MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-v2 Chapter 421 Comfortable

  Chapter 421 Comfortable

   "Can a dog drink water from this spring?"

   "It's too cold, it's better not to drink it after throwing up just now, let it drink the water from the drain."

"OK."

  …

  Chen Ling looked up at the sun. It was almost noon, so he asked everyone to rest.

  This small water tower has a small amount of work, and with the assistance of Wang Lixian, it can be completed in at most two or three days, and there is no need to rush to do it.

   "Fugui, now that the water towers have been built, why don't we hurry up and build a tap water system in the farm? The two are matched together, so it's so convenient for draft and water use."

   "Well, I have this plan. At that time, a faucet will be installed at the water tower, and the faucet in the yard will be installed at the side of the grape trellis and the side of the kitchen..."

   Shanmao and the two accompanied Wang Lixian to feed the dog water, and at the same time made suggestions to Chen Ling.

   Without saying a word, the two old men shouted in front.

   "Cat, cat, big cat."

  When they shouted, the branches and leaves of the nearby trees shook.

  There was a big cat with grass-yellow hair on the crown of the tree and a reddish back, with small black spots holding a magpie in its mouth. It hurriedly jumped down from the tree and slipped into a lush grass in the distance.

  There were a few sneaky little heads by the side of the grass. They poked their heads out to look out, and then they shrank back into the grass suddenly when they saw the eyes of everyone looking over.

   "It's a mountain raccoon."

  Wang Cunye said: "The one I told you about yesterday was raised by Ling Zi here, and he is catching it for a house cat."

   "Ah, this is the mountain fox, bigger than a house cat, and looks like a half-sized dog, fat and strong."

  Zhao Yubao said in a daze, thinking that this mountain raccoon is just like a little leopard, big, beautiful and majestic.

  Old man Zhong was even more curious, and couldn't help but want to go over to have a look, muttering: "I seem to have seen a kitten showing its head just now.

  ...Cun karma, Cun karma, come over here, didn't you say that the kitten who just gave birth came out of the nest so quickly. "

   "Ang, that's not surprising. Wild cats are the same as wild rabbits. They will run away in two or three days after they are born."

  Wang Cunye took it for granted, "If you don't believe me, ask Ling Zi, he often takes dogs to catch rabbits, and he even raised wild rabbits two years ago."

   "Is this true Fugui? Wild is so powerful?"

Fearing that the two old men would look around curiously and scare away the cub-care raccoons and move them away, Chen Ling quickly replied, "Yes, there are a lot of wild things in the mountains and fields, and these wild things give birth to cubs." Afraid of being eaten by natural enemies, they must have some self-protection ability from birth.

   Take a hare for example. The little hare will follow the big rabbit when it is born. It has fur all over its body and can open its eyes soon.

   Rabbits are not good. Rabbits are born hairless, pink and tender, and do not open their eyes. "

  Zhao Dahai's eyes lit up when he heard it, "I know this, it must be the same as wild ducks, wild geese, and wild geese. It's only when domestic rabbits degenerate."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense.

Chen Ling smiled and shook his head slowly: "This is really different. Rabbits and hares are not the same thing, just like chickens and pheasants. Chickens are not domesticated from pheasants, and rabbits are not domesticated from hares." .”

  Actually, domestic rabbits are domesticated from cave rabbits, just like domestic chickens were first domesticated from jungle chickens. There is no close relationship between wild and domesticated ones.

  The hare is just a common hare in the local area, and it will not be domesticated for a long time if it is kept at home.

  Wild rabbits are not suitable for domestication. They jump hoops, dig holes, don’t grow meat, and don’t recognize people. It’s a waste of time to raise them. They often make holes and escape from prison before they are ready to sell their meat.

Wang Susu and Xiang Wenxia and Du Juan were playing with their dolls. Hearing what he said, Wang Susu said strangely; "Oh, that's not right. I remember that the little rabbits sent by Liu Nier and Xizi didn't even open their eyes. , and won’t run away.”

   "That's just born, didn't you hear the little dolls say that I was fed with cat's milk?" Chen Ling said with a helpless smile.

  Wang Susu knew that it was the goat milk that was fed to the dogs when the little rabbits were fed, but in fact it was mixed with spiritual water to feed them.

   Small beasts like hares, mountain foxes, and some wild birds. Although these wild things are born stronger than domesticated ones, they seem to have more tenacious vitality.

   But there is one thing, that is, it cannot be caught.

  Once caught, it will basically not survive for a few days when you take it home, and it will die young.

   Without spiritual water, Chen Ling was not sure how to feed the newborn hare no matter whether he was fed goat milk or cat milk.

   A group of people chatted and walked towards the two bird nets.

  Many birds have learned to be smart today, avoiding the range of the two bird nets far away.

  Some are smart and some are stupid.

   But Chen Ling's goal is Amano Pigeon.

  These stupid birds were released as soon as they could, not even the stupid turtledoves, only some common pest birds, one or two would be taken down for the two dolls to play for fun.

  Wang Lixian looked up at the sky; "At this time, the sun is high and there are few birds. It has to be morning and dusk, especially in the morning. It is best to come out at five in the morning. At that time, there are most birds and it is easy to net.

  Fugui, if you want to catch pigeons, you have to get up early. Wild pigeons are a little smarter. If you don’t come to squat and sprinkle some bait, they won’t hit the net by themselves. "

   "Yeah, wild pigeons are hard to catch. I'll get up early tomorrow, and I can't get another pigeon lure."

  Chen Ling rubbed his chin, thinking to himself, his two little pigeons have been quite obedient recently, why don't they hang out here and lure the wild pigeons outside?

  Well, maybe it will work.

   "Hahaha, then we will wake up early tomorrow and accompany you to net pigeons."

  Hunting has the fun of hunting, and net birds also have the fun of net birds. Zhao Dahai and his family are here to play, and they don't want to miss this kind of fun.

   "Dad~"

  Ruirui, who was playing with the bird with Yaya not far away, suddenly turned her head with bright eyes, called Chen Ling, and pointed towards the east direction.

   "Look~"

   "Uncle, it's a kitten, and another kitten has come out."

  Yaya also jumped and shouted happily.

   "Oh, it's really..."

   "The litter of kittens in the east also came out."

  The adults took a closer look and were pleasantly surprised.

On the east side of the farm, under some newly grown locust trees, there are a few fluffy little guys playing with an orange domestic cat, like **** of wool, and you can hear ' Meow Meow Meow's soft and subtle cry is extremely cute.

  The old man and old lady of the two families couldn't help but want to go over and have a closer look.

  Chen Ling quickly reached out to stop her: "Uncle, Auntie, don't go over now, the big cats who have just given birth are nervous, we will scare them if we approach them rashly, I guess I will move with the kitten in my mouth within two days."

  The animals in the family have to hide from the owner to give birth.

   What's more, this kind of semi-wild cat family composed of mountain raccoons and domestic cats, needless to say wildness and vigilance.

"Oh well."

  The old people of the two families reluctantly gave up.

   Zhao Yubao suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Fugui, you also raised a litter of weasels, why haven't you seen them yet?"

"Hey, don't mention the weasels. I called them back this spring, but I haven't been able to find them all day. I used to catch birds and frogs at the reservoir and the old river bend. See you every year. Less than a few times…”

  Chen Ling shook his head. Those little things were like domestic dogs. You said they were clingy, but they were clingy too, but as long as they went out to have fun, they would run a long way.

  When Wang Cunye was herding sheep, he saw them at the foot of Earth Temple and Xishan Mountain, so he went everywhere.

   "Is that so, then we don't know if we will see you after we stay here for a while."

   "Yes, weasel, by the way, and the fox you mentioned, we really want to see it."

   "They have seen Dahai and Xiaolin, and even Yaya, but we haven't seen any of them."

  After hearing this, Yaya couldn't help laughing and said: "Grandpa, Grandpa Zhong, you two are so childish."

  The two old ladies also said: "That's right, why don't you compare with Yaya?"

  As soon as Ruirui heard someone calling him, he ran over with a bamboo stick and carried the bird, looked up at them with his little head up, and listened to what they were saying about him.

"Look at your busy schedule." Chen Ling smiled and patted him on the back of the head, "The two old uncles want to see weasels and foxes. here."

  The two old men were overjoyed immediately, and they were happy again.

  They wanted to see weasels and foxes. First, they were rare and they hadn’t seen them before, so they couldn’t be more curious.

  Second, I want to take a few photos and show off my knowledge to my old friends when I go back.

   "It's almost noon, the sun is very hot, don't stand here, and don't shade. Go back and cool off, and we will have lunch."

  Chen Ling greeted everyone back to the farm and asked them what they wanted for lunch.

  If ordinary people go to the house, he usually doesn't ask. These people are different. I won't say much about the relationship between Zhao Dahai and the old people. They also take good care of him.

  When they were in the city, they invited their family of three to eat at home, and bought this and that for Ruirui.

   Naturally, you can't neglect when you come to your own home.

  As for Zhao Dahai and the others, they felt very relieved when they came to Chen Ling's house, and waved their hands: "You can figure it out, let's go feed Brother Xian's dog some water and food."

  The old people followed Wang Cunye to the grape rack to feed the pigeons.

  They and Wang Lixian took care of the big wolf dog at the side of a small canal on the east side of the lotus pond.

"Oh, it's cool here. Fugui, your farm feels like a summer resort. I didn't feel this way when I came last year. It seems that the flowers and trees have grown up this year, which is better than last year. In summer It doesn't feel hot."

  Seeing that the fat man was babbling and restless at all, Chen Ling glanced at him helplessly: "How can you be so exaggerated?"

   "What's wrong, don't believe me, if you don't believe me, ask Shanmao, if not, ask your sister-in-law Wenxia."

Xiang Wenxia heard the words and said: "I have this feeling. When Susu was in confinement last year, it was still hot here in summer. Even if it is cooler than in the village, she still sweats sitting in the room. Isn't it Susu?" white?"

  Wang Susu thought about it, and really said, "Well, it's cooler this year..."

   "Look, Susu has said it all."

Zhao Dahai sat down beside the canal, "Hiss, the blue stones in this canal are a bit cold, look at the bobcat, there are moss growing here. Fugui's farm is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is this canal around the house, tsk tsk, this It would be strange if it wasn't cooler than other places."

   "By the way, you can set up a summer resort in the future, and you can stay in a small courtyard in this farm, and you won't be able to make a lot of money."

  He knew that when there were crews here in spring, Chen Ling would earn a lot from the accommodation.

  It's a pity that Chen Ling kept talking like he was chanting scriptures, and he was not in the mood to think about it. He killed the two mountain birds left yesterday and went to the side to shed their feathers.

   Shanmao laughed when he saw this: "Fugui thinks you are noisy, so I don't want to talk to you anymore."

  Everyone burst into laughter.

  Yaya also grimaced: "Dad, you are so annoying, you talk like Erhei, talking non-stop."

  Erhei is a typical chatterbox, who cares a lot about his own affairs at home.

  Chen Ling thought it was a good hunting dog seedling at first, but after seeing its virtue, he decided to let it be a housekeeper.

  Zhao Dahai was so angry that he got up and chased after him: "Hey, little girl, you dare to call me old man, see if I don't beat you."

  Yaya and Rui Rui ran around the yard happily.

   No matter how dirty the two little things are, they crawl around everywhere, feeling happy and exciting.

   Chased Zhao Dahai until he dropped his shoes and socks, sweating profusely, in a panic.

Seeing that they were having a good time, Wang Lixian smiled lightly and said: "Fugui's house is always lively, people here tend to be conservative, people come to the house all day, and if there are too many people, it will be annoying, only Fugui's house can play so relaxedly. "

   Bobcat nodded in agreement.

  Zhao Dahai came back out of breath, and said, "Come on, Brother Xian, I didn't see that Fugui despised me just now, hey, it's so sad to be a brother."

   As he spoke, he covered his heart with a sad look on his face.

   "Go, go, less disgusting people."

  Chen Ling just took off the feathers of the bird, and saw a chill, "Looks like Lu Zhishen, how can I learn from Lin Daiyu."

  Everyone was taken aback when they first heard this, and then burst into more enthusiastic laughter.

  Zhao Yubao even clapped his hands and praised with a smile: "Let me just say, being rich is suitable for being a writer."

   Then he glanced at Zhao Dahai, very disgusted.

   Being despised by his father again made Zhao Dahai very depressed. He took the leather shoes he ran away just now, took off his two socks, and walked towards the drain: "Can't I just shut up? I'll wash my feet."

   But being depressed is depressed, he didn't feel anything in his heart, but he felt that such an atmosphere was very enjoyable for him.

  Is it somewhere else? Relatives and friends are so unscrupulous in joking, but they can't let it go.

   Just sitting down on the bluestone by the canal, and stretching his feet into the canal, he wanted to simply wash his feet, because there is no faucet in Chenling Farm, and the pressurized well is also occupied by people...

   Unexpectedly, just as he stretched into the ditch, the cool feeling soaked into his big feet, and that cool feeling seemed to touch his soul all at once.

  It made the fat man tremble, and let out an extremely ecstatic moan.

   Chen Ling and the others shuddered when they heard it.

   Even a group of dogs at home stared at him with wide eyes.

   "What are you yelling about in surprise again, can't you stop it?" Zhao Yubao and his wife felt ashamed.

  My son is not like this at ordinary times. When he came to his brother in the country, he really let himself go, and his daughter-in-law didn't know how to care.

   "I don't want to, Dad, but the water is so comfortable, I can't help it once I enter the water, don't believe me, come and try?" Zhao Dahai said quite aggrieved.

   "I'll try a fart, do you think I can be like you?" Zhao Yubao said disdainfully, as a great writer, how could he not want any dignity.

   But waited a few minutes.

   Seeing that Zhao Dahai had been soaking in it and couldn’t come out, he walked up to him with his hands behind his back in doubt, and saw Zhao Dahai squinting, lying on his back on the rocks by the canal, almost falling asleep.

  The water in the ditch is rushing, and the aquatic plants are floating gently, which really looks pretty good.

Zhao Yubao swallowed, a little moved, looked at the two bobcats who were taking care of the dog on the other side, and saw that they were not looking here, so he sat down tentatively, took off his shoes and socks, and stretched his two feet lightly. into the water.

  As a result, as soon as his feet entered the water, an indescribably icy feeling rushed to the sky, and he couldn't help but let out a loud cry.

  In an instant, it attracted everyone's attention.

  Zhao Dahai was so frightened that he almost slipped into the water.

   After reacting, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the old man next to him in horror.

  Zhao Yubao's old face turned red when everyone looked at him. He pushed his glasses and said, "Well, you guys, come and try it too. Dahai is not a liar, and the water is cool, so it's quite comfortable."
