My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 76 Sick Bird

   There is no wind and no moon at night, it is pitch black, and there is no light at all.

  Chen Ling followed Huang Pizi, thinking that he hadn't seen Little Fatty show his face these days, maybe he was going to have a baby.

   Thinking like this, he followed Xiao Huang and walked to a small alley in the north of the village.

   Chen Ling was surprised when he saw Xiao Huang running into the depths of the alley in two steps.

   "So you two live here? This place is safe!"

  This alley is also quite famous in Chenwangzhuang. In the 1980s, people died. They were the ones whose heads were chopped off and rolled all over the floor. Therefore, people with little courage would not dare to come at night.

  There are timid women who pass by, but they have to say a few words or spit a few saliva before walking in a hurry.

  This alley is extremely narrow and uninhabited for more than ten years. In the dark night, it is somewhat eerie.

  Chen Ling stepped on the weeds and rubble all over the floor to the depths of the alley, and a small yard overgrown with weeds and covered with green vines appeared in front of him.

   This is a typical mountain village earthen yard, among the thick and dense green vines, you can vaguely see the narrow gatehouse at the entrance of the yard, but unfortunately it is also dilapidated.

  Xiao Huang straightened up and stood in front of the gatehouse, his two front paws were randomly gesturing, and he was screaming.

  Chen Ling couldn't understand the animal language, and he didn't know what it wanted to express.

   said to it: "Where do you want to take me, just lead the way in front of you."

  Xiao Huang heard this, a humanized helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he ran into the yard dexterously.

   just stopped before he went very far, turned around and yelled at Chen Ling again.

  Chen Ling had just opened the dense vines wrapped around the door and walked in, and it was strange to see this.

   walked over in two or three steps, and took a look at the weeds. It turned out that the bluestone slab between the grass was covered with scorpions.

   At the waist-high roots of wormwood, he even saw a large plump female scorpion, just in the gap of the bluestone slab, with her tail cocked, and a dense number of small scorpions lying on her back, white and tender.

   It's just that when he wanted to look again, the female scorpion had already ducked alertly and retracted into the gap.

  Chen Ling touched Xiao Huang's head, only to realize that it was warning him just now.

   Then just bypass this side and continue to follow Xiao Huang.

  Children who grew up in the countryside know that the long grass never goes away, because there are poisonous insects such as snakes or scorpions, and if they are not careful, they will suffer.

  Some little dolls are bitten by poisonous insects and do not tell their parents in time, for fear of being scolded and even life-threatening.

  This yard is quite long from north to south, but the two old houses on the north side are in disrepair and submerged in the weeds.

   And all the doors and windows were gone, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

  Chen Ling picked up a branch, tangled the spider web at the door, and followed Xiao Huang into the house.

   As soon as he entered the room, a fat yellow-skinned man appeared, squinting and sniffing and rubbing at Chen Ling's feet, looking very intimate.

   "Huh? Little Fatty, you haven't given birth yet?"

   "Why did Xiao Huang call me here?"

  Chen Ling was very surprised when he saw Xiaopang's belly getting fat again.

   He thought Xiao Huang called him over to share the joy of being a father.

  I didn't expect it to be.

   When Xiao Huang heard his words, he suddenly straightened up and pointed to a corner of the room.

  Chen Ling looked over there, a pair of green eyes suddenly broke into his line of sight, and his heart skipped a beat.

   hurriedly flashed over with a flashlight, only to find that it was a falcon.

  This falcon is not too small, but at this moment its body was entangled by a thick cauliflower pit viper, and when Chen Ling flashed it with a flashlight, it let out a weak and hoarse cry.

  The cauliflower pit viper is also called the cauliflower iron head. It has black and yellow stripes all over its body. It is not the same as the cauliflower snake. It is a poisonous snake.

   is also an extremely common type of poisonous snake in the local mountains, and can often be seen in the grass, cultivated fields or bushes.

When Chen Ling was wondering how this hawk was entangled by the cauliflower scorpion, Xiao Huang suddenly ran not far from the hawk, glanced at Chen Ling, and then made a fierce look at the cauliflower and hawk, and barked his teeth. .

   It looks like a 'dog fighting against people'.

   "You asked me to come here because you want me to take them away?"

  Chen Ling couldn't help smiling when he saw this, and walked over to ask.

   After all, Fatty is about to give birth, and it is the instinct and nature of all animals to eliminate threats around him.

  Xiao Huang heard this, and sure enough, he screamed excitedly around Chen Ling's feet, and then his two front paws made random gestures, as if he was accusing something.

   This guy, spirituality is getting stronger every day.

   However, it still does not dare to approach the cauliflower pit victor and the eagle falcon, neither of which can be afforded by it.

  If the snake is okay, this cauliflower pit viper that can control the eagle is obviously not good.

   Seeing this, Chen Ling said nothing, took out a hatchet from the cave, and walked over.

As soon as    approached, the cauliflower vicious hissed and made a threatening and warning sound.

   After being pinched by Chen Ling three or two times, he continued to struggle, but after a few struggles, he was pulled with arrogant force by Chen Ling, and he fell to the ground and didn't move.

   Afraid that it would slow down, Chen Ling chopped off its head with a hatchet.

   Xiao Huang and Xiao Pang dared to step forward.

  Chen Ling finally saw the condition of the eagle and falcon. The feathers were gray-brown, skinny, and dirty, as if it was about to die.

   After taking a closer look, he frowned: "Why is it still caught by the beast clip?"

  This hawk was caught by a rusty, mud-stained trap, no wonder it was restrained by a cauliflower pit viper.

   "This guy, where did it get caught, and why did it get into the old house?"

  Chen Ling was wondering if someone had put a clip in the yard, when Xiao Huang pointed at Eagle Falcon's stomach for him to see.

  Chen Ling squatted down with full of doubts, and suddenly a rancid smell penetrated into his nostrils.

   Only then did he discover that there was an unhealed old wound on the falcon's stomach. The wound was festering and rotten, and there were many maggots crawling.

   No wonder he became so thin, it turns out that there are injuries on his body that are hard to heal.

   Saving the life of an eagle is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

   Seeing his sad and helpless appearance, Chen Ling took down the trap.

   Then he fetched some stream water from the cave and fed the falcons.

  This hawk was actually quite afraid of him, his eyes were always wary, and he didn't seem to catch a cold on the Dongtian Stream, and kept hoarsely chirping to avoid it.

   But now this half-dead appearance, he just struggled a few times before he stopped moving and let Chen Ling act.

   After feeding the Dongtian Stream, the silly bird seemed to be in better spirits. Chen Ling used a small branch to push the maggots from the wound in his stomach to the ground one by one, and crushed them to death with his feet.

   "Okay, do you think I'll take it away or keep it?"

   "Actually, don't worry. This eagle is different from that snake. If I don't save it, it won't live for a few days, and it will not pose a threat to you at all."

  Chen Ling said to the two yellow-skinned children who were watching attentively at him treating the eagle falcon.

  Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then straightened up and gave Chen Ling a bow, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

   seems to be saying that my wife is about to give birth, please take it away.

  Chen Ling laughed when he saw it, touched the little heads of the two yellow-skinned children, and instructed Xiao Chuan to take care of the baby, and then walked out with one leg of the eagle falcon.

When    came out of the alley, Xiao Huang also came out to see him off.

   "This guy, if you let other people in the village see this scene, you'll probably be scared to death."

  Chen Ling shook his head and smiled.

   This yard used to be the home of a hunter in the village. The hunter's wife was paralyzed in bed, and the hunter had been taking care of it for nearly ten years with excrement and urine.

   Later, when there was a famine, everyone could not have enough to eat, and even if the hunters went hunting in the mountains on weekdays, they could not support their families.

   One night, he chopped off the wife's head with a kitchen knife.

  Unfortunately, someone came to the door that night. As a result, the hunter was startled, and in a panic, the mother-in-law's head rolled all over the floor.

   Later, the hunter ran away overnight, and this alley became an ominous place in the village.

   This guy is paired with a yellow skin and sent out at midnight. If people see it, they don't know what to be scared of.

   "But there are poisonous snakes and scorpions there, and most people really should keep them away."

   Then thinking about the tragedy of the Orion family, he couldn't help but sigh again: "It is said that there is no dutiful son in front of the bed for a long time, let alone a husband and wife?"

  Chen Ling was thinking wildly. When he was about to get home, he suddenly saw a figure sneaking out of the door opposite his house.

   Taking a closer look, it was actually Chen Erzhu.

   There was another person behind, with disheveled hair, who sent Chen Erzhu out the door. It was Qin Dongmei's mother-in-law.

   "Good guy, Chunyuan raises his little one outside, and this woman is not bad. She wears a green hat for him at home..."

   When Chen Ling was amazed in his heart, he hurriedly hid in the dark corner of the wall and quietly watched this scene.
