My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 310 Miasma Anecdote, Leopard Trail

   Miasma is not familiar to modern people.

   But in ancient times, this thing can kill people, and people talk about it.

   And this miasma belongs only to the humid and hot areas in the south.

   From the well-known ancient celebrity deeds, I heard that many people were exiled to the south, or even farther in Yunnan and Lingnan, many of them would get sick.

   Fortunately, he escaped, but his vitality was severely damaged.

   Those who are unlucky will die halfway.

  Why was there so much miasma in the ancient South?

   It is said that the ancient economic and political center was in the north, and the south, especially Lingnan, was undeveloped. In addition, the virgin jungles were everywhere, dense and hot, and the harmful gases after the death and corruption of animals and plants could not escape.

  This harmful gas is constantly brewing in the humid and hot environment, shrouded in the virgin jungle, forming a miasma.

   "Well, there is such a saying, but it's not entirely true."

After listening to Chen Ling's words, Han Ninggui nodded lightly: "In addition to the rotten gas after the death of animals and plants, some special minerals also emit miasma, such as volcanoes containing sulfur. There are also special terrains that also form miasma, such as Some valleys on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau... In short, there are many reasons, not exclusive to the south."

   "Huh? So there's still a lot of miasma now?" Chen Ling said oddly.

   "Not much, where are there more? Where there is miasma in China now, it is said that it has been discovered. It can be counted in one slap, so the presence of miasma on your side has research value."

  Han Ninggui said.

   After seeing Chen Ling and his fellow villagers, they were curious about this thing, so they explained it in detail.

   As for why not now?

   It is still developing slowly in various parts of the south, and with the implementation of large-scale projects such as mountain logging and other large-scale projects, it will naturally disappear.

  …

   After having lunch and taking a short rest, Chen Ling and the others couldn't hold back their curiosity and insisted that Han Ninggui take them to see what miasma is.

They first turned against the direction of the wetlands, turned a hill to the north, and passed through a forest full of wild chestnuts. Many of the wild chestnut trees are more than 200 years old. The chestnuts are full of trees. people.

  The southern **** is sunny, and wild fruit trees grow vigorously.

The place where   Han Ninggui took them was not steep, but since there were no people in the mountain, it was not well groomed, and it was not easy to walk until the peak turned and a creek appeared again on the edge of the mountain forest.

   Walking along the stream, it is much better than before.

   However, the shady side of the stream has a lot of moss and slippery, so naturally it has to be on the sunny side.

   "I can't see anything in this place. There is running water, and the location is open. It's not as closed as I said. Why is there a miasma here?"

  Chen Ling brought the dog, and the Harrier was flying in the sky, and didn't feel anything wrong.

  Han Ninggui nodded: "Well, there must be other reasons for this situation. If it has nothing to do with the terrain, it is very likely that there are special minerals in the valley over there. Isn't there a mine in Gucheng County to the north of you?"

   "Yeah, Gucheng County, we call it the king of the city, there are many mines, and mining began a long time ago. I heard that there are many strange things happening during the mining process, which is quite scary."

   "But Uncle Han, you said that there may be a special mine here that produces miasma. Isn't this the kind of radiation mentioned in the textbook?"

   "Oh, you guys still know about radiation, not bad...

   Speaking of radiation, this thing does not act so fast on people and living creatures. You think I said that the dog went around the valley and foamed up when he returned.

   Only ten minutes before and after, how can radiation be so fast? "

   "Oh, that's true."

   Upwards along the stream, twists and turns, and finally came to the vicinity of the valley.

  This valley is not big, and its location is very ordinary and flat.

   Wild trees, wild vines, and weeds are no different from other places.

   But within about 20 meters of this neighborhood, the two dogs of Chen Ling's family suddenly stopped and barked at the valley.

   As soon as they started, all the hounds barked after them.

   Not only the dogs barked, but the harriers from the sky hovered and fell, refusing to enter the valley.

   Strange reactions like dogs and eagles.

   makes people's heart skip a beat, and those who come to see the strangeness are also cautious.

  Han Ninggui stopped, looked at the crowd, and said, "It was the dogs and eagles of the rich family who noticed the difference in this place. When we came, the dogs didn't have such a reaction."

   "I also said on the way here that people want to enter the valley, cover their mouth and nose tightly with clothes, and try not to breathe too hard."

   Everyone nodded in response.

  Professor Han and Feng Yi have already tried it out. After staying at the edge of the valley for a while, they will vomit and have diarrhea when they return.

  Although not like the hounds foaming at the mouth, it is more serious.

  The crowd did not dare to be careless, and followed carefully into the valley.

   In fact, there were people who were afraid and didn’t want to go in, but I couldn’t hold back my curiosity, so I followed in fearfully.

  Chen Ling followed at the end, teasing his two big dogs: "There is nothing to cover your nose, you just stay outside and come in to save us if you have anything."

  The two dogs were really obedient, lying outside the valley, with a group of hounds guarding there.

   This made everyone laugh for a while, and at the same time their nervous mood was relieved a lot.

   But everyone tried to talk less and breathe lightly.

   Covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves, he walked into the valley and observed everywhere.

The valley is not big, and the wild trees, vines, and grasses are very lush. When you walk into the valley, you will feel a sense of coolness. The eyes are full of greenery. Standing on the outer edge of the valley, you can hear the sound of water flowing outside the valley, and you will not feel it. feel oppressed.

   But soon everyone found that the plants in this valley were extremely lush, but there were no birds or beasts, no snakes and rodents.

   There are many insects, and the plants are lush, but there are no animals.

   No, it’s not that he didn’t, and after walking forward for nearly a hundred meters, there was a deer lying in the grass.

   is just dead and corrupted.

   The rancid odor can be smelled even if you cover your mouth and nose with your sleeves, which is very intoxicating.

   The group walked forward again, and once again found the bones of some scattered beasts and mountain birds, some of which were very long, and only the bones were left.

   should have come here to eat grass or break in by mistake. As a result, this place is not a place for them to stay, and they can't get out of poison and die here.

   In addition to bugs, there are no footprints of all kinds of large and small mountain birds and beasts, which made some hunters feel shocked when they saw it.

  This valley is indeed a bit evil.

   turned around, and some people were slightly dizzy while covering their mouths and noses, so they all backed out.

   Retreat to the outside of the valley and breathe the fresh air, only then did I feel that my whole body was getting better again.

   "It doesn't mean there is miasma, why can't you see it in the valley?" Liu Guangli, an old hunter, had never seen this miasma. He thought that miasma was similar to fog, but he didn't see anything.

   "It's really not there during the day. It's not different from the outside, but at dusk, you can see it, and it's similar to fog."

  Han Ninggui looked around after everyone: "Lao Feng and I didn't go deep before, but this time everyone dared to go in and have a look.

   But now it seems that the protection is good, and there is not much problem in a short time after entering.

  In this case, we will do the rest by ourselves, we don’t need you to follow the adventure. "

  It is useless for others to follow the valley, and everyone doesn't understand this stuff, so they can't help them much.

   But it's not that they are completely unnecessary.

   They still need to catch some birds and beasts from time to time to bring them into the valley to do some experiments.

  The rest also need them to **** them in the mountains and work as guides and bodyguards.

   That's not what made them go back.

   For most people, it is not a problem as long as they give money, and they can hunt by the way.

  Chen Ling doesn't care, he is not interested in this miasma or anything.

   He followed them to the mountains for the leopards and wild boars.

  The leopard especially comes first.

His mind was now on looking for leopards. When he was rushing to the valley, Wang Lixian found a footprint left by a leopard not far from the water, but the smell was no longer obvious after a long time. The track is gone, and the test for the dog is still very big.

  My two dogs are not a problem whether they are hot or cold.

   But the leopard doesn't stop in one place and doesn't move.

  It is also the same as the wild boar, it has its own main animal path and sub-beast path.

   is the so-called main diameter and sub-diameter.

   Find these, you can get close to the leopard's territory, and the rest is easy.

  …

   took a trip to the miasma valley.

   After the others had no uncomfortable reaction, they helped Han Ninggui and the others to catch small prey, while Chen Ling carried a knife and a gun with two dogs in the forest to look for the leopard.

  Two dogs kept sniffing on the ground.

  Two bald men hovering in the sky.

   Over the mountains, three hills in a row, and finally figured out a clue, but the distance is too far, and we have to bypass the deep gorges to reach the Eagle Claw Ridge last year.

  Eagle Claw Ridge is also the claw-shaped mountain when I followed the jackal to pick up meat last year.

   At that time, Chen Ling picked up a male sika deer and a fragrant deer, and Liu Guangli picked up five jackals killed by his companions.

   "That place is far away, grandma. It's not easy to catch a leopard."

  Chen Ling stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the deep mountain stream under his feet, he couldn't help scratching his head.

   glanced at the two dogs, then looked at the eagle in the sky, and reluctantly entered the cave and came to the woods where the male leopard was.

The leopard was resting on his stomach on a big rock, but when he saw Chen Ling, he suddenly stood up and jumped four or five meters. He ran behind the big tree in the distance and stuck his head out, looking at him with fear. .

   This leopard is still afraid of Chen Ling, and after being played by him in the cave, the psychological shadow left behind is quite large.

   "Come here, it's time for dinner..." Chen Ling waved at him, then stretched out his hand, and a pot of wild boar flew from the thatched hut in the distance.

   Picked up a piece and threw it to the leopard.

  This wild boar comes from several female wild boars originally kept in Dongtian.

   was caught in the mountains when Chen Ling was harvesting Lingzhi before. He was shot to death and left inside for nothing, so he kept it to feed the dogs.

   It is often used to feed leopards recently.

   Pieces of flesh with bones were thrown at the leopard.

  Although the leopard was afraid of him, but these days he knew that the food was fine, so when he saw him throw it over, he jumped out from behind the big tree, grabbed a piece of wild boar thigh meat, and ran to the depths of the woods to enjoy it.

  Chen Ling was happy when he saw it, "Your **** is quite thick-skinned."

   Then he brought two dogs and an eagle into the cave, and everyone watched the cheeky leopard take away and eat the wild boar piece by piece, watching the fun leisurely.

  When the two dogs saw the leopard, they were still eager to go up and fight it.

   But he soon found out that this leopard was so pitiful. He had to hide and eat when he was eating a piece of meat.

   "Okay, since it's finished, let's not look at it, let's save some face for it."

  Chen Ling saw that the leopard had finished eating the meat, and cautiously stuck out his head among the trees to look around. The scary wound on his face had healed, making the fierce leopard look a little silly.

   "Wait, if it goes well this time, if it doesn't go well, next year at the latest, I will definitely catch a female leopard for you and let you live a sweet life."

  Chen Ling waved at the leopard, and regardless of its reaction, he led the dog and the harpoon to wander around the cave.

  Wandered around, looked at the bees, looked at the fish, and took the dog and eagle to the Jasper Tree to drink two sips of water, seeing that they were in good spirits and in better condition, and then went out with the bee bucket.

   It is rare to come to the mountains, so naturally you have to release bees.

After all the bumblebees were released, he continued to wander around the mountains with dogs and eagles. The leopards on the opposite mountain did not look for them first. First, they looked for wild boars nearby, and also stocked up for his own dogs and the leopards in the cave. Some rations, or winter.

   In addition, this is also a disguised reduction of the wild boar population, which is also a good thing, and it is his duty as a forest ranger.

   While looking for wild boars, he picked up big stones and threw them into the cave.

  50 jin, 100 jin, hundreds of jins of big rocks, as long as they are independent rocks, they are all sent to the cave.

   He wanted to wait until he caught another leopard, whether it was male or female, and he would come out of a leopard mountain in the cave.

   Thinking about the whole Leopard Mountain, I just picked up stones in the afternoon.

  In the woods where the leopard was at the end, a hill was really piled up.

   But the wild boar could not be found.

   It's not that I can't find it, but there are no pigs in the surrounding mountains.

   After they had beaten the two big boars, after such a toss, there was too much noise, and the remaining pigs were also afraid.

   was so frightened that he ran elsewhere.

  It was getting dark quickly in the mountains, and after four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun quickly faded away.

   Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Ling carried the bee bucket and took all the bees back.

   After some busy waiting, he was ready to return to the camp, but at this time, Riyuedongtian suddenly reacted.

   This reaction carries an emotion of joy.

   It turned out that the leaf on the small tree grew.

  From the buds in spring, they finally grow into leaves.

   This kind of leaves can fall off and be taken by people, and the effect is several grades stronger than Lingshui.

   "Good guy, so it's useful not only to release the seeds of the cave, but also to release the bees to collect pollen. It can also promote the growth of this leaf."

   This discovery surprised Chen Ling.

   On the way back to the camp, I was thinking that this leaf is a good thing. After taking it, it is many times stronger than the spiritual water, and it is good for people's body and spirit.

   He had taken one tablet before.

   Therefore, this leaf should be taken for the daughter-in-law to make her body better.

   It's good to have a second child.
