My 1995 Small Farm

 In the past, with so many prey dangling in front of his eyes, Chen Ling would have shot them long ago.

Not only did they shoot, but they also let the dogs chase them, and the hawks also had to follow and drive them away.

 Hunt as much harvest as possible.

 Also let the two dogs go hunting.

Today he endured it.

 The scene in front of him really shocked him, and his heart was beating violently.

 Just widened his eyes, trying to figure out what was going on.

Does it have anything to do with those strange things in the mountains and forests, such as pheasants that only get their blood sucked but not their meat?

 So he asked the two dogs and the weasel to quiet down and observe quietly.

Chen Ling himself quietly found a big tree and climbed up.

As we climbed higher and looked farther, we realized that the target of these wild animals was a strange "big pond".

 There were two or three wild sheep of different species drinking at the water's edge.

There are also mountain donkeys mixed in.

 Subsequently, a large herd of deer also ran to the large pond and began to drink water.

This pond is like a large weir pond in the village.

The large weir pond is rectangular, nearly fifty meters long and about twenty meters wide.

 This pond is of course not that big.

The length and width are also irregular. Three sides have very steep slopes, and the last side is open and flat, connected to another mountain forest.

 At this time, the three steep slopes were filled with all kinds of wild animals.

The scene is very spectacular.

“This guy is making it look like a great migration of animals in Africa. This huge scene is just for drinking water?”

Chen Ling still felt strange, "Shanzhong Lake, Laohewan, and the small rivers and ditches at the foot of the mountain are all connected to the water in my house...

 The water sources in those places are not as attractive to them as this small pond? "

 That’s what I was thinking.

 He still did not act rashly and quietly observed the situation over there.

Heiwa Xiaojin under the tree did not deliberately hide. He and the weasels were on a huge rock, watching from a distance, watching the prey.

Also on alert for the approach of wolves on those high mountains.

 Time passes minute by minute…

The wild animals didn’t seem to be here for the party. They left one after another after drinking water.

 Those who come and go are inevitably stared at by wild beasts that are lurking in the mountains and forests not far from the water and have been waiting for a long time.

 This... really feels a bit like those animals on the African savanna.

 Large groups of grass animals come and go here.

 There are also females with cubs coming over.

 After the large group of grass animals leaves, they will bring their young ones to drink water.

Not to mention, the large herds of deer and wild sheep are a bit dizzying.

 On the contrary, these female animals with cubs are more eye-catching.

What attracted most of Chen Ling's attention was these female beasts with cubs.

For example, Qingyang…

 A type of wild sheep.

 Also called goral.

　　Except for being beardless and having brown and black fur, it is almost exactly like a goat.

The female goral walked through the dense forest. After looking around for a while, she turned back and called twice into the forest.

The sound of this thing is very quiet.

 In the silent mountain forest, you can only see movements but not hear sounds.

After barking twice, he went to the pond, lowered his head, and began to drink water leisurely.

After a while, two more gorals emerged from the forest. They also imitated the mother gorals and started drinking water.

The little goral was very naughty. After drinking water for a while, he ran away. The female goral finished drinking the water, but stood beside it, looking very satisfied.

Just when the female goral was getting ready to leave.

 A little wild boar sprang out, so hurriedly that it scared away the birds on the top of the tree.

 It also comes to drink water.

 But the little thing is very frivolous, rampant, and doesn't pay attention to anything.

After running over, he rushed into the pond.

I don’t know if the little wild boar was too thirsty or was deliberately causing trouble and directly made the pondside muddy.

The mother goral was frightened, and the two goral cubs were also frightened. They ran into the forest and disappeared.

 Fortunately, they left in time.

 After a while, the screams of deer and sheep were heard in the distant forest.

 This was obviously an ambush by a pack of wolves.

Little wild boars are not afraid. They are patterned piglets, wild enough and playful. Not just one of them came here, but many more came running from nowhere and came in groups to drink water from the pond.

 A pig is a pig.

 It is no different from the pig at home.

 Drinking water is not hygienic either.

Hands and hooves were taken along with the body and he was dunked into the water and drank vigorously.

 Soon after, the big wild boar herd also came.

The big wild boars didn’t care much. They jumped into the water and took a bath directly in the bathhouse.

This large family makes many grass beasts afraid to approach.

 Two pairs of mountain donkeys, mother and son, are quite afraid of them.

He just wandered around the other side of the large pond with his cubs, not drinking water. He carefully looked at the wild boar in the pond, and licked the soil on the ground from time to time, which was licking the salt.

 The two little mountain donkeys are very naughty.

They are very courageous and don't care about anything. If they want to drink water, they will take a few sips. If they don't want to drink, they will shuttle back and forth under the mother's belly.

The two little guys were much smaller than the one Chen Ling had delivered. They were jumping around and playing with each other.

I stopped from time to time and stared curiously at the wild boars bathing in the pond with my big eyes.

 Because these wild boar herds are extremely restless and always make noises in the water by making noises.

In addition to these, small beasts also come and go here.

Squirrels, mountain raccoons, and porcupines carrying arrows on their backs also passed by on their short legs.

 This is a very harmonious and warm scene.

  But harmony and warmth are relative

Just like the scenes of animals drinking water on the African grasslands, if there are too many grass animals, predators will be attracted.

In addition to wolves, there are also leopards and jackals lingering and lurking nearby. They will often seize the opportunity to suddenly burst out of the forest and pounce on the grass animals by the water.

 Scare them away.

 The unlucky ones who couldn't run were dragged deep into the jungle or high into the mountains.

 The wild boar taking a bath in the pond was lucky enough to escape the disaster.

　　Observed in the tree for a long time.

 Chen Ling discovered:

These beasts seem to have a tacit understanding. They catch their prey and leave. Whether it is a wolf or a leopard, they do not leave a **** smell near the pond for fear of disturbing the prey and dare not come to drink water.

This made Chen Ling even more curious about what was so strange about this place.

Seeing that in the afternoon, the wild boars still wanted to hang around, the wild sheep from the mountains came in batches, and a group of sika deer also came.

Chen Ling saw that the wolves had retreated after hunting.

  As for leopards, whether it is a clouded leopard or a leopard, he cannot find it if he hides.

 At any rate, Heiwa and the others didn’t respond.

 Chen Ling decided that it was time to go out on his own. With so many prey dangling in front of his eyes, it was unreasonable not to take care of them.

Moreover, the wild boar was too arrogant. When the wolf came, he hid in the pond, and when the wolf left, he still couldn't get out.

In addition to wolves, leopards and jackals also dare not enter the water, making these wild boars very unhappy.

 Chen Ling decided to teach them a lesson.

Let’s take a look at what mysteries are hidden around the pond.

 Chen Ling's marksmanship is very accurate.

Aim first at the deer group and knock down a grass deer with one shot...

Heiwa Xiaojin rushed forward. When the weasels caught up with the deer on Heiwa's back, they also jumped on the back of the sika deer one by one, and then showed off their skills.

Erbaldy was not to be outdone. After the wild boars were disturbed by the gunshots, he flew toward the pond. His sharp claws left scars on the wild boars and blasted them out of the pond.

As soon as the wild boars came ashore, Chen Ling found the opportunity and fired again.

There were too many deer to eat, and wild boars were rare these days, and they hadn’t been eaten for a long time. Heiwa and his wife turned around and pounced on them, each stopped one, and then bit it after they got close to it.

For a moment, the deer in the forest screamed and the pigs screamed, mixed with Heiwa's roar of excitement when he tasted blood, creating a chaotic mess.

　　"If it weren't for the purpose of observing a little longer, I would have shot a few more wild sheep just now."

 Chen Ling was still mumbling after jumping down from the tree.

To be honest, he has never seen so many wild sheep since he was a child.

  And there are at least three different kinds of wild sheep.

 Even Chen Ling couldn't tell the difference clearly.

“But with a place like this, there will be many opportunities later, so let’s find out what’s going on first.”

 Chen Ling collected all the prey that fell by the pond and in the forest into the cave.

Heiwa Xiaojin hasn’t been hunting in the mountains for a long time.

 Today I saw so many prey dangling in front of me and endured so much time. Now I only harvested three wild boars and five wild deer. They obviously haven't had enough fun yet.

Even the five little weasels and the family were jumping up and down excitedly, trying to chase the prey.

Chen Ling still wanted to check the situation of the pond nearby, so he released them all.

 Let them go their separate ways to find prey.

 Wandering around this big pond alone.

 Then he discovered that the layout of this large pond was different from the large weir pond in the village.

There are actually several springs on the mountain wall on the south side.

 “There are so many springs.”

 Chen Ling carefully held a few handfuls in her hands and tried them one by one.

 It is still different from the spring on the mountain wall on the west side of my village.

 If that is an ice spring. These springs are relatively serious mountain springs.

“One, two, three, four…one mountain, five springs, three water outlets…”

Chen Ling counted and found that three of the five springs were producing water, while two were not producing water.

He boldly tasted it, but frowned...

“This water is so clear, why does it smell like tree roots?”

 Hands out as he says it.

The taste is so weird.

 I feel a little regretful.

 Mainly because I was afraid that so many wild animals would come to drink the water and leave feces and urine near the spring.

 After all, things like mountain donkeys and wild sheep can fly over walls and climb walls, so they can climb very high.

 Chen Ling frowned and looked around the place.

Even though this place is relatively high, there are still many footprints of wild animals.

 “There is another spring.”

 “There are seven now, right?”

Chen Ling continued to walk around this place.

Slowly, he remembered that he had been here before and had hunted squirrels on the opposite mountain. There was a valley between the two mountains, and the valley was also a beast trail.

 The footprints of the giant lynx have also been found.

 He has put a clamp here.

 As a result, I found two more springs on the way, and the water flow was very small.

 There are seven in total.

Walking around the mountain, climbing higher and higher, he ignored even the wolves and jackals peeking at him in the forest opposite.

 Just like that, he slowly returned to the original place, near the big pond.

This time he finally realized something was wrong.

So we quickly climbed up the mountain.

 It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon. The mountain breeze was refreshing and the vegetation on the mountain was lush and green.

The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the stream below the mountain is gurgling. On the mountainside, there are springs gurgling out and flowing into the ponds.

 It is originally a picturesque scene of green mountains, green waters and picturesque scenery.

 But Chen Ling had no time to appreciate these. He climbed to the top of the mountain and was a little shocked by the sight in front of him.

At the top of the mountain, a large pot-shaped pit appeared in front of him.

 It was as if someone had built a stove and set up a big pot on the top of the mountain.

The pit is full of jumbled stones and lush weeds, but there are very few trees in the pit.

Trees all grow on the edge of the pit.

That point below the edge...

Needless to say, it is a place where springs break out of the wall.

“It turns out that there are so many springs here because there are sinkholes on them…”

 Chen Ling felt that she finally discovered the truth: "The big tree took root at the edge, and the rainwater accumulated along the gap between the roots and broke out of the wall."

 “Huh? There are a lot of medicinal materials in this pit?”

 Chen Ling's eyes lit up and he forgot about the wild animals gathering here that he was still struggling with before. His attention was attracted by some herbs around and at the bottom of the pit.

He has good eyesight, and some rattan medicinal materials, such as Uncaria, are really lush.

 You can see it at a glance.

I even saw Ganoderma lucidum growing in many places on the rocks on the four walls of Dakeng.

There is no idle grass in the Qinling Mountains.

This trip was not in vain.

 …

Finding the sinkhole, Chen Ling was like a wild boar entering the vegetable field, harvesting the nearby medicinal materials for a while.

 But he was not too greedy to linger too long.

  It can come later anyway.

We set off on our way back in time before it got dark.

It gets dark early in the mountains, and it’s not until dusk after we leave the mountains.

Heiwa and the others also caught up with Chen Ling one after another and followed him back.

This time out, they each gained something.

Heiwa Xiaojin brought back two more grass deer.

The weasels also caught something, but they didn’t bring it back. The blood stains and hair on their mouths proved everything.

 The little ones are also very wild.

As for Er Baldy, he didn’t know where he saw the half-gnawed giant muntjac.

  In any case, deer harvest the most.

Chen Ling also took out a sika deer from the cave, carried it on his shoulders and returned home.

“Hey, Fugui came back so early from hunting this time.”

As soon as Chen Ling returned home, there were many people sitting in Zhuangzi.

 Several strange women sat around Wang Susu and looked at Chen Ling in surprise.

Lao Zhou and the other gentlemen were watching over Qin Rongxian and Wang Cunye, picking up some chestnuts, or helping to continue picking peppers.

“Yeah, it’s easier to hunt prey in the mountains this year.”

 Chen Ling responded, and Lao Zhou and the others followed him like doglegs and helped him catch the deer on his shoulders.

He also went to help him get his gun and the sack tied around his waist.

There were also those who went to Heiwa Xiaojin to help him with a smile, and the two of them also had prey in their mouths.

Grass deer are very heavy and they cannot carry them very far.

Chen Ling helped them carry them all the way, but when they got home, they refused to let Chen Ling help.

 You have to hold it in your own mouth.

 My own spoils of war. Are you tired?

You must hold it yourself.

Er Baldy also had the same virtue. He grabbed half of the big muntjac and flew it around in the sky before throwing it to the ground.

　　It makes people look up in wonder.

They are so proud of themselves.

“Holy shit, there are medicinal materials in this sack. There are so many medicinal materials, and there are such large pieces of Ganoderma lucidum... Oh my God, you are so rich.”

 When he opened the sack, someone exclaimed again.

The group of women couldn't help but look sideways.

One of the young women holding a baby looked familiar to Chen Ling.

But he didn’t think much about it, and just followed the words and said: “How can we make a fortune? It’s just this little thing. Okay, don’t look at it anymore. I have to go and remove the soil and get the plaque to hang up.”

 “Come on, come on, we’ll help you.”

They also found it interesting when they saw Chen Ling sitting on a wooden pillar handling these medicinal materials, so they gathered around to help.

The women over there couldn't help but look over and murmured in a low voice.

 Chen Ling, who was carrying a deer on his shoulders and a sack of herbs hanging from his waist, was still very novel to them.

At the same time, it is quite majestic to carry a dog and mount a hawk.

At this time, Chen Ling was packing the medicinal materials and remembered who the woman holding the baby was.

 Wang Susu’s old classmate, Niu Xiaoling.

　　From Fenglei Town, why did you come here?

 After listening to the two sentences there, I knew that Wang Susu was seeing a doctor with her child.

 Chen Ling said deliberately: "Susu, you have just given birth, why are you treating others?"

As an old couple, Wang Susu certainly knows what Chen Ling means.

He smiled helplessly at Chen Ling: "This is Xiaoling, my classmate, don't you recognize me? I came here today to hug Xiang Yuhua's baby."

 Chen Ling suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Xiang Yuhua? Does she still have the nerve to find you?"

Xiang Yuhua is the wife of that **** Wei Jun.

Wei Jun was transferred from Fenglei Town to the County Family Planning Commission, and he fell in love with a girl from the dance hall. He went to Yuhua to block people, and they made a big fuss, and the baby almost died.

At that time, Chen Ling also ran to the hospital every day. Wei Jun asked him to help find someone, but he didn't respond.

 Chen Ling thought later that it was probably this incident that made Wei Jun so stubborn.

This happened later.

It's strange that Chen Ling is not angry.

“She must have no face, otherwise how could she let Xiaoling come over.”

Wang Susu glanced at Chen Ling, and then said to Niu Xiaoling with a smile: "You are the same, Xiaoling. You still hid it from me when you came, saying it was your own child. If I hadn't seen that you were not pregnant, were you planning to hide it?" Why don’t you tell me?”

“Susu, Yuhua also feels bad and doesn’t dare to come to see you. She even said that writing you a letter has caused so much trouble to your family...

If it weren’t for the fact that she, the child, was really helpless, she..."

Niu Xiaoling is actually an honest person. Her face turned red all of a sudden and she didn't know how to explain it.

 I just feel that the more I talk, the more unclear I am.

 I regret even more that I just told the truth.

She didn't know that Wang Susu had learned from Sister Xiufen and had already mastered the skills of judging whether a woman is a yellow flower girl and whether a woman is pregnant or not.

　　When Wang Susu said she was not pregnant just now, she was shocked.

With a guilty conscience, I said anything.

"Don't worry, Xiaoling, it's rare for you to come here. Even if I look at your face, I still have to treat this little baby. If you say it's your child, I'll treat it as yours."

 The kid is right, so I just pretend I don’t know anything. "

“But Xiaoling, I’d better say my ugly words first. I don’t have much ability. The child’s disease is the most difficult to treat. I can’t see it well. Don’t rely on me to come and make trouble when the time comes…”

Wang Susu is still smiling.

 But it was even more embarrassing to Niu Xiaoling's ears, and she would definitely not even say it.

 Chen Ling was also a little surprised.

 Okay, my little daughter-in-law is also acting strangely, so she is making progress.

"In that case, I won't prescribe medicine to the little baby. The little baby is weak... Take a look at this little prescription and decide whether to use it or not..."

Wang Susu thought for a while and wrote a note.

  There is really no medicine prescribed.

 After this experience, Niu Xiaoling may never come again no matter how thick-skinned she is.
