My 1995 Small Farm.

The villagers of Chenwangzhuang were panicked and at a loss.

Villagers in several villages near Chenwangzhuang were also panicking and at a loss.

Li Zhongyi and Chishima Miyoko, the two Japanese soldiers, were not only flustered and at a loss, but also very scared.

The villagers were panicked and at a loss because they feared that the Turtle King might no longer protect the local area.

The two of them are different.

They came face to face with the monster, and were so scared they almost jumped out of their skin.

At that time, they weren't even on the Jinshui River where the water monster was flying, but just wandering around the Nansha River in the county town.

A while ago, in an effort to please Garlic and the other old turtles, they went to Chen Ling's house to buy fish, spending quite a bit of money.

The fish and shrimp outside the farm are all 30 yuan per jin (500g).

Not to mention the prices at the farm, they were all shocked by them.

They had spent over ten thousand yuan in just a few days, and their hearts were pounding with anxiety.

In addition, those old turtles with garlic have huge appetites.

If you feed them too much, they'll want to eat more and more.

The seafood from those farms was indeed extremely delicious.

The islanders, who are used to eating raw seafood, all found it to be delicious.

It's many times better than the food in their own country.

The price is fair to say it's good value for money.

But...

It is true that things are worth their price.

It's not something the two of them can afford to consume every day.

But it's not good to not maintain relationships with the big shots.

We'll have to find another way.

They had originally planned to go to the provincial capital to contact a 'friend' to borrow money.

Who knew that after arriving in the provincial capital, this friend from university, who had been with them for many years, would give them a big surprise.

They've actually come up with two pretty good appetite stimulants.

It can be used both on and underwater.

Some palatability enhancers are addictive, while others are not.

Initially, it was to rescue some endangered wild animals.

Both terrestrial and aquatic species are included.

Otherwise, if we want to protect them and help them reproduce, how can we do it if these precious creatures are picky eaters and can't eat?
Later, they entered the breeding and animal husbandry industry, adding some to animal feed.

It works wonders for poultry stress and livestock weaning difficulties. It's effective immediately. If a animal has a poor appetite, it will eat this quickly and won't affect its ability to be sold for profit.

So the initial intentions behind the development of this thing were all good.

It all depends on who gets to use it.

The two Japanese devils' eyes lit up as soon as they heard about the food attractant.

I quickly asked a friend to get some special kind of appetite stimulant.

To put it in a more exaggerated way... it's like using a so-called aroma-enhancing bait for fishing. The original fragrance spreads from a radius of ten meters to a radius of ten miles, attracting all the fish and shrimp. Fish within a ten-mile radius have nowhere to escape.

I tried it out in the rivers and lakes near the provincial capital, and the results were simply amazing.

So the two Japanese soldiers rushed back excitedly, unwilling to stay in the city any longer.

I fantasize about feeding the turtles fish and shrimp mixed with attractants, or just chopping the fish into large pieces and adding some other ingredients; they'd definitely love it.

The results will certainly be no worse than the fish and shrimp from Chen Ling's farm.

The turtles will surely become more familiar with the two of them soon.

The result was that the expectation was wonderful, but the reality was tragic.

The two Japanese devils increased the dosage of the drug and fed it along the river, and that's when the trouble started.

The attractant was quite effective, but throwing in the fish meat didn't attract the turtle...

They lured the water monster out.

Moreover, the water monster, affected by the special attractant, became unusually agitated underwater.

They attacked ships on the water everywhere.

They didn't even want to spare the people on the shore.

Li Zhongyi and Qiandao Miyoko were terrified by the sight of the water monster rushing out of the water.

Fortunately, although the monster capsized many boats, it ultimately did not harm the lives of the locals.

But injuries are absolutely inevitable.

Otherwise, those two Japanese devils would have committed a grave sin.

However, they certainly don't have that awareness.

I'm just glad I survived.

After running back to the village, Li Zhongyi ran into Chen Ling, who was chatting with people at the village entrance with his dog and prey. Li Zhongyi even went to Chen Ling with a distressed expression to complain.

"There's a monster in the water. The old folks in the village aren't kidding; there really is a monster. Brother Chen, you didn't see it. That monster is much bigger than the Turtle King; it's a monster like a dragon."

It really looks like a dragon. If you don't believe me, ask Miyoko. Its back is exactly like the back of the Chinese dragon in the painting, covered in scales, exactly the same..."

Regardless of what those two Japanese devils were thinking, it was clear that Li Zhongyi was genuinely frightened this time.

Chishima Miyoko, her face also deathly pale with terror, said, "Boss Chen, I can guarantee that what Li Zhongyi said is true. We saw it with our own eyes, right there on the spot. That monster in the water almost rushed onto the shore and tried to eat us, right there in the Nansha River..."

"Nansha River? Isn't it said that a water monster is causing trouble in the Jinshui River?"

Chen Ling frowned upon hearing this: "You two are really something. Don't you Japanese often hunt whales? You've seen whales before, so why are you afraid of the monsters in our inland rivers and lakes?"

Chishima Miyoko shook her head repeatedly: "It's different, it's different, Mr. Chen. That monster looks just like a dragon, very similar. It might also be able to grow big or small, rise or hide. But it's not like that in the sea. How can a whale compare to a dragon?"

Wow, you guys are pretty knowledgeable.

Should I give you a thumbs up for your profound understanding of traditional Chinese culture?

Lian Long could be big or small, rise or hide, and he could say it all.

Chen Ling suddenly didn't know how to complain.

To be honest, Xiao Rizi's research on Chinese culture is more in-depth than that of many Chinese experts.

Even if you delve too deeply into the research, your intentions are still malicious.

Otherwise, Chen Ling would truly have to be filled with respect.

"Didn't Fugui used to dislike getting close to those two Japanese devils? His father-in-law also hated them the most, and wouldn't even let that boy, who was Fugui's pen pal, into the house. How come he's chatting with him today?"

"Oh dear, have you forgotten? A while ago, Fugui was harassed at home in the county town at night... These two Japanese devils were the first to see it and helped with the attack."

Fu Gui appreciates this kindness; he can't very well ignore someone who tries to talk to him.

"Oh right, there was such a thing. I completely forgot about it. So, do you think what those two Japanese devils said is true? That the monster in the water is also the son of the Dragon King?"

"That's hard to say, otherwise why didn't Prince Turtle come out?"

"But even if it is, it's bad. The Turtle King will protect us. This monster even capsized our villagers' boats and hurt people." "That's true. Only the Turtle King is the best. May he bless our village to earn so much money this year and harvest more grain than in previous years, more than other villages."

"Yes, yes, yes, Prince Turtle is the best. Prince Turtle can't leave."

"..."

The sun was about to set when Chen Ling returned from his walk around the mountains. The villagers on the slope had not yet dispersed.

It's rare to have any big news in the countryside. Once people start talking about it, they get so excited that they forget to cook dinner. Who would want to go home then?

Chen Ling didn't say anything more to the two Japanese soldiers.

He didn't chat much with the villagers.

The turtle king was raised by him.

He knows what's going on, whether there's a problem or not.

He's even had direct encounters with the water monster more than once.

I know that strange fish is indeed quite powerful.

However, as the water level drops further in late autumn, it will eventually retreat out of the water, so there's no need to worry too much.

So they tied up a few wild boar piglets with straw rope, called their father-in-law who was herding sheep and cattle on the other side of the slope, and walked home together.

However, there was something strange about those two Japanese devils today.

First, Erhei circled around them and sniffed them.

Later, when Chen Ling reached the village entrance, Heiwa and Xiaojin looked at them with a strange expression.

It's not quite the same as usual.

But it didn't bark or show any ferocious or frightening side.

The main problem was that the two Japanese soldiers were terrified today. Their faces were pale and they looked like quails in fear, posing no threat whatsoever.

There's no need for Heiwa and the others to be overly wary of them.

To say that the two Japanese devils harbored ill intentions and were malicious is an understatement.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, while the two dogs are intelligent and alert, they can't read minds.

"These two are quite strange. The woman used to speak Mandarin very poorly, but today she looks flustered and speaks much more fluently than Brother Wu Fei and the others who usually speak Mandarin. She even speaks more fluently."

Chen Ling helped his father-in-law lead a restless packhorse, talking as they walked.

"Hmph, what good people are those Japanese devils? It's only because our people are kind-hearted that we don't allow a single one of them to come to our country. They want to live in our village, not a single one of them is good."

Wang Cunye said with a stern face.

But Chen Ling suddenly remembered something.

I remembered that when Little Sheep came to the village a few days ago, he said that he had seen Li Zhongyi and another person in the provincial capital. It seemed that those two Japanese devils were going to the provincial university at that time.

Let's not talk about what I'm going to do at the provincial university yet.

They must have just returned to Lingyun not long ago, at most two or three days ago.

He laughed and said, "These two Japanese are really unlucky. They came here and are not only disliked by the villagers, but also hated by everyone. This time they almost got eaten by a water monster."

He didn't think much of the idea that the water monster was caused by the Japanese.

The main reason is that he had dealt with that strange fish before.

They knew how powerful that strange fish was.

My immediate thought was that the Japanese devils didn't have the ability to get involved with that strange fish.

So I just think those two Japanese guys are really unlucky.

"It would be better if they were eaten by the water monster. Those bastards, those heartless scoundrels, how many of our people did they kill during the war?"

Because of his father and elder brother's affairs, Wang Cunye couldn't help but curse whenever the topic of the Japanese came up.

A few days ago, I didn't even want Chen Ling to sell the fish.

It was Gao Xiulan who said that her son-in-law was asking for an exorbitant price, and he didn't say anything then, though he was still very unwilling.

Chen Ling quickly comforted him, "Dad, we're almost home. Let's not talk about this now. Otherwise, if Mom and Susu see your face, they'll think something's happened to us."

"Oh, Daddy, little pig!"

As soon as we got home, Rui Rui ran over to us.

He saw the baby wild boar that Chen Ling was carrying.

Shen Jiayi ran up behind, her long, black ponytail swinging as she looked like a vibrant young woman: "Rui Rui, don't run, it's your turn. I just measured your height, but I haven't weighed you yet."

Behind the young lady, a group of mischievous monkeys, including Liu Nier, also ran over to grab Rui Rui.

Rui Rui screamed in fright and hid behind Chen Ling.

"My dear, tell Grandpa, what are you playing?" When Wang Cunye saw his eldest grandson, all his unpleasantness disappeared, and he smiled as he bent down, holding the sheep whip.

Rui Rui's eyes lit up, and she pointed her little hand toward Shen Jiayi: "Sister is bad, she hit Rui Rui."

"It's 'arrest,' not 'beat,'" Shen Jiayi quickly corrected.

"I heard from Sister Susu that you weighed the little leopard, but you didn't have time to weigh the little muntjac. This afternoon, when we had nothing to do, we weighed the two little muntjacs as well."

Of course, Rui Rui couldn't be let off the hook either.

"Hey, he's still young, he changes every day, there's no need to measure his height or weigh him. I already talked to your sister Susu about this this morning, there's no need."

Chen Ling shook his head, saying that a child as young as Rui Rui, only one or two years old, doesn't need to have his height and weight measured.

It grows fast, and changes too fast.

It's really not worth using as a reference.

However, when he saw the brat hiding behind him, his neck hunched over, looking a little scared and timid, yet also grinning mischievously and excitedly, he rolled his eyes and said, "But, it's not necessary, but if you guys think it's interesting, we can weigh the brat too."

After saying that, he grabbed the little thief behind him and pulled him up, which earned him an excited and thrilling scream.

"Uncle Fugui, Uncle Fugui, we want to be weighed too, we want to be weighed too."

"Yes, we haven't been weighed since we started school."

"That's right, among us, only Piglet has ever been weighed. His family raises pigs, and when his father sells pigs, they are often weighed, and he is weighed too."

"..."

"Good heavens, the way you're talking sounds like you're cursing someone. If your Uncle Lishan heard this, he'd beat you up. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were calling him a pig."

Chen Ling chuckled and said.

"Of course not, Uncle Lishan is called Old Pig."

"Huh? Hahahaha, you bunch of mischievous monkeys, Dad, look at them, they're much more mischievous than the other kids in the village, aren't they?"

"Yeah, it's much more fun with more mischief."

The father-in-law also walked over with a smile, put down the sheep whip, and said: "Come on, let me weigh you too, first weigh this rascal Rui Rui."

Xizi knows many characters, so he'll keep count for us.

As soon as the old man spoke, the children jumped and danced with excitement.

Watching from the side, Shen Jiayi, a young woman in her early twenties, also felt her childlike side awaken, her face flushed, and she joined in the commotion. (End of Chapter)
