My 1995 Small Farm

 The night deep in the Daqin Mountains is primitive and desolate.

 Under the starless night sky, in the dark mountain forest, only pairs of green eyes were shaking, and there were intermittent roars of beasts, mixed with the screams of night owls from time to time, which seemed extremely scary.

This place is too far away from human habitation and is a world of wild beasts.

 There are packs of jackals and wolves at night, and there are also leopards and bears wandering in the forest. It is very dangerous to sleep in such deep mountains.

 Chen Ling did not find a place to rest tonight. He left the wolf cave and drove away the big lynx, then saw a pack of wolves above the ravine.

Originally, he thought that since he encountered a lynx, it would be good to catch Duodongtian and raise it, and he could also help the newborn wolf cubs out of crisis.

Not wanting the thing to be too slippery, he fired two shots but failed to hit. The figure was so light that it seemed to be floating. In the blink of an eye, it was ten meters away. He couldn't even aim the gun, let alone Chen Ling himself. Close.

 Chen Ling chased for a while unwillingly, passing through several obvious animal trails in the mountains, and met the wolves on the animal trails in the open area above the ravine.

There are about fourteen or five wolves in the pack. Under the leadership of the alpha wolf, they run quickly through the mountains and forests, and emit bursts of desolate howls from time to time.

 They are gathering a team, the target is a group of sika deer.

 The wolves attacked head-on, and the sika deer fled in panic.

Sika deer are the elves of the mountains. They can jump high, run fast, and run like flying through the mountains and forests. There are very few people who can compare with them.

 But they are fast, and the wolves are not slow either, and are extremely patient.

 So the wolves quickly captured an old and weak sika deer.

 Sika deer already belong to the category of large grass animals. This kind of food of more than 100 kilograms is enough for this group of wolves to have a full meal.

 It's just that they were keenly aware of Chen Ling's aura.

Out of caution, the pack of wolves did not come over to offend. Instead, after looking warily in Chen Ling's direction, they dragged their prey down the mountain.

 Chen Ling sighed at the intelligence and caution of these wolves, thinking that maybe they smelled gunpowder. After all, he had just shot the lynx and knew that he was not easy to mess with.

 When they had something to eat, they dragged it away, maybe because they were afraid of robbing it themselves?

It was rare for Chen Ling to witness the hunting scene of wild beasts in the mountains with his own eyes. Now that he was immersed in the scene, his heart was filled with excitement and he couldn't think about it anymore.

 Slowly follow the wolves down the mountain along the animal path, following far behind.

Of course, he didn’t follow very closely, so when the wolves found out, they would probably continue to wander around trying to get rid of him.

 But what I didn’t expect was…

As soon as the wolves dragged the deer down the mountain, they encountered a blind bear.

 No, it’s not one end, it’s two ends.

They are not just one big and one small bear, but a black bear couple with both strong physiques.

In tandem, one was confronting the wolves on this side of the stream, and the other roared out from the other side of the stream.

 When the blind bear appears together, it must be the mating period.

 At this time, they value their territory the most.

The wolves thought their food was being spied on, and the two sides immediately started to confront each other.

The wolves howled and the black bear roared, and the two sides faced off for a long time.

The furious male bear finally couldn't hold back his anger and slapped him with a slap. The wolf couldn't avoid it and fell down on the spot.

The wolves saw this and of course gave up and launched a direct counterattack.

 Under the dark night, beside the stream, the two sides were fighting together.

 Sounds of splashing water, roars, screams, rough breathing...

 They all surrounded Chen Ling's ears.

He was lying on the big stone in the forest attentively watching the big show, and he didn't mind the coldness of the stone.

Five small yellow-skinned beasts were also beside him, watching curiously.

After their experience this time, they are no longer afraid of these ferocious large beasts, but are eager to try them one by one.

  It's a bit like the boldness of the yellow-throated marten.

 Most of the time, battles between beasts are quick.

 They are both wise.

 Knowing that once injured, it is fatal in the mountains.

It's all about driving the opponent away, driving the opponent far away, that's enough, and fighting as little as possible.

 So the two sides soon stopped fighting.

 The wolves continued to drag their prey away. It was obvious that they had compromised.

The black bear couple also walked slowly and staggered away.

 The blind bear is gone, and so are the wolves.

 There was only one seriously injured wolf and the female wolf lingering there, licking her wounds and reluctant to leave.

“It turns out that the injured one was a wolf... No wonder the wolves gave in and left so quickly.”

 Chen Ling saw the female wolf reluctant to leave, and then suddenly understood the identity of the wolf that was seriously injured by the black bear's slap.

 Because among the wolves, only the alpha wolf has the right to mate, and they are monogamous and have the right to produce offspring.

 They are very loyal to each other.

 If there are no accidents, they will be together for a lifetime.

 As a result, the first wolf was seriously injured and died.

 The she-wolf still stayed by his side for a long time, clinging to him for a while, reluctant to leave.

　　After a long time, the first wolf's body turned cold, and the female wolf stood up and walked away slowly.

 After walking for a while, I looked back several times before finally leaving.

 It did not go to find its fellow wolves.

 After losing the first wolf, the wolf pack may not be able to accept it again.

 Chen Ling looked at the back of the female wolf and suddenly thought of the pregnant female wolf.

 Thinking again of the two old wolves running down the mountain.

It is estimated that when they encountered various ferocious opponents, they were eliminated from the wolf pack and wandered alone in the mountains.

yes.

 As the number of species of beasts in the nearby mountains increases.

Such cruel things happen every now and then.

At this moment, the female wolf who left alone let out a panicked howl.

 Chen Ling trembled and looked over hastily.

It turned out that a group of Qinling jackals rushed down from the mountains in the distance. They chased and bit the female wolf. They were shadowy in the middle of the night and howled horribly.

"It seems that the pregnant she-wolf is not the only one who is pitiful..."

“Perhaps I shouldn’t even take care of the pregnant she-wolf and her cubs.”

 Chen Ling sighed secretly, suddenly feeling that he was still far from a real hunter.

 …

 Outside the mountain, the sky is already bright.

There are several short thatched houses on the grassy slopes with small courtyards.

 The morning sun shines in lazily.

 The steamer emits steam mixed with the aroma of meat.

 Chen Xiaoer and his wife were busy around the stove.

Next to her is a smart and playful little girl, and she is accompanied by two male dolls wearing thick clothes and little hats.

There are also two big dogs circling the steamer waiting for the big meat buns to come out of the pot.

“I’m asking you, Zhenzhen. Seeing that you and Ruirui ran out to play happily so early, your brother-in-law must be back, right?”

 Chen Xiaoer’s wife smiled and patted Wang Zhenzhen on the head, “I’m just looking at the buns, be careful I’ll burn you.”

“Well, my brother-in-law came back before dawn. He brought back a lot of prey and several sika deer. Heiwa and Xiaojin went to the mountains to help him drive them back.

I was feeding them when I came here, and several of them were pregnant with fawns. "

Wang Zhenzhen stared at the steaming steamer and replied, then said to Chen Xiaoer: "Brother Xiaoer, the steamed buns you steam are so fragrant. Except for my brother-in-law, I have never smelled such fragrant buns."

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoer touched his bald head and almost lost his eyes from laughter.

Then he shook his head and said with a big grin: "I don't dare to say anything else about your second brother. There are two things that he is best at. One is these steamed buns with pork and green onions. The other one is the Chen family of our old Chen family. Vinegar braised noodles.

 Let you try it another day. "

As he said that, the buns were ready to come out of the pot, so he opened the steamer.

 In the steaming white water vapor, he and his wife took the steamed bun sieve and started filling the buns.

 “Come, come, let’s eat steamed buns.”

 Chen Xiaoer shouted, put both hands into a bowl alone, and handed the bowl to Wang Zhenzhen's hand: "Let it dry first, eat slowly, and be careful not to burn it."

When Ruirui and Daxu saw Wang Zhenzhen holding a bowl and starting to eat steamed buns, they stood on tiptoes and stretched out their little hands to shout "wrapped paper" and "wrapped paper".

“Hey, look at how greedy you two are.”

Chen Xiaoer glared at the two little girls with funny eyes.

 Then he picked up a big bun and broke it in half.

Inside is a meat filling that is full of soup. The meat filling is as thick as a meatball. It is boiling hot and steaming when you break it open.

Even he himself heard a hiss from the heat, took a breath of cold air, and quickly put it into two small bowls.

 Then, under the eager eyes of Ruirui and Daxu, he put it on the small table and gave them two small spoons for them to eat.

The two little guys have been greedy for a long time, and they can't even use a spoon.

　　I buried my face in the bowl and started to eat. The temperature in the mountains was low in the morning, so the buns that were broken into two halves quickly stopped being hot.

The two little kids had their faces full of oil and juice, like two little tigers, eating very enthusiastically.

Wang Zhenzhen also held the bowl and ate it. Finally, after the buns were no longer so hot, he started to hold them. It was a satisfying meal.

 Chen Xiaoer and his wife saw this and looked at it with smiles, "Eat slowly, there will still be some left after eating."

Then he and his wife served a bowl of millet porridge, a meat bun with pickles, took a bite of the fragrant meat bun, another bite of refreshing pickles, and finally drank a sip of hot millet porridge.

 It’s so comfortable.

 Chen Xiaoer had an idea very early on.

 Find a place where there is no noise, no censorship, no competition for fame and fortune, and spend your time that truly belongs to you.

 At least live a small life of your own.

 Now he has achieved it.

 Watching the children gathered around the table and devoured the steamed buns made by himself, he felt warm in his heart and felt more satisfied than ever before.

 “Ruirui, are the buns made by uncle delicious?”

 “Ah wow, what a good seven.”

“Haha, I’ll bring a few back to your dad later so that he can have a taste of our craftsmanship, so that he doesn’t have to complain about us all day long.”

 “Oh, mom wants it too.”

“Uh, hahaha, good boy, good boy, no wonder people say you are smart, you know so much at such a young age.”

Wang Zhenzhen hurriedly spoke after hearing this: "He knows a lot, but he still dislikes Lele and Kangkang and cries all day long. When he hears it, he plugs his ears, frowns, and sighs like my brother-in-law."

 After hearing this, Chen Xiaoer and his wife became even happier.

He smiled at Ruirui and said, "Oh, you little guy, you can still sigh."

Then he watched Wang Zhenzhen get up and get another big bun, sit back and gnaw on it.

Chen Xiaoer rolled his eyes and thought that Fugui, the boy, had killed so many prey this time, so he must have stewed meat. His boy and sister-in-law had eaten so many steamed buns from me, so they had a legitimate reason to go there this time.

 This is how he makes friends.

 The more we treat them as true friends, the more stingy they act.

Since the children of the Chen Ling family came over for a meal, they must eat it back, and they must eat it several times, and they must make money.

Just as he was talking, he saw Chen Ling walking down the **** with a little green horse and a little white cow.

 Chen Xiaoer saw it clearly.

When Chen Ling met Wang Juxiang, Wang Juxiang was recovering from his leg injury. He was driving Wang Laishun's donkey cart to load a donkey cart of corn from the wheat field. He estimated that he was going to the countryside to deliver public grain today. When he saw Chen Ling, he shivered nervously and almost bumped into Chen Ling.

After Chen Ling avoided it, he pulled Wang Juxiang from the donkey cart to the ground with a cold face: "You don't have eyes, or is it intentional? You don't want to hurt your legs?"

Wang Juxiang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was trembling all over. He just kept saying: "There are too many grains in the bag. It is troublesome for the donkey to pull up, so I didn't pay attention."

 I dare not say any other words to refute the complaints.

 Chen Ling didn't do anything to him. Since we are all enemies, you almost bumped into me and you still don't allow me to speak out?

 That doesn’t make sense.

“Hey, you kid, you’re scaring people, you’re almost becoming a village bully.”

As soon as Wang Juxiang left, Chen Xiaoer joked on the slope.

Of course he has heard about the deeds of the Wang Juxiang brothers, and also knows that the reason why this man is afraid of Chen Ling is because he was unreasonable and bullied his brother, and was frightened by Chen Ling's beating.

So I don’t think Chen Ling is being overbearing, I’m just joking.

 Chen Ling ignored this and drove away the horses and cows. When he saw his sister-in-law and son eating steamed buns at the table, he went over to get the steamed buns to eat without any politeness.

“Listen to Zhenzhen, Fugui, you just came back in the middle of the night, come and have a bowl of porridge to warm yourself up.”

 Chen Xiaoer's wife went to deliver some buns to Zhao Yubao's family on the slope. When she came back, she saw Chen Ling coming, so she came over and said with a smile.

 “Oh, don’t bother sister-in-law, I can do it myself.”

 “Oh, you are so rude, you sit down and eat and drink.”

 Chen Xiaoer saw Chen Ling eating half a bun in one mouthful, and thought to himself that with this kid’s appetite, how many times would I have to go to his house to eat before I could eat it back.

 “Dad~”

Seeing Chen Ling drinking porridge, Rui Rui quickly came over, lowered his head and buried his head in the bowl to drink porridge.

 When you get excited about drinking, your little oily hands are about to hold the bowl.

 Chen Ling quickly pulled away and wiped his hands with the tablecloth with a frown on his face: "You, you, you, I really can't live with my hands and face anymore, Da Xu came and wiped them too."

 After wiping hands with the two little boys, Chen Ling raised his head and said, "Little brother, you did a good job with the fenced courtyard. I went to the mountains for three or four days, and you finished it now. It was pretty fast."

“Of course, you think I’m really indifferent to all aspects of work. I can learn anything quickly and do the same work.”

Chen Xiaoer crossed his legs and gave himself a thumbs-up sign with one hand: "We have no other merits, except that we are smart, can endure hardships, and are self-reliant."

 “You can pull it down.”

 Chen Ling glanced at him: "You really think I don't know who helped you repair your stove and roof?"

 “Hey, that doesn’t count, that does require technology, I’ll definitely think about it slowly.”

Chen Xiaoer did not feel guilty at all. Then he changed the subject and asked curiously: "You were so busy hunting in the mountains that you forgot about time... or something happened. Didn't you say you would be back the next day?

  Why, it’s the fourth day of doing this.

I heard from Uncle Cunye that you will be asked to pick up people in the city recently.

 Have any relatives returned from Beijing after the National Day?

 Normally you would not have forgotten this. "

 “Yeah, something happened and it was delayed.”

Chen Ling shook his head helplessly and talked about what happened in the mountains.

When Chen Xiaoer and his wife heard this, they were immediately attracted to it. Chen Xiaoer also forgot to tease Chen Ling again, and even put aside the thought of going to Chen Ling's house to have more meals. He just listened attentively.

 The real hunter encounter revealed to him the true side of the wild beasts in the mountains.

 This is something Chen Xiaoer has never heard of in so many years.

Especially when I heard that a pregnant female wolf was being chased by a black bear and was frantically looking for a place to give birth to her cubs, I couldn't help but feel unbearable.

 Asked Chen Ling why he didn’t take the little wolf back.

 Chen Ling just shook his head and continued to talk about his experiences in the mountains these past few days without further explanation.

Chen Xiaoer was surprised when he heard the last word: "So that's it. It turns out that there are more wild beasts in the mountains, and the old and disabled ones were eliminated in the battle and ran down the mountain."

 Let me put it this way, there will be more incidents like the old wolf and the old wild boar coming down the mountain in the future. "

 Chen Ling nodded. Needless to say, this is for sure.

Especially as winter is getting closer and there is less food in the mountains, I am afraid that there will be larger-scale fights between wild beasts.

But don’t be afraid of this.

 When the time comes, I will bring Ah Fu and Ah Shou back.

 There are dogs guarding the home.

 It is absolutely safe.
