My 1995 Small Farm

  Chen Ling went back to his home in the village, first looked to see which kinds of medicinal materials were most in short supply, then found a medicine **** with a basket on his back from the woodshed, took a shotgun, called a dog, and went out to Nanshan to collect herbs.

  Beishan and Xishan’s families are worried about him going. There are jackals and all kinds of wild animals. Those thieves have had accidents twice, and the brave ones don’t dare to go deep into the mountains.

  The villagers recently went to the mountains to go to the outskirts, or to Nanshan.

   However, when Chen Ling went to Nanshan, he didn't leave the village directly as usual. Instead, he walked slowly along the newly dug small river outside the village.

  The small river twists and turns, winding around the east of the village.

  The villagers who ordered Baogu and went home to eat, some washed vegetables by the small river, and some washed dishes after eating.

  Seeing Chen Ling wandering around with a dog in a bamboo basket, they all smiled and greeted each other, and at the same time couldn't help sighing in their hearts how leisurely this kid was.

  Others think that Chen Ling is idle, but in fact, for more than a month recently, Chen Ling has not really been free.

  First, the Water Margin crew came to find it, and then Zhao Yubao and his family came over early to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Anyway, various people came to visit.

  Although everyone comes here mainly to eat, drink and have fun, when there is any work to be done at home, they are also sincerely helping.

  Whether it is a small water tower, selling fish, harvesting wheat, etc., it has helped a lot.

  But in the end the visitor is the visitor.

  You still have to entertain with heart.

   Relatives and friends are here, and it is fun to get together with relatives and friends.

  Play alone and have the fun of playing alone.

   Have fun with friends every day for a long time.

   Naturally, I also want to come out and play alone.

   "Time flies so fast, the wild ducks in the second brood have all come out of the nest."

  The small river outside the village has just been connected for less than half a month, and there are already groups of wild ducks swimming and frolicking on the river.

   Walking all the way towards Nanshan, Laohewan is more lively here.

   Not only the wild ducks, but even the water birds such as the crake and other small fluffy young birds were calling incessantly in the reeds.

  Seeing this, Chen Ling thought that it was also the peak season for the old turtle to lay eggs, so he was going to walk around on the beach to see if there were any traces left by the old turtle.

  Accidentally, I kicked over two rocks on the river beach, and found several crabs huddled together to hide from the shade.

  Chen Ling wanted to catch him in surprise.

   As a result, the two of Hei Wa cried out impatiently.

  In the past few days, the family has been busy with farm work, and Xiaojin, the black baby, circles around Ruirui all day long, helping to take care of the baby.

   It’s been a long time since I came out to play.

  As soon as he approached the mountain forest, he was immediately excited. He yelled "Wang Wang Wang" and ran up the mountain road.

  Chen Ling shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, let's go to the mountains first, and we'll talk about crabs when they come back."

   So he followed the two dogs up the mountain.

   After a period of time, I didn’t come to the mountains. When I stepped into the forest, I heard the clear and melodious birdsong and felt the rich greenery.

   It turned out to be more comfortable than coming to the mountains in spring.

  The sound of cicadas chirping, the breeze intoxicating.

  All kinds of insects, birds, and the melodious sound of "ding ding dong dong" in the mountain spring.

  Suddenly, there were a few soft barks of "Wow, woof, woof" coming from an unknown direction. The distance was quite far, and I don't know if it was in the depths of the forest, or one or two hills away.

  After the two dogs heard the bark, they immediately pricked up their ears, raised their noses to the sky and sniffed, stared at a certain direction, and began to growl.

   "Huh? Did the red-haired deer come up from Nanshan?"

  When Chen Ling heard this strange cry, he immediately knew what it was.

   Barking deer, also known as barking deer.

   "It seems that the packs of jackals and wolves from Beishan and Xishan have driven them all here."

  Looked at the restless two dogs: "Okay, wait a little longer, it's been stable for two months, now this thing is also breeding season, it's not time for us to go hunting..."

  The two dogs immediately stopped looking in that direction, and started running around in the forest.

  For a while, they dug holes, for a while they peed, and for a while they drilled into the dense wild vines and picked out rotten little beasts with only bones left.

   They were having fun, and Chen Ling took the medicine **** and slowly collected herbs.

  There are a lot more herbs in Nanshan this year than in previous years.

  But after all, it is not comparable to Beishan and Xishan.

  So digging herbs, I turned over two ridges without knowing it.

   Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked down from the ridge, I saw rustling in the forest on the other side of the river, and a few shadows moved slightly.

  Hei Wa's eyes lit up immediately, and their ears and tail stood up immediately.

  If Chen Ling hadn't told them that it wasn't the hunting season, they would have lowered their bodies and lurked past.

   "I'll go, sika deer herd!"

  Chen Ling's eyes straightened instantly, because it was really hard to see things like sika deer in the surrounding forests.

  Unless you eat less in winter.

   And now there are barking deer and sika deer herds, which proves that the number of these wild animals will definitely not be small this year.

  The number of wild animals has increased.

   Correspondingly, uncommon beasts such as jackals and leopards will follow.

   "Okay, okay, it's hard to justify not catching two female leopards this autumn."

  Thinking of this, Chen Ling couldn't help but smile.

  Seeing seven or eight does, they quietly watched and came out of the forest, approaching the water's edge cautiously.

   There are a few cute little sika deer following behind.

   There are more than ten deer in this herd, and the scale is definitely not small.

  Chen Ling had the urge to catch them all into the cave and let them continue to expand in size.

   After thinking about it, I didn't do it.

But looking at the little sika deer poking their heads, he couldn't hold back his mischievous mentality. He stood up and slapped his hands and yelled loudly, scaring a group of sika deer, big and small, into a "Yo Yo" The sound fled away quickly.

  Chen Ling laughed happily when he saw this.

  The two dogs also barked and rushed down the hillside, across the river, chased for a distance, and then came back wet and flicked their tails at Chen Ling excitedly.

   Apparently, they also like this kind of wild and rough play.

   "Let's go, go, go to the woods, and see what else can be blasted out."

   "If a leopard can really be surprised, we will catch it on the spot."

  Chen Ling laughed, put the basket and medicine **** and other things into the cave, and led them into the forest with strides.

   One person and two dogs ran and roared, scaring all the birds and beasts to run around.

   After such a toss, a lot of unexpected things really came out.

   Like a fox.

   In the past, there were really few such things.

   Except for the few foxes near his home, Chen Ling really didn't see any other foxes.

   This time I turned over two hills, and I saw no less than four fox dens from the riverside, stone ditch and other places.

   Really surprised and delighted.

   Even, Chen Ling ran into a female badger moving with a baby badger in her mouth.

  Scared by him and the two dogs, he left the little badger and ran away.

   Seeing the size of the little badger, Chen Ling should have been weaned, so he put it in the cave and ignored it.

   Then I went to the badger's lair to search again, and took out the remaining little badger, and the two were companions in the cave.

  Otherwise, if one is thrown away, the female badger will not accept it if it smells human.

   It's not good to let other beasts eat it.

   It’s better to throw it into the cave.

  …

  In short, there are many kinds of birds and beasts in the mountains today, and even the types of vegetation seem to have increased a lot.

  Wild orchids, wild apples... Chen Ling also saw several wild watermelons.

  He dug a plant and threw it into the cave, planning to take it out and breed it in his spare time.

   With such a surprise harvest, Chen Ling was full of joy when he was rushing back from the mountains at noon.

   After all, I caused this change by myself, not to mention the sense of accomplishment.

   Leading Hei Wa down the mountain humming a ditty.

  Just round the Old River Bend, I heard a little doll shouting under the big tree: "The ants are moving to the snake passage, and the heavy rain is coming soon. It must be raining soon."

Chen Ling looked over there. It was Komori from Yuqiang's family, carrying a small bucket and a small shovel on the ridge of the melon field with a group of dolls younger than him. He didn't know what to dig. There was a pile of soil.

   "Hey, you guys, you don't go back to eat at noon, what are you doing here, don't you know there are jackals in the mountains?"

  Chen Ling shouted.

  However, their eyes lit up, and they ran over yelling 'Uncle Grandpa' and 'Fugui Uncle' despite being covered in dirt.

   "Uncle, we are looking for turtle eggs. Recently, many turtles have laid eggs."

   "Yes, we want to find some and take them back to hatch little turtles..."

   "Grandpa, ask Heiwa and Xiaojin to help you find it. We can't find where the wheat field turtles bury their eggs. It took a long time to find a nest."

  At this time, a sleepy old man emerged from the shack.

   "Yo, Fugui went to the mountain?"

   "Oh, Brother Jukun is watching melons here, I thought no one was watching them."

  Chen Ling smiled and said a few words to Wang Jusheng.

   Then he turned around and said to Komori: "It's easy to find turtle eggs. I can teach you how to find them without two black babies."

  The number of turtles has just increased this year.

   Logically speaking, they should not harm their turtle eggs.

   But, some things are not that simple.

  For example, it’s the farming season, and the wheat field turtle likes to lay eggs in the farmland again, so there is no way.

   Now the wheat is harvested and the autumn crops are being planted.

   The tortoise cannot find a suitable place to lay eggs.

  Many eggs will be destroyed even if people don't look for them.

  The little turtle cannot hatch.

   "Wow, Uncle Fugui, can you really find the place where the turtle lays its eggs? Quickly teach us."

   "Yes, Uncle, please teach us quickly. You have to teach me how to find turtle eggs. I will give you all the cicadas I caught tonight."

   These little things, when they encountered catching tortoises and tortoise eggs in the first year, when they were full of freshness, they burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm for these tortoise eggs.

   "What are you doing pestering your uncle? It's noon. Didn't your uncle be allowed to eat?"

  Wang Jukun scolded his grandson and others.

   Then he took two picked watermelons and brought them to him.

   "Haha, it's okay, Brother Jukun, just looking for a turtle egg..."

  Chen Ling smiled at Wang Jukun, and then said to Komori and the others: "The turtle eggs are not too difficult to find, you just need to understand their temperament.

  The wheat field tortoise used to like to dig a hole in the ditch near the root of the wheat to lay its eggs, and then dig the soil to bury the hole after laying the eggs.

   Now that the wheat has been harvested, there are more turtles in the melon fields, which is the same.

   Still looking for the root.

  What are you looking for? I'm looking for the paw prints of their paws.

  For example here..."

   Chen Ling said this, looking around, and soon saw a watermelon near the field ridge with thin claw marks on the root, and the traces of soil turning were very obvious.

   "And when you dig turtle holes, don't dig them with shovels. Otherwise, if you go down with your shovels, if there are really turtle eggs, you won't be able to shovel them into pieces."

This group of little devils just laughed and laughed. The wheat field turtle is rare these years. They don't know much like catching scorpions and monkeys. They just take advantage of the freshness and mess around here. .

   As Chen Ling said, he squatted down and stretched out his hand to pull away the muck beside his feet.

  The burrows where turtles lay eggs are generally not deep, only about ten centimeters.

  He slowly dug out the loose soil covering the top with his hands, and a few milky white turtle eggs were exposed below, which looked crystal clear, like beautiful white pebbles.

   "Hey, this is it."

   "Wow, Uncle, you are so amazing, you found it when you said you found it."

  The little dolls cheered for a while.

  Chen Ling clapped his hands with a smile: "Okay, I'm going home for dinner, you can play here, I've found enough turtle eggs, I'll tell you how to hatch all the little turtles alive."
