My 1995 Small Farm.

"Okay, it's settled then. You have to get me a good horse before the end of the year. I'm looking forward to riding with you guys to hunt rabbits."

When Lynx saw that Chen Ling had agreed, he rubbed his hands together, relieved.

If someone else said that, and said it so casually, he might not believe it and would think they were just bragging.

Chen Ling is still quite trustworthy.

Lynx knew him well; although he liked to joke around, he wasn't the type to boast.

Furthermore, there are quite a few talented people on their side.

I won't go into detail about Sister-in-law Xiufen.

There was also an old veterinarian who treated livestock and an old mule and horse broker named Ba.

And an old horse-judging brush.

Finding a good horse shouldn't be difficult.

As for Yu Qi'an, he didn't think much of it, assuming that Yu Qi'an had made some gains in Fenglei Town.

……

Coincidentally.

We arrived in the city around 7 p.m.

The two prepared to eat and rest, and also let the horses rest and drink water.

The restaurant they chose was naturally Sun Yanhong's crayfish restaurant.

Since everyone here is an acquaintance, it's quite convenient to feed the horses and tigers.

Chen Ling had called her in advance beforehand, asking Sun Yanhong to come to the first store in the city first.

We can also talk about some things.

When the two arrived, they hadn't seen Sun Yanhong yet, but they saw other acquaintances first.

It was three people from the Journey to the West sequel crew, drinking with a young reporter from CCTV at the same table.

Upon seeing Chen Ling and the other person, they stood up and greeted them with delight.

Chen Ling was also surprised: "Oh ho, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you guys lately. Turns out you left a long time ago."

This group of people never lived in the village.

After finding Chen Ling, the three members of the Journey to the West crew went to the county government to find someone to arrange for the capture of the turtle's appearance, hoping to use it as a filming location for the Tongtian River.

We don't know what will happen next.

The junior reporters from CCTV seemed more like they were just there for show.

He came alone.

There wasn't even a film crew that accompanied them on their business trips.

Chen Ling didn't ask him what he was there for.

Later, he disappeared as well.

"No, we didn't leave. We were lucky a while ago. After I told you about that, we filmed the Turtle King in the rain. After filming, we went to the provincial capital to see how the footage could be processed."

The results just came out in the last couple of days.

When the two men and one woman from the Journey to the West crew saw Chen Ling leading a horse, they were all surprised: "Brother Chen, you didn't come to the city on horseback again, did you?"
Last time we chased you in our car, we couldn't catch up.

You're riding so fast and going such a long distance, can the horse handle it?
Look at it, it's sweating so much.

Well, another one asking about this.

Chen Ling didn't say much, only that the horse had good stamina and was suitable for long-distance travel.

However, he did deliberately train and hone the little blue horse while he was on the road.

When the little blue horse seemed tired, it would be sped up again.

Anyway, with the spiritual water nourishing it, there won't be any hidden injuries or hidden dangers.

He was really pushing the horse to its limits.

The little green horse was indeed impressive, worthy of the spiritual water it drank and the spiritual fruit it ate.

This time the speed was just as fast as, if not slower than, the last time.

"You guys eat first. We've come here to take the tiger back to the zoo."

Chen Ling pointed to the car behind them, where two large cats with glowing green eyes peered out from the dark interior.

The car was cramped, and Afu and Ashou had been feeling cooped up all day and wanted to get out and stretch their legs.

"There are a lot of people eating here, so we need to drive the car into the back yard."

"Oh, okay, you brought the tiger back. Alright, we're free tomorrow, we'll go to the zoo with you."

The four were very enthusiastic.

Just then, Sun Yanhong saw Chen Ling come out of the shop, and Chen Ling asked Sun Yanhong to add two dishes to their table.

People traveled a long way to ask him to act in Journey to the West.

He hadn't even had time to keep the person at home and provide them with a meal before.

This is all we can do to show our hospitality.

We had a simple dinner at 8 p.m.

At the dinner table, I talked with Sun Yanhong about our detailed plans after the crayfish craze subsided in the cold weather.

Chen Ling also brought a recipe this time.

Both hot pot and hanging pot are acceptable.

Sun Yanhong suggested adding some wild game.

These days, whether you're a nouveau riche or an upper-middle-class elite, there are plenty of people who enjoy eating wild game.

Chen Ling thought about the scenery in the mountains.

I think it's a bit too early to allow people to eat wild animals now.

"Still the original plan, eat whatever you have in abundance first. This year, let's try bamboo rats first, and I'll have someone bring some snakes and wild boars from Fenglei Town."

This year, there are many wild boars and snakes in the mountains around Fenglei Town.

Actually, there are many wild sheep and deer as well.

However, consuming too much of either of these can easily cause problems.

Wild boars are fine.

You can eat this stuff without worry, you'll recover very quickly.

Regardless of the circumstances, a large population can be created in a year.

"Alright then, I thought you could conjure up dragon liver, phoenix gall, and bear paw for me."

Sun Yanhong joked.

"Good heavens, what do you take me for? A celestial being? A culinary master?"

Chen Ling rolled her eyes: "None of these will work, but my red-lipped barbs and fine-scaled fish are swarming everywhere. You can find a seafood truck to haul them away."

That stuff tastes far better than most wild game.

Upon hearing this, Lynx wiped his mouth with one hand and raised the other: "I can vouch for it, there are definitely a lot, so many fish that they're jumping out."

Sun Yanhong clapped her hands with delight, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Oh my, Fugui, it's rare for you to be so generous. I'll arrange for someone to pick it up tomorrow morning."

Chen Ling doesn't come to the city very often.

Sun Yanhong wanted to talk to him again about opening a new store.

But Ah Fu and Ah Shou in the backyard wouldn't have it and started growling in a low voice.

They were bored in the car today and wanted to go out for a stroll.

Moreover, in the village, it rained for eight or ten days in a row, and they couldn't go out and stayed in their nests to sleep.

They've finally been released.

They also vaguely knew that they would soon have to return to the zoo.

Just like elementary school students before the start of the school year, they seize the time to have fun.

"Alright, let's not talk about that today. Let's see if there are still many people outside. If not, let's go take the tiger for a walk."

Chen Ling got up, walked to the window, opened it, and waved to the two tigers to stop them from roaring.

A little while later, someone else called the police.

Lynx stood up and said, "It's cooler now, and there aren't many people around. But walking tigers in the city is too conspicuous. Let's go to my dog ​​farm. It's spacious, has an orchard, and we can take them hunting small prey."

"That's okay too."

Chen Ling thought it made sense, so he didn't linger any longer.

I went downstairs to get the car, ready to go to the dog farm outside the city with Lynx.

When I went outside, I was surprised to find that the three men and one woman from the Journey to the West film crew, along with a reporter from CCTV, were still having dinner downstairs.

Eating and chatting in this environment definitely makes you eat and chat slowly.

Besides, Chen Ling even added extra dishes for him.

Seeing Chen Ling and the others come out, and learning that they had gone to a dog farm in the suburbs to walk tigers, the four of them became interested and insisted on going with them.

They're driving too, and since they have nothing to do at night, they might as well go along. These four aren't the kind of people with strange tempers who were sent out on assignment.

Chen Ling and the other man had no objections and went with them to the dog farm in the suburbs.

When you arrive at a dog farm or any place with lots of dogs...

The imposing presence of the two tigers, Ah Fu and Ah Shou, was then revealed.

When you're in the city center, it's crowded and lively, so it's not as noticeable.

Upon arriving at the suburbs where the dog farm was located, the quiet and deserted night made the situation all the more striking, creating a stark contrast. Even before Afu and Ashou got out of the car, the dogs at the farm fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

The four people who followed couldn't help but marvel at the tiger's power.

Chen Ling and the lynx knew that this was because Afu and Ashou had seen blood several times in the mountains, and had gradually developed a murderous aura.

Just like a soldier, the difference between someone who has been on the battlefield and someone who hasn't is like heaven and earth.

It is especially noticeable in animals.

After that, we went into the dog farm to see the puppies born to the Xiangxi Red Wolf, the one that was with the lynx.

Red Wolf was bred with Er Mao, the little male dog at Chen Ling's house.

Chen Ling jokingly remarked that a young man from a mountain village had fallen in love with a young woman from the city.

However, only one of their offspring survived.

The other one died young.

However, the puppy that survived is also very beautiful.

It's a mixture of the red of Red Wolf and the gray of Gray Wolf like Er Mao.

The lynx said this could be called "mountain ox red".

To put it simply, it's a small, brownish-red dog, even its nose is brownish-red. Its color is unique, without any other colors, and it's quite good-looking.

The puppy is now full-term and can run.

The big dogs were so frightened by Afu and Ashou that they shrank back into their cages and kennels.

But this little thing doesn't know fear.

Wherever the man and the tiger went, the tiger followed.

"Wider than a wolfhound's head, and like a tiger's head, it has a big head, like a big cat's head. When it grows up, it will probably look like a brown bear, not a wolfhound."

The lynx said this with a smile.

He was clearly very pleased with the puppy.

"That's good too. I can breed it with my gray wolfhound later and see what kind of puppies they can have."

Chen Ling noticed that the puppy was a male, while the dog at home, Mouse Gray, was a female, so she planned to give it to Wang Qingzhong to raise.

We're all family here. Once the puppy grows up, it'll be easy to find a dog for it.

"Haha, great minds think alike, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

The lynx laughed loudly.

The two were talking about dogs.

The four men, however, kept their eyes glued to the two tigers.

I want to see how a tiger will react when it comes to a place with so many dogs.

The result.

Naturally, none of the dogs dared to move from beginning to end.

After that, Lynx took everyone to see the deep-sea turtles he kept in his turtle pond.

The so-called turtle pond is just a pool built in a corner of the dog farm, under a few trees, right next to the toilet.

There are no fences or railings, and the dog can drink water regularly.

Chen Ling already knew that he kept turtles here.

Back then, I didn't have a fish tank, and I didn't plan to keep deep-sea turtles, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

I'll come and take a look now.

The lynx has quite a few turtles, and there are also a lot of small fish and shrimp in the tank for the turtles to eat.

I put some in every now and then.

Feeding turtles a buffet.

"You're doing alright. I thought that after you stopped keeping fish and started keeping turtles, you would just take these turtles out of the tank and leave them aside. I didn't expect you to still remember to feed them."

Chen Ling used the flashlight given to him by the lynx to shine into the pond to look at the turtles.

Under the light, dark shadows appeared in the water, drifting everywhere or remaining still.

An ordinary person's eyes cannot see clearly in this situation.

Chen Ling could see them clearly, but he didn't recognize any of the turtles.

He only knew the Chinese pond turtle and the red-eared slider. He only recently learned the scientific name of the yellow-margined box turtle, as he previously only knew it as the wheat field turtle.

As for other turtles, he couldn't even distinguish the flower turtle, one of the three most common turtles.

That's why I wasn't really interested in this before.

"Look at what you're saying. I went through so much trouble to find this turtle, even if I don't want to keep it properly anymore, or I'm not so obsessed with it anymore, I can't just leave it aside and ignore it."

It's just a matter of feeding them some small fish and shrimp.

"You can easily scoop up handfuls of these from the river over by the orchard; it's effortless."

The lynx rolled its eyes at him.

Afu and Ashou stood on either side of Chen Ling, watching the turtle's shadow sway back and forth in the water, and curiously reached out with their paws to scoop it up.

Then it stared at the water's surface, trying to bite it with its mouth and lick it with its tongue.

In the end, naturally, they got nothing.

"These turtles are easy to raise. As for the fish, I gave the rest to Professor Feng Yi, except for the ones I could eat. He was very generous. I raised fish for several years and even made a profit in the end."

The lynx chuckled and said, "If you don't want to raise them anymore, or if you raise some really good fish, just look for Professor Feng Yi, and he'll definitely come and get them."

Chen Ling nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Just because they gave me those two fish tanks, I'll definitely call them over to see any good fish I catch in the future.

This mustachioed professor is a fish-keeping enthusiast.

He had already seen it all.

"Since my turtles were taken out of the tank and kept outdoors, they have become increasingly unruly. Before, they would float up to beg for food when people came, but now, as you can see, they hide when they see people."

They all huddled at the bottom of the pool, hiding in the corners and refusing to come out.

Let's come over tomorrow during the day, and I'll fish them out for you. You can pick a few you like to take home.

I can't see anything clearly now.

"Okay, come over during the day. It's time to take Afu and Ashou out for a stroll."

Chen Ling nodded. Actually, he already had a turtle he liked, but there was no rush. He would come back tomorrow during the day to send Afu and Ashou back, which would make it easier for him to move around.

After that, they followed the lynx out of the dog farm, locked the gate, and the two groups of people, a car, a horse, a mountain motorcycle, and two tigers followed behind, went to the orchard on the slope.

This orchard belongs to a nearby village collective and is unattended at night.

They drove straight into the orchard.

As soon as they entered the orchard, Afu and Ashou became excited, darting back and forth in the tall grass under the trees, hunting small animals and pheasants.

In places like this, pheasants are the most abundant food, to say the least.

Especially in the ditches along the edge of the orchard, the grass is deep and there is not much water, enough to hide twenty or thirty pheasants.

Usually, there are a few males, leading a large group of females hiding inside.

Knowing the situation, Lynx turned off the motorcycle lights and specifically asked the four men to turn on the car's headlights.

Once the light shone on them, the pheasants stopped moving, making it very easy for Afu and Ashou to catch them after they rushed in.

Basically, they can catch anyone with a single successful arrest.

The two little tigers really had their fill.

You can enjoy a delicious meal and have a great time playing games.

Extremely happy.

Chen Ling and his group had a good catch and were happy.

Walking a tiger hunting dog is simply not as exhilarating or exciting as using a dog hunting dog.

Once you start playing, you don't notice the time passing.

Two hours were about to pass quickly.

The four men who had come by car were now in high spirits after receiving the prey given to them by Chen Ling.

They took out their filming equipment and had one person set it up on the roof of the car to film the tiger hunting using the car's headlights.

At first, they couldn't film anything well, but after they loosened up, they had no problem. They got more and more enthusiastic as they filmed, with three men and one woman taking turns. They claimed that they would be able to film animal documentaries like those in foreign countries in the future.

Chen Ling and his group were having a great time.

The sounds of motorcycle and car engines came from down the slope, followed by the headlights of the vehicles.

Two beams of light crossed and shone into the orchard, casting shadows everywhere.

Soon, a car and a motorcycle drove towards them.

After stopping a short distance away, several people walked over and laughed loudly: "I knew it! It must be Zhong Laosan and Brother Chen who released their dogs here. Otherwise, other people's dogs wouldn't have this much power. It must be Brother Chen's dog king that scared our dogs so much that they didn't dare to move."

As they were talking, Afu and Ashou rushed out from the ditch at the edge of the orchard, each carrying a pheasant in their beaks.

These people only thought that Chen Ling and his group were just letting their dogs roam around, unaware that there was something else going on.

Little did they know that Chen Ling and his group were actually walking a tiger.

The moment the two striped tigers leaped out of the ditch, the men's pupils dilated in shock, and they were stunned into silence.

For a moment, they even forgot to run away.

They were stunned for about ten seconds until someone yelled "Tiger!" and ran away. Only then did they gradually come to their senses. But they wanted to run, but they were too scared to run away.
