My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 151

  Two days before entering the mountain, Chen Ling picked the cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, beans and other vegetables grown around the hut in the cave and piled them in the hut. The plants were planed up to the roots, and even the wire racks were removed. Anyway, these vegetables are only eaten by their own people, and they are not going to sell them for money. In the future, they can eat and plant them immediately. When they want to eat them, they can come in and plant some at any time.

  Otherwise, the hut will be full of these things in the front and back, and the aesthetics is second, the key is that it takes up too much space. There are many 'babies' in the mountains, so make room for them.

   In this area like this afternoon, few people come. There are many common medicinal materials and wild fruits, and beautiful wild flowers are everywhere.

   Chen Ling is now aiming at a few orchids. At first glance, it does not give people a very amazing feeling, but it is very fragrant, and it grows on the rocks beside the stream. The leaves are thick, the petals are round and plump, showing a finely spotted light red, and there is a golden outer edge above the edge of the petals.

After    approached, the fragrance was more intense, with a sweet and fragrant fragrance in the strong fragrance.

Carefully pulled out a tree and put it into the cave. Chen Ling was about to change a place, and in a blink of an eye, he found a few wild jujube trees. too.

It is a kind of wild jujube tree in his childhood memory. The locals call it phoenix eye. The fruit is very small, but the taste is quite good. After a year, only five or six jujubes grow, and they are often wiped out by birds.

  Even if they were diligent in their hearts when they were young, they seldom could eat it in their mouths.

  The adults also like to eat it. Of course, some people have tried to grow it, but the taste is far worse.

   Gradually, this kind of hyacinth wild jujube is no longer seen outside, and only grows in the remote mountains.

  The reason why wild fruit is called wild fruit is that it cannot withstand large-scale cultivation. Either the fruit is small, or the fruit is difficult, and there are many wild fruits that taste sour and cannot be eaten. However, Chen Ling was not afraid of these. Since he encountered it, he put it into the cave.

   "Push!"

   "Wang Wang Wang..."

   Heiwa sneezed suddenly, shook her head vigorously, and let out a frantic cry.

  The sun was setting, and there were swarms of mosquitoes by the water, and both dogs couldn't be bothered.

  Xiaojin also hummed irritably.

  The two of them are not afraid to encounter wolves, but they have nothing to do with these mosquitoes.

  Chen Ling had no choice, waved his sleeves to help drive him away, and said, "Let's go, dig another small tree, and we'll go back."

   Plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, I have to get it all together.

However, the tree to be dug was not one of these, it was a sapling of a wild cherry. It was not far away. Chen Ling quickly scraped it and put it in the cave. There were a few big trees next to it. The clusters were covered with small red cherries, which were really pleasing to the eyes. Chen Ling brushed off a few strings, wiped off the hair on them, and gave some to two dogs, one person and two dogs, eating while walking.

  cherries, and wild grapes that were transplanted before.

   He plans to go out of the mountain and make some fruit wine, and the wild fruit trees will be cultivated in the cave for a while.

   When the time comes, what kind of cherries, wild grapes, sheep grandma, etc., will be classified into different categories, and each will be brewed in a large vat, and when I accompany my daughter-in-law back to her parents' house, I will bring some for my father-in-law.

   taste the taste of wine, and let the old man nourish his body and bones.

   Walking towards the place where he settled down, Chen Ling was also looking for a lot of dead branches by the way. I don't know how many years this place has not been patronized. The dead branches and leaves are piled up thickly, and you can easily pick up a bunch of them. All of them are broken into a length of about one meter, and then some weeds are pulled out, and they are simply twisted and twisted a few times.

  The wild grasses in the mountains are very lush, and they are very tough.

   Walking back, away from the stream, the mosquitoes gradually decreased.

  The two dogs also became active, and they followed suit, helping Chen Ling to pick up firewood.

   But they are childish and greedy.

   Specially pick the big ones.

  Heiwa found a broken pine branch on the ground, about the thickness of a palm, more than one meter long, and was immediately excited, grabbed it and ran forward.

   As a result, it walked sideways like this, and before taking a few steps, it tripped over a tree in the woods and was so anxious that it screamed.

   is still smarter than Xiaojin.

   helped it hold one end, the two guys just like this, biting each side, one after the other, lifted up and ran forward.

   played with two dogs.

  Chen Ling looked interesting and followed behind, cheering for them.

   Sure enough, the two dogs ran more happily.

   One person and two dogs, when they returned to the place where they settled down, they were even more dumbfounded by the crowd.

  YouQi's group of young people who don't go to Chen Ling's house very often, saw this scene with stunned and amazed eyes.

   Not only them, but even Chen Dazhi couldn't help standing up.

   "Hahaha, good guy, rich and precious, your dog is so capable, he can fight wolves, drive mountains, and pick up firewood..."

   "It will take another two years, and if you try harder, you might even go to the sky."

  Chen Ling put down the two bundles of firewood and said with a smile: "It's easy to think about the sky, but you have to wait for them to grow wings."

   "Why can't you grow wings and go to the sky? Is there a rocket tied to your butt?"

   Everyone burst into laughter, and then looked around the two dogs.

   said one by one: These two dogs from the rich family don’t know how to raise them, they can do everything, and they are too capable.

   Heiwa and Xiaojin don't have the heart to listen to other people's compliments now, they just lie at Chen Ling's feet, turn their stomachs, and roll on the ground, wanting Chen Ling to tickle them.

   The two guys were bitten badly by mosquitoes just now, and there were several large bags on their bodies, which were itchy and painful.

  …It’s a pity it got dark too fast.

   The last bit of twilight was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire forest instantly became dark, as if the sky had covered a curtain, there was no light, and it was so dark that I could not reach my fingers.

  Chen Ling scratched the two dogs a few times, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

   got up and said, "Alright, alright, don't make a fuss, I'll give you some medicine when the meal is ready."

   Then Yuqiang and a few flashlights went to make a fire.

  The fire started to burn, and an open space had been cleared around. Chen Ling packed up two wild rabbits, and Chen Dazhi also took out the few mountain mice caught by the local dogs at noon and played with them.

   As for the grass deer and muntjac, they would not eat them.

   Big guys come into the mountains to make a living.

   It all depends on the big prey they hit and sell them on the set.

  The so-called: seek their skin and flesh instead of enjoying themselves, in exchange for food and clothing at home.

exactly.

  …The deep mountains at night are terrifyingly dark.

  The long howl of the wild wolf, accompanied by a bleak bird call, became more and more empty and lonely, making one's heart tremble.

   A bonfire is lit in the woods here.

   There are two bonfires.

  Chen Ling was on this side, put on a rabbit, put it on the fire, turned it back and forth, and roasted it.

  The fire was burning very vigorously, and a drop of rabbit oil fell into the fire, making a sizzling sound, and the rabbit meat was also dyed a light golden yellow.

  The fragrance gradually wafts out.

   made the hungry people swallow their saliva, and they wanted to eat it before it was cooked.

   On the other side, Chen Dazhi is roasting mice.

  Three in a string.

   Wearing three strings, with a cigarette in his mouth, he roasted happily.

   It took more than half an hour, the rabbit and the mountain mouse were all baked.

  Wang Lixian took out a small bottle of wine and took two sips of fragrant rabbit meat. The temperature in the mountains was low at night, so after a few sips of wine, I felt comfortable.

  After the rabbit meat was divided, everyone also tasted the roasted mountain mouse.

   It’s mainly because the young ones have never eaten it before and try it fresh.

  The taste of mountain rat meat is not bad. It is crisp and slightly sweet, thin and delicious. After being roasted with fire, the outside is coke and the inside is tender.

  Chen Ling just tasted two bites, tried the taste, and stopped eating.

   Bamboo rat can be accepted, and can eat happily, the rat is fine.

Others are a little addicted to eating, like Chen Yubin, this little man's eyes light up after a bite, and the mouse's paws and tails have been eaten clean. Seeing that others are full, he can't stop stuffing mouse meat into his mouth. Crunchy and crunchy with bones.

   Heiwa and Xiaojin both widened their eyes and stared at him for a while, as if wondering, is this mouse meat really that delicious?

  Chen Ling ate and drank enough to boil hot water for everyone.

   turned around and went to ‘make the bed’ for himself.

  Limited conditions, pile up thick with dead leaves, so soft that you can sleep.

  The nearby withered leaves are all over the ground, and you can just pick it up and pull it in a pile. When you lay it on it, you can use it as a mat for the night.

  They all wear coats when they go into the mountains, and the fire doesn't go out at night, so they don't feel cold.

   After the others were full, they also came over to hold the dead leaves in piles.

   Surrounded by the fire not far, each find his own place.

   "Uncle Fugui, what are you doing?"

   Seeing that Chen Ling got up again and went to the edge of the clearing around, and bent over to sprinkle something, Chen Yuqiang came over and asked.

   "Snake repellent."

Chen Ling carried the blue cloth bag and gave him some: "Go to the other side and sprinkle it on the other side. Wild things will not come over if there is a fire burning at night. Then sprinkle these repellents, not only to repel snakes, but also other poisonous insects and ants. I won't get close, everyone can sleep peacefully."

   "Good stuff."

   "I'm going to sprinkle it now."

   After spreading the medicine, Chen Ling added some wormwood and other herbs to the bonfire. Suddenly, a strong medicinal smell spread around and gradually spread out. At this moment, not even a single mosquito was gone. I could still hear the tiny buzzing of mosquitoes before, but now my ears are clean.

   "Fugui, you are really well prepared. We haven't taken anything out yet, so you're done."

  Chen Ze walked up to him and jokingly picked his teeth with a stick.

   "That's not right, Uncle Fugui is really capable now."

   "Uncle Fugui, take a break, I'll pour you some water."

  The young people laughed and laughed for a while.

   "Stay with your rich uncles. If we go into the mountains this time, we can hit more things, but we all rely on him."

  Wang Lixian usually doesn't like to talk much, so he also laughed along at this time.

   He can find the prey, there is no doubt about that, but it is hard to say whether he can capture it smoothly. I haven't been in the mountains for many years, and I'm a little unfamiliar. It's a lot of peace of mind to have two spiritual dogs to help.

  …The night passed smoothly, it was dark early in the mountains, and it was bright early.

   In the early morning, when the others were still sleeping, Chen Ling opened his eyes.

   Prepare to put a few things a little far away into the cave.

  Leave the place where you settled down.

  With Heiwa, walking slowly among the mountains and forests, listening to the crisp bird calls, I felt very peaceful in my heart. The cool air, mixed with the morning dew and the rotten smell of fallen leaves, made people feel more comfortable and natural.

   A huge squirrel stood on the branch, chirped a few times, threw the nuts at Chen Ling's feet, grinned at him, and seemed to protest that he had entered his territory.

  Wow! Wang Wang! Not to be outdone, Heiwa barked at the little guy on the tree, telling it that she was not to be messed with.

  Chen Ling stopped Heiwa and told him not to waste his energy. There is no need to waste his energy in dealing with such a small thing that is not threatening. There is a wild bamboo forest in front. Because the sunlight is blocked by the surrounding vines, the bamboos look very short, and some of them are dead and messy.

  The little squirrel did not give up, and followed Chen Ling, jumping to the trees one after another, declaring to him that this was also his own thing, don't move. Maybe it was because he jumped too excitedly, stepped on a dead branch, and fell under Chen Ling's feet with a snap.

  Chen Ling laughed when he saw it, and gently kicked the little squirrel lying on the ground pretending to be dizzy, wanting to see how it was doing. And Heiwa was dissatisfied with this little thing for a long time, and he pounced on it and bit it, wanting this annoying little thing to know how powerful he is.

  Chen Ling hurriedly stopped, this little guy was interesting, he seemed to sense Heiwa's breath, he closed his eyes tightly and pretended to be dead, but his big gray-brown tail still swayed gently.

   "Huh? Don't move, what's this smell!"

  Chen Ling took a sniff, and suddenly smelled a peculiar smell, irritating his nostrils.
