the wolves in the village.

   At this time, the yard of the brigade was full of people.

  On weekdays, except in front of Cui Laizi’s gate, there are many people gathered here.

Outside the    brigade, there was a flat open space paved with gravel.

  The villagers who live nearby like to catch a meal here, or make needles and needles with the soles of their shoes. They often talk long and short here, and it is quite lively.

   Today's wolves are also here.

   There were also poultry and livestock that were bitten to death in the villagers’ homes, which were also placed in the open space.

   At this time, the marks made by each family came in handy.

  The mother-in-law picked out their own, and then stood aside, not in a hurry to leave.

   chatting about the leisurely days, talking about the events of last night, and waiting to see the wolf.

   There are also people who simply bring their dolls over to see what the wolf looks like.

  Many little babies have never seen a wolf.

   ran around the dead wolves, shouting, "Eat wolf meat, eat wolf meat."

   When Chen Ling brought his wife and sister-in-law there.

  Wang Lishan was squatting on a stone mill that was missing half of it, talking to people vigorously.

"Don't you know that the dog of the rich family is called a fierce one. Twenty or thirty big wolves are standing opposite to each other. They are not afraid at all. Just bite, my dear, that bite, the wolf's neck will be bitten, and it will droop into soft noodles, and the dead can't die any longer."

   "After biting one, biting the next, it's like comparing the wolf to a chicken. When the wolf who took the lead saw it, his right eyelid jumped, and he wanted to run up the mountain after his buttocks fell."

   "The dog of the rich family will take the lead in chasing it, as fast as the wind."

   "We can't watch at this time. Don't forget that we can bring shotguns, and we're not vegetarians. We thought that we had entered our village and harmed the animals in my village, but still wanted to run away? There is no door!"

   "Just chase after the dog's ass, hold the gun and shoot, one shot, one shot, and the wolves are beaten and barked. It's very enjoyable."

   "What? Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? You're not afraid of chasing up the mountain."

   "I had an idea at that time, and I killed it all day and night, skinned it and killed its flesh, and took it to the county town for white noodles."

   "Hey, when you come back, bake a flatbread and eat it. Eat it for three days to relieve your cravings."

  Wang Lishan became more and more interested, and gestured with both hands.

The men and women around    were happy to hear it.

   When they saw Chen Ling's family approaching, they all stopped talking and greeted them enthusiastically.

   Then he kept praising the two dogs.

   Heiwa and Xiaojin listened, and these two guys held their heads high, and they walked with a majestic and high-spirited feeling.

  The local dogs in the village also barked with excitement.

   Even Wang Laishun said that thanks to these two dogs last night, leading the village dog was a big help.

  If it's just that foggy, let alone beating wolves, I don't know where to chase, and I can't see which way the wolf is going.

   Don't even think about taking these chickens, ducks and sheep back from the wolf's mouth.

   On the other hand, there is no dog gnawing at the back.

How can people catch up with wolves? The previous Wolves team was on horseback.

   "Rich and noble, will you go up and down the mountain after dividing the wolf?"

   "Go as soon as you go. Anyway, I'm done with my work in the field, so I don't have anything to do."

   "Then do you have a clip at home? I won't bring you one."

   "Yes, do you still have the clips? There are several at home."

  The methods of fighting wolves are mainly shooting and wolf clips.

   Although the wolf was beaten hard this time, he had to guard against it.

  People who live in the deep mountains can find wolf dens, and there are those who go to block wolf dens. If they are anxious, they will kill all wolves.

   But be careful not to let the wolf smell the popularity when you go.

  The same is true for the lower wolf clip. It can’t be exposed to people. The rust smell of the wolf clip can’t be smelled by the wolf. It is usually covered with the smell of cow dung and donkey dung. Otherwise, the wolf’s cleverness will not be fooled.

   As long as you smell it, you will be avoided far away.

   These are all previous experiences with Wolves.

   Ordinary people, who have never dealt with wolves, how would they know?

  Like a young man in the county, riding a motorcycle to stay in ambush in a village where wolves often appear, often missing.

   They always called the wolf too cunning afterwards.

   In fact, they are too stupid and inexperienced. They don't pay attention to the limelight when they are in ambush. The wind blows, and the human flavor drifts into the wolf's nose along the wind. How can the wolf be fooled?

   "It's divided into wolves, all line up."

  Wang Laishun shouted, and the scene became more lively.

   Dividing wolves is mainly for those who went to fight wolves last night.

  Most, a few people form a gang and share a wolf.

   is to sell or eat, it is optional.

   Like Chen Ling, he killed two wolves by himself, and the family dog ​​also killed a few.

   In the end, there were six wolves who were divided.

   This is still the result of Chen Ling's unwillingness to ask for more and Wang Laishun's lack of points.

   This thing looks at him, it just needs a skin, and there is nothing to eat meat.

  And after the wolf was defeated, the day of hunting in the mountains was getting closer and closer.

  There are many good things in the mountains.

  The remaining wolves will be distributed to the villagers.

  …It was too lively when the wolves were divided.

  This is the first time we have hit so many wolves in the village, and everyone is very happy.

   There was a delicious mouth, and Wang Lixian was asked to help peel and kill the meat on the spot.

  Wang Lixian is recognized as a good style.

   With the help of a few people, the wolf skin and flesh are separated by three strokes, five divisions, two, open the abdomen, dig out the internal organs, wash the stomach and rinse the intestines, and clean the bones.

   The whole wolf skin was attached to the head and tail, intact, and the skin did not even pierce a hole.

   Everyone applauded when they saw it.

Bright red wolf meat, the raised muscles are lumpy, and the outside is covered with a thin layer of milky white fascia. The fascia is cut into strips. The shredded meat is thinner than beef, brighter than dog meat, not as fatty as pork, and not as heavy as mutton. Fishy mutton.

   Just by looking at this wolf meat, the glutton in your stomach will be hooked and your mouth will drool.

   But how good does wolf meat taste?

   Actually not.

  It is used for roasting and eating, the meat is hard and the taste is great.

  I cook it, the meat is a little softer, but the taste is much more stinky than dog meat, and it is still hard to chew.

  It's delicious and unpalatable, and someone can't stand it.

  I have eaten wolf meat in my old age and said I like it very much.

  Chen Ling didn't understand either.

  If you want to eat it at home, you should put more seasoning and marinate for a longer time. The taste of stewing is probably acceptable.

   "Really, do you want to eat wolf meat?"

"I do not want to eat."

   "Okay, your sister doesn't eat it either, then let's peel the skin and keep the meat for Heiwa Xiaojin."

  The family was talking and stayed outside the brigade until after noon, almost one o'clock.

   was waiting for Wang Lixian to completely peel off the wolf skins of the six wolves.

Before    went home, Chen Ling drove the ox cart over and pulled the wolf meat back.

   There were also other villagers who had skinned the remaining internal organs, and they all took them with them.

  The heart, lungs and intestines of wolves are not eaten, so they can be fed to dogs.

  After returning home, the young couple did not rush to make lunch.

  I hang the wolf skins in the yard to dry.

   To dry the wolf skin, first check whether the meat on the wolf skin is clean, otherwise it will be damaged.

  When it is clean and dry, hang the wolf fur and hang it up, lay the wolf fur outwards, with the tips down and the roots up, on the clothesline.

   Gently tap from top to bottom with a thin stick to eject dust and dirt from the fur.

   That’s it, just do it a few times.

the next day.

   Liang Yuemin and his son came to the house and were surprised when they saw the wolf skin hanging in the yard. When they asked Chen Ling, they found out that there was a wolf beating the night before.

   After listening to the process, the two stomped their feet in the yard anxiously, regretting that they didn't catch up with such a 'event'.

   These days, Liang Yuemin often brings his father here.

   Find Chen Ling to play chess and fish.

   Or a few raccoons in his house.

   There was fog yesterday morning, and I regret it now.

   I heard that Chen Ling went to the mountain to get off the wolf trap yesterday afternoon.

   He shouted that he would come over tomorrow and bring some clips and put them on the mountain.

  Chen Ling doesn't care about them either.

   took the fishing rod and bucket, and told them to go fishing in the reservoir.

   However, Chen Ling was not very lucky today.

   After fishing for more than an hour, it was almost 10:30 in the morning, and I didn't catch a single fish.

   Liang Yuemin and Qin Rongxian were almost full.

   made him depressed.

   If he couldn't catch any more, he took out his slingshot and went to catch waterfowl.

   "Comrade Chen Fugui, your newspaper has arrived."

   The postman arrived at the entrance of the village.

   came over to deliver newspapers several times, and also knew him.

   Seeing that he was here, he was not going to send it home. He took out a stack of newspapers from his bulging mail bag and walked over.

After the    was delivered to Chen Ling's hands, he didn't rush to leave, and stood beside them with a smile and watched the fishing.

   "What newspaper did the rich and noble order, show me a piece of it."

  Qin Rongxian leaned over and glanced here, and said to Chen Ling.

   Liang Yuemin was not reluctant to hear the words, "I, I want to see it too, give me one too."

   So the three of them were like this, watching the newspaper and catching fish, and by the way, they talked to the postman without saying a word.

   Facing the dry autumn wind, it is very comfortable.

  …

   The autumn sun hangs high, and there are no clouds in the sky.

   When Chen Ling and the others were fishing, several vehicles slowly approached from the reservoir dam and drove into the village.

   This was interviewed by the city TV station.

  In addition to the two interview cars, the leaders of the county also followed, and when they got to the village, they got out of the cars, and they all held their positions, looking quite bluffing.

An interview like    is quite simple, and can be done in two or three hours.

   It was rare for the village to be lively again. Every household gathered in a crowd to talk about things, which reporter was good-looking, which leader was young, and there were discussions.

   However, most people are still concerned about the relief fund, and they just hope that it will be paid out early, and they feel at ease.

   Leaders and reporters don't care about this, even if they hear it, they won't care.

   They surrounded Chen Ling and the others.

   The leaders of the county seem to know Qin Rongxian, and they have been arguing between the inside and the outside.

The reporters from the    city TV station were much simpler.

   Looking at the appearance and temperament of Chen Ling and the three, they thought they were here to fish in the reservoir, but the conversation was completely off-topic, and they asked if they could fish for a while.

   As a result, I didn't catch any fish.

   But in the pond on the other side of the dam, I caught an old turtle.

   However, although this old turtle is not too big, its shape is a bit strange.

   These young reporters are just for fun, fishing is better than fish, and the old turtle can't take them away, so they want to leave it to Chen Ling.

  Chen Ling glanced at it, and felt that it was too sloppy. If he didn't have a good look, he wouldn't want it.

   was finally caught by the little dolls who came to join in the fun.

  Chen Ling didn't catch any fish for most of the day, and didn't catch anything.

   Seeing that it was noon, they were about to greet Qin Rongxian and his son to go back. Suddenly, a large splash of water splashed in the water, and the movement was as if someone had stabbed a fierce boy.

   "There are big fish!"

   "Look at the wealth, there are big fish in this piece of water!"

   "Forget it, let it be big fish and small fish, sitting for a long time, hungry, I will not fish."

  Chen Ling waved his hand, he was unlucky today, and he didn't bite the hook even if there was a fish.

  The big fish is the big fish.

   Too lazy to fish.

   On the contrary, those reporters just gathered around to take pictures and captured the picture.

   whispered to discuss when there is no news, take it out to do a water monster or something.

  Chen Ling grinned.

   I think the reporters at this time are really simple.

   Later generations fabricated water monsters, in addition to wanting to talk about some mysterious things to increase the ratings, there are also local promotions for tourism, and some gimmicks were created to attract people to play.

   For this matter, he didn't take it to heart at first, but when he went back, when he was talking to Chen Jiang and his uncle Kuwait, he also said that recently there was a splash in the reservoir that he didn't know what to do.

   Don't be because the flood water two months ago washed over something.

   Qin Rongxian and his son liked to hear such weird things, so they asked if they could see what they were.

  Old tired and crooked, just talked to them.

   "Tiwai, what are you talking about with the rich here?"

   "Secretary, I didn't say anything, I just mentioned something in the reservoir, didn't I tell you a few days ago?"

"Ah? That's it, there's nothing to say about it. When it rained, my second son and I came over to clean up the eagle boat, and we saw that there was an elder... I hit a flashlight and saw a shadow descending under the water. Swimming back and forth, the water vortex stirred up is bigger than the grinding disc."

  Wang Laishun gestured, shook his head and said, "Whatever it is, there are too many strange things in the water, let's stay away from it and don't provoke it."

   "Yes, but this thing is very weird. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I can still hear the splashing water. The sound is loud and it can travel far. It must be caused by this thing."

  Old Greasy grinned crookedly, picked the mole on the corner of his forehead, and shouted.

   "That's it, then I'll go back and shout on the horn to let the village kids pay attention, and stay away from the reservoir if there's nothing else."

   "Well, it's alright to call and let me know, what are you doing here?"

   "Go and call the leaders and reporters for dinner, lunch is ready."
