My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 289 Wolf and dog, protect the calf

  Compared to the wolf howling in the mountains, Heiwa's howl sounds a little more frightening, as if there is a kind of pressure, which makes people feel uncomfortable, and even subconsciously tightens their hearts, giving birth to fear.

   This point, Chen Ling had only felt it on Xiao Jin before.

   It was only a few times when Xiao Jin summoned the group of dogs when he was in danger.

   But Xiaojin's cry will be very soft and deep, and most people can't even hear it if they don't listen carefully.

   And the degree of depression and discomfort is not as good as Heiwa's howl.

   Fortunately, Heiwa didn't call out a few times.

   And after Heiwa's cry stopped, the wolves in the mountain also stopped howling.

   In this regard, although Chen Ling and others are puzzled, they also know that the two of them must be communicating with each other.

   I have to say that Heiwa has changed a lot recently.

   It seems that love really changes people.

   Those little she-wolves deserve a lot of credit.

   Even so, it has to be guarded against.

After Chen Ling returned from the village after sending off his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he and Wang Qingwen set a few clips outside the farm, lit two bonfires, and sprinkled them with poison powder to drive away wolves, so that they would not spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here. Go down the mountain at night and touch it.

   Not to mention, in the bright moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival night, two bonfires outside the farmhouse, accompanied by the flying of fireflies, are also extremely artistic.

  Chen Ling admired the moon and stopped for a long time.

   Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, on the 16th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when Chen Ling went to the mountain to pick up eggs, he suddenly realized that today's Heiwa did not run to the back of the mountain early, but honestly followed behind him to pick up eggs. Patrol the mountains, guard the chickens.

   This took him by surprise.

   What made it let go of the little she-wolf and become so self-absorbed?

   Is the estrus period over?

   With doubts, Chen Ling went to Lang Diaoyan again.

   As a result, I went to the wolf's den in the ravine to see, my dear, there are no wolves.

  The wolves have long since moved.

   Thinking of the wolf howling last night, Chen Ling suddenly understood something.

  …

   "The wolf in the mountains has moved?"

  Wang Qingwen heard the news and stood up, "Could it be that they moved because we went to see them yesterday?"

   "If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't let you take us there to see the strangeness yesterday."

  Wang Qingwen thinks that they brought a bunch of little kids there yesterday, maybe it was because the wolf was disturbed, so they moved out overnight without staying for a day.

   Gao Xiulan also nodded: "Yes, yes, when we were going back to the village last night, they were barking in the mountains for a long time, and Heiwa was barking too. It must be that time when those wolves were about to move."

Chen Lingdao: "It shouldn't be. I used to go to the back mountain to see them often, and Susu and I also went there with our children. Yesterday, it was just me and my eldest brother. It's really a few children, so they won't be afraid of them. Well, move out overnight."

   "Well, not so much."

  Wang Cunye frowned and said, "Did you think Heiwa was pregnant with those she-wolves after marrying them? Then they moved away."

   "Pregnant, so soon?"

   Gao Xiulan was a little unconvinced.

   Wang Qingwen and his wife didn't quite believe it either.

   "It's so fast, it's only half a month old, and the black baby is still strong like a calf. The she-wolf must be pregnant with an accurate baby. Needless to say."

  Wang Cunye became more and more certain the more he said it.

   looked at Chen Ling and said, "You guys are raising cattle on the mountain, and there are very few sheep, so maybe you don't know the situation.

   There are a lot of cattle and sheep in the mountains. Once the cattle and sheep are paired with seeds and they are pregnant with cubs, they must always pay attention, especially when they are about to give birth.

  Otherwise, this cow and this sheep should give birth to cubs, and maybe they will hide in some mountain valley and not come out.

   This thing protects the calf, and the same is true for the master's family. It is secretive, and it has to wait until the cub is born and the moon is full before he is willing to take the cub home from the mountains.

  Otherwise, they hide and try to find them, but they may not be able to find them. They hide so deeply.

  You see, our livestock is still like this, let alone wolves, this thing is cautious and cunning, and its brains are very clever. They know that they are pregnant with cubs, so they must stay far away, not close to people. "

   The words of the old man made Chen Lingmao stop.

  Others also showed a sudden look.

  Chen Ling smiled and kicked Heiwa: "Good boy, so you already knew that the wolves were going to move."

   Heiwa stuck out his tongue, gave him a simple and honest look, turned around and continued to play around with the little yellow dog.

   Today is the 16th day of the 8th lunar month.

   It has been almost two months since Chen Ling discovered wolf dung and wolf tracks in Langdiaoyan.

He didn't know when the   wolf pack came here.

  These small-scale wolves come and go like the wind, and their hunting grounds are not very large.

   Maybe you didn’t move too far away.

   After being pregnant with a cub, when looking for a place to make a hole, it will definitely be more concealed than this time.

  If you want to find it, you have to spend some effort.

   "So, wait another four months or so, by the end of the year, how many litters will be born?"

   "You have to give me one back then."

  Wang Qingwen rubbed his chin and said.

   As the saying goes, cats are three dogs, four pigs, five sheep and six.

   is about the gestation period of these animals, cats have three months to give birth, dogs have four months, pigs and sheep are longer.

   Now is the 16th day of the 8th lunar month. Waiting for another four months to give birth to a puppy, isn't it the end of the year?

   "Brother, you are wrong."

   Chen Ling shook his head and laughed when he heard what Uncle said.

   "Huh? Did I say it wrong?"

  Wang Qingwen was stunned when he heard the words, and then slapped his forehead, "Yes, it's not right, it should be a few litters of little wolves and puppies."

   "Qingwen, you don't understand what you mean, that's not what your brother-in-law said."

   Gao Xiulan smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law means that the four months inside the cat, the dog, and the dog are dogs, not wolves."

   "Where can the wolf take four months, about two months will do."

  Wang Qingwen was suddenly surprised, "This wolf is not the same as a dog when it is pregnant with a cub, isn't it?"

   "That must be different."

  Chen Ling patted his uncle on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This wolf is a wolf, and the dog is a dog. Don't look at the fact that the two things can be matched together. In fact, the difference is huge."

  Wolf and dog are not reproductively isolated.

The offspring of    have no defects, but can breed excellent varieties through crossbreeding.

   From this point of view, it seems that there is not much difference between the two.

   But in fact, the physiques of wolves and dogs are different.

  Wolf gets pregnant quickly, gives birth quickly, and has a very strong stomach, large appetite, and quick digestion of food.

  The dog is not good enough, if nothing else, the dog's stomach is much worse than the wolf's.

   For example, a dog will develop lactose intolerance when drinking milk, and if it drinks too much, it will die of diarrhea, and a wolf will be fine.

   "Good guy, then, you won't have to wait long before you can have a few litters of wolves."

  Wang Qingwen became happy when he heard it, "Two months have passed in a flash. If we can find these wolves back then, I have to leave a little wolf dog for me."

   Xiao Zhengtong, who was playing not far away, heard this and ran over and shouted, "Uncle, I want three, one for my father, one for my mother, and one for me."

   Xiao Dongdong also called out: "Uncle, I want three, and I want three."

   "Alright, alright, if we can find the wolf's den at that time, let's catch all the little wolf dogs back, you can choose as you like."

  Chen Ling smiled and patted their heads.

   "What are you two talking about, the little baby just fell asleep, hurry up and play."

   "Every time you come to your aunt's house, you are dishonest. What has happened in the past two days."

   Gao Xiulan glared at the two little grandsons. As soon as these two little things came here, they were more wild than at home.

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu both like children, and generally they will be satisfied with their non-excessive requirements, allowing them to play to their heart's content.

   So it's more casual here.

   Since I came here the night before yesterday, I have been running around the village with Wang Zhenzhen.

   That guy has never sweated on his body.

  My hair was wet all day.

   They didn't feel tired either. As soon as they opened their eyes in the morning, they were running around behind Wang Zhenzhen's buttocks and playing like clockwork, and couldn't stop for a moment.

   "Little aunt, the wild monkeys are coming down the mountain again. Come out and fight the monkeys."

   At this time, Liu Ni'er's shout came from outside the farm.

   "Come on, come on."

  Wang Zhenzhen heard that the wild monkeys were going down the mountain again, and immediately came to the spirit. He took his two little nephews, picked up their respective weapons, and ran out in a hurry.

   Heiwa and the little yellow dog saw this, and immediately followed, looking even more excited than the little ones.

   "Wild monkeys often come down the mountain, so what's growing here on the farm won't get in the way." Wang Qingwen asked.

  Chen Ling shook his head: "It's okay, our side is full of sunflowers. The monkeys came for the corn, and the sunflower seeds are not sweet, they don't look down on them."

   "Oh, what's up with this sunflower, is it about to be collected?" Wang Qingwen asked again.

   Big uncle wanted to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday to help Chen Ling collect the sunflowers.

   "I can't accept it, at least it's time for September."

  Chen Ling smiled and said, "If I should take it recently, I don't have the mind to take Susu and Mother to Yaowang Temple to offer incense."

   Gao Xiulan also laughed when she heard it: "Your brother-in-law took you over so that you can stay here with your father."

   "Otherwise, your father and Zhenzhen are left to watch the house, and he is not happy."

  Wang Qingwen and Su Ligai laughed when they heard it, "My dad might want to go along too, but it's not unhappy that you don't take him out."

   "When spring came, my father also said that I came to Susu, but I have to look around. I used to be far away, and I couldn't even go to the county town. This time I can think of it as enough."

   "As a result, if you don't take him out now, he will be aggrieved. Isn't that right?"

  Wang Cunye immediately stared at his eldest son when he heard these words: "Damn you, you are starting to be rude. You even laughed at your father, so your brother-in-law must have hired him."

  Chen Ling heard the words and spread his hands beside him, but smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll recruit, I'll recruit."

   Everyone laughed again.

   "What are you talking about? It's so lively?"

   At this time, Wang Susu walked downstairs with his son in his arms.

  Su Ligai saw her coming, and hurried up, "Oh, did we wake up the baby by talking so loudly?"

   "No, no. It's getting colder recently, and Rui Rui is a little sleepy. He didn't sleep in the morning a while ago." Wang Susu said.

   "Now the baby sleeps a few times a day."

   "You have to sleep four times, two naps in the morning, half an hour is enough. Two or three hours at noon, and the rest is the big sleep at night."

   "That's alright, I slept a lot. Get more sleep, such a big baby, get more sleep."

   "Yeah, more sleep is not bad."

  Wang Susu responded and sat next to Chen Ling with her son in her arms, "What did you guys just say, you were talking and laughing."

  Chen Ling briefly said what he had just said, and Wang Susu also cheered: "Father, if you want to go out for a walk, just as your elder brother and sister-in-law are here, let A Ling take you to the county town to play."

"Isn't it true that there are still bees confiscated at the Chengdong Forest Farm? Our family's autumn harvest is late, and we are not busy. You take your father and elder brother to collect the bees. Such a big beehive contains a lot of honey. Let's eat a little, and the rest can make a few jars of mead."

  When playing at the forest farm the day before yesterday, Chen Ling described to them how big the honeycombs built in the stone wall were.

  If you don't accept it, leave it there and be discovered by others, they won't be merciful.

   "Yeah, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot that there is still a swarm of bees in the Chengdong Forest Farm."

   If it wasn't for Wang Susu's reminder, he might have forgotten about it.

So I looked at my old husband and my uncle: "It's still early, let's go and scoop out that swarm, and we'll be able to eat honey when we come back in the noon, and then I'll use honey to make two special dishes for our family. "

   When the old man heard this, he waved his hand: "Go, take it out."

"Walk."

  Wang Qingwen also came to the spirit.

  This year, the teaching task is heavy. It is rare to come to my brother-in-law to play during the holiday, so I need to relax.

   Just as the three of them were sharpening their knives and tidying up everything from honey buckets to raincoats to prevent bee stings.

  Xiaojin outside the farm suddenly shouted loudly.

   Gao Xiulan also shouted in front of the farm: "Monkey, the wild monkey has come down from our side."

  ——

   Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
