My 1995 Small Farm.

In the afternoon, a thin mist filled the winter forest.

Even the warm sunshine couldn't dispel it.

Mixed with the smell of decaying vegetation in the mountains and forests, it was just like smoke.

The mountains and forests are not peaceful in winter.

Chen Ling walked on the thick humus, listening to the various sounds and noises in the mountains and forests.

The rustling sounds were from various small animals moving about and foraging for food.

Mountain leopards, leopards, squirrels, wild monkeys, and even some bold foxes.

When they reached the large pond, Chen Ling even saw some flying squirrels with fleshy wings growing on their sides.

Furthermore, there are far more mountain birds of various kinds this year than in previous years.

Actually, since the local environment has improved, it has attracted a large number of birds.

But those birds only stay for a short time and then fly away.

Unlike this year, there are egrets nesting and staying here, red-crowned cranes nesting and staying here, and even the mountains are full of so many strange and wonderful birds.

And once the variety of wild animals increases, the variety of wild animals will also increase.

"Sigh, after what happened in Yangtougou, we still need to patrol the mountains frequently to drive those dangerous wild animals deep into the Qinling Mountains."

When Chen Ling and Heiwa and Xiao Jin returned, they did not find any reaction from Langbazi.

Then let the two of them search for the wolf pack.

Wolves and wild dogs had gathered around before, so I had to search the surrounding mountains thoroughly before I felt safe.

The two dogs didn't react much this time.

This proves that there are no large packs of wolves around Wuyun Mountain.

That's normal; Chen Ling wiped out the large wolf pack of over fifty in Yangtougou.

If wolves were to appear again, that would be truly bizarre.

and……

He had killed so many wolves that day that he seemed to have developed an invisible aura of malevolence around him.

Even without Heiwa and Xiaojin by his side, the wild animals in the mountains dared not approach him easily.

This even includes many individuals known for their fierce temperaments.

Examples include golden cats and leopards.

They would avoid him whenever they saw him.

This greatly surprised Chen Ling.

Later, after he finished searching the surrounding mountains and forests and released the jackals that had been there all winter, he saw them shivering in front of him.

Chen Ling then realized that it seemed to be true.

"Won't I be able to go wherever I want when I'm traveling in the mountains?"

"That's not right either. I can go wherever I want now. With Du Dongtian here, I'm not afraid of any wild beasts I encounter."

"Well, I'm starting to resemble the eccentric genius they talk about more and more."

Chen Ling sighed and released the gang of jackals back into the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

At the same time, I thought:

"We should release more herbivorous wild animals into the mountains in the future. I was wrong before. I was too influenced by later generations and did not want to damage the environment of my hometown."

But now it seems that the spiritual energy I released has made the environment of my hometown even better.

Restoring the so-called ecological environment is a piece of cake.

So...

My previous ideas were correct.

I could easily turn most of the Qinling Mountains into my breeding farm.

Get more herbivorous wild animals.

Every autumn and winter, we come into the mountains to hunt.

It just so happens that the young men in the village all enjoy hunting...

When they hunt, I'll pay to buy their kills, and we can even develop it into a hunting ground for outsiders.

You can come and play if you pay money.

As for endangered protected animals and protected plants...

That won't interfere with that; we can just designate specific areas.

As his thoughts gradually became more complete, Chen Ling began to turn back.

His purpose in patrolling the mountains this time was twofold: first, to release the jackals back into the wild; and second, to investigate potential dangers in the mountains, such as whether wild animals like wolves were lurking there.

Thirdly, it's to take a walk around the sinkhole.

The climate around the sinkhole is humid, and the temperature doesn't get very low even in winter.

He decided to let some parrots roam freely over there.

This will also provide a backup plan for when I give gifts to children later.

……

One day, two days, and soon three days had passed since the wolf incident.

Although the story didn't spread widely, people still frequently visited Chenwangzhuang.

For example, those young people in the village.

When they killed the black bear before, it was Chen Ling who helped them sell it.

I heard that Chen Ling took all the wolves that were killed in Yangtougou.

They sent over the bear skin and the bear head.

They intended to give it to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling, of course, wouldn't take something for nothing, and in the end, he paid for it.

The main thing is that the black bear's mouthful of teeth can be kept to make some small ornaments.

We'll keep these things for now and consider sending them out later.

Three days passed.

Although Chen Ling instructed everyone not to make a fuss about it.

But in the countryside, it's unrealistic to expect people to keep it completely from outsiders.

The news of Chenwangzhuang's incident also reached the county seat.

That noon, Wang Zhenzhen returned with Liang Hongyu.

As soon as she entered the door, she angrily shouted, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, why didn't you call me back to see when you beat up that old wolf spirit?"

"Oh, so you weren't coming back?"

Chen Ling asked curiously, "Aunt Hongyu said you've been having a blast in the county. If the county is so much fun, why did we call you back?"

"You, you're so annoying! I just made some good friends!"

Wang Zhenzhen, wearing a yellow down jacket, stomped her feet in anger in the yard.

Hearing this, Wang Susu, holding Kang Kang, glanced at her and said, "You spend all day using a slingshot to shoot dogs. Is that what you call making friends?" "Of course! Xiaoyudian and the others, along with two new friends who came back from the city, all play with us. We chased those stray dogs away for a long time."

Wang Zhenzhen let out a smug hum as she finished speaking.

"You talk about beating dogs with such pride, you sound like a tomboy."

Gao Xiulan frowned and glared at her youngest daughter with disdain.

Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu finished looking at the wolf and followed Wang Cunye over from behind.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Wang Zhenzhen being scolded.

But she still spoke up for her: "Zhenzhen will be on winter vacation soon. We told her to go back to Fenglei Town for the New Year this year, but she wants to stay in the county town for a few more days."

"That's right, aren't Mom and Dad going back to celebrate the New Year together?"

Wang Zhenzhen flicked her braid: "This winter is so warm, it definitely won't snow. Then my sister and brother-in-law can come visit us."

He drives very fast.

"Goodness, it's only been a few years, and now they're talking about driving all the time."

Chen Ling smiled.

Rui Rui was nestled in her father's arms, still dozing off.

"So what? Aren't cars meant to be driven?"

As Wang Zhenzhen spoke, seeing how sleepy Rui Rui looked, she asked curiously, "What's wrong with Rui Rui? He won't talk to me when I come back."

"He's sleepy. The little weasel came back these past two days and he's been coming into the house to play every day. He doesn't want to go to sleep at night, and he's dozing off after eating during the day."

Chen Ling smiled helplessly.

“Rui Rui is still not obedient at all. You and his sister can’t spoil him. You have to discipline him when necessary, and be strict with him.”

Wang Zhenzhen kept a straight face and said in a serious tone.

This remark amused everyone.

"Good grief, you're talking about other people too."

"Alright, alright, ignore her, Uncle, Aunt, let's go to the backyard for dinner."

"..."

"Am I wrong?... By the way, brother-in-law, Lynx is coming back soon, did you know?"

"I know, I know, they'll be there in the next couple of days. I'll pick them up then."

Du Juan is still in the hospital.

Professor Zhong and his wife stayed there every day, and Qin Rongxian and his wife would sometimes stroll over to check on them when they had nothing else to do.

Wang Zhenzhen naturally went along with them quite a few times.

It's not just the lynx...

I recently learned that Chen Ling is having a banquet, and many friends are on their way back.

Chen Ling also received the letters well in advance.

...However, these things happen sooner or later. For example, Lynx had agreed with Chen Ling on the phone that he would pick her up, but they ended up having lunch in the kitchen.

He and Professor Han had already arrived in the village.

Upon arriving at the farm, everyone was quite surprised.

Lynx chuckled and said, "We took the waterway. After getting off the boat, we happened to run into a donkey cart carrying bricks, so Uncle Han and I followed it."

The area receives little rain in winter, making it ideal for building houses.

The road was full of vehicles hauling bricks, stones, and sand.

"Oh, I was actually waiting for Uncle Zhong to come and call me."

Chen Ling smiled and told the two of them to sit down quickly, serving them a bowl of hot meat soup.

Professor Han, not even bothering to drink his soup, asked, "You said on the phone the day before yesterday that you caught a wolf? Such a rare creature, take us to see it quickly!"

"Oh right, I forgot about that."

Upon hearing this, the lynx perked up.

"It's right behind us, you'll see it as soon as you go out."

Chen Ling got up and led them outside to see.

When they arrived at the wolf's cage, the two men frowned and clicked their tongues, as if the wolf's appearance was very different from what they had imagined.

"It's hard to imagine that the jackal who colludes with the enemy would look like this. It's not fierce or cunning at all; on the contrary, it looks rather delicate."

"Yes, she's very delicate and petite, you can't tell she's fierce at all."

The two saw the wolf, and their curiosity was satisfied.

As for what to do next, Chen Ling is one of their own, so they have no worries.

Then we went back to the kitchen to eat.

"What's wrong with Rui Rui? It's time to eat, why is he sleeping?"

Chen Ling repeated what she had just said: "...Don't worry about him, he's already eaten."

"Haha, it's so much more fun in the mountains! I think I'll let my child grow up in the village from now on. There are so many fun little things here, it's more interesting than cartoons."
Little kids would definitely love this kind of environment.

“Sure, Dahai said he’d send Yaya over after the New Year, and Yuemin and the others said the same thing… Just imagine, our village will be full of little kids in the future.”

In fact, it wasn't just Liang Yuemin; even Old Wu and He Jiawen had this idea.

"This is a good thing. In my opinion, with so many children, Rui Rui and the others will have plenty of playmates when they grow up."

"Yes, I'm afraid there's not enough time to play them all."

An old friend came back, and we chatted enthusiastically during the meal.

After the meal, Shanmao was eager to go to the county town to visit his wife, and Han Ninggui went with him.

Then he followed Chen Ling back to the village.

Once home, after sitting down in the living room and making hot tea, Han Ninggui asked, "I've heard from many friends that your research has made new progress?"

"Hey, what kind of research is this?"

Chen Ling shook his head: "It's just some random stuff I've been thinking about, but I'm starting to get a feel for it recently."

In the desolate area of ​​Dongtian, the flies reproduce very quickly, and now they have reached their eighth generation.

The eighth generation of maggots is very close to honey flies.

As honey flies reproduce, they become increasingly similar to sterile maggots.

I've heard that when sterile maggots eat rotten flesh, their droppings are actually beneficial to the wound.

Chen Ling is still observing this in the cave, and plans to test it out when he slaughters chickens and sheep at the end of the year.

Also.

What he didn't reveal to others was about Er Tuzi.

It's unknown whether Er Tuzi's molting habit will be retained after it crossbreeds with other falcons.

He considered using the two eagles that Er Tuzi had kidnapped to pluck their feathers for experiments, but he felt it was a bit cruel.

It gives off a bit of a weird, mad scientist vibe. I think I'll wait until after the New Year and try a different approach.

For example, shave off all their feathers, repeat this several times, and then see the effect... (End of this chapter)
