My 1995 Small Farm

Chapter 296: Red-crowned crane, leopard reappears

   "Every year in Duanyang and Chongyang, there is also the King of Medicine Club here. You can come and play next year."

   On the way back, the scenery was beautiful and the wild geese were in the sky. I felt that the young couple were still a little unfinished, Gao Xiulan said.

   "Dragon Boat Festival and Chongyang, aren't these busy times?"

  Chen Ling said strangely: "Why did you choose the Yaowang Guild in these two days?"

   "It is said that the yang qi in these two days is heavy and it is easy to cure diseases, so I chose these two days."

   Gao Xiulan said, she doesn't know anything else.

   Yaowanghui can be simply understood as a large temple fair to worship Sun Simiao.

   It was very lively then.

  Family people related to collecting, planting and selling medicines will come, and ordinary people will also come to pray for a healthy body.

   Some doctors in the elderly will also do good deeds and free clinics.

   "That's right."

  Chen Ling had heard of this Medicine King Association before, not only in their place, but also in many places across the country.

   One place is one kind, and the days are also different.

   But this Medicine King Association is not an important thing.

   The key is that it came out this time, and I really didn't play enough.

   Although it is said that the fish is caught here, there are also harvests such as leopard skins.

   But as Gao Xiulan said, Chen Ling and his wife are still a little unfinished.

  Since this is the case, I have already come out, so I don't rush to go back. I will go to Fenglei Town and take Wang Susu and my wife home to have a look.

   Wang Susu didn't come back with him last time, but this time he just took the baby home to see and visit relatives and friends.

   So, they stayed in Yaowangzhai for another day, visiting relatives and households, having two lively meals at noon and evening, and staying at home for one night before they had all the fun.

   It is a pity that the second uncle and brother Wang Qingzhong and his wife did not come back, and they were busy selling food outside.

  On the third day, when driving down the mountain, I ran into Wei Jun and Xiang Yuhua again. Xiang Yuhua was even more enthusiastic and excited when he saw Wang Susu than when he saw Chen Ling last time.

   Needless to say, not only is Chen Ling driving a car, but this time he also drove in a different car.

   made the two of them almost unable to move their eyes, and they were greatly shocked.

   Xiang Yuhua pulled Wang Susu warmly to greet him, and said that she wanted to visit Wang Susu at home some time ago, but she couldn't go when the doll was full of moon wine, and she was very sorry.

   The attitude of facing Wang Susu last year is completely gone.

   Actually, regarding Xiang Yuhua and Wei Jun, Wang Susu heard Chen Ling and her parents talk about it last time, and she still found it difficult to accept.

   Now that the old classmates have done this too, I know how Chen Ling and the others felt last time. It's really annoying.

  Fortunately, the weather is not good today, and after a while, it started to rain lightly.

  Wang Susu was upset, so she took Chen Ling away under the pretext of rain.

   "How about it, my mother and sister-in-law were right last time, right? They are also for your own good."

   On the way home, Chen Ling teased his daughter-in-law.

   Last time, Gao Xiulan and Su Li talked about it again, and he just told Wang Susu, otherwise he and Wang Qingwen's temper would not have chewed their tongues like that.

   Wang Susu knew that he had no good words, gave him a blank look, snorted, and turned around with his son in his arms and ignored him.

   It was still raining outside the car, and the more we drove towards Chenwangzhuang, the heavier the rain.

The    mountain road was also harder than usual.

   Normally, I could get home at noon, but it was two hours late because of the rain.

   On a rainy day like this, after returning home and having dinner, there is nothing to do.

  The family gathered around and talked about the baby's new name.

   "Added the word scene, this is the same fortune-telling, I thought of this before." The old man took the note and looked at it, and said disapprovingly.

  's mother-in-law glared at him: "Just because you talk too much, people still calculate that you broke your leg, can you figure out that you are going to break your leg?"

  Because his son's name was already called "Rui Rui", he was used to it, so when the old man who foretold suggested that he should change his name, Wang Susu mentioned it to him.

   Don't change the word "Rui".

  The old man fortune-telling wrote a word when he heard this, and handed it to Chen Ling to hold it. Don't look at it before going home.

   I'm home now, so when I look at it, it turns out to be the character for "view".

   "Jing Rui, Chen Jingrui."

  Wang Zhenzhen muttered a few words and shouted, "Rui Rui changed his name to Chen Jingrui. Isn't that the name of a mathematician? I learned it in the first grade."

   "What? What the hell? You little fool, you've learned everything, and you've gone to your grandma's house. I taught you the story of Chen Jingrun."

  Wang Qingwen was so angry that he gave the little sister a brain break, "That's Chen Jingrun, Run, not Rui. You still make this kind of mistake when you are in the fourth grade. Let your teacher know that you must be punished for writing it a hundred times."

  Wang Zhenzhen just covered his head, shrank his neck and laughed.

  Wang Qingwen glared at her, ignored her, turned to Chen Ling and Wang Susu and said, "This name is pretty good, and it doesn't look old-fashioned."

  The old man tasted it carefully, and then said: "It's really not bad, there is a bit of gentleness in the name, I am afraid it is to suppress the masculinity of this child Ruirui."

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu nodded their approval.

   Changed the baby's name, because only one word was added, the baby is not much different from before, and it doesn't have much impact.

   Slowly, everyone just thinks the new name is more pleasant and smooth. As Wang Qingwen said, this name is quite suitable for this kind of baby, and it is not old-fashioned to call it.

  He is a teacher, and he talks about the names of students all day long, and his experience is naturally a little deeper.

   So the eldest brother has a right to speak. If he thinks it is good, then it is really good, no problem.

  …

   "My dear, didn't you go out to burn incense this time? Why did you bring back two leopard skins?"

  Wang Cunye was surprised when he saw Chen Ling pack up the things in the car.

   "Bought it from a medicinal farmer, right in the mountains beyond Halongkou..."

  Chen Ling told his father-in-law carefully, and the old man was even more surprised.

   "There are still herb collectors over there. In the eight stockades over there, there are very few real herb collectors, so they just grow tea and raise snakes."

   The old man said that this herb collection is naturally the kind of cliff-flying herb collection.

   The general herbs are very sparse and common. You can pick them up in the mountains, and you can also pick them in the wild, which is not worthy of praise.

   also doesn't resonate with him.

   "Yes, we saw them flying around with ropes hanging from the top of the mountain from a distance on the business road."

  Chen Ling said: "At first we didn't intend to look for it, but after burning the incense, when we were catching fish, we happened to meet them coming down the mountain to dry the medicine. It was also a coincidence."

   Then he talked about the experience of meeting Lao Xing and others.

   also took out what Lao Xing gave.

   A bottle of honey, half a bag of pine cones, and some wild fruits in the mountains, jujube and schisandra. It's delicious.

   They also have them in the mountains here, but in the depths, they have to go further.

   "There is still such a big pine tower, it's not bad, really a pharmacist."

   As soon as Wang Cunye saw the pine tower, he immediately believed it. This thing can’t deceive people. No one pays for the pine tower now.

   "It's the pharmacist. We also met the golden monkeys. They came down from the top of the mountain to find A Ling..." Wang Susu said it again with a bright eyebrow.

   "You really didn't go out in vain this time. Your sister-in-law and I heard it, and our hearts are very itchy." Wang Qingwen said cheerfully.

   "Then next year, let's go together and catch up with the Yaowanghui."

  Chen Ling didn't say anything, let's go. In his eyes, the most important thing is his family and friends, nothing else matters, and he can put it aside if he has something.

   "Okay, okay, next year, let's go to the Medicine King Meeting."

   "Duanyang and Chongyang, there is always one who can catch up, hahaha."

   Talking and laughing, Chen Ling opened the buckwheat honey and let them taste it. This strange honey with a smell of feet made people frown and laugh in surprise. Sitting together as a family was lively.

  …

  It rained all day and night.

   Fortunately, the next two days will be sunny, and the autumn harvest will soon follow.

   During the autumn harvest season, every household is busy with their feet not touching the ground, but they are only busy for ten days.

   After harvesting peanuts, corn, soybeans and other crops, and then letting go of the crop poles and planting wheat, the farmers will usher in a long period of slack.

   The village has been busy these days, only Chen Ling helped a few families break down the buds, so he had nothing to do.

   Every day, he is not wandering around with cattle and sheep, or he is walking around on the ridge with two dogs.

   When someone broke corn stalks or chopped corn stalks at home, he would walk slowly with the dog.

   When the rabbits, pheasants, etc. in the corn field are disturbed and run out, that is, when two dogs are dispatched, one will be caught, one will be caught, half a day, it will be a great harvest.

   Even pheasants can fly, but they cannot escape their pursuit.

   Although this pheasant can fly, most of them are in flocks in autumn, with several together.

   Flocks of pheasants are bold, and they are so numerous that they will not fly up and run immediately even if they are frightened.

   Instead, they will suffocate their heads, get into the grass, and run wildly in the lush grass. With the advantage of the environment, they can quickly get rid of the enemy.

  The pheasant can fly and run, and it runs very fast.

   Even if they don't fly, they just run, and ordinary dogs can't catch up with them, because in the crops, the vines are thick and the grass is deep, and the dogs can't run away from them. Unless the wheat fields are just planted, the dogs can let go and chase them.

   But this is not a big deal for Heiwa and Xiaojin. They ran into the crops, got into the grass, and they were caught by three and five.

  When it comes to this kind of time, who runs out of the land, whether it is a pheasant or a hare, Chen Ling will give people two.

   Coaxing the other party into a happy mood, as for himself, he also gained a lot.

   All eggs are disposed of by the way when they are sold, and even if they are kept at home for food, there are not a few left.

   In a few days, these pheasants and rabbits can sell for a lot of money on the set.

   In addition, the geese came one after another as in previous years, constantly flying back and forth between the reservoir and the lake in the mountains. Chen Ling also took a gun to hunt geese from time to time.

  The dog chases and shoots the gun, so naturally there will be no harvest. Since the beginning of the autumn harvest, Chen Ling's family's iron pot stewed wild goose has been eaten several times in a row.

   makes the villagers very envious.

   There are even many people who have dogs, and those who have a **** at home. Seeing this, they can't help but prepare for the autumn harvest, so they look for Chen Ling's black baby to match the dog.

   He has two good dogs, and he doesn't ask too much for anything else. At least he can be like Chen Ling, who can drive rabbits and catch two pheasants. This guy has a very nourishing life.

  …

   The buds were broken, the poles were chopped down, and the fields became empty.

  The air in the mountains is good. On a sunny autumn day, the blue sky and white clouds complement each other. Standing on the high **** and looking out, the whole valley can be seen.

  The village was completely busy, the fields were no longer covered by crops, and the eldest brother’s family also sent away. Chen Ling and his father-in-law carried buckets and long bamboo poles up the mountain to look for honey.

  The wild honey harvested from the forest farm was used for half of the brewing. Wang Qingwen’s family took some away, and there was not much honey at home.

   In addition, it is also for my father-in-law to relax.

   As the saying goes, the smell is far away and the smell is near. The old man missed his two little grandsons so much when he didn't see them. As a result, the two little guys came over, and they were so annoying after only seven or eight days of playing.

  Typically, I can't see it, I think, and I hate it when I see it.

   I've been bored for a few days, but today I have to follow Chen Ling out to get some air, take the dog to the mountain to play, collect a few beehives, and relax.

   said that he was collecting honeycombs, but in fact, Chen Ling knew that the old man was thinking of coming to the mountains to pick some herbs.

   A few days ago I told him about Lao Xing's people, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

  Recently, it’s almost late autumn, and the medicinal materials are picking wild chrysanthemum, digging kudzu and wild yam, and nothing else.

   There are too many beasts, and I will not go to the deep mountains.

   Weng and husband-in-law were walking up the West Mountain. Before they went too far, the little yellow dog barked and ran towards the direction of the stream ahead.

   The little yellow dog loves to play, and he is shocked all day long. He is not as spiritual as Heiwa Xiaojin.

  I took it up the mountain to play today, and Heiwa Xiaojin stayed at the farm to watch the house.

   Anyway, they brought guns and steel forks, and they just walked around the periphery and didn't go far.

   That's enough.

   Who knew that the little yellow dog was barking non-stop in front of him, and at the same time, there was a burst of quack barking, which was full of panic and fear.

   "Is this movement a wild goose?"

  Chen Ling's ears moved, thinking that this unfortunate child is still good enough to catch the geese.

  The old man frowned and listened, "It should be, I sound like it."

   The two walked over to take a look, and the little yellow dog was staring at the grass beside the stream with a low growl.

   Maybe he sensed someone coming, and there was a violent flutter in the grass, and all the feathers flew out.

  Chen Lingyi was a daring man. He took a look at the tall and lush weeds. He was stunned for a moment. Where is this wild goose? This is clearly a red-crowned crane.

   Red forehead, long mouth, slender black neck, white feathers, and long legs like a pair of bamboo poles. Graceful and graceful.

   After Wang Cunye saw what it was, he even shouted, "His grandmother's, this is a crane."

   said angrily and slapped the little yellow dog: "Why did you catch a crane?"

   "Hey, no, this crane hurt his leg and couldn't fly."

   I saw that the legs of this red-crowned crane were covered by a cover, and I don’t know who put the cover on this side. The red-crowned crane’s wings were also injured in the struggle, and the white wings were dyed red.

   "I'm injured, but there are other situations here, Dad, let's take this crane back to get some medicine first. I'll come back in two days for the matter of looking for a honeycomb."

  Chen Ling stared at the marks on the wet mud not far from the water, and couldn't tell whether he should be happy or helpless.

   "What's the matter? What's the matter? Find a honeycomb and come back in two days?"

"Well, you see, the leopard's footprints here are very obvious, very fresh, and it is a heat trail. This leopard has definitely not returned to its deep mountains and forests, and has been moving nearby. When we are few people, we should not go up the mountain. already."

  Chen Ling pointed to the plum blossom footprints on the wet mud floor. The footprints intersected with a series of large and scattered bird paw prints, which were very obvious.
