My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 202 Sticky Bird Net

   It was not long after noon.

   After lunch, Chen Ling drove back with a tractor full of building materials.

  Unexpectedly, the boundary of Wangbacheng came out. When passing through the mountain pass section of Kuliu County, a large group of people blocked the road.

   This is for the villagers, about twenty people, men, women and children, all of them waving their shovels and rakes, and surrounded the tractor, yelling at Chen Ling for a while, forcing him to stop.

  This part of the road is difficult to walk, and the tractor can't get up quickly.

   Moreover, at this time, the road ahead was blocked by big rocks and tree trunks, and Chen Ling couldn't even step on the accelerator to rush over.

   "Damn, really bad luck."

  Chen Ling cursed secretly and had to stop the tractor.

   "Which county are you from? I don't know the road that has just been built here. Don't you allow cars to pass? Hurry up and get down, we'll run over our road..."

   A thin old man scolded, and the shovel was about to stab Chen Ling in the face.

   "The road is broken? Where is this broken? You haven't built a road here."

  Chen Ling frowned, pretending not to know.

   In fact, he said this, and a hand has quietly reached the toolbox under the seat.

   "I said that if you are crushed, you will be crushed. If you want to ruin your mother, hurry down and lose money."

   "If you don't lose money, don't think about it today."

   The two young men behind the old man stared at them and cursed fiercely.

   Several wives and half-eldest sons also shouted viciously, "Come down quickly, or I won't come down and kill you."

   There were two other boys who were about sixteen or seventeen years old. They were already stepping on the tractor's connecting bar and reaching out to pull Chen Ling's bag.

   However, just as these two boys touched the bag on the back of Chen Ling's seat, one of the boys suddenly changed his face and shouted, "Master, beat him, he's going to dig something out."

   As soon as he shouted these words, before the others could react, Chen Ling turned around and swung the two thieves down with an arm.

   And his other hand had already pulled out a shotgun from under the toolbox. Besides, it was a shot at the nearest old man.

   The old man screamed and fell to the ground.

   "The Marlegobi man is still carrying a gun. If you have a gun, you will still be killed. You can't leave today."

   All of a sudden, this group of bandit-like guys has been angered. I don't know which villagers in the lower county. Men, women and children are all savage and fierce, with red eyes and all kinds of farm implements to greet Chen Ling.

   is smart, and when he comes up, he wants to knock out the gun in his hand.

  Chen Ling didn't dodge when he saw this, jumped straight off the tractor, and threw himself into the pile of wives and boys on the left.

   These wives and half-eldest boys were out of strength, so he shielded his head and threw himself at them, kicking them all over the floor with just a few kicks.

   Kicked the wives to a whimper.

  Nurtured by the cave all day long, Chen Ling's strength is very strong, and his skin is rough and fleshy, and he can withstand a few beatings.

   Especially now that he is in danger, his whole body starts to heat up, like a machine that is gradually running, and the response of the body is faster than that of the brain.

   Wait for the group of guys in front and on the right to rush over to hit him.

   He didn't panic. He stepped on the wheel of the tractor, and in two or three steps, he stepped onto the building materials piled high in the bucket.

   "It's easy to be bullied by being an Lao Tzu if you're the one who cares about your ancestors."

  Chen Ling cursed in anger.

   But no matter how he is alone, he can't stand up to more than 20 people.

   And there are still people holding machetes, and some picking up rocks and throwing him.

   So we have to rely on guns.

  This gun is the single-barreled shotgun that Heiwa had brought back. It was fired in five bursts. I don’t know where Chen Erzhu got the good shotgun.

   After Chen Erzhu was taken away, he never took it out and kept it in the cave for backup.

   It's easy to get some bullets these days, so there are plenty of bullets.

   So at this time, he held up a shotgun and shot at these bandit Roadhogs.

   His marksmanship is relatively accurate, so he greeted them on their lap.

   Every time five bullets are fired, he crouches down to avoid the flying rocks of various sizes and refills the bullets.

After the    shotgun was fired three or four times, these people were frightened.

   Chen Ling was not injured, but they collapsed a piece, and they basically injured their legs.

  This shows that people don't want their lives.

  Otherwise, the gunner will greet them on their heads, and they will not be able to escape.

   For a while, his face was ugly.

   "Mother is next door, she's a tough guy, let's go."

   "You can leave if you want, and each of them will pay me 200 yuan. Otherwise, I can maim you even if you don't kill you."

  Chen Ling stood on the high tractor body, holding the gun and continuing to aim down.

   "If you want money or not, you want to die. If you have the ability, you will kill us all."

   A man who was shot in the leg and lying on the ground roared.

   is full of cold sweats and is still talking ruthlessly, really poor.

   "You can't afford to pay 200 per person, we will give you a maximum of 20 per person."

   An old man bargained at this time.

   "Twenty? Where are you sending the beggars? It's alright. I'm too lazy to argue with you. You must have robbed me of more than one person. If you don't have any money here, it's fine if you don't pay it. I'll find it myself."

  Chen Ling jumped off the car body, raised his gun and aimed at a half-sized boy, posing for a fight.

   "Don't, we didn't bring that much, so we charged one thousand eighteen at night, can you see?"

  The old man's clothes have softened. No matter how vicious and arrogant he is, he still cares about future generations.

   "One thousand eight is one thousand eight..."

   "Put the money down and get out."

   When these people put down the money and left with the wounded, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

   His way of thinking is greatly influenced by parallel time and space, and he does not want to hurt people's lives from the bottom of his heart.

   But I don’t want to shrink my head and be a coward to be slaughtered.

   So at most this is the only way to do it.

   touched the body that was hit by the stone and the place where the arm was hit by the shovel. Although it didn't hurt much, Chen Ling was still a little depressed.

   "Damn it, no wonder the car bandit Roadhog deserves to be beaten to death, like a bunch of vicious dogs."

   If you meet such a person in a few years, it will be fine even if you really kill them, and some places will give you rewards.

   It's because these people have no bottom line, and what they do is going too far.

  …

   I don’t know if it’s a nearby village to be a road hog, or I know that Chen Ling is not easy to mess with.

   In the next few days, Chen Ling made four or five trips back and forth, all of which were very smooth, and all the required building materials were shipped.

   Stone, brick, cement, glass, etc.

   There are not many places for these to be used, and it is enough to pull them back and forth seven or eight times.

   And every time he transports it, Dongtian will put two cars on it, and one trip will take three trips. These things are more than enough.

   The main thing you need is wood and bamboo.

   These caves exist, and as early as when he was building a house at home, he would get into the cave every day to prepare.

   Plus the rest of the two-pillar greenhouse, it must be enough.

   So Chen Ling spent the rest of the day using a tractor to tinker with wood and bamboo.

   There are quite a few lumber mills in the east of the county.

   This one walks four or five times a day, and others only think that he was brought back from the county seat.

  After two consecutive days of transportation, the wood and bamboo were piled up in the open space on the west side of the orchard.

   In fact, the tractors are not loaded too much each time, that is, when no one is paying attention, Chen Ling will transport them from the cave to the outside world in large numbers, so these two days are not in a hurry, and they work while playing.

During the period of   , I encountered a fair in the county town, and I also bought three large-sized sticky bird nets.

   Since the ground cover failed to cover the wild pigeons, only a few mountain birds were covered.

  Chen Ling decided to change the sticky bird net to try.

   Now the building materials are all piled up here in the orchard, he is here to watch.

   Although the things are heavy, and stealing is not much, but he is afraid that someone will make trouble, set fires, etc., and he has been busy these days in vain.

   I can’t just watch here, it’s too boring, so I bought a sticky bird net to play with.

   These three sticky bird nets, Chen Ling, chose the largest model available. They stretched nearly 20 meters. The bird nets are very light and thin, and the mesh is small, which is still very good.

  …

   The light snow has passed for a few days, and the winter solstice is getting closer and closer. It is very cold to spend the night on the mountain at this time.

  So after Chen Ling built a simple grass hut at the foot of the mountain, he moved in a stove to boil water for warmth.

   These days, he sleeps here at night, with two dogs following him.

   Maybe knowing that these things need to be watched, let them both go home during the day, but they are not very willing to return.

   During the day, the local dogs in the village will also run over.

  The two of them often lead a large group of dogs to have fun in the nearby fields.

   When others saw it, they didn’t dare to approach.

  This morning, the sticky bird nets were just bought, and he put each net on two long bamboo poles, just like a curtain, the buttons were put together first, and then stretched out.

After the    is done, he is ready to find a place to support it with the bamboo pole.

   As soon as he reached the edge of the ground, Wang Jusheng and Wang Lixian came over and called him on the dirt road outside the orchard.

   Recently, they have also come to visit frequently. A few days ago, Wang Lixian knew that he was going to Wangbacheng, and even wanted to follow Chen Ling to help him **** the car.

   Maybe he also knew that troubles could easily happen on the road.

   But Chen Ling didn't let him go.

   Today is Wang Jusheng resting. He doesn't have to go to work in the village.

   When I saw Chen Ling sticking to the bird net, I came to help.

   "The old tomb has been moved away, and there is nothing to the south. There is such a large open space, wouldn't it be enough to support the net there?"

   Wang Lixian said.

  Chen Ling hesitated: "There is no tree blocking it, and people are so close, would the wild pigeons dare to fall to the ground?"

Wang Lixian smiled and said, "Hey, you can try to sprinkle some grain on the ground first. We used to catch wild pigeons with a sieve in the snow, sweep a clean land in the snow, sprinkle some corn grits, and deduct one by one. Exactly, I really haven’t used this bird net, and you are still the senior.”

   "Brother Xian, you are right, he still spends dozens of dollars to buy a fishing rod, but he is not advanced."

   Wang Jusheng said vaguely.

   He took the two leftover roasted sweet potatoes that Chen Ling had eaten and stuffed them into his mouth.

  Chen Ling didn't care about their teasing, just looked at Wang Jusheng and said, "Brother Jusheng, isn't this sweet potato cold? It's been left overnight, you should put it on the stove to warm it up."

  Wang Jusheng smiled and said, "It's okay, it's been getting hot these two days, and I can't pull the **** out. I'll eat something cold to remind me."

   "Good guy, you..."

  Chen Ling frowned.

  Wang Lixian couldn't help laughing.

   "Fugui, you start work at the beginning of next month. You can only work for a month. It's the twelfth lunar month, and it snows a lot, so what else can you do?"

   "I can't, I just rest in the twelfth lunar month. It's the end of the year, how can I still do it."

   "Oh, that's just right, Sini'er gets married in the twelfth lunar month, and then you and Jusheng will come over to be lively and lively."

   "Okay, let's talk about a certain day. I have a brother who gets married in the twelfth lunar month. Don't bump into each other."

   "The seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, why didn't you hit it?"

   "On the seventh day, that's fine."

  Chen Ling shook his head, Han Chuang got married on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

  The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is a small year, and it is a very auspicious day to get married on this day.

   Of course, the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, which Wang Li dedicated to her family, was also a good day.

  In the past, when the sun was in the early years of the year, the Xie family came to your door.

   There are more people who get married on this day.

   "That's fine, Jusheng, are you all right on the seventh day of the first day?"

"It's okay, I've been fine all this time, and we don't have many rich and famous people. On the day he accompanied his daughter-in-law back from her parents' house, he had lunch in the village, and four or five acquaintances talked to him. I can't Compared with him, I was very free in the twelfth lunar month..."

  Wang Jusheng stuffed the last sweet potato tip into his mouth, clapped his hands, and was about to ask Wang Lixian's family where Sini'er was from.

  The two dogs barked and ran out.

   He tiptoed to look at it and smiled at Chen Ling: "It's Susu who came to bring you food."

   "You guy, you've been very comfortable recently, and you don't even cook."

  Chen Ling knew that he was joking on purpose and ignored him, so he greeted his daughter-in-law.

   "Brother Xian and Brother Jusheng are here. I fried some walnut cakes. Let's sit down and eat some."

  Wang Susu came over with a basket.

   There are steamed eggs, steamed buns, pickles, and walnut cakes with pecans in the basket.

   "No, no, we just came here after breakfast, we just came to find the rich and noble to play for a while."

   The two quickly waved their hands.

   then squatted beside him and played with the dog without disturbing the young couple.

   "Brother Xian, have you run out of cotton at your house?"

   After Chen Ling finished breakfast, Wang Susu asked.

   "Not yet, I guess I have to play for a long time today."

  Wang Lixian's family is going to prepare new cotton for the fourth daughter this year. When they marry next year, they will make several new quilts, all of which are for dowry.

   Plus there are old quilts from his family, so it took more than two days to finish it.

   A large wooden bow can play cotton, and a skilled hand can at most ten jins of cotton a day, and an ordinary cotton-playing craftsman will only have about five or six jins, which is not too slow.

  The two cotton-playing craftsmen from the pigeon camp have been playing cotton in Chenwangzhuang for almost half a month, and they have only played half of the village.

   "Okay then, we have to wait a few more days."

Wang Susu is not in a hurry. She just has nothing to do at home these days. She tore up the hard old cotton batts in advance and tore them into pieces. Can be done in a morning.

   It took almost half a month to get to Wang Lixian's side, and it would probably take a few more days to get to them.

   Then he and Chen Ling fed the dog.

  There are not only stoves, but also kettles and pots, but this pot is for dogs to cook.

  They have been protecting their homes since they were young, and they are willing to watch here, but they can't be cold and starved.

  Corn gooey, cabbage leaves, **** seedlings, mixed with lard, a little salt flower, boiled in a large pot, steaming hot.

   After it cools down a bit, pour it into the two rice bowls, add two raw eggs into each bowl, and this is the breakfast for two dogs.

   Watching the two dogs gobble their meals.

Wang Lixian suddenly sighed: "In the final analysis, it's better to know more people. You are like this year, Shuiwa, Yuqiang and the others are young, they all go out to work, at least three months, and the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year is in the twenties. to come back."

   "If you don't know someone in the city, you won't be able to ask for help."

   "You can't find a few people who work like me this year."

  Chen Ling shook his head: "Oh, this is actually a coincidence."

   He knew that Wang Lixian and the two were going to come to help him.

   The three of them have a good relationship, but Chen Ling was looking for an engineering team in the city. They had all kinds of machines. They didn't know if they could come over and help with something. They were afraid of causing trouble, so they never spoke.

"Brother Xian, if you and Brother Jusheng have nothing to do next month, come and help me for a few days. I don't know anything about building houses and factories. Brother Xian, if you are familiar with this, you can help me. I'll watch and be an overseer."

   "Brother Jusheng, when you don't go to work and are idle at home, just come here and have a look around. Then I'll see if I need your help, otherwise our family will be too busy."

   When the two heard this, they smiled and agreed.
