My 1995 Small Farm.

Chen Ling was full of wicked ideas and wanted to deal with Dayan, so you can't really blame him.

It was after he caught the wild geese last time.

He thought himself very clever, having come up with the idea of ​​lying in the wheat field to deceive the geese.

In the end, I gained so much.

If word gets out, wouldn't that make him more impressive than any veteran hunter?

So, while picking up and dropping off Wang Zhenzhen at school, he went to the county to call Shanmao and the others to show off.

Then...

I was a bit discouraged.

Since he was fifteen or sixteen, Lynx had been following Professor Han around everywhere. He told Chen Ling that there were even stranger ways to catch geese on the grasslands.

I just casually told Chen Ling a few stories.

Chen Ling said she didn't understand, but was deeply shocked.

Indeed, there were some things he genuinely didn't understand.

For example, if someone catches geese, they drive out herds of cattle and sheep, which naturally attracts a large flock of geese to land.

It is said that many of the geese's habitats are adjacent to pastures, and they often roam among the cattle and sheep in the pastures while foraging.

Seeing cattle and sheep evokes a sense of familiarity, even during migration; and then, if they see cattle and sheep halfway through the journey, they will stop to rest.

This left Chen Ling completely baffled.

I've always wanted to give it a try.

There are many other, simpler methods, such as making many fake geese and using them as bait in wheat fields.

Or use some smelly foods, etc.

Some are similar to catching pheasants, and are quite common.

Some of them are quite novel.

Chen Ling had always wanted to try using it on geese.

The perfect opportunity has come along.

You can try to attract geese to play with you, and you can also kill the growth of wheat seedlings.

As for how Chen Ling managed to communicate with the lynx who was conducting scientific research in Yunnan and Guizhou.

There is a reason for this, of course.

Although Lynx was on a scientific expedition with the team, his wife was pregnant, so he would call home as soon as he arrived at a location to exchange contact information and would call home on a fixed date.

Chen Ling would occasionally chat with Lynx and Professor Han about their recent situations.

The lynx was nothing special, but Professor Han always had a lot to say, saying that Yunnan and Guizhou were places that Xu Xiake lingered in and that Wang Yangming attained enlightenment, and that they truly lived up to their reputation.

"Enough said. It's raining heavily and it's completely dark. Everyone should hurry back, eat when they're hungry, and sleep when they're tired. I'll take care of this matter for now."

Chen Ling glanced at the rain and, seeing no sign of it letting up, quickly told the villagers to go back to the village.

We can discuss the wheat issue later; everything is negotiable.

...After a long autumn of drought, this rain is not going to end so easily.

It rained for another two days before stopping.

Take advantage of this rain.

The two Japanese soldiers hurriedly slipped away. This place was too mysterious and unfriendly to them; they needed to find a chance to leave quickly...

They were afraid that they really wouldn't be able to leave in the future.

Besides the Japanese devils, the house that Wang Laochou's family had just built on the slope also collapsed.

It wasn't exactly a complete collapse; rather, the soil on the slope was too loose, and the foundation wasn't properly laid, so it crumbled in the rain.

Based on Wang Laochou's previous personality...

They'll probably hold the construction team hostage, not only refusing to pay their wages but also forcing them to pay compensation.

But this time, he didn't utter a single word.

He's not like an honest person anymore.

Others, unaware of the situation, were all surprised and astonished, feeling as if the sun had risen in the west.

Old Wang himself felt incredibly fortunate.

He also felt that he had offended Chen Ling, and that he had offended the tiger in Chen Ling's family, but he had not been able to escape the consequences.

He felt uneasy.

This time, with a section of the wall collapsing, he felt much more at ease.

It's a difficult idea to evaluate and quite incomprehensible.

But this is a true reflection of Wang Laochou's inner thoughts.

The morning after the rain was foggy again, but the air was even fresher.

Chen Ling noticed that the little blue horse had become much more well-behaved in the past two days. Not only did it stop sneaking out of the livestock pen, but it was also very obedient and affectionate. It was very gentle when it saw him, and even when it saw the old lady in the family and little kids like Rui Rui, it would peek out its head to greet them, as if asking to be petted.

This was simply impossible before.

Besides Chen Ling, the only other person in the house that the dog found pleasing to the eye was Wang Zhenzhen, that mischievous monkey, so it allowed her to play with him alone.

Even if it's someone like Wang Susu, it would resist if Chen Ling wasn't by its side.

Little Green Horse knows to make improvements.

Chen Ling was very surprised and delighted, so he took it out while herding geese in the morning.

Then, carrying a whip, he drove a flock of geese to the wheat field to eat the wheat seedlings.

While preparing to herd the geese, I went to give the little blue horse a bath.

That horse was such a jerk before; we didn't take care of it, and it would often run off and go anywhere. Plus, it smelled terrible from the sweat, so it should have been given a bath a long time ago.

If it weren't for the fact that it always annoys people, Chen Ling would have given it a nice, fragrant bath long ago.

After the rain, the wheat fields were muddy, so Chen Ling didn't go into the fields. Instead, he followed the path, wading through the thin mist, watching the wild geese go to the wheat fields to eat the wheat seedlings.

He had gotten up very early, and Erhei and the others had gotten up even earlier, having already completed a patrol outside the village.

Seeing him herding geese here, they led their pack of dogs over from afar, looking very excited.

When Chen Ling ran up to them and took a look, he realized why they were so happy.

It turns out that a few new members joined today.

It was a few dogs from the village, and two dogs belonging to Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng. "Good, good, it seems your militia has expanded again."

Chen Ling smiled and patted Erhei's head. This dog was looking more and more like Heiwa lately.

If it weren't for the white crescent moon on her chest...

With its wide head, big ears, wide nose, and wide mouth, it's a perfect replica of Heiwa.

It is far less imposing and majestic than Heiwa.

Although Heiwa has a simple and honest personality, he can be really fierce when he gets angry, and he often goes into the mountains to fight and kill large prey.

It's something Erhei can't compare to.

Besides, Erhei is a shrewd manager who worries a lot and has a soft heart.

It didn't even grow up like a first-generation wolfhound pup.

It actually has a bit of a companion dog or guard dog feel to it.

He has a mild temperament and lacks the wolfishness of others. He is especially fond of children and worries about them a lot.

And it's not the kind of care they show to their little master, Rui Rui.

It loves all the little kids in the village.

Therefore, Chen Ling sometimes felt that dogs like Erhei were hard to figure out and hard to define.

Because you really have no idea what's going on in its head.

The puppy Erhei brought was very excited to see Chen Ling.

He had never seen some of the puppies before, and didn't know whose dogs they were; they were probably only a little over two months old, less than three months old.

The two puppies belonging to Wang Lixian and Wang Jusheng also circled around him, barking in their babyish voices, wagging their tails, frolicking and playing around his legs, and occasionally jumping on his legs and biting his trouser legs.

"Alright, alright, you guys go back to playing. Erhei, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take these kids away, or I'll be in trouble with my pants later."

Chen Ling couldn't simply avoid the puppy's affection.

But the little creatures are so energetic that if we don't chase them away soon, they'll chew up my pants.

When Chen Ling was a child, his father told him that dogs that bite trouser legs are likely to become hunting dogs.

He now knows a bit about hunting dogs, but has never verified them.

I'll try again when I have the chance.

With so many dogs in the Lynx's kennel, they're bound to be able to find the right one by trying them out.

I'll write another article about hunting dogs and dog ownership later.

Another piece of writing submitted, just to build up some experience, couldn't be more comfortable.

"Sigh, all these goose droppings are soaked and rotten. It seems they definitely won't come out when it rains."

Chen Ling's mind was wandering to random thoughts, but when he saw the goose droppings in the wheat field, he couldn't help but wonder where those geese would stay at night when it rained.

He's been wanting to see this for the past two days.

As he led his horse and herded the geese up the slope, Ah Fu and Ah Shou, who had been sleeping in, emerged from their den and ran over.

The roads were muddy after the rain.

The two silly tigers soon had their paws covered in a thick layer of mud.

It ran to Chen Ling's side, tilted its head back, and made soft "woof woof" sounds while constantly lifting its feet.

The mud was too sticky, and it kept sticking to them, which made them very uncomfortable.

"Come on, let's go to the river and I'll wash your feet."

Chen Ling waved his hand, about to lead them to the riverbank.

However, Ah Fu was very obedient. He endured the discomfort in his feet and walked along, occasionally shaking his hoof as he struggled to keep up.

Ah Shou, the little male tiger, was even more pretentious than Ah Fu. He refused to move and just kept howling, trying to get Chen Ling to remove the mud from his feet.

Chen Ling almost laughed in anger upon seeing this.

He stuck the whip into the ground, turned around, grabbed Ah Shou by one ear, and dragged him up the slope. Ah Shou immediately let out an even more pitiful howl.

This made the little green horse twitch its lips, grinning with its big white teeth, and start laughing.

Chen Ling sensed something and looked up in confusion...

The little blue horse looked obedient, blinking its clear, bright eyes, and then gently nuzzled his shoulder with its head.

"Ah Shou, look how much better Xiao Qing has changed. You're a grown man, a real man, why are you so spoiled? You're always playing with Ah Fu, you're nowhere near as good as Ah Fu."

Ah Shou still didn't react after hearing this, and continued to scream in agony, his four legs stiff and refusing to move.

Upon hearing the praise, Afu immediately leaped over, grabbed A Shou's front leg, and helped Chen Ling drag A Shou up the slope.

Seeing this, the little blue horse proudly flicked its tail and trotted along with light, quick steps.

This little muddy path is a piece of cake for that little blue horse, isn't it? That silly tiger is really stupid, just plain dumb.

"Fugui, Fugui, come quickly, I just wanted to talk to you about something."

Yu Qi'an walked over in a hurry and waved to Chen Ling as soon as he saw her.

"What's wrong? It's so early in the morning, I was just about to give Little Blue Horse a bath."

Chen Ling had just squatted down by the river and washed Afu's paws. He was about to give the little green horse a bath, but he deliberately left the spoiled little male tiger, Ashou, until last.

"It's been raining these past two days, and two birds flew into your kitchen to take shelter from the rain. They're red-billed jays... But these two red-billed jays look a little different. I want to take a look. What if I find a treasure? Maybe they're the best of the best among red-billed jays? Wouldn't that be a huge windfall?"

Yu Qi'an's eyes lit up; he was very excited.

At this time, he was naturally not yet Yu Qi'an who had evolved into his complete form.

The possibility of finding a bargain or making a fortune is enough to excite him beyond measure.

"Is it a bird seeking shelter from the rain? Could it be living in my house? No one lives in my yard in the village after Kang Kang and Lele came along."

Chen Ling thought for a moment and said, "The kitchen has a chimney and other entrances, so it's the easiest place for all sorts of odds and ends to live."

"I don't think so. I can't see any bird's nest. Why don't you go take a look?"

Yu Qi'an was still very excited: "These two red-beaked jades are really beautiful. Let's go take a look. It would be great if there was a bird's nest. You can give the little blue horse a bath later."

Before Chen Ling could react to what he said, Chen Ling had already said it.

Little Green Horse and Ah Shou immediately protested. Little Green Horse revealed its true colors, neighing loudly, snorting, and pawing the ground, ready to kick the old man.

Ah Shou couldn't take it anymore. He jumped up, roared angrily, and his eyes practically wanted to devour someone. (End of Chapter)
