MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-v2 Chapter 442 windmill

  Chapter 442 Jujiu

  Chen Ling could even see a huge black shadow under the water approaching quickly, violently swirling water streams, like a big shark coming fiercely from the water.

  The ferocious momentum made Chen Ling's face change in fright.

   "Fuck, I haven't seen you in a year, has it become so fierce?"

  He even felt that when he saw this strange fish for the first time, it was about six or seven meters long. Now, after a year, it has reached nearly ten meters, and its body is thicker than a bucket.

   As the saying goes: no loss of physical strength.

  A strange fish with such a huge body and such a fierce force is still in the waters it is familiar with.

  If this strange fish were to hit it once, a steamboat would have to be knocked over by it, let alone a person.

  So in the face of such a ferocious approach, Chen Ling had a hole in the sky and did not dare to trust him.

  The current situation.

   It's like meeting a ferocious tiger pounced on him in the mountains.

  That guy is not at the same level as wild boars, wild wolves, leopards, etc.

  When Chen Ling encountered a herd of wild boars in the mountains, he dared to drive them away, rush into the herd of wild boars, and take them into the cave.

   But when you meet a tiger, you can't do it like facing a wild boar.

  How fierce is the tiger?

simply put.

   Bite a car tire with one bite, and shatter tempered glass with a slap. For an adult tiger, it is a piece of cake...

   This is still a normal state, not a violent state of being irritated.

   And this strange fish is much bigger than the tiger.

  A huge monster close to ten meters.

   Not only is it bigger, but it’s still on water, so people’s reactions are different from those on the ground.

  The psychological pressure it brings to people is greater than encountering a tiger in the mountains.

  Chen Ling was even afraid that it would hit the garlic head so violently.

  So in the blink of an eye, he entered the cave together with garlic, man and turtle.

  As for the other husbands, time is urgent and I can't take care of them for the time being.

  It's too late to say it, but it's too soon.

   Just after Chen Ling hid in the cave with one turtle and one person, the next moment, a hideous and huge strange fish rushed out from under the surface of the water, splashing countless water.

  This strange fish is dressed in bluish-black bony armor, and on its back is a long, bony bony fin like a dagger, extending from the back of the head to the tail fin.

  In addition to the conspicuous bony dorsal fin in the middle of the back, there are two shallow bony small fins on both sides.

   Make it look like an ancient creature like a dinosaur from the outside.

  It looks weird, exuding an extremely primitive and ancient atmosphere.

  But if ordinary people who don’t know dinosaurs and other ancient creatures see it, they will definitely be treated as a big water monster without discussion.

  At this time, it rushed out of the water, and the target at the original position suddenly disappeared, making it stunned for a moment in great doubt, and then became more manic, shaking its head and tail, stirring up a bigger vortex.

   Directly kill the big male turtle staying in place.

  In a short while, these male turtles were killed and disabled, and they fled in all directions.

  …

  Chen Ling counted the time, waited for about half a minute, and came out of the cave again with Suantou, and saw scarlet blood rippling all around.

   "Sure enough, it's getting more and more vicious. When we met before, we could still go back and forth. This time, the old turtles are no match at all."

   Fortunately, the carapaces of the big male turtles are also very thick and hard. After the garlic left, they escaped very quickly, and some fled in any direction. Although some suffered serious injuries, they were not life-threatening.

  Chen Ling heaved a sigh of relief, stepped on Suantou's back, held the semi-automatic spear brought to him by Bobcat, and had a machete on his waist, looking around for any traces of the strange fish.

  I want to use the cave to find an opportunity to make a sneak attack on it.

  However, after waiting and waiting, all the big male turtles were found and taken back to the cave, but there was no trace of the strange fish.

  It comes suddenly and violently, and goes away quietly.

   Helpless, Chen Ling secretly guessed in his heart: "The last time I encountered this strange fish appeared, it seemed to be when I was swimming around in the nearby river with garlic.

   Could it be that I was so angry because I passed by here with garlic and broke into its territory? "

  Thinking about it, it's really possible. Even ricefield eels have egg-protecting behaviors. This kind of creature that has lived for decades is definitely not easy to mess with.

   Even so, it seems to be very cautious after being able to live for so long.

   It seems that driving the uninvited guests out of the territory is enough, and it doesn't have to kill those who break into its territory.

  If you think about it this way, it’s kind of contradictory.

   "It's only three things, let it run away like this twice, how can this work? It seems that I have to be fully prepared next time..."

   "Well, we can make a strong and large net."

  "When it appears, lure it into the net. As long as the net is caught and lasts for a few seconds, I can put it into the cave together with the fish and the net."

  Chen Ling thought for a while, and this method was indeed feasible, so he kept the preparation of the big net in mind, asked Suantou to put him on the east bank of the reservoir, and simply dealt with the injured male turtle.

   Then he took the second bald man who had been circling in the sky and followed him back to the farm.

  …

   After the rain stopped, it didn't rain again the next day, and the weather was fine.

   "Although there are various bad things about the rain, at least it can make people sleep well.

  After the rain stopped, the bird kept singing from night to morning, 'boom boom', 'boom boom', so loud that people couldn't sleep even if they wanted to sleep in. "

  In the morning, Wang Siyi with disheveled hair came to the kitchen with a yawn.

  Wang Susu was feeding Ruirui steamed eggs, and she raised her head and smiled at her: "They are crakes. At this time, they just keep barking, from day to night, without stopping for a moment."

   "Huh? Aren't they tired of barking?"

  Wang Siyi sat down by the door of the kitchen, brushed her hair, and watched the family of three eating.

  Chen Ling gnawed on the steamed buns with pickles, and said with a smile, "Frogs also cry day and night. Do you think frogs are tired?"

  Wang Siyi was taken aback when she heard the words, and the frogs seemed to be croaking "croak, croak" at night.

   then said: "You shouldn't be tired, right?"

   "Well, it's really not tired, you know why not?"

   "Uh, I don't know, why is this?"

"Because, after it rains, the frogs will pair up and lay eggs. They are not idle and chattering non-stop. They are courting and looking for a suitable partner to mate with. The crake is also like this, so it is called a non-stop."

   These words are actually very common, but Wang Susu felt that it was not good to say it in front of a young girl like Wang Siyi.

   Then he complained in a low voice: "A Ling, you are really, Siyi is a girl, why don't you tell people everything."

  Wang Siyi's personality is carefree, and the atmosphere of Bay Island is much more open than that of the mainland at this time. It is not uncommon to see couples kissing in the street, but it may be shocking to see them in the mainland at this time.

  So she didn't think there was anything wrong, and quickly waved her hands and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, Brother Ling is actually quite serious, otherwise I don't know why they keep barking so much."

   "Hey, Si Yi is right, it's really serious, and I was interrupted by your sister-in-law before I even said the real serious part in the second half."

  Chen Ling raised an eyebrow at his young daughter-in-law.

  Wang Susu pouted and hit him with his hands. Ruirui followed suit, giggling, and followed her mother to reach out and hit him.

   "You two are bullying, right? Do you want me to be serious?"

   "Tell me, I'll see if it's serious or not."

  The way the two bickered made Wang Siyi envious for a while, and also looked forward to what Chen Ling would say next.

   "Ahem..."

  Chen Ling cleared his throat and asked, "Siyi, have you ever learned 'Guan Guan Jujiu, in the River Island' in Wandao?"

   "I have studied it, Chinese studies, how could I miss the Book of Songs."

   "Actually, the Guan Jujiu, and the Jujiu in it, is talking about the courtship of the corncracker, which is compared to the courtship of a man and a woman. Think about it, isn't the next sentence saying "a gentle lady, a gentleman is good"?"

  This statement made Wang Siyi stunned.

   "Ah? Isn't it? Is this Jujiu actually a crake? I remember when I was learning, I didn't seem to be talking about a crake. It was some kind of water bird. I forgot."

  Wang Susu also looked at him suspiciously, wondering if her husband was deliberately fooling people.

  Chen Ling smiled at them: "Actually, most of the things in the ancient texts are based on guesswork. I personally think it is reasonable, and if I can match it, that's fine. In many cases, there is no fixed way of saying it."

"For example, Guan Guan Jujiu, why do I say that this Jujiu is a crake. One is their courtship behavior, which corresponds to the poem, and the other is their cry. Listen to their calls, 'Boom, boom, boom' , "Boom, boom, boom" is so loud, the cry of "boom, boom" is the "Guanguan" in the poem.

  Guanguan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou, doesn’t it mean that the crakes on the riverbank are courting each other, and men and women are pursuing love. "

   "Ah! It's really ah! Really all can be matched!"

  Wang Siyi was stunned for a moment, after recollecting those lines, she gradually realized that it was the same as what Chen Ling said.

Then he was very surprised, staring carefully at Chen Ling's face, looking again and again, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "No wonder Teacher Zhao Yubao wants to accept you as an apprentice and a son again. Brother Ling, you know so much. The knowledge is definitely very deep, it is really a pity to be nested in a ravine."

   Chen Ling and his wife couldn't help bursting out laughing.

  Nothing else, it's just that they really heard too much.

   "By the way, sister-in-law, having said that, I'm curious, won't it affect you at all when you are resting at night?"

  Wang Susu smiled and said: "We sleep relatively deeply, and your Brother Ling never dreams, and you can fall asleep as soon as you touch the pillow."

   "Wow, I'm so envious."

  Wang Siyi widened her beautiful almond eyes, "Is Ruirui like this too?"

  Chen Ling curled his lips: "He must be the same, the brat is tired from playing during the day, and he doesn't wake up at night when he wets the bed."

  He and Wang Susu have been nourished by spiritual water for a long time, and it is easy to fall into deep sleep.

"However, compared to frogs, crakes are indeed too noisy...after dinner, ask your sister-in-law to make you some medicinal tea, or when you go to bed at night, I will prepare some medicinal wine for you to take a sip to sleep well , and keep healthy."

   "Okay, okay, I've heard from Mr. Zhao Yubao and the others that your medicinal wine and sister-in-law's pharmacy are very famous."

  Wang Siyi's eyes lit up, looking forward to it.

   "Let's have dinner here with your sister-in-law. I'll call Lao Zhou and the others to come over for dinner."

  Chen Ling walked out with his son in his arms, so that Wang Susu would not have to take care of this brat. Every time he finished his meal, he could eat it by himself.

  Zhou Weijun and Ding Haidong are rushing back today.

  The main reason is that Ding Haidong can't delay any longer.

  After breakfast, he left in a hurry. Before Ding Haidong left, he hugged Chen Ling very reluctantly, and said that if he couldn't keep up with the tiger fight, he would come back to play after finishing the scene.

   After seeing them off, Chen Ling took his son to the thatched cottage of the two old men in the village and played for a while.

  Zhao Dahai and Shan Mao went back to the city before it rained.

  The elders of the remaining two families stayed in the village, happily living their pastoral life.

  This morning the brigade’s trumpet blared several times, saying that construction was about to start here, to widen the ditch outside the village and dig a river to connect Dayantang.

  If there are young and middle-aged people at home who are idle, they can go to work.

  Professor Zhao Da gave everyone wages.

   Now that the wheat has been harvested, the remaining work is nothing more than ginning, threshing, drying and so on.

  Busy for half a day every day, and can go to Zhao Yubao to work for half a day.

  Besides, the weather is hot, and most of the construction starts in the cool time of morning and afternoon, which is close to dusk. Anyway, I work in the village, and everything is convenient. Most families go, even women.

   Everyone wants to earn some extra money.

   But Zhao Yubao was quite satisfied.

  Many people are more powerful, and work faster.

  The old man got excited, and personally went to the battle to direct, saying how wide the river was going to be dug, where he was going to build a bridge, where was the fish pond to raise fish and grow lotus, and so on.

   The demand is not too much, and everyone is willing to do it if they are paid. Wang Lixian's good style gives more.

  Chen Ling wandered around, and later Wang Cunye drove the cattle and sheep to join in the fun nearby, so he handed over his son to the old man, went home by himself, and tried to set up a big net.

   Waiting to be used against that strange fish.
