My 1995 Small Farm

  Chapter 512

   "Yeah, it's a critical period. After autumn, you can probably see the little crane breaking its shell."

  Chen Ling was looking inside with a telescope.

  He still has a camera around his neck.

   Not only is the guy well-prepared, but there is also a baby boy beside him, one black and one yellow, and two big dogs guarding him. This picture is simply amazing.

   "Where did you find the telescope, have you seen it? Show me too."

  Yu Qi'an was very greedy when he saw it, and said impatiently.

   "Here you go.

  We came too early.

   Better to come at night.

   Come at night, neither egrets nor red-crowned cranes move. "

  Chen Ling handed him the binoculars, got up with his son in his arms, and went to take pictures of the egrets in the forest. The red-crowned cranes couldn't get close, so it wasn't easy to take pictures.

   "Why is this?"

  Yu Qi'an hasn't reacted yet.

   "You often raise birds, don't those who raise pigeons know?

   Red-crowned cranes and egrets also have to sleep at night. "

  Chen Ling was speechless and answered casually.

   "Oh, that's right.

   I didn't think of it for a while. "

  Yu Qi'an kept looking through a telescope.

  Chen Ling was too lazy to blame him. He planned to take pictures of this egret at every stage, and maybe he could be a folk ornithologist in the future. After the pictures were taken, he took his son to continue walking in the woods.

  The current situation of the red-crowned crane obviously cannot be approached by people.

  If they are made aware of danger, their instinct to protect their offspring will be greatly stimulated, and they may move overnight.

   Then the fun will be great.

  So Chen Ling didn't guard Yu Qi'an and kept watching here.

  Furthermore, a little milk boy of Ruirui's age obviously has no patience to nest in one place.

  He preferred Chen Ling to take him around the mountains and plains.

  All kinds of wild birds and small animals can be seen at any time in the mountains and forests.

  There are more grasshoppers, crickets, and grasshoppers this season, and the calls in the woods come and go, crisp and sweet.

  Fun things are everywhere, it's hard to see.

   After a while, the little guy had already caught several big, fat grasshoppers. With his little head up, he smiled and showed off to Chen Ling.

   Catching grasshoppers for a while, and chasing squirrels in trees for a while, Chen Ling followed him with two dogs, having a great time.

  However, there are many mosquitoes in the grass this season.

   Fortunately, Chen Ling and his son, and Hei Wa's two dogs, both wore insect repellents.

   Chen Ling and his son are sachets, and Hei Wa is the medicinal powder that Wang Susu applied to them. When applied to their hair, the smell lasts for a day.

  Erhei and his puppies also have it.

  Otherwise, I run up and down the mountain every day, or play with Ruirui, or patrol the mountain to guard the chickens and ducks, or follow the sheep.

  Being bitten by mosquitoes is a very annoying thing.

  It doesn't.

  Yu Qi'an, who was squatting there with a telescope watching the red-crowned cranes, gradually lost his hold.

  In just ten minutes or so, his body was covered in big bumps from bites, itching him so much that he stomped his feet like a monkey on a vault.

  "Wealthy, rich, let's go, take your baby home quickly, there are so many mosquitoes on this mountain.

  I have to hurry to your house and apply some toilet water. "

  He said that he hurried to Chen Ling and his son.

   "Hey, no, why don't you father and son get bitten by mosquitoes?"

   "Hahaha, our father and son are good people, we don't attract mosquitoes."

   Chen Ling was overjoyed when he saw the funny look on his face and arms with a bunch of bites.

   "Come on, I don't know you yet? You must have something good to hide.

   Did you bring some mosquito repellent powder or toilet water?

  Take it out and give it to me. "

   Seeing his miserable appearance, Chen Ling stopped teasing him.

In addition, my son was playing happily, so he obviously didn't want to go home at this time, so I gave him my sachet, then went around, found some mint, rubbed it, and gave him those mosquito bags Put it on.

   These things work as soon as they are applied, which is better than toilet water.

  Yu Qi'an soon forgot the pain of being bitten by mosquitoes.

  Following Chen Ling and his son out of the forest where the egrets were located, they started wandering around the mountains and plains.

   This old boy became more playful, more addicted than Rui Rui, and wanted any beautiful bird he saw, from time to time he yelled for Chen Ling to help him catch it back.

   For a moment, Chen Ling had the illusion that he was taking his two sons out to play.

  Since there have been jackals in the mountains.

   Except for looking for cicada shells in groups and picking mushrooms, the villagers basically don't come to the mountains.

  Usually just circle around the periphery.

  In addition to this time, it is the breeding season for most wild animals.

  So as soon as we went deep, all kinds of wild things from that guy kept coming out.

  Squirrels, mountain foxes, merles that burrow into bushes and eat berries.

   I also encountered a herd of deer drinking water by the river in the distance.

  I also saw the mother and son of the mountain donkey walking along the cliff on the opposite hillside.

on the ground.

  I saw the Fox Cave, the Badger Cave, and the Mountain Fox Cave.

   Each one is very hidden.

   But Heiwa Xiaojin followed, and couldn't hide from their search. As long as they were nearby, they were all searched out.

  Then the two guys, with Rui Rui, peed in front of various openings.

  The brat knew he was doing something bad, so he squealed happily while urinating.

  In short, in his opinion, going out to play with his father is much more fun than following his mother and grandma.

  From North Mountain to West Mountain.

   Recently, there are very few cicada shells on the outer mountains.

  Let Zhao Yubao take a group of little dolls in the village and basically clean them up.

  Although there are new cicada monkeys that appear every day, there are few people looking for them recently. There are only a few sporadic ones on the trees and grass leaves.

   Now it’s all about picking mushrooms in the mountains.

  Chen Ling and the others met two groups of people picking mushrooms in Xishan.

  First, Wang Wenchao, the youngest son of the donkey family, and his team.

   Later, they met Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng, and Wang Qingwen and his wife followed.

  Now they are hiding this, taking advantage of the fact that most of the villagers in the village don't know.

  Wang Lixian got up early every day and went into the mountains.

  Since knowing that this thing can really sell for money.

  Wang Lixian bought a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms in these three or four days, and sent the little sheep to the city again.

   He also worked from dawn to dusk, and called on a few brothers in the family to make up a car.

   This is quick money.

   If you don’t rush to do it, you will have no chance in the future.

   Originally, he wanted to wait for Chen Ling and the others to come back.

   Wait left and right and wait.

   Went to Chen Ling's house several times to look for it.

  Later, Wang Cunye told them to hurry up, don't wait for Chen Ling, and they won't come back on time.

  Wang Lixian also knows this truth.

  Afterwards, Zhang Qiaoling and the others were not busy making pickles and chili sauce, but just searched wild vegetables and mushrooms all over the mountains and plains.

   Knowing that Chen Ling had gone home today, they called Chen Ling's family in the morning.

   In the end, Wang Qingwen and his wife went.

  Wang Cunye was also in charge of herding sheep.

   Otherwise, if Ruirui didn't see Chen Ling pestering Chen Ling all the time today, Chen Ling would definitely not be able to work today.

  …

   "Fugui, come quickly, come quickly!

  His grandma's, the little lamb I just bought, seems to be sick.

  It rained and sneezed two days ago.

   I haven’t eaten or drank for the past two days, and your father-in-law is telling me that the lamb’s illness is incurable, so it needs to be taken to the village epidemic prevention station for an injection.

  Otherwise, they cannot be saved.

  It worried me to death. "

  Just walked down the mountain, when passing by the threshing field, I happened to meet two old men, Wang Cunye and Zhao Yubao, herding sheep.

   "Oh, Uncle Zhao, it seems that those cicada shells of yours sold for a lot of money, and you bought so many lambs all at once.

  Come on, let me see, which lamb is sick? "

  Chen Ling walked up to him.

  Looking at the two old men of Zhao Yubao holding four or five lambs by their side, some black and some white, they are quite complete.

"These are not my things.

   This is your old Uncle Zhong’s.

  My few dogs were kept in school.

   If they are infected with a disease, they are brought out for fear of infecting other sheep. "

  Zhao Yubao waved his hand, his usual smile was no longer on his face, he seemed very worried about those little lambs.

   "Fugui, do you want to go over with me to have a look?

  I asked a few people in the village, and I went to the mountains yesterday to get some herbs.

   But the sheep is still not very effective after eating.

   How much fodder I could eat yesterday, but today I don’t want to eat anything, and I don’t want to walk around anymore. I still carried it to school in the morning. "

   "Okay, then I'll go and have a look."

  When Chen Ling heard that this was a bit serious, he said a few words to the old man, and handed over the tired brat to the old man to take home.

  He took Yu Qi'an and rushed to the school with Wang Lixian and the others.

  It’s summer vacation now, and there’s no one in school.

  The grass inside is very lush, which is a good place to herd sheep.

   But usually no one comes over.

  Zhao Yubao’s sheep were not kept outside to graze, but locked in an abandoned room next to the school toilet.

  After the past.

  He found that Zhao Yubao's lambs were already seriously ill.

  Wang Cunye has seen it before.

  The old man can simply dispense some medicine, but he is not a veterinarian after all.

   Especially these little lambs are very delicate.

   People who don't often raise sheep can't see it at all.

   "He's seriously ill, I don't think it's too late to go to the countryside.

  I don't have any vaccines here. "

   Chen Ling looked at these little lambs who were obviously too loose, and the sheep manure was not even a particle.

   And listless, not even barking.

  Generally, lively and healthy lambs will bleat non-stop when they first arrive in a strange place or meet a stranger.

  This call reflects his health to a certain extent.

   "Ah? Very serious? Did I buy a sick sheep, or why did it happen just a few days after I bought it?"

  Zhao Yubao's face was ugly, and he felt that he was cheated.

  He worked so hard to find money to buy lambs in exchange for cicada shells, and if he finally bought a sick sheep, thinking about this made him feel a little uncomfortable.

   "Sick sheep, then you have to go to them to pay for it."

  When Yu Qian heard this, he immediately said: "Mr. Zhao, do you know where the sheep seller is?"

   Zhao Yubao just wanted to say something.

  Chen Ling waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this first, these little lambs may not necessarily be sick. The goats are delicate and delicate, and they may get sick if they get in the way."

  Among the little lambs, the lambs are tough and not easy to get sick.

  Kids are more delicate than lambs.

  This is the same as Little Milkman.

  When you are sick, you can't use medicine blindly.

   Delicate kids can't stand some vaccines.

  Sometimes, when I could still breathe for two days, I was given a medicine injection and died within half a day.

   "This is a cold and fever."

  Chen Ling walked up to a few lambs and knelt down, stretched out his hands to touch them, and felt that they were very hot.

  The normal body temperature of sheep is higher than that of humans, and that of lambs is higher, at about 39 degrees.

  After the body temperature exceeds this temperature, a dry veterinarian can touch it.

   "How about this, if you don't have time to go to the village, just get some medicine for people in the village, go to Brother Guoping's house and ask him to take the medicine according to the dose of a one or two-year-old baby, come back and feed it."

  Chen Ling sighed, "Uncle Zhao, go grab the medicine, and I'll make some medicine for the sheep when I go back, but mine is just a starting point, and you have to grab the medicine to cure the disease. Anyway, give it a try."

   "OK OK OK."

   Seeing that Chen Ling was in trouble, Zhao Yubao immediately knew that this little lamb was really seriously ill.

  Chen Ling told him to spread some hay for the sheep and keep warm at night, and then took Yu Qi'an back.

  At noon, Yu Qi'an and the two had dinner at the farm.

   After lunch, I went back to the county to get a pigeon whistle for Chen Ling, and then decided to stay at Chen Ling's house for a few days.

  Chen Ling sent the prepared medicine to Zhao Yubao in the afternoon. Together with the injection given by Chen Guoping, each sheep was fed one-third of the amount, and he dared not feed more.

   A few sheep tossed for half an afternoon.

   Troubling Chen Ling back and forth, Zhao Yubao felt very sorry, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine if you can't save your life. Let's take your farm and roast it."

"It's not, Uncle Zhao, it's not." Chen Ling understood his feelings. When he was a child, the puppy at home couldn't be rescued. He was like this. Sometimes he was anxious, watching the puppy that was alive and kicking suddenly become sluggish, and It never gets better, and it is inevitable that there will be thoughts of self-destruction in my heart.

   Fortunately, Chen Ling's method worked.

  The little lambs got better that night.

   Started bleating and begging people for water.

  Because it started to rain just after dark that night, Zhao Yubao stayed by the school and found that the old man was overjoyed by this change.

   Immediately wrote down a note for Chen Ling in his small notebook, and decided to write an article to praise him in the future.

  He asked many people in the past two days, and today he asked Chen Guoping and the others. He knew that this little lamb was ill and could not be cured.

  I also know that this delicate little guy gets sick quickly and gets better slowly.

  But he didn't want to, so he let Chen Ling take a look, and he got better within half a day, which surprised him.

   After feeding the lamb and cleaning up the excrement, he ran to the farm wearing a raincoat and asked Chen Ling what to do next.

   At this time, Chen Ling's family and Yu Qi'an had just returned from watching 'Magpie Bridge' outside.

  This ‘Magpie Bridge’ is really a spectacle formed by a large group of magpies flying in the sky.

  When Zhao Yubao came, there was a magpie in the yard confronting the bald man as if going crazy.

  But it didn't last long, and the second bald man drove into the rain, screaming and fleeing in a panic.

   "What's wrong? The kite is catching magpies to eat?"

  Zhao Yubao was taken aback when he saw this scene.

   "No, it's Qixi Festival today, how could Erbald be able to catch magpies. It was just before it rained, and these magpies built a 'magpie bridge' on it."

   Chen Ling said with a smile.

   It is said to be a magpie bridge, but in fact it is a battle between the egrets and the magpies.

   These magpies may not be looked down upon, but they are real local snakes. Naturally, they can't see the egrets, a group of powerful outsiders who occupy land and grab food as soon as they arrive.

  So I don’t know what’s going on today. While the egrets were returning to their nests, groups of magpies flew over from all directions and launched a fierce attack on the egrets.

  The battle scared away the few eagles that were hovering nearby waiting to hunt.

  The situation is such a situation.

   But it’s just a way of saying it, on Qixi Festival, there are so many magpies in the sky, it’s a good occasion to say it’s a “magpie bridge”.
