My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 290 The Missing Person

  I harvested honey. When I went back, I went to deliver some to Liang Hongyu's family, just in time for lunch.

   The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and Wang Qingwen's family and two young grandsons are also there, so my mother-in-law still cooked two meat dishes for lunch.

  Although it is simple, one is eel plate and the other is fried chicken nuggets, but it is richer than ordinary people.

  Cut a few salted duck eggs, pick a few side dishes from the vegetable field mixed with tofu as a cold dish, make a plate of crispy fried peanuts, sprinkle some sugar and you're done.

  Chen Ling saw this and went into the kitchen to add two dishes.

   Didn't you just cut so much honey?

   I made honey yam and honey steamed egg.

  I won’t talk about honey yam, the key is this honey steamed egg, the eggs at home are better than ordinary eggs.

The egg liquid is broken and dispersed, add honey and water, after steaming out of the pot, the whole steamed egg will rise, smooth and bouncy, showing a crystal light yellow amber color, looking like jelly, as if with a glue.

   At the same time, the aroma of eggs and honey was stimulated by the hot pot gas, and the table was full of fragrance.

   Take a bite into your mouth with a spoon, you don't need to chew at all, just sip it with your tongue, and the steamed egg "slips" down your throat and slides down.

  It only leaves a mouthful of strong fragrance in the mouth, and in the strong fragrance, there is the sweetness of honey in the fine product, and the aftertaste is endless.

   is full of praise.

   After lunch, have a cup of honey mint tea, go to a pavilion outside the farmhouse, play chess, drink tea, and let the cool mountain wind blow, which is also a very pleasant thing.

   As for the dinner at night, I didn't do it specially, it was just a normal meal, because tomorrow Chen Ling was going to bring his family to the Yaowang Temple for incense.

  After dinner, I packed up my things. This time I wanted to take Wang Susu and the children out to play.

   Therefore, all kinds of things such as diapers should be prepared. As the saying goes, the poor are going to get rich, so don’t panic when you bring enough things to be useful.

  Everything was ready, and the car was borrowed. I didn't expect it to rain when I was leaving in the morning.

   The autumn rain was rustling, and it was falling down, saying that it was not too big, but after a morning, there was no sign of stopping.

   Helpless, the travel plan was interrupted, and the Chen Ling family had to put their things away again, and honestly stayed at home until the rain stopped.

  Chen Ling himself, after sending a thank-you letter to the pen pals, he had nothing to do, so he went to the hunting equipment room and started tinkering.

   First tidied up the heads of the two red muntjacs.

   One was picked up from under the mouth of the leopard, and the other was taken from the mouth of the male wolf, both of which are well preserved.

   In addition to the red deer, the newly added wild boar teeth are also slightly sorted out.

   After doing this, he wrote his hunter's notes later, and added the nearest badger, fox, leopard, and wolfdog.

"This guy, the more he writes, the thicker he's written. The reason has gone through, and I feel that it is quite readable... If things go on like this, maybe he will be able to publish a book in the future, um, he will be called [Qinling Hunter King], and then put the dog He painted on the eagle as the cover, tsk tsk, that's so majestic."

  Chen Ling laughed happily and thought for a while, then closed the [Hunter Note] and put it back.

  Then locked the door of the hunting equipment room and entered the cave.

   He came in to see the bumblebee, and wanted to see if there was any change in the ones he received yesterday.

   The time to get the cave is not short.

   He discovered that things in the outside world, such as birds, beasts, insects and fish, would change drastically in the first three days, or even the first day, when they first entered the cave.

   is like the original big cock.

   There are two later red eels.

  The common red eel is not as mysterious as people say.

   Except for the color, it is no different from the eel, and the wild grows very slowly.

   But Chen Ling's two red eels were different. Their bodies were soaring, and under the eyes of people, they grew to more than 30 centimeters in a month.

   This is also the reason why Lynx and Professor Han were surprised and even paid a lot of money.

   Even if Chen Ling dropped the bag, it wasn't the first two that were given to them.

   After they brought it back, they also made a lot of research findings.

   And this bee, let alone.

   Especially worker bees are originally a kind of underdeveloped female bees.

   They are in their larval stage, when they are closest to the queen's throne.

   So much so that many artificially bred queen bees help worker bees change their lives against the sky during the larval stage.

   An accident happened to the queen bee in the bee colony. The worker bees urgently built the queen bee platform, secreted royal jelly, and cultivated the queen bee. The process is similar.

   But after missing the larval stage, the worker bee who is already a worker bee will always be a worker bee, and there is no chance to change his life against the sky to become the queen bee again.

   Now that they have entered the cave, they have come into contact with the rich spiritual energy in it, and the opportunity to change their life that they had missed and failed to grasp is placed in front of them again.

  The rich aura will prompt their bodies to undergo drastic changes again and start a new transformation.

   The best of them will seize the opportunity to become the queen bee.

  The remaining worker bees may not have any changes on the surface, but when they reproduce, such as drones, their mutated genes buried deep in their bodies will play a decisive role.

   Such a drone, and then mating with the queen bee, that guy is amazing.

   This is the same as the red eel.

  Ordinary red eel is caused by genetic mutation under the influence of living environment and other factors. The offspring will return to the color of normal eel and become yellow eel.

   But Chen Ling's two have given birth to a new branch, and the descendants have all turned red.

   This is why Chen Ling is more concerned and wants to come in and have a look.

   There were probably hundreds of bees that were brought in yesterday, and they were simply trapped in the thatched hut by him.

After    entered the cave, he transformed into two queen bees.

   Now that the bees have been divided, they are going to build their nests in the thatched hut.

  Chen Ling controlled with his mind and divided the two groups of bees into two places, preventing them from building their nests in the thatched hut.

When    was divided, he also carefully observed the changes that the two groups of bees produced after entering the cave.

   "The darker the color is, the heavier the black is, the more golden the color is, the more prominent the yellow is..."

  Chen Ling pondered, "It seems that, like the beginning, the whole swarm collected, with the queen bee, has the smallest change."

   "Is there a reason why you will be anxious without the queen bee, and not in a hurry if you have a queen bee, because you are not facing an existential crisis?"

   "This requires a few more swarms to observe."

   Then he suppressed his thoughts and returned to the front and back of the hut again.

In the canals before and after the thatched hut, the population of the red eel has grown stronger and stronger. The red eel is floating in a layer. The first two red eels are now more than one meter long, extremely fat, and their whiskers are also long, and they are swimming. Followed by large and small schools of fish, swimming in the canal, it is very spectacular.

  Especially now that they have two little daggers on the top of their heads, they really look like two red dragon kings.

   There are a lot of fish in this kind of small crocodile, and it doesn't need to grow dragon horns or something, it's not surprising.

  Chen Ling waved at the canal, the water splashed everywhere in the canal, and the red eels flew to the shore, and then brought a knife from the thatched hut and simply killed them.

   The dishes for dinner are there.

  This eel is delicious and nourishes the body. It is often said that the eel in the small heat is better than ginseng. The red eel in this cave is not worse than ordinary ginseng, and there is no drawback of overdosing.

   Good things are good things, but in places that are not sold now, the fry are still increasing, so why don't you eat so many fish.

   "Well, it's time to put some golden pheasants out."

  Chen Ling washed his hands and walked slowly to the back of the hut.

   There is a group of golden pheasants here, running back and forth among the flowers, shuttling among the flowers, constantly pecking at the mature grass seeds.

   When they saw him, some were not afraid and continued to do their own thing, while some flew up to the fruit tree, quietly watching him, very alert.

   If you are afraid, be afraid, and let those who are afraid of him go out later.

  Chen Ling smiled and stomped and waved to drive away, and the golden pheasants on the tree flew up.

   Each feather is bright red and gorgeous, and there is a golden crown on the head, like a phoenix, it is really beautiful.

   Now after more than a year, it has also multiplied in the cave, and it is time to release a few.

   Just do it.

   Dodged out of the cave, it was still raining outside.

   He found an umbrella, called Heiwa, and left the farm.

   After leaving the farm, go straight to Nanshan.

  There are no beasts on Nanshan.

   After these golden pheasants are released, there are fewer natural enemies, and the number of survivors is far greater than that of Xishan and Beishan.

   As for whether the rain will get in the way, this Chen Ling is not worried at all.

   On the Nanshan Mountain, he released the golden pheasants and watched them flying around in the forest in the rain. Chen Ling smiled happily.

   "Let you be afraid of me."

   "It's right to be afraid of me. After Zhengchou lets you out, what if you see me find it back."

   Then glanced at Heiwa, "Let's go, continue to the old place to see if there is any trace of the leopard."

  Heiwa understood the meaning instantly, and ran to the front in the rain, sniffing the smell while exploring the road.

   Rain will certainly wash away the smell.

  However, a beast like a leopard has a huge appetite, and it is impossible not to come out to drink water for food.

   Walk along the river to see if there are any footprints left. The footprints are clear when it rains, and it is easier to find than usual.

   After nearly an hour, I walked to the old place and turned around the nearby river and water sources.

   There are discoveries and discoveries, but the results are still very disappointing.

   "Look at the footprints, it was several days ago. We should have suffered a loss in our hands, so we came to the water to drink water for hunting, and left Nanshan after filling our stomachs."

   Chen Ling looked at a string of leopard footprints left by the river, and the bones of two little wild boars at the edge of the woods, and was sure that the time was not too short.

   "Damn, this leopard is still eyeing wild boars, does it eat wild boars exclusively?"

   But I think of those wild boars at home.

  Chen Ling couldn't help smacking his lips, the little wild pork is really delicious, and the roast suckling pig is the most fragrant.

  This leopard is quite discerning, but he has no fate with him.

  If he still wanted to find it, he would put it in the cave and treat it for its injuries. If there is a chance to catch it later, it will be cultivated. It would be good to have a few litters.

   Release it when hunting, think about it and get motivated.

  Unfortunately, I couldn't find it.

   So I had to go back. When I got home, I turned to the reservoir and looked at the garlic heads.

   Collected some water in the reservoir again, played the cloud and rain in the cave, lightning and thunder, and then went home after the addiction.

   On the seventeenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, although the rain stopped for a while, it started falling again in the middle of the morning.

   This made Chen Ling very depressed: "I finally wanted to go out, why can't I go out."

   After he finished speaking, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting on the edge of the bed holding the baby in one hand and reading the book of medicinal botany with the other. Chen Ling was even more depressed.

   had no choice but to walk over and pick up my son, and strolled around in the upstairs corridor outside, watching the rain with my son.

   After walking for a while, someone suddenly called him.

   "Rich and noble, come out and play chess."

   He followed the voice and saw that it was Chen Dazhi standing in the corridor beside the lotus pond and waving to him.

Huh? When did Chen Dazhi come?

  Chen Ling glanced outside the farm, as if the old husband and uncle were also there.

   went back to the room, gave his son to Wang Susu, and went out with an umbrella.

   Walking outside the farm, I saw a few people sitting in the pavilion in the bamboo forest, "Oh, Brother Dazhi, Fourth Grandpa, when did you come here?"

  Chen Dazhi laughed when he saw him: "It's been a while, and we've played several games of chess. We thought you were going back to sleep while it was raining, so we didn't call you."

   At this time, Chen Gannian, who was sitting by the chessboard, also looked over, "Fugui was looking at the doll just now, right?"

  Chen Ling was taken aback for a moment.

  Chen Gannian usually calls him by his father's name most of the time and rarely by his nickname.

  I don't recognize him as his father now, that's awake.

   said quickly: "Yeah, bring the baby."

   "Can you take care of the baby?"

   "It's not bad for a while now, it's getting cold, and I fell asleep two naps in the morning without making a fuss."

   "Oh, that's fine."

   Although Chen Gannian was sober, his old eyes were still a little cloudy.

  Chen Ling said, it's raining outside, so let's move the chessboard to the house.

   As soon as he spoke, his father-in-law and eldest brother-in-law also agreed and invited them in.

   Walking home, Chen Dazhi whispered to him.

  Chen Gannian didn't know what was going on this morning, and it was a long time when he was awake.

  I didn't eat in the morning, so I went up the mountain and went to the grave of the fourth grandmother to stay for a while.

  The fourth grandmother disappeared at about this time last year, and the difference was even less than a month.

   The old man may not be feeling well again.

   After I got home and had dinner, I went around the village to find some old friends from the past.

   Chen Yongsheng and his wife have no choice.

   After following him for a while, Chen Dazhi saw him and took the old man around the village.

When they finally wanted to go back, they encountered Wang Cunye leading the cow and the little yellow dog to the farm. They said a few words. The fourth grandfather knew that this was Chen Ling's father-in-law, so he would follow him no matter what he said. Not to do anything.

   just pulled Wang Cunye to speak.

  Wang Cunye didn't take it seriously, so he called Wang Qingwen and played chess with the two of them outside the farm, talking while playing chess.

   "Fugui, why do you still have half a leopard tail? Is there another leopard on the Beishan behind you?"

   led to the first floor of the bamboo building, and just made tea for the two and set the chessboard, Chen Gannian asked, pointing to the tail of the leopard hanging on the pillar under the eaves outside the house.

  Chen Ling was greatly surprised, "Fourth Grandpa, do you know this is Leopard Tail?"

   "Then you must know me. When I was a child, I saw someone beat a leopard on Beishan."

  The old man took off his liberation cap, wiped the rain behind his head, and said casually.

"This…"

  Chen Ling and his father-in-law looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

   Not to mention their husband and wife, Wang Lixian asked all the old people in the village at that time.

  Isn't the fourth grandfather the only one left out?

   No one would have thought that this confused old man would know such a thing.
