MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-v2 Chapter 441 Jiaolong
Chen Ling thought so too, but he ignored that the fish in his family were rather savage.
Think about the small miscellaneous fish that I caught when I was a child. On rainy days, I could jump out of the tank when it was half full of water.
These are ordinary fish, and they will jump out randomly when it rains heavily, and they jump extremely high, not to mention these fish that have been nourished by spiritual water.
Take out two chicken hoods from the woodshed.
Meet Zhou Weijun and they came out of the kitchen after breakfast.
Seeing Chen Ling holding this strange bamboo tool, he came to him: "Is this used for raising silkworms?"
"No, the one you are talking about is a silkworm plaque, which is a round plaque made of bamboo strips or reeds. This is a chicken cover, covering chickens."
Speaking of chicken covers, most people may not know what they are. To put it bluntly, they are used for raising chickens in the countryside.
This thing is woven with bamboo strips, and its shape is a bit like a big bell in a temple, with an empty hole at the top.
After the hen brings the chicks home in the evening, buckle them inside this thing, and cover it with heavy objects such as bricks or slates to make it firm and prevent wild things from stealing the chicks.
Chen Ling's family basically never prepared this thing before.
Usually use baskets, water tanks, or cover them with a layer of barbed wire.
In other words, Wang Lixian, Chen Dazhi and the others saw that Chen Ling's method was too shabby. The old hen hugged the nest and used a water tank to isolate people. Really... This is why Chen Ling dared to do this. Others might have to toss the chickens and ducks to death. .
Brought two chicken covers from the village to Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan for them to use.
"Huh? Do chicks come out and run around in the rain?"
Zhou Weijun and the others were a little confused. They saw the spectacular scene of those chickens and ducks rushing back to their nests when it rained yesterday.
All the good guys flapped their wings and flew directly down from the hillside, and the chicks and ducklings couldn't wait to get into their nests, with chicken feathers dancing everywhere.
This rainy day, they are all hiding in their dens, showing no sign of wanting to run around.
"No, I want to catch fish in the front yard."
Chen Ling smiled and explained a few words. The beard cage is too small to be inconspicuous in the middle of the canal. Seeing that the way was blocked, the upper water fish jumped very high and refused to follow the original route. Drill into the beard cage.
If you want to find something bigger than a whisker cage to collect fish, it is safer to put a chicken cover on it.
Sure enough, when Chen Ling blocked the chicken cover at the intersection of the two canals and the lotus pond, the effect was soon displayed.
Even though there were high jumping fish, there were not many of them. Most of them jumped into the chicken cage and were trapped in it and couldn’t get out.
It didn't take long to harvest more than half of the barrel of fish.
During the period, the two little guys, Yaya and Ruirui, thought that there were few grass snails crawling into the house, so they carried a small bucket to the grass outside to look for them.
Wang Zhenzhen and his team watched the silkworms spin silk for a while, and then went out to pick up grass snails.
This grass snail is very common in the fields.
They like to eat crops and eat vegetable leaves... Strictly speaking, they can be regarded as a kind of pest.
Once it rains, they will climb to high places one after another to avoid the rain. They are all on the trunks and tall grass blades.
When Chen Ling was a child, he once caught eight grass snails on a leaf in the corn field, all of them were quite big. Little Chen Ling was excited for a while, showing off to everyone.
I still remember You Xin.
…
"What kind of snail is this? It grows so big, and its head is too scary."
After catching fish in their yard, they also went out to join in the fun. When they went outside, they saw that the fruit trees were covered with grass snails, densely packed, there could be twenty or thirty of them, some high and some low crawling into a string. .
It doesn’t matter if there are too many.
The main reason is that it is too big.
The biggest ones are almost as big as eggs.
And the bigger the climb the higher.
The little dolls had to poke down with bamboo poles.
The snail crackled and fell, carrying the rain on the leaves.
Ruirui giggled and picked up the grass with Yaya so hard that they didn't care if they got muddy all over their bodies.
"Uncle Zhao, you are so stupid, these are ordinary grass snails."
Seeing the two old men rushing to pick up snails with Ruirui, Wang Zhenzhen glanced at them with his lips curled up, "But these big ones are usually hidden from sight, and they all come out when it rains. "
"It turned out to be like this, we have never seen it before."
The two old men said with a smile.
Zhou Weijun and the others were also surprised to pick up a few in their hands, observing curiously.
Such a big grass snail, Chen Ling held it in his hand and looked at it, feeling a little dumbfounded. It's not like there are such big grass snails, he has seen them before, but there won't be so many of them all at once.
It seems that regardless of the number or size, these snails are also exposed to the light of the environment here in the farm, which is very good for their growth.
"Wow, there are more grass snails on this tree, I think there are a hundred."
"You are really a pig, you are too old to know how to count. There are not even fifty of these, so there are only one hundred."
"Hmph, make fun of me if you have the ability, don't rob me if you have the ability... Eh? What is that? Wow, the fish at Uncle Fugui's house has started to jump around again, and it's all over the straw pile."
"There are fish on the straw stack?"
"I'll go, there really are."
When everyone heard the words, they hurried over to have a look, only to see that there were fishes of all sizes on the wet stack of wheat straw.
These stacks of wheat straw were put here after the wheat was harvested. Chen Ling originally wanted to make it look better, make it look like a castle, and attract some birds to live there.
Pheasants, wild ducks, waterfowl, etc. can also drill in to lay eggs.
Unexpectedly, I didn’t do anything. After it rained, so many fish jumped on it.
This kind of scene made everyone novelty and excited. They rolled up their sleeves, and without opening their umbrellas, they circled around the straw piles to find fish.
Some are looking for fish, some are catching snails, all adults and children are at a loss, laughing, and from time to time, they will startle the birds in the bird nests on the trees, and have fun in the clattering rain Extremely.
Lunch, no surprises, all kinds of fish are the main dishes, fried, fried, stewed...
Grass snails are also made in a pot according to the method of snails, and the taste is quite good.
Being unable to go out on a rainy day is nothing more than staying at home thinking about all kinds of food, which is also a rare enjoyment.
Apart from the original guests today, even the children, Chen Ling, did not let go.
The busy farming holiday is coming to an end, give them a good meal to satisfy their cravings.
The adults also knew that Chen Ling was very kind to the children, and no one came to call for help at noon, so they felt at ease with Chen Ling. Besides, there were guests at home, so they were too embarrassed to disturb them when it was raining.
…
The rain stopped in the evening.
After the rain, the starry sky on the field is very beautiful, but tonight is not a good time to appreciate the stars, because there is not a single star in the sky, and there is only a bright moon in the clear blue sky.
The big moon hangs brightly in the sky, and everything that the eyes can see is covered with a layer of silver frost. It feels like it’s August 15th. The moon is shining brightly, shining on the roadside Every tree can cast its shadow.
With a group of big, fat and sturdy dogs, Chen Ling walked on the field path with his hands behind his back.
In the distance, the laughter of the three old men, Wang Cunye and Zhao Yubao, could still be heard. Zhao Yubao became more poetic after drinking some wine today, and chanted loudly: "What night is there no moon? What night is there no bamboo and cypress? But few idlers like My three ears."
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, extremely intoxicating. Go up the mountain, go up the mountain! Save karma and lead the way!"
"Wait a minute, the mountain road is slippery after the rain, let's change our shoes first, and take care of everything..."
Chen Ling smiled slightly when he heard this, and signaled to the Erhei who were having fun in the field: "We are going up the mountain, so follow along."
Erhei was taken aback for a moment, then barked a few times, and ran away with a group of puppies.
As for Heiwa Xiaojin, she is naturally taking care of the farm, and by the way, she is standing next to Ruirui to help take care of the baby.
The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful.
The scenery under the moonlight is also extremely beautiful.
In the field, there is a wheat field with only a piece of stubble left after harvesting the wheat, and there is also a grass **** full of green grass and green trees. The grass leaves are crystal clear in the moonlight, and there are frogs in the grass. There were screams.
If you stand on the **** and look at it, the distant mountains and forests are shrouded in mist after the rain, and the bright moonlight shines into it, like a dream.
Looking further south, the spacious river in Laohe Bend flows quietly, sparkling, and under the bright moonlight, the watermelons in the nearby melon fields seem to be clearly visible, making people feel like they are in a dream.
Chen Ling came out alone because he wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to go to the reservoir to call out Suantou, and sit on the back of the Suantou turtle to cruise around.
Although garlic has spiritual intelligence, it needs company like a baby.
Zhou Weijun and the others were happy today, accidentally drank too much, and fell asleep early.
The night was cool after the rain, and none of the villagers came out to hang out.
There were only three or two dogs barking in the village, which seemed extremely quiet.
Chen Ling admired the countryside scenery under the moonlight all the way, his emotions gradually eased, and he came to the edge of the reservoir before he knew it.
The stone statue of the tortoise here seems to be covered with a layer of silver gauze under the moonlight, mysterious and beautiful.
Chen Ling raised his head and took a look, then came to the edge of the water, stretched out his hand and gently patted the water surface.
Clatter—
The surface of the water was tumbling, and there were huge ripples in circles. Huge mysterious creatures emerged from the water, like black islands. This was a very shocking scene.
Unfortunately, no one saw it.
Chen Ling smiled and waved at them.
I saw that the garlic was getting bigger and bigger, and the back was getting wider and wider, and it was quickly approaching the shore.
Chen Ling could even see its gloomy eyes, full of excitement and intimacy.
Chen Ling stepped onto its broad back, patted its head and said, "Gantou is doing well, let's go to Jinshui River first, I'll take you out for a fun trip today."
Suantou was even more excited. He turned around and swayed through the waves, and carried Chen Ling to swim deep into the reservoir. Behind him was a silent army of old turtles. .
After a while, there was a cry in the sky, and a magnificent yellow-clawed falcon flew around Chen Ling's head against the night wind.
It made him feel at ease for a moment, and his spirits reached the extreme.
"What kind of dog king? If you want to say king, I must be the beast king. Whoever calls me dog king in the future will have to hit the glass of his house with a slingshot."
This night, Chen Ling drove the old turtle to guard the water, from the reservoir to the Jinshui River, from the Jinshui River to the Nansha River, and then from the Nansha River to the Dumb River and Dumb Lake...
Erbald, a falcon with night vision, also accompanied him all the way.
It was really fun and enjoyable.
Let him irresistibly dream of swimming in the Yangtze River and riding the waves in the sea.
But this dream is not finished yet...
Just as they returned the same way and reached the reservoir, Suantou suddenly stopped, and the husbands and turtles behind him all stopped, looking forward nervously.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ling was awakened from his beautiful fantasy, and looked at Suantou suspiciously.
After seeing the abnormality of Garlic and the others, they also took advantage of the situation and looked around.
The next moment, on the wide water surface thirty or forty meters away, there was a sudden loud sound of water.
A huge and terrifying vortex appeared.
A blue and black back seems to be covered with hard armor, and there is a long serrated dorsal fin in the center of the back, like the back of a dragon, it is shocking as soon as it appears.
Chen Ling was also taken aback when he saw this scene.
Fortunately, he soon came back to his senses. He knew that this was not the back of the dragon, and there would be no dragon at the bottom of the water.
This thing is still an old enemy I met before.
I don’t know if it’s a sturgeon or a sturgeon. They came here by accident and grew up quietly.
It goes without saying that it must have lived here before garlic.
He put garlic and them in the reservoir to live, and now they occupy part of its territory, and they are real uninvited guests to it.
"Damn, I haven't seen this old enemy for a year, and he has grown a lot. I don't remember being so vicious last year."
Chen Ling stood up from the back of the turtle, his eyes were fixed on the wonderful scene in front of him, and his fists were already tightly clenched subconsciously.
It is rare to encounter a big fish that has grown to such a size again.
It is really not reconciled not to be included in the bag.
And since he has such a treasure as the cave, how could he miss it?
He was already thinking about how to get this big guy into the cave, so he had to train him.
But at this moment, the waves on the water surface rose again, with a bang, the water surface shook and turbulent, and it was completely trivial to knock down a few fishing boats with such intensity.
After this movement, within sight, the strange fish disappeared from the surface of the water, but there was an undercurrent surging violently under the water, turbulent and churning, like thunder rolling, and the momentum was astonishing.
Needless to say, this scene is definitely coming straight for them.
